Chapter 3: Paris: A Dance with Bijou

The map appears automatically, so travel to the:

Gallery:

You're George ... Nico didn't come. 

Go inside and ...... clowns Navet and Moue are already inside and are busy repairing the Navet machine of Navet . Hector Laine is also present.  You have to wait until Navet has noticed George. George then tells Navet that Shears is the murderer and thief but the idiot Navet of course does not believe it. George has to wait patiently until Nico and priest Simeon have arrived. 

So go and talk to fat guy Laine, about anything and everything, but mainly ask him about the provenance documents of the "La Malediccio" painting.

Laine refers George to the cheerful widow Bijou, who lied to George when she said she knew nothing about Henri's affairs. 

So George wants to go back to the merry widow to have a good conversation with her. Try to leave the gallery .... but Navet does not allow George to leave. Go talk to Navet and ask him now about his machine ..... George thinks he can repair the machine faster than Navet and Moue, but Navet is very skeptical about it and rejects it. When you're done with idiot Navet it's time for some emergency measures. Behind Moue you can see the electrical wire from the machine along the plinth. Walk to the left and see .... the machine plugs into the socket. Click with your gear on the Plug to pull the thing out of the socket.

Walk back to Navet and talk to him again and use the machine topic again to ask the fool if he plugged in the machine. Navet sees that the plug is disconnected and walks towards it and George now gets the chance to mess with the machine. You are then in the close-up of the machine's power box. 

  • There are 5 levers ... there is a light above each lever. You can click the levers on and off. 
  • When a lever is On, the light turns green. If a lever is Off, the light is red.
  • All 5 lights must therefore turn green, so you must click all 5 levers to On.
  • But the levers influence each other, so you have to click the levers in the right order. 
  • Number the levers, from left to right, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 
  • When you start, the levers 1, 4 and 5 are On and the levers 2 and 3 are Off. 

Click the levers in this order: 1, 5, 4 and 3 and then click on the Power button and ..... solved ....

You automatically go out of close-up because Navet's machine is now starting. Navet starts scanning the ketchup spot with his machine .... Moue points out to Navet that a corpse is really needed for a good reconstruction and Navet points to George to figure for a corpse, but George needs to be more like Henri appear. Nico and Simeon finally arrive and a short conversation with Nico follows.

George has to disguise himself a bit so that he looks a bit like Henri when he goes to lie down on the floor in front of a corpse. Go through the office door to Henri's office. We had already noticed that the naked statue in the office is a model of Henri. The statue is wearing Henri's glasses and a fig leaf for its noble part. We already know that if we click the fig leaf up, a drawer slides open, in the base, that holds the safe but we still don't have the key to that safe. Click with your eye on the head of the statue (Henri's Head), so that George sees the glasses and recognizes the glasses as Henri's glasses. Then take the glasses with your hand.

Leave the office and talk to Navet again and tell him that you now have Henri's glasses and .......... the reconstruction begins ... George puts on Henri's glasses and lies down on the floor and Simeon bows over George ...... Click with your mouth on Simeon to talk to him. Use the topics "Gnostics", "La Malediccio", "Ouroboros", "Saints" and the "Hobbs" Sketch here and listen to what the priest tells us all about this .....

George shows the priest the Hobbs sketch and this frightens the priest a lot and ....... the reconstruction is over ...... after this a movie will follow .........a new guy comes on the scene, who introduced himself as Richard Langham from the serious crime division of Interpol. Langham is English and he takes George and Nico to the cafe to continue chatting while enjoying a cup of coffee.

George and Nico tell Langham what they have discovered so far ....... Langham on the other hand does not give much information back .... Langham then disappears and Nico and George talk a little more and then the map appears. Well .... George wants to test Henri's cheerful widow, so travel to Bijou's apartment.

Bijou:

Click on the intercom again .... George reports to Bijou who then presses her buzzer,  so click on the door and George ends up again at the merry widow ....

... the air is filled with incense and alcohol. Bijou sits at her dressing table and it is quiet because we no longer hear her favorite number. Talk to Bijou ......

the record with the favorite song from Bijou and Henri is broken and she asks if George can help with a new melody. Ask Bijou further about that Song .... the title of the song is "Jasmine" and Henri was the singer. George promises that he will do his best to give Bijou a new "Jasmine" song. Ask Bijou also about the "Provenance" ....... Bijou says that all papers are in the safe of the gallery. So ask further about the Safe Key ....... Bijou has the safe key but she does not want to hand it over. George will first have to deliver a new "Jasmine" song to Bijou. 

The broken record  is lying on the floor near the sofa ... view the Broken Record with your eye ..... the record can not be repaired. 

Exit the apartment and find the map and go back to the:

Vera Security:

Bassam has opened its stall again. With your eye, click the stuff on the Bassam booth ..... Bassam invites George to take a closer look at his stuff and you get your eye on the orange basket where "Musical Greeting Cards" are inserted.
View those "Musical greeting cards" ..... they are cards that make a tune when you open them ..... 

Talk to Bassam about those "Musical Greeting Cards" via the "Song" topic ........ and ..... George gets the music card from Bassam that plays the "Jasmine" song. Close the conversation screen and then open the inventory and right click on that "Musical Card"  and ..... the card plays a short piece of the "Jasmine" song. Travel back to Bijou's Apartment:

Bijou:

Click the intercom again and go through the door to the apartment again. Click with the "Music card" on Bijou to let her hear the melody and ...... George puts the card on the record player and ........ Bijou gets in a kind of trance and she wants George to go dancing with her ..... Bijou thinks that George is Henri ...... Click with your mouth on Bijou to talk to her .....

Bijou then comes out of her trance and sees that she's not holding Henri but George in her arms .... well .... that would frighten every girl ...... use the "Song", the "Provenance" and the "Safe Key" topic .... Bijou, however, only wants to dance .... with Henri. So close the conversation screen ..... Well ... to get what he wants George will have to imitate Henri ..... In inventory you already have Henri's Eau de Toilette and his Glasses ..... now the rest ...... Walk to the right .... Henri's body is laid out in the coffin. On the left wall is a table and on that table is a Stuffed Dog

A white flower is stuck in the button hole of Henri's jacket. Look at the Stuffed Dog with your eye .... the fur of the dog reminds George of Henri's hair. Walk back to the dressing table of Bijou and zoom in on it with your magnifying glass .... you get various click spots on various things ..... for now ... find the Wax Strips and then grab such a strip.

Get up again and walk back to the coffin and then use the Wax Strip on the stuffed dog to get some of the dog's hair that can serve as facial hair.

Now also take the White Flower from Henri's button hole. 

Go back to the dressing table and zoom in again. George sits down again at the dressing table. It's time to turn George into Henri .... a photo of what Henri looked like is under the mirror. You see George in the mirror. Click with your eye on the Eyes of George and listen to his comment. Take the glasses from inventory and click with them, in the mirror, on George's eyes and ..... George puts the glasses on. Find the jar of Brown Eye Shadow and then click on it with your gears and ..... George dyes his hair brown. Take the strip with the Waxed Dog Hairs from inventory and click it on George's mouth to give him a Henri mustache and beard ....

Take the white flower from inventory and click the flower on the "Button Hole" spot of George's neck .... Then spray the Eau de Toilette on George's neck and .....

well ..... watch the dance of George and Bijou on the Jasmine song ...

during the dance George gets the key to the gallery and the safe key from Bijou and ..... Bijou finally falls exhausted in deep sleep on the sofa . George leaves and has a meeting with priest Simeon on the terrace of the cafč. Simeon warns George. Continue to talk to the priest about "Tablet Veritalis", "La Malediccio" and "Ouroboros" and all the follow-up options you get .....

Simeon now tells the entire history of the Khatars and the Gnostics sect. The "Tabula Veritaris is the" Table of Truth ". The" Khatars "are a religious group. The Gnostics is a collective name for various religious movements within early Christianity and they have devil Lucifer as their god. The Gnostics want to help Lucifer regain world domination. "Ouroboros" means "Tail-eater" and it is an alchemy symbol and one of the oldest mythical symbols in the world.

Gallery:

When you are finished talking with Simeon you walk on to the gallery. Use Bijou's keys on the front door to get in and enter the office again.

Click the Fig Leave, of the stones Henri, up again to slide open the secret drawer in the base and then zoom in on the safe in the drawer.

Use Bijou's keys on the Keyhole of the safe to open the safe. In the safe we ​​find a Diamond Ring and a document folder with a Post-Itt note on it.

Take the Post-itt note .... it's from Hobbs and it says "Cherí ... this will do the trick, your darling Wilfy" Bijou and Hobbs were apparently intimate with each other. 

Take the Paperwork from the safe ...

in the Paperwork Folder is the Provenance..... the Provenance designates Medovsky as the rightful owner of the "La Malediccio" painting but George does not trust it and he wants to investigate the document further and for this he puts the document on the desk. If you click with your hand on the Provenance document, you turn it a quarter turn. 

Take the Hobb's Sketch from inventory and click it on the Provenance document ...... George places the sketch next to the Provenance on the desk .... you can also turn the sketch. Now turn both documents over, so that they end up on the head and ..... on both documents there is half of a coffee stain circle and, if you turn both documents on the head, the two halves of the circle melt together to 1 circle.......

George concludes that the Provenance was forged by Hobbs .... You go out of the close-up and .... we hear a shot ... a gun has been fired in the gallery .... try to leave the office through the door .....but  the door is blocked on the other side. The window is the only way out, but when you click on the window, George find out that he cannot open the window or break it

Click on Henri's Fig Leaf again to open the safe drawer and zoom in on the safe again. Open the safe again with Bijou's keys and now grab the Diamond Ring from the safe .... the ring has an inscription "Henri and Bijou Forever" .... the ring was bought by Henri for Bijou. Get out of the close-up and use the Ring on the window and ...... 

George cut the window with the diamond and then crawls out through the window. Use Bijou's keys again on the front door of the gallery to go back inside and ....... Simeon is dying against the office door ..... Simeon has been shot and there is no hope left for the priest, who speaks his last words ... Take the Papers from the right hand of the corpse ....

... you go in the close-up of the document ... You can click on 3 spots with your eye and you should do that too. Also click with you eye on the "Cover Note", top left .... it is in Latin but luckily George knows his classical languages. Read the "Manuscript" and this too is Latin but George translates it for you. Also click on the illustration in the Manuscript ... George tells what he sees in the illustration. Then find the "Second Passage" spot and click that spot to continue to the 2nd passage and George will read it aloud too

When you have clicked on all the slick spots on the document, then close the close-up and ..... Hector Laine enters the gallery and thinks George killed the priest ..... George gets a "call" from Nico who is in a panic because something has happened to Tiago. George then runs off to Nico, who is in the apartment of her neighbors, where she has left hat old Tiago. George informs Nico of the murder of the priest,

Neighbors apartment:

The room has been searched and Tiago has disappeared. You are still George. There is blood on the floor and the carpet is a mess. There is a coin collection on the cupboard and there are also coins hanging on the wall. View everything with your eye ..... between the mess on the rug George finds the old family photo of Tiago and he puts the photo in his pockets. George finds Tiago's medallion under the fallen chair. George finds a Postcard from Tiago among the cushions on the sofa. On the postcard we see a "Human Pyramid" and with red ink Tiago has written "Saints?" and "Judas" and "Magdeline" on it.

Click with your eye on "Saints", on "Judas" and on "Magdeline" and listen to what George says about it and then close the close-up ..... 

Nico then comes back and a conversation follows ... ..George now suspects that the "La Malediccio" painting is sort of a map. 

Nico then gets a call from Navet .... Navet is coming to arrest George and Nico and George flee to the flower shop of Fleur

Flower shop:

Nico sees that Moue is talking to Adam, Nico's neighbor. George is going to talk to Fleur, the manager of the flower shop that we still know from the previous Broken Swords. Fleur gives George a ball of blue wool (Yarn). Adam then comes in and introduces himself to George. Adam can't enter his flat because Navet is busy investigating it, so Adam sits down on the stool. Adam has put on the headphones of his CD player and has placed the CD player on Fleur's counter.

Look at the CD Player and then talk to Adam ...... Adam does not know what the cops are looking for in his flat and he says he went to a coin auction today. Talk to Adam about Adam, Nico and his CD player and then click on the Coin, which George stole from the house of Medovsky ........ 

George shows the coin to Adam who becomes very lyrical about it ... 

George gives the coin to Adam who then disappears to his flat but leaves his CD player on the counter.

Zoom in on the CD Player, then press the Stop button and then the Eject button, and then take the CD out of the player.

Get out of the close-up. On the right side of the counter stand the stereo of Fleur ... Put Adam's CD in the stereo, and after George has asked permission of Fleur,.....

......the CD plays the sound of running water but unfortunately .... Moue, who is outside, does not hear it and therefore does not get any need to go relief himself. George has to come up with something else to have Moue leave his post. On the floor, in front of the counter, is a basket of flowers. Take a bunch of Flowers from the basket .....

The right wall is full of boxes ..... examine the boxes with your eye and ..... between the boxes George sees a plastic "Manneken Pis" statue 

Take the "Manneken Pis" 

Fleur says that the "Manneken Pis" can be filled with water. But if water can go into the "Manneken Pis" then you can also pour another liquid into it, so combine the Whiskey bottle with the "Manneken Pis" in inventory to fill it with whiskey. However, the Manneken also needs batteries ......... Zoom in on Adam's CD player and click the Eject button again to open the player. Then open the battery compartment cover and take the batteries out.

Step out of the close-up again and combine the Batteries with the "Manneken Pis" in inventory ...... 

Take the now "operational" Manneken Pis" from inventory and place it in Fleur's Flower Trolley and click then with your gears on the trolley and .....

 well ... see what happens ......

George pushes the cart outside ... Moue sees the pissing Manneken and gets a heavy urge from it ...

Moue leaves his post to go pee and because of this George and Nico manage to escape and we end up in the street of Bijou .....

Bijou:

Use the intercom again and, when Bijou has pressed her buzzer again, go through the front door again. Talk to Bijou twice about "Hobbs" and about the "Provenance" ..... Bijou denies that she knows Hobbs and that the Provenance is a fake. Then click on the "Hobbs' Note" to confront Bijou with it and ........ But Bijou perseveres in her denials .. Use the "Hobbs" and the "Provenance" topics again and then the "Henri" topic.... George gives Bijou the diamond ring that Henri had bought for her and Bijou is then prepared to answer George questions, so ask her everything you can ask now .......

Bijou then tells about the existence of a secret room in Hobbs's studio and she also says that the real "La Malediccio" painting is hidden "behind my behind" ......

George and Nico travel back to London:
