Can you… Can you please talk to me?

Please talk to me.

You f***ing b*tch!

You f***ing c*nt!

(TASER FIRES)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

Help me, help me.

Help me, help me. Help me. Please.

Believe it or not, I just did.

You were next.

He’s a monster.

He’s gonna kill you the same way he’s gonna kill all of us. Please…

You don’t know John.

If you want any more of my help, keep your mouth shut about that.

(DOOR CREAKS)

Is that so I don’t shoot that thief in the face?

Trust me, Mr. Sears.

In short order, she’ll wish that you had.

(GASPS)

(MACHINE WHIRRING)

(MATEO WHIMPERING)

Mateo.

F***.

(WHEELS SQUEAKING)

(MATEO WHIMPERING)

(WHEELS RATTLING)

What…

Ah… (WHIMPERING)

What the f*** is that?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GASPS)

What is it? What is it?

I don’t know what the f*** all of these things are.

Medical supplies, I think.

And there’s a f***ing bone cutter.

A craniotome.

I don’t care what the f***ing thing is called, Cecilia!

There’s this thing that says “Play me.”

I’m not gonna touch that thing.

(ELECTRICITY BUZZING)

(SCREAMING)

Fine. Fine.

JIGSAW:
(ON TAPE) Hello, Mateo.

It’s time to play a game.

The rules are simple.

Place a big enough piece of your cerebral tissue into the glass enzyme tank and you win.

A piece of what?

A piece of what?

Gray matter.

What does that mean?

A piece of your brain.

This is insane.

This is insane. (SCREAMS) Kramer!

(SCREAMING) John, please!

Kramer!

Please!

JIGSAW:
If you complete your task in less than three minutes, the enzymes will dissolve the tissue to close a circuit.

This will save your life.

But know this.

The brain is a remarkably resilient organ.

There have been accounts of people undergoing complete anatomical hemispherectomies.

Half their brain removed, only to have it rewire itself, so that the patient not only survives, but thrives.

Ah…

I don’t know how to do this.

I don’t know how to do that.

(COLLAR BUZZING)

(SCREAMING)

(PANTING) Okay…

JIGSAW:
The only thing I have not provided is your anesthetic.

But trust me, you will want to remain alert.

And if you fail to act, the consequences will not go well for you.

Do not waste time.

Live or die, the choice is yours.

(TIMER BEEPING)

No, no, no.

I need to take this thing off.

(SCREAMING)

Somebody help me.

Mateo.

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?

You have to use the craniotome.

(GABRIELA SPEAKING SPANISH)

CECILIA:
(IN ENGLISH) Yes, Mateo, you have to.

That is not going to f***ing happen.

You have to cut into your scalp.

No. No.

Yes!

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

(IN ENGLISH) I can’t do it. I can’t…

Do you want to live? Or wind up like her?

Mateo!

Okay.

Is there a cable?

MATEO:
Is this it?

This is it.

Yes. (SPEAKING SPANISH)

(DRILL WHIRRING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

CECILIA:
Just do it.

(SCREAMING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(TIMER BEEPING)

(DRILL WHIRS)

(SCREAMING)

(TISSUE SQUISHES)

(SCREAMING)

(GABRIELA WHIMPERING)

(PANTING)

(GRUNTING)

Faster!

(SCREAMING)

(GAGS)

(PANTING)

Oh, my God. Oh… Oh, my God.

(TISSUE SQUISHES)

(SCREAMING)

Pull it out!

(BEEPING)

Ah! (GRUNTING)

Dig it out! Do it!

Oh…

GABRIELA:
No! (SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SCREAMING)

(MUFFLED SCREAMING)

No!

No! Mateo!

(GABRIELA SOBBING)

(GABRIELA SOBBING SOFTLY)

You guys are f***ing sick.

JOHN:
We’re sick?

These people kill with false hope.

(SIGHS SOFTLY)

AMANDA:
What if there is something her father can do to help you?

Amanda, you know as well as I do… people will say almost anything to save their own life.

Yeah, but her father’s real.

We both know that.

Amanda, the reality is… I’m dying. I am dying.

(SOBBING)

You have to face that.

But our work’s not gonna end.

And I’m trust… trusting you… to carry on.

(AMANDA SOBBING)

JOHN:
It’s almost morning.

We have a job to do.

We’re running out of time.

I want you to go and free Mr. Sears.

And see if he’ll play by the rules.

No.

No.

Gabriela, you have to take it.

No.

We’ll never get out of here otherwise.

(WHIRRING)

GABRIELA:
What was that?

What’s that?

JIGSAW:
(ON TAPE) Hello, Gabriela.

I want to play a game…

No, no, stop it!

Stop it. Stop it…

I’m afraid that’s not going to work.

You are going to have to play the game.

(WHIMPERING)

(WHIMPERING)

No! No, no, no, no, no!

What the f***?

(SCREAMING)

(CHAINS RATTLING)

(SCREAMING)

JOHN:
Although you all pretended to cure my cancer, I have spent years in treatment.

Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation.

Radiation machines are not to be trifled with.

So, follow my instructions carefully, Gabriela.

F***.

JOHN:
The only way out is to free your hand and ankle from the shackles.

Use the tool above you.

GABRIELA:
(CRYING) No! No, you can’t!

You can’t! Let me out!

(SCREAMING) Let me out!

Broken bones heal. Flesh can be grafted.

This will not be easy, but then, nothing worth having, like life, ever is.

(GABRIELA CRYING)

(SCREAMING)

You have to take it, Gabby.

(GABRIELA GROANING IN PAIN)

CECILIA:
Do it.

You have to do it, Gabby.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

CECILIA:
No, no, no, no, no!

Start with your foot.

You’ll swing out of the way.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Okay, Gabby.

(SCREAMING)

(MALLET THUDDING)

(BONE CRACKS)

(SCREAMING)

You did it, Gabby.

(GROANS WEAKLY)

No.

No. No.

No. No, no. No.

(SOBBING) Stop it. Please.

Don’t stop. Gabby!

(GRUNTING IN PAIN)

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMS)

(WHIMPERING)

Drop her at a hospital.

Okay, play time’s over.

Give me the keys.

(AMANDA GROANS)

I stated to you very clearly, that guns were against the rules.

F*** your rules, John.

The keys to Cecilia’s chains.

You don’t need the keys. She’s not going anywhere.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Now, move.

(DOOR OPENS)

Come on. Move.

(GROANING)

CECILIA:
I thought you forgot about me.

Not a chance.

You know I’d die for you, baby.

Unlock her.

Now!

(GRUNTS)

I’ve been wanting to do that since the moment I met you.

Come on, old man. Lock yourself in.

Come on, move!

(CHAINS RATTLING)

(LOCK CLICKS IN)

New game.

It’s called we live, you die, f*** you.

Simple enough?

AMANDA:
I told you Parker would break the rules.

You failed your test, a**hole.

(LAUGHS)

We need to get her to a hospital.

She won her game and she deserves to live.

Oh, does she now?

Her injuries need medical treatment.

Do they?

(GASPING)

Don’t even think about it!

AMANDA:
No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no!

(NECK SNAPS)

(GASPS)

(AMANDA SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING) You sick b*tch!

(SCREAMS IN ANGUISH)

Unfortunately, I don’t think she’s gonna make it.

(SOBBING)

Parker.

Give me the keys.

(AMANDA SCREAMS)

Lock yourself in.

(LOCK CLICKING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

CECILIA:
So, tell me, John.

You’ve been doing this for a very long time, haven’t you?

How did I stop you?

Am I just that good?

Don’t flatter yourself.

I just had a lapse in judgement.

That’s all.

Yeah, I agree.

For a guy as smart as you are, John, you kind of overplayed your hand here, wouldn’t you say?

You don’t give a sh*t that all your friends are dead because of you?

Friends?
