QRemind me of how 'Saw IV' ended.
AFBI agent Peter Strahm (Scott Patterson) chased Jeff Denlon (Angus Macfadyen) into the operating room (also shown at the end of Saw III. Strahm shot Denlon, who attacked him while screaming, 'Where is my daughter?' (referring to Corbett Denlon, kidnapped by Jigsaw in Saw III). Jigsaw was seen lying on the operating table with his throat cut. Lynn Denlon's (Bahar Soomekh) headless body and Amanda Young's (Shawnee Smith) bloody remains were seen lying on the floor. Lt Daniel Rigg (Lyriq Bent) found a tape that detailed the rules of the game and how he violated them. It told him that, if he had not violated the rules, Det. Eric Matthews (Donnie Wahlberg) and Lt Mark Hoffman would have lived. As Rigg tried to crawl to his feet, Hoffman rose from a chair and said, "Game over," revealing he is the second accomplice the FBI had theorized about. Hoffman then went to the operating room and locked the door, leaving Strahm inside with the bodies of Jigsaw, Lynn, Amanda, and Jeff. In the final scenes, Jigsaw's voice on the tape recovered from his stomach was heard, warning that the games are not over just because he is dead, and that "you will not walk away untested."
QThe victim list only shows Cecil and Mark being before Seth, but neither of them had a video with Billy, so how did Hoffman get the video for Seth's game?
AThese are the first six victims listed on the victim list: (1) Cecil Fletcher (Knife Chair), (2) Mark Wilson (Candle/Safe), (3) Seth Baxter (Pendulum), (4) Paul Leary (Razor Wire), (5) Amanda Young (Reverse Bear Trap), and (6) Donnie Greco (Question Mark Man in Reverse Bear Trap game). One theory is that they could have found Cecil's body with the puzzle piece taken out, labeled the killer the "Jigsaw Killer" and labeled Cecil his first victim. Amanda could have been tested before Mark and Paul but, since she didn't die, there was no puzzle piece cut from her. When she originally came forward about what happened to her, they couldn't have officially labeled her a Jigsaw victim...only assumed. Then they find Mark's body with the puzzle piece cutout. He is declared the second Jigsaw victim. But, the penlight couldn't have been there on this first discovery. They find Seth with the puzzle piece cutout and the same type of tape, with the puppet "Billy" explaining the rules that Amanda would have described to them and would have found at her scene. He is falsely declared the third Jigsaw victim. Paul is declared the fourth Jigsaw victim. Whether before or after discovering Paul's scene makes no difference; Hoffman must have gone back to Mark's scene and planted the penlight. With further investigation, because of the connection between the puzzle piece and the tape in Seth's trap, Amanda and Donnie are finally labeled the fifth and sixth Jigsaw victims.The actually timeline would be: (1) Cecil is tested, dies, is discovered, and is declared the 1st victim. (2) Amanda is tested, survives, and goes to the police, but the perpetrator is unclear. (3) Mark is tested, dies, is discovered and declared the second Jigsaw victim. (4) Seth is tested, dies, is discovered, and is falsely declared the third Jigsaw victim. (5) Hoffman is captured by the real Jigsaw and is turned into an apprentice. (6) Paul is tested and dies. (7) Hoffman plants the penlight at Mark's scene. (8) Paul's body is discovered, and he is declared the fourth Jigsaw victim. Through further investigation, links are found between Amanda's case and other Jigsaw victims. She and Donnie are finally declared the fith and sixth Jigsaw victims.
