Murdering a prostitute soon after, the Party Crasher takes a gun dealer hostage and later executes him before escaping and attempts to fire on an innocent crowd, killing at least one man. When police lieutenant John Moss confronts him, he reveals the Party Crasher [[WouldHurtAChild murdered a 4-year-old-girl]] in the past, to which the Party Crasher only laughs that one sacrifices pawns.
