Thanks for the replies..

I'm still puzzled by this one.

The part that intrigues me is the photo the police officer took getting into the hands of the serial killer (Saw killer).

In the movie, we saw the discharged officer take the video footage of the orderly poking his head through the curtains.

So either:

A) The photo provided to Adam was a video still of that shot that the officer had taken.

or

B) The Jigsaw killer had taken the exact same photo from a location identical to that of the police officer. But given the fact that the image on the photo and video monitor are identical, I don't think this is possible, because the Jigsaw killer and the officer were not in the same room, at the same instant; one with a video camera and the other with a still phot-camera, taking pictures.

If we assume that the picture given to Adam is a video still of the video footage the police officer filmed, how did the Saw killer get a hold of it?

The chronology of the movie is a little sporadic.. However, despite this, the police officer was alive up until the final scenes in the movie, and by then the photograph had aready been issued to Adam via the bag in the toilet. So if the police officer was alive previously (and he was), then it isn't likely the Saw killer was able to enter the room he was residing at, and taking pictures from.

Assuming option A above is the way the Saw killer obtained the photo, how would he get the photo from the officer? The officer paid Adam to take pictures of the doctor, but it's my understanding that he never came into contact with the Saw killer himself. Therefore, how would one of his pictures get in the hands of the Saw killer? Furthermore, knowing that the officer had been at his residence, and witnessed him (cloaked, but still) at his place, would make me think he (the Saw killer) would be very reluctant to come close to the officer, for fear of being recognized, even caught. Granted, the officer was since discharged from the force, but I'd still think the Saw killer would want to avoid contact if at all possible.

So, that being said, how did the officer's still photo of the orderly peeking his head out the window get into the hands of the Saw killer, who then gave it to Adam via the bag in the toilet?
