has been working on?

00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,320
You may have changed your religion,

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,880
but don't think for a second
you can change your heritage.

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,480
But if the worst disputes
between warring nations

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,960
can be resolved,
can't two old friends make peace?

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,680
I would like you to meet
my good friend, Dr. Niels Bohr.

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,960
Are you familiar with Heisenberg's
uncertainty principle?

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,800
What about Margot and Ilse?

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,520
ELSA: They're determined
to make their lives here.

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,800
Perhaps they'll change their minds
once they see how happy

15
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,200
a person can be in New Jersey.

16
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,920
I am conducting this
inquiry at the request

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,200
-of Mr. J. Edgar Hoover.
-EINSTEIN: Hoover?

18
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,720
What does he want with me?

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,360
SECRETARY: Dr. Lenard, it's an honor.

20
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,440
He's expecting you, sir.

21
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,280
Heil, mein Fuhrer!

22
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,160
Welcome to the Nazi Party, Dr. Lenard.

HALLIWELL: The intelligence is thin,
I'll admit,

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,520
but if it's accurate, well, then

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,240
we'd all better start learning
to speak German

27
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,240
as well as you do.

28
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:36,800
BERG: What else you got?

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,840
HALLIWELL: Not much.

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,440
That's why you're here.

31
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,440
We may have the Jerries on their heels,

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,920
but if this Heisenberg character
is indeed close to building

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,600
an atomic bomb... (CHUCKLES WRYLY)
Well, Jesus.

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,560
What do you want me to do?

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,440
It's a Walther PPK.

36
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,440
A Swiss friend of ours
has invited Heisenberg

37
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,640
to lecture in Zurich in December.

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,640
You're gonna be there.
If you're captured,

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,680
it'll appear you smuggled it from Germany.

40
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,480
But if that happens,

41
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,320
swallow the pill. It's quick.

42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,120
And it's a hell of a lot less painful

43
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,600
than what the Nazis will do to you.

Paul Scherrer.

Pleasure to meet you, Herr Professor.

51
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,480
BERG: Which one is Heisenberg?

52
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,040
There, on the right.

55
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,440
"fast fission," "plutonium."

56
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,480
Good evening, gentlemen, ladies.

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,840
Thank you for coming.

58
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:54,400
If anything Heisenberg says

59
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,080
leads you to believe he is close
to constructing a bomb,

60
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,720
kill him.

61
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,200
GOEBBELS: Congratulations, Dr. Lenard.

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,320
The Fuhrer, in his wisdom,

63
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,680
has decided to reward your early support

64
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,480
and continued loyalty

65
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,720
by appointing you Chief of Aryan Physics.

66
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,720
I am humbled and grateful,
Dr. Goebbels.

67
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,120
Please inform the Fuhrer
that my first order of business

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,680
will be to reclaim
the glory of German science

69
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,760
by purging the Prussian Academy

70
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,400
of all foreign and impure influences.

71
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,400
We must do more than inform the Fuhrer.

72
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,360
We must inform the people,

73
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,000
in a manner that will forever
burn this moment

74
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,520
into their memory.

75
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,720
GOEBBELS: The era

76
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,560
of exaggerated Jewish intellectualism

77
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,720
is now at an end!

78
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,520
The triumph of the German Revolution

79
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,600
has again cleared a path
for the German way.

80
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,560
And the future German man
will not only be a man of books,

81
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,160
but also a man of character.

82
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,360
And, thus, you do well
in this midnight hour

83
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,040
to commit to the flames
the evil spirit of the past.

84

ELSA: Albert,

95
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,040
they have raided our apartment.

96
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:36,120
The cottage as well.

97
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,920
What were they hoping to find,
my supply of

98
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,520
contraband tobacco?

99
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,040
Margot says that they were
looking for guns.

100
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,080
They claimed to have intelligence

101
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,720
that you were hiding them
for communist insurgents.

102
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,920
Well, that's a very liberal use
of the word "intelligence."

103
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,880
The girls have managed
to save most of your papers.

104
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,480
Poor Herr Hitler.

105
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,000
What will he use for kindling

106
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,280
the next time he wishes
to read by the fire?

107
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,600
-This isn't funny, Albert.
-I know.

108
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,400
That is why we must fight, Elsa.

109
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,000
Fight Hitler however we can.

110
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,600
We haven't any guns.

111
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,440
I have a voice. I can write.

112
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,960
I can speak out,
tell anyone who will listen

113
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,760
that this man is a threat,

114
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,240
that other governments must use

115
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,320
all peaceful means
to oppose him.

116
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,360
Margot says that Ilse's
condition is getting worse.

117
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,640
That is not good news, my love.

118
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,880
We must get her out of Germany.

119
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,480
And the rest of our family and friends.

120
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,240
Use your voice for that.

121
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,800
HELEN: The car is here.

122
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Oh, thank you, Helen.

123
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,080
You go ahead. I'll-I'll be just a moment.

124
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,600
Don't be too long.

Flexner has threatened
to feed me

126

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

127
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,320
The Nazis are fanatics.

128
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,440
American capitalists such as yourself

129
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,840
must refuse to do business
with them, Mr. Mills.

130
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,720
I'm surprised a man of your background

131
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:23,480
needs a lesson in capitalism, Professor.

132
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,960
It doesn't work by refusing

133
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,680
to do business with people.

134
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,360
You're here to attract donors, Albert,

135
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,160
-not to chase them away.
-Oh, my mistake.

136
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,720
I was under the impression
my job here was to pursue science,

137
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,960
not to be the collector for your coffers.

138
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,320
Most of these people are put off as it is,

139
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,560
having so many Jews on the faculty.

140
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,520
(QUIETLY) They don't want our politics
thrown in their faces.

141
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,760
Albert, look who I have just met.

142
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:52,240
This is Mr. Henry Morgenthau.

143
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,680
He is Secretary of the Treasury
for Mr. Roosevelt.

144
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,480
An honor to meet you, Professor.

145
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,760
"Morgenthau."

146
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:02,320
-A Jewish name?
-As a matter of fact, yes.

147
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,560

Corned beef on rye. (CHUCKLES)

149
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,320
A Jew who's also a politician.

150
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,320
How very interesting.

151
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,600
Albert, I was thinking
maybe Mr. Morgenthau

152
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,120
could give us some advice

153
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,720
on getting our friends out of Germany.

154
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,440
Get up. Let's go. (GRUNTS)

155
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,120
-On your feet, you kike.
-Move! Move!

156
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,600
Where are you taking them?

157
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,440
No Jews in government posts.

158
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,800
That includes this laboratory.

159
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,480
This is an outrage.
How am I to continue my work?

160
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,360
I'm sure you will manage.

161
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,600
Your people are nothing if not clever.

162
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,040
My people?

163
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,760
What are you insinuating?

164
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,600
We know you were not born a Lutheran.

165
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,840
Or would you care to drop
your trousers and prove us wrong?

166
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,240
(WHISPERS) How-how dare you
speak to me in such a manner?

167
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,040
Your Jew-loving friends
cannot protect you forever...

168
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,440
Haber.

169
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,960
PLANCK: Fritz is a German patriot.

170
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,480
He was the first among us
to raise his hand in the Great War.

171
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,560
He's also a Jew.

172
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Yes, Philipp, but... (CHUCKLES)

173
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,360
There are Jews and, uh,

174
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,400
and then there are Jews.

175
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,040
I'm told you have already
pressed this matter

176
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,080
with the Fuhrer himself.

177
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,880
-Did he not give you a clear answer?
-Yes,

178
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,840
but we cannot turn our backs on Fritz.

179
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,320
He has been a colleague

00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,160
I understand you're applying
for citizenship.

361
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,560
I could expedite the process for you.

362
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,800
Thank you, sir.

363
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,960
But I don't want
any special treatment.

364
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,760
That's very noble of you, Professor,

365
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,920
but the citizenship test requires
a lot of study.

366
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,520
Promise me you'll save
some of that brain power

367
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,000
for science.

368
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,120
EINSTEIN: Imagine two particles.

369
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,560
Measure their mass.

370
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,360
Stick them together.

371
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:28,000
Let them spring apart.

372
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,560
What happens?

373
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,120
Their positions and their
velocities are related,

374
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,360
-but...
-The uncertainty principle

375
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,720
says if we measure the position of one...

376
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,640
-Then we cannot measure its velocity.
-Ah.

377
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,160
But we can still measure the velocity

378
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,680
of that second particle.

379
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,600
And since they are both
mathematically related,

380
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,920
we can then determine the velocity

381
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,200
of the first particle,

382
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,200
so we'd know both
its position and velocity

383
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,040
without having to measure them both.

384
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,240
Heisenberg's uncertainty
principle disproved.

385
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,240
With certainty.

386
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,760
You are vanquished, sir.

387
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,120
Hmm, but what if the act of measuring
the first particle

388
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,840
influenced the second,

389
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,240
changed it somehow
at the time it was measured?

390
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,440
Impossible. That would be

391
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,960
spooky action at a distance.

392
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,840
"Spooky action."

and I will offer you generous terms.

397
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,120

It's as we suspected, Mrs. Einstein.

406

How do we treat it?

407
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,400
I'll give you some time
to be alone with your husband.

You have

412
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,840
so much else in your mind.

I expect she would have reminded me

fight Hitler however we can.

has been particularly unclear

it's because of my inability

I could be a real physicist like you.

What would you like to know?

767
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,840
The topic that most interests me
is atomic fission.

768
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,680
The journals say that it will become
a source of energy

769
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,240
more powerful than coal or even oil.

770
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,240
That is certainly our hope.

I have also read

772

that it could be used to create a bomb.

00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,360
Is this true?

774
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,720
A weapon is only theoretical.

00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,160
Yes, but, theoretically,

776
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:51,480
if you had the materials,

777
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,720
could it be done?

atomic fission for you, Herr Ritter.

781
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,320
If you were a real physicist,

782
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,520
one who knew how
to build such a weapon,

783
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,240
and you knew it would help
your country win a war

784
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,520
but that it could also kill thousands,

785
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,200
what do you suppose would be stronger?

00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,720
Your patriotism

787
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,120
or your moral qualms?

788
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,520
I suppose

789
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,080
if I were a true patriot

790
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,560
I would have to push those qualms aside.

00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,440

00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,400
Of course.

the less precisely you know its position.
