[edit] Character History
Dr. Lynn Denlon, after taking anti depressants in the locker room, finishes her shift at the hospital and prepares to leave, but finds herself locked in the locker room. Amanda kidnaps her and brings her to Jigsaw's new lair. Lynn wakes up to find herself tied to a wheelchair. She is wheeled to Jigsaw, John Kramer, who is resting in a makeshift hospital room on his deathbed. After asking Lynn how long he has to live, Jigsaw informs her that he “wants to play a game.” Amanda equips Lynn with a bulky collar surrounded by explosive shells. The collar contraption is linked with Jigsaw's heart rate monitor. If Jigsaw flat lines, or if she strays too far from him, the shells will explode, killing her. It is explained that another man is also being tested, and if he completes his tests before Jigsaw dies, she is free to go.
This man being tested is Jeff Reinhart who is actually Lynn's husband, although Jigsaw does not tell Lynn that Jeff is the one being tested. Lynn explains to Amanda that Jigsaw has a brain herniation and his only hope is to get care from a hospital, but Amanda won't permit leaving. After Lynn and Amanda stabilize Jigsaw, from a sudden seizure, Amanda asks for the tools needed to fix the hernia. Lynn tells her she'll need anesthesia and a power drill.
In the warehouse, Lynn begins to operate on Jigsaw under local anesthetic. She uses a power drill and then a bone saw to cut open a hole in his skull to relieve the pressure the tumor is causing. Jigsaw's heart rate begins to decrease. Jigsaw soon stabilizes and Amanda watches as he holds Lynn's arm and then says he loves her, momentarily stuck in a hallucination concerning a past love. Jealous, Amanda leaves. Amanda, stricken with grief, cuts herself on the thigh, a new addition to numerous scars assumed to be from the same practice before. Amanda enters and hugs John, only to be scolded by Lynn for touching him. Amanda confronts Lynn, about to brandish a gun, but John interferes and tells Amanda to leave.
Jigsaw then proceeds to make brief conversation about Lynn's family and how she abandoned it. During the conversation, he reveals that he despises murderers, and in reply to a comment from Lynn how she has suffered more hardships than him, states "Suffering? You haven't seen anything yet." Amanda reveals that Jeff has passed the third test, without using his name. Jigsaw tells Amanda to release Lynn, but she refuses, pointing her gun at Lynn. He attempts to calm her, claiming she would not be following the rules, but Amanda refuses to listen.
Jeff, having completed all of his tests and acquiring a gun along the way, arrives in the makeshift medical room. As Lynn goes to embrace him Amanda shoots her in the back, and Lynn collapses in Jeff's arms. Jigsaw tells Amanda that the two were a married couple just as Jeff raises his gun and shoots Amanda in the neck. Jigsaw reveals that Amanda was the one being tested, and not Lynn. In his desperation to make Amanda Jigsaw's true apprentice, after all the injustices she had committed with her murders, he gave her one last chance. He also claims that all the 'games' that Amanda had set up were impossible to survive, referring to Troy's welded room and Kerry's torso device. By disobeying the rules and shooting Lynn, she had failed. Amanda then dies.
Jigsaw tells Jeff that Lynn is dying. If he co-operates, he can call an ambulance to arrive in four minutes, but first, Jigsaw proposes one final test. On a nearby table, there are various tools about that Jeff can use to exact his revenge on Jigsaw, or he can forgive him for the pain he's caused Jeff and Lynn. "Live or Die," Jigsaw says, "make our choice." Jeff claims he forgives him, but then brandishes a circular power saw. Lynn desperately tries to tell Jeff to stop, but she can hardly speak. Jeff slices Jigsaw's throat open, once again proclaiming "I forgive you."
Jigsaw begins to flat line and reveals a tape recorder in his right hand, playing it. The tape reveals that Jigsaw himself was the final test. For as he said earlier, Jigsaw was the man responsible for the loss of Jeff's child: his daughter Corbett. Only he knows where Corbett is, and she is running out of air. By killing him, Jeff has failed the final test, and learned nothing in his ordeal, or the location of his daughter. Lynn's collar light starts to flash red. The doors of the warehouse all latch shut (seemingly also connected to Jigsaw's heart rate). When Jigsaw flat lines, Lynn is killed when her collar explodes, blowing her head away.
