Dyyavola explains the brutal mechanics of a “Ukrainian manicure,” which is an elaborate form of torture. Doc files faster and manages to free himself from the zip ties. Doc analyzes how best to attack Dyyavola to escape. Doc pretends to break down, crying and begging Dyyavola for his life. He pretends that he has photos of papers from Jenny’s apartment on his phone, and Dyyavola seems interested in seeing them. As Dyyavola leans forward, Doc headbutts him as hard as he can on his nose, breaking Dyyavola’s nose, cheekbone, and orbital rim.
Dyyavola isn’t unconscious from the blow as Doc had hoped he would be, but Doc exploits Dyyavola being dazed. He manages to quickly get Dyyavola in a headlock, with Doc falling onto his back with Dyyavola on his chest. Doc keeps Dyyavola in a headlock for the four minutes necessary to kill him, thinking about Jenny the entire time.
Doc makes sure the office door is locked. He then sees that Dyyavola is still logged into his cryptocurrency account, so Doc transfers the remaining Bitcoin into Doc’s own account. The transfer requires Dyyavola’s thumbprint scan, so Doc hacks off Dyyavola’s thumb with the hammer and chisel, as he cannot drag Dyyavola’s corpse over due to its massive size.
