Screenplay data
Adam and Lawrence Gordon awaken chained in a bathroom, realizing they are pawns in a deadly game orchestrated by the Jigsaw Killer, while flashbacks reveal Detective Tapp's obsessive investigation into Jigsaw, leading to his partner's death and Lawrence's implication in the case. As the game progresses, Lawrence discovers his family is being held hostage by Zep, an orderly from his hospital, who is forcing him to complete his task, while Adam remembers being hired by Tapp to photograph Lawrence, leading to a confrontation between the two men. With time running out, Lawrence receives a call from his wife, who is fighting Zep, while Tapp arrives at Lawrence's house and confronts Zep, prompting Lawrence to saw off his own foot to reach a gun and shoot Zep, only for Adam to bludgeon Zep to death. The true Jigsaw Killer, John Kramer, who was disguised as a dead body in the bathroom the entire time, then reveals himself, seals Adam in the bathroom, and leaves Lawrence to crawl away, bleeding profusely.

Adam, John KramerNo, no, he was discharged from the police force. He broke down after his partner was killed, but that didn't stop him from harassing me. The guy became obsessed. He's convinced himself that I must have somehow been involved with the murders. He's...he's crazy. And you helped him. You took money from him to invade my privacy. How could you do that?
What I saw was you get into your car. That's it. I didn't ask your name. I didn't know who you were. I don't know how I got here, I don't know how you got here. I just took the shots and went straight home to develop the. Next thing I know I'm chained to a pipe in some prehistoric bathroom, staring at the guy I've been taking shots of all night.
Dr. Gordon, this is your wake up call. Every day of your working life, you have given people the news that they are going to die soon. Now you will be the cause of death. Your aim in this game is to kill Adam.
Had you...had you on your knees. You're running. You're running... You're running scared because we had you. I'm going to close this case. Ram close it. Right, Sing? Right? We're gonna close it, Sing.
Sweetheart, are you okay? Mommy just needs you to be really, really, really strong right now. I'm not gonna let anybody hurt you. You got that? Okay, that's my good girl.
He calls himself Bob and he gives me the money up front. Two hundred bucks a night. If I'd have known I was gonna end up here, I would've asked for a hell of a lot more.
Awake already, Jeff? I need more powerful tranquilizers next time. Don't cry. I've given your life a purpose. You're a test subject for something greater than yourself.
What are you more pissed off about? The fact that I took some shots of you or the fact that I took some shots of you while you were cheating on your wife?
