Story:
During John Kramer's autopsy, a wax-coated microcassette is found in his stomach; it is given to Detective Hoffman, whom it informs that he too will be tested, and that the games will continue. Elsewhere, Trevor and Art awaken chained at the neck to a winch; Trevor's eyelids are sewn shut, as is Art's mouth, rendering communication impossible. When the winch activates, Trevor panics and attacks Art, who kills him in self-defense and takes a key from his collar to free himself.
Detective Kerry's body is found by police four days after her disappearance; after Hoffman cautions Lt. Rigg for going through an unsecured door in order to reach her, he meets Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez, two FBI agents who had previously been in contact with Kerry. They inform Hoffman that a second accomplice is involved in Kerry's murder, as Jigsaw and Amanda Young were both physically incapable of placing her in the trap. Strahm soon becomes suspicious of Rigg, who is convinced that Eric Matthews is still alive. Rigg is later attacked in his home, awakening to discover that Matthews is indeed alive, that he and Hoffman have ninety minutes to save themselves, and that Rigg must go through a series of tests to "discover what it truly means to save a life."
As Rigg progresses through his tests, he finds Brenda, a female pimp whose hair is attached to a winch that tears her scalp; Ivan Landsness, a serial rapist whom Rigg forces into a trap where he must choose between blinding himself or being dismembered; and Rex and Morgan (Ron Lea and Janet Land), an abusive husband and his wife who are in a harness, impaled together with spikes. Morgan asks for his help in removing the last spike, but he tells her that she has to do it herself, and it is later revealed that she was able to. Meanwhile, Strahm and Perez investigate each test scene while also interrogating Jill Tuck, Jigsaw's ex-wife, and soon discover that they are also targets. They also discover that a lawyer named Art Blank, who had vanished two weeks previously, had successfully defended all three victims, as well as Jill. When Perez is hospitalized after an incident involving Jigsaw's puppet, Strahm forces Jill to recount the rest of Jigsaw's background. She had been pregnant with a baby to be named Gideon, but miscarried after a drug addict named Cecil robbed her clinic, because he accidentally slammed a door into her stomach; this and John's subsequent depression ended their marriage. Upon surviving his suicide attempt, John began his work. He targeted Cecil first, placing him in a trap in which he had to push his face through a rack of knives to hit a switch and release himself. The trap collapsed and Cecil lunged at John, only to fall into a tangle of razor wire and die. Strahm connects Jill's story with the Gideon Meatpacking Plant, the location of Rigg's final test.
Strahm arrives shortly after Rigg but ends up trailing Jeff Denlon, who is making his way to the sickroom of the plant. He finds Jeff in the sickroom moments after John dies and kills him in self-defense when Jeff mistakes him for his daughter's kidnapper. In another area of the plant, Rigg locates Matthews and Hoffman, who are monitored by Art; all three can be released by Art when the ninety minutes expire. Rigg, not knowing this, breaks into the room with one second left just as Matthews shoots him, and sets off the traps: two ice blocks swing down and crush Matthews' head, killing him, and the excess water flows toward Hoffman, who's strapped to a chair with electrodes at his feet. Rigg then kills Art, believing him responsible for the traps, and learns from Art's tape recorder that he has failed the test by interfering; Matthews would have lived if Rigg had not tried to save him. An unharmed Hoffman releases himself, revealed to be the second accomplice, severs the monitors' connection and leaves Rigg to die. He seals Strahm in the sickroom with the four corpses and leaves the area just as the scene cuts to Jigsaw's autopsy, which took place after the events of the film.

The fucking serial killer Jigsaw was already dead in the previous movie, but his intelligence mind has already thought of how to torture his next victim which is the only officer left, Ltd Rigg. The movie goes on while showing the life of Jigsaw before he become the serial killer.
The whole movie did occur a few shocking scene. The best is when the husband and wife stick together and the wife decided to end her husband's life by pulling out the steel that is stick between their body~ ewww....
