Look close at the shiny thing on the ground. Click to clear the area around the
object. Look again it is a pressure triggered mine. Neutralize the mine by leaving
something heavy on it.
Metal detector: Set the metal detector setting to 1. Move the cursor over the
area in front of the new gate on the kitchen steps. See sound icons on some
spots.
Take the metal detector on inventory and use it on that area. Vic might say if it is
a mine or not.
Clear that area to expose the mine plate. Do this to all active spots with sound
icons. There are 3 mines in front of the gate.
Neutralize the mines:
Any tripped mine is automatically disabled. (Alternative - So you can trip them,
use first aid to heal and work on the others or neutralize them with heavy objects
or a mix of both.)
There is no storage area here. To empty unnecessary items, enter the shelter
hatch again and go to the storage cabinet at right hallway. Leave the string with
magnet and the metallic pipe. Arrange the inventory squares.
Go to the hallway in front of Paloma's cell and take the ventilation grate from the
floor. Go back up to the backyard. Place it on one of the 3 mines.

to a box at bottom right beside the computer.
Go back to living room and take the reflectors. Go back to the lab.
Place the reflector on the stand at the middle of the green laser's path.

room.
Go to the room left of the ventilation fan.
Use Hawker's electronic key on the lock left of the door.
Enter and see Paloma.
Hawker's video starts. He says that he's not done with you. Vic has one chance to
save Paloma or else she will be electrocuted. The cameras will record and
broadcast it through the internet. Vic has no second chance of saving if she fails. If
this were a video game, he programmed it to have no try again.
Timer starts. No saved game possible if you fail.
Timer stops when in inventory screen. Use it wisely.
Solution 1:
- Go behind the electric chair. Look down at the box on the pipe bringing
electricity to the chair.
- Look close at the box. Vic says there is no time so she needs to shoot it open.
Pull back and fire at it.
- The cover flies off. Look close at the open box. It is an electric dimmer and Vic
says it needs to be blocked. She needs insulating material to not be electrocuted
in the process.
- Look close at the cover and see that it is foam insulated.
- Use the metal cutter on the right side of the cover to get foam insulation.
- Use foam insulation on the dimmer. The dimmer is blocked.
- Go to Paloma, look close and use Vic's pick gun on the leg and hand shackles.
- If you do not have Vic's pick gun, find out that Hawker's pick gun is unusable. In
inventory combine Hawker's pick gun with copper strip to get a functional pick
gun. Thanks, Pavel.
Solution 2: Thanks Bernard.
- Combine cutting pliers and electric wire coil to get 1 piece of wire.

- Combine 1 piece of wire with alligator clips to get electric wire with clips.
- Use electric wire with pliers on one of Paloma's shackles.
- Use Vic's pick gun on shackle with electric wire with pliers. This opens the
shackle with no harm to Paloma.
- If you do not have Vic's pick gun, find out that Hawker's pick gun is unusable. In
inventory combine Hawker's pick gun with copper strip to get a functional pick
gun. Thanks, Pavel.
- Do this until all the shackles are done.
- If the wire runs out, use the pick gun directly on last shackle. Paloma gets
buzzed.
Paloma is freed. <wipe brow>
Wrong attempt: If you try to remove all of Paloma's shackles with pick gun
directly, electricity goes through and the amount of electricity rises with every
attempt. After 2 attempts, Paloma gets electrocuted.
If you fail: There is no second chance as Hawker stated. Old saved games can
be played up to the part of entering Paloma's room but there is no scene to
replay; just the cutscene of the electrocution of Paloma.
Go to main menu and see a red question mark. Click the question mark and is
given a second chance. Thanks, Bernard.
Using your keyboard, enter a password to get another try in rescuing Paloma. The
password is the killer's obsession: veronicalake. Click OK.

Bomb: The timer starts. There is another Hawker surprise.
Paloma panics. Vic says that Paloma works on the computer finding a way to open
the hatch while she takes care of the trap.
- Go to the power box left of the door. Open it and see that it is burned. The
keypad is still intact.
- Take the keypad.
- Exit the room. Look at the lock box of the cabinet right of the door.
- Use the keypad on the box.
- Look close at keypad. Enter the Nemesis code number: A64571, then OK.
- Pull back and open the cabinet. See a bomb.
- Click on the gray box in between the red and green fluid container. It looks like it
is connected to the countdown clock and is a switch. She needs to interrupt the
flow at certain point.
- See the numbered electric wires going through the system.
- Click on the ammeter at bottom left. Vic says that 24 milliamps passes through
and maybe to lower it might be a chance to get out of here alive.
- Use the cutting pliers on the wires that total 24. Cut 7, 1 and 16.
The bomb - it hasn't exploded. Help arrives.
