Russo firing his Beretta Px4 Storm Silencer at the MP guards

Russo was in the Hazmet truck with Emerson and two other henchmen when they arrived in Woodlawn. He killed two MPs guarding the main gate in Woodlawn and secured it so that they can download the financial data.

Later, Gabriel sends him to Camden, New Jersey to kidnap John McClane's daughter Lucy, posing as a FBI agent sent to rescue her. Russo brings Lucy to Woodlawn, despite resistance and a punch to his face from her.

Russo then checks out an alert in the third sub-basement floor. He spots McClane and computer hacker Matt Farrell and holds them in gunpoint. But McClane managed to overpower him. Then, McClane pushes him into the office chair and tosses him down the stairs, breaking his neck, but not killing him. McClane confronts Russo into revealing where Lucy is, but refuses to do so. Gabriel tries to contact Russo, but McClane mocks that he is going to meet Gabriel's dead girlfriend, Mai Linh. Russo tries to reveal where McClane and Farrell to Gabriel, but McClane fires a shot to scare Gabriel. McClane takes his pistol and ammo and leaves him in the stairway. Russo's fate afterwards isn't explicitly stated, though both the theatrical and unrated versions of the movie seems to suggest that he dies from his injuries.
