When Kerry came home after investigating the latest crime scene at the school, she rewatched the instruction tape from Troy's game, which was still intact despite the explosion. While she watched the video over and over again, she suddenly saw herself on the TV screen. Realizing that she was filmed from inside her closet, Kerry grabbed her gun and shot right through its door.
When she searched the closet, she found the camera and removed it but was then subdued by an invader with a pig mask, who snuck up on her. Amanda Young and Detective Hoffman took her to an underground room and placed her in a deadly trap. Suspended above the floor by two chains, Kerry was put in a harness consisting of twelve metal brackets hooked into her rib cage.
When Kerry woke up again, she immediately realized what had happened to her and started to panic. Moments later, a TV turned on in front of her. Jigsaw's ventriloquist puppet appeared on-screen and revealed to Kerry that she was abducted because she was obsessed with her work to the point where she preferred the presence of a dead body over that of a living human being. It told her to grab the key to her trap from an acid-filled beaker hanging in front of her.
Otherwise, the device would kill her after 60 seconds. When the tape ended and the TV turned off, Kerry further panicked and tried to tip the acid out of the beaker. However, this wasn't possible as it was held in place by two chains.
After some initial hesitation, she finally tried to get the key but pulled her hand back due to the massive pain. Nonetheless, she could bring herself to try it once again and eventually got the key from the glass, which she used to unlock the device. Unfortunately, the lock was without function, destroying her remaining hope to survive. Mere seconds before the timer expired, Amanda entered the room. Kerry recognized her and realized it was her who had manipulated Troy's trap as well as her own.
Moments later, the timer went off, causing the contraption to tear her rib cage apart. Four days after Detective Kerry's demise, John and his accomplices made the last arrangements for the final game. It revolved around a man named Jeff Denlon , who was obsessed with his thirst for revenge after his son, Dylan , was accidentally killed by a drunk driver named Timothy Young three years earlier.
Furthermore, John's former doctor and Jeff's wife, Dr. Lynn Denlon , was forced to participate in the game as well. It should be her task to keep the severely weakened John alive until her husband managed to overcome a series of tests. These tests took place at the abandoned Gideon Meatpacking Plant , John and Amanda's hideout at that time. When the day of the final games had come, Amanda took John to his quarter.
On their way, they came across Mark Hoffman, who worked on a trap called " The Rack. When Hoffman asked him how many more games he had planned, John merely responded that their work would go on as long as necessary. Afterward, Hoffman recklessly dumped the unconscious body of Timothy Young out of a wheelbarrow to put him in the trap. John reminded him that Timothy was still a human being and asked him if he enjoyed the feeling of brutality.
Hoffman responded that John wanted to see Timothy suffer just as much as he did. When he was about to continue his work, he engaged in a brief argument with Amanda, who asked him when he would be tested. Hoffman answered that this wasn't necessary as he, unlike Amanda, had always valued his life, thereby pointing to the self-inflicted scars on her wrists.
Amanda mocked him and advised him to get used to her as he wouldn't get rid of her. He, however, only asked her if she was sure about that. Eventually, John interrupted the two of them. After that, he and Amanda went on and allowed Hoffman to finish his work on the trap. On their way to their improvised sleeping quarters, they unexpectedly came across Jill. As he wanted to talk to her alone, John told Amanda that she had to leave to abduct Lynn Denlon and bring her to the meatpacking plant in time.
Eager to fulfill his orders, Amanda left the building and went to the Angel of Mercy Hospital. Disguised with a pig mask, Amanda entered the hospital undetected and waited for Lynn Denlon.
When the doctor came back from the accident and emergency department and entered the changing room, Amanda followed her and locked the door. As Lynn was about to leave and realized she was trapped, she tried to call for help with her mobile.
However, before she could do so, Amanda subdued her and took her to the Gideon Plant. Upon their arrival, she strapped her to a wheelchair and then left to go on some final errands for John.
When Amanda eventually returned, she turned the surveillance monitors and the lights on, causing Lynn to wake up from her unconsciousness. Realizing that she had been abducted, Lynn desperately screamed for help. Amanda calmly approached her and told her to be quiet before she brought her to John, who was already waiting for them in his provisional sickroom.
When Amanda and Lynn entered the room, John greeted his test subject and former doctor, who didn't remember him and only recognized him from the television news about the Jigsaw murders. After introducing himself, he reminded Lynn of their last conversation at the hospital and presented her with his medical file before explaining the rules of her game.
Amanda put a collar on Lynn's neck, which was connected to John's heart rate monitor and equipped with five explosive charges. If John flatlined or Lynn moved too far away from him, those charges would detonate and kill her in the process. John told her that it was her task in this game to keep him alive until another test subject managed to overcome a series of tests.
However, he didn't tell her that this other person was, in fact, her husband. Amanda, who was present the entire time, didn't realize that John also tested her, as Lynn's instructions were meant for her as well.
Soon afterward, Lynn started her examination and found out that John's brain was herniating. When Amanda told them that Jeff's game had begun, Lynn tried to convince her to take John to a hospital to undergo surgery and relieve the pressure on his brain.
This suggestion led to an argument between her and Amanda, who insulted and threatened her until John intervened. He reminded her that Lynn couldn't fulfill her task if she were threatened and that Amanda had to follow the rules just like everyone else involved. Only seconds later, he suddenly suffered a severe cerebral seizure, which he just barely survived due to Lynn's help.
Thereby, she eventually convinced Amanda, who was still in shock, that John had to be operated on. However, Amanda told her to perform the surgery at the meatpacking plant and asked her what she needed. Realizing that every attempt to convince her to take John to the hospital was pointless, Lynn told her that she would need anesthetics and a drilling machine, among other instruments.
After that, Amanda left to get the necessary supplies. After her return, she saw that Lynn was walking around the hideout and accidentally activated one of John's traps - the one which he had used to test Amanda long ago.
When Amanda approached her from behind, she frightened her witless. Lynn tried to convince her once again to take John to a hospital. However, Amanda ignored her advice and simply remarked how hard it must be for Lynn to concentrate while being surrounded by so many things she could use to kill her. To mock her, she thrust an ax into her hands and told her that if she wanted to kill her, she should do it quietly. Otherwise, the noise could alert John and make him rip off his heart rate monitor, which would activate the collar.
Amanda also told her that she had built the collar and knew what it would do to her if she didn't follow the rules. As Lynn was increasingly frightened, Amanda took the ax back from her and asked her if she had everything she needed for the surgery. When Lynn answered that she couldn't save John's life with the instruments given to her, Amanda merely responded that she'd be surprised what tools could save a life before she took her old trap from the floor and put it back on the table.
Afterward, she went back to John's quarter and sat down at his sickbed. She told him about Jeff's progress, who had just finished his first test in one of the freezer rooms inside the building.
During that test, he had unsuccessfully tried to save a woman named Danica Scott , who was the only witness of the accident that killed his son but refused to testify against the drunk driver.
Furthermore, Amanda explained that Lynn was almost ready to perform the surgery to relieve his pain. Due to this emotionally stressful situation, John encouraged Amanda to stay strong and told her that something was left for her to do. Therefore, he told her about a letter with her name in the drawer of her desk. When Amanda left the room again to observe the game, Lynn prepared everything in John's room for the operation. Just as she shaved the back of his head, Amanda returned and informed him that Jeff had passed his second test and thereby saved a judge named Halden , who sentenced the murderer of Jeff's son to a light sentence of merely six months in prison.
Upon hearing this, John was surprised by Jeff's fast progress. Afterward, Lynn explained the operation to him, during which she would remove a piece of his skullcap to relieve the pressure on his brain and enhance his motor faculties.
Then, she injected him with a local anesthetic, as the surgery's complexity required John to stay awake. Following the injection, Lynn cut off a large part of his scalp to expose the skull. After cleaning the wound with alcohol, she used a power drill to bore four holes in his head in rectangular order. She then cut out this rectangle with an electric circular saw and removed the bone fragment with a small retractor.
After his vital functions stabilized, Lynn told him to raise his hand and flex his fingers. However, upon doing so, he suffered a breakdown, causing Amanda to burst into tears. While his heart rate declined dramatically, he hallucinated his ex-wife. Lynn just barely managed to stabilize and save him once more. However, as he was still in a delirious state, he mistook her for Jill and told her that he loved her.
Therefore, Amanda, who misunderstood the situation, left the room because she was jealous of his attachment for Lynn. Distressed by the knowledge of John's impending death and her jealousy, Amanda went to her bed and took out a small metal box with medical supplies such as bandages and compresses.
Remembering all the things she had done for John, she began to cut her inner thigh with a knife, which helped her deal with the emotional stress.
Once Amanda had managed to calm down, she bound up her wound and returned to John, who was sleeping as he had to recover from the surgery. While Lynn washed off the blood and looked at the various pictures and drawings on the walls, Amanda tightly hugged John. However, when Lynn told her that he couldn't hear her and didn't even know about her presence, she became angry and grabbed her by the throat. Just as she was about to pull her gun, John woke up and harshly ordered her to put the gun away and leave, which she eventually did after some hesitation.
When she returned after a while, she saw John holding Lynn's hand. John told her he was fine, and she could go away. However, she refused to do so until John asked Lynn to leave the room so he could speak with Amanda alone. After a brief discussion with Amanda, he ordered his accomplice to bring Lynn back. She left the room again and approached Lynn, telling her that John needed her.
However, she got suspicious of Lynn's behavior and examined the exit door, which Lynn had opened with a screwdriver. When Amanda asked why the door was open, Lynn embraced the opportunity and attacked her with a scalpel, causing the two of them to engage in a fight.
After a brief struggle, Lynn finally managed to gain the upper hand and threatened to kill Amanda. However, the latter was rarely impressed by her threats and told her that she would never get the key to the collar if she killed her.
Lynn ripped off a key that was hanging on a chain around Amanda's neck. Unfortunately, she quickly realized the key wasn't meant for the collar. When Amanda mockingly laughed at her, Lynn angrily left her behind and went back to John. After Lynn disappeared, Amanda eventually lost her composure and started to cry. She went to her surveillance room and took out the letter from her desk, which John had told her about. However, it was actually written by Mark Hoffman.
Hoffman knew about her involvement in the robbery of Jill Tuck's clinic long ago, which had caused the death of her unborn child, Gideon. He threatened her to tell John the truth if she didn't do as he said and ordered her to kill Lynn Denlon. This further distressed Amanda and worsened her emotional state even more. To take revenge on Hoffman, she went to a room where Corbett Denlon , the daughter of Lynn and Jeff Denlon, was locked up. She desperately warned her that she mustn't trust the one who would save her.
As she already knew that Hoffman would be the one to free Corbett once the game was over, Amanda hoped that the girl would tell the police about her warning and thereby give them a clue to Hoffman's identity as Jigsaw's accomplice.
After talking to Corbett, Amanda returned to John's room and told him that Jeff had finished his third test. John congratulated Lynn and told her that she could go. However, Amanda refused to remove Lynn's collar as Jeff hadn't finished his game yet. After John repeatedly told her to follow the rules and free Lynn from her collar, Amanda pulled her gun and aimed it at the doctor, stating that she didn't deserve to be free.
Therefore, Lynn burst into tears. When John told Amanda once more to put down the gun and explained to her that her life was in Lynn's hands, she angrily yelled at him for giving Lynn control over her. During their argument, John asked her if she felt that hatred for all of her test subjects, especially Eric Matthews, and thereby revealed that he knew that Amanda had manipulated her games and deliberately killed her victims.
To convince her to let Lynn go, he told Amanda that he had forgiven her and that Lynn's death would entail severe consequences for all of them. However, Amanda still refused to let her go and accused John of being a murderer, just like her.
Furthermore, she revealed that she didn't believe in John's moral philosophy, according to which people could change. When she asked him why Lynn was so important to him, John answered that she wasn't important to him but to Amanda, which she denied.
During his final attempt to calm her down, Jeff suddenly appeared outside the room. Upon seeing him, Lynn immediately went to him but was shot in the back by Amanda. Disappointed by her failure, John finally revealed to her that Lynn was Jeff's wife. Therefore, Jeff entered the room and shot Amanda in the throat with a gun he had found earlier.
While she lay on the floor bleeding, John admitted that he had tested her the whole time to see if she could save the life of another human being. Knowing that she had become just another one of her mentor's test subjects, she eventually succumbed to her wound and died. John then ended her test with the words "Game Over. Following Amanda's death, Jeff aimed his gun at John, who scolded him for having learned nothing from his test and still being obsessed with vengeance, which would only harm his loved ones, including his daughter, who needed him more than ever before.
Furthermore, he told him that he couldn't kill him. Nonetheless, Jeff pulled the trigger, albeit his magazine was empty. When John reminded him that his wife was about to die, Jeff briefly got his senses back, comforted her, and promised her to bring her home. However, John warned him that she'd die if he tried to move her and offered to call an ambulance.
Jeff agreed and accepted John's conditions, who demanded one final test to see if Jeff could overcome his thirst for revenge. He could either kill John with one of the various tools around him or forgive him and prove that he learned his lesson. Even though Lynn begged him to stay with her, Jeff got up and grabbed a circular saw from a table nearby.
Then, he approached John, put his hand on his chest, and told him that he forgave him. However, only a few seconds later, Jeff activated the saw and, albeit Lynn desperately begged him to stop, slashed John's throat. Once more, he mockingly said that he forgave John.
Moments later, Lynn's collar was activated. With the last of his strength, John took out a tape recorder that contained a recorded message for Jeff, which told him that he failed his final test. Furthermore, he learned why he couldn't kill John, as the latter had also abducted his and Lynn's daughter, Corbett, and was the only person who knew where she was.
The tape told Jeff that his daughter only had a limited air supply, and if he wanted to find her, he had to play another game. When the recording was over, John succumbed to his injuries, resulting in the detonation of Lynn's collar and her subsequent death. Only moments later, a special agent named Peter Strahm entered the room after being guided to the meatpacking plant through his own game.
When he aimed his gun at Jeff and told him to show him his hands, Jeff raised his weapon and demanded to know where his daughter was. Therefore, Strahm shot him in self-defense. Shortly afterward, he was trapped by Mark Hoffman, who closed the door behind him and turned off the light. Upon further examining the room, Strahm eventually found a secret door.
Behind it, Strahm found another recorder with a message from John, who warned him to stay where he was and wait for the police to arrive. Strahm, however, refused to do so and instead entered the hallway behind the door. Later that night, the police eventually found the corpses and took them to the morgue, where Dr. Adam Heffner performed the autopsies on their bodies.
Jill Tuck. There, she made acquaintance with another patient, Cecil Adams , and soon became his girlfriend. One night, Amanda suffered from extreme withdrawal symptoms and convinced Cecil to rob the clinic and steal the methadone supplies.
They drove to the clinic and invaded the building when they came across Jill. While Amanda hid in a corner, Cecil threatened Jill with a pair of scissors, forcing her to open the door to the clinic.
After she obeyed his order, Cecil told her to stand back. He quickly stole the medications and then ran back. Thereby, he accidentally slammed a doorknob into Jill's stomach, who was pregnant at this time.
As she saw the blood on her skirt, she slumped down and started to cry. Cecil tried to calm her down and asked her what happened. However, when he realized what he had done, he quickly fled and left Amanda behind. Shocked by watching the accident, Amanda panicked and went back to her hiding spot. Sometime later, Amanda was targeted by John Kramer , better known as the Jigsaw Killer, who was Jill's ex-husband and the father of her miscarried son, Gideon.
After abducting her, he took her to an abandoned warehouse. There, he strapped Amanda to a chair and put a mechanical contraption on her head. This device, which was equipped with a timer, was hooked into Amanda's upper and lower jaw. He also abducted Donald Greco , another one of Jill's patients, and injected him with an opiate overdose, rendering him unable to move or feel anything.
When John prepared Amanda's game, he made Donald swallow a key. After finishing all of his preparations, John left the building. Shortly afterward, Amanda woke up. Although she was initially confused, she quickly started to panic upon realizing that she was trapped. Amanda desperately tried to free herself from her restraints but stopped when a TV turned on next to her.
A mechanical ventriloquist puppet named Billy appeared on-screen and introduced her to her game. The doll described the device on her head as a "reverse bear trap," which would rip her mouth open if she did not manage to free herself within 60 seconds. To do so, she had to cut the key to the device from the stomach of her supposedly dead cellmate. When the TV turned off, Amanda panicked again.
After initially struggling, she ultimately freed her arms from her restraints. However, as she got up from the chair, a metal pin was pulled out of the deadly device, setting off the timer.
Amanda saw Donald's seemingly lifeless body. After a moment of hesitation, Amanda realized her cellmate was not dead but only paralyzed. Nonetheless, she took a knife lying next to him and repeatedly stabbed the helpless man. After killing him, Amanda searched through his stomach for the key. When she eventually found it, she unlocked her trap and freed herself only moments before its activation. In a panic, Amanda fled and ultimately found a way out of the building.
Following her near-death experience, Amanda went to the police station. After a doctor examined her wounds, she was interrogated by Detective David Tapp. Shortly afterward, Amanda gave an interview on the steps of the city hall to tell the public how she felt during her traumatic experience. However, a press officer of the police kept her from publishing details about the case.
Lawrence Gordon: she woke up with a device on her head, set to rip her jaws apart. The key to the device was in the stomach of her seemingly dead cellmate, Donnie Greco , who was actually heavily sedated; she killed him and freed herself seconds before the device went off and sprang open.
In the original script, Donnie Greco was written to be Amanda's drug dealer. It is revealed in Saw II that Amanda started using heroin in jail, after being framed by Detective Eric Matthews for a crime she did not commit. In most of the film, she appeared as one of the subjects Jigsaw trapped in the Nerve Gas House, including Daniel , Eric 's son. At the end of the film it is revealed that Amanda was in fact working for John, seeing him as a leader, a teacher, and a father figure, and agreed to become his apprentice and eventually successor.
Amanda claims that her experience in the first film ultimately saved her life, and this is what caused her to join John. Saw III revealed that Amanda had been working with John since the first film; her first task was kidnapping one of the film's protagonists, Adam Stanheight , and shortly after Adam failed his test and was left for dead, she gave Adam a mercy killing out of guilt, to end his suffering.
In a deleted scene, which takes place before the events of the first film, Adam is shown handing out flyers for his friend's band's show, he sees Amanda and gives one to her, and also asks to take her picture. Flashbacks in Saw III also revealed after Matthews failed his test and was left for dead, he escaped and engaged in a vicious fight with Amanda, demanding to know the whereabouts of his son.
Amanda eventually subdued Matthews and escaped. As Amanda walked away, Matthews taunted her, saying that she's "not Jigsaw. In the original script draft, Amanda was written to kill Matthews by jumping on top of him and stabbing him in the neck multiple times with a knife, but this was ultimately dropped because the producers wanted to bring Donnie Wahlberg's character back for Saw IV.
Amanda eventually went on to design her own traps, though unlike John's in which the subject had a chance of surviving if they followed the rules, hers were inescapable. Distraught, a now dying John decided to give Amanda one last chance to prove that she had what it takes to carry on his legacy. As he lay on his deathbed, John ordered Amanda to kidnap surgeon Lynn Denlon , who was tasked with keeping him alive until another subject, Jeff Denlon , completed his test.
During this time, Amanda became upset upon seeing John being operated on and was hostile towards Lynn especially when he told Lynn that he "loved" her, when in fact he was delirious and hallucinating about his ex-wife, Jill Tuck. It was later revealed that Amanda, in the stress of her situation, had resumed her self-mutilation. Amanda was instructed by John to read a letter that was left for her, the contents of which remained unknown to both of them.
Upon reading it, Amanda broke down in tears. Amanda refused, saying that Lynn hadn't learned anything and didn't deserve to go free. John pleaded with Amanda to let her go, but Amanda ignored him and shot Lynn.
At this point, Jeff entered the room and shot Amanda in the neck. As Amanda bled to death a tearful John revealed to Amanda that Jeff and Lynn were husband and wife, and that she was being tested all along to see if she willed for Lynn to live. He explained that by making her traps unwinnable, her subjects were merely victims, and she wasn't testing anyone's will to live, thus defeating John's original purpose.
