STORYLINE
A microcassette is found in John Kramer's stomach during his autopsy, and reveals to Detective Mark Hoffman that he will be tested. Elsewhere, two men – one with his eyes sewn shut, the other with his mouth sewn shut – awaken in a mausoleum, chained at the neck to a winch. The muted man is able to kill the blinded man to get a key from his collar to free himself. After Allison Kerry's death in the previous film, a SWAT team led by Hoffman and Officer Daniel Rigg and Kerry's FBI contacts Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez are at the crime scene. Noting John and Amanda Young's physical limitations, Strahm speculates that a third accomplice was involved and becomes suspicious of Rigg, who has developed an obsession with saving people since the disappearance of detective Eric Matthews. That night, Rigg is attacked in his home; a video from Jigsaw informs he must play a game to overcome his obsession, and that Eric is alive playing a game along with Hoffman.
