The Black Mirror Hints
How can I get the sedative into the beer?
1 of 9: You won't be able to open the beer bottle to do it.
2 of 9: You'll have to find a way to get it inside the bottle without making it look like the bottle has been tampered with.
3 of 9: You'll have to make (and use) a very small hole in the cork.
4 of 9: How is sedative usually injected into a patient? (With the "patient" here being a beer bottle.)
5 of 9: Doctors and nurses usually use a syringe. (This is another reason why the sedative can't just be poured into the beer bottle -- the sedative bottle was made to have its contents extracted by a syringe.)
6 of 9: So find yourself a nice, clean syringe. There weren't any in the medicine cabinet inside, so you'll have to look outside.
7 of 9: Improbably enough, a perfectly clean syringe was thrown away recently.
8 of 9: To find it, examine the dustbin to the right of the boiler room door. The second time you click on it, Samuel will find the syringe and take it.
9 of 9: Use the syringe on the sedative bottle to fill it, then use the syringe on the beer bottles to drug the one the worker is most likely to grab next.
