Manic is talking to John who's in bed breathing in an oxygen mask. His life's slipping away. "What's going on with Mina? Are you going to tell me that the true enlightenment is detaching emotion?"
"You going to have something Mina doesn't. I'll assure you that people being tested are part of something much larger. In the end all the pieces will fit together," John informed.
Mina walks in wearing a hooded-coat carrying a shotgun collar. She treads over to Aleena tied into a wheelchair. When the lights turn on, Aleena wakes up. Manic can hear her struggling. John hands Manic a folder, showing the next victims.
Aleena is asking where she is, and what's happening. Mina quiets her down.
"Let's go," she said.
Mina takes the wheelchair and moves her to where John is. Manic exits through a secret door on the wall.
"Hello Dr. Aleena," said John as Mina brought her in. "I was in a hospital once. Do you remember me?"
Manic looks inside the folder, there are photos of the next five victims: Gerald Robotnik, Maria Robotnik, Johnny Lightfoot, Lupe Wolf and Fiona Fox.
Mina tosses some papers on John's tumour on Aleena's lap. "There's no treatment for what you have."
"I remember you saying that to me once before, almost the exact same tone. Leaving it to a doctor to find such a cold, clinical way, saying I'm a dead man walking. Looking at me saying how long do I have left?"
Aleena didn't say a word. She's trying to find a way of saying how long he has, until John build up rage. "Look at me!"
Aleena was frightened by his voice.
"From the look on your file, not very long."
"Death is a surprise mark. You're already dead on the inside."
Mina walks in placing a glass of water next to him. She takes a moist cloth and rubs it on his head to cool down the fever.
"What do you want?" asked Aleena.
"What I want...I want to play a game," John answered.
Upon hearing his words Mina walks over putting the final adjustment on the shotgun collar. John continued explaining. "The rules of the game are simple. The consequences for breaking them are great: death. You're being tested. Your will is being tested; the will to keep someone alive. Can you do that? Can you follow the rules and grant someone the gift of life?"
Mina takes the collar and walks to Aleena. She pulls Aleena's her back and places the collar around her neck. John continues talking.
"The device you are wearing is linked to my heart rate monitor. The second that heart rate monitor flat lines or you move out of range, an explosion will go off in that collar. Your life, and my life, will end simultaneously."
Mina takes the key for the collar places it around her neck and leans towards Aleena. "Out there on those screens, we have another test subject...A man."
Aleena looks at the monitors. Mina switches on the collar. "He will face a series of tests. You have to keep John alive until he makes it through. If Shadow completes all his tests and John's still breathing, then I'll rid the collar, and you're free to go."
John looks at Mina. "Mina, it's time to start our game."
In other room, Manic is tied up in a chair. Nelson is standing on a block of ice, with his hands shackled and a chain around his neck. Both of them are on an electrode. Lights and heat lamps are instantly turned on. The two struggled for a small bit. Then Sonic comes in the room with a duffle bag and throws a switch, it was part of the game. Sonic walks to the table with monitors on it. Manic pretending to not know him tries to yell at him knowing his mouth is gagged.
"Can you hear me? You fucking hear me?" he shouted.
Sonic places a magnum next to him. The ice block starts to melt due to the heat lamps. The game is about to commence.
In an apartment bathroom, the shower nozzle is spraying water. Geoffrey, lying unconscious in the tub with warm water sprayed onto him. He opens his eyes and climbs out. He sees a question mark on the door behind him. He opens the door, a trip wire's pulled from the TV. Billy appears on screen.
"Hello, Officer St. John, welcome to your rebirth. For years, you have stood by and witnessed as your colleagues have fallen. You have remained untouched, while Nelson Thorndike has disappeared. But, with your survival became your obsession. Obsession to stop those around you from making the wrong choices, thus preventing you from making the right ones. You wanted to save everyone. Tonight, I will give you the opportunity to face your obsession. Look closely." The TV Shows Nelson and Manic in their predicament. Nelson Thorndike is still alive. The block of ice he stands upon is melting. He has but 90 minutes to save himself. Detective Manic's fate is linked to Nelson's survival. Heed my warning Officer St. John: Their lives hang in the balance of your obsession. Will you learn to how let go... and truly save them? The choice is yours."
Geoffrey arms his gun and searches his apartment. He sees the timer counting down from 90 minutes. He looks into a room, finding a female rabbit chained to numerous gears and a dial. Her ears are twisted through a metal ring and wound up along an axel connected to the gears. The lights turn on. a message appears on the wall saying: SEE AS I SEE. The TV turns on and Billy appears on screen.
"Officer St. John, your first test. The person in front of you is in desperate need of help. But it is not your job to save them. You view this person as a victim, but if you were to SEE WHAT I SEE, beneath the mask is a criminal undeserving of the life she leads." Geoffrey lifts the mask revealing to be Bunnie Rabbot. There are photos of her pimping young girls both human and Mobian. "Your obsession tells you to save the victim. I tell you to walk away. The choice is yours."
Geoffrey pulls the cloak causing the pin to remove. It causes the gears to turn, the axel pulls her ears. Bunnie screams and cries in pain.
"Hurry!" she shouted. "Let me out!"
Geoffrey runs to the kitchen and checks the drawers. He finds a note in one of them saying: Time is Wasting. Geoffrey shoots the gears, causing them to stop. After a few seconds the gears continue to pull her ears. She screams in pain even more. Geoffrey looks to find away to deactivate it then he saw a number 6 on one of the gears. "I found a number wait for a moment."
He runs to the dial and turns it to 6. He looks at the other gears and sees a number 4 on another. "I found another one hold on."
He turns the dial to 4. He sees number 7 on another gear. He turns the dial to 7 causing the restraints to let her go. Geoffrey takes her ears out of the gears.
While he's searching in the kitchen, Bunnie reaches for a small cabinet and pulls out a knife. When Geoffrey comes back with a towel, Bunnie lunches at him with the knife. He continues dodging her attacks and grabs her from behind. She struggles herself while Geoffrey grabs her injured ears to calm her down. Without warning, Bunnie is slammed against a mirror and falls to the floor. Glass shards pierced on her throat, chest and abdomen. Geoffrey finds a tape recorder attached to her hand, picks it up and plays it. The voice talking is John.
"Hello, Bunnie. I want to play a game. An officer will try to save you. If he is successful, then your game begins. This man will use these photos to sentence you for your crimes and the only way to stop him is taped underneath the TV. Let him save you and accept your fate and rot in prison...or kill him and guarantee your freedom. Make your choice."
He walks to the front door and finds a box. He opens it and finds a note saying: One saves a life...One takes it away. He finds two keys: one from a motel and another attached to a chain. He takes the two and leaves.
Shadow wakes up and finds himself in a wooden crate on top of a forklift. He finds a recorder and plays it. John begins talking.
"Hello Shadow. Over the past few years you have become a shell of your former self; consumed with hatred and vengeance. Vengeance against the drunk driver who killed your only son. Vengeance against the killer, who to your surprise and dismay was set free after a hasty trial. Today, however, it is you who will be put on trial. To escape from where you are, you will have to face a series of tests. You will have to suffer to move forward through each of them. But with each one, you will also have a chance; a chance to forgive. When you complete the tests, I promise you will finally come face to face with the man responsible for the loss of your child. That will be your ultimate test. Can you forgive him? You better hurry though. In two hours the doors will lock, and this place will become your tomb. This is what you've been waiting for, Shadow. Let the game begin."
He budges the crate few times until it falls and breaks apart setting him free. He sees a security camera knowing he's being watched. He sees a box with note inside which reads: Open the door, Shadow. He finds a torn piece of photo with him on it and a bullet. He takes them and moves on.
At the police station, an officer enters Ray's office. "The print from that bullet casing, we got a match."
Ray looks at it. "You check this?"
"Twice."
Ray enters the room where Blaze and Silver are. "The print from the casing is from Officer St. John."
An officer enters the room "We got a dead body in St. John's apartment."
Mina meanwhile examines the monitors and sees Shadow walking. She heads to John and Aleena.
"It's begun," she said. "He's out of the box."
She walks over to Aleena hoping on how John is doing.
"He needs to go to the hospital" Aleena said to Mina. "He needs an operation to decompress his brain."
"Come here," said Mina quietly.
"What is it?"
"Let me ask you something."
Mina Grabs Aleena's hair pulls near her. "No one's is going to any hospital."
She lets her go and Aleena continues talking. "For a tumour like this he needs steroids, prednisones..."
Mina picks up a medical book. "Oh I get it yeah. Maybe we should try some door to door steroids you know stuff like methadone." She drops the book in anger. "Why don't you tell me something I don't know?"
"The place where he could get those drugs is at a hospital."
"I think you missed the part that if he dies, you die."
"You're asking me to do the impossible."
"I'm not asking you, he chose you."
Mina shakes the tool table alerting Aleena.
"Mina," said John waking up. "The doctor can't do what's being asked if you threaten her. Rules for the game are made clear. We need to apply by those rules."
The heart monitor starts to bleep fast and John begins to retch. Aleena rushes over holding John's head on its side.
"I need your help Mina," alerted Aleena.
Mina places the oxygen mask over John's face. Aleena tells her to hold John down to prevent further spasms. Aleena rushes over and grabs some tissues. John starts to spew blood. She tells Mina to move so she can clean John's mouth. Mina leaves the room while Aleena holds down John's head.
Afterwards, Aleena walks over to Mina. "You're ready to go to the hospital now?"
Mina said nothing. "Even with an anesthetic he..."
"Anesthetic, what else?" sobbed Mina.
Aleena thinks for a moment. Then finds out she can use Mina to get what she needs. "A power drill."
Shadow enters a hall. One of the lights flickers on and off. He sees butcher's uniform, realizing he's in an abandoned meat packaging plant. He enters a door leading to a freezer. The door behind him closes, locking him in. The lights turn on revealing Dulcy chained upright. Shadow finds a tape recorder and plays it. John's voice begins to speak.
"Welcome to your first test, Shadow. For the past three years, you've cursed the name of all those you thought were responsible for the death of your son. You've fantasized that those accountable will pay. Well, you will find a woman in front of you chained in place. This will prevent her from running, much like she did on the day your son was hit. Her name is Dulcy. She was the only witness present at the scene of your son's untimely demise. If not for her own self absorption and cowardice, she could have brought your son's killer to justice. Now it is you, who has a chance to bring her to justice. You alone can grant her the gift of life, before she freezes to death. Behind the pipes on the back wall, you will find the key that will free her and bring you one step closer to the man responsible for the loss of your child. Will you claim the key to save only yourself, or can you find it within you to save another? Make your choice."
Hoses started to spray ice cold water on Dulcy. She feels a lot more pain than normal cold water being sprayed onto a person. Shadow watched her helplessly freeze in front of him. Hoses spray more water and Dulcy screams in pain even more. Shadow huddles himself to keep himself warm while Dulcy freezes to death. He walks over to her. "You should of testified for my son's death, but you just left me in agony."
"I'm sorry, please help," Dulcy said while crying.
The cold water made her body drop its temperature more than usual. The hoses continue to spray water. Shadow finds the key on a wall behind some pipes. He reaches and manages to get it. He's about to release Dulcy until too late, she's frozen solid along with the chain holding her and padlock. He uses the key to escape the freezer. He breaks down, thinking he should have saved her, instead of letting her suffer for her guilt. He finds a box with a note saying: One bullet will end it all. He turns it over and sees a part of the torn photo showing Charmy.
Swat break into Geoffrey's apartment finding Bunnie's body.
"We got one," said a SWAT member.
Silver looks at her body. "It has started."
Blaze examines the photos. Silver comes to see them.
"Two detectives," Blaze said.
There showed photos of Nelson and Manic. Silver leans to a SWAT member "Manic, got a twenty on him yet?"
"Not yet."
"How you expect Detective Thorndike?" asked Blaze.
"He's alive," answered Silver. "Where does it tell us he's innocent with photos in his apartment? I'll show you."
He takes a UV light and shines it above the photos. Blaze reads the writing. Four Walls Build A Home.
"What does he want us to see on those walls?"
"The victim?"
Silver takes photos of Jill and shows them to Blaze. "This is who we are looking for."
The two walk out. "Let's talk to her now."
At a motel, Big is at the reception holding his dog. Geoffrey enters the building and a homeless person sees him.
"The fucking you're at?" he asked.
Geoffrey ignores him and heads upstairs.
"Sir? Sir can I help you?" Big asked.
Geoffrey looks at the motel key figuring out which room it is. He finds it and enters the room. He sees a box on the bed. He opens it and finds two photos: one of a prison mug shot of Big and the other of a young woman. There's writing at the back saying: She Needs You. He also finds a pig mask and recorder. He plays it and John's voice is heard.
"Hello, Officer St. John. In order for you to fully understand my way, you must...FEEL WHAT I FEEL. The photo before you is of a man in desperate need of help. In the next room are the tools to his salvation. His life is in your hands but in the end, only he can save himself. Be careful. There are cameras...watching...and you must hide your identity. Make your choice." He sees a door which reads FEEL WHAT I FEEL. He looks at Big's photo and decides to put on the mask.
At the plant, Aleena walks to one of the desks and sees the reverse bear trap on the mannequin's head. She sees a phone and when she tries to reach it, the trap sets itself off causing her to jump. She turns and sees Mina receiving a scare. Mina looks at the trap, remembering the time she had to escape from one of those.
"Mina..." said Aleena trying to get the words out.
Mina picks up a hatchet and hands it to her. Aleena takes it. "I may be helpful but I'm not a brain a brain surgeon. Just do it Aleena. Doing it at the wrong place can trigger it. I should know. I built it."
Mina takes the hatchet. "So, do you have everything you need?"
"I have instrument to cut someone open. I don't have the tools to save a life."
"You'll be surprised on the tools that save a life."
Mina picks up the reverse bear trap and places it on the desk.
Geoffrey heads down the stairs. While Big is making the homeless person to leave, Geoffrey uses the motel key to attract the dog. Big then notices that his dog is missing. He went upstairs and sees it near the door. He walks over and sees the pig mask. Geoffrey points his gun at him.
Aleena is preparing the tools for the surgery. She uses a broken mirror shard to look at the collar in further detail. Mina is confronting John. "He made it through the freezer. He tried to save her."
"Some things are good enough for thee. In my desk, central drawer, a brown envelope with your name on it."
"She's going to do a procedure on you, to relieve the pressure on your brain. To relieve the headaches."
Mina slowly starts to cry. "I can't do this."
"You can, you can. You're stronger now."
"You said that she's the best right?"
"You'll just have to wait."
Sonic is scanning the monitors seeing Geoffrey's progress. Then Nelson has way of getting out of this torture.
"Fuck you," he said quietly.
He slips off the ice block attempting to hang himself. The scale tips slightly and Sonic lifts him back onto the block making it balance. "If you jump off that block, you'll kill him."
He takes out his magnum and points at Manic. The two see each other eye to eye, knowing that they seen each other before. He heads back to the monitors leaving Nelson understanding of the situation.
At the motel room, Big is on the bed looking worried. "Why are you doing this?"
Geoffrey walks around a bit, takes out the prison photo of Big and hands it to Big. Geoffrey feels the nervousness building inside his head. "Let's see what's behind that door."
He takes out the other key and gives it to Big.
"Open the door," he said.
Big opens the door peeks in and runs. Geoffrey stops him.
"No, no get back!" he said.
He points the gun at him and they enter the room. It's filled with pictures of dead young women, both Mobian and human. The bed has four shackles one for each corner. Geoffrey sees Nelson and Manic on the TV. Big tries to escape but Geoffrey grabs him and throws him to the floor. He finds a note with his name on it. He sees the recorder and plays the tape. John's voice gives him more info.
"If you are playing this tape, then you are one step closer to truly understanding how to save a life. As an officer of the law, you find yourself torn. Is the man before you a victim or a perpetrator of violence? His salvation is out of your hands. It is your choice if you wish to put it into his own. Once this lesson is learned, you will find yourself one step closer to truly saving Nelson Thorndike. Without you, this man's game cannot begin. Force him into the position to face his demons and let him make the decision."
He sees two triggers then the TV turns on showing Big raping and torturing a girl. He tells big to get on the bed and shackles both of his arms and legs. Big's head is placed in a vise. After he's shackled in, Geoffrey sees a note which reads: Hand him the tools that will save his life. He hands him the triggers and plays the tape for Big. John's voice is soon heard.
"Hello, Big. As a voyeur, you have kept photos of those you have victimized. Can you see the pain you have brought them? You have torn apart their lives. You've used your body as an instrument of abuse. Now I give you the choice of what you decide is most important: Your eyes, which have led you blindly astray... or your body, which has caused those around you endless suffering. You have been handed the tools that will save your life. Decide quickly, though. In 60 seconds, the choice will be made for you."
Geoffrey finds a note and leaves Big to accomplish his test. 40 seconds in and Big pressed the trigger. One of the scythe arms to lowers and blinds one of his eyes. He's about to push the other until time ran out. The gears started to turns and ripped all of Big's limbs off his body. Geoffrey reads the note which says: Become a teacher and save a life. Go back to where it all began.
Silver, Blaze and other cops enter the drug clinic. Silver spoke to the nurse nearby. "Jill Tuck where is she?"
Jill, who was doing work near reception, heard her name.
Hershey wakes up only to find Agunus behind her; both tied together, suspended in the air, and have rods though their bodies. She plays the recorder attached to her hand only to hear John's voice.
"The human body is a fascinating organism. It can withstand the most brutal injury... and yet repair itself miraculously. But you know this all too well. How many broken bones have you suffered at the hands of your husband? How many flesh wounds have you endured? With time, the bruises have healed, but your pain has not. Today, I empower you to take control of your life. Can you disconnect from the one thing that has brought you and others so much pain? With time, your wounds will heal. His, however, will not. Remove the ties that bind you...or bleed to death from your inactivity - the choice is yours..."
Agunus then wakes up and sees a message near him saying: YOUR LIFE IS IN HER HANDS. The two see X-Ray pics of their body parts, with an anatomy of the circulatory system. Hershey pulls the rod on her left arm, when Agunus sees the rod move he grabs it preventing it going further. Hershey succeeds and pulls the rod near her left shoulder. This moves the rod into Agunus' throat. He tried to prevent it but Hershey succeeds again. Blood spews out and Agunus places his hand over the wound. Hershey pulls another one. This time in her left chest which is in Agunus' stomach. She pulls the rod out and the two scream in pain.
Blaze enters the interrogation room where Jill is sitting.
"Miss Tuck? I'm special agent Blaze and this is special agent Silver we would like to apologize for taking you out of your workplace."
"What do you think I can offer you?" Jill asked. "Hundred hours of interrogating tapes on the info of John."
"It's not John I'm here to talk about."
Silver takes his turn and Blaze leaves. "Four walls build a home. Shed any light on that?"
"Light on what?"
"The photos we found on the crime scene."
He hands the photos. Cherish your life.
"That's his motto."
"No, that's YOUR motto. The clinic you run. Takes a motto from your drug clinic designed to help people and twists it manic torture monk."
"That motto John used has nothing to do with it."
"Four walls show two officers missing and a pile of bodies in their wake. Every detail we have on Earth on your hall of fame psychopathic husband-"
"Ex-husband."
"-points to you a possible accomplice I'm just curious to know why. There are a lot of people out there, looking for answers want the place blamed on someone. That person is you. You know what the best part is? I don't have to convince everybody."
Later Jill is drinking coffee and Silver has documents on the Jigsaw killings. "Tell me about his workshop. If you love the guy so much why did you leave him?"
"He left me long before I left him."
"You break up and relationships end, it's called life. He started massacring people!"
"It meant everything to him. Do you know anything about the Chinese Zodiac?"
Silver didn't want to hear it "Jill, no no!"
"I didn't just get pregnant, it was carefully planned. Everything John was."
"Girl loves boy, boy loves girl, boy gets girls pregnant, girl loses baby, boy turns into serial killer. Jill, I'm not buying it!"
Ray enters room telling Silver to take a break. Silver tells him that she doesn't leave.
Shadow continues to walk down the corridor when he saw light flashing lights. He sees Billy lying there with the tricycle. He picks Billy up and its mouth opens and showing its mechanical laugh. He drops it and heads towards the door. He opens it and a tripwire activates a vat. The door closes behind him locking him in.
"Hello?" said a voice. "Help me please."
Shadow sees a recorder and plays it John's starts to speak.
"Shadow, when the judge presiding over your case sentenced your boy's murderer so lightly, your soul never recovered." He spotted Ixis Naugus restrained at the bottom of the vat. "Now, you have the power to sentence his soul straight to hell. Or, you could forgive. The key that will free him is hidden inside your son's possessions, possessions you have clung to for far too long." He sees all of Charmy's possessions in an incinerator. "Now if you flip the switch on the incinerator underneath you, a fire will cleanse you of this obsession and destroy them all, leaving only the key remaining. It is also the key that will bring you closer to the man accountable for taking your child. He doesn't have much time, Shadow. Let the game begin."
A pig is dropped into a set of circular saws and its guts sprayed into Ixis. Shadow backed from the retching scent. Shadow speaks to Ixis "I think you remember Mephiles the Dark?"
Another pig dropped in and more gut spewed in.
"You reduced his sentenced to six months!" Shadow continued.
"Just because I did that doesn't make me a killer!"
More guts filled the vat. Shadow runs to the incinerator. He couldn't let go of the possessions. He had no choice but to push the button, causing everything to burn. He pulls the drawer and grabs the key. He heads into the vat unlocks the shackle from Ixis' neck and the two flee.
Mina is watching Shadow on the monitors. Aleena prepares for the surgery, gathering equipment and removing her jewellery. Mina walks in checking to see how it's going.
"He's passed his second test. He saved the judge," she said.
Aleena shaved a portion of John's head. She then tells John what's going to happen. "I'm going to relieve the pressure on your skull. It should rid of the headaches and improve your other skills."
She cuts the skin on the area where the tumour is. She uses the surgery scissors to move the scalp and skin away from the exposed skull to prevent bleeding. "Mina I need you over here."
Mina walks over while Aleena continues. "Fill that syringe with alcohol."
Mina fills it with alcohol and hands it to Aleena. She sprays it around the area clearing away any blood. She takes a drill and looks at the monitor. She drills four holes making a square.
"John, how are you doing?" Aleena asked.
"Never better."
Aleena Takes a mini circular saw and saws between the holes. She removes the skull fragment and puts it in a steel bowl. The monitor beeps a bit faster and John lifts his hand up indicating he's OK. Then the monitor starts bleeping fast.
"John, raise your hand," commanded Aleena.
"What's happening?" worried Mina.
"John!" Aleena rushes over with an oxygen mask.
"Why isn't he moving?" panicked Mina.
She places the mask over John and he reached out and touched Aleena's arm. Both of them sighed of relieve.
Silver and Blaze are investigating the scene where Big is killed. "The victim's name is Big, arrested for rape 3 times. He had to blind his eyes to release himself."
"Who's been running for the past six day to Sonic? Get this, he went missing a fortnight ago," said another officer.
"Run on the last known addresses," Silver said to the cop. "Two out of five people in Officer St. John's morals are dead. Every partner he has ever worked with, dead. The whole is a test from St. John."
Silver takes some down photos and shows them to Blaze "Look at these and tell me how you feel."
"Enraged."
"Exactly Jigsaw wants St. John to feel what he feels."
The cop Silver spoke to run on Sonic's last known address came to tell him. "Sonic's last known address is a couple of blocks from here."
At the packaging plant, Mina walks over to her bed and opens a first aid kit and takes out the equipment. She takes a bottle her mind is going through a bit mental. She walks and dumps the bottle into some tools and takes a knife. She walks to her bed and places the knife on her bare leg. There are three long scars on her leg from running the knife on her leg.
Swat entered the supposed location of where Sonic should be reported all clear. Silver and Blaze enter the place to find two folders one has the writing: OPEN THE DOOR AND YOU'll FIND ME and the other had the writing: YOU ARE IN DANGER OF GETTING TOO CLOSE...STAND BACK. Silver sees a security camera, walks over and breaks it off the wall disabling it.
"What does it mean?" asked Blaze.
"You're the two Jigsaw titles."
Geoffrey enters the school and sees two arrows pointing right on the corridor doors. He turns right and sees a door with a question mark on the door on his left. He enters and sees a message on the blackboard saying: SAVE AS I SAVE. He sees Agunus and Hershey hanging. Agunus is dead. He sees the timer counting from 32:54. He turns around checking Hershey when she woke up and frightened Geoffrey. Hershey attempts to pull the last rod out. When Geoffrey approached her she tries to push him back and Geoffrey did just that.
"Calm down," he said.
"You got to help me. Don't go, don't leave me here!" weakened Hershey.
Geoffrey finds a recorder, plays it and hears John's voice.
"Hello, Officer St. John. What have you learned thus far? Experience is a harsh teacher. First comes the test, second comes the lesson. If you are to SAVE AS I SAVE, then you will see the person in front of you is but a student. So I ask you, Officer St. John: Has the pupil learned her lesson? Has she been told the error of her ways? Does she now view the world differently? Officer St. John, the key to this person's freedom lies in the palm of your hand, but only after she has done her own part. Can you play your role in her salvation? Once judgment has been made, though, the key to finding your next destination is just off the map."
Geoffrey walks over past Hershey who's reaching out to him; and finds a key and figuring out what should he do with her.
"He did this to you?" he asked.
He walks over and Pulls the rod out with Hershey assistance. The pain was even greater than last time. He sees the anatomy and looks behind it and finds a photo in a box. At the back it reads: GO HOME. The photo shows his wife.
"Where is she?" he asked to Hershey.
He takes a jacket and places over her to keep herm warm. "You have to save yourself."
He walks out and activates the fire alarm.
At the plant, Sonic is resting his head while the two victims argue.
"Why don't you fucking kill me?" said Nelson wearily.
"No," replied Sonic.
"Shut up!" muffled Manic.
"I don't want to play anymore," Nelson said weakly.
At the scene where Hershey and Agunus are, Blaze reads the message on the blackboard. "Save as I save. So what do you do, free her and let him die?"
"He hasn't got a chance the rods had gone through every major artery in his body. You're life is in her hands St. John didn't kill her, his wife did."
"She identified St. John as the one who saved her."
"Passed St. John's judgment, got fixed and got her freedom."
Blaze receives a phone call. The photographer takes some shots and a forensics dust a bow with an arrow in it for prints.
"Hey Silver," said Blaze. "I just found out something very interesting about three people in the traps. They all represented by a lawyer named Sonic.
"You got them all off?"
The forensics' fingerprint brush suddenly activated the bow causing it to launch the arrow Silver moves Blaze out of the way. The two dodged it and the arrow shot into the photographer's face fatally killing her.
The two walk out of the room. Silver begins talking. "So Blaze, where's the lair?"
"It doesn't exist."
"Jigsaw wanted us to find that place. Where's the new game being played?"
"Here, this building."
The two arm themselves and search the area. They come across a room with Billy sitting on a chair with candles lit around him. Blaze plays the tape recorder around Billy's neck and John's voice starts speaking.
"Hello, Agent Blaze and welcome to the world you have long studied. Your partner Agent Silver will soon take the life of an innocent man. Heed my warning, Agent Blaze: Your next move is critical."
Blaze starts to hear a clicking sound coming from the puppet. She leans closer and hears something in the puppet "Open the Door." The clicking and ticking becomes louder then Billy's face explodes. It pieces flew into Blaze's throat and face and Billy laughs mechanically. Silver immediately yells for help and places a jacket below her head.
Later she's taken to the hospital by ambulance. Before she's taken away, she hands Silver a key.
Back at the plant, Sonic is examining the monitors. The timer reads 19:45. Nelson tries to fake his way out of it by playing dead.
"Hey!" muffled Manic to Sonic.
Sonic gets up and walks over. As he examines Nelson, Nelson swings at him and moves off the ice block causing the electrode to go off balance. Sonic manages to grab him and outs him back on the block.
"Listen to me." Sonic said to Nelson. "You have nothing to worry about understand? Don't want you to worry."
He heads for the bag "As a matter of fact, in order to stay alive, you have to wait until the clock counts down."
He walks over with a magnum and gives it to Nelson. "If this other passes his test, then the three of us go free."
He places a bullet in the magnum "Live or die. You make the choice."
Back at the police station, Silver is contacting Blaze's mom telling her what happened to her. He's built up with frustration that he threw papers all over the office. Then he picked up a photo and looked at the newspaper. He has come to realise something. He takes another newspaper clipping and photos and leaves.
He heads to the room where Jill is held. "You see that Jill? That's a fucking file that has your name on it!" He hands her the clipping and photos. "Want to put someone's name on it? You start talking to me ok?" He points to the photos. "What's with the doll? What's with the tricycle? Who were John's business associates before he went insane?"
"He wasn't the associate type," replied Jill.
"Where the hell is Sonic? Obstruction to justice aiding a conspirator to murderer."
Jill said nothing.
"Talk to me!" shouted Silver. He starts to lose patience. "Not saying anything will make people die. He's a business partner, he's a friend, he's an accomplice we have been looking for and he's your fucking lawyer."
He moves table and pushes Jill to the wall. "You see that?" he shows the blood stains on him. "That's my partner's blood. She's fighting for life right now because of your lunatic husband. What happened between Jigsaw and Sonic?"
Meanwhile, Mina comes into the room where John is resting while Aleena puts back on her jewellery. Mina embraces John.
"He can't hear you" Aleena said to Mina. "He doesn't know you're there."
Mina suddenly becomes furious. She walks over and turns Aleena around and is about to draw out her gun.
"Mina!" shouted John waking up. "Put it away."
Mina puts away the gun.
"Leave us alone" John continued.
Mina leaves furiously.
"May I apologize for her behaviour?" asked John. "Her emotion is also her weakness."
While looking at the monitors her hand starts to bleed. She looks at it and sees a straight razor in her hand realizing her weakness. Then she throws it furiously.
Shadow and Ixis continue moving on. Ixis begins to cough. Shadow finds a box with a note saying: Your one step closer to your revenge. He finds a bullet magazine and another torn piece of the photo showing Cream.
"There not even death, nothing," Ixis said to Shadow. "You need to take the pain out of you. Vengeance doesn't solve anything it makes the pain greater Shadow."
Shadow put the three pieces together showing him and his kids. He kicks down the door causing a tripwire to pull a pin. He finds Mephiles, the hedgehog who killed his son. He's placed in a Rack Trap with his hands and feet nailed down. Mephiles has fear in his eyes.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Mephiles asked.
Shadow plays the recorder around Mephiles' neck and John's voice is heard.
"Hello Shadow. If you are listening to this, that means that the confrontation you so long dreamed of is finally unfolding. In your head he is a cypher, a symbol of your life changing, a symbol of death. I present him to you now as a simple human being. His name is Mephiles, he's 27 years old, a medical student with a mother and a father just like you. A man whose life also changed on the day your son died. That day he made a terrible mistake. You believed he didn't pay for that mistake, and now is your chance to make him pay." Ixis finds a glass box with a key tied to the trigger of a shotgun. "The device Mephiles is strapped to is my personal favourite. I call it The Rack. The human body is a miraculous creation. Ever wonder how far the arm can twist?" The door suddenly closes and the part of the rack holding Mephiles' right arm begins to twist. "This device is going to start twisting. There is a chance he might live though, with your help. To your right is a box. At the back of the box is a key. It's tied to the trigger of a shotgun. The question you have to ask yourself is this: are you willing to take a bullet for the man who killed your son? Does "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" apply here, Shadow? Make your choice."
The door suddenly closes and the part of the rack holding Mephiles' right arm begins to twist. Ixis tries to break the glass but it didn't break.
"Have mercy," panicked Mephiles as his arm continues twisting.
Shadow slowly begins to break down feeling the pain Mephiles has. Ixis grabs the key but didn't take it and finds other way of taking the key without setting off the gun. After Mephiles' right arm is twisted fully, his other arm begins to twist causing so much pain. Ixis runs and ties to stop the turning but no response. Shadow continues to fill the agony and despair. Next came the right leg Ixis continues to find a way to free Mephiles while Shadow looks at the gears which causes the shot gun to fire. After the right leg is turned fully, His left leg starts turning. Ixis tells Mephiles to hold on, but all he could do is scream in pain. Shadow takes the key off the hook.
"I got the key," he said.
He lets go of the string and hears a blast. Ixis is shot in the side of his face. Shadow runs over to find a hole to unlock the rack. Then Mephiles head start to turn. Shadow fills with worry and panics a bit. Then Mephiles head is turned 180 degrees killing him in the process. Shadow breaks down realizing it's too late.
At the interrogation room Jill starts to sob. "I don't think he could ever forgive me. His time was over. He was diagnosed with cancer soon after that."
"Did you try contacting him?" asked Silver.
"I tried. But a different person crawled out of the wreckage. Someone else survived."
At the plant Mina is taking Shadows progress via monitors John asks Aleena.
"You asked me tell me about your husband." John said to Aleena.
"Last time I saw him we were so disconnected. But now, I give anything in the world...to see my husband."
"I'm always fascinated by husbands who barely look up to their wives. Wives on their backs telling ones with perfect strangers, leaving their own children to neglect them. Til death do us part indeed."
Aleena walks over to him plucking up courage. "I don't know what you think, but my marriage has survived more suffering, than someone like you could ever grasp."
"Someone like me..."
"A monster and a murderer."
"I don't come down as a murderer. I despise murderers."
Mina walks in to see Aleena and John holding hands.
"Please let me go," begged Aleena.
"You need Mina for this one. You said you'll be fine."
He looks over to Mina. "Mina, would you excuse us for a moment?"
Aleena leaves and walks through the hall and sees some of John's "experiments". She sees a door. She tries opening it but it's locked. She tries using the scalpel but it's no use. She sees a chisel and takes it. She wiggles it in the door and unlocks it. After taking a few steps she walks into a fence. Behind it is a telephone, but the fenced door Aleena is standing in front of is locked. She tries unlocking it with the scalpel but then hears a noise. She walks to the double door and closes it. She takes the chisel and puts it back in a flash. Mina walks in and sees her gasping for breath. Mina walks over to her.
"He needs you," she said.
Mina follows Aleena for a few steps and turns towards the door. She saw her. Mina notices the unlocked door. "Why is the door open?"
Aleena attacks her with a scalpel but Mina dodges it. The two started fighting, throwing stuff and knocking over things. Aleena presses Mina at the mesh.
"I'll fucking kill you!" yelled Aleena.
"You'll never get the key for the collar," said Mina evilly.
Aleena takes one of her keys and attempts to unlock it. The key doesn't fit and she tries it in the fenced door, it doesn't fit either and throws it. Aleena walks away while Mina smiles in triumph and takes a break.
Silver tries to think while Jill watches him. He stops, takes the file with newspaper and photos and leaves. He suddenly looks at the newspaper. He walks back to room and confronts Jill. "Four Walls Build a Home. Someone's named after John's business right?"
"Yes," said Jill sternly.
"Where is it?"
He spits out in rage saying it three times, and says it the fourth time quietly. The newspaper shows Gideon meat packaging plant.
