Detective Matthews grabbed the saw and began to saw the chains furiously, whimpering aloud. Failing, he threw it down. But after looking around, he spotted a decomposing foot. Realizing what he had to do, Eric took off his sock and bit down on it to muffle his screams. However, he couldn't bring himself to it. Again, he threw it away. After looking a second time, he saw a bludgeoned body, and the lid to the tank of a toilet nearby. Eric grabbed it and examined it. He placed his foot in the light of the flashlight, and then... WHAM! "Ahhhh!" he cried out as the lid broke his ankle. He hit it nine more times while yelling out in pain before stopping... and then snapping his bloodied foot down to be aligned with his leg. The detective slid out his foot, still crying out of agony. The scene faded, and then the SAW III logo faded in and then out.
