## History

### Adam Stanheight and Lawrence Gordon's Test

Thereby, he managed to put oil on troubled waters and told Adam about his family. Adam asked him whether he wanted more children, Gordon denied this as it was already hard enough for him and his wife to do justice to Diana. During their conversation, Gordon threw his wallet to Adam so he could take a look at some photos of Diana. However, when Adam searched the wallet for a picture of Gordon's wife, he made an unnerving discovery. Instead of the photo he was looking for, he found another picture, which was signed with the word "Regards" and a drawn jigsaw piece. The photo showed Gordon's family, who were gagged and tied up in the bedroom of apartment. As he didn't want to worry him, Adam didn't tell him about the picture and instead gave him the wallet back, claiming that the photo of his wife wasn't there. While the confused doctor searched the wallet, Adam unobtrusively took another look at the picture. On the back side of it, Jigsaw had written the message "X marks the spot. Sometimes you see more with your eyes shut."

When Adam's uncooperative attitude caused another argument between him and Gordon, he finally asked him to turn off the light, which Gordon did, despite being skeptical. Upon doing so, they spotted glowing "X" on the wall, which hadn't been visible in the light, leading Adam to the conclusion that it had been drawn with a special fluorescent paint. By using his saw, Gordon smashed the marked part of the wall and thereby discovered a hollow space with a small box hidden inside. Gordon managed to open it with the key he had found in his envelope at the beginning of his game. It contained a mobile, a lighter, two cigarettes as well as a written message, which told Gordon that the cigarettes were harmless, that he didn't need a gun to kill Adam and that "smoking was only poisonous when it ended in bloodshed." When Adam, who didn't notice any of this, asked him for a cigarette, Gordon denied his wish and instead tried to call the police. To his disappointment, the mobile couldn't be used to make calls, but only to receive them.

### The Nerve Gas House

Shortly thereafter, the prisoners awoke and were immediately frightened by the situation. Jonas tried to wake up Amanda, who was the last person to remain unconscious, while Addison yelled that someone should open the door. Xavier sarcastically commented that no one was listening, to which Laura responded that someone was and pointed at a camera. However, Daniel, who squatted in a corner out of fear, said that those kinds of cameras didn't record sounds. The group's concerns grew worse when Gus suddenly started to panic. Gus talked about a movie he had seen about a man who had been trapped in a room for nine years, which frightened the others, especially Laura, and caused a discussion with Xavier. They were quickly interrupted when Addison heard a ticking on the other side of the door. However, before they could find out what it was, Amanda suddenly woke up. Playing her role as another victim, she immediately behaves as if she were in a panic and searched the room until she finally found the instruction tape, as well as the key and the message, which warned them not to use the key to open any door in the room.

The tape told them that they were all breathing in a deadly nerve gas since the moment they arrived in the house. While the doors would open in three hours, the gas would already kill them after two hours. In order to survive, the prisoners had to find syringes containing the antidote, which were hidden throughout the house, with one of them being inside the safe. Additionally, Jigsaw informed them that they all had a connection and told them that the clue to this connection was marked with an "X".

At the same time, the others continued to search for more of the antidote, when suddenly Laura collapsed in a hallway, as she was seriously weakened by the gas. When Amanda tried to comfort her, Addison told them they couldn't stay, as they didn't have much time left. Fortunately, Laura noticed a picture on the wall which had large scratches on it that were shaped like an "X", and she remembered Jigsaw's first tape and realized this was the clue to their connection. Upon investigating the picture, Addison found a photo attached to its backside that showed Daniel and his father, Eric. This caused the group to finally realize that Daniel's father was the cop who arrested all of them by faking the evidence. Seconds later, Laura suffered from a seizure and died in Amanda's arms, who had desperately tried to save her. Laura's death and the revelation of their connection caused both Addison and Amanda to leave Daniel.

### Edgar Munsen's Test

Ten years after the death of John Kramer, better known as the Jigsaw Killer, one of his accomplices, Dr. Logan Nelson, decided to continue his deadly games. He did this in order to get revenge on Detective Brad Halloran, a corrupt police detective who freed Edgar Munsen, a sociopathic criminal who had killed Logan's wife, Christine, two years earlier. After Logan abducted him, Edgar woke up inside an abandoned warehouse and received an audio tape, which gave him the instructions for a test. By 12 o'clock, he had to find a remote which was on the rooftop of the warehouse attached to a steel scaffold that had a large red X drawn on it. He then had to use it to start a game involving five people, if he refused to do so, he would be killed on his own.

Edgar decided to follow the instructions and attracted the attention of the police, which resulted in a car chase. With his car, Edgar sped down the roads until he was out braked by spike strips laid out by Officer Solomon on the street. As he lost control over his car, he hit a street barrier, consisting of numerous water barrels and police vehicles. He smashed his window and climbed out of the car to continue his flight on foot. Pursued by officers, Solomon and Officer Palermo, Edgar eventually reached the warehouse where he previously received his instructions and made it to the rooftop. There, he noticed a red "X" drawn on a steel scaffold, which marked the position of the remote. Just as he grabbed it, the officers arrived and aimed their guns at him. In the distance, Edgar saw a clock tower and desperately told the officers that five people would die if they didn't call Detective Halloran.
