Saw V: Make Your Choice

Saw V: Make Your Choice is the fifth installment in the Saw horror series.

Plot
Bobby Dagen, an author who had gained wealth and fame by publishing his story about how he survived one of Jigsaw's games, which actually never happened. Following his abduction, he wakes up in a cylindrical cage and a videotape instructs him that he has 60 minutes to proceed through the building and face a series of tests or else his wife, Joyce, will die. Bobby then escapes the cage and explores the building as well as coming across his publicist Nina, lawyer Suzanne and best friend Cale, who he manages to rescue from their deadly traps. Eventually, Bobby reaches his wife, Joyce, in her own trap and is given his remaining time left to save her.

Meanwhile during Bobby's game, Dan Erickson and Lindsey Perez continue their investigation after Strahm's death. The pathologist who examined Jigsaw and his victims' corpses, discovered that the body of Seth Baxter had his jigsaw piece cut out with a different knife than the rest of the victims, Angelina Acomb's, Hoffman's sister, murderer. Due to this, they suspect that somebody else rather than the Jigsaw Killer or his successors/apprentices was a copycat killer and that the tape is someone who wasn't recorded by Jigsaw. So, Seth's tape is sent to a technical lab for analysis and restoration of the distorted voice. Strahm's fingerprints were also at the crime scene of recent victims, which Hoffman used his hand to frame him, but Erickson showed that Strahm must have already been dead by the time those fingerprints were left there. Just as the tape is restored and Hoffman's voice becomes recognizable, the latter attacks and kills the agents including Perez and Erickson as well as the technician, Sachi. He then uses Strahm's severed hands to plant his fingerprints all over the lab, before he sets the room on fire and flees the scene. Hoffman then enters a room to monitor Bobby's game and Jill Tuck, John Kramer's ex-wife, attacks and subdues Hoffman. She then places him in a Reverse Beartrap and straps him to a chair in an attempt to kill him, revealing that if Hoffman failed his test by outright murdering people and his sadistic treatment of victims, Jill would be tasked to punish him for his failure and she will be promised a way out of the mess.

Hoffman though survives the trap by smashing his hand and freeing himself from his restraints and pushes the trap's frontal part between two metal bars on the door window to prevent it from bursting open completely, however his right cheek is torn apart. After hearing of Hoffman's survival, Jill runs to the police station and she was taken into protective custody while she testified against Hoffman and promised to reveal everything regarding the Jigsaw case. Hoffman though led a one-man assault on the station and killed everyone there before capturing Jill and placing her in a Reverse Beartrap as revenge, strapping her to a chair and watching her get brutally killed. Hoffman then used Strahm's hand to plant the evidence on him and set everything on fire before planning to leave the city but is ambushed and abducted by three pig-masked figures. The leading one is revealed to be Lawrence Gordon, who takes Hoffman to the Bathroom due to John's order to take action if anything happened to Jill and locks him inside, leaving him to die and with no chance to escape.

Microcassettes and TV Recordings

 * "Hello, Brad. Hello, Ryan. I want to play a game. The same woman has played each of you for fools, manipulating your love for her and causing nothing but pain. Her fun and games pushed you both to break the law to fulfill her material needs. She is toxic. And today, all of your crimes will be made public. Now you will choose who will drop out of this triangle, for within 60 seconds, one of you must die. If you wish the save the person you both so desperately love, then the saws must be pushed all the way to one side or the other, sparing her while proving who is indeed the alpha male. Are you both strong enough to walk away from what is destroying you or will you fight one more time for the heart that binds? You have 60 seconds to decide. Live or die. Make your choice."
 * "Hello, Bobby. I want to play a game. You have amassed wealth, fame and notoriety based upon your story of survival. Many have aided you in your cause, but few know the truth. You are a liar. You and I both know you have never been in a trap nor have you ever been tested. Today, these lies will come full circle and you will learn if you truly have what it takes to call yourself a survivor. The cage you find yourself in will symbolize your rebirth. Within the next 60 minutes, you must stay upon the path of learning and traverse a series of obstacles to obtain access to your wife, who you have also deceived. If you fail to reach her before the clock runs out, she will die. Live or die, Bobby? Make your choice."
 * "Hello, Bobby. Before you is one of your trusted colleagues. She has been your publicist for years, knowing your lies, but choosing to speak no evil. She has been richly rewarded for her words, but today, she will be rewarded for her silence. In the x-ray you will see the key, the key to Nina's freedom, which will shut off her device. But there's a catch. You have 1 minute to pull the fish hook from her stomach and to unlock the device or else the four spikes will penetrate her throat, silencing Nina forever. Remember, the spikes will also advance each time the decibel level in this room rises above a whisper, killing her even sooner. Will Nina live or die, Bobby? The choice is yours."
 * "Hello, Bobby. The feeling running through your body is fear: the fear of not knowing if you have what it takes to survive. Before you is your lawyer, who swore the Code of Ethics, but chose to see no evil, in order to benefit herself. Once her device begins to rotate, it will pierce her eyes and mouth if you don't delay it's movement for at least 30 seconds. To do this, you must step into the other machine and lift the bars to the highest position, long enough to close the circuit, slowing down her device. If you do nothing, she will wind to her death before the clock runs out. Do you have what it takes to help her? Make your choice."
 * "Hello, Bobby. Across from you is your closest friend. He knows all your sins, yet he acts as though he hears no evil. Today, what he hears will be the difference between life and death. Bobby, you must help Cale walk over the planks and get as close to you as possible. Find your own way across the beams to the key. You must get it over to him over the last span between you. If the noose around Cale's neck is not removed within 60 seconds, a winch will be engaged and your secret will be left hanging. Does Cale live or die, Bobby? The choice is yours."
 * "Hello, Bobby. Before you is the door that leads to your wife. However, you must first make a choice. As you may have guessed, your decision will be as difficult as pulling teeth. The lock before you requires a four digit combination to open. However, if it is access you seek, then a true sacrifice will have to be made. Watch and learn, Bobby. The necessary numbers have been etched onto two of your teeth. Look to the chart as a reference for which teeth to pull in order to enter the digits. Time is ticking down. You must make your decision quickly."
 * "Hello, Bobby. You have almost completed your rebirth. However, your final task will be your most difficult. The woman before you symbolizes your success. She is your trophy and she has seen the good in your message, despite it's dishonest beginnings. Today, we will see if you can truly earn her love. To prove your status as a survivor, you must overcome a game that should be all too familiar. You supposedly survived it once already, so it should be easy to survive once again. Pierce the hooks through your chest muscles and connect the extension cords above you before the clock expires. Both hands will be needed to complete the task. But that should be simple, for, as you claim to understand, the pectoral muscles can easily support your weight. So I ask you Bobby, when you embrace every day as if it is your last, will it be with your wife? Make your choice."
