'Deep Blue Sea' Moments: Maniac

Yes, the semi-perennial update series the best in sudden, yet telegraphed death is back.  Now with pictures.

William Lustig's Maniac tells the tale of a crazy man who kills women for no real reason.  He has one, but it doesn't really make sense to anyone but him.  There's a real plot to this, but the killings make up a good 60-70% of the film.  Which leads to our moment...

He follows a nurse from her shift at the hospital and down into the subway.  She misses a car, so she hides in the bathroom.  After a tense few minutes, he leaves.  She wanders out and celebrates quietly at the mirror...
Yeah, that was a bad idea...
Seriously though, celebrate when you actually escape.  Getting ten feet away from the killer's last known location is not escaping!
