(scoffs) ROBERT: He may not be wrong. Stimson is now telling me we bombed an enemy that was essentially defeated. TELLER: Robert, you've all the influence now. Please. Urge them to continue my research on the Super. I neither can nor will, Edward. Why not? It's not the right use of our resources. Is that what you really believe? J. Robert Oppenheimer. Sphinx-like guru of the atom. Nobody knows what you believe.

Dr. Oppenheimer, it's an honor. Please, take a seat. No need, um, I just wanted to check whether I should talk to Lomanitz while I'm here, given your concerns. Well, I'd say that's really up to you, Professor, - but I'd be cautious. - Uh-huh. Understood. Oh, and, um, (clears throat) as regards to the union, I wanted to give you a heads-up on a... on a man named Eltenton. A heads-up? Yes, just that he might merit watching is all.

You are aware that the Nazis have a two-year head start. Dr. Oppenheimer, the fact that your security clearance is proving difficult to obtain is not my fault. It's yours. May not be your fault, but it's your problem. Because I'm going. STRAUSS: And how many people were in these, uh, - open discussions? - NICHOLS: Too many. Compartmentalization was supposed to be the protocol. We were in a race against the Nazis. And now the race is against the Soviets. - Not unless we start it. - STRAUSS: Robert. They just fired a starting gun. What's the nature of the device they detonated? ROBERT: The data indicates it may have been a plutonium implosion device. Like the one you built at Los Alamos. The Russians have a bomb, Truman needs to know what's next. What's next? Arms talks. - Arms talks. - Obviously.

And you thought Pash would be satisfied with that? I was attempting to give them Eltenton without opening a can of worms. I told them a cock-and-bull story. Did you lie to General Groves too? No. I admitted to him that I'd lied to Pash. GARRISON: Do you recall this conversation - about the Chevalier incident? - (scoffs) I've seen so many versions of it. Um... Wasn't confused before, but I'm certainly getting there now. GARRISON: And what was your conclusion? That he was under the influence of the typical American schoolboy attitude that there's something wicked about telling on a friend. Well, now. Might we know through whom the contact was made? That would in... involve people who are not to be involved in this. Is that someone a member of the project? A member of the faculty, yes, but not in the project, no. Ah. So Eltenton made his approach through a member of the faculty here at Berkeley?

I won't work for that man. (others exclaim) Let him go. He's a prima donna. SERBER: I agree. He should leave Los Alamos. Okay. Kisty, you replace Neddermeyer. Seth, I'm putting you on plutonium. Lilli, you go work for Kisty. Because he needs you. Fuchs, you take Teller's role. I'm putting you exclusively on the implosion device. And no one is leaving Los Alamos. (rousing music playing)
