The general has a long-term plan that he won't tell Paul at this stage, but it's designed as a preemptive measure to end the war, the Allies who seem to be losing: dropping an atomic bomb, flying in a top-secret mission. Called the Manhattan Project, on a major Japanese city. While testing the bomber is a dangerous mission in itself, each progressive step towards the end goal becomes more and more dangerous and difficult. When the team, including the Manhattan project investigators, gather at the Wendover Air Force base in Utah to conduct final tests with the Commanding Officer Paul, safety will come first, with only a handful of people telling the full story. All the others only know their small part of the whole plan, and to a question one is supposed to answer evasively by saying nothing. As such, Paul has a zero tolerance policy for anyone who violates this protocol. Seen in total secrecy as the greatest security risks are the wives, who can speak out of turn at the proverbial hairdressers if they know too much. Although Paul's wife, Lucey Tibbets, is used to secrecy, she may not be able to resist all that Paul has changed in the name of national security because she doesn't know what's going on. The mission is also jeopardized by Paul himself, who admits only to himself that he is afraid to question whether the lives of innocent Japanese will justify the end of a better world if the mission succeeds.

RF Simpson, the head of Monumental, dismisses what he thinks is a flash in the pan: talking images. Not until The Jazz Singer (1927) becomes a bona fide hit, causing all cinemas to install sound equipment that R. F. knows that Monumental, most specifically in the form of Don and Lina, has to jump on the talking picture cart, despite no one in the studio knowing anything about the technology. Musician Cosmo Brown, Don's best friend, is hired as Monumental's ideas man and musical director. And by that time, Don has started secretly dating Kathy Selden, a chorus girl who is trying to go big in pictures herself.
