Biography[]
Valentina appears as the nurse of Pederson Group, often tasked with checking the patient’s vital signs, drawing blood and helping them with any post-operation medication. When Cecilia gives John Kramer a tour of the facility, she introduces him to Valentina who proceeds to check John’s vital signs. During John’s “surgery,” Dr. Cortez suspiciously directs Valentina to turn the monitor featuring the supposed livefeed of the operation away from John’s sight.
After the operation and abandoning the warehouse, Valentina continues her real profession of being a prostitute. On the night of her abduction, Valentina is engaging with an eager client at a nightclub. She refuses to offer her services unless she gets paid, but the relenting client attempted to assault her only to get knocked out by Amanda Young. Valentina is abducted immediately after.
Valentina along with the rest of her co-conspirators awaken to find themselves chained in the very place they scammed John. Unlike the rest of her coworkers, Valentina is the only one who awakens in a trap. She is seated and restrained by the neck to a metal pipe fixture resembling a cross. In front of her is a Gigli saw positioned directly in front of her neck. To her right, there is a small box containing another Gigli saw and a belt to use as a tourniquet. As the quartet tries to understand what’s going on, John enters the room where the four immediately beg for his help. John rebuts the group’s pleas by scolding the four for their unforgivable crimes, which resulted in the deaths of 34 people while they collectively pocketed $8 million dollars in profit. John and Amanda then proceed to set up Valentina’s game as the group can only helplessly look on. Valentina helplessly tries to attack and give death threats to the pair as they begin to explain the rules of her game.
Death[]
Valentina's death
The box contains Gigli wire and a suction device, which Valentina has to use to cut her leg, which has marker lines on it indicating where to cut, in order to save herself and then use the suction device to suck out the her bone marrow. Once enough bone marrow is collected, she will be set free. If she does not complete the trap in three minutes, the razor wire will move and proceed to decapitate her. With enough encouragement from Cecilia and the gang, the hesitant and hysterical Valentina begins painfully sawing off her leg. She succeeds in severing her leg and inserting the vacuum into her femur. However she is just shy of collecting 3 ounces of bone marrow by the time the timer reaches zero. Valentina fails and is decapitated, her death being seen by the other trapped victims, as well as John, who is overseeing the test. Her body then slumps onto the floor and lands to the side of Cecilia. James gave her the Golden Chainsaw because the gore was great.
