Synopsis:
John has nightmares about the victims of the Family Man. He blames himself for their deaths. He decides to do something about it, so he begins investigating. A business associate of O'Flynn's Reed Hackett purchased the Family Man's momentos. John questions him, then calls the police. John realizes that the Family Man leaves no witnesses, so he suspects that he himself is a target. He tries to set himself up as bait, then he learns that the Family Man is already after him.
