00:03 Thanks for convening on short notice.
00:20 I can't believe it.
00:23 Here we are.
00:24 This is atomic test.
00:28 The Russians have a bomb.
00:29 We're supposed to be years ahead of them, but--
00:33 what were you guys doing in Los Alamos?
00:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:38 And how many people were in these open discussions?
00:45 Too many compartmentalization was
00:47 supposed to be the protocol.
00:48 We were in a race against the Nazis.
00:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:52 So now the race is against the Soviets.
00:56 Not unless we start it.
00:57 Robert, they just fired a starting gun.
01:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:04 What's the nature of the device they detonated?
01:12 Data indicates it may have been a plutonium implosion device.
01:15 Like the one you built at Los Alamos?
01:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:21 A secret laboratory.
01:24 In the middle of nowhere.
01:25 Keep everyone there until it's done.
01:27 Why?
01:28 If we don't let scientists bring their families,
01:29 we'll never get the best.
01:31 Build them a town.
01:32 Why would I leave my family?
01:33 I told you, you can bring your family.
01:35 I'm not a soldier, Abhi.
01:36 A soldier?
01:38 He's a general.
01:39 I've got all the soldier I need.
01:40 What can I tell them?
01:41 As much as you like, until you feel my boot on your balls.
01:44 You know isotopes, and you know explosives.
01:46 But you can't tell us what you're doing.
01:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:50 Why would we go to the middle of nowhere for who knows how long?
01:54 For a year, or two, or three.
01:56 It's about unleashing a strong force.
01:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:02 Before the Nazis do.
02:04 Oh my god.
02:05 How about because this is the most important thing
02:07 to ever happen in the history of the world?
02:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:13 Here you got a little town.
02:15 Everybody will go crazy.
02:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:18 [GUNSHOT]
02:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:26 They won't let me leave.
02:28 I won't let you leave.
02:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:32 It's happening, isn't it?
02:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:42 I don't know if we can be trusted with such a weapon.
02:51 But I know the Nazis can't.
02:56 You can't convince anyone of anything, even yourself.
03:01 Hitler's dead.
03:02 There's a Japanese fight on.
03:05 Nobody knows what you believe.
03:07 Do you?
03:08 There were rumors of espionage.
03:10 Unsubstantiated--
03:11 Look, there's no proof there was a spy at Los Alamos.
03:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:19 [GUNSHOT]
03:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:22 You felt your judgment was sound,
03:24 and no one on the team could be trusted?
03:26 No one is leaving Los Alamos.
03:28 What are you doing?
03:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:33 Well, we had a moment where it looked
03:46 like the chain reaction from an atomic device
03:48 might never stop.
03:49 Are we saying there's a chance that when we push that button,
03:54 we destroy the world?
03:55 Chances are near zero.
03:57 Near zero?
03:58 What do you want from theory alone?
04:00 Zero would be nice.
04:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:09 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:47 Where'd the Japanese surrender if they knew what was coming?
04:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:53 [EXPLOSION]
04:57 [EXPLOSION]
05:00 [EXPLOSION]
