Previously on Genius...

Do you know what Fritz

has been working on?

He's responsible
for thousands of deaths.

You may have changed your religion,

but don't think for a second

you can change your heritage.

But if the worst disputes
between warring nations

can be resolved,
can't two old friends make peace?

I would like you to meet my good friend,
Dr. Niels Bohr.

Are you familiar with Heisenberg's
uncertainty principle?

What about Margot and Ilse?

They're determined
to make their lives here.

Perhaps they'll change their
minds once they see how happy

a person can be in New Jersey.

I am conducting this
inquiry at the request

of Mr. J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover?

What does he want with me?

Dr. Lenard, it's an honor.

He's expecting you, sir.

Heil, mein Fuhrer!

Welcome to the Nazi Party, Dr. Lenard.

The intelligence is thin, I'll admit,

but if it's accurate, well, then...

we'd all better start
learning to speak German

as well as you do.

What else you got?

Not much.

That's why you're here.

We may have the Jerries on their heels,

but if this Heisenberg character
is indeed close to building

an atomic bomb...

Well... Jesus.

What do you want me to do?

It's a Walther PPK.

A Swiss friend of ours
has invited Heisenberg

to lecture in Zurich in December.

You're gonna be there.
If you're captured,

it'll appear
you smuggled it from Germany.

But if that happens...

swallow the pill. It's quick.

And it's a hell of a lot less painful

than what the Nazis will do to you.

Your contact is Professor Scherrer

of the Federal Polytechnic College.
What's my cover?

Swiss secondary school physics teacher.

Tomas Ritter?

Paul Scherrer.

Pleasure to meet you, Herr Professor.

Which one is Heisenberg?

There,

on the right.

Listen for certain words...

"heavy water,"

"fast fission," "plutonium."

Good evening, gentlemen,

ladies.

Thank you for coming.

If anything Heisenberg says

leads you to believe he is
close to constructing a bomb,

kill him.

Congratulations, Dr. Lenard.

The Fuhrer, in his wisdom,

has decided to reward your early support

and continued loyalty

by appointing you
Chief of Aryan Physics.

I am humbled and grateful, Dr. Goebbels.

Please inform the Fuhrer
that my first order of business

will be to reclaim
the glory of German science

by purging the Prussian Academy

of all foreign and impure influences.

We must do more than inform the Fuhrer.

We must inform the people.

In a manner that will
forever burn this moment

into their memory.

The era

of exaggerated Jewish intellectualism

is now at an end!

The triumph of the German Revolution

has again cleared a path
for the German way.

And the future German man will
not only be a man of books,

but also a man of character.

And, thus,
you do well in this midnight hour

to commit to the flames
the evil spirit of the past.

Sieg...

Heil!

Sieg...

Heil!

Sieg... Heil!

Sieg...

Heil!

Albert,

they have raided our apartment.

The cottage as well.

What were they hoping to find,
my supply of...

contraband tobacco?

Margot says that they
were looking for guns.

They claimed to have intelligence

that you were hiding them
for communist insurgents.

Well, that's a very liberal use
of the word "intelligence."

The girls have managed
to save most of your papers.

Poor Herr Hitler.

What will he use for kindling

the next time he wishes
to read by the fire?

This isn't funny, Albert. I know.

That is why we must fight, Elsa.

Fight Hitler however we can.

We haven't any guns.

I have a voice. I can write.

I can speak out,
tell anyone who will listen

that this man is a threat,

that other governments must use

all peaceful means to oppose him.

Margot says that Ilse's
condition is getting worse.

That is not good news, my love.

We must get her out of Germany.

And the rest of our family and friends.

Use your voice for that.

The car is here.

Oh, thank you, Helen.

You go ahead.

I'll-I'll be just a moment.

Don't be too long.

Flexner has threatened to feed me

to the famous Princeton Tigers
if I'm late again.

The Nazis are fanatics.

American capitalists such as yourself

must refuse to do business with them,
Mr. Mills.

I'm surprised a man of your background

needs a lesson in capitalism, Professor.

It doesn't work by refusing

to do business with people.

You're here

to attract donors, Albert,

not to chase them away. Oh, my mistake.

I was under the impression my
job here was to pursue science,

not to be the collector
for your coffers.

Most of these people
are put off as it is,

having so many Jews on the faculty.

They don't want our
politics thrown in their faces.

Albert, look who I have just met.

This is Mr. Henry Morgenthau.

He is Secretary of the
Treasury for Mr. Roosevelt.

An honor to meet you, Professor.

Morgenthau.

A Jewish name?
- As a matter of fact, yes.

Bar mitzvah boy in '04.

Corned beef on rye.

A Jew who's also a politician.

How very interesting.

Albert,
I was thinking maybe Mr. Morgenthau

could give us some advice

on getting our friends out of Germany.

Get up. Let's go.

On your feet, you kike.
- Move! Move!

Where are you taking them?

No Jews in government posts.

That includes this laboratory.

This is an outrage.
How am I to continue my work?

I'm sure you will manage.

Your people are nothing if not clever.

My people?

What are you insinuating?

We know you were not born a Lutheran.

Or would you care to drop your
trousers and prove us wrong?

How-how dare you
speak to me in such a manner?

Your Jew-loving friends
cannot protect you forever...

Haber.

Fritz is a German patriot.

He was the first among us to
raise his hand in the Great War.

He's also a Jew.

Yes, Philipp, but...

...there are Jews and, uh...

and then there are Jews.

I'm told you have
already pressed this matter

with the Fuhrer himself.

Did he not give you a clear answer?
- Yes,

but we cannot turn our backs on Fritz.

He has been a colleague
and a friend for decades.

Yes,

and for decades you supported
the likes of Haber and Einstein

while they destroyed
the purity of German science.

But the Academy is obsolete, Max.

I am in charge of science
in this country now.

Make no mistake, Philipp,

the Fuhrer appointed you
not for your shining intellect,

but for your depraved politics.

I'm afraid there's nothing

I can do to help your
friend Professor Haber.

No university in America wants the stain

of a war criminal on its faculty.

I feared that might happen.

Poor Fritz.
- The good news is

the State Department has
agreed to issue visas

to several of those on your list.

Betty Neumann.

Your son Hans and his family.

Your wife's daughter, Margot.

Thank you.

But what about my other stepdaughter,
Ilse?

She's sick with tuberculosis.

Elsa's gone to Paris
to take care of her, but...

we want to bring her here for treatment.

The immigration laws

exclude anyone with medical conditions.

No one is admitted who might
become a burden to the state.

I would, of course,

pay for her care.

I'm afraid we're facing

the same obstacle with your son, Eduard.
Mr. Secretary,

I promised him. Is there any way
you can make an exception?

I'm sorry,

my hands are tied.

Princeton is so lovely.

We have a pretty little garden

with a magnificent elm tree.

And you would not believe the size

of the grocers, Ilse.

Everything that a person
could ever want to eat,

all in one place, imagine that.

Albert is getting
everyone's visas in order.

And soon we shall all be
together in our little house.

It's like a slow death,

all of my good friends leaving.

I know you did everything you could,
Max.

Germany has betrayed you, Fritz.

No.

The Nazis have betrayed Germany.

But when they are gone,

I'll come home. Ja.

We all will.

Palestine. Imagine that.

It's ironic.

I warned Albert not to get
involved with the Zionists,

and now it's the only place
on God's earth

I seem to be welcome.

Perhaps the climate
will be good for your heart.

Ja.

I will admit,

it could use some healing.

I'm sorry to disturb you, Frau.

Is there anything I can help you with?

No, thank you, Helen. I'm all right.

I just wanted to say again...

how very sorry I am about Ilse.

She was very fond of you.

We all are.

You have become part of the family.

I am honored you would say so.

Perhaps it is time to make you...

a signatory on our bank accounts.

I'm not sure I understand.

Albert cannot handle money at all.

He will need you to do it for him.

Fritz is dead.

Oh, Albert.

No.

Your dearest daughter

and now this?

Why does God never stop pummeling us?

Where are you going?

To work.

Oh, Albert, scratching equations

will not bring Fritz or Ilse back.

I cannot talk about this, Elsa.

I simply cannot.

Who said anything about talking?

Come, sit with me.

My eyes are tired.

It would be so wonderful
if you would read to me

like you used to.

It will take our minds off our cares.

Bohr and Podolsky are expecting me.

They will understand.

Please, Albert.

It's only for a little while.

It's Tolstoy.

Your favorite.

I cannot keep them waiting.

Albert wrote and asked
me to read this to all of you.

"My good friend Haber
was a man of endless curiosity

"and a passion for discovery.

"He wanted to share

"his genius with his country.

"That mattered more to him
than anything else,

"and thus his bitter end
is the tragic story of...

...the unrequited love
of the German Jew."

The SS are outside.

We must finish before
they discover what we are doing.

The entire country
should be honoring Fritz,

Dr. Heisenberg. Instead,

we skulk like cowards.

What other choice do we have?

If this is what we have come to,

perhaps we should leave like Albert did.

No.

We are Germans.

We are patriots.

It is our duty to stay,

to ensure the future of German science.

Art is like science, Albert.

It cannot be rushed.

Forgive my impatience, Sergei, but...

how much longer is this going to take?

An eternity, if you do not hold still.

Hello, darling.

Can you not see that I am working?

Aren't you going to introduce me?

Dr. Einstein,

my wife, Margarita.

It's an honor to meet such a great man.

I would rise to greet you properly,
madam,

but unfortunately,
your husband has accepted

a very generous commission from my boss,
Mr. Flexner,

designed to keep me permanently silent,

immobile and on display.

Mm. It's off

to a fine start.

But I'm afraid

you have not made Dr. Einstein
nearly handsome enough.

Fourth or fifth?

I beg your pardon?

Your wife. She's your cousin.

So is mine.

Fourth or fifth?

Elsa and I are first cousins.

Oh, well, you Europeans
are certainly more permissive

than we Yankees.

Speaking of Europe, Mr. President,

I was hoping... Come, now, Professor.

I didn't invite the world's
most brilliant scientist

to dinner to talk politics. No.

I was hoping you could explain to me

this famous relativity theory of yours

that's got everyone
scratching their heads.

If I explain relativity to you

in a way that you can understand,

will you grant me a few
moments to discuss Germany?

It's a deal.

If you are standing on hot coals,

a second feels like an eternity.

But when you are in bed
with a beautiful woman,

an hour passes in a split second.

That is relativity.

You win, Professor.

But I know what you are going to say.

You want me to take a stand

against Mr. Hitler.

America must lead the
world in opposing him.

Boycotts, blockades...

In a way, I envy the little bastard.

He does whatever he wants.

But in this country,
no man, not even the president,

can act alone.

Then you must persuade Congress.

Those chuckleheads will not
support action against Germany

because their constituents

don't feel personally threatened.

Perhaps not today...

but tomorrow will be here soon enough.

I'm sorry I can't help you, Professor.

But allow me to offer
a small consolation.

I understand you're applying
for citizenship.

I could expedite the process for you.

Thank you, sir.

But I don't want any special treatment.

That's very noble of you, Professor, but

the citizenship test requires
a lot of study.

Promise me you'll save
some of that brain power

for science.

Imagine two particles.

Measure their mass.

Stick them together.

Let them spring apart.

What happens?

Their positions and their
velocities are related,

but...
- The uncertainty principle

says if we measure
the position of one...

Then we cannot measure its velocity.
- Ah.

But we can still measure the velocity

of that second particle.

And since they are both
mathematically related,

we can then determine the velocity

of the first particle,

so we'd know both
its position and velocity

without having to measure them both.

Heisenberg's uncertainty
principle disproved.

With certainty.

You are vanquished, sir.

Hmm, but...

what if the act of measuring
the first particle

influenced the second,

changed it somehow
at the time it was measured?

Impossible. That would be...

spooky action at a distance.

"Spooky action."

You're a better poet
than you are a scientist.

Surrender now,

and I will offer you generous terms.

Well, what did you have in mind?

Elsa has made some wonderful strudel.

Helen!

Bring us some strudel!

Helen?

I've been calling you.

It's as we suspected, Mrs. Einstein.

Late stages of myocarditis.

So...

how do we treat it?

I'll give you some time
to be alone with your husband.

Elsa?

How could you keep this from me?

I didn't want to worry you.

You have...

so much else in your mind.

Your science, your committees...

Don't worry.

Helen can take me home.

You can go to work.

I know that is what you need.

I think I should like
to read to you instead.

"The whole world

"is now divided into two parts.

"One half is she,

"and there is all joy, hope,

"light.

"The other half is where she is not,

and there is all gloom and darkness."

You make a lovely nurse,

Dr. Einstein.

"'I cannot come to visit you,

"'but is it possible
that I should never see you?

"I love you madly. Can I never?'

"And blocking her path,

"he brought his face close to hers.

"Love hinders death.

"Love is life.

"Everything, everything I understand,

I understand only because I love."

"Everything is,

"everything exists

only because I love."

The Germans have split
the nucleus of the atom.

I didn't believe it at first,

but that bastard Hahn,
he actually did it.

My God, Niels.

Do you think...

A bomb? Impossible.

You could never find enough uranium.

What if you could?

You'd need an army of scientists.

The Germans are very
good at raising armies.

All the best minds have left, though.

Not Hahn.

Not Heisenberg.

We must inform

the American government immediately.

Why would the American government listen

to a couple of foreign nobodies like us?

I know someone they will listen to.

SPORTSCASTER That's strike one

for the man they call
"Einstein in knickers."

"Einstein in knickers"?

Why do they call him that?

They say he's the most intelligent

of all the ballplayers.

Elsa would sue them for libel

if she heard them use my name like that

on the radio.

Ooh.

Hmm.

Mmm.

Mmm. Delicious.

Oh.

More cinnamon this time?
- Mmm.

Maybe you're just learning
to like Russian sweets.

Hmm. SPORTSCASTER: Swing and a miss.

That's strike three for Moe Berg.

Moe might not swing the bat like he did

when he first came up 15 years ago,

but he still has a cannon for an arm.

Berg's the smartest man in baseball.

Lawyer, Princeton grad,

reads as many as ten newspapers a day,

speaks seven languages.

He is very smart.

Which reminds me,

you promised you'd help me
prepare for my citizenship test,

not to distract me with baseball.

Shall we go to my study?

I'd prefer you take me to bed.

But you are married.

Were you never unfaithful to your wife,
Albert?

Yes.

Quite often, in fact.

We had an understanding.

Then what is the problem?

It's funny. When Elsa was alive, I...

I never felt any guilt
about other women.

Now that she's gone...

I somehow feel I'd be betraying her.

It's been years, Albert.

I know you still miss her very much,
but...

you must be so lonely without her.

How many years does a senator serve?

Four.
- No, Albert,

this is the president.

Oh.

Two?

No, this is the congressman.

A senator serves six.

Now, the electoral college.

No, please. It makes no sense.

I know what you're going to say.

She's a married woman
and I'm a foolish old man.

I was going to say there's
a Mr. Szilard here to see you.

Every split

would cause...

A tremendous chain reaction.

You discovered this,
Albert, decades ago.

Energy equals mass times
the speed of light squared.

Which means with only this much material

you can destroy a city
the size of Berlin.

God help us all.

Albert...

you are the most famous
scientist in the world.

You must tell the president.

What should I say to the president?

That America's scientists
must build a bomb

before the Germans do.

I'm a devout pacifist.

You cannot be a pacifist
in the face of evil, Albert.

Hitler is a madman.

Imagine how he would use such a weapon.

He could obliterate London, Moscow.

Many years ago,
Fritz Haber tried to convince me

his poison gas would
end the war more quickly.

It only made it more horrific.

Science must never be used for violence.

Do you think Adolph Hitler

shares your moral reservations?

You must contact Roosevelt.

He will listen to you.

That's the trouble, Leo.

What if he does?

Achieving an atomic chain reaction

will be the greatest feat

in the history of German science.

And to think,

the Fuhrer has put you
in charge of all of it.

Carl...

What if we succeed?

Then they will write books about us.

The Fuhrer himself

will pin medals on our chests.

We shall be heroes.

Something troubling you, Professor?

I do not suppose I have
ever felt more uncertain

about whether or not
what I'm doing is right.

What would Frau Einstein
have advised you to do?

I expect she would have reminded me

that I once told her we must
fight Hitler however we can.

Then you have your answer.

God forgive me if I'm making
a terrible mistake.

"Based on this new phenomenon,
it is conceivable,

"though much less certain,

"that an extremely powerful bomb

of a new type may be constructed."

A single bomb..." ROOSEVELT:
"A single bomb of this type,

"carried by boat and exploded in a port,

"might very well destroy

"the whole port together

with some of the surrounding territory."

Good God.

I don't need to tell you
what could happen

if the Germans develop
this technology before we do.

We'll all be doing the goose step.

Or worse.

Which is why I'm asking you
to take charge of a program

to research and develop
an atomic weapon.

It'd require tremendous resources.

Of that I have no doubt.

I'd need wide latitude
to manage the project...

the scientists, the military,

clandestine operations.

Secrecy would be vital, sir.

We couldn't let the Krauts get onto us.

Everyone involved
will need security clearance.

Oppenheimer,

Teller, Fermi...

Einstein?

No.

No, Einstein is out.

You haven't even run his background,
Edgar.

The Bureau has been concerned
about Einstein for years.

He's a radical.

Almost certainly a communist.

He's the man who informed the president

of the urgency of this matter.

He cannot be trusted

to be loyal to our country.

I will support and defend

the Constitution and laws

of the United States of America...

...against all enemies,
foreign and domestic...

...that I will bear arms
on behalf of the United States

when required by the law.

...that I will bear arms
on behalf of the United States

when required by the law.

Albert,
you have just become an American.

Why ever would you
want to learn Russian?

So I can tell you I love you
in your own language.

Ya tebya lyublyu.

Ya teba...

lyu... lyublyu?

Lyublyu.

Ya tebya lyublyu.

Ya tebya lyublyu.

Oh, uh, I-I'm sorry, I didn't, uh...

Oh, Leo.

How wonderful to see you.

You remember my friend, Margarita.

Hello.
- She's teaching me Russian.

Yes. Very nice to see you again, madam.

I do beg your pardon.

Come in, come in.

Please forgive us, Margarita.

Why don't you make us
some of your delicious piroshki?

Of course.

They rejected me.

Who did?

The atomic bomb program.

They won't give me a security clearance.

I need you to put in a word for me.

They didn't give me
a security clearance either.

What?
- Frankly, it's a relief.

It's one thing to write a letter,

another thing entirely
to help build a bomb.

So you find a Russian girlfriend

and now I have no one
to speak up for me.

Leo,
what on Earth are you talking about?

Well, they obviously suspect her.

Of what?

Decoding my poetry,
reporting it to the Kremlin?

I'm not saying it's true,
I'm simply saying

it's a question they would ask.

Why would such
a beautiful young woman...

Ever pay attention

to a disheveled old fool like me?

Albert, I-I didn't mean to...

It's all right, Leo.

I just let my imagination
run away from me.

I'm sure she cares for you very much.

Yes.

I'm sure she does.

Air must have leaked in somehow.

It's ignited the uranium powder.

We must cool it. More water over here!

No, it's too late.
The pile's lost stability.

Everybody out! Now!

Go, go!

Now!

So you have achieved

atomic detonation?

It was not the atomic material
itself that exploded.

It was the pressure from the
steam that burst the container.

Your work has progressed quite slowly,
Werner.

And now you have managed

to destroy a very expensive laboratory.

One could arrive at
the conclusion that your heart

and mind are not fully committed
to this undertaking.

That is not true, sir.

I am ambitious to make a stable reactor.

The Fuhrer does not care
about a reactor!

Your priority must be a weapon.

Constructing a weapon is an
extremely difficult process.

If you are not capable,
I will find a man who is.

That will not be necessary, sir.

I will do all that is required of me.

I can do this, Mr. Halliwell.

I don't doubt your qualifications.

What I don't understand is why.

I'm too old to join the army.

If we do take you on, well...

let's just say you might be asked

to do things that you find, uh...

unsavory.

However I can contribute, sir.

This isn't a game, Moe.

Mr. Halliwell,

I'm a grown man who has spent his life

trying to hit a ball with a stick.

I'm tired of playing games.

Dr. Einstein?

Yes?

Vannevar Bush,

Director of the National Defense
Research Council.

I have learned that in this country

the word "defense"
often means the exact opposite.

We were hoping you could help us
with some calculations.

You're trying to force uranium isotopes

into a gaseous state.

If we don't show some results soon,
our funding may dry up.

I'm sorry, but I'm quite busy.

They're only a few equations, Professor.

Then again, just one of my equations

seems to have started all this madness.

So...

I really shouldn't be telling you this,

but our intelligence services
have reported

rumblings from Germany.

We know the Nazis are
putting everything they have

into building a bomb.

You are aware my security
clearance has been denied?

That's why we have to
keep this conversation

strictly between us.

Nobody can know about this.

God forbid the Germans...

or the Russians...

learn what we're doing.

Albert?

I thought you were coming to bed.

Yes, of course.

Just a few minutes more.

Don't be too long.

What are you looking for?

Could not sleep.

My book wasn't where I left it
in the kitchen.

I thought perhaps...
- Ah.

...perhaps Helen put it here.

Well, I woke up with my stomach
grumbling for a midnight snack.

Well, then,
let me make you something to eat.

Why not?

All of this is, of course,
very complicated, but if something

has been particularly unclear
this evening, I can assure you

it's because of my inability
to explain it properly.

Listen for certain words.

Heavy water, fast fission,

plutonium.

If anything Heisenberg says leads you

to believe he is close
to constructing a bomb...

Kill him.

Right there in the lecture hall?

We can't allow
the Germans to get this weapon.

And just as importantly,
we can't allow the Russians

to get their hands on Heisenberg.

Even if the Nazis don't succeed,

we've got to keep the Commies

from getting these secrets, too.

...a formula that will allow us

to calculate the masses of the...

A fascinating lecture, Herr Professor.

Although I am afraid some of
it was beyond my abilities.

I know how busy you must be,
but if it is not an imposition,

perhaps I can walk you back
to your hotel.

I have a few questions.

I'm surprised you are teaching

such advanced ideas in secondary school.

Alas, I only teach the fundamentals.

Although I do like to keep up
with the latest developments.

I suppose I still harbor the fantasy

I could be a real physicist like you.

What would you like to know?

The topic that most interests me
is atomic fission.

The journals say that it will
become a source of energy

more powerful than coal or even oil.

That is certainly our hope.

I have also read

that it could be used to create a bomb.

Is this true?

A weapon is only theoretical.

Yes, but, theoretically,

if you had the materials,

could it be done?

It would be
an extremely difficult process.

But I have a question about

atomic fission for you, Herr Ritter.

If you were a real physicist,

one who knew how to build such a weapon,

and you knew it would help
your country win a war...

...but that it could also
kill thousands...

...what do you suppose
would be stronger...

your patriotism...

or your moral qualms?

I suppose...

if I were

a true patriot...

I would have to push those qualms aside.

Would you really?

Tell me, uh...

do you know my uncertainty principle?

Of course.

Uh, the... the more precisely

you measure a particle's velocity,

the less precisely
you know its position.

So perhaps the more precisely
you attempt to take my measure,

the less precisely
you will know my position.

Good night, Herr Ritter.

Thank you for your time, Herr Professor.

The Germans do not have a bomb.

I'm told

the intelligence is quite conclusive.

Well, if you are right,

we can all take a breath.

But I'm also hearing

that our American friends

are very close to succeeding.

Even if that is true,

Hitler and his grey geese
are in retreat.

The Americans will not need an
atomic bomb to defeat Germany.

What about Japan?

They wouldn't.

That's why I am here, Albert.

To ask you

to write another letter to Roosevelt.

To tell him
this weapon must never be used.

Are you not the same man
that stood before me

six years ago and begged me

to get this godforsaken project started?

This bomb... some say it could start

a chain reaction that would
ignite the atmosphere itself.

Write to the president,
Albert, before it's too late.

This is a late bulletin

from our nation's capital.

The president of the United States,

Franklin Delano Roosevelt,

is dead.

It appears he has died
from a cerebral hemorrhage.

Vice President Truman
and the cabinet are meeting now

at the White House to settle all matters

of public importance.

All we know so far
is that the president died...

The Fuhrer is dead!

We must evacuate Berlin!

This way!

This way!

Get him on the truck.

Get in, Heisenberg.

Let's go!

You are being recalled.

I'm more useful here.

Useful? Really?

Have you brought us anything of value

from your professor friend?

He's not my only source.

Tell Moscow I wish to stay.

Why?

Because you have made
the unforgivable mistake

of falling in love with your target?

You will do as you are told, Comrade.

I don't understand why you are leaving.

There is someone else?

No.

No, Albert.

But I do...

I do love my country.

Russia has been devastated by the war,

and I am needed at home.

You know, I often suspected
you wanted more from me

than just my company.

Albert...

But it's so hard for an old man

to find companionship.

I suppose I convinced myself.

Why couldn't both things be true?

Why couldn't you love your country,

and also love me?

You really are a brilliant man.

Professor?

I've just heard it on the radio.

They have dropped a bomb

on a city in Japan.

They say it used the power of the atom.

My God.

TRUMAN It is an atomic bomb.

It is a harnessing of the
basic power of the universe.

The force from which the sun
draws its power has been loosed

against those who brought war

to the Far East.

We have spent more than $2 billion

on the greatest scientific
gamble in history,

and we have won.

Yanks beat you Jerries again,

didn't they?

...not the size of the enterprise,

its secrecy, or its cost,

but the ach...

How did they do it?

It's an extremely simple process,
actually.

Get me a pencil and a piece
of paper and I'll show you.
