When Agent Peter Strahm closes in on him, Hoffman kills and frames him. In "Saw VI", he kills two FBI agents and a technician who threaten to expose his secret. Jill Tuck attempts to kill him with an updated reverse bear trap, as per John's request, although he manages to escape wounded. In "Saw 3D", he sneaks into the police station, kills everyone standing between him and Jill, then kills her with the original reverse bear trap John had used on Amanda Young. After she dies, he destroys his warehouse and attempts to leave town. However, before he can leave, Hoffman is abducted by Dr. Lawrence Gordon and left to die in the bathroom from "Saw".
