And by the way,

the blade on your pendulum was inferior.

If you want a true edge,

you have to use tempered steel.

Tempering's better for the long haul.

You in this for the long haul, detective?

I've been a cop for 20 years.

Is that long enough for you?

Then you and I both know the statistics

for repeat offenders in this city.

67.5% of criminals are back in prison within three years.

What do you want from me?!

So you might look at what you did to Seth

as a kind of public service.

She was my only family.

He didn't deserve a chance!

He was an animal!

Everybody deserves a chance!

You didn't see the blood!

You didn't see what

he f***ing did to her!

Killing is distasteful...!

to me.

There is a better,

more efficient, way.

What do you see? Look!

- What do you see?

- Tell me what you want!

I want to know if you have

what it takes to survive.

F*** you.

F*** you.

You see, it's a different

method that I'm talking about.

If the subject survives my method,

he or she is instantly rehabilitated.

Now, you want a chance?

You want a chance?

I'll give you a chance.

I am the man you call "Jigsaw".

It's your duty to bring me in.

But I know who you are

and I know what you've done.

So this is blackmail?

No, no, no...

This is redemption.

Just giving you an option.

That's all.

Now, you can arrest me,

but in doing so,

your life ends as you know it.

Or...

you could explore

a method of rehabilitation

that'll permit you to sleep at night.

Or I can kill you right now.

But you're not a true killer.

That's your dilemma.

And the information I have on you

is exactly where it needs to be.

And it will be released in

the event of my disappearance.

They'll never believe

your word over mine.

You're willing to take that risk?

The risk of ruining your own life

in order to protect a corrupt legal system

that puts murderers back on the streets?

How would your sister feel?

We're at a crossroads, detective.

Make your choice.

Did you help Jigsaw get hold of them?

Detective Hoffman,

this is Special Agent Erickson.

You had something you needed to discuss

about the Jigsaw case?

Yes, I stopped by Agent Strahm's

room tonight at the hospital,

but he wasn't there.

- I hope he's all right.

- Oh yeah, he's fine..

Agent Strahm was theorizing

about the possibility

of an additional

accomplice to Jigsaw...

...other than Amanda Young.

Someone who might be currently unknown.

Did he ever mentioned

anything like that to you?

No.

But then again, I'm new to the case.

Yeah, well, maybe you can get him

to contact me at his earliest convenience.

Will do, and uh...

in this theorizing,

who exactly did you

suspect to be an accomplice?

Well,

he suspected someone on the inside.

Someone with access.

That's an interesting theory.

Detective...

what do you say we

reconnect in the morning?

You got it.

God. The guy was an

a**hole, but he was smart.

We could have used him.

Well, someone had to die.

Would you rather it have been you?

How did they get you?

I will kill you!

I will kill you!

Alright, kill me?

Hello Paul.

Did you cut yourself because

you truly wanted to die

or did you just want some attention?

Tonight, you'll show me.

If you want to live,

you'll have to cut yourself again.

How much blood will you

shed to stay alive, Paul?

I didn't expect to feel any remorse.

The heart cannot be involved.

Emotionally, there can be nothing there.

It can never be personal.

- Lets go.

- No.

You're not done yet.

Tonight, you will see the difference

between killing and rehabilitation.

There's another detective

that you should be aware of.

His name's Tapp

He's smart.

He's getting closer.

I know who he is.

I need you to lead him

to somewhere for me.

A doctor.

A healer who needs some healing.

Is this yours, doctor?

You supplied these

police files, didn't you?

You're assuming this is gonna play out

the way you want it?

I assume nothing.

I anticipate the possibilities

and I let the game play out.

Then why do you

need Amanda in the game?

To ensure that

the rules are followed.

She won't make decisions for anyone.

She will just...

...offer choices.

A little to your left.

That leaves it up to chance.

If you're good at

anticipating the human mind,

it leaves nothing to chance.

It's time.

Jesus Christ!

Great. More bombs.

All right,

what did you do to get here?

I... I did something

...and a bunch of people were killed.

I didn't mean to.

There're still dead.

- And that's why you're here?

- Yeah.

Shouldn't you have gone to jail

for something like that?

Nobody else knows.

Somebody does.

I didn't kill anybody

if that's what you're asking.

I wasn't.

I grant building permits.

And yes, some people might have

been more deserving than others.

But you know what?

That's the business.

So if someone tells you different,

well then they're just stupid.

Or naive.

Or both.

Bullshit.

You take bribes, you're a f***ing liar,

you cheat people. That's not nice.

Yeah...

But I'm sure she's not exactly

Mother Teresa either.

No, I'm not.

I don't give a sh*t.

Close the f***ing door,

we have to hear the rules.

Hello and welcome.

You must all be eager to learn the next

important lesson in your transformation.

The game before you

is designed to bridge

the gap between you all.

In order to open the five locks

on the door out of this room,

the five electrical circuits

powering them must be closed.

The only way to do this is to find a way to

connect all five cords to the bath water.

Close the circuits,

and the door will open.

But you must work quickly

for in three minutes,

an electrical current

will surge through this room

locking the doors forever.

Who will bridge the gap?

The choice is yours.

Jesus Christ!

Its not gonna reach.

How the f*** are we gonna do this?

Come on!

No, don't do it!

Please, no.

You killed her.

You f***ing killed her.

I didn't trust her.

Jesus Christ,

what is it with you two?

Just shut up and

help me with the body.

Wait, wait. No.

Don't let your body touch hers.

Oh my god, it's a hook.

Stick it in her head

or we don't get out!

Just do it!

Come in.

Sir, that's Jill Tuck.

Good evening.

Special Agent Erickson.

Thank you for seeing me so late today.

Not a problem.

That will be all.

Please, have a seat.

So, what do you need from us?

I think I'm being followed.

Well, that sounds more

like police work, Ms. Tuck.

I don't think they can help me.

Because...?

Because it's you.

The FBI.

I don't understand.

It started when John was first

identified as Jigsaw killer.

It didn't surprise me then,
