However, it is revealed in Saw V that Adam's last name is Stanheight, as indicated by a document observed by Agent Peter Strahm.

A tape left for Morgan informes her that she could free herself by removing the spikes but would kill Rex in the process.

A movable carriage with three razor wheels - one facing each man, a third aimed at Dina - is attached to the table. Appearing on the scene, Billy the puppet states that Dina has manipulated both men's affections for her in order to coerce them into stealing things for her. Since she had claimed to love each man, they will have the chance to fight for her love and their survival. In order to free her, one will have to push the carriage to the other's end within 60 seconds, killing him; alternatively, they can spare each other and Dina will die once the timer runs out. After a brief fight in which Brad is slightly wounded and then Dina convincing both men to kill each other, Ryan offers a truce and they chose to save themselves, leaving Dina to be cut in half by the center wheel.

The first test requires him to escape from a cage suspended above a bed of knives on the floor, which he achieves by releasing the cage's bottom end and swinging himself far enough to jump free. The next three tests each lead to the death of one staffer; in the fifth, he must pull out two of his teeth in order to obtain the combination to the door leading to Joyce. For the final test, he must undergo the ordeal that he claimed to have endured in his book: drive two meathooks through his pectoral muscles, then haul himself up on the attached chains to connect two extension cords and shut off the electrified wire around Joyce's platform.

Matt Gibson is an internal affairs detective who takes an interest in the Jigsaw case when Jill Tuck asks to speak to him personally. She offers to turn over evidence of Hoffman's crimes in exchange for police protection and immunity from prosecution. When Gibson was a uniformed officer, he was attacked by a homeless man who took his gun; Hoffman ordered the man to drop the weapon, then killed him after he did so. The incident led Gibson to mistrust Hoffman from that moment on, and he and his partner Rogers lead the efforts to find him. Clues left by Hoffman lead Gibson to the observation area for Hoffman's tests of Bobby Dagen, where he is killed by a remote-controlled automatic weapon placed in the room.
