Ten years after the death of John Kramer as known as jigsaw, was called by Edgar on top of a roof, Halloran along with Detective Keith Hunt. In his attempt to find out what was going on and who was responsible for it, Halloran questioned Edgar, while his colleagues still held him at gunpoint. Edgar claimed that he himself was going to die if he didn't activate the remote. Therefore, Halloran ordered the officers to aim for the remote and shoot it if Edgar pulled the trigger. As the time was running out, Edgar lost his composure and activated the device, causing the officers to instantly shoot and destroy the remote. However, a bullet hit his chest and Edgar collapsed severely injured. Afterwards, the officers lowered their guns, while Halloran angrily asked which one of them shot Edgar in the chest against his orders. The recreation of the Murderer's trial: When the first Jigsaw victim was found, Eleanor Bonneville recognized the call sign of the jigsaw piece carved out of the victim's skin. After hearing John Kramer's voice on a thumb drive, she first denied the idea that Kramer was alive. Halloran and his partner, Keith Hunt, begin to investigate the 'game' more seriously. Edgar was taken to the St. Peter's Hospital, where he had to be put in an artificial coma. Sometime later, he was briefly revisited by Halloran, who wanted to look after him after the mutilated corpse of a woman had been found before the entrance of the hospital. When he left again, Officer Canter remained at the hospital and guarded the door to Edgar's room. Edgar Munsen's Death: However, when Canter fell asleep, Logan entered the room and injected a medicament into Edgar's infusion bag, causing him to wake up. Afterwards, Logan abducted him and eventually killed him by slicing his throat. After examining the body, she told Logan she found that there might be a way she be able to find the place of death, but they were interrupted when a second Jigsaw victim was found. Following his death, Logan cut a jigsaw piece from Edgar's cheek. Afterwards, he put his corpse into the coffin of John Kramer, before burying it again. The next day, the police commissioner ordered John's corpse to be exhumed in order to calm down the public after the recent murders. In the presence of several reporters and under Detective Keith's watch, the grave was dug up again and the coffin was opened. When Keith recognized Edgar Munsen, he immediately informed Detective Halloran. Raid on Eleanor's Replica Lair Halloran became suspicious of forensic pathologists Logan Nelson and Eleanor Bonneville, specifically Eleanor. Though in turn Logan, a military veteran whose wife was killed two years prior, is suspicious of Halloran's motives in investigating the case. The police captain orders John Kramer's grave to be exhumed in order to put an end to the rumors that the 'game' is really another Jigsaw game, and that somehow John is still alive, inside the coffin is instead Edgar's body, with a jigsaw piece cut out of his cheek. Logan and Eleanor speak in a bar about their distrust of Halloran, before Eleanor takes Logan to her "studio", revealing that she is an obsessive fangirl of the Jigsaw case and has built many replicas of his previous traps, which she worries could incriminate her. Hunt has followed them and takes photos of her studio, which he shows to Halloran. Halloran, Hunt and an SWAT team then raid Elanor's lair upon doing so they find a body. Later on, Halloran ordered Keith to arrest Logan as he had started to suspect him. Logan, however, told Keith that Halloran was actually the killer and the one responsible for shooting Edgar on the rooftop. Keith gave him the opportunity to prove his theory and accompanied him to the morgue. Logan removed the projectile from Edgar's chest and put it into a cleaning solution. Unnoticed by Keith, he replaced it with a bullet of a Glock 17, the gun used by Halloran. Therefore, he finally convinced Keith that Halloran had killed Edgar. Abduction: After Halloran raided Eleanor's studio and had discovered the body of the third Jigsaw victim. Eleanor broke into Logan's home to speak with him, Eleanor told Logan that through research, she had a good idea where the current Jigsaw game was being played. Eleanor insisted they leave the cops out, because of Halloran, but Logan suspected Eleanor wanted to see the place for herself to feed her obsession. He agreed to go with her, seeing as she was armed with a gun and they drove off to the farm. Unknown to them Halloran was following them from behind, as he suspected Logan and Eleanor to somehow be involved with the murders. Finding the various traps in the farm, Logan accused Eleanor of being the new Jigsaw, but she still claimed Halloran was the killer. Halloran still unknown that he was there suddenly ambushed Logan and attacked him. Halloran held Logan at gun point as he still suspected Logan and Elenor of being involved somehow, Logan struggled with Halloran for the gun. The gun went off, due to the struggle between him and Logan who then told Elanor to run, Halloran then took the chance to knock out Logan. While Eleanor fled the farm, Halloran started to chase after her but he was subdued by Logan. Personality: Brad Halloran was nothing less of a greedy and shameless man whose first priority was always his own benefit. He would free known criminals to use them as informants, frame innocent people to further his career, and even take bribes. He had no guilt about the innocent people who died because of his actions, lying to himself into thinking that he was trying to balance out the corruption that already plagued society. His self-preservation also made him very cowardly. This was made evident when he pushed Logan's button first in their game after volunteering to go first, hoping that he would go free if Logan died first. Even more, he even tried to bargain for his life. Trivia: -Halloran's pistol is a Glock 17. -It is possible that Halloran got away with his crimes because of Article 8. -Although Logan is revealed to be the Jigsaw killer, Halloran still serves as the main antagonist due to his actions having impacted and eventually leading to Logan to replicate Jigsaw's first game. Overall it was Halloran's actions that had the most impact as they caused the events of the film. -Although Halloran's first name is never said in the movie, it can be vaguely seen in his name tag in a few scenes.
