History[]

David's Test[]

In June 2003, a psychopathic killer targeted a hospital orderly named David. One day, David was about to leave the hospital after ending his shift. However, while waiting for the elevator, the killer suddenly approached him from behind, knocked him out with a bludgeon, and took him to an abandoned location. He strapped David to a chair and put a mechanical contraption on his head. This device was hooked into David's upper and lower jaws. He also abducted another man and injected him with an opiate overdose, rendering him unable to move or feel anything. When the kidnapper prepared David's game, he made the second victim swallow a key and painted a black question mark on his stomach. After finishing all of his preparations, the killer left the building.

Shortly afterward, David woke up. Although initially confused, he quickly panicked upon realizing he was trapped. David desperately tried to free himself from the chair but stopped when a TV turned on next to him. A mechanical ventriloquist puppet appeared on-screen and introduced him to a perfidious game. The doll described the device on his head as a "reverse bear trap" and demonstrated its deadly function on a mannequin's head. The trap would rip David's mouth open if he did not free himself within 60 seconds. To do so, he had to cut the key to the device from the stomach of his supposedly dead cellmate. (Saw)
