The Black Mirror Hints
The cell area is guarded! How do I get past the doctor on duty?
1 of 12: Take him off duty.
2 of 12: Who might be in charge of the duty roster?
3 of 12: Most likely, the head nurse. Try talking to her about it. (To get back to the lobby, go back outside through the boiler room and then around the building.)
4 of 12: She'll see no harm in giving you a copy of the duty schedule, which should say who that guy guarding the cells is, but how are you going to decoy him off? Simply walking up to him with the duty schedule and telling him to scram isn't going to work.
5 of 12: He won't leave his post unless he's needed elsewhere.
6 of 12: Most likely, he'll respond to an emergency call, particularly if it's directed to him.
7 of 12: Did you notice an intercom on the wall of the rear boiler room?
8 of 12: Why not fake an intercom call?
9 of 12: There's an intercom right next to the notice board.
10 of 12: Now... how to "transfer" the information we got from the duty schedule into a viable intercom message...
11 of 12: How did we transfer the information about the lift generator in the old mine to the generator itself?
12 of 12: Use the duty schedule on the intercom so Samuel will be able to decoy the doc away from guard duty, leaving the patient cell hallway free to explore.
