Jason stumbled out into the hallway. He was limping on his legs. They killed Crystal, they destroyed his life. He needed to escape before they destroyed him. He heard the footsteps of someone inside the Gideon factory. Jason went into a room, and shut the door. He had to hide. Jason turned on the lights, and looked around him. He saw several news articles, and photos of random people. What the hell was this? He examined the photos. They were of random in-sanitarium members who were insane, people on the police force, businessmen and women, one of each and many more.

Jason- "It's spiraled out of control."

He finally got what it all meant. The apprentices, it all made sense. John had never wanted to just have two apprentices…he wanted his message to spread, to have people putting their neighbors in traps. Apprentices having apprentices who had apprentices…it was a fucking chain of events, a whole century of Jigsaws. All led by the pendulum killer and Hoffman. Only he must not have counted on Hoffman, and Hoffman must've had his own agenda. What could that be? Jason didn't know.

Meanwhile, Hoffman and The Pendulum Killer made their way outside toward the van.

Hoffman- "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE CAR LAWRENCE!"

The Pendulum Killer checked the inside of the car. No one was inside. Hoffmans eyes widened.

Hoffman- "It's a fucking set up!"

He turned around to the Pendulum Killer. He saw a pig mask man slowly make his way behind him.

Hoffman- "Get down"

The Pendulum killer ducked down. Hoffman shot the pig mask man in the chest. The Pendulum Killer then got up and stuck a knfie in the pig mask mans head. Behind Hoffman, two more pig mask men came out. Hoffman shot both in the head, and The Pendulum Killer stabbed another hiding in the bushes.

Hoffman- "Nice try Lawrence. But next time you want to get the survivors of Jigsaw together…"

He knelt down and pulled off the mask of one of the pig mask men. It was Brent, heaving blood.

Hoffman- "You better have them armed with something better then tranquilizers."

He shot Brent in the head.

Hoffman- "Let's go, back inside."

Him and The Pendulum Killer went back inside the Gideon Factory. Hoffman went into a side room, and locked the door. There was a bright light in the room. Hoffman went to a desk, and pulled out a picture of his sister Angela.

Hoffman- "Angela…if you can hear me now, I want you to listen."

A tear rolled down his face as he continued.

Hoffman- "I did this for you, and I hope you know that. All this has been for you, so we could leave peacefully from your murderer."

He sniffled, as he continued. A tear went down his eye, and he was close to loosing it.

Hoffman- "I haven't spoken much about you anymore, but I'm doing it now. I've made some mistakes, and I lost my head over this, and I killed a lot of people. I became a bad person, and I realize that now. After thinking it over…"

More tears came down his eyes, and he put his head on his hand for a little. Then he lifted it up again.

Hoffman- "That if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have done what I did to Seth. He deserved Jail time, not death. I love you so much, and…I miss you here. If there's a Heaven, a place after this life that we live, I know you're in it. I've made too many mistakes to be up there with you…I'm almost done with what I've had to do. And when I'm done, maybe I'll get a second chance. Save some lives, get myself in control again. Do what I was meant to do on this earth in the first place."

Hoffman put down the picture, and took a drink of alcohol next to him. He then turned to a monitor of security cameras, then watched a video of the carnival located behind the Gideon factory.

Matt and Allie sat on a bench. She was crying in his arms.

Allie- "I almost died…I came so close."

Matt- "You're okay now."

Allie- "Was I really going to die from you in 2 weeks?"

Matt turned away from her. What was he going to say? The truth, he had to tell her the truth.

Matt- "The plan was to kill you in 2 weeks. But I wasn't going to go along with it, I was going to Paris today. See my wife and kids again."

Allie- "Why couldn't you see them sooner?"

Matt sighed.

Matt- "Because after they found out I had killed people, they put them in witness protection program. The truth is, the only reason I kept working for the mob after I was caught was to save up money and see them again. I made a mistake, one which someone knows."

He pointed up to a security camera watching them.

Allie- "I know you're a good person Matt. If you weren't, you wouldn't have saved me back there. Maybe you had planned to kill me in 2 weeks, but you didn't, and for that I'm grateful."

She put her hand on Matt's thigh. He smiled.

Matt- "Yeah, I guess so. Let's go, we have one more test to complete."

She got up, and waited for Matt to get up with her.

Allie- "Matt?"

His legs started to shake, and he then burst into hysterical tears. She came back down and held him.

Matt- "My moms dead…"

She held him, as the two of them exchanged a love that Matt had never felt in his life, nor had Allie.

(SECOND TO LAST CHAPTER. Tell me what you all think, next chapter is the grand finale I've been planning from the beginning. It's going to be great, and I hope you all love it. In my eyes, Saw 3D didn't deliver a good enough closure on these characters, so I hope to deliver that here. It has a great twist, a Sherlock Holmes type of reveal, and a great final test with Matt. Matts game, The main plot, Hoffman, The Pendulum Killer, The Pigmasks, Gordon, The Survivors, it ALL fits into one giant category. That category has yet to be named though. It'll be up soon)
