Meanwhile, back in Bologna, by this time Levi et al. are becoming very suspicious, because the unit they are testing suddenly stopped working, or when they brought it to the lab it did not work. This cannot end well. Sooner or later they open the cell, look at it for a minute or two and they realize they have been had. How long would it take for a chemist to recognize equipment used to ignite hydrogen peroxide? Pretty soon the Italian police are tearing down the walls of the other building to reveal the hidden 50-ton tank. There is absolutely, positively, no way this kind of scam would work outside of a 5th rate thriller. Also, you can safely dismiss the possibility that Levi or Essen do not understand how to open and close a faucet, by the way. - Jed
