Nachdem der russische Spion endlich gefunden wurde, beschließen die Regierungsbeamten, ihre mysteriöse Operation "Matroschka" zu starten. Sheriff Cody traut den beiden allerdings nicht. Er setzt Deputy Landers auf sie an - und bringt seinen Kollegen damit in große Gefahr. Während die Gerüchte um den Nachtmahr immer lauter werden, fasst Cody mehr und mehr Vertrauen zu Deputy Taylor - und erzählt ihr die furchtbare Wahrheit über den Tod seiner Frau.

Nach einem weiteren Mord gibt es endlich eine erste Augenzeugin. Doch leider klingt ihre Aussage nicht sehr glaubwürdig. Stattdessen wird der flüchtige Freak aufgegriffen und festgenommen. Deputy Landers ist fest davon überzeugt, dass er auch Sheriff Gibson auf dem Gewissen hat - auch wenn der Freak das vehement bestreitet. Sheriff Cody und Mr. Fisher haben allerdings einen ganz anderen Verdacht. Derweil entdeckt die Empfangsdame Rose etwas Eigenartiges auf den VHS-Kassetten.

Während der Freak weiter auf der Flucht ist, taucht erneut eine Leiche mit seltsamen Einstichwunden am Rücken auf. Der Bürgermeister macht Druck: Er will nicht, dass die Leute im Ort von dem mutmaßlichen Serienkiller erfahren - der Schein muss um jeden Preis gewahrt werden. Cody lässt sich davon nicht beirren und befragt die Wahrsagerin Marzani. Diese scheint zu wissen, wer hinter all den Morden steckt, doch ihr Verdacht klingt schlichtweg lächerlich.
