Dan shoots Bradshaw and is ready to have to shoot Jane as well.

But the machine powers off, and she is now out of its control.  She falls onto the couch and passes out.

---

 This should have been much better.  Erika Jordan is completely wasted, just doing a lame striptease at the start.  The sex scenes overall are extremely tame (perhaps there's a more explicit version out there?). As if this wasn't bad enough, the film has several scenes of archival footage, clunkily copy-pasted in.
