Suddenly, a news bulletin reports that a serial killer has just escaped from a nearby institution. The killer has a for one of his hands. They guy still wants to make out but, the girl is scared and tells the guy to take her home, after saying it a couple times she goes back to kissing her. They then hear noises on the car after the girl tells him several times again to take her home, he finally decides to take her home. In the end, the killer's hook is found hanging from the door handle. Different variations include a scraping sound on the car door. Some versions start the same way, but have the couple spotting the killer, warning others, and then narrowly escaping with the killer holding onto the car's roof. The couple are later killed.
