In a hallucination, he sees Alice and then Marjorie in the box. In a mad rage, he handcuffs Maggie's legs so she can't pull them through. He then saws her in half, killing her. When he pulls the two halves of the box apart, her intestines fall out and he snaps out of his delusion and realizes what he's done.
