Intro: It's Starts where Saw X Left Off. Diego Driving John, Amanda and Carlos to hospital. However They are Pulled Over by 3 Police officers (Officer Ruiz, Detective Rosa and Officer Vasquez) Officer Ruiz Sees Diegos cut up arms and Carlos and John covered in Blood Demands to know what happened.

They Reluctantly let them go. Later that night, John, Amanda and Diego Knock Them out and Transport Them to the Same Location as The Other Traps in Saw X.
The setting is a cold, cavernous warehouse, its walls lined with jagged metal and blinking monitors. Officer Ruiz, Detective Rosa, and Officer Vasquez are restrained in complex, mechanical contraptions—chains and gears creaking faintly. Their faces show a mix of confusion and dread. John Kramer, frail but commanding, steps forward, his face gaunt from illness but his eyes burning with purpose. Amanda Young lingers behind him, her expression a blend of loyalty and quiet menace. A faint hum of machinery underscores the scene.]**
**John Kramer**: "Hello, Officer Ruiz. Detective Rosa. Officer Vasquez. I want to play a game. You stand—or rather, *sit*—before me, bound by the very authority you’ve twisted to serve yourselves. You believed you could wield your power without consequence, that you could wrongfully cage me and my apprentice—" *[he glances briefly at Amanda, who remains still]* "—and walk away unscathed. But no one escapes judgment. Not even those who hide behind a badge."
*[John steps closer, his voice steady but carrying the weight of his conviction, each word deliberate despite his weakened frame.]*
One of you falsified reports, planting evidence to build a legacy on the backs of the innocent. The Other sold there integrity, taking bribes to protect the guilty while the vulnerable suffered. And the Last one They're fists have spoken louder than your oath, leaving a trail of broken lives in the name of control. Together, you conspired to arrest us, not for justice, but to silence a truth you could not face. My work. My purpose. But tonight, you will face yours."
*[He pauses, letting the weight of their situation settle, his gaze shifting between them.]*
"You may think my time is short, that my body betrays me. But my will endures, and so does the game. Before you lies a path to redemption—a series of trials crafted to test your resolve, your honesty, and your willingness to atone. The mechanisms that bind you are not mere traps; they are mirrors, reflecting the corruption you’ve sown. Each choice you make will determine whether you earn your freedom or become a monument to your failures. Will you sacrifice for one another, or will your selfishness seal your fate?"
*[The lights flicker, and a low grinding sound echoes as the restraints tighten slightly, prompting gasps from the officers. John’s voice lowers, almost a whisper, yet piercing.]*
"The games I have in store for you are not vengeance. They are opportunity. A chance to prove you value the lives you’ve sworn to protect, the oaths you’ve betrayed. The rules are clear: confront your sins, or they will consume you. Time is ticking. Let the game begin."
*[John turns slowly, leaning on a cane for support, as Amanda steps forward to adjust a nearby device. The machinery roars to life, and the officers’ restraints begin to shift, signaling the start of their harrowing ordeal. John and Amanda disappear into the shadows, leaving only the sound of their footsteps and the hum of the traps.]*
John Then Has 3 traps:
.The Scalding Scales
.The Corkscrew
.The Shrapnel Capsule
The Scalding Scales:
The officer you Choose for this wakes up strapped to a chair, his arms and legs bound by rusted metal cuffs. Above his head, a heavy, spiked metal press is slowly descending, connected to a mechanical scale system. In front of him is a large, reinforced glass tank filled with boiling water (maintained at a scalding 100°C/212°F), with a long, heat-resistant straw protruding from it. The straw is rigged to a weight-sensitive mechanism connected to the scale. On one side of the scale, a heavy weight is pulling the press downward. On the other side, a counterweight is barely keeping it at bay. A digital display on the tank reads: “Drink to Balance the Scales. Sacrifice for Redemption.
The tank contains 5 liters of boiling water. The officer must drink at least 3 liters to remove enough weight from the tank to tip the scale and stop the press.
The straw is designed to deliver the boiling water at a controlled rate, but it’s still scalding hot, causing severe pain and potential internal damage.
A secondary mechanism monitors the officer’s vitals. If he passes out from pain or refuses to drink, the press accelerates.
The officer You Chose must overcome his fear and pain to drink the boiling water, knowing each gulp burns his mouth, throat, and stomach. The trap tests his willingness to endure the same suffering he’s inflicted on others through his corruption. To survive, The Officer must consume enough water to shift the scale, all while battling the agony and risking severe injury or death from the scalding liquid.
The Corkscrew: The Second Officer You Choose wakes up strapped to a heavy industrial chair in a derelict factory filled with rusted machinery. There wrists and ankles are secured in metal cuffs attached to four massive helical screws—resembling oversized industrial spiral conveyors that spiral inward toward his body.
"The Mechanism: The four giant threaded rods (inspired by flexible screw conveyors) begin rotating slowly when the 90-second timer starts. Each turn pulls There limbs along the spiral path, twisting them inward with increasing torque. Joints dislocate first, then bones fracture under the relentless screwing motion. If unchecked, the limbs converge at his torso, crushing and contorting his body into a mangled spiral until his spine snaps and organs fail.
The Rules To escape, The must obtain the key taped to there own corrupt badge on his chest—but it's wired to a pressure sensor. They have to use a nearby handheld drill (chained within reach) to bore into They're own thigh and retrieve a submerged microchip containing recordings of they're bribes. Inserting the chip into a console forces them to vocally confess specific crimes (e.g., "I accepted 200,000 pesos from the Sinaloa cartel to ignore their shipments"). Each verified confession slows one corkscrew. All four must be slowed to stop the machine completely.The twist: The drill's bit is coated in a neurotoxin from cartel-sourced drugs he's protected—prolonged use causes paralysis, making confession harder.
The Shrapnel Capsule:
The Last Officer You Chose wakes up standing inside a tall, transparent cylindrical capsule (roughly 7 feet tall, 3 feet in diameter) made of thick bulletproof glass reinforced with steel bands. Their body is immobilized The capsule is completely sealed except for a small access panel at the base that requires a key.The entire interior of the capsule (except for the small space occupied by the victim's body) Contains hundreds of razor-sharp metal shrapnel fragments: nails, screws, broken glass shards, ball bearings, razor blades, and jagged pieces of scrap metal. Also in the capsule is an Compressed Air machine blowing air through the Capsule.
Method of Escape: The Officer You Chose Must use there hands (Which are outside of the capsule but with limited movement) to Press a Button to stop the Shrapnel from slicing them Apart in 5 minutes or less.
Aftermath: The Last Officer Manages to Escape The Capsule And Tries to attack John, However Amanda's attempts to Stop them Fail and they push Amanda Away knocking her aside. As The Officer Punches John a Few times he fully intends on killing him. But Suddenly 3 gunshots Go Off and the officer Drops dead.... Revealing that Carlos Had shot him.
In a final Scene it's revealed that this whole thing was a Flashback from Schenk before he starts his First day as a detective with Ezekiel Banks as the Events of Spiral Start and the Credits Roll.

As the Title Suggests this is the Second to last one. The last one will be possibly even longer. (I can't believe it's taken me almost 3 years to finish this.)
