the producers of the "saw" films have fought to differentiate the jigsaw killer from other horror film killers. darren lynn bousman, the director of "saw ii", "saw iii", and "saw iv", has stated on the character's role "he's not jason or freddy. he's not even hannibal lecter. he's a person with extreme beliefs and he really thinks he's making a difference. he's a vigilante if anything. he thinks he's making a difference." tobin bell, the actor who plays jigsaw, describes his character's role as being more of a scientist or engineer and "he thinks very specifically and very pragmatically". about jigsaw's games being detail-oriented, bell said: "my sense is that jigsaw is so detail oriented that i think he thinks in terms of worst case scenario. i think he's a very good judge of character, so his sense that, for example, that detective matthews was going to play right into his trap, which he did, was right on. now, it seems to me that he's always got a second plan in place. and there's probably been a number of second plans. i mean, we've only seen three movies. maybe there are six more somewhere where he failed, where something didn't play out". speaking about playing the character, bell stated that "[y]ou have to think of someone like jigsaw from a very specific point of view. he doesn't view himself as some kind of diabolical psychotic. you know there's a little bit of evil in everyone. it just gets carried further. most of us have some sort of moral fiber that restricts that. some framework. and then others because of their lives and what happens to them, the thing develops in some other way."

later, while trying to sleep, eric remembered the brand name of a padlock used on the device that killed michael. with this information, he decided to tag along with kerry and swat commander daniel rigg to an old warehouse that they believed to be jigsaw's latest lair. finally coming face to face with jigsaw inside, eric was put into a test. eric was told that he had a problem to deal with, and uncovered numerous computer monitors that displayed a camera feed that showed his son, along with seven others, being held captive in a house. confronting jigsaw, eric was told that daniel was in danger of the nerve gas that was being pumped into the house, but that if eric were to sit and have a conversation with jigsaw for long enough, he would get his son back. eric, under advice from kerry, reluctantly sat and began his test. during his conversations with jigsaw, it was revealed that eric had once been a ruthless and brutal police officer who used extreme measures to complete his assignments, going so far as to plant evidence on suspects and shoot down unarmed suspects. however, jigsaw seemed to state that eric at least felt alive during those times, but was now cowering behind a desk. eric eventually left the conversation with jigsaw to watch his son's progression through the house with the seven strangers, only being convinced by kerry, who was revealed to at one point to have been eric's mistress, to threaten jigsaw's work as a way to find his son's location. when that did nothing, jigsaw revealed that the seven strangers in the house with daniel were in fact seven ex-convicts who had been arrested by eric after being framed with false evidence. eric, under rigg's advice, began to aggressively attack jigsaw, punching and kicking him repeatedly and breaking his finger in order to find out where his son was being held. jigsaw stated that eric's game was over, and that he would take eric to the house. together, they escaped from the building without eric's team, and drove away in a van. jigsaw gave eric directions to the house along the way. leaving jigsaw in the van, eric went through the back door of the house, and found the corpses inside in a state of decay, as if having been there for an extended period of time. he managed to get into the foundation of the house, where he stumbled across the bathroom from the first film, where his son had already been to. expecting to find daniel there, eric was attacked by amanda young, dressed in a pig mask, and rendered unconscious. it was revealed that the feed of the house that eric had seen was not in fact live, but had been a recording. daniel had been locked in a safe that had sat a few feet away from jigsaw during eric's test. when eric woke up, he was shackled by the ankle to a pipe in the bathroom with his gun unloaded and his flashlight out of reach. amanda revealed herself to be jigsaw's apprentice before sliding the door shut, leaving eric to die.
