    Louis’ phone

    Episode 01 · Episode 02 · Episode 03

    Episode 01

    Louis gets his phone back after Felicity’s first call to the hall telephone. From then on it is his camera as well as his phone. Todd wants a photo of Felicity, and a sexy one: only a picture of her bending over will do, and it earns Louis a pack of cigarettes. Later Goodman asks to see the painting in Louis’ house, and Louis drives home to photograph it. Only a close-up will satisfy him.

    Showing Goodman the photograph of “Island of the Dead” ends the episode. “Yes, indeed it is. So he was right; it IS in your house.”

    Episode 02

    Louis has left his phone at the Bellevue Hotel’s reception, and Archibald gives it back. With Goodman’s business card he can call Goodman’s office, where the secretary says that Mister Goodman left on a business trip a week ago. That call is the only lead Louis has, and it sends him to Goodman’s warehouse by subway. A message from Felicity is waiting on the phone: “But where are you Louis? I had no news from you for days!”

    Episode 03

    Six months later the phone is in Louis’ pocket at the start of the episode, with its screen smashed. It no longer works.

    What Louis says

    His lines when you examine it in the inventory, as the game writes them. Turning the 3D model over can give a line for its front and one for its back.

    Trivia

    • Its screen shows the date, 23/03/2010, and the time: 11:12.
    • Anna’s phone is the same model, “a clone of mine... but girlier”.
    • The phone can call other numbers too. The Everetts’ answering machine says: “We are not available at the moment because we are doing something we both really like. Anna likes it up and down and I do it left to right... Please leave a message and we will call you back as soon as we have finished brushing our teeth!”
