Summary
Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) wakes up in a dirty, broken down and abandoned bathroom chained to a pipe. On the opposite side of the room another man, Adam (Leigh Whannell), is also chained to a pipe. In the middle of the room there is a dead man who is lying in a pool of blood, with a gun in one hand and a tape recorder in the other. The two men find two tapes and they play them in the tape recorder the dead man has in his hand. Dr. Lawrence's tape tells him he has to kill Adam by 6:00 or else his wife and daughter will die. In a series of flashbacks we find out more about them and the two men figure out they are the new victims of a serial killer who is nicknamed "The Jigsaw Killer".
In this scene Dr. Lawrence finds out that Adam actually had met him before. Adam is a photographer who got hired by an ex-detective, Tapp, who was investigating the Jigsaw murders and thought that Dr. Lawrence was involved in them. Adam photographed Lawrence while he was on his way to see his secretary in a motel room...

INT. BATHROOM LAWRENCE: "Who was it?" ADAM: "Who was what?" LAWRENCE: "The person who paid to follow me? Who was it?" ADAM: " He calls himself Bob and he gives me the money upfront. 200 bucks a night. If I knew I was gonna end up here I would've asked for more." LAWRENCE: "What does that mean? Does that mean you saw what happened to me?" ADAM: "What I saw was you get into your car. That's it. I didn't ask your name. I didn't know who you were. I don't know how I got here, I don't know how you got here. I just took the shots and went straight home to develop them. Next thing I know, I'm chained to a pipe...in some pre-historic bathroom...staring at the guy I've been taking shots of all night." LAWRENCE: "Clearly, whoever paid you to take pictures of me is the one who put us here." ADAM: "Maybe." LAWRENCE: "What do you mean maybe? Of course it is. What did he look like?" ADAM: "He was just a guy." LAWRENCE: "Was he tall, skinny, obese, what?" ADAM: "I don't take notes about his appearance." LAWRENCE: "You must remember something about him." ADAM: "I can't." LAWRENCE: "You're telling me you don't remember a thing about the guy?" ADAM: "I told you--" LAWRENCE: "For fuck's sake! I give up!" ADAM: "He's a tall, black guy. He's got a scar around his neck, okay?" Lawrence remembers something. LAWRENCE: "Tapp! Detective Tapp." ADAM: "Whoa. The guy who paid me to take these photos was not a cop." LAWRENCE: "No, no, no, no. He was discharged from the police force. He broke down after his partner was killed. But that didn't stop him from harassing me. The guy became obsessed. He convinced himself that I must have somehow been involved with the murders. He's crazy. And you helped him. You took money from him to invade my privacy. How could you do that?" ADAM: "Call it my need to eat." LAWRENCE: "Right. Right. You know what Adam? You're not a victim of this game...you're part of it." ADAM: "Really? Obviously this cop thinks you're the one behind it all." LAWRENCE: "I told you he's not a cop. He's a bottom feeder. Just like you." ADAM: "What are you more pissed off about? The fact that I took some shots of you or the fact that I took some shots of you while you were cheating on your wife?" LAWRENCE: "I DID NOT CHEAT ON HER!!" ADAM: "What do you care what I think anyway? I don't give a crap if you covered yourself in peanut butter and had a 15 hooker gang-bang." Lawrence collapses to the ground. LAWRENCE: "How did I get here? I had..I had everything in order. My life was in perfect order." |
