Let me make this simple for you, gentlemen. According to my intelligence, which I cannot share with you, the Japanese people will not surrender under any circumstances short of a successful and total invasion of the home islands. Many lives will be lost, American and Japanese. The use of the atomic bomb on Japanese cities will save lives. If we retain moral advantage. - How so? - Well, if we use this weapon without informing our allies, they'll see it as a threat. And we'll be in an arms race. How open can we be with the Soviets? BUSH: Secrecy won't stop the Soviets from becoming part of the atomic world. We've been told they have no uranium. You've been misinformed. A Russian bomb is a matter of time. The program needs to continue at full pace after the war. Uh, Secretary Stimson, if I may... Not all scientists on the project are in agreement. In fact, this might be a moment to consider other opinions. - If you talk a scientist in... - GROVES: The Manhattan Project has been plagued from the start by certain scientists of doubtful discretion and uncertain loyalty. One of them just tried to meet with the president. Now, we need these men, but as soon as it's practical, we should sever any such scientists from the program. Wouldn't you agree, Doctor?

(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.

Christ's sake. (door slams) It wasn't Nichols or Hoover or one of Truman's guys. It was you. You gave the file to Borden. You set him on Oppenheimer. - You convinced him to... - (loudly): Borden... (in normal tone): didn't take any convincing. NICHOLS: Take your time, use the entire file. Write up your conclusion, send them to the FBI. The material is obviously extensive, but there's nothing new here. STRAUSS: Your conclusions will be. And they'll have to be answered. Hoover passes them to McCarthy? Oppenheimer's too slippery for that self-promoting clown. I've talked it over with Hoover, he'll hold McCarthy at bay while you do this with the AEC. - A trial. - No. No trial. You can't give Oppenheimer a platform. You can't martyr him. We need a systematic destruction of Oppenheimer's credibility so he can never again speak on matters of national security. Then what?
