Luckily, fans have combed over the franchise and found the small details that you probably didn't catch while you were trembling behind your fingers.

    From Redditor u/terminatah:

    Everything Jigsaw says [in Saw II] can be taken two ways, so he never really lies to anyone about what's happening on the monitors. like when he says "all you have to do is sit here and talk to me. Listen to me. You do that long enough, you will find your son in a safe and secure place."

    But that's the nature of Jigsaw. he always presents an alternate way of looking at objective reality.
