When Bryan enters the building, Malankov engages him in a brawl that culminates with Bryan mortally wounding him.

Trivia
- Despite being the secondary antagonist and having all of 10 minutes of screen-time, Malankov served as The Heavy because his killing Lenore is what kicked off the entire plot in the first place, and Stuart's true nature wasn't revealed until the very end.
