Quick recap

Detective Zeke Banks, son of former police chief Marcus Banks, is hated at the precinct for turning in a dirty colleague. A Jigsaw copycat in a pig mask, with a spiral as his calling card, starts killing cops with brutal traps. Zeke works the case with rookie William Schenk, until his partner seems to become a victim. Marcus is abducted. The twist: Schenk is alive and he's the killer. His father was murdered by a corrupt cop, and he wants the force cleaned up. He gives Zeke a choice, and SWAT's arrival sets off the trap that kills Marcus in front of his son.
