Western audiences are into heroic self sacrifices in "brother v. brother" conflicts, such as the archetypal death of Ben Kanobi at the hands of Darth Vader in _Star Wars, Episode 4_. Some, like the "death" of Neo at the end of _Matrix Revolutions_ or of Ripley at the end of _Alien 3_ include Christian symbolism. The hero's journey usually entails the correcting of wrongs in some way. As such, perhaps your protagonist offers his life, soul, honor, etc., to his long-lost friend. The villain does what he will with it. Perhaps he then gets pulverized by bits of building falling on him. That's up to you.
