[Hoffman, Rigg and some other police officers have discoverd Detective Kerry's corpse] [After Rigg foolishly goes through a door]
Are you trying to get yourself killed? You know never to go through an unsecure door. Ever.
Rigg I thought she was still alive. I thought I could save her. Did you ever think that we would end up here when you first started?
No. I didn't see it happening like this. Why the hell do we still do it?
Rigg It's in our nature to save them. It's what we do.
Right. [Reading off the wall behind Rigg] "Cherish your life."
Rigg What?
The **** motto. We're supposed to cherish our lives.
Rigg Well, how the hell are we supposed to do that when this is our lives?
We chose this. Go home.
Man [Over radio]
Hoffman, there are two agents here to see you.
Copy.
Detective Hoffman?
Yes.
I'm special agent Lindsey Perez. This is special agent Peter Strahm.
Rigg [Rigg is watching a tape of Hoffman interrogating Jill Tuck]
She knows something.
I thought you were going home. You have vacation time, right? Take it. Finish the remodeling, spend some time with Tracy.
Rigg She understands.
Then don't take her for granted.
Rigg Eric is still out there, man.
Eric's been missing for six months. Kerry was gone for four days. I can only be as optimistic as the facts allow.
Rigg Yeah, well I'm in it till I find him.
Finding his body is not going to vindicate us.
Rigg Finding him alive will.
It's time to let go. I want you to go home. I'll call you later to make sure everything is okay.
Lieutenant Rigg, our SWAT commander.
What's his problem?
Everyone around him keeps dying.
Brenda [Rigg finds Brenda in his house]
Are you a cop?
Rigg What?
Brenda ARE YOU A COP?!
Rigg Yeah, I'm a cop.
Brenda [Rigg pulls off her pig mask, starting the device she is tied to]
What is that?
[Rigg has opened the door under 90 minutes, killing Det. Matthews and Hoffman]
Oh, you stupid mother****er. What did you do?
Rigg I had more time! [The clock reads 00:01] I STILL HAD **** TIME!
Why did you open that door--?
Rigg You **** did this!
No, you idiot!
Rigg You **** did this!
No! Jigsaw's testing you, you **** PIECE OF SHIT! [Reaches into his bag]
Rigg [Pulls out his gun]
Put your **** hands where I can see them! PUT YOUR **** HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!!!
JIGSAW'S **** TESTING YOU! [Pulls out a tape recorder]
Rigg DON'T **** MOVE!!!
[Rigg mistakes the tape player for a weapon and shoots Art in the head]
Hello, officer Rigg. If you are hearing this, then you have reached detective Matthews and detective Hoffman in under nintey minutes, resulting in their deaths. The rules were clear. You were warned.
Rigg [Flashbacks]
It's Kerry!
Do not go through that door! [Rigg does exactly what Hoffman just told him not to do] You know never to go through an unsecure door, ever.
Tracy What you can't do is save everyone.
Rigg Eric is still out there, man.
It's time to let go.
[Current time]
They had to save themselves. Their salvation was out of your hands. Time was on your side, but your obsession wouldn't let you wait. Instead of saving detective Matthews, you cost him his life. You failed your final test.
Rigg [Rigg crawls onto a table while Hoffman unstraps himself, then stands over Rigg] [Flashbacks] [About Troy's test]
What I don't understand is how the hell Jigsaw could have done all this. He was damn near on his deathbed last time we saw him.
Kerry I'm not so sure he did.
[Brief scene of Hoffman pocketing evidence, seen in Saw III.]
This wasn't done by Amanda Young.
Excuse me?
She couldn't get her up there alone.
John Kramer was--
He's brains, not brawn. We're here to help find the person helping Jigsaw and Amanda Young.
[Hoffman writes the letter Amanda read in Saw III.]
Looks like another doctor went missing from the hospital.
You go home. We chose this.
[Current time] [Hoffman unplugs Art's camera monitors, and walks around Rigg]
Game over. [Leaves]
[Hoffman enters the lair from the third film, and before Agent Strahm can react, locks him inside, and leaves]
You feel you now have control, don't you? You think you will walk away untested? I promise that my work will continue. That I have ensured. By hearing this tape, some will assume that this is over, but I am still among you. You think it's over just because I am dead? It's not over. The games have just begun.
Rigg [Reading off a card]
"Become the teacher and save a life."
Rigg [Flashback] [In a school, to a young girl]
You're going to have to tell me how you got those bruises on your hand and your neck. Was this an accident or did someone do this to you on purpose? You can stop it from happening if you tell me the truth.
Jane
I want to go home now.
Rigg [To Hoffman]
The son of a bitch is lying. He's done this before. She's allowing it.
The child's story doesn't corroborate. What can I do? [To Jane] Jane, I can't let you go home right now, okay? Go back to class, honey.
Rex I told you, Officers, sometimes these kids, they just get out of control. [Pats Rigg on the shoulder]
Rigg Get your hands off me!
Rex Hey, take it easy.
[Rigg proceeds to brutally attack him]
Rigg! Rigg! [Restrains him] No. Get out! Get out now!
Rex You just made the biggest mistake of your life! [To Hoffman] You hear me?! I will take him for everything he's got, that **** ****.
[Flashback ends]
Morgan [Rigg discovers Rex and Morgan impaled back to back with a single rod going through the both of them. Morgan awakens, shocking him]
I did it. I won!
Rigg What the hell did you do?
