Jigsaw's main victim is Jeff (Angus McFayden), who has been consumed with bilious revenge since his beloved son was killed by a driver who received a light prison sentence.

...with a friend who does a new procedure, go to an interesting course (the good ones often don't give CME - mandated continuing medical education - credits) or you might become a better doctor in your room at night with your old books that you see in a new light because you've seen a certain case that day.

...little dose of populism might help light a fire under a political class that engenders more disdain than respect among the French. But experience has shown that people anywhere can be just as boneheaded as their politicians, and that pandering to them doesn't necessarily improve matters. One year ago the death of two teenagers in a poor suburb of Paris set off 12 days of riots in destitute and disenchanted banlieues throughout France.
