Oh, my God!

For three years,

I wanted to kill you.

Yeah, maybe I am.

You'll lose your family.

Oh, my God!

Your wife, your daughter.

I killed him.

F***!

Oh, God.

Okay.

Hold on, son.

Hold on. Don't give up.

Come on, son.

Oh, God! Oh, God!

Son.

Got the key.

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Stop!

I forgive him!

I forgive him! No!

No!

God!

God damn you!

Don't you think it would be wise

to engage me in conversation

for your own sake?

I asked you to tell me

about your husband.

It's like we're strangers now.

And?

The last time I saw him,

we were so disconnected.

But now...

I'd give anything in the world...

...to see my husband.

Matrimony's always

fascinated me.

Husbands barely able

to look at their wives,

wives on their backs

in motel rooms

with perfect strangers,

people who bear children

only to neglect them.

Till death do us part, indeed.

I don't know

what you think you know,

but my marriage has

survived more suffering

than someone like you

could ever grasp.

Suffering?

You haven't seen anything yet.

Someone like me?

Who am I?

A monster.

A murderer.

I don't condone murder,

and I... despise murderers.

Please.

Please... let me go.

We're fine, Amanda.

We don't need you.

I said, we're fine.

If you make it through this, Lynn,

you're gonna thank me one day

just as Amanda did.

Please, let me go.

I saved your life.

Maybe my life isn't the one

you were saving after all.

Tell me about your daughter.

I understand she's quite

a little athlete.

Or we could talk about your son.

What did you say?

Why are you living with the dead

when you have such

a beautiful family,

a husband who is indeed alone,

a daughter who needs her mother,

patients who need

a competent physician

who looks them in the eye

and treats them

like human beings?

He's completed the third test.

Congratulations, Lynn.

You're free to go.

Yeah, but he's not

all the way out yet.

Undo her collar, Amanda,

and let her go.

No, he's not finished.

He's not all the way.

Amanda, Lynn is more important

than you know.

Unlock her collar and let her go.

I said no.

Amanda, there are rules.

I said no!

She doesn't deserve to go free.

You promised.

I didn't promise you sh*t.

Amanda, even with that gun,

it is Lynn who holds

your life in her hand.

F*** you.

You give her control over me?

F*** you!

I won't tell anyone.

I promise I won't.

Please, I have a family.

Shut up, shut up,

shut up, shut up!

And stop f***in' moving around!

And what about the other

test subjects that we left alive?

Game over.

I'll f***ing kill you!

What about them?

Was that how you felt about them?

Was that how you felt

about Eric Matthews?

Eric Matthews.

Let me go.

I'll tell you how I felt

about Eric Matthews.

Daniel!

F***.

Daniel!

Daniel?

F***!

Where's my son?

Where is he, you junkie b*tch?

Where is he?

Tell me where he is.

Tell me where he is.

Right f***in' here.

You b*tch!

You're nothin', b*tch!

You're nothing!

You're not Jigsaw.

You're not Jigsaw, b*tch!

You hear me?

You're nothing!

You're not Jigsaw, b*tch.

You're nothin'!

I'll f***in' kill you!

No!

That's right.

I'm a murderer.

He took my life from me,

so I just returned

the f***in' favor.

No, Amanda,

that's what you thought,

but I know different.

You left him for dead, didn't you?

Stop f***ing with me.

But I cleaned up

your mistakes.

I forgave you for them.

Let me go! Please!

What you do

is no different than murder.

You torture people.

You watch them die.

But now you're begging me

not to kill this worthless b*tch

on the grounds of some game?

You are walking us

toward a precipice, Amanda.

Step back.

It's bullshit.

Nobody changes.

It's all a lie.

If you fail in this, we all fail.

Succeed, and we all succeed.

It's a lie!

I'll tell you,

she hasn't changed,

because nobody f***in' changes.

Nobody is reborn.

It's all bullshit!

It's all a f***in' lie!

And I'm just a pawn

in your stupid games.

I don't mean anything to you.

No, you mean everything to me.

F*** you!

Our fates are linked.

I've tried to help you, Amanda.

So, help me!

Fix me!

Fix me, motherf***er!

I'm standin' right here.

Why is she so important to you?

She's not important to me.

She's important to you.

She's not important to me.

I beg you to reconsider that.

This is your last chance, Amanda.

She's nothing.

Your time's running out.

Now, you think about

what you're doing.

Think about everything

that you've done.

You think about

what you promised me.

Think about our dreams.

Think about tomorrow.

Lynn?

Jeff! Jeff--

Lynn.

Lynn.

- Lynn.

- Jeff.

You just destroyed four lives.

You just murdered Jeff's wife.

Baby.

Amanda.

It's okay.

This was your test...

...your game.

What do I want?

I want to play a game.

You're being tested.

Your will is being tested--

Your will to keep someone alive.

Can you do that?

Can you follow the rules

and grant someone the gift of life?

I was testing you.

I took you in.

You will give everything to me.

Yes.

Every cell in your body.

I selected you for the honor

of carrying on my life's work.

But you didn't.

That's right.

I'm a murderer.

I despise murderers.

You didn't test anyone's will to live.

Game over.

Instead you took away

their only chance.

Your games were unwinnable.

Your subjects merely victims.

You.

There is no turning back.

Do you understand that?

In my desperation,

I decided to give you one last chance.

So I put everything in place.

You chose her 'cause

she's the best, right?

That's one reason I chose her.

You didn't know that Lynn and Jeff

were husband and wife.

I had to keep that from you

for the purposes of my game.

I had to leave out

the ruined marriage,

the cheating wife,

the vengeful husband,

the neglected daughter.

And I let you make

your own choices.

I wanted you to succeed.

Amanda, put it away.

Trust me, even with that gun,

it's Lynn who holds

your life in her hands.

She's not important to me.

I beg you to reconsider that.

Unlock her collar

and let her go.

I said no!

The rules of our game

have been made very clear.

You need to abide by those rules.

You couldn't.

God.

Game over.

You haven't learned anything tonight,

have you?

Your rage and your vengeance

will only hurt the ones you love.

Killing me will only add

to your misery.

It will not bring back your son.

Think of your daughter, Jeff.

She needs you now

more than ever.

You can't kill me, Jeff.

Your wife's dying, Jeff.

Her time's running out.

Jeff, do not miscalculate.

Your fate is in my hands.

Your wife's fate is in my hands.

I love you.

I love you.

I'm taking you home. Okay?

Though you may not

see any threat...

there are threats all around you.

Jeff, if you try to move your wife,

she will die.

I can have an ambulance here

in four minutes.

Would you like to take your wife

out of here tonight?

Would you like

to take her to safety?

Stay.

Stand and face me, Jeff.
