What must the two men decide while trapped in the glass cage?

Plot Summary


Here’s a rephrased version of the given section:

The cinematic curtain opens with an eerie glass cage, its contents laid bare for a perplexed audience. Two men, seemingly acquainted, awaken to find themselves shackled to opposite ends of a table saw within the confines of the cage. The drama unfolds as a woman is suddenly unveiled, suspended above the two men like a macabre puppeteer. A diminutive figure, “Billy,” arrives on a trike, uttering an ominous warning: each man must decide whether his companion will meet a grisly demise, sparing the woman who has been entangled in their lives, or opt for a different fate – letting her succumb to the merciless saw. One individual begins to manipulate the table saw, only to have his counterpart push back with equal ferocity. The woman then professes her love to one of the men, prompting the spurned suitor’s winning streak. However, when she conveys similar sentiments to the victor-to-be, he remains skeptical, having just been assured of her affections mere moments prior. In a twisted climax, the two men decide to spare themselves and consign their shared love interest to a gruesome fate – her screams echoing through the glass cage as she’s bisected by the whirring saw, her entrails spilling out like a grisly tableau.

Meanwhile, Detective Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) narrowly escapes a deadly trap, his attention momentarily diverted from his pursuit of Jill Tuck (Betsy Russell), Jigsaw’s ex-wife and an individual with intimate knowledge of Hoffman’s psyche. Unbeknownst to Hoffman, Jill has been secretly laying the groundwork for her own plan. Seeking refuge in anonymity, she approaches Gibson (Chad Donella), a detective unaffiliated with the Jigsaw case, offering crucial information and evidence – provided he grants her immunity. Gibson agrees without hesitation.

Bobby Degen (Sean Patrick Flannery), a survivor of Jigsaw’s twisted game, has written a self-help book titled S.U.R.V.I.V.E., detailing his harrowing escape from a Jigsaw trap. Forged in the crucible of torture, Bobby has pierced his pectoral muscles with hooks, suspending himself above the ground as he recounts his ordeal to an audience comprising his closest confidant Cale (Dean Armstrong), lawyer Suzanne, publicist Nina (Naomi Snieckus), and wife Joyce (Gina Holden). As they deliberate on the success of the interview, tensions simmer between Bobby’s handlers, with Nina pushing for a more dramatic reveal – a kiss with Joyce, her presence on stage – while Cale, Suzanne, and Joyce believe the proceedings went smoothly.

In a desolate junkyard, a group of white supremacists find themselves in a precarious predicament. The driver (glued to his seat) and his cohorts - one bound to the front of the vehicle, another fastened to its rear - are at the mercy of their own twisted beliefs. A taunting tape broadcasts their crimes: judging others based on the color of their skin. Now, they’re forced to confront the notion that everyone’s insides are the same hue. With only thirty seconds to spare, the driver attempts to free himself from the seat, but ultimately fails. The consequences are dire: his chained girlfriend is crushed beneath the car, while another friend is torn apart as the vehicle careens through a pile of wrecked cars. The driver himself is tossed through the window, his back left mangled and exposed.

Meanwhile, Bobby, a self-proclaimed leader among Jigsaw survivors, hosts a gathering to share their collective experiences. Some attendees credit the traumatic events with personal growth, while others believe they’ve been irreparably scarred. Bobby’s pep talk aims to inspire optimism, but it’s met with sarcastic applause from a mysterious figure lurking in the shadows. This enigmatic individual questions the purpose of these meetings, implying that they’re little more than a marketing ploy for Bobby’s own celebrity status.

As the gathering concludes, Cale asks Bobby about a peculiar attendee - an elderly man armed with a cane. Bobby dismisses concerns, assuring them that this recurring figure is harmless and poses no threat. Joyce and her bodyguard depart, leaving Bobby to join them. But when he steps out into the empty parking lot, he’s suddenly ambushed, caught off guard by the brutal violence that awaits him.

As Bobby’s consciousness awakens, he finds himself trapped in a confined space, his gaze drawn to the television screen where the enigmatic puppet “Billy” materializes, presenting him with a stark reality: the narrative of his ordeal as a Jigsaw survivor is nothing more than a fabricated tale. The stakes are raised; Bobby must now prove his credentials by embarking on a series of challenges that will ultimately lead him to his wife, who remains captive in an unknown location. To initiate this odyssey, he must first manipulate a handle, causing the floor of his cage to plummet away, leaving him suspended above a bed of razor-sharp protrusions. With calculated precision, Bobby swings his legs clear of the perilous obstacle and takes the plunge, landing with a thud. A trail of crimson arrows etched in bold red script guides him through the labyrinthine environment, hinting at the cryptic clues that will unlock the secrets of this twisted game.

The first player to be introduced is Nina, who has been charged by Jigsaw for perpetuating falsehoods. Her predicament is one of dire consequence: a fishhook lodged deep in her throat, bound tight by a contraption that threatens to impale her at any moment. The device, attuned to the decibel level in the room, will unleash its deadly screws unless Nina remains resolute, uttering only whispers. A timer ticks away, poised to trigger the gruesome fate awaiting her unless Bobby can retrieve the key hidden within Nina’s stomach. The only means of liberation lies in extracting the fishhook, a task that proves agonizingly difficult as Bobby struggles to free Nina from her torment. As he finally manages to remove the hook, Nina’s screams of anguish reach a fever pitch, the screws executing their deadly design, and she succumbs to her fate. Shaken by the experience, Bobby can’t help but accuse Nina of being incapable of maintaining even the most basic level of silence.

As Suzanna (character) lies trapped, her fate hanging precariously in the balance, Jigsaw’s malevolent design reveals its true intention: to impale her through the eyes and mouth unless Bobby takes drastic action. The stakes are raised when Bobby is charged with freeing Suzanna by navigating a treacherous contraption that demands Herculean effort. Despite his valiant efforts, the device brutally strikes him as he lifts the weight, leaving him wracked with pain and unable to meet the 30-second deadline. Suzanna’s life slips away, a grim reminder of Jigsaw’s merciless logic.

The aftermath of Suzanna’s demise finds Bobby, now injured, limping towards the next room, where a haunting discovery awaits. A tattered copy of his own book lies before him, its cover missing, yet bearing his signature. This eerie hint at Jigsaw’s true identity sends shivers down Bobby’s spine as he begins to grasp the true nature of the game.

In a flashback, we find Bobby basking in the adoration of fans at a book signing event, where they praise the inspirational impact of his work. A man identifying himself as John (character) approaches, expressing skepticism about Bobby’s message, implying that dishonesty has no place in public record. As John claims he no longer needs the jacket cover and hands it back to Bobby, their eyes lock in a charged moment, foreshadowing Jigsaw’s true identity. The flashback fades, leaving Bobby chilled by the realization that he had unknowingly encountered his tormentor.

The final test awaits, as Bobby faces off against his friend Cale (character), confined to a precarious room where gravity plays a deadly game. A sea of planks serves as the only means of movement, but any misstep could prove fatal. Suspended in mid-air, a key beckons, requiring both men to converge and unlock Cale’s device before time runs out. Bobby must guide the blindfolded Cale across the treacherous terrain while navigating his own path towards the key. With a gentle nudge, Cale inches closer, and Bobby seizes the opportunity, grabs the key, and implores Cale to hold steady. In a heart-stopping moment, Bobby releases the key, which bounces from Cale’s grasp and crashes to the floor. The agony of Cale’s demise is palpable as he’s hauled upward, his life slipping away in an instant.

As the detectives continue to comb through the junk yard, an explosion rocks the area, prompting Gibson to order everyone back until the bomb squad can ensure the scene is safe from further explosives. Meanwhile, Hoffman seizes the opportunity to send a chilling message to Gibson via email, transmitting video footage of himself and cryptic clues that seem to point to the location of the new game. The email trail leads authorities back to the junk yard, where Gibson must act quickly to trace the source of the message and deploy a SWAT team.

Back in the treacherous game, Joyce’s fate hangs precariously as her chain slowly shortens, dragging her closer to the ground. It is only when Bobby and Joyce finally lock eyes that they share a moment of desperation before Billy returns, his words dripping with malevolent intent. His warning - that changing Bobby would be akin to “pulling teeth” - serves as a haunting precursor to the gruesome acts that will soon unfold. As Bobby’s anguish grows, he is driven to extract two teeth etched with the access code for a crucial lock, his screams and struggles only intensifying as he works to free himself.

The SWAT team, hot on the trail of Bobby’s trail of blood and despair, bursts into the building, where they are met with a gruesome tableau of death. Despite their best efforts to rescue the lone survivor, they fall prey to a deadly trap, succumbing to the poisonous gas that fills the air.

As Bobby finally succeeds in extracting his teeth and inserts the code, he is reunited with his wife - or so it seems. The reality is far more sinister, as she sits surrounded by electric wires, the prize for which Bobby has sacrificed everything. In a desperate bid to save her, he must reenact the very act of self-mutilation he once falsely claimed in a book - impaling his chest with hooks, hauling himself aloft, and connecting two deadly electrical cables. His wife’s query about the purpose of this gruesome spectacle only serves as a reminder that Bobby’s lies have finally caught up with him.

With mere minutes remaining, Bobby impales himself and begins to hoist, managing to secure one plug in his hand before reaching for the second. However, the hooks tear through his skin and muscle, sending him crashing to the floor as time runs out. In a final act of horror, a metal enclosure shaped like a pig closes around Joyce, engulfing her in flames that consume her lifeless body before Bobby’s very eyes.

As Jill languished in protective custody, Gibson’s gruesome discovery unfolded at the junkyard. Amidst the rusting carcasses of forgotten machines, he stumbled upon Hoffman’s control room, where the cold reality of his presence was underscored by a lifeless body - one of the tragic victims of the junkyard trap. The eerie familiarity of the computer screens, eerily tapping into the police security system, revealed Hoffman’s sinister surveillance. As Gibson pieced together the puzzle, a hail of bullets rained down from behind a desk, obliterating him and his comrades. Back at the precinct, when a morgue technician (Carlos Díaz) lifted the veil on yet another gruesome discovery, Hoffman sprang into action, striking with deadly precision.

With an air of calculated calm, Hoffman effortlessly dispatched the security personnel, cutting a bloody swath to Jill’s cell. As she futilely resisted, he brutally subdued her, binding her to a chair and affixing the notorious Reverse Bear Trap to her head, its timer ticking away like a death sentence. When the 45-second mark was reached, the device tore apart her jaw, ending her life in a gruesome display of Jigsaw’s merciless cruelty.

Unfazed by the carnage he left behind, Hoffman retreated to his hideout, gathering his ill-gotten gains and forged identification papers before setting ablaze the lair where Jigsaw’s malevolent machinations had unfolded. As the flames engulfed the facility, he walked away unencumbered, unaware of the surprise awaiting him outside. Three figures in pig masks emerged from the shadows, their leader revealed to be none other than Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes), the enigmatic figure who had haunted Jigsaw’s survivor meetings, his true nature finally exposed.

In a shocking twist of fate, Jigsaw’s former patient, Hoffman (played by …), finds himself shackled in the very bathroom where his own gruesome ordeal began. The revelation unfolds like a macabre puzzle piece falling into place: after amputating his foot and applying a makeshift cauterization to prevent blood loss, Jigsaw had nursed him back to health and rewarded his survival with an unexpected gift - the role of apprentice. Dr. Gordon, Hoffman’s unlikely benefactor, proved to be Jigsaw’s most trusted ally in orchestrating the gruesome games that would become his hallmark. As a medical expert, Dr. Gordon played a crucial role in designing the deadly traps, his skills honed to perfection under Jigsaw’s guidance. Moreover, he was entrusted with the solemn responsibility of safeguarding Jill, ensuring her safety and seeking retribution against any who would harm her. When Hoffman is denied a chance to escape by having the hacksaw seized at the last moment, Dr. Gordon seals his fate, leaving him to succumb to his own mortality as the bathroom door closes behind him. With a cold, calculated efficiency, Dr. Gordon pronounces judgment on Hoffman, delivering the merciless verdict: “Game Over.”
