Peter Strahm
The last thing she said was "Detective Hoffman." Why would she say that? Why did she say your name?
Hoffman
I don't know.
Peter Strahm
No? How did you walk out of that building?
Hoffman
How did you?
Peter Strahm
On a gurney, with a **** hole in my throat! [Coughs] And you. Couple of scratches and a story about how your arm straps broke. Jigsaw doesn't make mistakes.
Hoffman
Is this you theorizing again? Because Jigsaw's dead.
Peter Strahm
I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about you and your whole crooked department!
Hoffman
My department's gone. They're all dead. There's no one left.
Peter Strahm
Besides you!
Hoffman
I've been chasing Jigsaw from the beginning. And I got him. So unless you've got something else to say, back the **** off. Read the papers. I saved that little girl.
Peter Strahm
[Looking through files of Jigsaw victims]
After Seth, you were involved in every investigation. When did you first meet Jigsaw?
[Flashback]
Hoffman
[Entering an elevator]
Going up?
John Kramer
Yes. Thank you.
Hoffman
[Hoffman notices that only his floor has been selected, and that John is holding something] [Reaching for his gun]
What floor are you going to?
John
[John thrusts Hoffman against the wall, jams a syringe into his neck, and injects him with something]
I think we're both going to the same place.
Hoffman
You're assuming this is going to play out the way you want it to.
John
I assume nothing. I anticipate the possibilities and... I let the game play out.
Hoffman
Then why do you need Amanda in the game?
John
To ensure that the rules are followed. She won't make decisions for anyone. She will just... offer choices.
Hoffman
That leaves a lot to chance.
John
If you're good at anticipating the human mind... it leaves nothing to chance.
Hoffman
What's going on with Amanda? Didn't you tell me the only way to truly offering enlightenment is by not attaching emotionally?
John
But you can have something Amanda doesn't: anonymity. That's the greatest protection. That's what I've given you. I need you to set up a game. It may not be entirely clear, to you right now. But I assure you that the people being tested are a part of something much larger. They're connected. So in the end, all the pieces will fit together and it'll be clear.
Hoffman
Amanda will fail you.
John
We'll see. [hands him a folder]
Hoffman
What's this?
John
It's time to play a game.
Brit
The tub wasn't meant for one person. We were supposed to hold one cable each, and suffer a small shock. It was meant for five people. They all were, every game. We only needed one key in the first room. They all worked and any one of them would've opened every collar. In the second room, the three tubes were large enough for more than one person. We were supposed to work together so we all survived. That's the game!
Mallick
"Your lifelong instincts will tell you to do one thing but I implore you to do the opposite." Oh, god. Whoops.
Brit
Yeah... [Sees nine seconds left on the timer] Big **** whoops!
Peter Strahm
Tell me how to open it! How do I open it?!
T Tape
[Hoffman points to the tape player on the floor. Strahm picks it up and plays it]
However, if you choose not to, you will never be heard from again. Your body will never be found. You will simply vanish.
T Tape
[The Box begins to rotate into the floor]
I ask you, Special Agent Strahm: Have you learned enough to trust me?
[Flashback]
T Tape
[Narrating]
Will you heed my warning? For if you do not...
Peter Strahm
**** you.
T Tape
[Narrating]
...this room will forever be your tomb.
[Present]
T Tape
And my legacy will become yours.
[Flashback]
John
If you're good at anticipating the human mind...
JT Jill Tuck
I think I'm being followed.
Dan Erickson
Who would be following you?
Peter Strahm
I want to talk to Jill Tuck one last time.
Hoffman
He suspected someone on the inside.
John
[Strahm and Erickson meet at FBI]
...it leaves nothing to chance.
Peter Strahm
We were all supposed to die. You were supposed to be the "hero."
[Present]
Dan Erickson
[Strahm realizes the room itself is the trap as the room starts to close]
Cowan... Yeah, this is Erickson. I want you to put out an A.P.B. Suspect's name is Peter Strahm. Yeah, that's right. Special Agent Peter Strahm.
Peter Strahm
[Strahm tries to shoot the Box open, to no avail]
Tell me how to stop it, you son of a bitch!
[shoots three more times] Peter Strahm [Last Words]: I know who you are! I know!
[Strahm climbs the converging walls and tries to escape through the ceiling vent while the Box is lowered safely into the floor. Strahm's left arm is caught between the walls, Strahm screaming in terror and breaking violently and showering his blood onto the coffin. Hoffman looks away as the walls come to a close.]
