Quantum trajectories are used to investigate the EPR-Bohr debate in a modern sense by examining entanglement and nonlocality. We synthesize a single "entanglement molecule" from the two scattered particles of the EPR experiment. We explicitly investigate the behavior of the entanglement molecule rather than the behaviors of the two scattered particles to gain insight into the EPR-Bohr debate. We develop the entanglement molecule's wave function in polar form and its reduced action, both of which manifest entanglement. We next apply Jacobi's theorem to the reduced action to generate the equation of quantum motion for the entanglement molecule to produce its quantum trajectory. The resultant quantum trajectory manifests entanglement and has retrograde segments interspersed between segments of forward motion. This alternating of forward and retrograde segments generates nonlocality and, within the entanglement molecule, action at a distance. Dissection of the equation of quantum motion for the entanglement molecule, while rendering the classical behavior of the two scattered particles, also reveals an emergent "entanglon" that maintains the entanglement between the scattered particles. The characteristics of the entanglon and its relationship to nonlocality are examined.
