How to get out of the Dark Room? [[SPOILERS]]
I'm at the part of Episode 5 where Max leaves San Francisco and by tearing up her Everyday Heroes photograph and she ends up in the Dark Room and asks Jefferson for a last request. I've tried all the options. Water, photo, and turn off the lights always get David knocked out cold when he comes in. Turning on the music gets him to come in prepared, no doubt because the music warned him someone was there, but Jefferson takes Max as a hostage when David aims a gun at him. How do I get out of this situation?

Update: I've tried the suggestions but for some reason the arrows or whatever you want to call them don't appear with the objects usually (except for the camera stand to warn David which apparently only results in a scar) and when they do it is only for a split second and than they disappear and thus I am unable to interact with them. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

I think the music is a red herring merely containing an unique scene that leads to a dead end. Try other wishes, preferably the photo one as it holds an achievement. Warn David once and try failing for the first time, as you can then instruct David to use objects near him.

Not sure if you've figured it out by now, but here's how I did it:
Ask Jefferson to take a photo of you.
When Jefferson is preparing to strike, warn David.
Then I told David to use the camera. I'll leave the rest up to you from there.

I've tried to tell David to use the camera. The option appears for a split second before disappearing. Is there no other way for me to help David? No other objects I can use?

Rewind and catch the exact moment - you have no other objects to use at that phase if I remember correctly.

Once David throws the camera at Jefferson, he goes for his gun. The next bit i think you have a few choices but you need to hit the cable on the floor so the light drops. Try that?

1. Ask for the photo.
2. Warn David.
3. Watch him get clobbered. Rewind.
4. Ask for water.
5. Don't warn David if you don't want him to end up with a scar. Instead, pan to the right and look at the cart. Kick it towards them.
6. Watch what happens, then rewind again.
7. This time, look to the floor on the left, and pull the cable to you.
8, Profit.

As I've updated I can't do any of these because I can't interact with the objects. Can I get some advice on how to fix this?

Are you playing with a keyboard/mouse? The prompts show up for me every time and I'm using a gamepad. Might be far-fetched, but that could be why.

Yeah, I am. My gamepad broke for me so I'm forced to use a keyboard and mouse.

Another user reported this same problem, and he's using KB/mouse too. Could be related.

Maybe. Do you know how to report problems to DONTNOD, they might need to hear about this.

You could try contacting them directly at their website: http://www.dont-nod.com/
Or Tweet to them, some companies respond quicker that way. Also, you might want to try the pinned thread regarding bugs. I think one of the devs actually posted that, and maybe they read it? Either way, someone might have a solution at least.

Same problem here.

I had the same issue, using keyboard/laptop trackpad (I know, I'm lazy and couldn't be bothered plugging in a mouse) it was very difficult to choose to use the camera or push the cart.
Once I realised you didn't need to warn David (because of response above) I used:

1. Choose water
2. Don't warn David
3. Push cart

For some reason I had more time that way and could click it, the other ways it was too fast and I didn't have time to click.
