1
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,557
Pentagon 1942.
2
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,196
World War II
has been going on for three years.
3
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,520
The Nazis, victorious in Europe,
declared war on America.
4
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,360
Nine months after Pearl Harbor.
5
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,717
Rest.
6
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,836
Come on... Come on!
7
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,549
One, two, three...
8
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,836
The Japs better watch out.
Good luck.
9
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,997
The Genie will miss you.
10
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,876
Thank you, gentlemen. I built it,
I want to eat it.
11
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,393
Well done.
12
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:19,599
- Go bust some Jap, Groves.
- Thank you, Thomas.
13
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,471
I won't miss it.
14
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,190
I will no longer be able to leave an office
to lead men into battle.
15
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,473
- No need, Colonel Groves.
- Even Bronson wants to go to the front!
16
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,876
You are an engineering officer.
17
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,072
It's from here
that you will lead the fight.
18
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,751
It is to this position that you appoint me,
this cul-de-sac?
19
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,316
This “cul-de-sac” is of interest
personally the President.
20
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,518
It is not
what I was promised.
21
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,076
Study the question. Go to Chicago,
talk to the scientists.
22
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,237
If it seems possible, go for it.
23
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,195
Choose who you want,
take what you need.
24
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,392
You could win it on your own,
this war.
25
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,955
With a bonus star.
26
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,109
Our soldiers have morale and harass
the Germans,
27
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,279
but their losses are worrying
seriously Allies
28
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,472
in this war against the Nazi enemy.
29
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,559
Bad news
of the war in the Pacific.
30
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,435
We are confirmed that three cruisers
were sunk.
31
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,713
- The names of the victims are unknown.
- Come in!
32
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,312
It would have been a bomber raid
and Japanese hunters early in the morning.
33
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,672
- This way. Here !
- Lizard?
34
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,393
Szilard!
35
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,275
General Groves, I've been waiting for you.
Enter.
36
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,077
Forgive me. It happens to me
to be stuck there...metaphorically.
37
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,358
I read that...Is it possible?
38
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,315
Could you add
a little hot water?
39
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,319
I'm not an expert in stories
fairies, just tell me if it ends well.
40
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,950
What I wrote is possible.
Probably inevitable.
41
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,790
Separate the uranium 235.
42
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,470
Suddenly make contact
two elements
43
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,230
so that the resulting mass
- no bigger than that -
44
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,434
suffer a reaction
in a spontaneous chain.
45
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,520
What if this mass was the epicenter
of this explosion,
46
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,358
the entire city of Chicago
would be disintegrated.
47
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,194
Alleluia.
48
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,918
For the moment we do not have
only theories, concepts...
49
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,431
If we can make this thing,
the Boche too.
50
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,031
Yes, Germany
has the scientific capacity.
51
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,235
- You need direction. I can serve.
- THANKS.
52
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,397
You need an ally, general.
53
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,078
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
OCTOBER 1942
54
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,597
Tell us about this general.
55
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,552
For what ?
56
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,956
Because it's mysterious.
57
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,629
"I'm waiting for you
somewhere God knows where,
58
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:08,471
“not before 4:20 p.m. nor after 4:29 p.m..”
59
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,799
As they say,
60
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,676
he is a braggart who has spent his life
digging holes in Latin America.
61
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,669
- Native graves no doubt!
- Oh, Frank!
62
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,235
After all, Robert is a scholar.
63
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,239
If the Army
wants it, she will want it all.
64
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,398
Robert as a whole, why not?
65
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,240
Let's see what he has to offer me.
66
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,239
- Robert, do we have to drive so fast?
- Yes !
67
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,556
- It's crazy.
- Yes !
68
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,637
Yes !
69
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,315
This way, Professor Oppenheimer.
70
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,271
Professor, this way.
71
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,639
Leslie Groves.
Dick for my friends. Sit down.
72
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,034
Ingenuity. I like it.
73
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,709
We created it from nothing
except in there.
74
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,278
Get out!
75
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,196
The old man doesn't like
promiscuity, huh?
76
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,197
Guess what?
77
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,914
The big head
wants carrot juice.
78
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,397
Give him what he asks for.
It's a trick worth taking.
79
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,240
Weird, this guy.
80
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,229
Oppenheimer is a crack.
Indecently intelligent.
81
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,991
He knows it. He is temperamental.
It won't be easy to handle.
82
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,271
The general knows what he's doing.
83
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,317
Oppenheimer is not on our side.
84
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,512
If the general chooses it,
it will be a big mistake.
85
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,555
The project must be coherent.
86
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,874
I think you are
the man for the job.
87
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,471
I have a weakness
for men of worth.
88
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,717
The Frisés work there tirelessly.
89
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,878
If they arrive before us,
imagine a little.
90
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,594
Where do you start?
91
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,598
By focusing.
92
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,191
There are eminent specialists
with each their own score.
93
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,791
We bring them together.
We isolate them. No distractions.
94
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,755
We create an atmosphere
of creative tension.
95
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,315
Everyone competes to solve
a problem.
96
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,151
With a project manager.
For the moment everything is scattered.
97
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,716
- Everything must be centralized.
- There is a bone.
98
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,515
Some here are hostile
to your political choices.
99
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,793
My political choices are transparent.
100
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,790
I hope so.
You could win a war
101
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,674
and the Nobel Prize.
102
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,918
Commander De Silva
reminds you
103
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,680
that your train leaves at 6 p.m.
104
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,871
No respite for the tough.
105
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,877
Oh, teacher,
106
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,835
if you commit,
I say it with all humility,
107
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,874
intellect gives way to braid.
108
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,717
This general is a ganache.
109
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,754
A zero. In 8 days
he will eat out of my hand.
110
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,917
So are you going to accept?
111
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:17,560
I ask myself the question.
Lots of questions.
112
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,673
I see.
113
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,271
I am the queen of banalities
at breakfast.
114
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,913
Save some for the evening,
as the boss's wife.
115
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,839
Does that mean we're moving?
116
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,600
You have to say yes.
117
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,110
You're too bright for Berkeley.
118
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,392
"The Creation of Adam"
by Michelangelo:
119
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,160
origin...destiny.
120
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,036
Origin and destiny.
121
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,349
The struggle to exhume one
and discovering the other, that’s science.
122
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:58,155
Before leaving to untangle
my own little destiny,
123
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,910
I want to congratulate you all
to be the best.
124
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:07,718
I have faith in you. God save you
and may your life be rich and sweet.
125
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,151
- THANKS.
- We will miss you, Oppie!
126
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,034
LOS ALAMOS, NEW MEXICO
APRIL 1943
127
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,117
Hurry up. Move forward!
128
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,475
Get out.
129
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,038
My general!
130
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,469
- Hello, general.
- Good news, Jack?
131
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:28,149
The services are installed,
132
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,194
the sewers are repaired
and water is everywhere.
133
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,437
The two laboratories...
134
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,679
That's not enough.
We're two weeks late.
135
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,999
There is a bunch of scientists
who are waiting.
136
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,272
Hire and catch up
in a week.
137
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,438
We cannot accommodate
more staff.
138
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,315
House them?
Do you think they will sleep?
139
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,479
Order tents
to ease your conscience.
140
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,877
I had asked
guard dogs.
141
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,596
- I don't see any.
- They are coming, General.
142
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,439
So...
143
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,594
Everything that happens here
is strictly confidential.
144
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,872
No exceptions. Nor woman. Nor hairdresser.
145
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,515
No exceptions.
146
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,759
What you see,
147
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,239
what you hear,
148
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,954
what you read
and what you dream of,
149
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,878
what gives you sourness,
which causes your ulcers,
150
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,037
that makes you sweat,
151
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,880
what wakes you up at night...
152
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,117
All this...
153
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,836
belongs to the United States Army.
154
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,710
Or to me,
if that makes you more comfortable.
155
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,550
You have to come down
of your clouds, gentlemen,
156
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,116
and undertake
de gagner la guerre.
157
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,234
I'll only say it once. Just one.
158
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,717
Those who know, know.
Those who ignore it, ignore it.
159
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,153
You are not here for your comfort.
160
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,277
All right ?
161
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:24,079
You are here
to go beyond the theoretical,
162
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,635
the speculative, the fanciful.
163
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,797
You are here
164
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,190
to mobilize talent, intelligence,
the energy that God gave you
165
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,155
with a view to a concrete realization:
166
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,237
a military weapon.
167
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,637
Nuclear. The atomic bomb.
168
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,469
More discreet the whispers,
gentlemen.
169
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,230
Why make a bomb?
Just throw this guy at Berlin.
170
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,193
It will have the same effect.
171
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,270
We will designate the thing
by the term “gadget” or “machine”.
172
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,313
Is it clear?
173
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,990
There is a word
that I refuse to hear.
174
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,760
That's the word "impossible".
175
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,510
- You are two days late.
- I went to 109 East Palace Street
176
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,156
see Ms. McKibben,
but there was no one there.
177
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,673
I jumped on a bus
which almost took me back to Chicago.
178
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,155
I'm moping on buses,
trains,
179
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,234
stations for 60 hours.
180
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,394
In Santa Fe I was told
that this place didn't exist.
181
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,159
It's true.
182
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,753
We can have a bite
somewhere?
183
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,112
- We've already eaten.
- Awesome.
184
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,472
If you want a shower,
go now.
185
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,320
They turn off the water at 2 p.m.
186
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,837
Open this door!
187
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,157
Sorry, I couldn't get in.
188
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,479
In a month, you'll be doing this to get out.
Are you Merriman?
189
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,591
- Yes.
-Richard Schoenfield.
190
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,279
I'm the doctor.
191
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,429
You are perfect like
roommate. Brute force.
192
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,474
Name of God! What is this?
193
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,559
- It looks like a fridge.
- It's true.
194
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,152
- He looks like he's stuck.
- You've come at just the right time.
195
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,876
Luckily you're here.
Which side do you take?
196
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,078
Ready ?
197
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,959
- Are you helping me or what?
- Lift.
198
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:24,478
The Oppenheimer team
solves all problems.
199
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,157
Gentlemen, this project
has three aspects.
200
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,795
Physics. How much material?
Plutonium or uranium 235?
201
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,958
Two: manufacturing the product.
202
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,993
This concerns Oakridge,
Tennessee and Hanford. And three...
203
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,034
our responsibility.
It's child's play.
204
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,711
Build the machine, test it.
And hope to be able to control it.
205
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,991
Gentlemen, we are here.
206
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,711
At the starting point.
This is our objective.
207
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,912
We have a deadline of 19 months.
208
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,230
It seems very short.
209
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,399
Enrico, it's in 19 months
that Oakridge will deliver to us.
210
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,549
We have 19 months to assemble,
pack and deliver the package.
211
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,512
Contradictors?
212
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,472
No ?
213
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,954
GOOD.
214
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,835
19 months starting from nothing.
Damn.
215
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:33,035
But we have Oppie and the best
theorists and engineers in the world.
216
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,234
Some are already legendary.
And so young. It's a hive in here.
217
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,114
The doctor seems like a nice guy.
218
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,154
According to him, the job is cotton
but he will watch over us.
219
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:48,479
His hospital looks like
at Noah's Ark.
220
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,719
When I think of Jimmy fighting
in the Philippines, I'm not complaining.
221
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,038
I'm leaving you.
The general wants a report.
222
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,709
And when Groves wants something,
it's right away.
223
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,399
Again.
224
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,437
We build a cannon
225
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,679
whose mouth is blocked
by a welded subcritical mass.
226
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,589
With another subcritical mass,
we make a shell
227
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,677
which we throw into the cannon.
228
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,638
- How much material?
- About 15 kilos.
229
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,797
You might as well ask for the moon!
230
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,517
We want to capture the energy
which powers the universe. Stunning.
231
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,430
We only have problems.
Not counting those to come.
232
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,711
Tell me the problem, I'll get used to it.
233
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,991
There are two problems.
234
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,795
The pre-detonation. The gadget
disintegrates before exploding.
235
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,957
Two, the weight problem.
236
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,551
For the shell to have the required velocity,
237
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,640
the cannon will have to be so heavy
that we won't be able to move it.
238
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,239
Deke?
239
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,353
For an 18 cm projectile
in diameter,
240
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,554
the barrel tube
will be more than 10 cm thick.
241
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,556
I hope you find
music.
242
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,320
We don't even have yet
a tune to hum.
243
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,598
- Free discussion.
- I don't approve...
244
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,189
Free discussion.
Seth, Deke, the barrel barrel.
245
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,119
Robert, Michael, the detonation.
246
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,358
Shit and shit again!
It must be the altitude.
247
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,713
- We're just scribbling with chalk.
- We're floundering.
248
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,436
If we cast a cannon barrel
in light alloy?
249
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,794
The compression would be too strong.
We have to explode the atoms.
250
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,039
Focus energy
and crush the mass.
251
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,957
Okay, let's go over all that again.
252
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,915
The tube is so heavy
that a plane cannot lift it.
253
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:50,999
- But the explosive force...
-Michael!
254
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,237
Michael, come here.
255
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:58,478
When I squeeze this orange
what do I get?
256
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,353
- Juice.
- No.
257
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,120
I press her.
I get compression.
258
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,553
We take a hollow ball
of plutonium. We compress it
259
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,151
with a retracted explosion,
an implosion.
260
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:14,079
- Chain reaction.
- Boom!
261
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,398
- The explosive acts outwards.
- I know.
262
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,194
We make one
which acts inwards.
263
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,318
Lord.
264
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,238
-Michael...
- Let's call the others.
265
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,397
We'll meet in the canteen.
266
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,958
The machine will be so light
that we won't need a cannon!
267
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,549
Fire, soldier?
268
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,549
It's Michael and Seth.
269
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,315
Sorry to bother you,
but Seth had an idea.
270
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,275
- He was thinking of an orange.
- Jump with both feet on an orange.
271
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,437
- Crush an orange?
- Crush.
272
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,836
Crush...the heart!
273
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,552
My God ! Very pleasant.
274
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,910
- Where are the others?
- In the canteen.
275
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:14,114
- Maybe it can wait.
- No, go ahead.
276
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,358
- I would have lost you anyway.
- THANKS.
277
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,837
And shit!
278
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,357
They're going to free us.
279
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,277
Look at !
280
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:40,997
Teacher.
281
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,239
While looking for a site for our trials,
the bus got stuck.
282
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,910
Last night you discussed
of your work in public.
283
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:00,272
- Yes, an alternative to the canon...
- In public!
284
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,873
- We had a free discussion.
- Exactly, let's talk about it.
285
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,596
I don't want free discussions.
I want partitioning.
286
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,475
That the theorist ignores
what the engineer knows.
287
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,593
- Safety requires it.
- Listen to me.
288
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,316
These boys are pinning
their ideas on the bulletin board.
289
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,990
Ideas are common property.
It's a principle.
290
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,591
If you insist, there will be no more
discussions
291
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,997
because there will be no one left
to discuss!
292
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,271
Neddermeyer's idea
was brilliant: an implosion
293
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,758
producing uniform compression
and a light mass.
294
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,431
More barrel, more velocity, more weight.
Through free discussion.
295
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,393
Let us breathe.
296
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,677
- Bronson!
- General?
297
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,872
Don't tell the waitresses.
298
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,995
Oppie can stand up to the general.
299
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,750
But Groves is the type
always wanting to have the upper hand.
300
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,429
We are afraid that the Germans
are more advanced.
301
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,235
All these restrictions
put us on edge.
302
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,910
It's typical. We are
individuals, not numbers.
303
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:25,159
- It's not in the contract.
- Excuse me if I protest.
304
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:29,831
- Barbed wire, dogs, guards?
- Security badges!
305
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,431
I thought I left this in Italy
at Mussolini!
306
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,191
General, openness is a principle
basic of scientists!
307
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,516
I don't like
that my letters be censored.
308
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,558
Let the FBI question me,
309
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,799
but he contacts my wife,
my family, my neighbors, it’s too much!
310
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,789
We cannot continue to work
under these conditions.
311
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,276
Teacher.
312
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,960
It's a real menagerie.
313
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,474
The mess.
314
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,470
- What do you plan to do?
- I warned you.
315
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,479
Leave the security to me
inside the lab.
316
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,356
Let us do what we want there.
The outside of the lab is for you.
317
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,995
I know they will accept.
318
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,720
I don't like it.
But I'll get used to it.
319
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,877
For now.
320
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,757
The 8th Air Force
321
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,636
launched on Germany
your strongest attack of your war.
322
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,754
Michael, what has become of you?
Good to see you.
323
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,076
I brought Kathleen.
324
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,353
The evening promises to be quite poor
in dream creatures,
325
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,234
I made my arrangements.
326
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:09,552
- She's my favorite nurse.
- Are you going to get together?
327
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,797
No not at all.
328
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,470
In fact, I'm going to send myself a drink.
329
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,035
A well-packed glass.
330
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,877
- As I said...
- It's stuck.
331
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,277
We sometimes feel very alone here.
332
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,600
It's war. Everyone
can't be in Acapulco.
333
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,473
- Name of a dog!
- How are you ?
334
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,159
It's okay, thank you.
335
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:57,070
They are perfect.
Another minute, they were burning.
336
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,390
I put this in the sink.
337
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,992
- Orange juice?
- Yes, gladly. I'm sorry.
338
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,678
Don't worry.
339
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,872
- We'll have it repaired.
- It's not serious.
340
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,239
I'm sure
that we will be allies.
341
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,558
We seek to seduce
the same man.
342
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,439
Is there a Mrs. Groves?
343
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:37,159
Yes. And she has the courage
to stay in the background.
344
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:42,036
Some men have a purpose
on earth, Mrs. Oppenheimer.
345
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,314
A good wife recognizes this
and just makes things easier.
346
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,234
You read my theory
on degenerate matter?
347
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,000
It did not generate much interest.
348
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,109
What will we find
at the end of the tunnel, Michael?
349
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,119
- A Martini.
- Probably.
350
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:27,876
- Operator.
- Berkeley 5558, please.
351
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,876
Hello, Jean.
352
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,469
It's me. I know it's you.
353
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,910
I couldn't wait any longer.
354
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,870
- Sorry. I couldn't...
- I was so scared.
355
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,199
- You don't call. You don't write.
- I can't.
356
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,711
- You can't?
- No, I can't.
357
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,991
- Are you going to come?
- Well...
358
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,555
- When are you going to come?
- John!
359
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,554
We don't talk, we make noise.
360
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,197
How about we exchange grunts?
“I’m running, there’s a war to be won.”
361
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,870
I only suffer with you.
362
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,835
John, listen to me.
You need to understand, please.
363
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,193
Yes ?
364
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,316
- It won't be long.
- I hope so for you.
365
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,876
Waking up at 2 a.m.
366
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,035
I wanted to show you this
without delay.
367
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,550
She cooks it.
I know the method.
368
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,513
These grunts may be code.
369
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,472
The decipherer says no.
370
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,718
- Who is this woman?
- Jean Tatlock.
371
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,039
- A notorious communist.
- Give me a report on his past.
372
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,916
I must be missing some details
sur ce brave professeur.
373
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,077
- Find them for me.
- Yes.
374
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,591
Oppenheimer's role
in this project will have to be reviewed.
375
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,918
Prof. Oppenheimer is this project.
376
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,478
Does it not represent
an unacceptable risk?
377
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,672
No ! The risk is failure.
378
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,558
I know if he's with her
he is not with us.
379
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,349
Maybe it's time
to tighten the screws on him.
380
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,794
- May I ask how?
- No, colonel.
381
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,916
- Compression is not uniform.
- Wait.
382
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,715
A thinner partition
would increase the compression?
383
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,914
- Seth, the answer must be there.
- The implosion may be a dead end.
384
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,997
- Shall we do it again?
- Yes.
385
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,556
- It's an excuse not to think.
- We're getting ready.
386
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,834
Ready! Replace the loads!
387
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,960
Replace the loads!
388
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,356
We're ready, let's go!
389
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,597
Quickly !
390
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,235
Hurry up ! Come on !
391
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,432
Nerve! To the left!
392
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,873
Canyon at Los Alamos.
393
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,029
Answer, Los Alamos.
Canyon at Los Alamos.
394
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,995
Answer, Los Alamos. Answer.
395
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,510
- The detonator has gone off!
- Back off! They are mounted in series!
396
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,792
Go away !
397
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,835
- No, Oppie.
- Shit !
398
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,311
Calm down, old man.
399
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,559
Get in the ambulance,
I will examine you in the hospital.
400
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,958
What are you playing around here?
401
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,196
Come on, get started!
402
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,071
Did they teach you that in high school?
403
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,271
You took a risk.
404
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,632
I shot the guy without thinking.
405
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,196
- By instinct.
- Instinct?
406
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,757
In this war I wonder,
407
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,635
if we save a man by instinct,
by what do we kill others?
408
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,797
By instinct too?
409
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,117
You sound like my father.
410
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,119
- For what ? What is he like?
- My father?
411
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,037
He is a pastor,
412
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,077
in Jackson, Illinois.
413
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,750
I have an older brother, Jimmy.
He is a soldier.
414
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,957
My mother is dead.
415
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,596
It must upset him
that I am not at the front.
416
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,234
For what ?
417
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,397
Jackson is a small town.
418
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,356
He said, “Where are you going?” I said: “B.P. 1663
Santa Fe, New Mexico.”
419
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,551
It didn't excite him.
420
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,958
And he said: "If you are not a soldier,
be the best scientist.”
421
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,996
Are you the best?
422
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,157
I was in Chicago.
423
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:39,992
These guys are so brilliant.
Sometimes I think I'm losing my footing.
424
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,592
But I will assume
what they will ask me.
425
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,757
But do you know how to dance?
426
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,917
Pardon ?
427
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,713
Do you know how to dance?
428
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,117
- Yes.
- Well, go ahead.
429
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,756
- Seriously ?
- We don't assume?
430
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,757
Very pretty.
431
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,630
- Something like that.
- Alright !
432
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,273
Jean Tatlock, graduated in 1932.
433
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,230
They have an affair
before Oppenheimer married.
434
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:13,196
They see each other intermittently
until 1942, then it started again.
435
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,359
A friend said: "His wife is his
ambition and Tatlock his conscience."
436
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,679
She introduced him to anti-fascists,
anti-Francoists
437
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,030
and notorious communists.
438
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:26,993
Slowly, gas.
439
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,273
The colonel goes on a mission.
He must live.
440
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,438
Oppenheimer may be a victim
of blackmail.
441
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:39,191
- I must insist that he be suspended.
- Don't do anything about it. Relax.
442
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,871
To lead a man
in one direction,
443
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,196
we don't pull it by the nose.
444
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,789
We are blocking our options.
445
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,957
Simple as a truck.
446
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,077
We are at the start of the 9th round.
447
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,671
Scientists have a sleeve
ahead of the Army.
448
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,838
Dugan is batting.
Merriman throws.
449
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,071
Touched.
450
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,636
Dugan fights hard.
451
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,435
Good throw.
H slides to 2nd base.
452
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,074
Yes?
453
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,553
Yes !
454
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,117
Bad time?
455
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,757
Velocity always asks us
a problem.
456
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,836
Who is the chick
who do you frequent?
457
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,436
- What ?
- Should I tell you?
458
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,996
I found out from someone
who owed me a favor.
459
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,194
But if we gave this information
to the wrong person?
460
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,710
It would be the end of your career.
461
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:01,593
The end of this project.
462
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,110
I don't understand you.
463
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,393
You take yourself for
a sort of bohemian, I imagine.
464
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,160
Trap.
465
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,556
I didn't expect
to be trapped like that.
466
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,591
Great run to 1st base.
467
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,589
Professor, can I help you?
468
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,476
And me in all this?
469
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:40,595
It hurts her! It reflects on me
and my ability to choose men.
470
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,475
I was dating this woman
long before this project.
471
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:47,072
Never mind.
472
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,114
I don't like the idea of being sunk
by this affair.
473
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,430
I care about her.
474
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,711
She's a communist.
475
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:03,197
A communist.
476
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,869
It would already have been scandalous
477
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,436
if she was a young girl from Indiana.
478
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,677
She has her PC card.
479
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:17,159
And your classified top secret work...
Should I draw you a drawing?
480
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,113
Pick up that phone
and say goodbye to him!
481
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,039
Long throw...
482
00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:26,471
She's outside!
Home run for Merriman.
483
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,554
A home run!
484
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,436
- It's okay, Bronson, we will survive.
- GOOD.
485
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,839
Up to you.
486
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,598
Regis, next time, look up!
487
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,197
We cheer the hero.
488
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,954
The paper pushers beat the soldiers.
489
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,040
"The waters are quickly stagnating
to remain stagnant."
490
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,711
SAN FRANCISCO JANUARY 1944
491
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,680
Robert!
492
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,829
-Frank.
- Good to see you, brother.
493
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:02,789
- Are they following us or what?
- I almost asked you for your papers.
494
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,550
- Ridiculous.
- Let's go as quickly as possible.
495
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,117
They want the names
496
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,597
from all supporters
communists that I know.
497
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,953
They monitor my movements.
And probably my phone.
498
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,471
- Why do you stay?
- There is a constraint.
499
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,513
On part of my life at least.
500
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:35,315
Sorry, I didn't have
your message until 5 p.m.
501
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:40,276
I was in the hospital.
It put me in a state...
502
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,997
- You look great.
- And you so serious. For what ?
503
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:49,278
I have very little time.
I'm leaving again this evening.
504
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,869
This evening ?
I made a dinner.
505
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,359
It's not about dinner, Jean.
506
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,756
I didn't want
talk to you about it on the phone.
507
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,395
That's why I'm here.
508
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,915
Is it because of your job?
509
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,872
Alright.
510
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,913
And we cut to the chase
before the cocktails.
511
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,913
Jeans ?
512
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,439
Stay.
Stay tonight.
513
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,274
Please.
514
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,039
Please.
515
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,433
Please.
516
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,631
Please.
517
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,877
You are working on a bad thing,
is that it?
518
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:40,314
- And you can't tell me about it.
- Because it's a secret.
519
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,478
Name a good thing
which is secret.
520
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,274
We are good.
521
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,713
We stopped being
when you got married.
522
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,912
Leave me for something
that I can understand.
523
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:58,876
Your wife, your son, your conscience.
Something alive.
524
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,674
Not for what you have to hide.
525
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,837
Robert...
526
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,554
Oh, Robert,
I dreamed that you were gone.
527
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,959
So that was why,
your silence.
528
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,629
No letters, no messages.
529
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,834
I thought it was me.
My fault.
530
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,920
- Jean, I told you that...
- You didn't actually say anything...
531
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,835
What are you working on that is so important?
532
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,829
It's important,
don't be so arrogant.
533
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,035
It's arrogance
to want to be near you,
534
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:18,675
to want to understand?
535
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:23,117
This is the man I loved.
536
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,995
I loved his dreams,
his vision that he could not prove.
537
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,669
I loved his kindness.
538
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,589
Through him I saw
the world become a better place.
539
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,679
And if he is dead,
I refuse to live.
540
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,032
The world is...different.
541
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,672
It's not what we wanted.
That's all.
542
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,909
You meant so much to me.
543
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,957
Such.
544
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,956
She told me that I had
a destructive inclination.
545
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,990
That I had lost my faith.
546
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,157
Is she wrong?
547
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,113
No, she's not wrong.
548
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:34,312
After the war I will spend six months
in the desert, with no deadlines to meet.
549
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,840
Nothing.
550
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,114
Thanks, Frank.
551
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,314
- He kissed his brother.
- He must be a communist.
552
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,438
Look, it's crooked.
It had to be flattened.
553
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:15,032
Implosion is just an empty dream.
Sorry for thinking about that.
554
00:47:15,240 --> 00:47:17,231
I won't make it.
555
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,320
I must first focus
shock waves.
556
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,400
- I'm out of ideas!
- It's an excuse not to think.
557
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,069
If necessary I will replace you.
558
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,398
- We need you urgently in the lab.
- Oppie!
559
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,557
You said it, Seth.
Focus.
560
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,469
Someone will be able to focus
an explosive shock wave.
561
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,354
- Keep working.
- Damn it!
562
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,559
It's Oppie who will implode
if he doesn't calm down.
563
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,157
Enter.
564
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,918
The good news: abundance
neutrons in the new plutonium,
565
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,715
but the fission rate
spontaneous is way too high.
566
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:20,790
Reacting too quickly will abort.
No explosion.
567
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,311
- Who did the calculations?
- Segre.
568
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,512
- Himself?
- Segre himself.
569
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:33,274
Plutonium is a problem,
which brings us back to uranium 235.
570
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:39,112
But Oakridge cannot provide
the quantities. So back to the implosion.
571
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:44,269
However, Neddermeyer is not moving forward
with the implosion.
572
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,831
A delay is unthinkable.
573
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,034
How are you, Oppie?
574
00:48:53,240 --> 00:48:55,231
You have a deadline to meet.
575
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,399
I invested a billion dollars
on you. It's not nothing.
576
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,877
What I want to hear from you,
it's "At your command."
577
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,233
I give this project 26 hours a day,
8 days a week.
578
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,397
I gave up everything.
579
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,672
Don't tell me that.
I refuse to listen to this.
580
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:17,750
I gave up everything.
You know what I'm talking about.
581
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,316
I don't care
that travel be limited.
582
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,036
It was necessary to have a face-to-face meeting,
it took place.
583
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,350
Latest news from the front.
584
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,871
The American army
broke through in France
585
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:40,119
and pushes back the Germans
towards their own borders.
586
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:46,555
But the Germans are preparing
a massive counterattack.
587
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,718
- Who is it ?
- Experts in explosives.
588
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,992
Neddermeyer gave up
to its implosion,
589
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:57,114
but not Oppie who appealed
to two experts.
590
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,834
We continue our isolated struggle.
591
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,953
Sometimes the war seems far away.
592
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,037
Shall I drop you off, Doc?
593
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:14,791
How long have you had a license?
594
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,876
- Did you come to see the guys play?
- Yes.
595
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:23,039
Sorry, I won't be able to go
at the movies this evening.
596
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:27,473
But I'll join you later
for a drink.
597
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,274
- Does that suit you?
- Perfect.
598
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,471
Candy.
599
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:38,517
I promised the monkey to him
learn the swing. It's better.
600
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,191
Michael, what's wrong?
601
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,115
- Do you see him often?
- Yes, I like him.
602
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,399
Are you jealous?
603
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,394
Yes.
604
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,434
Well,
do something.
605
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,237
I don't agree.
606
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:20,674
The White House will not give
figures only after the war.
607
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:25,431
You're hard to reach, Groves.
So I come with my problem.
608
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,393
You see grooves
on this tire? I don't.
609
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,558
Yet my men
roll with it.
610
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,435
I don't know in what lame case
you screwed up.
611
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,109
You're treading on my toes.
612
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,870
To transport equipment,
I need trucks.
613
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,276
These trucks are driving
on tires.
614
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,996
When they are immobilized
due to lack of tires, I see red.
615
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,192
When I find out it's your fault,
I have murderous urges.
616
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,516
- We must...
- No.
617
00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:56,599
I have a triple priority
of the White House.
618
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,791
We need the product.
619
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,834
You must know that you are causing
the anger of a lot of people.
620
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:10,319
Something else. Look,
I have two. And you one.
621
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:14,878
At the end of the war,
it will count.
622
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,996
I hope you understand me.
623
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:24,832
I advise you by all the saints
to armor your ass!
624
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,597
- Well, Bronson.
- General?
625
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,758
It's all about sex.
626
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,236
We kick it or we lick it.
627
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,670
It comes down to this.
628
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:50,511
Excuse my language,
but I'm on the razor's edge.
629
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:53,553
These big heads
would do well to succeed,
630
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,752
otherwise, I'm a corpse on borrowed time.
631
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,315
Yes, general.
632
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,114
- What is this ?
- I don't know.
633
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,472
- My God !
- Is this a stop?
634
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,274
There are no planned stops here.
635
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,230
Message for General Groves.
636
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,670
I'll see what the problem is.
637
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,837
Message for General Groves.
638
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,037
- Message for General Groves.
- This way.
639
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,670
General Groves, this is from Germany.
640
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,633
We wired to stop the train.
641
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,195
Excuse me, gentlemen.
642
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,431
- Colonel.
- General ?
643
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,678
Put it in my trunk.
Don't take it out without my permission.
644
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,837
THE MOTHER HAS NO BABY
645
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,317
This means that the Germans
don't have the bomb.
646
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,434
Is it wise to ignore this?
647
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:31,919
You tell me, Colonel.
It's tricky.
648
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:37,431
I think of my intellectuals,
my big heads. The Jewish element.
649
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:42,350
Take Hitler out of the equation,
goodbye motivation.
650
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,074
Why risk it?
651
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,875
We can give this country
the biggest stick on the course.
652
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,230
I'm going to work on it.
653
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,274
I'll tell you something else
about our group.
654
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:59,075
Let them get closer to the solution
and they will go to the end.
655
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,636
- They're not close enough yet.
- Good, general.
656
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,400
LOS ALAMOS APRIL 1945
3 MONTHS BEFORE DEADLINE
657
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,116
These explosive corners
are integrated into the shell.
658
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:21,269
They reverberate the shock waves
like a lens the light.
659
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,477
For your information,
660
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:28,709
the idea was applied in England
on armor-piercing shells.
661
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,389
If it works, we'll be again
on time.
662
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:37,150
- Attention !
- Be careful, behind.
663
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:08,152
We never used an explosive
as a precision tool.
664
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:14,549
It's simple. From convex,
the shock wave becomes concave.
665
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:18,719
- Holy orange, huh, Oppie?
- After the explosion, Seth.
666
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,037
Professor Oppenheimer?
667
00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:27,675
A letter for you.
668
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,599
- It's important.
- THANKS.
669
00:56:47,240 --> 00:56:51,837
JEAN TATLOCK COMMITTED SUICIDE
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 5, 1945.
670
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,557
Good luck.
671
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,515
It's a win for compression!
672
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,917
We succeeded! We were right!
673
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,191
Now it's playable.
674
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,357
Seth, come here!
675
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,517
Next stop: implosion!
676
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,117
Can I come in?
677
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:27,877
Where is he?
678
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,037
Behind the house.
679
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,870
Sitting in the sun under a blanket.
680
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,640
Pampering a guilty cock
no doubt.
681
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,033
No need to be vulgar.
682
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,912
No words will reach vulgarity
of what you make.
683
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:55,117
Vulgar or not,
I need it to succeed.
684
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,995
He owes it to his country.
He owes it to himself.
685
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,558
He is the best.
He must have what he wants.
686
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:07,230
Don't try to convince me.
You don't need me.
687
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:11,911
And your sermon
about the “good wife”, I know.
688
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,476
Why did you put up with her?
so long?
689
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:21,119
Because he is the best
and he must have what he wants.
690
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,875
I don't know how to live alone.
Some are like that.
691
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,869
Everyone defends
his territory in his own way.
692
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:41,593
Concha, you're late.
I said 2 hours.
693
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,357
I'm sorry.
694
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:57,637
I regret that we put
all this time to notify you.
695
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,832
The traffic jams of censorship.
696
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,197
You know...
697
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:10,189
We are not responsible
of those who refuse to live.
698
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,914
It's impossible, inconceivable.
699
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,238
I can't work on this anymore.
700
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:25,710
I don't want it anymore.
701
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,877
And I don't need it.
702
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,720
Germany is finished.
703
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,355
Question of time.
They will not succeed.
704
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,994
- Are you sure?
- I refuse to hear your arguments.
705
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,113
I know everything is a risk.
706
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,233
That the war is over
when it is finished.
707
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,353
Let them spray London with bombs.
708
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,916
That Germany is desperate
and resourceful.
709
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:57,593
That she can spray England
radioactive substances.
710
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:02,920
In fact, they are not worth us.
If ?
711
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,395
My head is full of doubts.
712
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:20,198
I am asked to juggle
with too many balls.
713
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:26,758
When I am like this,
I kneel and pray.
714
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,155
This is how I find my certainties.
715
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:36,231
If this escapes you
and others succeed,
716
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:43,199
you will no longer have to count the balls,
my friend.
717
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,553
If you need a flame,
find it.
718
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,150
Anywhere.
719
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,677
Finally some good news.
720
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,510
Enough uranium
starts arriving from Oakridge.
721
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,076
But as brilliant as it is,
Oppie is showing signs of fatigue.
722
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,278
We all depend on him.
723
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,517
He is our inspiration.
724
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:17,156
If it broke, everything would collapse.
725
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,596
Beautiful, isn't it, Michael?
Just think
726
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,156
only a few kilometers closer
or further from the sun,
727
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,431
there would be nothing.
728
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,520
A mass of gas or ice
which no one would benefit from.
729
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:35,315
Odi and amo. “I hate and I love.”
Catullus. Do you know?
730
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:37,636
No.
731
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,560
"I hate and I love. You ask
why? I don't know.
732
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:47,519
"I feel hatred and love
and I am tortured by it.”
733
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:52,478
Groves may be right.
Let's banish the thought forever.
734
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,672
Michael, we need to test
critical mass.
735
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:03,635
- Will you help us?
- Of course.
736
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,069
I want to show you something.
737
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:27,476
Are you coming to see our toy?
738
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:33,119
This is what we call
tickle the dragon's tail.
739
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:38,759
A 5 x 15 cm uranium bar
will be pulled by this weight.
740
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:44,192
She leaves here then speeds up
at 10 m per second squared.
741
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:46,789
It passes between these uranium bricks
742
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:51,119
and in a fraction of a second,
we get a chain reaction.
743
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:56,076
We won't do better
like an atomic explosion in this lab.
744
01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:00,478
Determine the exact quantity
of uranium is essential.
745
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:05,197
Ten years ago, I imagined
barely used. Dix ans.
746
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,916
Each molecule extracted from the air,
one by one.
747
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,078
Hello ?
748
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:16,954
What ?
749
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:31,914
I have the honor to speak on behalf
of 5 million victorious fighters.
750
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,511
With women
who assisted them so well,
751
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:40,430
they constitute the Expeditionary Force
Ally who liberated Europe.
752
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:45,077
They captured or destroyed
more numerous armies
753
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,398
and crossed the hundreds
of kilometers
754
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,991
which separate Cherbourg from Lubeck,
Leipzig and Munich.
755
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:56,592
These successes were not achieved
without sacrifice.
756
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:01,078
On these battlefields,
80,000 Americans and as many Allies
757
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,396
lost their lives,
758
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:08,549
so that we can
live under the sun of freedom.
759
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,159
Yeah!
760
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:25,036
- What will we do next?
- We'll start another one.
761
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,518
This is what I like about this job:
the future is guaranteed.
762
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:33,270
We come from a long line
noble predators.
763
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,040
Richard, you are incorrigible.
764
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,198
I'm going to be incorrigible down there.
765
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,471
Come, my beauty.
766
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,631
- How are you ?
- Yes, I am incorrigible.
767
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,555
- What are you writing?
- A sentence that Oppie said.
768
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,115
Go ahead, read it.
769
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,597
"All intelligence comes from
770
01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:02,398
"from a long line
noble predators."
771
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,069
I want to kiss you.
772
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,351
Come closer.
773
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:16,599
Now that we beat Germany
Are we going to go home?
774
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:20,873
- I'm for it.
- It could be, soldier.
775
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:27,719
Your attention, please.
Excuse me.
776
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:32,033
There seems to be a shortage
dancers this evening.
777
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,675
In tribute to our military,
778
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:38,032
I would like to offer them the services
779
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:42,029
of all the intellectuals
from Los Alamos here.
780
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:47,314
And to break the protocol ice,
I will choose the first dancer.
781
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:53,951
General Groves,
782
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,630
will you grant me this dance?
783
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,991
Why not ?
784
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:33,312
- Why do you keep this notebook with you?
- I'm taking notes for my father.
785
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:38,390
The letters would be redacted.
There, I tell him everything.
786
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:40,955
What are you going to write today?
787
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,675
- Apart from the end of the war?
- Yes.
788
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,118
That I met a girl...
789
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,429
Did I kiss you earlier?
790
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,631
Come down from your clouds,
gentlemen.
791
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:13,076
More discreet the whispers,
gentlemen.
792
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:16,830
I see some dancing...too tight.
793
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,670
I don't like it.
794
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:27,349
I see... breasts
in the sector.
795
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,552
What can lead
to pregnancies.
796
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:36,156
Anyone who enters
in action or erection,
797
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,239
will have to file his willy with the FBI.
798
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,996
They're having fun, that's good.
They have the right to it.
799
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,795
- Don't let them think it's over.
- It's not over yet?
800
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,476
But then what are we celebrating?
801
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:02,036
Notre travail pourrait
serve something else.
802
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:05,119
- Fascism is dead.
- In Europe.
803
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,392
Do you think the Japanese
shoot squirrels?
804
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:12,070
No, and that's not the question.
805
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,157
Where is the question?
806
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:18,593
They don't have the technology,
they are incapable of succeeding.
807
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,792
If we don't need it,
why make it?
808
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,039
I'll show you something.
809
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:30,233
The largest collection
of nothingness in the world.
810
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:35,878
Make them work
and you have an entity.
811
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,560
An irresistible entity...
812
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,717
by his threat alone.
813
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,070
Our property.
814
01:09:46,480 --> 01:09:50,189
Sometimes, standing there,
815
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:55,839
I ask myself the question: we work
on them or them on us?
816
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,516
Give them dignity, professor.
817
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,155
Then we'll talk...
818
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:04,397
what to do...
819
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,075
and what they imply.
820
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:18,079
Continue ?
Yes / No
821
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,237
What time is it?
822
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:40,076
Even in my sleep,
dogs grab me by the throat.
823
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,237
Robert?
824
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:46,589
Are you thinking of resigning?
825
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,359
No.
826
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,350
I would be removed from the lists.
They wouldn't understand.
827
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,393
Especially in the current climate.
828
01:10:59,440 --> 01:11:03,035
The machine continues to obsess me.
829
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:07,029
Yes, that's true, but...
830
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,229
if we think beyond,
831
01:11:11,440 --> 01:11:15,399
it is an unlimited reserve of energy.
Think, Kitty.
832
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,513
The force that turns the universe.
833
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:26,438
It's beyond imagination.
And we domesticated it.
834
01:11:28,440 --> 01:11:30,397
A new world.
835
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:40,514
Get 'em, cowboy!
836
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:45,396
TRINITY TEST SITE – June 1945
One month from the deadline
837
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,356
What is going on here?
838
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,916
The cattle destroyed the cables.
Two days wasted.
839
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,075
Nobody thought
to evacuate them from the site?
840
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:13,071
The breeders refused
and the Army stopped negotiating.
841
01:12:17,440 --> 01:12:20,796
- It's total chaos.
- Edward, these estimates...
842
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:26,313
We push, we press. Deadline.
The whole project is in total chaos.
843
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:30,275
We didn't think
consequences, Oppie!
844
01:12:30,480 --> 01:12:34,269
Wilson, we're waiting for the data
of the cyclotron for two weeks.
845
01:12:34,480 --> 01:12:36,471
When will we get them?
846
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,837
Wilson is right.
847
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:45,192
We need to discuss
of what we all think.
848
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:48,392
The argument is abstract, Edward.
849
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:53,800
The matter becomes concrete.
It will affect thousands of lives.
850
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,150
We need to talk about it.
851
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,636
Alright. But not here.
852
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,637
At my place tonight.
853
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,549
We tickle the dragon's tail.
854
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:15,717
Raise the bar.
855
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:20,195
Let's hope that the uranium bar
will not get stuck in the pile.
856
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,791
In which case, we will be
probably all evaporated.
857
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,436
- How much?
- 1.19K.
858
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:30,477
- We're waiting for you.
- The meter is ready.
859
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,320
Whenever you want.
860
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:35,272
Let's go.
861
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:38,960
Let's tickle her.
862
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:47,910
Big explosion.
863
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,634
It looks excellent.
864
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,639
Write down the data. Cigarette break.
865
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,756
Well done.
866
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:10,035
Michael, do you have a moment?
They won't let me in.
867
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:12,517
Are you still going to Chicago?
868
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:15,758
Yes, Frisch can't
bring back the bars.
869
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:18,474
I would like
that you bring something else.
870
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,240
Do you know Leo Szilard and Ralph Lapp?
871
01:14:21,440 --> 01:14:24,273
With twenty other colleagues
from Chicago,
872
01:14:24,480 --> 01:14:28,360
they wrote a petition
against the use of the machine.
873
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:32,633
They worry
possible consequences.
874
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:34,797
Me too.
875
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:40,232
My brother is in the Philippines.
I read the newspapers every day.
876
01:14:40,440 --> 01:14:43,796
I'm not asking you to endorse it.
I haven't read it.
877
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,150
But we should discuss it.
878
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:51,514
Go to Chicago, bring it back.
We will study it and decide for ourselves.
879
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,677
It's not stupid.
880
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:56,030
I will bring it back.
881
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:58,675
- See you later.
- Okay.
882
01:14:59,880 --> 01:15:02,520
How to streamline
premeditated murder?
883
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:07,669
Rubbish! What murder?
This is a war that must be won.
884
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:10,076
We cannot ban a weapon.
885
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,477
The more effective it is,
the more we use it.
886
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:15,990
Gases were banned.
887
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,875
Oppie, speak for us.
The generals will not listen to us.
888
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:23,311
Also speak for the guys who are fighting.
889
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,511
I know what they would say.
890
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:28,678
The Japanese looked for it.
891
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:33,829
- I don't care if they all fry.
- Excuse me a moment.
892
01:15:35,440 --> 01:15:39,911
I blame you for believing
that I ignore a moral argument.
893
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,476
Still awake?
Aren't you supposed to sleep?
894
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:45,637
I don't like to sleep.
895
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,196
We have to do lots of things
that we don't like
896
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,550
to be able to do what we love.
897
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,798
- What is your gift for tomorrow?
- Ride a horse.
898
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:00,871
How will you be able to mount a big
horse if you are not rested?
899
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,755
Are you going to sleep for daddy?
You are a good boy.
900
01:16:06,480 --> 01:16:10,713
WASHINGTON - July 1945
Two weeks from the deadline
901
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,277
It's hot.
902
01:16:14,480 --> 01:16:17,950
We could go to Carlucci's
drink cold coffee.
903
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:21,039
The entire project
begins to fray.
904
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,232
We have always avoided
certain questions.
905
01:16:24,440 --> 01:16:27,796
Now there is a crisis.
906
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,356
- Bronson, stop the car.
- Good, general.
907
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:35,110
- Go pee outside.
- It's a public garden!
908
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:39,393
So go pick some flowers.
I want to scream!
909
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,079
It's a crisis.
A crisis of conscience.
910
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:54,276
Good. I don't yell.
911
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,277
I'm not even angry.
912
01:16:57,480 --> 01:17:00,120
I am stunned.
913
01:17:01,480 --> 01:17:05,678
You want to stay there,
to polish your conscience,
914
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:11,193
when we could end the war
by striking a big blow?
915
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,357
Crisis of conscience, huh?
916
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:15,949
Very good, I offer it to you.
917
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,197
Bathe in it.
918
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,357
Macerate in it.
919
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:25,794
After which, tell me if you will
deliver, finish the job.
920
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,039
Tell me how to explain
to the Senate Committee
921
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:35,360
the expenditure of 2 billion dollars
for a stillborn show.
922
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,233
Crisis of conscience?
923
01:17:37,440 --> 01:17:41,752
You have a task:
deliver the bomb to me. Give it to me!
924
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:47,319
Germany experienced atrocities
because people weren't talking.
925
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:51,718
We blamed them despite
the danger they were in.
926
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:56,198
But it's not dangerous
for us to speak.
927
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,916
Even without approving
this petition, Michael,
928
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,396
admit
that it must be discussed.
929
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:05,353
- Yes, professor.
- Well done, Michael.
930
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:07,551
Glad to see you again.
931
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,395
- It just came in on cable.
- What ?
932
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:42,355
The Japanese are probing us
for a surrender. Via the Russians.
933
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:46,030
What surrender?
Unconditional?
934
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:50,632
- Not according to my sources. No.
- GOOD. Nobody will believe it.
935
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:53,995
- Sir ?
- Nothing.
936
01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:56,949
Move forward. So far.
937
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:03,040
Mr. Minister. A brutal question.
938
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:06,551
Do you think with the President
that the Russians
939
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:10,355
will enter Japan
in case of invasion?
940
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:13,439
It won't be for nothing.
941
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:16,712
The Russians want Manchuria
and Sakhalin.
942
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:22,598
I can deliver Japan to the President.
No invasion, no arrangements.
943
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:26,873
Do you guarantee it? Some
of your scientists are agitated.
944
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:30,357
They seek to see
the President.
945
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:33,951
Je l'ignorais.
I'll take care of it.
946
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:37,869
- GOOD. I'm counting on you, general.
- Mr. Minister.
947
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:40,071
Good evening.
948
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,478
Panton?
949
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,949
Prof. Oppenheimer held,
on three occasions, meetings
950
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:54,518
with suspicious people,
communists or others.
951
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,712
- He only gave us a name. Exact ?
- Yes.
952
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:00,799
Insist on having the others.
953
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:05,198
- He needs a wake-up call.
- Good, general.
954
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:15,471
- I was told you were here.
- Captain Panton called me.
955
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:19,639
Still security.
I'm tired of being harassed!
956
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:25,279
- It was a closed case!
- Nothing is ever filed with you.
957
01:20:25,480 --> 01:20:29,439
I'll try to suffocate him.
This won't help.
958
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:32,473
- What is this ?
- A petition.
959
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:37,311
Your friends from Chicago
maneuver to see the President.
960
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:42,754
They will never get there.
Are you aware?
961
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:47,836
In principle, yes.
962
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:51,032
Demonstrate
of the machine without using it.
963
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:53,880
Can you dissuade them?
964
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:57,232
Can you stop this?
965
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,798
My lunch is getting cold up there.
966
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,753
Don't let these zozos
trouble you.
967
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:10,074
Robert, you are this close to becoming
the man who won the war.
968
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:14,797
We cannot ignore what they have to say
Chicago luminaries.
969
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,880
They are looking for an opportunity
to discuss this demonstration.
970
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,999
What is his name? Zi-lard...
971
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,430
-Szilard.
- Sitting in the bathtub.
972
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:28,952
I should have drowned that bastard
the first day!
973
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:32,755
Why not do
a demonstration?
974
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:37,875
Char a desert atoll
and dictate your terms to the Japanese.
975
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,594
Stupidity! It won't work.
976
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,633
They are suicide bombers. All.
977
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,953
Your family is rich.
That explains everything.
978
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,117
- What ?
- Your optimism.
979
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:55,598
Your faith in human nature.
I've never had one. Silver.
980
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:57,757
It made me realistic.
981
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:04,156
The idea should be submitted
to the President.
982
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,719
Where do you look for these ideas?
983
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:14,154
Our security service has the right
to know where these ideas come from.
984
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,874
Demonstrations, work stoppages...
985
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,516
share with other countries.
986
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:26,238
You will have difficulty proving
that these ideas come from Chicago.
987
01:22:26,440 --> 01:22:30,274
- They are foreign, subversive.
- Elles sont morales !
988
01:22:31,440 --> 01:22:33,590
Was Pearl Harbor moral?
989
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,030
Poland, Munich, was it moral?
990
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,711
The Death March in Bataan?
Was it moral?
991
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:42,877
Rubbish!
992
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:44,639
Bullshit demonstration.
993
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:50,556
We must show the enemy,
as hard as possible,
994
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:54,515
that we play
the same game as him.
995
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:59,396
Tomorrow the Committee
will vote on this demonstration.
996
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:04,310
A notice will be sent to the President.
Listen carefully.
997
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:10,234
In your own interest...
Make the right choice.
998
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:14,557
You are with us
or against us.
999
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:19,118
Ernest, how are you?
Let me introduce you to Professor Oppenheimer.
1000
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:23,473
It seems that you are helping us
1001
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:27,275
to chase these restrained monkeys
of their trees.
1002
01:23:27,480 --> 01:23:30,040
My guys will be grateful to you.
1003
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:33,039
Happy to shake your hand.
And thank you.
1004
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:37,552
- I'll shake your hand too.
- Good to see you.
1005
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:45,118
Have you heard them?
1006
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:50,076
Keep that in mind.
We will be grateful to you, soldier.
1007
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:36,279
"We are in a situation
unprecedented that war cannot resolve.
1008
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:40,432
"Petition
to the President of the United States.
1009
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:46,033
"Discoveries unknown to the people
could affect its future."
1010
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:48,231
The Russians are our allies.
1011
01:24:48,440 --> 01:24:52,798
If we dump her without warning them
they can react very badly.
1012
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:57,949
The Japanese are on their knees.
Suicide bombers are hot air.
1013
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:02,438
They're just as scared of us
than we of them.
1014
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:08,397
The war drove men from
two camps to deny the human race.
1015
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:11,956
- That won't be our case, I hope.
- I approve.
1016
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:14,800
The blockade will finish off Japan
this fall.
1017
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,276
Maybe even before.
1018
01:25:17,480 --> 01:25:21,075
This machine is not the honorable way
to win a war.
1019
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,430
I learned to fight with honor.
1020
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:27,190
If Custer had machine guns,
1021
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:31,596
his story would be quite different.
1022
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:34,996
If you maintain the project,
1023
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:38,556
and especially if you launch the machine
without warning,
1024
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:44,473
I will be forced, for my part,
to resign from the Army.
1025
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:48,677
Excuse me, gentlemen.
1026
01:25:55,920 --> 01:26:01,711
By the way, what is the opinion of the Committee
about the demonstration?
1027
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:07,280
If we accepted a demonstration
1028
01:26:07,480 --> 01:26:12,998
in front of Japanese observers
and that it failed,
1029
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:17,034
we could no longer get
the surrender of Japan.
1030
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:20,119
And we would miss
of fissile material.
1031
01:26:22,440 --> 01:26:27,196
The release of the machine
has always been part of the project.
1032
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:31,359
This is therefore the opinion that I should
transmit to the President?
1033
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:33,398
Yes, sir.
1034
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:17,830
Bob, welcome to Trinity.
1035
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,111
- So.
- Do I wear one?
1036
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:21,674
Bon Voyage 7
1037
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,269
- Are you the officer in charge?
- Yes.
1038
01:27:27,480 --> 01:27:29,118
It's for you.
1039
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:33,393
The University of California delivers
a plutonium heart
1040
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:36,752
intended for a nuclear device
of the US Army.
1041
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:40,112
It's an invoice
of 2 billion dollars.
1042
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,870
And here's what the price includes.
1043
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:48,957
The initiator...
1044
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,750
And the other half.
1045
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:58,960
Just collide them violently.
1046
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,357
Let's start the final edit.
1047
01:28:09,480 --> 01:28:12,120
Okay, Mr. Merriman.
1048
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:25,517
You are very quiet.
1049
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,436
Is it nearing the end of your work?
1050
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:33,551
Yes.
1051
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:37,230
I feel the tension
in everyone.
1052
01:28:37,440 --> 01:28:39,795
There's something going on here.
1053
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,191
And it hypnotizes you all, right?
1054
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,357
Yes.
1055
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:51,076
We have big requests
sleeping pills and aspirin.
1056
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:54,716
There is something else
than work.
1057
01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:01,510
- I know you can't talk about it.
- I can't.
1058
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:04,597
Then talk to Professor Oppenheimer.
1059
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:09,271
If anyone knows the question
it's him.
1060
01:29:09,480 --> 01:29:11,198
Okay.
1061
01:29:17,480 --> 01:29:19,437
Touch me.
1062
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:37,037
Naked.
1063
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:40,153
Isn't that a nice word?
1064
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:44,557
This night.
1065
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:47,430
I want to make love.
1066
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:52,476
And I want a future.
1067
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,115
This is what I want the most.
1068
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:57,516
For you and me.
1069
01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:59,870
Me too.
1070
01:30:02,480 --> 01:30:05,677
- But anyway, George!
- He's stung.
1071
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:07,837
It must be the mold.
1072
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:11,715
I am not an expert in explosives,
but that is unacceptable!
1073
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:13,877
Manual turning is required.
1074
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:18,631
You should have done a shoot
manual before making me come!
1075
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:23,038
- Michael, what are you doing here?
- From Szilard to Chicago.
1076
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:25,197
I read it on the train.
1077
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:30,193
- What do you think?
- That disconcerted me.
1078
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:33,518
Are we never going to discuss it?
1079
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:35,757
Between us?
1080
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:37,917
Shall we continue?
1081
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:40,680
Nobody stopped.
1082
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:45,078
We solve a technical problem
to make a machine.
1083
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,476
We are not responsible
of its use.
1084
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:50,593
Oppie, this is for you.
1085
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:53,872
Bethe has the numbers corrected.
1086
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:03,750
Leave me this paper.
1087
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:07,919
We are waiting for the initiator.
We need your results.
1088
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:10,953
- All right ?
- All right.
1089
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:31,594
Ready?
1090
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:35,350
- Counter in place.
- Here we go.
1091
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:55,951
21.
1092
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:04,151
29.
1093
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:15,557
31.
1094
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:20,076
38.
1095
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:24,116
Do you notice? 40.
Everyone back, quickly!
1096
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:32,199
Behind the wall!
1097
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,830
Turn off!
1098
01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:55,593
Don't move! Nobody moves!
1099
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:00,470
Shit !
1100
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:02,671
Throw away anything metallic.
1101
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:06,515
Mark your positions
and go out.
1102
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:11,795
This incident never happened.
1103
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:36,679
Everyone should get away with it.
1104
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:40,591
Except me.
1105
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,189
I am dead.
1106
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:08,711
Doctor! I'm looking for you everywhere.
We have a problem.
1107
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:10,877
- Bad allergy.
- When ?
1108
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:13,151
- An hour ago.
- Who ?
1109
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:15,351
- Mr. Merriman.
-Michael?
1110
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:18,518
- Yes.
- Oh shit !
1111
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:20,677
Let's go.
1112
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:23,269
- Quick, let's go!
- At your orders!
1113
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:37,109
This way.
1114
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:41,996
-Michael, what's going on?
- Nothing, it's okay.
1115
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:46,116
- Doctor, how much did he take?
- More than 1000 rads.
1116
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:51,599
- Richard, what's going on?
- We have the situation in hand.
1117
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:55,395
-Stephen, what's going on?
- Excuse me.
1118
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:59,878
There are no patients here.
No one should know.
1119
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:03,232
What happened?
1120
01:35:03,440 --> 01:35:07,320
This room will be condemned.
Come with me.
1121
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:19,318
Get out of there!
1122
01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:26,315
These are the detonation circuits.
1123
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:28,511
I don't know.
1124
01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:31,109
I need 24 more hours.
1125
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:34,119
I think so, but I'm not sure.
1126
01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:35,913
I said one more day.
1127
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:38,589
I need one more day!
1128
01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:45,118
No, Merriman brought me back
a copy from Chicago.
1129
01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:47,916
Some physicists signed it.
1130
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:49,474
Siphoned coconuts!
1131
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:53,639
When this thing works,
I'll throw it at Chicago!
1132
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:59,472
And you, can you hear me? Finish
This damn thing is an order.
1133
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:03,880
I'm busy.
1134
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:07,038
But I have a plane,
I will be present.
1135
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:10,039
I turn my back
and it escapes me.
1136
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:13,437
Now he's talking to me about postponement.
1137
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,991
- Do we have the agreement to go to Washington?
- Yes.
1138
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:28,592
"Truman arrives Potsdam tomorrow
for conference with Stalin.
1139
01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:31,155
“Give Trinity test results.”
1140
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:33,556
Stalin will eat Truman alive.
1141
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:36,673
- Unless...
- Yes, unless.
1142
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:40,919
Unless we give
to the President a striking argument.
1143
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:44,158
And believe me,
it will not be an adjournment.
1144
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:52,637
Oh my God.
1145
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:54,717
So close to the goal.
1146
01:37:42,440 --> 01:37:45,193
Take it down slowly.
1147
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:52,396
His heart seems dilated,
full of fluid.
1148
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:53,920
- Radiation?
- Probably.
1149
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:56,270
It doubled in size overnight.
1150
01:37:56,480 --> 01:37:58,790
If this continues, the heart will be drowned.
1151
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,310
- Is he lucid?
- At times.
1152
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,911
Large brain tumescence
due to radiation.
1153
01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:09,199
- And then?
- I don't know. No idea.
1154
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:13,359
No human being has received
such a dose of radiation.
1155
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:19,192
- It burns from the inside.
- Miss, don't come in .
1156
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:22,040
Excuse me.
1157
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:29,998
We do everything we can for him.
1158
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,157
Absolutely everything.
1159
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,751
It's no use
to eat away your blood.
1160
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:38,952
- Go and rest.
- I can't.
1161
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:38,556
- Holy orange, huh, Oppie?
- Yes.
1162
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:54,389
Attention !
1163
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,037
Hornig? Hornig!
1164
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:01,517
Everything is fine ! The other security holds.
1165
01:40:04,200 --> 01:40:06,589
Who still wants a martini?
1166
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:12,394
- How does it look?
- Not great.
1167
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:17,879
There is risk of thunderstorms
the next five days.
1168
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:43,110
- Why didn't someone tell me?
- Panic.
1169
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:45,436
- How is he?
- Difficult to say.
1170
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:49,918
- I want to see him.
- Visits are not allowed.
1171
01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:52,589
Security. It's tricky.
1172
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:56,191
He's a solid guy.
He'll get through it.
1173
01:40:57,200 --> 01:40:59,271
Schoenfield, what is he like?
1174
01:40:59,480 --> 01:41:02,279
- Is he conscious?
- Intermittently.
1175
01:41:02,480 --> 01:41:06,439
He asked if you had read
the Chicago petition.
1176
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:08,597
Yes, I read it.
1177
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,474
Is that all?
1178
01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:15,036
"Yes, I read it,
and now I wash my hands of it”?
1179
01:41:15,240 --> 01:41:20,952
I have a friend there, burned to death.
He thought you knew everything.
1180
01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:25,472
You really know
what is going on here?
1181
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:27,671
What are you trying to demonstrate?
1182
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:30,952
Two years of my life,
1183
01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:35,358
I have undergone your security measures,
your secrets, your control.
1184
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:39,554
This supposed bullshit
hide your work from the Germans,
1185
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:41,751
to the Japanese or the Russians,
1186
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:46,193
were intended for Americans
who might not like it.
1187
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:51,395
Ordinary Americans just want
that their sons return alive.
1188
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:54,399
I do everything for that.
1189
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:59,720
In Oakridge, we inject the disabled
enormous doses of plutonium.
1190
01:41:59,920 --> 01:42:04,437
I don't know anything about Oakridge.
Instead, ask the question:
1191
01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:09,191
Will it be powerful enough to
terrify us and make us think?
1192
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:13,712
To stop the war forever?
That is the question!
1193
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:16,116
I saw the Oakridge complex.
1194
01:42:16,320 --> 01:42:19,711
Built not to produce
one or two bombs,
1195
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:21,991
but thousands.
1196
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:25,989
Soon everyone
will have his bomb.
1197
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:29,556
And after? We will stay there
waiting for it to go boom?
1198
01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:33,958
The world will be full
of Merriman bursting from the inside.
1199
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:36,197
Is this what you want?
1200
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,950
Because this is the future
that you are preparing for us!
1201
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,949
Oppenheimer!
Stop playing God the Father!
1202
01:42:44,160 --> 01:42:49,109
You suck at the role
and the place is already taken.
1203
01:42:59,840 --> 01:43:04,789
His blood pressure drops quickly.
The fluid must be pumped.
1204
01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:10,316
Here we go, Michael.
1205
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:14,229
That's it, start pumping.
1206
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:22,794
Come on, doctor!
1207
01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:28,359
His tension begins
to rise slowly.
1208
01:43:46,920 --> 01:43:52,518
- Robert, you should sleep.
- I'm in the dark.
1209
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:57,038
We all concocted this thing.
1210
01:43:57,280 --> 01:44:02,229
With the Germans, the Japanese,
the Americans and the English.
1211
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:08,714
It's a horror
which goes back a long way.
1212
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:11,230
I am no longer a scientist.
1213
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:15,519
I'm a damn civil servant.
1214
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:20,153
I must remain at the helm.
1215
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:23,751
I have to control
who will get this thing.
1216
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:28,113
Power and control.
I won't hear anything more than that.
1217
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,549
Life doesn't matter to you?
1218
01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,479
What about love and understanding?
1219
01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:38,036
I thought that was science.
1220
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:40,834
I wanted things to work between us.
1221
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:44,829
Should we sacrifice everything to this... thing?
1222
01:44:48,120 --> 01:44:50,077
I endured...
1223
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:55,115
Jean...
1224
01:44:56,160 --> 01:44:59,596
because I believed
that you needed her.
1225
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:03,399
And that you would give up her for me.
1226
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:07,430
But she didn't count.
1227
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:09,597
I don't count.
1228
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:14,510
Nothing matters to you
except that damn bomb.
1229
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:16,711
That's what it is.
1230
01:45:16,920 --> 01:45:19,992
But it's not your only creation.
1231
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:23,470
There are the children.
1232
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:29,594
You need my love
and my support. I know it.
1233
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:33,839
I don't know where to find them.
1234
01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:37,677
Why me?
1235
01:45:40,280 --> 01:45:42,669
Why did he choose me?
1236
01:46:04,920 --> 01:46:06,991
- Panton !
- General?
1237
01:46:07,200 --> 01:46:10,397
Security sucks!
Nobody at the checkpoint!
1238
01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:13,513
We are not
on a public beach!
1239
01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:18,635
- We must cancel the shot.
- Not because of the weather.
1240
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:22,674
We risk radioactive fallout
all the way to Amarillo!
1241
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:26,032
Are you from the New York Times?
I want three papers.
1242
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:30,473
One if we succeed, one if we fail
and one if we disintegrate.
1243
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:35,959
With this wind we risk
massive fallout.
1244
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:40,518
It's me who decides!
Is that understood?
1245
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:45,155
We are proceeding as planned!
Sergeant, silence this dog.
1246
01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:47,795
You speak like
a station manager!
1247
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:52,836
You look for loopholes.
I don't need you!
1248
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:57,318
If you do it against my advice
and an incident occurs...
1249
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:01,996
Get in the car.
1250
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:31,672
General, it looks like things are clearing up.
1251
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:56,073
When we prepared
at a great moment,
1252
01:47:56,280 --> 01:48:00,638
we hold on to it very tightly,
otherwise it overtakes you.
1253
01:48:00,880 --> 01:48:04,236
You always knew
that I will, right?
1254
01:48:04,440 --> 01:48:06,829
We are not going against our nature.
1255
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:11,796
How will it be?
1256
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:16,116
Unimaginable.
1257
01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:20,557
It's your baby.
1258
01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:33,191
Let's go.
1259
01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:36,474
Alleluia.
1260
01:48:37,080 --> 01:48:39,117
It's safe, we can go.
1261
01:48:39,320 --> 01:48:41,357
Let's go.
1262
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:46,080
Start the countdown.
1263
01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:49,033
Plug in. Explosives, wake up!
1264
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:51,709
We're going to wake the dragon.
1265
01:49:08,280 --> 01:49:11,033
- Connection.
- Connection.
1266
01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:13,311
Synchronization relay 1: open.
1267
01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:15,716
Synchronization relay 1: open.
1268
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:18,150
Synchronization relay 2: open.
1269
01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:20,795
Synchronization relay 2: open.
1270
01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:39,396
I love you, Michael.
1271
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:48,151
Gently.
1272
01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:52,109
Breathe slowly.
1273
01:50:08,280 --> 01:50:10,237
Gently.
1274
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:13,876
Get back on the ice.
1275
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:19,440
Okay, here's the ice cream.
1276
01:50:25,640 --> 01:50:28,678
Kathleen, what are you doing here?
1277
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:31,998
Kathleen? My God !
1278
01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:34,589
Come on, darling.
1279
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:39,270
- You can't stay there.
- I had to come.
1280
01:50:39,480 --> 01:50:43,394
I wanted to tell him that I love him
because he is going to die!
1281
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:50,717
Detonator relay 4: open.
1282
01:50:53,760 --> 01:50:58,072
She is armed.
Now, safe.
1283
01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:00,556
Let's go down from there.
1284
01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:13,079
I always believed
that the Lord was with us.
1285
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:17,074
Now we're going to prove it.
1286
01:51:55,600 --> 01:51:59,594
- It must have come from the military base.
- Enrico, a prediction?
1287
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:02,360
I bet we'll set fire
to the atmosphere.
1288
01:52:02,560 --> 01:52:07,714
With a little luck, we won't erase
that New Mexico, not the planet.
1289
01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:09,991
Who wants to bet?
1290
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:13,716
I hope this thing
will not explode.
1291
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:15,911
What is this ?
1292
01:52:16,120 --> 01:52:18,350
It’s The Nutcracker.
1293
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:22,320
I can't avoid it.
1294
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:24,716
- Go to 6-5.
- 6-5.
1295
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:28,195
Try frequency 7.
1296
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:30,357
Loading the machine.
1297
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:41,230
Robert, this way.
1298
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:49,595
The machine is loaded.
1299
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:53,829
We are at zero
minus 60 seconds, 59, 58,
1300
01:52:54,120 --> 01:52:55,872
57, 56,
1301
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:57,753
55, 54,
1302
01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:02,670
53, 52, 51, 50, 49...
1303
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:06,953
- Where does this music come from?
- Earth frequency. Inevitable.
1304
01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:09,999
44, 43, 42.
1305
01:53:10,200 --> 01:53:12,157
41, 40...
1306
01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:14,351
Damn music!
1307
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:18,633
37, 36, 35, 34,
1308
01:53:18,840 --> 01:53:22,071
33, 32, 31, 30,
1309
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:27,514
29, 28, 27, 26, 25,
1310
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:32,840
24, 23, 22, 21, 20,
1311
01:53:33,040 --> 01:53:35,873
19,18,17.
1312
01:53:36,080 --> 01:53:38,913
16,15,14.
1313
01:53:39,120 --> 01:53:43,512
13,12,11,10,
1314
01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:47,429
9, 8, 7, 6,
1315
01:53:47,640 --> 01:53:53,431
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, zero.
1316
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:43,396
FOR MY FATHER.
1317
01:56:17,360 --> 01:56:20,876
Kathleen my love.
One day you asked me a question:
1318
01:56:21,080 --> 01:56:24,391
is it by instinct
whether we save or take a life?
1319
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:26,591
I don't know, my dear.
1320
01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:30,191
I only know
that we are fiber to choose.
1321
01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:33,836
I hope we choose life
rather than death.
1322
01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:37,920
Not that the implacable universe
cares too much,
1323
01:56:38,120 --> 01:56:41,158
but because looking at you,
my darling,
1324
01:56:41,360 --> 01:56:46,070
I understand the splendor
and the magic of life.
1325
01:57:23,320 --> 01:57:25,311
21 days later, on August 8, 1945,
1326
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:28,399
the bomb named "Little Boy"
was launched on Hiroshima.
1327
01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:34,471
Three days later, the bomb named
"Fat Man" was launched in Nagasaki.
1328
01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:37,911
At least 200,000 people died
in these bombings.
1329
01:57:38,120 --> 01:57:44,230
Japan surrendered unconditionally
September 2, 1945.
1330
01:57:45,680 --> 01:57:49,196
Robert Oppenheimer
was for a time a national hero.
1331
01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:53,109
In 1949 he refused his support
to the hydrogen bomb project.
1332
01:57:53,320 --> 01:57:56,358
In 1954, its Security endorsement was withdrawn.
1333
01:57:56,560 --> 01:58:00,918
He had to resign from public service
and died of cancer in 1967.
1334
01:58:02,760 --> 01:58:06,151
General Groves lost leadership
of the nuclear weapons program
1335
01:58:06,360 --> 01:58:10,513
and went into business. He died
of heart disease in 1970.
