they'll be coming to stick

their nose in all of our work.

After which, the experiments

will continue under Lloyd's supervision.

Isn't there any way to stop them?

Yes.

By trying out the experiment

and proving that it works

before they can intervene.

There are too many unknowns.

It's too big a risk.

I know.

Okay, Dr. Houseman.

Tom, who came in?

Dr. Houseman.

Okay.

Thanks for the evening.

Mike, I care for you very much,

but sometimes...

Your wisdom is very discouraging.

Forgive me if I don't give up.

It never hurts to keep trying.

- Good night, Mike.

- Good night, Sally.

Calm down, Sally, it's me.

Peter, what are you doing here?

Well, I'm keeping my promise.

I told you that you would be

the first one to know when I...

It's after 1:
00.

Can we talk about it tomorrow?

I beat them all.

What do you mean?

The serum, it works. I tried it.

- Tried it on whom.

- On myself.

I used a small dose, but the results

were even better than I expected.

Now I can publish everything

and no one will dare to stop me.

Peter, that's fantastic.

I'm really happy for you.

That's all I really came to tell you.

- You're the only one who knows.

- Thank you.

- I guess I'll be going.

- Wait.

Do you want to come in for a minute?

- Sure, if it's not too late.

- No!

- I'll make some coffee.

- Okay.

Alice?

Oh, hello, Sally.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Oh, I went to sleep.

Where's Tommy?

He went to sleep too

and I put him to bed.

Hi, I wasn't sleeping,

I was waiting for you.

Well, I would've been

disappointed if you hadn't.

But now, let's go to bed.

I'll go now, Sally.

Call me tomorrow if you still need me.

- Bye, Alice, thanks.

- Bye-bye.

Good night, Tommy!

Why don't you say hello,

instead of staring at him

as if he were a rare animal?

His name is Peter.

Hello, Tommy, how are you?

I'm sleepy.

Okay. Off to bed.

Why don't you take off your coat?

I'll be back in a moment.

Can I sleep with you?

No, dear.

Mama has work to do.

That's why Dr. Houseman came over.

Get a good night's rest, dearest.

Tommy's a cute kid.

- Are you divorced?

- No.

I've never been married.

Tommy's father was.

Only I didn't know it.

Our romance was washed out

by the terror in his eyes

when I told him I was pregnant.

Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks.

What did you do to your hand?

I don't know.

Must have hit it against something.

At least it isn't bleeding anymore.

Thank you.

Do you want some coffee now?

In the years 1953

to 1955,

it was proposed what afterwards

came to be regarded as central dogma.

Which affirmed that DNA

did not directly participate

in protein synthesis.

But acted rather as a stamp

for the synthesis of a molecule

George Eastman

George Eastman (July 12, 1854 – March 14, 1932) was an American entrepreneur who founded the Eastman Kodak Company and popularized the use of roll film, helping to bring photography to the mainstream. Roll film was also the basis for the invention of motion picture film stock in 1888 by the world's first film-makers Eadweard Muybridge and Louis Le Prince, and a few years later by their followers Léon Bouly, William Kennedy Dickson, Thomas Edison, the Lumière Brothers, and Georges Méliès. He was a major philanthropist, establishing the Eastman School of Music, and schools of dentistry and medicine at the University of Rochester and in London Eastman Dental Hospital; contributing to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and the construction of several buildings at the second campus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the Charles River. In addition he made major donations to Tuskegee University and Hampton University, historically black universities in the South. With interests in improving health, he provided funds for clinics in London and other European cities to serve low-income residents. In his final two years, Eastman was in intense pain caused by a disorder affecting his spine. On March 14, 1932, Eastman shot himself in the heart, leaving a note which read, "To my friends: my work is done. Why wait?"The George Eastman Museum has been designated a National Historic Landmark. Eastman is the only person represented by two stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame recognizing the same achievement, for his invention of roll film. more…
