Names are being withheld.
The casualties are high.

:04:02
Come in!
:04:04
Reports of an early-morning raid
by Japanese dive-bombers...

:04:09
In here.
In here!

:04:12
- Szard?
- Szilard.

:04:15
General Groves, I was expecting you.
Come in! Come in!

:04:28
Forgive me.
Sometimes I get stuck in here.

:04:32
Metaphorically.
:04:34
I've read this.
:04:36
- Is it possible?
- You couldn't put a little more hot in,

:04:39
could you?
:04:50
And I'm not very good at fairy tales,
so just give me the happy ending.

:04:56
What I wrote is possible,
probably inevitable.

:05:01
Separate uranium 235,
then arrange for two portions

:05:05
of the element to be brought together
suddenly, so that the resulting mass,

:05:10
no bigger than this, general,
:05:12
undergoes a spontaneous
self-generating reaction.

:05:16
And if this was the epicenter
of that explosion...

:05:21
...all of Chicago you could see
from here would disintegrate.

:05:27
Hallelujah.
:05:28
At the moment, all we have
are theories, concepts, inspirations,

:05:33
- inconclusive results...
- Now, if we can make this device,

:05:37
- so can the Krauts.
- Yes.

:05:39
Germany has the scientific capability.
:05:41
And, general,
we need leadership here.

:05:45
- I can help!
- Thank you.

:05:46
You need an ally, general!
:05:54
- So tell us about this general.
- Why?

:05:58
Because it's so mysterious.
