Who are they bringing in? They hadn't said. STRAUSS: Mr. Chairman, if I may, I'm nominated for Commerce Secretary. Why seek the opinion of scientists? This is a Cabinet post, Admiral. We seek a wide range of opinion. Well, I'd like to know the name of the scientist testifying. I'd like the chance to cross-examine. This is not a court. STRAUSS: (grunts) Formality, huh? SENATE AIDE: No presidential Cabinet nominee has failed to be confirmed since 1925. This is just how the game is played. It's in the bag, Lewis. So play nice. They bring in a scientist, so what? You don't know scientists like I do, Counselor. They resent anyone who questions their judgment, especially if you're not one of them. I was chair of the AEC. I'm easy to blame for what happened to Robert. We can't have the Senate thinking the scientific community doesn't support you, sir. Or should we pivot? - SENATE AIDE: To what? - And embrace it. "I fought Oppenheimer, and the US won." I-I don't think we need to go there. Isn't there someone we can call who knows what really happened? - Teller. - He'll make an impression. Can you get the name of the scientist they've called? - Probably. - Find out if he was based in Chicago or Los Alamos during the war. Why does that matter? Well, if he was based in Chicago, then he worked under Szilard and Fermi, not the cult of Oppie at Los Alamos. Robert built that damn place. He was founder, mayor, sheriff, all rolled into one.

ROBB: You insisted on bringing on your brother Frank, - a known Communist. - A former Communist. You brought a known former Communist onto America's most secret and important defense project. I knew my brother could be trusted. Absolutely. And you felt your judgment was sound on who on the team could be trusted?

Then... the second thing you'll have to do is appoint Hans Bethe to run the Theoretical division. (rousing music playing) Wait, what was the first? Take off that ridiculous uniform. You're a scientist. Groves is insisting we join. Tell Groves to go shit in his hat. They need us for who we are. So be yourself. Only better. (rousing music continues)

There's been another screw-up. Lomanitz just got drafted. - We are at war, Doctor. - Don't be an asshole, Nichols. We need this kid. Fix it, will you? It wasn't a mistake. Your friend Lomanitz has been trying to unionize the Radiation Lab. He promised to quit all that. Well, he hasn't. Security officer at Berkeley's concerned about Communist infiltration through that union, - the F.A... - F.A.E.C.T.
