The story so far
Everything you need before watchingIn a Berkeley kitchen, Chevalier drops a name like gossip: Eltenton, the Shell chemist and union man. The visitor was complaining that Washington will not share research with Soviet allies, and offered a back door if anyone had papers to send around official channels. Oppenheimer cuts it dead: that would be treason. Years later, under oath, he admits he should have reported the talk at once. Watch a quiet kitchen test a friendship, then hear it rewritten as a security failure.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageConversation ended there. Nothing in our long-standing friendship would have led me to believe that Chevalier was actually seeking information, and I am certain that he had no idea of the work in which I was engaged. It has long been clear to me that I should have reported this incident at once.
谈话到此为止。 我们多年的交情里没有任何迹象 会让我以为 骑士其实是在打听情报, 而且我确信他完全不知道 我当时在从事的工作。 我早就清楚 这件事我本该立刻上报。
