<i>When you were young?</i>

166
00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:57,346
How old are you now?
23.

167
00:11:57,416 --> 00:11:58,542
And a PhD to your name?

168
00:11:58,617 --> 00:12:00,084
Perutz,

169
00:12:00,152 --> 00:12:03,417
<i>we must introduce
this young man to Crick.</i>

170
00:12:03,489 --> 00:12:05,548
Who's Crick?

171
00:12:05,624 --> 00:12:07,683
Crick is the bright hope
of the Cavendish.

172
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,126
A bright hope
shared by us all is that—

173
00:12:10,196 --> 00:12:11,595
how shall I put it?

174
00:12:11,664 --> 00:12:14,565
<i>He'll fulfill his early promise
before it gets late.</i>

175
00:12:14,633 --> 00:12:17,295
[Men chuckling]

176
00:12:17,369 --> 00:12:20,668
<i>Welcome to the Cavendish,
Dr. Watson.</i>

177
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:23,868
I know it doesn't look
very likely, but I, too,

178
00:12:23,943 --> 00:12:26,070
<i>was young once.</i>

179
00:12:27,646 --> 00:12:31,412
<i>(man) Francis, this is Jim Watson,
the bacteriophage man.</i>

180
00:12:31,484 --> 00:12:33,509
<i>We thought we'd give him
the desk in here with you.</i>

181
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:35,986
Ah, the boy wonder.

182
00:12:36,055 --> 00:12:37,522
And the bright hope?

183
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:40,923
Bragg, he's rather hoping
Watson's precocious achievements

184
00:12:40,993 --> 00:12:43,086
might shame you
into action.

185
00:12:43,162 --> 00:12:45,653
Knock on my door if you need me,
next room along.

186
00:12:45,731 --> 00:12:46,959
Thank you.

187
00:12:47,032 --> 00:12:49,694
You've entered the land
of irony, Jim Watson.

188
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:52,294
Right, I know back
where you come from,

189
00:12:52,371 --> 00:12:54,100
the director of the lab
would bang on the table

190
00:12:54,173 --> 00:12:56,107
and say,
"Shape up or ship out"

191
00:12:56,175 --> 00:12:57,836
<i>or "Haul your ass"</i>

192
00:12:57,910 --> 00:13:01,778
<i>or something vivid
and descriptive like that.</i>

193
00:13:01,847 --> 00:13:04,509
Here, it's "How's the Great Work
coming along, Crick?

194
00:13:04,583 --> 00:13:05,845
"Am I to hear

195
00:13:05,918 --> 00:13:08,751
<i>you're being considered
for a Nobel, Crick?"</i>

196
00:13:08,821 --> 00:13:13,087
And it puts iron into Bragg's
soul to know that I'm 35

197
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:16,492
<i>and don't yet have a PhD.</i>

198
00:13:16,562 --> 00:13:18,621
I wouldn't be too happy about it
if it was me.

199
00:13:18,697 --> 00:13:20,255
Well, I mustn't
overstate my case.

200
00:13:20,332 --> 00:13:21,264
I don't claim

201
00:13:21,333 --> 00:13:22,732
<i>to be happy about it,</i>

202
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:24,099
but what's a fellow to do?

203
00:13:24,170 --> 00:13:26,195
I'm sure oxygenated hemoglobin
has its due place

204
00:13:26,272 --> 00:13:27,534
<i>in the scheme of things,</i>

205
00:13:27,606 --> 00:13:29,164
<i>but it can hardly
be said to be fun.</i>

206
00:13:29,241 --> 00:13:31,368
<i>I mean, what's the point
of science if it isn't fun?</i>

207
00:13:31,443 --> 00:13:32,467
So what's fun?

208
00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:34,206
Oh, the big questions.

209
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,579
<i>The bigger, the better.</i>

210
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:39,550
What is man?

211
00:13:39,618 --> 00:13:41,051
<i>What is life?</i>

212
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,418
<i>How do we come to be
the way we are?</i>

213
00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:44,421
Big questions, all right.

214
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:46,253
Yeah, big questions
get big answers.

215
00:13:46,325 --> 00:13:47,724
We can blow ourselves up,

216
00:13:47,793 --> 00:13:51,285
<i>but we still don't know
how we reproduce ourselves.</i>

217
00:13:51,363 --> 00:13:52,853
You're interested
in genes?

218
00:13:52,932 --> 00:13:55,423
Certainly.
All yours.

219
00:13:55,501 --> 00:13:57,594
Where would you look
for a gene,

220
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:59,035
<i>if you were looking?</i>

221
00:13:59,104 --> 00:14:00,036
Excuse me.

222
00:14:00,105 --> 00:14:02,335
My hunch is the nucleic acid.

223
00:14:02,408 --> 00:14:03,875
I mean, you ask me what's fun;

224
00:14:03,943 --> 00:14:06,207
right now, I'd say DNA.

225
00:14:08,614 --> 00:14:09,706
Me too.

226
00:14:12,251 --> 00:14:13,240
I'm sorry,
is it Francis?

227
00:14:13,319 --> 00:14:14,877

Hello, Maurice.
Raymond.

233
00:14:46,452 --> 00:14:47,919
It will be
a little while yet.

234
00:14:47,987 --> 00:14:49,147
Oh, there's no rush.

235
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:53,558
Let me know
when you get going.

236
00:14:53,626 --> 00:14:55,617
Why?

237
00:15:00,332 --> 00:15:02,596
Well, we like
to keep in touch...

238
00:15:04,270 --> 00:15:07,103
Just as you wish.

239
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:13,106
Keep me posted.

240
00:15:13,178 --> 00:15:17,308
Oh, see you
in Finch's later, Raymond?

241
00:15:17,383 --> 00:15:19,180
Will do, Maurice.

242
00:15:22,354 --> 00:15:25,846
[Gurgling]

243
00:15:27,693 --> 00:15:31,390
<i>(Maurice) I can't make her out.
Can you make her out?</i>

244
00:15:31,463 --> 00:15:32,930
<i>(Raymond)
She knows what she's doing.</i>

245
00:15:32,998 --> 00:15:34,522
Well, she must do,

246
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,431
or Randall
wouldn't have hired her.

247
00:15:36,502 --> 00:15:39,938
No, I mean as a <i>person.</i>

248
00:15:40,005 --> 00:15:41,632
You mean as a woman.

249
00:15:44,743 --> 00:15:49,578
After all, Raymond and I
did start this work on DNA.

250
00:15:49,648 --> 00:15:50,774
She seems to think

251
00:15:50,849 --> 00:15:53,283
that what she does
is none of my business.

252
00:15:53,352 --> 00:15:55,047
I think the way
she sees it,

253
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,520
she's been taken on to set up
an X-ray diffraction unit

254
00:15:57,589 --> 00:15:58,578
to work on DNA.

255
00:15:58,657 --> 00:16:01,387
And as far as that goes,
she's in charge.

256
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:05,226
Is that what
Randall told her?

257
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:07,492
I don't know.
Ask her.

258
00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:09,625
<i>Sort it out.</i>

259
00:16:09,702 --> 00:16:12,535
Man to man.

260
00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:16,402
Cheers, Bill.

261
00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:18,340
(Francis) There are two facts
you should know

262
00:16:18,410 --> 00:16:21,208
about our esteemed director,
Sir Lawrence Bragg.

263
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,248
I appoint myself
your native guide,

264
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:24,441
you understand.

265
00:16:24,516 --> 00:16:26,381
The first is that he's
the youngest person ever

266
00:16:26,452 --> 00:16:27,578
to win a Nobel Prize.

267
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:30,053
How young was he?
25.

268
00:16:30,122 --> 00:16:31,783
<i>Come here.</i>

269
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,484
The second fact is
that everybody thinks

270
00:16:36,562 --> 00:16:38,462
the great work
was done by his father.

271
00:16:38,530 --> 00:16:39,656
Bragg was just
too damn young

272
00:16:39,732 --> 00:16:41,222
to be winning
Nobel Prizes.

273
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:42,267
What's it to be,
Jim?

274
00:16:42,334 --> 00:16:43,801
Francis and I
have already fixed that.

275
00:16:43,869 --> 00:16:45,336
We're going after DNA.

276
00:16:45,404 --> 00:16:48,635
[Laughs] He'll have a beer, John.
Me too.

277
00:16:48,707 --> 00:16:50,504
(Max)
The structure of DNA—

278
00:16:50,576 --> 00:16:51,873
that's the work
of a lifetime.

279
00:16:51,944 --> 00:16:54,242
Max has been puzzling over
the structure of hemoglobin

280
00:16:54,313 --> 00:16:55,473
for—what is it, Max,
15 years?

281
00:16:55,547 --> 00:16:56,741
Come on, Jim.
Max?

282
00:16:56,815 --> 00:16:58,874
(Max) I think just an orange squash.
Thank you, John.

283
00:16:58,951 --> 00:17:00,976
I don't see why DNA
should take a lifetime.

284
00:17:01,053 --> 00:17:03,112
Maurice Wilkins says it has
a crystalline structure.

285
00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:04,780
You know Maurice?
Kind of.

286
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:06,256
We were at this conference
at Naples.

287
00:17:06,325 --> 00:17:07,724
Oh, I've known Maurice
since the war.

288
00:17:07,793 --> 00:17:08,725
That's how we do it.

289
00:17:08,794 --> 00:17:09,726
Here.

290
00:17:09,795 --> 00:17:11,626
<i>Ah, the mighty Linus Pauling.</i>

291
00:17:11,697 --> 00:17:12,686
He didn't take a lifetime.

292
00:17:12,765 --> 00:17:13,925
One brilliant guess
and zappo,

293
00:17:13,999 --> 00:17:15,261
he discovers
the alpha-helix.

294
00:17:15,334 --> 00:17:17,325
One brilliant guess,
plus a lifetime's knowledge.

295
00:17:17,403 --> 00:17:18,563
Plus, he's a genius.

296
00:17:18,637 --> 00:17:20,161
Bragg was hopping mad
over missing that.

297
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:21,536
Hopping.
Cheers.

298
00:17:21,607 --> 00:17:23,040
That's how we get DNA.
We build a model.

299
00:17:23,108 --> 00:17:24,336
Then I think
you should consider

300
00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:26,469
obtaining
some data first.

301

Maurice Wilkins
has data on DNA.

303
00:17:30,015 --> 00:17:31,277
Does he
build models?

304
00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:33,181
Oh, not Maurice's style.
Too showy.

305
00:17:33,252 --> 00:17:34,184
Then he won't mind

306
00:17:34,253 --> 00:17:35,743
if we have a go,
will he?

307
00:17:35,821 --> 00:17:37,083
We're having a go,
are we?

308
00:17:37,156 --> 00:17:40,353
Why not?
Why not?

309
00:17:40,426 --> 00:17:42,860
