The story so far
Everything you need before watchingLawrence storms the Berkeley lab, throws out a union meeting, and keeps Oppenheimer. The political cost is blunt: Communists in the room, a secret project he cannot name, a phone already tapped. Oppenheimer answers that the Nazis are herding his people into camps. Lawrence tells him to watch the rearview mirror and stop being naive, then says he is not just self-important but actually important. Oppenheimer agrees to be pragmatic. It is a loyalty test in a lab coat.
