Ok my car's overheating because I think it blew the aftermarket radiator hose...

The problem?

I can't get my ****ING hood open. I tug and tug on the release, and I hear it click, but it will NOT open for anything. Short of sawing the hood in half, any advice on how to get it open? If I fcuk up the cable it's not a big deal cause I'll do pins....

Please give me some advice ASAP!
