The side quest takes place in the Movie Theater on Lamon Street, west of the Centennial Building. Enter the building and begin your search for the quest related items.

Find the film reels
First you need to find three film reels (exact location depends on your chosen puzzle difficulty):

  1. Film Reel "The House on the Lake". On a coat check counter in the lobby (Easy/Normal) or in the small room behind a concession counter (Hard).
  2. Film Reel "The Silent Children". In the toilet stall in the restrooms (Easy/Normal) or behind the seats in the showing room (Hard).
  3. Film Reel "The Secret of the Attic". In the film storage room (enter from the projector room).

Fix the projector
Enter the projector room to receive the side quest's objective. The projector's missing a light bulb which you need to find to get it working. Search around the room to find the Film Splicing Guidelines sticked to the wall. The door to the left of the projector is locked - you need to obtain a code for the keypad to open it. On Easy the Replacement Bulb is found in the poster storage room at the back of the theater. On Normal and Hard you need to go outside to collect the bulb. Head towards St. Maria’s Monastery and enter the hardware store to the east of the monastery. The Replacement Bulb is on the shelf just behind the counter. When you get the bulb, return to the projector room of the Movie Theater and insert the Replacement Bulb.

Play a flim / Examine the screen
To learn the code to the locked door you need to play the three film reels, enter the scenes through the screen and find digits that makes the code. The order in which you play the reels is indicated by the attached notes (examine from the inventory):

  1. "The House on the Lake". Enter the house, go down the hallway past the stairs and through the door ahead. The first digit (9) is written on the wall to the right. Return to the entrance to exit the film.
  2. "The Silent Children". Move through the room to find the next two digits (24) on the wall by the ladder.
  3. "The Secret of the Attic". The last digit (1) is written on the window of the attic.

The whole code after you put together all the digits gonna be 9241. Enter the code and go into the room.

Open the attic trunk
Use the film splicer in the room to combine the three film reels into a single one. Place the Spliced Reel into the projector and run down to the screen to enter the last film. This film contains locations from all three reels. Enter the house, move past the stairs and enter the room to your left. Take a Wooden Crank from the window sill. Continue through the door at the end of hallway and then through another door. Get to the table by the window with a box on top of it. Attach the Wooden Crank to open the box. Collect a Key and climb the ladder in the corner of the room. Move through the attic to the window and use the Key to open the chest by the windows. The chest contains a Golden Gun and 2 boxes of Pistol Bullets. Return to the Movie Theater through a point of entrance to complete the quest.
