Saw III2006

[John turns and sees Jeff pointing a gun at him]

John:
[scoffs] You haven't learned anything tonight, have you? Your rage and your vengeance will only hurt the ones you love. Killing me will only add to your misery. It will not bring back your son. Think of your daughter, Jeff. She needs you, now more than ever. You can't kill me, Jeff.

[Jeff laughs and pulls the trigger. It clicks empty.]

John:
Your wife's dying, Jeff. Her time's running out. [Jeff walks over to Lynn] Jeff, do not miscalculate. Your fate is in my hands. Your wife's fate is in my hands.

Jeff:
[Quietly, to Lynn] I love you.

Lynn:
[To Jeff] I love you.

Jeff:
I'm taking you home, okay?

John:
Though you may not see any threat, there are threats all around you. Jeff, if you try to move your wife, she will die. I can have an ambulance here in four minutes. Would you like to take your wife out of here tonight? Would you like to take her to safety?

Lynn:
Stay.

John:
Stand and face me, Jeff.

Lynn:
Stay with me.

John:
Right now. Would you like to get your life back? Would you, Jeff? I can make that happen. Which is it, Jeff? Come on. Yes or no?

Jeff:
Yes. What do you want?

John:
One final test. The rules are simple. Over on that table is a host of vicious implements which you can use to exact your pound of flesh, to take your vengeance, to indulge your obsession. Or, you can choose to put your vengeance aside and you can forgive. You can forgive me for the pain that I've caused you and your wife tonight. Which is it going to be, Jeff? It's up to you. Live or die, Jeff. Make our choice.

[A long, tense moment passes by]

Jeff:
I forgive you.

[Jeff walks away]

Lynn:
[Weakly] Jeff. Jeff.

[Jeff approaches John with a power saw]

Lynn:
Jeff!

John:
Yeah.

Lynn:
Jeff, no...

[Jeff slashes John's throat]

Jeff:
I forgive you.

[Lynn's shotgun collar activates. John starts a tape]

Tape:
Hello, Jeff. I made this tape as an, insurance policy, if you will.

Lynn:
Jeff!

[Jeff drops the power saw]

Tape:
And if you're listening to it, then it's time to collect. I was your final test of forgiveness and if you're listening to this, then you failed. Now you must pay the price. The price for living for nothing but vengeance. Now I will give you something to live for. I told you that you couldn't kill me, Jeff, but I didn't tell you why. And the answer is simple: I am the person responsible for the loss of your child. I am the only person who knows where your daughter is. She only has a limited supply of air, Jeff...

Jeff:
[Screaming] No!!

Tape:
...and if you want to get her back, you'll have to play a game.

[John dies]

Jeff:
No!

Lynn:
Jeff!

[Jeff turns around as Lynn's shotgun collar detonates, blowing her head away]

Jeff:
NO!! NO!!!!
