“Now, then… this chess diorama,” Lawrence said. “Does it mean anything to you?”
Lawrence pushed the freezer door further open, until it met its own hinges and would go no further. Then he shuffled sideways on the floor to allow Adam to observe the pieces alongside him. There came the dragging clink of iron, and then Lawrence felt the cold of Adam standing at his side.
“Hold on… I think I remember this,” Adam said. He squinted into the dark of the freezer as Lawrence turned to look at him.
“I think… yeah! It was when Jigsaw got up, before he locked me in,” Adam exclaimed, his eyes bright with remembrance. “He gave me this whole fucking speech about how I killed that guy, Zep.”
“What did he say?” Lawrence asked. He’d had no idea that John had spoken to Adam during the game.
“Some fake-philosophical bullshit,” Adam said. He growled under his breath, and then after a moment, he recited slowly, like he was pulling from a deep well:
“The pawn… the pawn has done what the knight couldn’t do.”
Interesting. So if Jigsaw had been talking about Adam killing Zep, then…
“This must be you,” Lawrence said. He pointed to the white pawn standing up in the freezer. “So that makes me…”
Lawrence pointed to the black knight piece that stood facing the pawn.

There’s something sinister and creepy, but obvious in the idea that Australian director Leigh Whannellhas created the latest variation of classic HG Wells’ story, The Invisible Man. But rather than retreading the bandaged mysterious figure wearing sunglasses, hat and…
