Metal: It says "202: Freddy & Lisa Nielsen"

LOOK > DOOR

Metal: The door has a peephole.

INVESTIGATE > PLATE

Metal: There's no mistake. This is definitely Nielsen's apartment.

INVESTIGATE > DOOR

Metal: The door is locked.

KNOCK

Metal: I wonder if somebody's in there...

What, again? Seems like no one in the game answers there door at the first knock.l

KNOCK

Metal: There is no answer. Maybe no one's home.

TALK

Gillian: Hey in there! Open up! I'm a Junker! I've got a few questions to ask you!
Metal: ...There's no answer, is there.

Suddenly, Metal sounds an alarm.

In order to unlock the next scene, you have to keep KNOCKing and TALKing until:

Gillian: I'm a Junker! Open the door!
????: Huh?

Who's there?

Lisa: Yes it is.
Gillian: And you are...
Lisa: I'm his wife. Exactly what can I do for you?

LOOK > LISA

Gillian: Hmmmm. Pretty good looking...
Lisa: Well, investigator, you have good taste in women.

LOOK > AROUND ROOM

Metal: It's a rather nice room, well-kept and tidy.

LOOK > WALL

Metal: What's this? There's some kind of map on the wall.
Gillian: This map just doesn't seem to go with the rest of the interior, does it. [sic]

Lisa: Freddy? Freddy a SNATCHER? That's ridiculous!!

Lisa: He's out right now. I'm not sure what time he'll be back.

INVESTIGATE > AROUND ROOM

Metal: I don't see anything unusual.

INVESTIGATE > MAP

Moscow? Weird...

Gillian: Moscow, huh? That place has been little more than a ghost town since the Catastrophe.
Metal: Yes, but this map was no doubt produced before the Catastrophe.

INVESTIGATE > MAP

Metal: The map is marked in one spot. It says "Kremlin".

ASK > ABOUT FREDDY

Gillian: Have you noticed anything strange about your husband lately?
Lisa: well, now that you mention it, lately he hasn'ty been in the mood to, well, uh, you know.

Gillian: Walks... at night?

ASK > ABOUT FREDDY > HEALTH

Gillian: Have you noticed any changes in your husband's body or health lately?

Gillian: How about his skin? Anything odd?
Lisa: His skin? Well, I haven't seen much of it lately, but I'm sure it's fine.

ASK > ABOUT FREDDY > OCCUPATION

Gillian: Your husband is a taxi driver, right? Is it one of those underground cabs? A black taxi?
Lisa: Are you trying to frighten me?
Gillian: So it is a black taxi, right?
Lisa: ...yes. He drives a black taxi. But so what? They will probably be legalized in April, right? So what's the problem?
Gillian: That's not what we're worried about, ma'am. If your husband is a black taxi driver, then there are no records of his working hours, right? In other words, the only way to establish an alibi for him is to use a by [sic] the testimony of others.

ASK > ABOUT FREDDY > ALIBI

Gillian: Are you sure about that?

LOOK > BATHTUB

Metal: It's filled with water.
Gillian: There's something funny about this bathtub...
