F***! F***!

What the f...!

F***!

What the f***!

F***!

God!

Help!

F***!

Hello Seth.

I want to play a game.

Right now you're feeling helpless.

This is the same helplessness

you bestowed onto others.

But now, it's onto you.

Some would call this karma,

I call it justice.

Now you served five years

of what should have been

a life sentence for murder.

A technicality gave you freedom,

but it inhibited you from understanding

the impact of taking a life.

Today, I offer you true freedom.

In thirty seconds,

the pendulum will drop far enough

to touch your body.

Within sixty seconds,

it will cut you in half.

To avoid the pendulum, all you have to do

is destroy the things that have killed...

...your hands.

You must insert your hands

and push the buttons

to start the devices before you.

Your bones will be crushed to dust.

Will you destroy the things that have

taken life in order to save one, Seth?

Make your choice.

No!

It was an accident!

God!

Please!

Wait!

Ok, f*** you!

God!

Ok, ok, ok.

Come on, come on...

F***!

I did it! I did it!

Let me see your hands.

Let me see your hands!

Where is my daughter?

You...

Jesus.

Hello, Agent Strahm.

If you're hearing this,

then you've finally found

what you've been looking for.

But is the discovery of my body enough?

Or will your insatiable

hunger to uncover the truth

push you deeper into the abyss?

Heed my warning:
do not proceed.

For this room can

either be you sanctuary,

or it can be your grave.

The choice is yours.

F*** you.

Hey!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Go, go!

It's ok.

Lets go.

Move it, move, move!

Stay focused!

- Wheres my dad?

- It's gonna be ok.

Wheres my mum?

Wheres my mum?

- Hoffman.

- I got him.

Did you get them all?

What the hell happened?

Where is Rigg?

I tried to help.

He didn't make it.

Nobody made it.

We got a live one!

Hello?

Right away.

Miss Tuck.

Have a seat.

It's nice to meet you Mr. Feldman.

Why am I here?

I represent your ex-husband John.

In the event of his death,

I was instructed to contact you.

You can understand my surprise,

when I found out who he really was.

John left something for you.

If you're watching this Jill,

I'm long gone from this world.

You are my heart,

you always have been,

you always will be.

I'm not going to try to explain the...

...my actions of late.

Suffice it to say that I find

it difficult to forgive myself

for what happened at the clinic.

I permitted, indeed encouraged,

your decisions

regarding the people there.

I saw a danger and I...

I should have acted sooner.

I'm leaving you a box today

and its contents are

of grave importance.

Even though you and I

don't always see

eye-to-eye on everything,

I deeply believe in you,

and I believe that you will know

what to do with these materials.

Miss Tuck, if you don't mind,

what's in the box?

Thank you for your time, Mr. Feldman.

I want to thank you all

for coming here today

and I'd like to be the first to say

that the Jigsaw murders are over.

Why isn't this a joint press

conference with the FBI?

Please not today, Miss Jenkins.

The officers who gave their lives

are being honored here today.

But today I'd like to

offer special honor

to the detective who has been on

this case right from the beginning.

Who proved through

hard work and dedication

that the people who died

did not die in vain.

Today we honor the newly promoted,

Detective Lieutenant Mark Hoffman.

He's all right. God bless him.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Throughout this ordeal, if we've

learned anything, it's that...

...human life is sacred.

And we've learned that every day,

life should be cherished.

Justice is the backbone

to every peaceful society.

And I believe that true

justice has been served.

Doctor Rayburn, 53.

Doctor Rayburn...

Sorry about Agent Perez.

Shouldn't you be resting?

I'm fine, Erickson.

You were lucky.

That's why I put you on medical leave.

I was supposed to die in that trap.

You never should have

been there without back-up.

I want to talk to Jill Tuck

one last time.

You're not longer

handling the case, Peter.

What?

Read it.

Over a dozen dead bodies

were recovered at the scene.

Two of which were cops.

Jigsaw is dead.

How many lives did I inevitably save?

By endangering yourself and others

- ... you are off the case.

- On whose orders?

Mine.

I'm sorry Peter, it's over.

Hello Agent Perez, and welcome to

the world that you have long studied.

Heed my warning, Agent Perez.

Your next move is critical.

- Open the door.

- What is that?

I am truly sorry about Agent Perez.

She said your name, you know...

Last thing she said

was "Detective Hoffman".

Why did she said that?

Why did she say your name?

- I don't know.

- No?

How did you walk out of that building?

How did you?

On a gurney with a

f***ing hole in my throat!

And you...

couple of scratches, and a story

about how your arm straps broke,

Jigsaw doesn't make mistakes.

Is this you theorising again?

'Cause Jigsaw is dead.

I'm not talking about him.

I'm talking about you and

your whole crooked department.

My department's gone,

they're all dead.

There's no one left.

Besides you!

I've been chasing Jigsaw

from the beginning.

And I got him.

So unless you've got

something else to say...

...back the f*** off.

And read the papers.

I saved that little girl.

Oh my god.

What is this?

Hey, don't move.

What did you do to me?

I didn't do anything.

It's Jigsaw.

- What is it?

- I knew this was going to happen to me.

This is what he does.

No, it is not Jigsaw.

He's dead.

Haven't you watched TV lately?

Yeah, well whoever it is,

they're watching us.

Make sure we follow the rules.

Which are what?

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Unless you want your head to pop off

like a dandelion.

How do you know that?

Because I have eyes.

One pulled pin starts

the timer for all of us.

You don't want to do that,

unless you know how it

works now, would you?

This sh*t is freakin' me out, dude.

Hello and welcome.

From birth, you've all been given

the advantages of few others.

Yet, through poor moral decisions,

you've used these

advantages to selfishly

further only yourselves

at the expense of others.

But today, this singular way of thinking

will be put to the test.

Today, five will become one

with the common goal of survival.

You are all connected.

A cable runs through your collar devices.

It can be pulled so tight that you will

be decapitated on the mounted razors.

The only way to remove

the collar is with the keys

from the glass boxes on

the pedestals before you.

However, if one of you

moves to retrieve a key,

the 60-second timer

will begin for you all.
