Not even they know exactly what happened during the professor's last experiment; he claims to have lost all memory of it, and Tereza can't - or won't - reveal what she knows. But somehow it killed a squad of soldiers, a general, two congressmen, the Secretary of War, and Mrs. Skovajsová, Tereza's mother. They're both still shaking from the trauma. Meanwhile, rumor has spread that the professor was working on a secret weapon that would end all wars, and still has a prototype hidden away.
