Early Life[]

Emily at work

Emily was the mother of two children and one of six insurance inspectors working for William Easton, the senior vice president of the department for membership and claims at the Umbrella Health insurance company, along with Aaron, Gena, Dave, Shelby and Josh. She and her colleagues were responsible for checking each client's request for insurance for any errors that could justify the company's refusal of bearing the treatment costs. Therefore, she and her colleagues were ultimately targeted by the John Kramer, better known as the Jigsaw Killer. (Saw VI)

William Easton's Trial[]

Sawvi02

The victims on the carousel

One day, all six of them were abducted and taken to the abandoned Rowan Zoological Institute by Detective Mark Hoffman, John Kramer's successor, who chained them to a spinning carousel inside one of the former animal enclosures. When they woke up, they immediately panicked as they were surrounded by darkness. As they discussed the situation, they suddenly heard the voice of William, who was trapped at the zoo as well. While Shelby tried to explain their situation, the others yelled at William that he should save them. Once William entered the room, the lights were turned on. As William approached them and they asked why they were there, he responded that this was some kind of game. Seconds later, a TV turned on in front of them and a mechanical ventriloquist puppet appeared on screen. The puppet introduced William to his test and explained him the rules of this game. A rigged shotgun was positioned in front of the carousel. The carousel would stop periodically, resulting in one of his associates sitting directly in front of the shotgun's barrel. This victim would be killed after a few seconds if William didn't decide to save the person. In order to do so, he would have to simultaneously press two buttons in a small box before him. However, he could only save two of them while the other four would inevitably die. After William received his instructions, the TV turned off again.

Seconds later, the carousel came to a standstill for the first time with Aaron sitting in front of the shotgun. He desperately tried to convince William to follow his business policy according to which Aaron was worth living as he was a young and healthy man. Due to William's hesitation, he panicked even further and yelled at him. William however still couldn't bring himself to press the buttons in the box before him which could have saved Aaron's life, leading to him being the first one to be killed by the shotgun. Eventually, the carousel was set in motion again. After a few seconds it stopped once more with Emily sitting in front of the shotgun. While the others yelled at William to save them, Emily reminded him of her two children, stating that they couldn't grow up without her. Thereby, she finally convinced William to press the buttons, much to her fellow colleagues' displeasure. The shotgun slowly went in an upright position and shot above Emily's head before it returned to its original position. Albeit she was still afraid, she thanked William for saving her. At the same moment, the carousel moved on.

In an attempt to convince William to save her, Shelby claimed that her parents were sick and needed her. Thereby, she got in an argument with Dave who called her a liar and claimed to know that Shelby's parents weren't even talking to her anymore for a long time already. Eventually, Gena sat in front of the shotgun when the carousel stopped again. As William hesitated again, she further panicked and begged him to press the buttons until she was finally killed by the shotgun. While the others continued to argue with William, Gena suddenly claimed that she was pregnant. Josh immediately yelled at William not to believe her, resulting in an argument between them. Eventually, Gena sat in front of the shotgun when the carousel stopped again. As William hesitated again, she further panicked and begged him to press the buttons until she was finally killed by the shotgun. As the carousel moved on, Dave desperately tried to convince William to save him by telling him that his parents would pay as much as he wanted for him to save Dave. However, both Josh and Shelby yelled at William and claimed that Dave was a thief, stealing from the company for many years. When the carousel stopped and Dave sat in front of the shotgun, he began to cry and told William not to believe them. William however eventually decided to let him die, making Dave the third one to be killed by the shotgun. When the carousel continued to move, Josh badmouthed her, claiming that she was a liar and couldn't be trusted. Therefore, she told William that Josh only wanted to get William's job and would back stab him as soon as he got the opportunity to do so. At this moment, the carousel stopped once more with Shelby being the fifth one to sit in front of the shotgun. She desperately tried to convince William to save her, which he, after some hesitation, finally did. As he pressed the buttons, the shotgun was moved into an upright position again and shot above Shelby's head before it returned to its original position. Due to her salvation, Shelby burst into tears and thanked William for saving her, while the carousel moved on for one last time. Realizing that he had no more chance to survive and his death was inevitable, Josh was shocked and angrily yelled at William for not saving him and insulted both him and his business policies. When the carousel finally came to its last standstill, Josh demanded William to look at him while he dies, which William mournfully did. Seconds later, Josh was ultimately killed by the shotgun, leading to him being the fourth and last victim to die in the trap. (Saw VI)

Rescue[]

The zoo was found and raided by the Metropolitan Police Department shortly afterwards. As the police secured and searched the entire building, they discovered Emily and Shelby and freed them from their shackles. The events surrounding the massacre were later reported to the public by the news channels. (Saw VI, 3D)

Survivor Group[]

Emily attends the group's meeting

Following the events at the zoo, Emily joined a self-help group of Jigsaw survivors who met in a local church. Therefore, she was also present when Bobby Dagen, another supposed Jigsaw survivor, who had earned much fame and wealth by publishing his story of surviving one of Jigsaw's traps, told them about his own experience and encouraged them not to feel ashamed for what they had gone through. After Bobby's dramatic speech, another survivor, Dr. Lawrence Gordon, stood up and sarcastically mocked him and his "remarkable" ability to get something positive out of his horrifying experiences. Bobby however tried to act confident and thanked him. Therefore, Gordon and the other confused members of the group applauded him, showing their gratefulness of being part of his story. (3D)

Personality[]

Not much can be said about Emily's personality due to her short screen time. However, she seemed to be a quite ruthless individual to a certain degree as her work ruined and ended the lives of numerous seriously sick people whose treatment costs weren't borne by the company. It should be noted however that she was the only victim of the carousel who didn't excessively try to badmouth her colleagues in order to survive, albeit this may be in part because she didn't have much of a chance to do so before she was stopped in front of the shotgun. Emily is also quite clever in using her children, or rather remind William Easton of her kids need her, as a smart tactic of convincing Easton to save her.
