![]() He believes that Adam has died, but declares that Gordon was too late in doing the deed. Zep shows up, opens the door, and gives Adam’s body a kick. He yells “FUCK THIS SHIT”, cuts his own foot off with the hacksaw provided, takes the gun from the hand of the ‘corpse’ in the middle of the room, puts a single bullet it in it, and shoots Adam. ![]() Meanwhile, Gordon, who heard some of the commotion at his house down a phone line, gets rather worked up. Zep heads for the bathroom, and gets caught up in a rather lo-fi car chase with Tapp. Luckily, they put up a fight, and Danny Glover’s troubled former detective David Tapp shows up and chases Zep from the scene. Michael Emerson’s Zep, who has been monitoring the bathroom situation remotely (as part of his own game), begins trying to kill Gordon’s family. The clock strikes six, and Adam is still alive. And, to be fair, he does quite a few things: he fesses up about the fact that he was spying on Gordon before the game began he works with Gordon to find clues he locates the hacksaws, and tries to cut through the chains he colludes with Gordon and comes up with a sneaky plan to play dead and cheat the game (which doesn’t work, because he gets electrocuted by the chain) and, perhaps most impressively, he stays alive past six o’clock… “Look… we’re out of time!” But in this game, only Lawrence is given a way to win: kill Adam, and your family survives, and you won’t be left in a bathroom to die.Īdam, on the other hand, is just encouraged to ‘do something’. He just puts people in situations where they might die, unless they learn his lesson and win whatever game they’re put in. The received wisdom about Jigsaw, which this movie and all the others spell out, is that he isn’t a murderer. Gordon… and I’ll leave you in this room to rot. If you do not kill Adam by six, then Alison and Diana will die, Dr. Just remember, X marks the spot for the treasure. There are ways to win this, hidden all around you. When there’s that much poison in your blood, the only thing left to do – is shoot yourself. You have until six on the clock to do it. Everyday of your working life you have given people the news that they’re gonna die soon. So are you going to watch yourself die here today, Adam, or do something about it?” But what do voyeurs see when they look into the mirror? Now I see you as a strange mix of someone angry, yet apathetic. Up until now, you’ve simply sat in the shadows watching others live out their lives. You might be in the room that you die in. ![]() Adam listens to his tape first, hearing this grim message: They borrow a cassette recorder from the ‘corpse’ in the middle of the room. Gordon makes another logical move: to try and open the door, which is within his reach. Gordon, using his vast medical knowledge, poo-poos this theory. Searching for a meaning for this, Adam speculates that their kidneys have been removed and put on eBay. But Adam soon finds out that only one person can hear him (except for Jigsaw himself, who’s hidden in plain sight on the floor): Doctor Gordon, who’s chained up in a similar manner – sans bath – on the other side of the room. At this stage, before Adam has heard a single tape from Tobin Bell’s John Kramer (aka The Jigsaw Killer), you can’t really criticise him for breaking the rules, getting it wrong, or squandering his chance.Īdam’s initial reaction, upon realising that he’s chained up in a grimy bathroom, is to cry for help. He accidently pulls the plug out in the process, which turns out to be rather important later on. Naturally, Adam scrambles around a bit and gets out of the tub. ![]() The last thing he remembers is a pig-mask-wearing attacker coming at him in his dingy apartment. He’s totally unaware at this stage that he’s in a game at all. “Help! Someone help me! Is someone there? Hey! Oh shit, I’m probably dead.”Īdam wakes up in a bathtub.
