The third physicist, Johann Wilhelm Möbius, is different, he does not have a second identity but he is in this sanatorium because King Solomon speaks to him. We enter the show when many men are in the saloon. It is the site of a tragedy as Mr. Ernesti strangled a nurse. Mr. Beutler also killed a nurse a couple of months ago. The inspector is a little annoyed because he has to visit Les Cerisiers a second time in a short period of time and because he cannot talk to or take the murderer away. He also expresses the public prosecutor's desire that the sanatorium be taken over by nurses due to the two murders of the two physicists. Over the course of the show, the personal and physical change is perceptible. Both the main characters and the environment are changing.
