Ballerina (2025) Movie Script
1
Oh, that's beautiful.
It was terrible.
I can't do it.
Hmm, not yet.
But you will.
You're growing up so fast.
You say that all the time.
Yeah, it's because you are.
You look so much
like your sister.
I wish I could remember her.
If I come back
and you're a foot taller...
gonna ground you.
Shh.
Remember what
we learned, okay?
Eve, come with me.
Stay quiet.
We opened our hearts to you.
We embraced you.
We let you, an outsider,
marry a daughter of our clan.
And how did you repay
this kindness?
You took
what was not rightfully yours.
And now, your wife is dead,
to atone
for your transgressions.
Did you think that
you could just walk away?
Hmm?
Where is she?
Where is Eve?
Charming.
You're a fucking coward.
You're trying
to convince yourself
that fate absolves you
of your actions.
-There are no choices.
-Yeah.
Does that make
what you do any easier?
It makes what I do...
necessary.
One bullet...
well placed...
can be a magical thing.
It's neither good...
nor evil.
But how a man uses it
reveals his true character.
You wanted choices.
Well, here they are.
You kill yourself,
and your daughter lives.
Or kill me,
and you and your daughter
die together.
Choice is yours.
You've got your choice.
Now, do you have
the balls to do it?
Papa!
Hey, baby, look at me.
It's okay.
Come on.
Come on.
Papa.
I'm sorry, honey.
-I never wanted this for you.
-Papa.
I'm sorry.
Papa!
Papa...
Tchaikovsky.
How lovely.
At a time of loss,
there's nothing easier
than pity
and nothing more difficult
than the truth,
as there are no easy answers
for grief.
I'd like to be honest
with you.
Would that be all right?
Your father was a good man.
He wanted a free
and open life for you.
Not like the one that
he had to endure.
But we all live
with the decisions we make.
Now he's been taken from you.
I can do nothing about that.
But what I can do...
is offer to take you
to his family.
They will look after you
and, hopefully...
one day become
your family, too.
The Director will see you now.
Does she know
who her parents really were?
Come here. Sit.
You dance, yes?
Mmm-hmm.
I run this theater,
and I am always looking
for new recruits.
I know you.
I know your pain.
What boils inside of you
under the surface.
I can give you somewhere
to put that anger.
Those men took your past.
Don't let them
steal your future.
Well?
She says my path is now here
with the Ruska Roma.
Very well...
Eve.
Thank you, Mr. Winston.
You are most welcome,
Miss MaCarro.
And know that I will
always be at your service.
My name is Nogi.
Did you know my father?
I did.
Your father was Ruska Roma,
like me.
Like you will be, too.
He was what we call Kikimora.
What is that?
In Slavic mythology,
the Kikimora is
a kind of spirit
to those with darkness
in their hearts.
She can be vengeful
and destructive.
Like the boogeyman?
Yes.
But to the innocent...
she can be a protector.
It is...
two sides...
to the one coin.
To kill...
To save.
But, ultimately...
it is up to you to choose.
Are you finished?
No.
Good.
That will be all for today.
Tend to your wounds
before you get sepsis,
and we have to
cut off your feet.
Tell Tatiana she's next.
"Her Majesty" says you're up.
That woman hates me.
She hates everybody.
Christ, Eve.
Why do you
push yourself like this?
I want to be ready.
Ready for what?
You know what's funny?
When I was a little girl,
I actually did want
to be a real ballerina.
You are a real ballerina.
You're the best dancer here.
That other shit,
you'll learn with training.
Fire!
One bullet,
well placed,
can change the world.
The Kikimora's purpose is
to stop that bullet.
Time's up!
To become Kikimora
you must become the assassin.
You must learn
to move like him
and think like him.
For this next exercise,
we will be using
simulated rounds.
What are the rules?
Protect your ward
at all costs.
That is the only rule.
Why did you fail?
He's too strong.
Do you really believe
that strength
has anything to do
with whether you win or lose?
You will always be weaker.
You will always be smaller
and at a disadvantage.
He is beating you
because you are allowing him
to define the terms
of the contest.
You want to win?
Change the terms.
Improvise, adapt, cheat.
Lean into your strengths,
not his.
Fight like a girl.
Begin.
Good.
Where is she?
Tatiana's things are gone.
Did something happen to her?
Sit.
Tatiana did not have
the qualities required
to continue
with the Ruska Roma.
What are you talking about?
She lacked the killer instinct
I see in you.
Your childhood was taken.
This pain is what drives you.
Tatiana...
there is sadness, not pain.
There's a difference.
You two are now
on different paths.
Then why are you
holding me back?
I'm ready.
Perhaps you are right.
It is time.
This is the final stage
of your training.
Oh, my God.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I'm a fucking test?
How the mighty have fallen.
Do you know who I am?
No.
I'm you...
in ten fucking years.
Somehow
you managed to get out,
but here you are back
where you began.
All of this for what?
With this, Jardani,
your ticket is torn.
You can never come home again.
Take him to the lifeboat.
Do svidanya.
Das vedanya.
You're him.
The one they call
the Baba Yaga.
The students
all talk about you.
How do I get outta here?
The front door is unlocked.
No. I mean...
how do I start doing
what you do?
Looks like you already have.
That door will lock sooner
than you think.
You can still leave.
You still have a choice.
Why didn't you leave?
I'm working on it.
The Director feels
you are ready
for your first contract.
You will protect this woman.
Katla Park.
Her father is
our primary charge.
He is concerned that
his competitors
may try to get to him
by ransoming his daughter.
Your job is to make sure
they don't get the chance.
To infiltrate past security,
you'll be using a modified
3D printed Glock 43X
with reinforced
carbon fiber barrel,
and polymer rounds.
Rubber bullets?
Problem?
-No.
-You'll find Miss Park
at Minus Eleven.
In position.
Copy.
I have the principal in sight.
Hold your position.
She can dance.
I got movement at ten o'clock.
A threat?
Stand by.
Hey!
Definitely a threat.
You should get out of the way.
I can't.
I understand.
Hey!
No, no, no.
I don't want anyone
to touch me right now.
Hey, hey. It's okay.
You're safe now, it's fine.
Let's get you out of here.
Hey, what the hell is
goin' on up there?
Somebody respond.
Were you stuck
in the elevator?
Yes. It was very scary.
Miss, something's leaking
from your bag.
Yes. Thank you.
No problem.
Is there a reason you've
brought me a severed hand?
Look at the scar.
I've seen this before.
That's the same scar
as the man
who murdered my father.
It was a mark from a tribe.
You knew who they were.
How dare you?
I have been protecting you.
Why didn't you tell me
who they were?
My child,
you do not understand.
People with that mark,
they have no rules,
no consequence, no mercy.
They do not interfere
with our business,
and we do not interfere
with theirs.
This is a pact as old as
the Ruska Roma itself.
All these rules,
who are they serving?
When you deal in blood,
there must be rules...
or nothing survives.
Why would a tribe
try to kidnap a child?
I am warning you,
you will not find them,
and hunting for them
will only bring chaos.
I'm ordering you,
do not pursue this.
Do I make myself clear?
Please...
take your hand.
Welcome to the Continental.
Checking in?
No. I'd like to speak
with the manager.
Is he expecting you?
No, he's not.
I see.
And what, may I ask,
is your name?
Eve.
Eve MaCarro.
Let me see what I can do.
Eve MaCarro of the Ruska Roma.
What a pleasure
to see you again.
Please.
So, what brings you here?
I'm looking for the tribe
that killed my father.
And if I suggested you didn't?
I would smile and nod
and then ignore you.
Ah.
The Director has already
warned me about them
and the rules.
So, I can appreciate
your reluctance.
That's very kind of you,
but a few words of advice,
if I may, Miss MaCarro.
Whatever information
you think these people have,
it might not be in your
best interests to know it.
I still need to know.
"Needing to know"
is what got us banished
from the Garden of Eden.
Are you prepared
to be cast out again, Eve?
Please.
Very well.
I'll give you this.
It's not a tribe, it's a cult.
That kills
not just for business,
but for sport.
While we live among
so-called polite society,
they do not.
Where can I find them?
The precise location
is unknown.
But we do monitor them
when they stay at our hotels.
They have access
to the Continentals?
Oh, yes. Better to have them
inside the tent, pissing out,
than outside, pissing in.
And, yes, there is a man
who bears that mark
staying at one of our hotels
at the present...
in Prague, I believe.
On what business?
Shall we?
Hello, my dear.
Muriel, be a darling
and bring up the latest
Blackwire submissions
on a Daniel Pine.
Daniel Pine...
Contract submitted
three days ago.
His bounty is set
at two million.
He's currently holed up inside
the Prague Continental...
room 3-1-5.
No outside calls
have been logged,
and he's purchased
a shitload of room service.
Mostly ice cream.
Sweet tooth, hmm?
Hard copy, please.
Sir...
there is a call for you.
From The Director.
Checking in.
Certainly.
And how long
will you be staying with us?
Just the night.
Room 314, please.
Still no movement from Pine.
What are my orders?
Keep your eyes on Pine.
We may have a taker.
You're right.
We have a taker.
A woman, young, dark hair.
She's in.
Who are you?
Shit.
You're not supposed
to say that word.
Right. Sorry.
-What's your name?
-Ella.
I'm Eve.
You're not here
to hurt my daddy, are you?
Your father?
Ella, come here.
Everything's gonna
be all right.
Why don't you come
stand behind me, sweetheart?
What do you want?
When I was a child,
men with your mark
murdered my father.
I just want to know
where to find them.
You have no idea what you
just walked into, do you?
No business being conducted.
They're just talking.
Contract services.
How can I help you?
Account 8-6-5-1.
Name on contract?
Daniel Pine.
Double the contract.
Fuck.
You just made everything
a whole lot worse.
Those people that
you're looking for?
They're surrounding
this hotel right now,
hoping somebody breaks
the rules and takes the bait.
I think they were hoping that
somebody was gonna be you.
Now, you've just
made 'em antsy.
Why would they be
at the hotel?
They just want me dead
to get to her.
Baby, stay down!
Ella, come on.
Come on.
He's moving. Hallway.
Damn it!
Come on.
Back, back,
back the other way. Go!
Wait, wait. Get behind me.
Come on.
Ella, honey...
let's go.
Why do they want her?
It's a cult.
No one gets out.
Ever.
You gotta help me
get Ella outta here.
She deserves
a better life than this.
I can't.
That's not why I'm here.
You're Kikimora.
Isn't that what you do?
Help me protect her.
I'll tell you
where to find them.
Please?
Daddy...
are we going to die?
No.
No, baby.
No, not today.
You can trust her.
-Hi.
-Huh?
It's okay.
- Hey.
- How many left?
Two. Maybe ten.
Oh, fuck it.
Daddy!
Yes?
We have the girl.
Good.
Sir, there was
someone else there.
Who?
A woman.
For the contract?
I don't think so.
I think she might
have been after Ella.
Really?
Do we, uh...
Do we know who she is?
Not yet.
I left her
for Continental security.
They started this.
That's bullshit.
I did not break any rules.
-You broke my fuckin' jaw.
-You're still using it.
I didn't kill anyone.
You're going to need
to check out.
Understood.
And what will it be today,
madam?
I'd like to go hunting.
Have you ever done business
with these people?
I have not.
But you know of them.
You know more than me,
I assure you.
May I be "frank"?
Mmm-hmm.
I prefer to keep it that way.
Hmm.
Are we just
window shopping today,
or would you like
to make a purchase?
Depends on the merchandise.
After you, madam.
Pardon me.
So...
will this be a large
or small game hunt?
Large.
The V Seven Harbinger TTI.
Thirty rounds of .308.
It's got a Trijicon AccuPoint
1-to-6 optical on top,
and in case you wanna get
up close and make it personal,
you've got a side RMR
for the faster, dirtier stuff.
TTI custom Benelli
M2 21-inch fin grip.
Oversized charging handle,
oversized bolt release.
This will take
a bear's head off.
Easily.
Oh, this is
a personal favorite of mine.
This...
Ah! Fuck!
Bastards! Fuck!
Motherfuckers.
All right...
you didn't hear this from me.
Their precise location
has never been confirmed,
since anyone
who's ever gone looking
has also gone missing.
That's bad math.
However,
whispers suggest
they've been known to gather
somewhere in these peaks,
deep in the mountains
past Abersee and Feldkirk.
It's not much.
It's more than I had.
Thank you.
Sorry about your shop.
I need a car.
Did you think
I would not find out?
That you expressly
disobeyed my orders?
Then tell me who they are.
I told you,
we do not engage with them.
You risk the destruction
of our family, and for what?
Your own selfish reasons.
Return at once
or I will have no choice.
Can I get you anything?
Just a coffee.
Come, let's go.
It's Agnetha!
Send somebody
to the restaurant!
Hurry!
Go around the back.
Don't let her escape!
I'm not gonna hurt you.
The fuck?
Chancellor, this is The Eye.
What is it?
The outsider
has not been contained.
Engage full protocols.
Find her!
Ah.
You're having
a little tea party.
Aren't you going to say hello
to your grandfather?
Where is Daddy?
Is he okay?
You have no idea, Ella,
how worried I was.
All of us.
Your father...
well, he broke our customs.
He was trying
to take you away.
Away from me.
Away from your family.
I hate you.
That hate will make
you strong, Ella.
I hate you.
Chancellor.
We got her.
Is she dead?
She's Ruska Roma.
She has their mark.
You know,
I met your Director once.
It was many years ago
in Moscow.
Not a very pleasant lady.
But we did have a respectful
conversation, nonetheless.
A shared understanding of
the roles that we both play...
and, more importantly,
the roles that we don't play.
The Director
didn't send me here.
The Ruska Roma
has nothing to do with this.
Well, it does now.
Why are you here?
If you've come for the girl,
you are gravely mistaken.
Ella is my granddaughter.
Someday,
all of this will be hers.
My son,
well...
he tried to deprive her
of her true heritage.
You put a contract
on your own son?
You may have noticed
we don't take well
to outsiders
meddling in our town.
This is where people
like yourself come to live,
to have real lives.
To raise families.
Would you not like to someday
have a family of your own?
I had a family!
I was a child.
Men came into my house.
Men from your tribe.
Ah.
I see.
This is about vengeance.
They killed my father
and tried to take me.
Tried to take you?
Fate is a very humbling thing.
What is it?
Well, she...
she wasn't working for Pine.
She's here because
I killed her father
when she was a child.
She's your sister.
No.
For God's sake!
What are you doing?
Lena!
All this time,
I thought you were dead.
What are you talkin' about?
You don't remember me, do you?
You were born here, Eve.
We both were.
My little sister
has come home.
When I was younger,
I used to wonder...
"Why did he take you
and not me?"
I mean, later I realized
it was too late for me.
I'd already taken a life.
But you...
He thought
he could raise you
with no memory of this place,
of your true home.
But I guess it never
leaves your blood, does it?
In the end,
we are who we are.
We are not the same.
Your people...
killed my father.
Our father. Yes.
For betraying us.
And then our mother
had to pay the price.
The Chancellor was trying
to save you that night.
He was trying
to bring you back home,
as he would with anyone.
My father was trying
to give me a normal life!
Well, he would be very proud.
You're forcing children
into this life!
As Ruska Roma has with you.
No!
She gave me a choice!
I chose this!
Oh, did you?
Or did fate just find
another path for you?
At least here we're honest
about who we are.
No Kikimora lies.
We've got eyes on her.
Cabin 83.
She's inside
with Lena, sir, talking.
Take them out.
Sir?
Kill them both.
You heard The Chancellor.
Blow it.
I was only nine when they
told us you were dead.
Save your breath.
I missed you.
Everyone, move in.
Check for survivors.
Strike team...
Strike team, do you copy?
Is it done?
This isn't done
until you're dead.
Yes?
We have a problem, you and I.
And what problem
might that be?
That a member of your tribe
has contravened
a centuries old truce.
The Ruska Roma
have no desire for a war.
Especially not with you.
Whether you sent her or not
is of no interest to me.
You will accept
full consequences
of her actions.
Which are?
The end of your tribe.
Your students,
your fucking pets, everything.
Call her off.
Chancellor, she's operating
against Ruska Roma.
I could not call her off
if I tried.
Then war it shall be.
Perhaps an agreement
could be struck.
I can send someone
to solve the problem.
Someone capable.
No more bloodshed.
If you agree to this,
you must also agree
that your men will not engage.
If come midnight
she still breathes,
retaliation will be
inevitable and total.
And if the problem
is taken care of?
Then I will reconsider
my response.
Very well.
I will, of course,
need your location.
A secret I assure
you will die with me.
Madam, she is family.
She has made her choice.
The Baba Yaga.
Citizens of Hallstatt...
this order stays in effect
until the bells ring out.
As of now, you do not engage.
Anyone who feels compelled
to go against this order
will be cast out.
Leave the wolf to its prey.
She sent you here to kill me?
That's up to you.
Or you can leave.
Your choice.
Do you remember me?
From the theater?
Remember what you said to me?
You told me I could leave,
that it was my choice.
It still is.
I'm not leaving.
You don't have to do this.
Just leave.
Leave.
Just... go.
He killed my father.
I know.
Let me finish this.
Midnight.
If it isn't done...
Rules.
And consequences.
Sir, he's let her go
and she's on the attack.
I recommend
we re-engage full protocols.
Attention.
Every citizen is now being
called to hunt the outsider.
Let's go.
Let's move it, move it!
Check the boathouse.
You see anything?
She's here!
Hurry up! With me.
Be on alert.
Make sure everything is clear.
Cool.
Attention.
The outsider
has entered the armory.
All teams proceed
to the armory.
She wants me...
and she wants Ella.
Orders?
You find her...
and you destroy her.
Come on.
Keep your eyes open.
Two men down
at the armory entrance.
I repeat, two men down
at the armory entrance.
Hold there. Hold.
Go! Go!
Requesting all citizens
to the tunnels immediately.
All citizens proceed
to the tunnels.
Move in. I got your six.
Oh, shit.
Over there!
Go, go!
She's there!
We have
lost sight of the outsider.
All teams be on alert.
Continue to patrol
the perimeter.
We're on the square.
Eye, report back. Report back.
We're on the square.
Alpha Team,
halt!
She has exited the tunnels.
Check behind you.
Sir.
In the interest
of Hallstatt's survival,
it would be best
to relocate you.
In 200 years,
no leader of Hallstatt
has ever left
the seat of power
to seek shelter.
I understand.
But, sir, we've also
lost track of John Wick.
Let go!
Let go of me.
Attention.
Requesting all citizens...
This is suicide.
It's fucking John Wick.
Come on. He's only one man.
Cut across here.
Don't you think
we've had enough?
Do you really think you're
going to save her from me?
From...
From all of this?
Whatever happens here...
nothing is going to change.
The village will remain,
the children will be raised,
and the system
will continue as it has
for the last thousand years.
Look at you.
You know that you don't choose
to be a killer,
you are chosen.
Just like your sister
was chosen.
Just like Ella
has been chosen.
It is your fate
and you cannot change it.
The only person
you're fighting is yourself...
It's okay.
Let's go.
Hmm?
Jardani?
So, she is dead?
He is dead.
Fine.
Daddy?
Hey, sweetie.
Come here.
Get up here.
Room 814.
I trust the talk went well?
Checking in, hmm?
Yes.
Safe haven, Miss MaCarro.
You may have cut
the snake's head,
but the body still lives.
They'll be looking for you.
Contract services.
How may I help you?
Name on the account?
Processing.
One step closer
and you're all mine
You leave me no choice
Burned into mind
I'm going in for the kill
There is no other way out
If you need to baby
Cry, cry about it
Why don't you cry?
Time to pay
for what you started
Who's sorry now?
Tell your lies
Yeah, you can run your mouth
But can you fight
like a girl?
Fight like a girl
And take this world
Tonight, you're the victim
Of your own crime
You made your choice
You'll swallow your fate
Stone cold
Feed the snakes
Hold that fire
Say my name
Baby, you can cry
Cry, cry about it
Why don't you cry?
Time to pay
for what you started
Who's sorry now?
Tell your lies
Yeah, you can
run your mouth
But can you fight
like a girl?
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl
Sinner and savior
I've been walking the line
Killers collide
The feeling
an adrenaline high
Violent behavior
in my blood
No one but myself to trust
Vengeance well
that shit's a hell of a drug
Break the cycle
I don't wanna
Break your spinal
yeah I'm gonna
My finger on the trigger
I've been feeding the pain
You'll never
fight like a girl
So I keep winning the game
I wanna see you cry
Cry, cry about it
Why don't you cry?
Time to pay
for what you started
Who's sorry now?
Tell your lies
Yeah, you can
run your mouth
But can you fight
like a girl?
Sinner and savior
I've been walking the line
Devil disguised
I see it
when I look in your eyes
Yeah, you can
run your mouth
But can you fight
like a girl?
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl
I know I should
have the pride
I know I should
have the spirit
I know you would
tell a lie
If you knew
I couldn't hear it
You'd say it
oh, so proudly
But do you know
your crimes?
And do you think about me?
And were you ever mine?
You say I mean
the world to you
To keep me on my knees
Then dig the knife
in deeper
Just to watch
how much I bleed
I'm stripped to the bone
I don't want to be alone
No matter how I plead
You do it
'cause you know you can
Turn around and bite
the hand that feeds
Every promise
that you break
Every time you try to place
the blame on me
I don't want
to control the pain
Turn it into
the fire I need
The feeling
rushes through me
Can you still hear me cry?
But after all I'm standing
On my own this time
You say I mean
the world to you
To keep me on my knees
Keep me on my knees
Then dig
the knife in deeper
Just to watch
how much I bleed
I'm stripped to the bone
I don't want to be alone
No matter how I plead
You do it
'cause you know you can
Turn around and bite
the hand that feeds
I played your twisted game
Played your twisted game
Now watch me walk
through the flames
Choking on the taste
of your mistakes
And now you're the one
on your knees
That's why you
bite the hand that feeds
Oh, that's beautiful.
It was terrible.
I can't do it.
Hmm, not yet.
But you will.
You're growing up so fast.
You say that all the time.
Yeah, it's because you are.
You look so much
like your sister.
I wish I could remember her.
If I come back
and you're a foot taller...
gonna ground you.
Shh.
Remember what
we learned, okay?
Eve, come with me.
Stay quiet.
We opened our hearts to you.
We embraced you.
We let you, an outsider,
marry a daughter of our clan.
And how did you repay
this kindness?
You took
what was not rightfully yours.
And now, your wife is dead,
to atone
for your transgressions.
Did you think that
you could just walk away?
Hmm?
Where is she?
Where is Eve?
Charming.
You're a fucking coward.
You're trying
to convince yourself
that fate absolves you
of your actions.
-There are no choices.
-Yeah.
Does that make
what you do any easier?
It makes what I do...
necessary.
One bullet...
well placed...
can be a magical thing.
It's neither good...
nor evil.
But how a man uses it
reveals his true character.
You wanted choices.
Well, here they are.
You kill yourself,
and your daughter lives.
Or kill me,
and you and your daughter
die together.
Choice is yours.
You've got your choice.
Now, do you have
the balls to do it?
Papa!
Hey, baby, look at me.
It's okay.
Come on.
Come on.
Papa.
I'm sorry, honey.
-I never wanted this for you.
-Papa.
I'm sorry.
Papa!
Papa...
Tchaikovsky.
How lovely.
At a time of loss,
there's nothing easier
than pity
and nothing more difficult
than the truth,
as there are no easy answers
for grief.
I'd like to be honest
with you.
Would that be all right?
Your father was a good man.
He wanted a free
and open life for you.
Not like the one that
he had to endure.
But we all live
with the decisions we make.
Now he's been taken from you.
I can do nothing about that.
But what I can do...
is offer to take you
to his family.
They will look after you
and, hopefully...
one day become
your family, too.
The Director will see you now.
Does she know
who her parents really were?
Come here. Sit.
You dance, yes?
Mmm-hmm.
I run this theater,
and I am always looking
for new recruits.
I know you.
I know your pain.
What boils inside of you
under the surface.
I can give you somewhere
to put that anger.
Those men took your past.
Don't let them
steal your future.
Well?
She says my path is now here
with the Ruska Roma.
Very well...
Eve.
Thank you, Mr. Winston.
You are most welcome,
Miss MaCarro.
And know that I will
always be at your service.
My name is Nogi.
Did you know my father?
I did.
Your father was Ruska Roma,
like me.
Like you will be, too.
He was what we call Kikimora.
What is that?
In Slavic mythology,
the Kikimora is
a kind of spirit
to those with darkness
in their hearts.
She can be vengeful
and destructive.
Like the boogeyman?
Yes.
But to the innocent...
she can be a protector.
It is...
two sides...
to the one coin.
To kill...
To save.
But, ultimately...
it is up to you to choose.
Are you finished?
No.
Good.
That will be all for today.
Tend to your wounds
before you get sepsis,
and we have to
cut off your feet.
Tell Tatiana she's next.
"Her Majesty" says you're up.
That woman hates me.
She hates everybody.
Christ, Eve.
Why do you
push yourself like this?
I want to be ready.
Ready for what?
You know what's funny?
When I was a little girl,
I actually did want
to be a real ballerina.
You are a real ballerina.
You're the best dancer here.
That other shit,
you'll learn with training.
Fire!
One bullet,
well placed,
can change the world.
The Kikimora's purpose is
to stop that bullet.
Time's up!
To become Kikimora
you must become the assassin.
You must learn
to move like him
and think like him.
For this next exercise,
we will be using
simulated rounds.
What are the rules?
Protect your ward
at all costs.
That is the only rule.
Why did you fail?
He's too strong.
Do you really believe
that strength
has anything to do
with whether you win or lose?
You will always be weaker.
You will always be smaller
and at a disadvantage.
He is beating you
because you are allowing him
to define the terms
of the contest.
You want to win?
Change the terms.
Improvise, adapt, cheat.
Lean into your strengths,
not his.
Fight like a girl.
Begin.
Good.
Where is she?
Tatiana's things are gone.
Did something happen to her?
Sit.
Tatiana did not have
the qualities required
to continue
with the Ruska Roma.
What are you talking about?
She lacked the killer instinct
I see in you.
Your childhood was taken.
This pain is what drives you.
Tatiana...
there is sadness, not pain.
There's a difference.
You two are now
on different paths.
Then why are you
holding me back?
I'm ready.
Perhaps you are right.
It is time.
This is the final stage
of your training.
Oh, my God.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I'm a fucking test?
How the mighty have fallen.
Do you know who I am?
No.
I'm you...
in ten fucking years.
Somehow
you managed to get out,
but here you are back
where you began.
All of this for what?
With this, Jardani,
your ticket is torn.
You can never come home again.
Take him to the lifeboat.
Do svidanya.
Das vedanya.
You're him.
The one they call
the Baba Yaga.
The students
all talk about you.
How do I get outta here?
The front door is unlocked.
No. I mean...
how do I start doing
what you do?
Looks like you already have.
That door will lock sooner
than you think.
You can still leave.
You still have a choice.
Why didn't you leave?
I'm working on it.
The Director feels
you are ready
for your first contract.
You will protect this woman.
Katla Park.
Her father is
our primary charge.
He is concerned that
his competitors
may try to get to him
by ransoming his daughter.
Your job is to make sure
they don't get the chance.
To infiltrate past security,
you'll be using a modified
3D printed Glock 43X
with reinforced
carbon fiber barrel,
and polymer rounds.
Rubber bullets?
Problem?
-No.
-You'll find Miss Park
at Minus Eleven.
In position.
Copy.
I have the principal in sight.
Hold your position.
She can dance.
I got movement at ten o'clock.
A threat?
Stand by.
Hey!
Definitely a threat.
You should get out of the way.
I can't.
I understand.
Hey!
No, no, no.
I don't want anyone
to touch me right now.
Hey, hey. It's okay.
You're safe now, it's fine.
Let's get you out of here.
Hey, what the hell is
goin' on up there?
Somebody respond.
Were you stuck
in the elevator?
Yes. It was very scary.
Miss, something's leaking
from your bag.
Yes. Thank you.
No problem.
Is there a reason you've
brought me a severed hand?
Look at the scar.
I've seen this before.
That's the same scar
as the man
who murdered my father.
It was a mark from a tribe.
You knew who they were.
How dare you?
I have been protecting you.
Why didn't you tell me
who they were?
My child,
you do not understand.
People with that mark,
they have no rules,
no consequence, no mercy.
They do not interfere
with our business,
and we do not interfere
with theirs.
This is a pact as old as
the Ruska Roma itself.
All these rules,
who are they serving?
When you deal in blood,
there must be rules...
or nothing survives.
Why would a tribe
try to kidnap a child?
I am warning you,
you will not find them,
and hunting for them
will only bring chaos.
I'm ordering you,
do not pursue this.
Do I make myself clear?
Please...
take your hand.
Welcome to the Continental.
Checking in?
No. I'd like to speak
with the manager.
Is he expecting you?
No, he's not.
I see.
And what, may I ask,
is your name?
Eve.
Eve MaCarro.
Let me see what I can do.
Eve MaCarro of the Ruska Roma.
What a pleasure
to see you again.
Please.
So, what brings you here?
I'm looking for the tribe
that killed my father.
And if I suggested you didn't?
I would smile and nod
and then ignore you.
Ah.
The Director has already
warned me about them
and the rules.
So, I can appreciate
your reluctance.
That's very kind of you,
but a few words of advice,
if I may, Miss MaCarro.
Whatever information
you think these people have,
it might not be in your
best interests to know it.
I still need to know.
"Needing to know"
is what got us banished
from the Garden of Eden.
Are you prepared
to be cast out again, Eve?
Please.
Very well.
I'll give you this.
It's not a tribe, it's a cult.
That kills
not just for business,
but for sport.
While we live among
so-called polite society,
they do not.
Where can I find them?
The precise location
is unknown.
But we do monitor them
when they stay at our hotels.
They have access
to the Continentals?
Oh, yes. Better to have them
inside the tent, pissing out,
than outside, pissing in.
And, yes, there is a man
who bears that mark
staying at one of our hotels
at the present...
in Prague, I believe.
On what business?
Shall we?
Hello, my dear.
Muriel, be a darling
and bring up the latest
Blackwire submissions
on a Daniel Pine.
Daniel Pine...
Contract submitted
three days ago.
His bounty is set
at two million.
He's currently holed up inside
the Prague Continental...
room 3-1-5.
No outside calls
have been logged,
and he's purchased
a shitload of room service.
Mostly ice cream.
Sweet tooth, hmm?
Hard copy, please.
Sir...
there is a call for you.
From The Director.
Checking in.
Certainly.
And how long
will you be staying with us?
Just the night.
Room 314, please.
Still no movement from Pine.
What are my orders?
Keep your eyes on Pine.
We may have a taker.
You're right.
We have a taker.
A woman, young, dark hair.
She's in.
Who are you?
Shit.
You're not supposed
to say that word.
Right. Sorry.
-What's your name?
-Ella.
I'm Eve.
You're not here
to hurt my daddy, are you?
Your father?
Ella, come here.
Everything's gonna
be all right.
Why don't you come
stand behind me, sweetheart?
What do you want?
When I was a child,
men with your mark
murdered my father.
I just want to know
where to find them.
You have no idea what you
just walked into, do you?
No business being conducted.
They're just talking.
Contract services.
How can I help you?
Account 8-6-5-1.
Name on contract?
Daniel Pine.
Double the contract.
Fuck.
You just made everything
a whole lot worse.
Those people that
you're looking for?
They're surrounding
this hotel right now,
hoping somebody breaks
the rules and takes the bait.
I think they were hoping that
somebody was gonna be you.
Now, you've just
made 'em antsy.
Why would they be
at the hotel?
They just want me dead
to get to her.
Baby, stay down!
Ella, come on.
Come on.
He's moving. Hallway.
Damn it!
Come on.
Back, back,
back the other way. Go!
Wait, wait. Get behind me.
Come on.
Ella, honey...
let's go.
Why do they want her?
It's a cult.
No one gets out.
Ever.
You gotta help me
get Ella outta here.
She deserves
a better life than this.
I can't.
That's not why I'm here.
You're Kikimora.
Isn't that what you do?
Help me protect her.
I'll tell you
where to find them.
Please?
Daddy...
are we going to die?
No.
No, baby.
No, not today.
You can trust her.
-Hi.
-Huh?
It's okay.
- Hey.
- How many left?
Two. Maybe ten.
Oh, fuck it.
Daddy!
Yes?
We have the girl.
Good.
Sir, there was
someone else there.
Who?
A woman.
For the contract?
I don't think so.
I think she might
have been after Ella.
Really?
Do we, uh...
Do we know who she is?
Not yet.
I left her
for Continental security.
They started this.
That's bullshit.
I did not break any rules.
-You broke my fuckin' jaw.
-You're still using it.
I didn't kill anyone.
You're going to need
to check out.
Understood.
And what will it be today,
madam?
I'd like to go hunting.
Have you ever done business
with these people?
I have not.
But you know of them.
You know more than me,
I assure you.
May I be "frank"?
Mmm-hmm.
I prefer to keep it that way.
Hmm.
Are we just
window shopping today,
or would you like
to make a purchase?
Depends on the merchandise.
After you, madam.
Pardon me.
So...
will this be a large
or small game hunt?
Large.
The V Seven Harbinger TTI.
Thirty rounds of .308.
It's got a Trijicon AccuPoint
1-to-6 optical on top,
and in case you wanna get
up close and make it personal,
you've got a side RMR
for the faster, dirtier stuff.
TTI custom Benelli
M2 21-inch fin grip.
Oversized charging handle,
oversized bolt release.
This will take
a bear's head off.
Easily.
Oh, this is
a personal favorite of mine.
This...
Ah! Fuck!
Bastards! Fuck!
Motherfuckers.
All right...
you didn't hear this from me.
Their precise location
has never been confirmed,
since anyone
who's ever gone looking
has also gone missing.
That's bad math.
However,
whispers suggest
they've been known to gather
somewhere in these peaks,
deep in the mountains
past Abersee and Feldkirk.
It's not much.
It's more than I had.
Thank you.
Sorry about your shop.
I need a car.
Did you think
I would not find out?
That you expressly
disobeyed my orders?
Then tell me who they are.
I told you,
we do not engage with them.
You risk the destruction
of our family, and for what?
Your own selfish reasons.
Return at once
or I will have no choice.
Can I get you anything?
Just a coffee.
Come, let's go.
It's Agnetha!
Send somebody
to the restaurant!
Hurry!
Go around the back.
Don't let her escape!
I'm not gonna hurt you.
The fuck?
Chancellor, this is The Eye.
What is it?
The outsider
has not been contained.
Engage full protocols.
Find her!
Ah.
You're having
a little tea party.
Aren't you going to say hello
to your grandfather?
Where is Daddy?
Is he okay?
You have no idea, Ella,
how worried I was.
All of us.
Your father...
well, he broke our customs.
He was trying
to take you away.
Away from me.
Away from your family.
I hate you.
That hate will make
you strong, Ella.
I hate you.
Chancellor.
We got her.
Is she dead?
She's Ruska Roma.
She has their mark.
You know,
I met your Director once.
It was many years ago
in Moscow.
Not a very pleasant lady.
But we did have a respectful
conversation, nonetheless.
A shared understanding of
the roles that we both play...
and, more importantly,
the roles that we don't play.
The Director
didn't send me here.
The Ruska Roma
has nothing to do with this.
Well, it does now.
Why are you here?
If you've come for the girl,
you are gravely mistaken.
Ella is my granddaughter.
Someday,
all of this will be hers.
My son,
well...
he tried to deprive her
of her true heritage.
You put a contract
on your own son?
You may have noticed
we don't take well
to outsiders
meddling in our town.
This is where people
like yourself come to live,
to have real lives.
To raise families.
Would you not like to someday
have a family of your own?
I had a family!
I was a child.
Men came into my house.
Men from your tribe.
Ah.
I see.
This is about vengeance.
They killed my father
and tried to take me.
Tried to take you?
Fate is a very humbling thing.
What is it?
Well, she...
she wasn't working for Pine.
She's here because
I killed her father
when she was a child.
She's your sister.
No.
For God's sake!
What are you doing?
Lena!
All this time,
I thought you were dead.
What are you talkin' about?
You don't remember me, do you?
You were born here, Eve.
We both were.
My little sister
has come home.
When I was younger,
I used to wonder...
"Why did he take you
and not me?"
I mean, later I realized
it was too late for me.
I'd already taken a life.
But you...
He thought
he could raise you
with no memory of this place,
of your true home.
But I guess it never
leaves your blood, does it?
In the end,
we are who we are.
We are not the same.
Your people...
killed my father.
Our father. Yes.
For betraying us.
And then our mother
had to pay the price.
The Chancellor was trying
to save you that night.
He was trying
to bring you back home,
as he would with anyone.
My father was trying
to give me a normal life!
Well, he would be very proud.
You're forcing children
into this life!
As Ruska Roma has with you.
No!
She gave me a choice!
I chose this!
Oh, did you?
Or did fate just find
another path for you?
At least here we're honest
about who we are.
No Kikimora lies.
We've got eyes on her.
Cabin 83.
She's inside
with Lena, sir, talking.
Take them out.
Sir?
Kill them both.
You heard The Chancellor.
Blow it.
I was only nine when they
told us you were dead.
Save your breath.
I missed you.
Everyone, move in.
Check for survivors.
Strike team...
Strike team, do you copy?
Is it done?
This isn't done
until you're dead.
Yes?
We have a problem, you and I.
And what problem
might that be?
That a member of your tribe
has contravened
a centuries old truce.
The Ruska Roma
have no desire for a war.
Especially not with you.
Whether you sent her or not
is of no interest to me.
You will accept
full consequences
of her actions.
Which are?
The end of your tribe.
Your students,
your fucking pets, everything.
Call her off.
Chancellor, she's operating
against Ruska Roma.
I could not call her off
if I tried.
Then war it shall be.
Perhaps an agreement
could be struck.
I can send someone
to solve the problem.
Someone capable.
No more bloodshed.
If you agree to this,
you must also agree
that your men will not engage.
If come midnight
she still breathes,
retaliation will be
inevitable and total.
And if the problem
is taken care of?
Then I will reconsider
my response.
Very well.
I will, of course,
need your location.
A secret I assure
you will die with me.
Madam, she is family.
She has made her choice.
The Baba Yaga.
Citizens of Hallstatt...
this order stays in effect
until the bells ring out.
As of now, you do not engage.
Anyone who feels compelled
to go against this order
will be cast out.
Leave the wolf to its prey.
She sent you here to kill me?
That's up to you.
Or you can leave.
Your choice.
Do you remember me?
From the theater?
Remember what you said to me?
You told me I could leave,
that it was my choice.
It still is.
I'm not leaving.
You don't have to do this.
Just leave.
Leave.
Just... go.
He killed my father.
I know.
Let me finish this.
Midnight.
If it isn't done...
Rules.
And consequences.
Sir, he's let her go
and she's on the attack.
I recommend
we re-engage full protocols.
Attention.
Every citizen is now being
called to hunt the outsider.
Let's go.
Let's move it, move it!
Check the boathouse.
You see anything?
She's here!
Hurry up! With me.
Be on alert.
Make sure everything is clear.
Cool.
Attention.
The outsider
has entered the armory.
All teams proceed
to the armory.
She wants me...
and she wants Ella.
Orders?
You find her...
and you destroy her.
Come on.
Keep your eyes open.
Two men down
at the armory entrance.
I repeat, two men down
at the armory entrance.
Hold there. Hold.
Go! Go!
Requesting all citizens
to the tunnels immediately.
All citizens proceed
to the tunnels.
Move in. I got your six.
Oh, shit.
Over there!
Go, go!
She's there!
We have
lost sight of the outsider.
All teams be on alert.
Continue to patrol
the perimeter.
We're on the square.
Eye, report back. Report back.
We're on the square.
Alpha Team,
halt!
She has exited the tunnels.
Check behind you.
Sir.
In the interest
of Hallstatt's survival,
it would be best
to relocate you.
In 200 years,
no leader of Hallstatt
has ever left
the seat of power
to seek shelter.
I understand.
But, sir, we've also
lost track of John Wick.
Let go!
Let go of me.
Attention.
Requesting all citizens...
This is suicide.
It's fucking John Wick.
Come on. He's only one man.
Cut across here.
Don't you think
we've had enough?
Do you really think you're
going to save her from me?
From...
From all of this?
Whatever happens here...
nothing is going to change.
The village will remain,
the children will be raised,
and the system
will continue as it has
for the last thousand years.
Look at you.
You know that you don't choose
to be a killer,
you are chosen.
Just like your sister
was chosen.
Just like Ella
has been chosen.
It is your fate
and you cannot change it.
The only person
you're fighting is yourself...
It's okay.
Let's go.
Hmm?
Jardani?
So, she is dead?
He is dead.
Fine.
Daddy?
Hey, sweetie.
Come here.
Get up here.
Room 814.
I trust the talk went well?
Checking in, hmm?
Yes.
Safe haven, Miss MaCarro.
You may have cut
the snake's head,
but the body still lives.
They'll be looking for you.
Contract services.
How may I help you?
Name on the account?
Processing.
One step closer
and you're all mine
You leave me no choice
Burned into mind
I'm going in for the kill
There is no other way out
If you need to baby
Cry, cry about it
Why don't you cry?
Time to pay
for what you started
Who's sorry now?
Tell your lies
Yeah, you can run your mouth
But can you fight
like a girl?
Fight like a girl
And take this world
Tonight, you're the victim
Of your own crime
You made your choice
You'll swallow your fate
Stone cold
Feed the snakes
Hold that fire
Say my name
Baby, you can cry
Cry, cry about it
Why don't you cry?
Time to pay
for what you started
Who's sorry now?
Tell your lies
Yeah, you can
run your mouth
But can you fight
like a girl?
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl
Sinner and savior
I've been walking the line
Killers collide
The feeling
an adrenaline high
Violent behavior
in my blood
No one but myself to trust
Vengeance well
that shit's a hell of a drug
Break the cycle
I don't wanna
Break your spinal
yeah I'm gonna
My finger on the trigger
I've been feeding the pain
You'll never
fight like a girl
So I keep winning the game
I wanna see you cry
Cry, cry about it
Why don't you cry?
Time to pay
for what you started
Who's sorry now?
Tell your lies
Yeah, you can
run your mouth
But can you fight
like a girl?
Sinner and savior
I've been walking the line
Devil disguised
I see it
when I look in your eyes
Yeah, you can
run your mouth
But can you fight
like a girl?
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl
Fight like a girl
I know I should
have the pride
I know I should
have the spirit
I know you would
tell a lie
If you knew
I couldn't hear it
You'd say it
oh, so proudly
But do you know
your crimes?
And do you think about me?
And were you ever mine?
You say I mean
the world to you
To keep me on my knees
Then dig the knife
in deeper
Just to watch
how much I bleed
I'm stripped to the bone
I don't want to be alone
No matter how I plead
You do it
'cause you know you can
Turn around and bite
the hand that feeds
Every promise
that you break
Every time you try to place
the blame on me
I don't want
to control the pain
Turn it into
the fire I need
The feeling
rushes through me
Can you still hear me cry?
But after all I'm standing
On my own this time
You say I mean
the world to you
To keep me on my knees
Keep me on my knees
Then dig
the knife in deeper
Just to watch
how much I bleed
I'm stripped to the bone
I don't want to be alone
No matter how I plead
You do it
'cause you know you can
Turn around and bite
the hand that feeds
I played your twisted game
Played your twisted game
Now watch me walk
through the flames
Choking on the taste
of your mistakes
And now you're the one
on your knees
That's why you
bite the hand that feeds
