About this piece
Why Jigsaw decided to become a killer
Summary
Detective Eric Matthews tracks down the place where the serial killer "Jigsaw" is hidden. However, there he realizes that Jigsaw has trapped a group of people, including his son, in a shelter, and they have to fight to survive. The detective cannot figure out where this shelter is located and they have to watch them die through the monitors. In this scene Jigsaw confronts detective Matthews about his love for his son. They had a troubled father-son relationship and it seems to him that only now that his son is dying, he realized that he loves him. He then explains how he became the maniac killer that he is when he found out he had cancer and that he was dying. He decided to spend the rest of his life "testing the fabric of human nature" and he argues that people that don't appreciate life do not deserve to live....
