Final Fight with Bryan and Death
He is not seen again until the climax, where he is relaxing on a beach. Malankov arranges to meet Stuart downtown, but instead proceeds to flirt with two women in the pool. When Bryan enters the building, Malankov engages him in a shootout in which Malankov gains the upper hand and beats him some more. Malankov points Bryan's gun at him ready to kill him but Bryan grabs him by the leg, takes his gun from him, and shoots Malankov, mortally wounding him. As he dies, Malankov reveals that the whole thing was a setup, and that Stuart had played them against one another, saying that we were ruined by the same man as he dies from his injuries.
Personality
Malankov is an intelligent and sophisticated man but at the same time he is also megalomaniacal, greedy, and violent mob leader from the most diabolical kind ever imagined.
Trivia
- Despite being the secondary antagonist and having all of ten 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.
