or "The Ice Maiden" or "The Freezer Shower"

Welcome to your first test, Jeff. For the past three years, you've cursed the name of all those you thought were responsible for the death of your son. You've fantasized that those accountable will pay. Well, you will find a woman in front of you chained in place. This will prevent her from running, much like she did on the day your son was hit. Her name is Danica Scott. She was the only witness present at the scene of your son's untimely demise. If not for her own self absorption and cowardice, she could have brought your son's killer to justice. Now it is you, who has a chance to bring her to justice. You alone can grant her the gift of life, before she freezes to death. Behind the pipes on the back wall, you will find the key that will free her and bring you one step closer to the man responsible for the loss of your child. Will you claim the key to save only yourself, or can you find it within you to save another? Make your choice. Jigsaw explain the rules |
Words inscribed on the door to the Freezer Room read: "Face Your Fears." Danica Scott was suspended by her arms in a walk-in freezer, where she was stripped naked and had her body systematically sprayed with freezing water from twelve hoses, linked along two vertical poles on either side of her. Jeff was forced to decide whether or not to assist her or let her freeze to death in the freezer room. Danica was the witness to the accident which killed Jeff's son (Dylan Denlon), but she fled the scene of the accident and refused to testify against the man responsible. After Danica pleaded for her life and apologized to Jeff, she was able to convince Jeff to try to save her although he appeared unwilling at first. Jeff's task was to retrieve the key that would unlock Danica's bindings, as well as the door to the next room and to escape the Freezer Room. The key was suspended behind a wall of icy cold pipes, just out of Jeff's reach and the only way he was able to retrieve the key was by leaning just far enough for his face to press against the pipes, causing the flesh of his cheek to stick to them. Grabbing the key, Jeff pulled back, tearing away part of the flesh from his cheek, however, by the time Jeff had obtained the key to free her, Danica had frozen solid to death, becoming completely encased in ice. Jeff promptly exited the room and found a scrap of a photo to fit with the first one he found before the ice shower.
Original Ideas: Before settling on the final version of the Freezer Room, the creators and writers of Saw III went through a few different versions of the game, with only minor changes. Originally, the victim was going to be a male police officer, but they decided against it, instead going with the idea of a female witness. Instead of being completely naked, Danica was going to be in a T-shirt and nickers, but they figured having her being sprayed would make the shirt stick to her body and become too sexual, so they decided to put her in the freezer naked instead.
