How To Get Outside
As soon as you’re able to move,make your way over to Lynneto find out what happened. you may reach her from themotor on the ceiling of the room below you, via the doctor’s bag. After the conversation, you’ll head back four minutes to prevent her from being shot.
Listen to the thought bubble at the top of the screen - Lynne will suggestgoing outside via the telephoneto find the gunman before he fires. Before you go,listen to past Lynneto trigger the patrol officer entering the building. While he’s on the phone, you canlisten into get the number for the Chicken Kitchen.
Upon arriving at the phone, you’ll discover that youcan’t travel normally via telephone lineswhile you’re in the past. Advance the conversation until Lynne walks to the right side of the room, out of frame. When she does,swivel the desk lamp and turn it onto draw the officer’s attention to the hidden notebook. He’ll call the detectives in the junkyard; while the phone is actively being used, you can travel through it (but only to the phone on the other end). Luckily, that happens to be exactly where you need to go!
Choose to go outside to the Junkyard, where you’ll be greeted by Ray. Make your way over to him once the conversation ends, then to the folding cot above him. Close the cot, thenuse the flagto reach the top level the same way you did in Chapter One:turn the blender on, then activate the fan and quickly switch to the flag before it starts blowing.
At the top, you’ll find yourself in a searchlight withno objects close enough to reach.Keep the light on (it will turn back on later even if you switch it off), andwait for Cabanela to pass on the bike.When he does,stop timeand catch a ride in the pedals. Be careful with your timing, as he’s fast!
The best way to catch Cabanela is tomove the camera to the leftafter the indication that Time Is Passing; that way, you’ll be able to see him approach.
When Cabanela gets off the bike,enter the vanto make One-Step-Ahead Tengo reveal himself. Once he does,open the van door.You can now use it to reach the searchlight on top of the van;use it to blind Tengo, forcing him to find another spot from which to shoot. Be sure that youdon’t turn it back off, or Tengo will return later.
