Attach the valve to the faucet and use the bucket to collect water. Use one bucket of water to splash onto the prisoner, use another to fill up the vent on the ground, and one to extinguish the burning oil stuff. The vent gets you a clamp and the extinguished ashes get you an iron wire.
Use the clamp on the prisoner’s other nipple and use the iron wire to connect the second group of exposed wires.
Turn the knobs up, right, up, left to turn on the power for electrocuting the prisoner. Once you electrocute him, he’ll start talking and give you an achievement.

After taping the wires, turn the knobs up, right, up, up, right.
This will illuminate the room and give us the code. Going back to the prisoner, the pictures match up with his tattoos, which have designated numbers. The code in the end is: 4195.
Give the newly acquired timepiece to Laura’s soul and put in the code on the wall. Watch the clock inside spin faster and faster until it finally cracks. After clicking the timepiece one final time, it is time to go with Laura’s soul. No time or ticket is required for this.
End:
