(11 votes)

In the final confrontation, Amanda ends up shooting Lynn just as Jeff comes into the room they're in. Then, Jeff shoots Amanda in the neck. As Amanda bleeds to death, Jigsaw reveals how Lynn and Jeff are really husband and wife, and that the entire time the game was on her. Amanda never gave her test subjects a chance to live, only making them victims. Jigsaw wanted to test Amanda's will to keep someone alive, and she failed at that. Amanda dies. As Lynn is bleeding, Jigsaw tells Jeff that he has one more game for him. The game is he could either forgive him for the suffering he put him and Lynn through, or he could kill him. Jeff tells Jigsaw that he forgives him as he pulls out a large circular saw and slices Jigsaw's throat. As Jigsaw bleeds, he reveals the shocking truth. He pulls out a tape recorder and plays it to tell Jeff that he didn't learn anything about forgiveness. Jigsaw then reveals that the entire time, he was his REAL final test subject, not the person who killed his son. The room locks, and Jigsaw tells Jeff that he kidnapped his daughter and locked her away, and that he was the only one who knew where she was. Now that Jeff put matters into his own hands, he lost. As Jigsaw's heart rate goes down, the collar on Lynn's head explodes. Jeff screams over the dead body of Jigsaw.

Trivia: Before release, Donnie Whalberg was reported to have dropped out of "Saw III" (after having starred in "Saw II"), and it was widely stated that he would not appear in the film. However, it was later revealed that these reports were just a ruse to keep the public from knowing that he actually would appear in the film.

Question: So in this film, through the flashbacks, we learn a lot about the previous films. However, with all that is known, why does Jigsaw leave Adam in the bathroom and close the door? He says game over - did Adam fail? Is the suffocation by Amanda the punishment for failing?

Answer: Adam didn't just lose because he let the key get drowned. He had the two hacksaws and he broke his own in a hurry. And there was also the toilet lid that he could have used to smash his foot like Eric did in Saw III. Jigsaw never said that improvising or thinking outside the box was against the rules. So even if you wipe the key out of the equation, Adam still has at least two other ways to release himself from the chains.

Answer: It was too late for Adam to solve the game the way he was intended to- the key went down the drain, which Jigsaw actually didn't intend to happen. Adam's key was meant to be tied around his neck in such a way that neither him nor Lawrence would be able to see, and Adam would be allowed to go free and escape if he were to locate the key- which would only be possible if he looked at himself. The whole idea behind his puzzle was "looking at himself instead of others, for a change." The reason it went down the drain instead, was because of Amanda, who continuously made traps unsolvable. Instead of tying it around him like Jigsaw asked, she just tossed it on his chest, which defeated the whole purpose. Also, he was given a saw just as Lawrence was, as a much more violent plan B, another way he could save his own life.

That doesn't make sense because Jigsaw told Adam that the key is in the bathtub at the end of the movie.

Answer: In Saw III, Jigsaw states that he "despises murderers", so when Adam tried to shoot him, in his eyes, he just attempted murder. There is also the fact that Adam killed Zep as well, so maybe Jigsaw regarded that as straight-up killing.

Chosen answer: Jigsaw most likely decided to leave Adam in the room in case Gordon didn't shoot him. Adam wasn't the one who failed, it was Gordon. He simply decided to leave him in there, the easy way out. As for his suffocation, Jigsaw already mentions Amanda's emotional side also being her weakness. While Adam was meant to die after a certain amount of time, Amanda's emotions got the best of her and so she decided to mercy kill him.

Answer: Well Jigsaw told Adam that the key to his chains was in the bathtub, without knowing he pulled the plug, drowning the key with it. However, he could have responded instead of trying to shoot Jigsaw. After that, he most likely came to the conclusion that Adam didn't learn his lesson. And Amanda coming back to kill him is most likely a mercy kill, though it's not confirmed.
