  2. Film Reel "The Silent Children". In the toilet stall in the restrooms (Easy/Normal) or behind the seats in the showing room (Hard).
  3. Film Reel "The Secret of the Attic". In the film storage room (enter from the projector room).
Fix the projector

Enter the projector room to receive the side quest's objective. The projector's missing a light bulb which you need to find to get it working. Search around the room to find the Film Splicing Guidelines sticked to the wall. The door to the left of the projector is locked - you need to obtain a code for the keypad to open it. On Easy the Replacement Bulb is found in the poster storage room at the back of the theater. On Normal and Hard you need to go outside to collect the bulb. Head towards St. Maria’s Monastery and enter the hardware store to the east of the monastery. The Replacement Bulb is on the shelf just behind the counter. When you get the bulb, return to the projector room of the Movie Theater and insert the Replacement Bulb.

  2. "The Silent Children". Move through the room to find the next two digits (24) on the wall by the ladder.
