The trailer begins with a mysterious package that has just arrived at the police station, with Zeke moving to the package stating, ‘get everybody out of here.’  

Zeke pulls out a small  flash drive from the box that reads, ‘Play Me’ as his partner looks on.

The video presents a number of red spirals, similar to the spirals that the Jigsaw doll had on its face, as a modulated voice says, ‘Hello Detective Banks.’

The voice then asks, ‘Do you know where your officers are?’ as we see two of them in an alley, one of whom is seemingly accosted by a man in a pig mask. 

The officers are strapped into a terrifying trap, in the middle of a subway track, as a train approaches rapidly.

Banks wonders if this could be the work of Jigsaw, and when his partner William adds that he thought the Jigsaw killer is dead, Zeke says he is, but the re-appearance of the Spirals around town seems to hint otherwise.

Banks is told by Capt. Angie Garza (Marisol Nichols) to ‘catch him,’ adding he has, ‘hours, not days’ to do so. 

Banks angrily asks how he can do this, ‘when there’s no one on the force I can trust?’ adding, ‘whoever did this has another motive.’

He then looks at a picture of his father Marcus (Jackson), a former police chief, with another detective asking when the last time he saw his father was.

Banks comes home to find his father inside with a cocktail, as he says, ‘A Jigsaw copycat, this is gonna go sideways fast.’

When they get an ‘officer down’ call, they find a pig’s head, as Zeke adds that was, ‘a diversion to get us out of the precinct.

Zeke adds that he needs ‘everyone on this case,’ adding the copycat ‘could be anyone,’ adding they’re gonna, ‘tear this city apart.’
