Stalker
Happiness for a Stalker just released from prison is to lead him to the Others' Room. This time he leads the Professor (Grinko), a researcher-physicist, and the Writer (Solonitsyn) in a creative and personal crisis. The three of them penetrate through the cordons into the Zone. The stalker leads the group carefully, in a roundabout way, probing the way with nuts. Phlegmatic Professor trusts him. The Skeptical Writer, on the contrary, behaves defiantly, and, it seems, does not really believe in the Zone and its "traps", although the meeting with inexplicable phenomena somewhat convinces him. The characters of the heroes are revealed in their dialogues and monologues, in the thoughts and dreams of the Stalker. The group passes the Zone and on the threshold of the Room it turns out that the Professor was carrying a small, 20-kiloton bomb with him, with which he intends to destroy the Room - a potential fulfiller of the desires of any despot, psychopath, scoundrel. The shocked Stalker tries to stop the Professor with his fists. The writer believes that the Room still does not fulfill well-thought-out wishes, but subconscious, petty, shameful ones. (But, perhaps, there is no fulfillment of desires at all.) The professor ceases to understand "why then go to her at all", unscrews and throws out the bomb. They are returning.
