Talk to the girl. Listen to what she tells you. Try everything numberous times. HINT maybe if you bang on the bars the lock will shatter. Make sure you examine everything in...under...ect. If an option seems a little silly sometimes that's the one to choose. Make sure you do the Zombie's cell last. You will need something to defend yourself against him. Good Luck
