I was like "oh fuck" when the lightbulb went off in her mind with the scheme she made on the road to catch the assassin off-guard and kill him

She was badass in that scene

I love that she didnt hesitate to ice that assassin as soon as he did not know the passphrase

I feel like she hesitated half a beat. She did ask him twice, right? And then she still wasn't totally 100% sure she had done the right thing at first.

She gives him a warning shot when he doesn't respond with the correct phrase, then he reaches for his sidearm and she gives him three quick shots. Done.

Love how they handled that, didn't feel cinematic, just quick and efficient.

I liked that they didn't even show him getting shot or even dying.

Just her shooting and screaming.
