When they arrive, the Sawyer family lawyer, Farnsworth (Richard Riehle),
gives her the keys to the family house along with a letter from Verna.
Excited about the property she now owns, Heather and her friends look
through the house, decide to stay the night, and immediately set off to
buy supplies and food, trusting Darryl to stay and look over the house.
Darryl begins looting it and believes he will find valuables in a locked
room in the cellar of the house; however, upon entering the locked room
he is bludgeoned by Leatherface. Heather and her friends return and
discover the house has been ransacked, but choose to let it go. As Kenny
prepares dinner he finds the butler's cellar, where Darryl was killed,
and Leatherface impales him on a hook. Heather finds a decomposing body
upstairs and runs to find her friends, but she is knocked unconscious by
Leatherface. Waking up in Leatherface's room, she manages to escape to
the graveyard. Hearing the screams and chainsaw, Ryan and Nikki draw the
attention of Leatherface, while Heather gets their van and picks up her
friends.
In the ensuing chase, Leatherface saws through one of the van's
tires, causing it to crash and subsequently kill Ryan. Heather escapes
and makes her way into a carnival, but Leatherface escapes the police
who are patrolling the grounds. Sheriff Hooper (Thom Barry)
realizes that Leatherface survived the fire and is still alive; Mayor
Hartman sends Officer Marvin (James MacDonald) to the Sawyer house to
kill Leatherface, against Hooper's orders. While looking for
Leatherface, Marvin is startled and accidentally kills Nikki, before
being killed by Leatherface himself. While at the station, Heather
learns of what the townspeople did to her family and flees. She is soon
caught by Hartman's son, Deputy Carl Hartman (Scott Eastwood),
who ties her up at the long-abandoned Sawyer slaughterhouse to lure
Leatherface. Once there, Leatherface finds out that Heather is his
cousin and cuts her ties, but is attacked by Mayor Hartman and another
officer, Ollie (Ritchie Montgomery). As Heather hears her cousin being
beaten she decides to help him, killing Ollie with a pitchfork and
giving Leatherface his chainsaw, which he uses to force Mayor Hartman
into a meat grinder. Afterward, Heather and Leatherface return home,
where Heather reads the letter from Verna that tells her Leatherface
will protect her in return for being taken care of. Realizing
Leatherface is the only family she has left, Heather decides to stay
with him.
In a post-credits scene,
Gavin and Arlene show up at the mansion to visit Heather, intending on
greedily splitting her assets. As they wait in front of the door,
Leatherface answers with his chainsaw in hand.
