Antidotes

## History

### Nerve Gas House

At one point during his series of murders, John Kramer targeted the corrupt detective Eric Matthews, who had framed and arrested numerous innocent people throughout his career, including one of John's apprentices, Amanda Young. Therefore, they decided to set up a big game which was going to be directly connected to Eric's test. This game focused on seven people. The first one was Daniel Matthews, Eric's son, who had become estranged from him after he had cheated on Daniel's mother with his former partner, Detective Allison Kerry. The other people tested throughout the game were Jonas Singer, his manager Gus Colyard, the prostitute Addison Corday, the drug dealer Xavier Chavez, Laura Hunter and Obi Tate. Additionally, Amanda participated in the game as well and played as another victim primarily in order to observe the other prisoners' progress.

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.

### Obi Tate's Test

Xavier took the lamp from Addison and slowly went down the stairs, followed by the others. Upon entering the basement, they found a mysterious hooded figure sitting at the table. Xavier placed the lamp in front of it and prepared to kill the figure, if he or she would move. However, when Jonas took the hood from its head, they realized it was merely a mannequin. A small envelope with the name "Obi" written on it was pinned to the mannequin's chest with a knife. Xavier grabbed it and opened the envelope, which contained an audio tape. When they played it, using the recorder from the starting room, it revealed to them that their fellow prisoner, Obi, had assisted Jigsaw in their abductions, causing Laura to recognize him. Furthermore, the tape told him that in order to redeem himself, he had to crawl into the large furnace in front of them, where two syringes with the antidote were waiting for him; one for him and one for another prisoner of his choice.

### Xavier Chavez' Test

When the group went upstairs, Addison tried to open the door but remarked that it was stuck. Xavier then angrily shoved her away and attempted to open it by brute force, to which Amanda responded that the room was most likely a trap. Xavier sarcastically told her that the whole house was a trap and went on until he finally managed to open the door. Unfortunately, this caused a metal pin to be pulled out of a timer which was connected to another door. Daniel told Laura to wait in the hallway and followed the rest of the group into the room. An audio tape left for Xavier by Jigsaw told him that there was another antidote behind the second door. However, it would be locked permanently if he didn't manage to find the key in time. Moments later, Daniel found a pit full of thousands of used syringes hidden under a bed. According to Jigsaw, the key to the door was somewhere in the pit.

At this point, Addison had found another antidote on her own, which was glued to the bottom of a large glass box suspended from the ceiling by four chains. She found another envelope with a tape inside but threw it away as she didn't have the recorder with her. Instead, she tried to grab the antidote by inserting her hand in one of two holes on the bottom of the box. However, she accidentally pulled off the upper part of the syringe and therefore spilled the antidote. Ridden by fear and desperation, she put her other hand in the second hole. Unfortunately, there were razor sharp blades placed above the holes, which now prevented her from pulling her arms back out. Addison then started to cry and screamed for help. By following her voice, Xavier eventually reached the room. However, instead of helping her, he only checked the number on the back of her neck, a blue "9". After obtaining the number, Xavier slowly walked out of the room and closed the door behind him, leaving Addison for death.

However, as she and Daniel were the only survivors left in the house, the time had come for the next part of her and John's plan. Amanda subdued Daniel and injected him with the antidote from the safe. Afterwards, she took his unconscious body with her and brought him to the Wilson Steel Plant, where Jigsaw was already waiting for her to arrive.
