1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:03,644
Previously on Manhattan...
2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,408
Behold, gentlemen,
150 micrograms
3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,046
of Plutonium-239.
4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,722
This sample is at Dr. Akley's disposal.
5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,689
I got keys to the lab. I can let you in.
6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,167
Really?
7
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:20,720
What the hell is going on in here?
8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,524
You conned me into
giving you the plutonium.
9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,922
I got Frank Winter
an outside line today.
10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,845
He said that you took
work from other scientists
11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,251
and published it as your own.
12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,601
That's bullshit, Abby.
13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,401
They're all whores?
14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,082
You whiz kids. Always in your heads.
15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,202
You deserve some fun every once in a while.
16
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,562
As long as you're paid up...
17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,645
This chrysanthemum,
it's supposed to be white.
18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,086
My honey bees are dead.
19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,281
All of them.
20
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:40,040
Ripped By mstoll
21
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,046
Guten Morgen, Dr. Heisenberg.
22
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,686
She's very well-read.
23
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,525
You should see the stack of books
by her cot. Tolstoy, Voltaire.
24
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:28,849
What progress have you made
with plutonium alloys for shaping?
25
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:34,450
Aluminum reacts with the alpha particles,
but, um, gallium is a real possibility.
26
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,680
But Jeannie's favorite is Charles Dickens.
27
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,650
Now, I think it's because she's an orphan.
28
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,085
Isn't that sad?
29
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,282
Did you find the melting point?
30
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,249
It's somewhere in the range of 900 kelvin.
31
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,451
How did you know
that Mrs. Winter was the girl for you?
32
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,922
Was it a eureka
like Einstein discovering special relativity?
33
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,490
That took Albert a couple of years.
34
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,928
- Okay, but with Jeannie...
- Look, if we want more plutonium,
35
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,567
we have to prove that we know what we're
doing with this miniscule amount we have.
36
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,331
X-10 Reactor goes critical this week.
37
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,482
By Christmas, they're gonna be
pumping out plutonium.
38
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,486
So I don't need possibilities, Fritz.
I don't need ranges.
39
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,123
I need real data.
40
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,524
Thought we only got
poked and prodded once a month.
41
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,010
See more of you
than I do my wife these days.
42
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,965
Something wrong
with my last urine collection?
43
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,322
Fit as a bull moose, Mr. Isaacs.
44
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,768
Just establishing your baseline
before your big trip.
45
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,367
What trip?
46
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,684
We're not shipping you off
to Guadalcanal. This is a good thing.
47
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,850
Gerald, give us a moment.
48
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,326
Forgive the cloak and dagger,
49
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,769
but the Army can't have functioning
nuclear reactor on its travel bulletin.
50
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,165
The reactor's gone critical.
51
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,481
We're about to have
our very own plutonium factory.
52
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,686
If our colleagues don't wipe
53
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,445
the Confederate States
off the face of the Earth.
54
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,324
You leave for Tennessee tomorrow morning.
55
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,930
Tomorrow morning?
56
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,240
It's just...
57
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,881
Um...
58
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,804
- What?
- I've never flown in a plane before.
59
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,681
And...
60
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,046
Honestly, um...
61
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,891
I get queasy
when I'm too high up at Fenway Park.
62
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,205
Charlie,
63
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,322
for weeks you've been sitting at your desk
64
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,483
hoping I wouldn't notice you eyeing
the clock like a high school senior.
65
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,406
Look, I know you have
certain reservations about the project.
66
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,850
But in less than 72 hours, the world's
second nuclear reactor is going to go hot.
67
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,322
Now, you want to sit
in the nosebleed seats of history?
68
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,364
Or do you want to sit in the dugout?
69
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,329
So it's our second anniversary
70
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,530
and there is Frank cradling
this unwrapped brown box
71
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,489
like it is the Ark of the Covenant.
72
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,847
He never remembers our anniversary.
73
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,446
And inside the box is a rabbit.
74
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,680
Now, Frank tells me
it is a symbol of our marriage.
75
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,163
Something about a spirit of curiosity
and a keen mating instinct.
76
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,366
Okay.
77
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,047
Anyway, a week later,
this rabbit is covered in sores
78
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,521
and it's banging its head
against the side of the cage.
79
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,961
And the next thing I know,
the rabbit is dead.
80
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,168
Well, I hope you gave the breeder
a piece of your mind.
81
00:06:57,280 --> 00:06:58,850
Breeder?
82
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,802
Frank stole the rabbit
from the natural sciences lab.
83
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,727
But he failed to notice the poor creature
was in an infectious diseases study.
84
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,643
Treponema cuniculi.
85
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,564
Oh, you gave your wife syphilis. That's nice.
86
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,165
Never
was very good at biology.
87
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,881
He has other qualities to redeem him.
88
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,530
The only cook in the house.
89
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,769
Beef bourguignon.
90
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,444
Salt recklessly.
91
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,528
Oh, shoot.
92
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,201
Well, isn't this romantic?
93
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,968
Oh, Helen.
94
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,006
Oh.
95
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,408
- You're done?
- Yeah.
96
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,601
Ch.
97
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,481
Oh, God.
98
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,164
- Okay.
- Oh, God.
99
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,850
Oh, what's this?
100
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,324
They're playing Casablanca at the theater.
101
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,206
Or we could just talk?
102
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,042
What do you want to talk about?
103
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,361
Um...
104
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,121
Did you do good science today?
105
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,329
You know what, Corporal?
106
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,562
I have an early morning.
107
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,888
Why don't you take me home?
108
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,284
Or no, drop me off at the PX.
109
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,209
You haven't told anyone about this,
have you?
110
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,442
That I'm dating a genius?
111
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,409
We're not dating.
112
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,521
Abby.
113
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,004
- Hey.
- Hello.
114
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,250
What are you doing?
115
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,206
I lied.
116
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,086
I told you I read your paper.
117
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,242
I picked it up about 10 times last year,
118
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,210
but I never got past the first paragraph.
119
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,203
Now I want to finish.
120
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,970
Why?
121
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,642
This part about bending light waves,
is that like a prism? We had one at school.
122
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,961
- Abby.
- Mmm.
123
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,691
Put it away.
124
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,320
What?
125
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,284
You ever gonna let it go?
126
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,287
I... I just wanted to read it.
127
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,282
This is about Frank Winter.
128
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:48,081
Ever since you got that call,
you haven't looked at me the same.
129
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,969
That's ridiculous.
130
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,088
I didn't go to Milton Academy
like your father.
131
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,446
I don't have a trust fund.
132
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,000
Guess that means
I cheated my way in, right?
133
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,280
You are the only person I know
134
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,728
who thinks a decent upbringing
is something to be ashamed of.
135
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,320
Where's my suitcase?
136
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,811
Why?
137
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,803
I have to go on a trip tomorrow.
138
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,841
I don't know when I'll be back.
139
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,651
You'll have lots of time
to catch up on your reading.
140
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,608
I am going to prove
that it was army pesticides
141
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,290
and then I'm going to take it
to the town council.
142
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,604
The combined IQ of the town
council is probably half of yours.
143
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:28,570
Come to the meeting with me Saturday,
won't you?
144
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:29,926
Frank refuses.
145
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,083
Well, if you two are done
conspiring, I think we should get back.
146
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,686
But there is one more
little thing before you go.
147
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,082
You know, the Nazis say they cause cancer.
148
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,487
Actually, it's a little bigger than this.
149
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:46,770
I need a contrast microscope if I'm gonna
shore up my case against the Army.
150
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,207
Do you think you could smuggle
one out of the lab for me?
151
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,451
I wish we could.
152
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,170
Roosevelt
couldn't get his wheelchair
153
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,369
out of the tech area
without the Army's say-so.
154
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:58,841
Thank you, my dear.
155
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,684
- Good night.
- Good night.
156
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,928
Make clear all areas
on grid designation six through nine.
157
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,685
Make clear all areas on grid designation...
158
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,285
Jeannie.
159
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,011
Um... I waited all night for you to knock.
160
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,447
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I've been chained to my desk.
161
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,127
But I have been driving the warden crazy
talking about you.
162
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,324
I cut it into triangles the way you like
in case you don't make it to breakfast.
163
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,124
You made me a PB&J?
164
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:21,921
Mmm.
165
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,126
It's $2.50.
166
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,121
For the sandwich?
167
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,885
For last night.
168
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,363
I'm sorry.
I have a 24-hour cancellation policy.
169
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,283
Sure, sure.
170
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,488
Bye.
171
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,246
What the... No, no, no, no, no.
172
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,205
You'll be traveling
under an assumed name.
173
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,281
Yes, sir.
174
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,727
The workers at Site X barely know
what they're making down there
175
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:41,801
much less what it's used for.
176
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,803
Let's take a look under the hood
177
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,168
and make sure we're not blowing
a 20-kiloton gasket.
178
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,291
They must have a team of experts
making sure that won't happen.
179
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,362
Well, let's just say the Army
is more concerned with secrecy
180
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,727
than they are with something
as trivial as public safety.
181
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,361
Nothing goes forward without
your say-so down there, Charlie.
182
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,125
I thought you said
I was the only man for the job.
183
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,484
You are.
184
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,844
Occasionally we have to
throw implosion a bone
185
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,685
to keep them from chewing
through their leashes.
186
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,205
- Sir.
- Have a good trip.
187
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,850
Thank you.
188
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,167
You be careful at the airport.
189
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,090
You know, there are thieves everywhere.
190
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,323
Charlie, you want to get these?
191
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,729
My father was knighted by King George
192
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,451
and yet Frank sends
a little Dutch girl to Site X.
193
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,046
Well, Helen's got more degrees
than a thermometer.
194
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,088
You are just jealous.
195
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,686
Close the door. We could lose it in the wind.
196
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,924
Looks like you've already lost it, Louis.
197
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,321
I was reducing the metal and there was
198
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,210
an unexpected reaction.
We're missing 24 micrograms.
199
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,084
Of plutonium?
200
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,766
You've misplaced a million dollars
worth of Pu-239?
201
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,650
The Snoop's going haywire,
but I swiped the floor clean
202
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,001
and the oil paper's good.
203
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,925
We'll find it.
Plutonium doesn’t just evaporate.
204
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,526
Our careers will
when Oppenheimer gets wind of this.
205
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,489
Okay.
206
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,768
Mine's not making a sound.
207
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,002
Nope, nor mine.
208
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,244
This one must be busted.
209
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,482
It beeps everywhere I look,
but nothing shows up under the scope.
210
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,602
- Here, let me see it.
- Yeah.
211
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,721
We need a medic.
212
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,729
You moving to Tennessee?
213
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,003
I packed less when I left for Harvard.
214
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,447
That word rolls so easy off your tongue.
215
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,249
"Can you pass the sugar?
I went to Harvard."
216
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,163
How many pairs of clogs do you need?
217
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,925
By the way, I found a problem
with your little space paper.
218
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,161
The word is affect, not effect.
219
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,208
A typo on page six.
220
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,725
Embarrassing.
221
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,006
Hello.
222
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,681
Tickets, please.
223
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,921
Yeah.
224
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,491
Mr. and Mrs. Donaldson.
225
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,925
That's us.
226
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,405
Right, honey pie?
227
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,962
Must be quite the big shot
to fly your wife to the Smoky Mountains.
228
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,090
Oh, actually, I've been supporting Billy
since his hunting accident.
229
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,004
It doesn't matter to me
that he can't hold down a job
230
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,605
or have children.
231
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,964
Double the saline bolus.
232
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,281
Siphon in 10-mil increments.
233
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:08,681
Hypernatremia measurements,
cue, two minutes.
234
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,201
Mr. Fedowitz. You're awake.
235
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,566
Did you vomit in the other room?
236
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,211
- I think I'm okay.
- But did you vomit again?
237
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,805
Don't worry. I got it all in the garbage.
238
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,928
Nurse, go retrieve the bin.
239
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,601
Mr. Fedowitz, you swallowed
a significant quantity of plutonium.
240
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,403
Priority is to retrieve
every microgram from your stomach.
241
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,486
A man of your expertise,
242
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,006
surely you know how to separate
heavy metals from organic matter.
243
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,928
Here you go, ma'am.
244
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,604
Sprinkle this baby on your windowsill
245
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,684
and those termites of yours
will be gone in a New Mexico minute.
246
00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:59,125
This is what the Army uses as pesticide?
247
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,440
DDT?
248
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,285
Uncle Sam sprays it
on our cots, our clothes,
249
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:05,850
even our dinner plates.
250
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,206
And the kids love it, too.
251
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,691
Adiós, head lice.
252
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,683
Do you know what happens
to a mosquito exposed to organochlorides?
253
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,250
Sodium channels blow open
the sensory nerves.
254
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,563
The insect has a seizure and then
bleeds internally until the organs fail.
255
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,321
Hmm.
256
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,570
Good thing we're not mosquitos, right?
257
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,091
Right.
258
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,325
Or bees.
259
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,651
Frank is going to kill me. Or worse.
260
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,927
Hey, keep your head high.
261
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,049
It'll give his blade a clear path to your neck.
262
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,126
- Less painful that way.
- Maybe we don't tell him.
263
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,446
You know, just say that you're
still working on the alloy experiments.
264
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,921
That'll buy us enough time to...
265
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,643
Is this a lab or a wax museum?
266
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,921
Uh...
267
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,328
Just trying to win a war.
268
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,368
- Once more unto the breach.
- What happened?
269
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,921
There was a rapid vapor expansion
of the Pu-239
270
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,000
and I swallowed some.
271
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,208
Jesus, Fritz. How much?
272
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,321
All Of it.
273
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,721
All right, you two, get out.
274
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,440
Look, I already separated four micrograms.
275
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,047
I'll get the rest with dilution and recapture.
I swear on my father's grave.
276
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,640
I mean, actually, he was cremated, but...
277
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,449
What did they say at the clinic?
278
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,604
That they are confident
that we can get it all back.
279
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,808
You swallowed a radioactive isotope.
280
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,120
What did the doctor prescribe?
281
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,441
Aspirin and a case of beer.
282
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,450
I'm supposed to drink it
and then I collect all my urine.
283
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:43,886
How do you feel?
284
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,970
What? Um...
285
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,324
I guess I'm a little buzzed from the beer.
286
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,764
Why, should I be worried?
287
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,687
He's within the acceptable limits.
288
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,684
I followed the Q-9 medical directive
to the letter.
289
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,603
Who wrote the Q-9 directive?
290
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,045
That's classified.
291
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:05,610
Show me the study it's based on.
292
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,409
Fedowitz's urine and blood samples
293
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,087
have been sent via post to the project's
radiation expert for more testing.
294
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,731
Do you know the speed
at which plutonium emits alpha particles?
295
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,010
One-twentieth the speed of light.
296
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,321
Do you know its biological half-life?
297
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,244
- Well, I am sure...
- Two hundred years.
298
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,402
Longer than the United States
has been a country.
299
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,563
So why don't pick up the phone
and call the medical director for the project
300
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,920
and get him down here to examine...
301
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,321
I don't need the director.
I've been given the authority
302
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,562
to handle all health-related matters
on this hill.
303
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,008
Had you even heard the word plutonium
before you washed up on this base?
304
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,371
What did you do your residency in, Doctor?
305
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,851
- Obstetrics.
- Oh.
306
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:44,044
Yet you felt confident treating a man
307
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,521
who swallowed a quarter
of the world's supply
308
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,003
of Pu-239 with a case of beer.
309
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,805
Get me the War Department.
310
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,484
Welcome to our humble abode.
311
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,882
Fifty thousand acres
using 10% of the nation's electricity,
312
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,008
and it doesn't exist on any map.
313
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,162
We got three schools, two movie theaters.
314
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,402
We import 30,000 pounds
of mayonnaise a month.
315
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,527
You know how many sandwiches that is?
316
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,649
Mr. Ellis, how much product do you think
you'll turn out by the end of the year?
317
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,644
And, of course, our most precious resource,
these talented young ladies.
318
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,485
Most of them came straight
from high school to serve their nation.
319
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:42,891
Pretty little patriots, aren't they?
320
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,169
What's the evacuation protocol
in case of radiologic accident?
321
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,765
Expect they can find the front door.
322
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,969
We received the War Department's
R-23 directive a month ago.
323
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,441
I put it on your desk.
324
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,729
And I'm sure I told you to circulate
the directive to the girls, Theodore.
325
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,921
We've been a little busy
preparing for tomorrow's festivities.
326
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,401
So, are you excited
to make your mark in history?
327
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,529
Actually, I'm going to load
the last uranium rod.
328
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,604
I have no doubt you know how
to work a rod, young lady,
329
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,241
but instructions are that Mr. Donaldson
is to initiate the reaction.
330
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,368
We'll see about that.
331
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,727
Of course, you can hand off
the honors to your lovely wife.
332
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,802
Or whoever she is.
333
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,528
As soon as we get back home,
Mrs. Donaldson and I are filing for divorce.
334
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,008
Meet the X-10 Reactor.
335
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,890
Six hundred thousand pounds of graphite.
336
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,167
She's dressed and ready for her cotillion.
337
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,800
- All reactors should be female.
- Mmm.
338
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,930
This is Bill Tupper, our operations chief.
339
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,445
How are you?
340
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,161
In 12 hours, she'll start spinning
uranium straw into plutonium gold.
341
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,090
No, she won't.
The reactor's not going critical tomorrow.
342
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,282
Ah, Jews are born pessimists.
343
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:56,010
That's why I'm loading the last rod.
344
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:59,602
No one's loading anything until we tour
the whole facility, make sure it's safe.
345
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,081
We have 140 buildings.
You'll be here till Easter.
346
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,810
We have technical schematics
you could look at.
347
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:04,921
Theodore.
348
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,162
They diagram
every vulnerability on the site.
349
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,730
More comprehensive than any physical tour.
350
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,367
Safety's a priority, but the Army's deadlines
are gospel around here.
351
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,721
You're here to grease the wheels,
not gum up the works.
352
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,088
What I'm here to do is make sure
you don't set the atmosphere on fire.
353
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,447
He's overreacting. It's just a formality.
354
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,246
Look, I understand you've been
sent down here by some high mucky-muck.
355
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,245
That mucky-muck hired the guy
who hired the guy who hired your boss.
356
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:30,203
His name is Robert Oppenheimer.
357
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,041
Let's see those schematics.
358
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,327
First you
swallow our plutonium
359
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:51,247
Now you're going to piss it all away
360
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,402
Jeannie helped me collect
three liters of urine.
361
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,843
A good woman is hard to find.
362
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,207
Oh, by the way, could one of you guys
front me five bucks?
363
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,442
What, are you taking her out as a thank-you?
364
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,801
No, he's paying her for sex.
365
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,086
You are?
366
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,650
Thank you.
367
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:13,568
Well, no, not exactly.
We haven't really gone all the way yet.
368
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:16,328
So you're paying her
to not have sex with you?
369
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,088
Fritz, you do know most women
would probably do that for free?
370
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,564
All girls cost money.
371
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,880
You buy them dinner, drinks.
372
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,129
With Jeannie, there's none of that.
Just a flat fee.
373
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,770
I phoned Berkeley, Chicago, Manhattan.
374
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,683
They passed me
to a different doctor every time.
375
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,127
You don't even know the name
of your own goddamn boss.
376
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,362
The post office handles
the blood and urine samples.
377
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,330
We're only supposed to get a response
from his team if there's a problem.
378
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,522
- There's never been one before.
- Jesus Christ.
379
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:49,806
Compartmentalization.
380
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,609
They've never even shown me an org chart.
381
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,524
Army doesn't want anyone knowing
who's in charge.
382
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,523
There's an administrator in New York
383
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,207
who supposedly has the org chart
and the name of the ranking doctor.
384
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,887
- Well, who's he?
- His ID is 482.
385
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,688
- I've left him three messages.
- Give me his number.
386
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,047
This line needs to stay free for emergencies.
387
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,886
What exactly do you think this is?
388
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,963
Hi, Abby.
389
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,925
Hello.
390
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,126
Picking up Callie from school?
391
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,403
- Please, she'd die if she saw me here.
- Oh.
392
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,811
Just stealing a microscope
393
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,248
from the best equipped elementary school
science room in the country.
394
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,927
- Mum's the word.
- I didn't see anything.
395
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,243
Frank tells me that you're
spending your days in switchboard.
396
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,765
Oh, it's only part-time.
397
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,803
Better than no time, trust me.
398
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:02,921
It's nice to have something to distract you
while your husband's gone.
399
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,130
Oh, did Frank go, too?
400
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,170
No, I just saw Charlie
this morning at the gate.
401
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,931
With Helen Prins and a mountain of luggage.
402
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,243
Off on some top-secret mission,
I presume.
403
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,567
Who is Helen Prins?
404
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,363
Uranium-235 is highly unstable.
405
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,363
Store too much in one place,
you can set off a chain reaction.
406
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,044
Which is why we split it up
so there's never more
407
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:30,963
than 12 kilograms in any given building.
408
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,361
This isn't rocket science.
409
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,408
So how do you transport it?
410
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,570
Uranium enters the reactor
through this valve
411
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,722
at a rate of 24 milligrams per second.
412
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,569
What if a valve fails?
413
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,444
If uranium accumulates
in the pipes, you could...
414
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,127
All the valves are redundant,
like this conversation.
415
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,090
Plant's designed
so that if any one valve gets clogged,
416
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,650
another one comes to the rescue.
417
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,451
What about this one?
There's no redundancy there.
418
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,807
That's not a valve. That's a window.
419
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,324
You've got a busy day, Mr. Ellis.
420
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,801
If it would be helpful,
I can walk our guests through the plants.
421
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,644
Compartmentalization, Theodore.
422
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,563
I don't think Washington would like that.
423
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,324
But I could use some coffee.
424
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,846
This is where the separation takes place?
425
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,247
- The calutron starts here.
- Uh-huh.
426
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,091
When I get dismissed by a group of men,
427
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,323
it usually means they're afraid
of what I'm about to say.
428
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,323
It's Mrs. Donaldson, correct?
429
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,368
This isn't the Underground Railroad.
430
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,404
I don't need a woman
to rescue me from the white man.
431
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,960
I'm not here to rescue anyone.
432
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,611
But no one else in that room
gives a shit what you think.
433
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,091
Green water.
434
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,210
Clear vats 14 and 15 from building 90-207.
435
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,524
They're, what,
eight and a half feet from 206?
436
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,090
Who the hell drew these?
437
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,322
Some third-rate architect
from the Corps of Engineers?
438
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,004
- What are you, a draftsman?
- Draftswoman.
439
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,361
This rendering is off by six inches.
440
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,729
Add up 206, 207, and 208
and we're still under the safety limits.
441
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,610
Yeah, for fast neutrons.
But we're talking about green water.
442
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,091
Green water?
443
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,762
Uranium dissolved in liquid form.
444
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,565
The neutrons slow down
and become 100 times more effective.
445
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,086
- So what?
- A hundred times more fissionable.
446
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,726
All these buildings will go up in smoke.
447
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,165
You need to clear every one of them.
448
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,130
Four thousand vats spread over 100 acres?
449
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,647
- It'll take a week.
- I need a word alone.
450
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,810
Don't look at me.
451
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,167
You heard my wife.
452
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,971
Medical Division.
453
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,724
Get your boss on the phone now.
454
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,245
This is number G-11.
455
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,324
Eleven? One moment, please.
I'll get him right away.
456
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,771
G-11?
457
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,128
Didn't know they even
made ID numbers that low.
458
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,170
I understand you've got yourself a situation.
459
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,005
You need to talk to
the project radiation chief.
460
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,482
- Well, who is he?
- Never spoken to him myself,
461
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,689
but I know all the urine
and blood samples go to his lab for testing.
462
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,603
He sets the acceptable limits.
463
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,570
ID number is...
464
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,929
B-379.
465
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,122
Fine, have your girl put me through.
466
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,201
Marge.
467
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:30,721
Health Division.
468
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,007
IS this B-379?
469
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,690
Dr. Winter?
470
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,048
It doesn't make any sense.
471
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,765
What exactly did he say?
472
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,885
That you were receiving shipments
and that you set the acceptable limits.
473
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,487
The blood and urine samples
are sent to an outside team.
474
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,211
My assistant drops them
at the post office every Monday.
475
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,283
Have you ever actually seen them
put the samples on the truck?
476
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,922
This must be a misunderstanding.
477
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,284
I have a week's training in radiology.
478
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,764
Why would they put me in charge?
479
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,245
Who hired you?
480
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,250
Alek, we need to talk.
481
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,966
I've made it clear I don't enjoy
being disturbed during my games.
482
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,601
You handpicked the ranking
medical officer on the Hill.
483
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,123
Just as Robert and I handpicked you.
484
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,130
What do you want, Frank?
485
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,647
It's all an illusion, isn't it?
486
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,451
The Geiger measurements,
the urine and blood samples.
487
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,645
What, are you just throwing
away the collections?
488
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,167
Your man Fedowitz
swallowed 24 micrograms of Pu-239.
489
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,729
The toxic dose is 100 to 500 micrograms.
490
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,529
Did you just invent those numbers?
491
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,689
A range of 400 proves you have
no idea what you're talking about.
492
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,888
Radiology is not your field, Frank.
493
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,804
And it's not Dr. Adelman's either.
494
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,769
You intentionally
chose a man who knows nothing
495
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,322
about radiologic risks
to run our medical program.
496
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,922
But you know plenty about radiology,
don't you, Alek?
497
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,527
You spent six years with Marie Curie
at the Pasteur Institute?
498
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,081
Seven, actually.
499
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,085
That woman died blind and anemic.
500
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,720
Her papers had to be quarantined.
501
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,047
She went to her grave
denying that it was because
502
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,761
she had been breathing in
radioactive dust for 40 years.
503
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,330
If the history lesson is over...
504
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,722
Glen Babbit tells me
that Dr. Curie could be very forthcoming
505
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,370
after a few glasses of Bordeaux.
506
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,683
She never let you handle any radium
or polonium, did she, Alek?
507
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,525
Dr. Curie didn't want anyone
to lay claim to her work.
508
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,128
No. No, she let other students
handle ionizing elements.
509
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,770
But she'd already buried a husband
510
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,401
and she wouldn't expose
the young Hungarian physicist
511
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,448
who was in love with her.
512
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,411
Safety standards on the Hill
513
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,529
have been approved by the Secretary of War.
514
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,126
You can address your complaints
to the Pentagon.
515
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,401
No.
516
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,891
No more bureaucrats.
517
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,528
Town council meets tomorrow morning.
518
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,365
People need to know
you're running a Potemkin clinic
519
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,408
and it's all a lie.
520
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,164
Shout plutonium in a crowded theater,
521
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,570
it won't just be your job, Dr. Winter.
522
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,046
You could find yourself in military prison.
523
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,967
Your record is six feet even.
524
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,089
I'll wager you
a half bottle of my secret cologne
525
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,650
you cannot make it to 10.
526
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,564
Secret cologne?
You smell like Marmite, Crosley.
527
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,526
Uh... I'll take the under
for two tickets to next week's movie.
528
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,250
They're playing This is the Army.
529
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,850
Whoa!
530
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,206
Oh!
531
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,764
Jeannie loves Ronald Reagan.
532
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:25,687
Line it up.
533
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:26,761
Yay!
534
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:28,810
Line it up.
535
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,161
- Line it up.
- Line it up.
536
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,367
All right, prepared, are you?
537
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,003
Crosley, these are what
American lungs look like.
538
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,124
Oh
539
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:49,681
Unbelievable.
540
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,330
Watch out, Ringling Brothers.
541
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,807
Hold it. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
542
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,848
Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc.
543
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,571
Hey, how about a taste
of your own medicine?
544
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,085
Uh... Another time.
545
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,326
Oh!
546
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,921
That's the best doc
in the 48 states right there.
547
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,525
Best doc.
548
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,649
I'm gonna need a refill
on my prescription soon, Doc.
549
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:12,208
I love that guy.
550
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,886
- What's his name?
- I don't know.
551
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,925
I thought you didn't approve.
552
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:31,562
Of you burning the house down? I don't.
I'm here for your wife.
553
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,210
- Where is she?
- No idea.
554
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:34,801
Well...
555
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,088
This is gonna be
the best piece of theater
556
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,606
since Oppenheimer
was in Arsenic and Old Lace.
557
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,681
Dr. Winter.
558
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,683
Dr. Barath paid me a visit.
559
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,764
One of Louis Fedowitz's
brother died fighting Rommel.
560
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,970
The other is in the Gilbert Islands,
but Louis is here on your base.
561
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,724
If you cut the sanctimony
for a goddamn minute,
562
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,365
you'll hear me say I agree with you.
563
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,126
Let's take a walk.
564
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,289
I told Army Medical our standard was
unworthy of this installation a month ago.
565
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,125
We're understaffed
and Dr. Adelman's in over his head.
566
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,645
The general shot me down.
567
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:17,449
Then come back in there with me.
568
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,090
Let's make a united front.
569
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,730
I need you to look at something first.
570
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,402
What is this?
571
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,401
Who the hell is this?
572
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,645
You didn't hear this from me.
573
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,007
Command calls him Magpie.
574
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,890
Could be a disgruntled bureaucrat
from Munich or Hitler's gardener.
575
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,564
Either way, he has credible intelligence
576
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,246
their atomic program
is two months ahead of ours.
577
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,931
How do you know the Germans
didn’t just plant him?
578
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,604
This is Greek to me,
579
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,242
but I'm sure those equations
mean something to you.
580
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,049
Jesus.
581
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,523
They're testing yields.
582
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,011
What?
583
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,328
They're testing a bomb.
584
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,847
They're more than two months ahead of us.
585
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,729
Our history aside, if you go forward,
I'll stand with you in there.
586
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,521
But if we sound the alarm,
it could be weeks until we get back to work.
587
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,887
Meantime, the krauts could get there first,
588
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,564
and none of this makes a bit of difference.
589
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,607
Hello?
590
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:08,529
You got Prince Albert in a can?
591
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,689
Charlie, we're not allowed
to take personal calls.
592
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,171
Martha checks the phone logs.
593
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:14,571
So pick an extension.
594
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,529
Patch me through. Take the scenic route.
595
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:21,282
Where are you?
596
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,085
You tell people not to answer
that question all day long.
597
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,325
I mean, are you working?
598
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:27,481
I'm at the hotel.
599
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,607
Must be nice.
600
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,330
Whisked away on a vacation.
601
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,010
Someone to fluff your pillows?
602
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,842
Trust me, it's not the Plaza.
603
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,651
You still there?
604
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,365
Yes.
605
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,323
I just, uh...
606
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,291
I wanted to hear your voice.
607
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,287
Hope you're not too lonely,
608
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,647
all by yourself on that business trip.
609
00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:58,529
I should have brought a book.
610
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,403
My son bouncing off the walls?
611
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,125
Actually, Joey has an earache.
612
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,690
He was up crying all night.
613
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,524
- It was very sad.
- Abby, I'm sorry.
614
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,568
Actually, we should go.
We have a doctor's appointment.
615
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,563
Listen, I love you.
616
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,562
Me, too.
617
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:27,447
Get up.
618
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,205
From now on, I'm the only one
who touches the plutonium.
619
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,890
You obviously can't be trusted
with our limited supply.
620
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,926
Oh, if it isn't the happy honeymooners.
621
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,207
You'll be pleased to hear
we just got a clean bill of health
622
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,520
on the storage room in building nine.
623
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:10,761
It's a good start.
624
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,569
And we began loading rods an hour ago.
625
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:13,681
I can see that.
626
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,928
The reactor will be
fully operational within a day.
627
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,687
We gave you a list of 22 major hazards
to resolve before we go critical.
628
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,202
And the Army intends to give your list
the consideration it deserves.
629
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,851
- When?
- Just as soon as we're critical.
630
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,561
Now, if you'll excuse me. I've got
a 300-ton block of graphite to attend to.
631
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,087
- On whose authority?
- General Leslie Groves.
632
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,567
He's the mucky-muck
who hired Robert Oppenheimer.
633
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,331
Rest up.
Tomorrow's a big day for all of us.
634
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,286
Hey.
635
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,089
You didn't go to the town council?
636
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,970
There was no acetylcholinesterase activity.
637
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,491
So pesticides didn't kill the bees
638
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,409
and it wasn't the Army.
639
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,207
Maybe it was a virus?
640
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,044
A parasite?
641
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,003
I ruled out infectious disease.
642
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,924
Well, you'll figure it out.
643
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,922
You always do.
644
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,124
Do you think it can be
something from the tech area?
645
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,202
I know you're working with chemicals and...
646
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,601
What if the runoff
was dumped in Ashley Pond?
647
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,160
Or there was a gas in the air?
648
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,609
The safety and environmental protocols
were vetted by experts.
649
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:39,890
I read the reports myself.
650
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,563
Frank, a bee colony
doesn’t just collapse on its own.
651
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,890
Well, wasn't the Army.
652
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,728
So it was phantom toxins in the tech area?
653
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,967
You think this is all in my head?
654
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,001
Let's find you some new bees.
655
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:38,760
