Part 5: Family Division

Begin by inspecting the bike to learn that it’s out of fuel and needs its wiring fixed.
Grab one of the canisters lying near the quartermaster’s office.
Look with the mouse in the cage, then interact with it to grab her.

In your inventory, put Agent M in the canister.
Go to the far left of the screen to find a tube dispatch machine.
Put the canister in the machine’s loading bay.
Push the lever down, and then press the green button.

Go back to near the tube dispatch machine and pick up the fuel tank that’s lying in the junk.
Go to the blue car and inspect its empty front.
Use your wiring kit on the rubber tubing.
Use the rubber tubing on the fuel inlet, which is just to the right of the empty front.

Use the empty fuel tank on the rubber tubing to fill it with fuel.
Use the fuel tank on the motorbike, and then use the wiring kit on the motorbike.
Interact with the motorbike to get going.

Next, you’ll be chasing the Reuss Express.
Open your inventory and open the gadget bag in it.
Interact with the incendiary pencils to take one out.

Use the wiring kit on the single incendiary pencil.
Use the gunpowder with the empty fuel tank.
Finally, give the fuel tank to April.

Several sequences follow, and then you’ll be able to switch between Diana and Arthur.
Switch to Arthur and interact with Arthur’s ropes.
Speak to either of the twins and ask to help resolve an argument.
Mention that Herman beating them at a staring contest.

Open your inventory and use Agent M on Diana.
In the next segment, you’ll control Arthur. Ask any questions you like, and then quit the conversation.
In the segment after that, you can once again switch between Arthur and Diana.
Switch to Diana and after the conversation with Bergmann, use the deactivated truth serum on the financial records.
Talk to Bergmann and exhaust all the dialog possible with him.
This done, look at the whistle cord that’s above Bergmann.

Switch to Arthur and pick up a lump of coal from where Arthur is sitting.
Pull out the lump of coal from your inventory and when Jian Liu is reloading, throw it at him. (Arthur will not throw the coal if Liu isn’t reloading).
Quickly switch to Diana and use the whistle cord.
Then, pull out an incendiary pencil in your inventory and use the single pencil on the train’s firebox.
