Afterward there is an abrupt and brief sex scene, which then match cuts the image of Anya’s exposed back to a scene where they plot to infiltrate a prison from a nearby hotel room. BJ narrates the scene leading up to the prison in gravelly tone that makes it feel like a movie trailer. A half hour later and you’re blowing off Nazi heads and limbs with dual-wielding shotguns.
