The Black Mirror Hints
How do I remove the cable?
1 of 7: Samuel won't be able to move the cable while power is still on.
2 of 7: Have you tried turning the power off again? You can still click on the power button to the right of the lever gadget, though you can no longer get a close-up of the levers.
3 of 7: However, even though you can safely handle the cable with the power off, you still have no way of cutting it. The trusty old chess piece knife won't work for this.
4 of 7: You need to find a more suitable tool somewhere in the room.
5 of 7: Search the shelves in the little side room.
6 of 7: Near the bottom of the left set of shelves is a metal box you can search to find some wire cutters. Perfect! (NOTE: You can only search the metal box when the power is on.)
7 of 7: Turn the power back off and click the wire cutters on that trouble-making cable. That's that!
