However, Zourab forces Boyka to fight one more match against Koshmar, a giant, relentless martial artist. Boyka manages to break Koshmar's arm and leg, knocking him unconscious. Enraged, Zourab takes Alma hostage and orders his henchmen to kill Boyka, but Boyka kills them all and chokes Zourab to death. An injured Boyka is arrested by the police.
