*Spoilers*Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines help

Hidy ho all,

I've been playing bloodlines recently, and I think I ran into a bug.  For the record, I'm plaing the vanilla gog version.  No extra mods added.

But I'm trying to escape the Fu Syndicate building, after having rescued barabus.  The quest is complete, the server's wiped, and I'm trying to leave.  But I can't find the way out.  He opened the silver doors at the end of the hall, but behind them is just a wall.  There are no other doors that I can see, besides the one with the level 10 lock.  I had to reload a save, 3 times to get my lockpicking skill to 7 with the leather clothing on (thats lvl 9 with the standard clothing btw), so I can just equip the standard clothing, and use blood buff to get my skill to 10.

But why should I have to pass a skill check, some players might not be able to pass, to escape now?  So I'm thinking thats not the way out, but I don't know where else to check.

So, does anyone know the way out?
