## History

### Marcus Banks Abduction

Marcus Banks received a text from his son's phone that said to meet up with him on an old soap factory on 11th, in reality this text was sent by William Schenk, who was the killer all along. Once Marcus arrived at the factory, he started to look around the place with both his gun and a flashlight, there he found a wall that had written the word "Do you want to play a game Chief Banks?". As Marcus went deeper into the factory, he eventually found a room with a typewriter and a puppet, just as he started to send a text about his findings he was abducted by William.

### Ezekiel Banks' Trial

Zeke desperately races to the church to confront Dunleavy, suspicious of him being the killer, but he was nowhere to be found. (Unbeknownst to him, Schenk, wearing a pig mask, mostly after abducting Dunleavy, was waiting for him.) He then called his father for the third time, which then went straight to voice mail again, which upsets him. Frustrated over it, he tells him that he had to cover for him because the officers, as well as O'Brien, were asking him questions and he is tired of making excuses for him. Then he asks and demands to know where he is and if he's not telling him everything.

Zeke is ultimately abducted by the copycat killer and awakens in a warehouse handcuffed to a pipe. Ezekiel's first test was to get out of handcuffs that were attached to a metal pipe by using the hacksaw on the floor near him. He sees a hacksaw nearby and considers the option of sawing off his trapped arm with it. However, a bobby pin was conveniently placed near him, so he was able to escape the trap without harm.

### Second Test

As Ezekiel navigates his escape, he encounters Peter Dunleavy, his former partner who Banks reported for murder, chained in place. Ezekiel Banks's second test is to save Pete, the victim of the Glass Grinder trap, a machine hurls crushed shards of glass at him. Banks is horrified to find a tape recorder that give him a choice to either save Dunleavy or let him die for his crimes. If Ezekiel seeks to release him, he must find the key to the chain. However, Ezekiel is supposed to not save him, in order for justice to be enacted. If he does not find the key, his ex-partner will die.

After Ezekiel played the tape, the machine began to start Zeke realizing what was going to happen to Pete ran over to grab the bobby pin he had used earlier to escape. Zeke then tried to pick the lock but failed, the machine had then started shooting glass shards Zeke quickly got out of the way while Pete turned around and had shards of glass lacerate his back. The motor to the machine then stopped Zeke tried picking the lock again but was unsuccessful then the motor to the machine started back up.

Zeke thought back to the tape about the clue he then realized what the clue meant and found the key, meanwhile Pete was being lacerated by shards of glass. Zeke shielding himself with a trash can attempted to save Pete but failed because Pete had already died from being lacerated by shards of glass.

### Third Test

Zeke moves to another room in the maze, to find William Schenk. Zeke is confused for a moment before realizing that Schenk faked his death, having used the skinned corpse of Benny Wrights to do so. Schenk had been the copycat Jigsaw Killer all along, as he sought justice for his murdered father. Peter Dunleavy had murdered Schenk's father, who was willing to testify against a dirty cop. Marcus Banks was responsible for the polices that enabled the corruption to occur, which resulted in Schenk's father dying. Ezekiel Banks's third test is to choose whether he will help target cops with William Schenk. However, it does not matter what he chooses, he will go to the last test but after the final test, there will be a difference result based on his choice. Ezekiel pretends to accept William's offer to find his father, and William takes him to his next test.

### Final Test

He presents Banks with a final test; shoot a target that will free Marcus from certain death but allows Schenk to escape, or kill Schenk and let Marcus die. Banks examines his options while holding his fathers gun, which holds a single bullet. His father, Marcus Banks, who is attached to a trap that slowly drains his blood via an IV drip. Ezekiel then given the choice by William Schenk, the Jigsaw killer in question to either shoot a target to free Marcus, but allows William to escape. Or he could kill Schenk, but also letting Marcus died due to blood loss. William also mentioned that he had called SWAT team before hands to free him. Unable to lose his father, Banks shoots the target to free Marcus.
