BOWERY KING: "I am the way
into the city of woe.
"I am the way into eternal pain.
(YELLING) "I am the way
to go among the lost.
"Before me, there were
no created things.
"But those that last forever.
"As do I!
"Abandon all hope
you who are about to
enter here."
You are now in the presence
of the motherfuckin' king!
(LAUGHING)
You ready, John?
Yeah.
(SNICKERS)

Mr. Wick.
To what do I
owe the pleasure?
My ring.
My freedom.
Your ring is gone,
like The Elder
before me.
And if you
came here thinking
you could end this
by killing me,
then you
are mistaken.
My death will not
change the outcome
any more than you can
change your nature.
None of us
can escape who we are,
and no one
escapes The Table.
And the only way John Wick
will ever have freedom
or peace, now or ever,
is in death.
I know.
I'm afraid you've come
a very long way
for nothing.
Yeah...
Not really.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
(SIREN WAILING)
(CAR ENGINE STOPS)
The Manager, please.
A Harbinger is here
to see you, sir.
WINSTON: This must
be a mistake.
HARBINGER:
There is no mistake.
By order
of the Marquis,
Vincent Bisset
de Gramont,
this hotel
has been condemned.
(BRIEFCASE CLICKS)
(THUDS)
You have one hour.
(CLOSES BRIEFCASE)
He is
expecting you.
Can they do this, sir?
The decree is signed
by the 12 members of The Table,
giving the Marquis
the power of autem imperator,
which means he is
now our judge, jury and...
(KNOCKS THE TABLE)
Evacuate the hotel.
WINSTON: Ned Kelly's final words
as the hangman slipped
the noose
around his neck were...
"Such is life."
"Such is life."
Can you imagine
the acceptance,
the defiance?
Today is not the day
you will die.
Of that,
I am sure.
You have
the unshakeable faith
of David, my friend,
but you shouldn't be here.
This will not be pleasant.
Such is life, sir.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
MARQUIS: (IN FRENCH ACCENT)
My father used to say,
"How you do anything
"is how you do everything."
Called it the first
and the last rule of life.
(SAND FALLING)
You believe in rules...
Mr. Manager?
Oh, I do.
MARQUIS: And what
of consequences?
Of course.
And second chances.
Ah. That's where we differ,
you and I.
(SAND FALLING)
Second chances
are the refuge of men who fail.
(STIRRING AUDIBLY)
(CLINKING)
Mm. (SMACKS LIPS)
There are those on The Table
who blame this, um,
atrocity on New York.
They believe
it's this city.
The Table has indulged this
fucking place for too long.
And look where
that has gotten us.
I shot him.
(CHUCKLING) And yet he lives,
polluting everything he touches.
Marquis,
respectfully,
my hotel...
MARQUIS: Your hotel?
If I might, sir?
By all means.
The Continentals
and their management
are a reminder
to all who sit
beneath The Table
that none of us
are above the rules.
And yet we are here.
Sir, Mr. Wick...
We're not here
because of John Wick!
He is simply the face
of your failure, Mr. Manager.
The sand in that glass
is merely an echo
of my remaining patience.
(SAND WHISTLING)
(MUFFLED EXPLOSION)
You are no longer New York.
(KNUCKLES CRACKING)
You are nothing.
You are Excommunicado.
And as such...
you no longer need
the services
of a concierge.
(GASPING)
It has been an honor,
my friend.
(BREATHING SLOWLY)
(BREATHING CEASES)
It should have been me.
MARQUIS: Yes.
But it wasn't.
Now, you think about
why that is,
and perhaps one of us
will have benefited
from this conversation.
(IN FRENCH)
(PIANO TUNE PLAYING)
(PIANO TUNE PLAYING ON WATCH)

(WHISTLES)
(MARQUIS TUT-TUTS)
I have a name for you.
(CHUCKLES) Respectfully,
I'm retired.
Finished. Done.
MARQUIS: I disagree.
CAINE: I'm no use to you.
Or The Table.
(CHUCKLING) That's not
for you to decide.
(CHUCKLES)
(SNIFFLES)
I think you should
find someone else.
You came close.
Today.
Too close.
You put her in danger.
(SIGHS)
(TAPS CANE)
I know the deal I made.
A former associate, I believe.
He was.
And a friend.
Hmm.
The agreement
with The Table
stays the same.
We give you a name,
you give us a life.
Or...
we take one.
(SNIFFS)
I will serve.
I will be
of service.
(TAPS CANE)
Excellent!
I assume you
have a notion of
where he might be?
John Wick has
few friends remaining
in the world,
and even fewer he trusts
with his life.
MARQUIS: Very, very good.
(UPBEAT ELECTRONIC

(PEOPLE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
Welcome to
the Osaka Continental.
How can I help?
Yeah, I'm lookin'
for a room.
I'm afraid this facility
doesn't allow animals.
Emotional support animal.
She's your
support animal?
Other way round.
I'm hers.
Isn't that right?
She stays in your room.
Enjoy
your stay, sir.
It's not too bad.
Not bad at all.
(MUSIC PLAYING ON RECORD)
There is a dog
in my lobby.
(SIGHS)
Emotional
support animal.
Of course it is.
Tomorrow's schedule.
Mr. Suzuki at 11:00
and the Tarasovs
are requesting
an audience at 2:00.
What's this at 8:00?
Dinner with
your daughter.
She says
she's concerned
you've been
working too hard.
What must I have done
to deserve
such a considerate child?
Good karma,
I suppose.
Indeed.
And how are our guests?
(SIGHS) Some of
our gold club members
are anxious.
It's always something.
And today
it's New York.
And my concierge?
Concerned.
Perhaps we should
get you an emotional
support animal.
(DRUMS BEATING)
(CONCIERGE SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)
MAN: We've done nothing
to offend The Table.
Your relationship with Mr. Wick
is no secret.
The Table will come.
(ARROW WHIZZES BY)
(ARCHER APOLOGIZES
IN JAPANESE)
MAN: And...
...will be met
with our grace.
Everything he touches dies.
(IN JAPANESE)
Forgive me, Father.
Akira.
Please tell my daughter
that I look forward
to our dinner.
(ELECTRONIC RAP MUSIC PLAYING)
(FIRE ROARING)
(GLASSES CLINKING)
(IN JAPANESE)
Apparently not.
Killing the Elder
was a mistake, my friend.
Their response
was the destruction of
the New York Continental.
My daughter fears
we are next.
Winston?
Alive, but they executed
his concierge
to prove a point.
Have you given
any thought to
where this ends?
The Table
will never stop.
You know this.
It only takes life
and only gives death.
Koji...
(IN JAPANESE)
Friendship means little
when it's convenient.
(WOMAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY
IN JAPANESE)
Welcome to
the Osaka Continental.
How can I help?
The manager.
Por favor.
Of course.
Please, make
yourself comfortable.
(WHISPERS IN JAPANESE)
The only path
this leads to is death.
I'm going
to kill them all.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
I believe you'll try.
But no one,
not even you,
can kill everyone.
You want to die?
That's your choice.
A good death
only comes after a good life.
You and I left
a good life behind
a long time ago, my friend.
Father, The High Table.
What is he doing here?
Mr. Wick
is our guest.
Father...
I'll talk to them.
They don't know
you're here.
(IN JAPANESE)
Stay with Mr. Wick.
(IN JAPANESE)
HENCHMEN: Hai.
(WOMAN ANNOUNCING
IN JAPANESE OVER PA)
to the Osaka Continental,
gentlemen.
How may I be
of service?
The Table has
reason to believe
that this facility
is providing services...
(IN LATIN)
That is
a grave accusation.
We will require
full access
to your hotel.
Of course.
But as you
are well aware,
no business,
not even your kind
of business,
may be conducted
on Continental grounds.
So, I'm going
to have to ask you
to surrender your firearms.
We speak for the Marquis.
And I speak
for Osaka.
Your guns,
please.
Don't repeat the mistake
that fool in New York made.
Fools talk,
cowards are silent,
but wise men listen.
CAINE: So which one
will you be?
Hello, old friend.
(SIGHS)
So good of you to visit
after all these years.
You are
with them now?
No.
No.
Your daughter?
Mia?
Alive.
And your daughter Akira?
Well.
I'm glad.
You know...
we don't have
to end this with blood.
Then leave.
No one defies The Table.
I remember once
you understood that.
And I remember a time
when you understood
the meaning of brotherhood.
Enough!
By order of
the Marquis de Gramont,
this hotel has
been deconsecrated.
Step aside.
(SNAPS)
(LIGHTS SHUT DOWN)
Don't do this, Koji.
I'm sorry.

(ANNOUNCEMENT OVER PA)
Goodbye, Mr. Wick.
(BELL DINGS)
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Thanks for coming.
Well, us homeless folk
do have to
stick together now,
don't we?
I need to speak
to him.
Last time
you spoke to him,
you shot him
off a roof.
I had no choice.
They held
all the cards.
No.
But who held the gun?
John needs to know
the breadth of what's
coming at him.
This Marquis
is unrestrained.
The Table have
let him off the leash.
Oh, my dear Winston,
your benevolence
is touching!
But tell me.
Tell me true.
Why did the Frenchman
let you live?
Killing a man
can turn him
into a martyr.
Letting him live...
tells the world
he's a coward
or a turncoat.
So what are you?
Aggrieved.
(OPERATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(HORSES NEIGHING)
(SWORDS CLASHING)
I fail to see
how laying waste
to Continentals
is getting you closer
to killing John Wick.
MARQUIS: This campaign
is not to kill John Wick.
It is to kill
the idea
of John Wick.
And to do that,
I must
destroy everything
that idea touches.
(SWORDS CLASHING)
The bloodshed
in Osaka
was not necessary.
The bloodshed
was the point.
He'll make it
your choice.
You, come with me.
Think twice
before accepting.
(HORSE WHINNIES)
And you are?
TRACKER: Nobody.
Coyness, Mr. Nobody,
is a pathetic trait.
A miscalculation,
in which by trying
to hide our ego,
we let it appear
stark naked.
I will ask
only once.
How were you able
to locate him?
Pay
and I'll tell you.
How much would
such a service
be worth?
Twenty-five
million,
plus a matching
contribution
to my 401k
when he's dead.
Hmm.
We found him once.
We'll find him again.
Is that before
or after he puts you
in the ground?
I like you.
Twenty million.
Like me some more.
Twenty-three.
Ego, Mr. Nobody.
Mm.
It's 23.
You clearly
can afford it.
For the service.
Mm-hmm.
(SCREAMS)
(DOG BARKS)

(CONTINUES BARKING)
No, no, no.

What the fuck
is this, man?
A choice.
You can pull
the knife out
or you can pull
your hand out.
One shows me
a man committed
only to himself,
and the other,
a man committed
to the cause.
Which one are you?

Winston.
Jonathan.
My condolences.
He was a good man.
Yes, he was.
Taken for our sins.
Who is this?
The Marquis de Gramont.
Elevated only by
his guarantee
of killing you.
All the resources
of The Table
are at his disposal.
Where do I find him?
Paris.
Where will it end?
Huh?
With him dead.
Oh. And then?
Hmm?
Have you
learned nothing?
They will replace him
before the body's cold.
Hercules had his Hydra.
You have The Table,
except you'll
run out of bullets
before they
run out of heads.
Kill him, but do it
the smart way.
And get him to give you
your freedom.
How?
Turn his rules
and consequences
against him.
Challenge him
to single combat.
High Table duels are a myth.
Wrong!
They're a cold
hard fact,
and part of the foundation
of The Table
to stop its more
combustible members
from outright war.
It's also,
win or lose,
what you say you want,
a way out.
I don't sit at The Table.
Your family does.
Get them to issue
the challenge
and then offer you up
as proxy.
I don't have a family.
The Ruska Roma
tore my ticket.
Then I suggest
you get your ass
to Berlin
and get it mended.
Or...
pick a plot.
What do you get
out of this, Winston?
What you were so good
at getting, Jonathan.
Revenge.

MARQUIS: Speak.
He's in Berlin,
at the Ruska Roma.
You can wire
that finder's fee now.
No.
Excuse me?
Kill John and you'll
get your money.
That wasn't part of our deal.
The deal was
for your service.
And it's now
a life for a life,
Mr. Nobody.
Yours or his.
When it's done,
you will have your prize.
And your pension.
(SIGHS)
Asshole.
(IN RUSSIAN)
(JOHN GROANS)
Jonathan Wick?
(GROANS)
(ROPE STRETCHING)
You are forgetting
we are still
under The Table.
And last I checked...
(CRANKING)
...you are Excommunicado
and your ticket
was torn.
You have no business
with us.
(IN RUSSIAN)
After you
put a bullet
in The Elder's head,
the Marquis had one
put in Pyotr's.
And in fine
Russian tradition...
(CHUCKLES)
He sent us the bill.
Because of you,
I had to kneel
in front of the man
who murdered my father.
Then we have
a common enemy.
We can help each other.
(CHUCKLES)
You can't even
help yourself.
How the hell
are you going
to help us?
By killing this Marquis.
They just
appoint another.
(IN RUSSIAN)
(CHOKES) It does
if I kill him in a duel!
(JOHN CHOKING)
(IN RUSSIAN)
How many did you kill
to get out?
(STRAINING) A lot.
You will only have
to kill one
to get back in.
The bastard who
murdered my father.
Give me the name.
Killa Harkan.
You will find him
at Himmel and Hlle.
When he's dead,
I will mend your ticket.
And the Crest?
(TUT-TUTS)
Harkan first, then we talk.
Bring proof of death.
(GRUNTS)
I'll need a way in.
KATIA: I know a way.
(CHUCKLES)
Klaus will take you.
I am Klaus.
(GRUNTS)
John.
I am Klaus.
(UPBEAT ELECTRONIC

that I am honored
by this gesture
and I look forward to
our continuing partnership.

You were

Not me.
Him.
CAINE: John?
(TAPPING CANE)
How are you?
You knew I'd be here.
I suspected it.
Family.
KILLA: That family
sold you out, Mr. Wick.
They gave you up
in the vain hope
of saving themselves.
You see, that's why
I never trust the Cossacks.
They are dirty people.
(SNICKERS)
This is personal.
I sense tension here.
Mr. Wick may
probably feel
I'm responsible
for the death of a...
mutual friend.
But I didn't kill Koji.
You did, John.
KILLA: You know,
this discord
between old friends,
it saddens me.
Allow me to help.
Nein.
We have a deal.
Had.
The Marquis.
Hell, I doubt he'll
mind if it's bullets,
blades or a blind man.
(THUD)
(CHUCKLES LIGHTLY)
(INHALES SHARPLY)
(IN GERMAN)
Is this
for me, Mr...
Nobody.
And, no, it's actually
for him.
(KILLA LAUGHS)

a seat,
Mr. Nobody.
(LAUGHS)
Exciting, ja? (LAUGHS)
(KILLA CONTINUES LAUGHING)
(KILLA COUGHING)
(GROWLING)
So, you want to kill him.
You want to kill him.
I want to kill him.
What about
you, Mr. Wick?
I'm going to kill you.
(KILLA CHUCKLING) Oh.
For Pyotr. Of course, ja.
But it looks like
we have ourselves, uh,
a genuine conundrum. (CHUCKLES)
A quandary, if you will.
A real-life dilemma.
(CHUCKLES)
(KILLA CONTINUES) So...
How about we play a game?
One hand.
The winner decides who lives...
and who does not.
(KILLA CHUCKLING)
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
All right.
What's the buy-in?
More than you can afford.
(SCOFFS) Yeah,
I'm one bullet away
from being a very rich man.
Or a dead one.
Five-card draw.
Mr. Wick.
KILLA: Mr. Wick?
Dead man's hand, Mr. Wick.
Well...
I don't gamble.
Let's see.
Four nines. And a four.
Most impressive. (CHUCKLES)
KILLA: Ah. Royal flush.
Pretty good for a nobody.
Thank you.
A blind man,
a guy with a dog
and John Wick walk into a bar
and take a seat at the table.
That either sounds
like the beginning
of a stupendous joke
or a most
profitable opportunity.
(CHUCKLES)
One thinks he can
serve his way out.
One...
thinks he can
buy his way out.
And one...
thinks he can kill
his way out.
Each of them all think
that they have
the winning hand.
But what they fail
to realize
is that the moment they took
a seat at The Table...
they had already lost.
Let me guess.
Five of a kind?
TRACKER AND JOHN: Yeah.

The Ruska Roma
will support
your challenge.
Who will be
your Second?
(EXHALES SOFTLY)
WINSTON: A warning
of the cost of tyranny.
MARQUIS: You must intend
to join your concierge.
WINSTON: Not today.
Per the Old Ways
and the old laws,
John Wick calls you to a duel.
To settle your differences
the old-fashioned way,
as gentlemen should.
You speak of the Old Ways
as if you know them.
A man of Mr. Wick's
station
cannot issue
such a challenge.
He has
his family's crest.
MARQUIS: Hmm.
Berlin.
Ruska Roma challenge,
the acceptance
of Mr. Wick
back into the fold,
it's all there.
Recorded history now.
And why would I
accept this
from a second-rate seat?
Because there
are rules,
and without them...
We live with
the animals.
Exactly.
MARQUIS: Mm.
Times are changing.
A new day is dawning.
New ideas, new rules,
new management.
Yet you will accept.
Because we all still sit
beneath The Table.
Even you are not immune
to the consequences of failure.
And what exactly
are Mr. Wick's terms?
Victoriae fiducia.
The unconditional release
of any and all obligations
to The Table.
Ah, history is littered
with Marquis
who were
only remembered
by their servants.
But you...
you could
be remembered
as the man who brought
John Wick,
the most
feared of all
by The Table
and all who sit at it,
into the light.
Your light.
And who could predict
how high
that kind of glory
could take a man
in our world?
Noon, La Tour Eiffel,
to discuss rules.
You may go.
When I'm done.
As his Second,
upon his victory,
my Excommunicado
is to be lifted,
my title restored,
my hotel rebuilt
and re-consecrated,
all at
The Table's expense.
Of course.
(IN FRENCH)
How you do anything
is how you do everything.
Now I'm done.
I think I'll miss you
when you're gone.
Shame I can't
say the same.
You don't know,
do you?
What's that?
A man's Second,
like his sponsor,
either walks out
with his champion
or is buried beside him.
The Old Ways.
Such is life.
(BELL TOLLING)
HARBINGER: Under the Old Laws,
only one can survive.
Do you both
understand that?
(CONTINUES) Very good.
Rules.
The Challenged
chooses first. Time?
Sunrise.
Now.
HARBINGER: Sunrise.
Location?
You come here
thinking there is
a way out of this world
for you, Mr. Wick?
There is not.
Le Centre Pompidou.
Sacr Coeur.
Sacr Coeur.
Weapons?
If you win,
The Table will
honor its word.
You will have
your freedom.
But you won't take it.
Blades.
Pistols.
HARBINGER: Dueling pistols.
Thirty paces.
In the event that
both parties survive,
each will approach the other
at increments of ten paces
until only one remains.
Rules of engagement.
No quarter.
MARQUIS: You know why
you won't take
your freedom?
Hmm?
Because this
is who you are,
who you've
always been.
You are a killer.
An orphan we plucked
from the street
and honed into a knife.
And it is the killing
that gives you purpose.
A man
without purpose...
is nothing.
No quarter.
HARBINGER: No quarter.
If there is nothing else,
gentlemen,
I will see...
A nomination.
It is his right.
HARBINGER:
Do you have a name?
Caine.
HARBINGER: So be it.
Sunrise, Sacr Coeur.
Dueling pistols,
no quarter.
Should Mr. Wick
be victorious,
he will be free of any
and all obligation
to The High Table,
and his Second
will be reinstated
as the manager
of the rebuilt
New York Continental.
Should the Marquis
Vincent Bisset de Gramont
be victorious...
John Wick will be dead.
As will his Second.
HARBINGER: Just so.
Now, if there is
nothing more, gentlemen,
I will see you
at sunrise.
Failure to meet
at the appointed hour
will result
in forfeiture
and immediate execution.
There is no John
out there.
No happy husband
with a normal life.
There's only John Wick,
the killer.
And he's going to kill you.
(TAPS CANE)
JOHN: Your hotel?
Yes.
You always have
an angle, don't you?
Doesn't everyone?
Let's find safe harbor
before it starts.
There's something
I need to do first.
Sooner rather
than later.
Won't do it.
You fight
your own fight.
Isn't this
what you want?
Hmm?
Victoriae fiducia.
You kill him,
and you and your
daughter will be free.
No one can touch her.
If you don't,
she will have to face
the consequences.
The choice is yours.
Caine.
John.
Saying goodbyes?
Saying hello.
You think your wife
can hear you?
No.
Then why bother?
Maybe I'm wrong.
The dead are gone.
Only the living matter.
After my daughter was born...
I wanted to leave this life.
(TUNE PLAYING ON WATCH)
I thought I did.
But you didn't.
We're damned...
you and I.
On that we agree.
(MUSIC STOPS)
My daughter's not.
If it's between
you and her...
you're going to die.
Maybe not.
I missed you, John.
It's so good
to sit with a friend.
I'll see you
tomorrow.
(WATER SPLASHING)
This is how you
resolve the situation?
Duello with
the Baba Yaga.
Failure will shake
the foundation
of The High Table,
and it will turn Wick
into a saint.
My victory will
do the opposite.
(HARBINGER SCOFFS)
Marquis de Gramont!
A man's ambition
should never exceed his worth.
You would do well
to remember that, sir.
(SENTIMENTAL

(TRAIN APPROACHING)
Bonjour,
Monsieur Wick.
And welcome
to La Resistance.
A little far from home,
aren't you?
Well, your little act
of uncivil disobedience
inspired me, John.
I'm branching out,
spreading my wings.
How goes the Grand
Farewell Tour?
Coming to an end.
So it seems. So it seems.
Forty-two regular,
wasn't it?
It's Kevlar,
front to back.
The latest
in ballistic chic.
Appropriate for
all formal occasions.
Weddings, funerals,
High Table duels.
After all, a man
has to look his best
when it's time
to get married.
Or buried.
Forgive me, sir,
but this is madness.
Madness?
Trusting your fate
to a blind man?
There are three types
of men in this world.
Those who
have something
to live for,
those who
have something
to die for,
and those who
have something
to kill for.
John Wick has
none of these things.
He is but a ghost
in search of a graveyard.
But the blind man,
well, he has all three.
Besides, I have a feeling
Mr. Wick will never make it
to the duel by sunrise.
(IN SPANISH)

It seems there's a thorn
in our little

A wicked man from the Big Apple
is making a beeline
to our sacred heart.
We are putting the call out
to deliver your hardest beats
to this man in black.
If you want the prize,
you must finish before sunrise.
This golden oldie,
and I do mean golden hit,
goes out to you, Mr. Wick.
And remember,
there is nowhere to run.

I'm going to need a gun.
I thought

Nine-millimeter Pit Viper.
How'd you get this?
I know a guy
who knows a guy
who shot a guy.
Twenty-one round
capacity magazine
with a built-in compensator
for virtually no muzzle flip.
Fiber-optic front sight,
ambidextrous safeties,
flared magwell
for faster reloads,
two-pound
extreme trigger,
and for those more,
how shall we say,
intimate encounters,
this Viper has
ferocious fucking fangs.

I was torn about
what to put
on his gravestone.

Long live the king!

Modest.
(LAUGHS) Prophetic.
What did you decide?

That's what he was
above all else.
A friend.

Don't be late for

"John. Loving husband."

"Such is life."

(TAPS CANE)
Excellent!
I assume you
have a notion of
where he might be?
John Wick has
few friends remaining
in the world,
and even fewer he trusts
with his life.

Welcome to
the Osaka Continental.
How can I help?
Yeah, I'm lookin'
for a room.
I'm afraid this facility
doesn't allow animals.
Emotional support animal.
She's your
support animal?
Other way round.
I'm hers.
Isn't that right?
She stays in your room.
Enjoy
your stay, sir.
It's not too bad.
Not bad at all.
(MUSIC PLAYING ON RECORD)
There is a dog
in my lobby.
(SIGHS)
Emotional

Of course it is.
Tomorrow's schedule.
Mr. Suzuki at 11:00
and the Tarasovs
are requesting
an audience at 2:00.
What's this at 8:00?
Dinner with
your daughter.
She says
she's concerned
you've been
working too hard.
What must I have done
to deserve
such a considerate child?
Good karma,
I suppose.
Indeed.
And how are our guests?
(SIGHS) Some of
our gold club members
are anxious.
It's always something.
And today
it's New York.
And my concierge?
Concerned.
Perhaps we should
get you an emotional
support animal.

Killing the Elder
was a mistake, my friend.

was the destruction of

we are next.
Winston?
Alive, but they executed
his concierge
to prove a point.
Have you given
any thought to
where this ends?
The Table
will never stop.
You know this.
It only takes life
and only gives death.

this leads to is death.
I'm going
to kill them all.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
I believe you'll try.
But no one,
not even you,
can kill everyone.
You want to die?
That's your choice.
A good death
only comes after a good life.
You and I left
a good life behind
a long time ago, my friend.
Father, The High Table.
What is he doing here?
Mr. Wick
is our guest.
Father...
I'll talk to them.
They don't know
you're here.
(IN JAPANESE)
Stay with Mr. Wick.
(IN JAPANESE)
HENCHMEN: Hai.
(WOMAN ANNOUNCING

to the Osaka Continental,
gentlemen.
How may I be
of service?
The Table has
reason to believe
that this facility
is providing services...
(IN LATIN)
That is
a grave accusation.
We will require
full access
to your hotel.
Of course.
But as you
are well aware,
no business,
not even your kind
of business,
may be conducted
on Continental grounds.
So, I'm going
to have to ask you
to surrender your firearms.
We speak for the Marquis.
And I speak
for Osaka.
Your guns,
please.
Don't repeat the mistake
that fool in New York made.
Fools talk,
cowards are silent,
but wise men listen.
CAINE: So which one
will you be?
Hello, old friend.
(SIGHS)
So good of you to visit
after all these years.
You are
with them now?
No.
No.
Your daughter?
Mia?
Alive.
And your daughter Akira?
Well.
I'm glad.
You know...
we don't have
to end this with blood.
Then leave.
No one defies The Table.
I remember once
you understood that.
And I remember a time
when you understood
the meaning of brotherhood.
Enough!
By order of
the Marquis de Gramont,
this hotel has
been deconsecrated.

I need to speak

Last time

you shot him
off a roof.
I had no choice.
They held
all the cards.
No.
But who held the gun?
John needs to know
the breadth of what's
coming at him.
This Marquis
is unrestrained.
The Table have
let him off the leash.
Oh, my dear Winston,
your benevolence
is touching!
But tell me.
Tell me true.
Why did the Frenchman
let you live?
Killing a man
can turn him
into a martyr.
Letting him live...
tells the world
he's a coward
or a turncoat.
So what are you?
Aggrieved.

It is to kill
the idea
of John Wick.
And to do that,
I must
destroy everything
that idea touches.
(SWORDS CLASHING)
The bloodshed
in Osaka
was not necessary.
The bloodshed
was the point.
He'll make it
your choice.
You, come with me.
Think twice
before accepting.
(HORSE WHINNIES)
And you are?

Coyness, Mr. Nobody,
is a pathetic trait.
A miscalculation,
in which by trying
to hide our ego,
we let it appear
stark naked.
I will ask
only once.
How were you able
to locate him?
Pay
and I'll tell you.
How much would
such a service
be worth?
Twenty-five
million,
plus a matching
contribution
to my 401k
when he's dead.
Hmm.
We found him once.
We'll find him again.
Is that before
or after he puts you
in the ground?
I like you.
Twenty million.

Winston.
Jonathan.
My condolences.
He was a good man.
Yes, he was.
Taken for our sins.
Who is this?
The Marquis de Gramont.
Elevated only by
his guarantee
of killing you.
All the resources
of The Table
are at his disposal.
Where do I find him?
Paris.
Where will it end?
Huh?
With him dead.
Oh. And then?
Hmm?
Have you
learned nothing?
They will replace him
before the body's cold.
Hercules had his Hydra.
You have The Table,
except you'll
run out of bullets
before they
run out of heads.
Kill him, but do it
the smart way.
And get him to give you
your freedom.
How?
Turn his rules
and consequences
against him.
Challenge him
to single combat.
High Table duels are a myth.
Wrong!
They're a cold
hard fact,
and part of the foundation
of The Table
to stop its more
combustible members
from outright war.
It's also,
win or lose,
what you say you want,
a way out.
I don't sit at The Table.
Your family does.
Get them to issue
the challenge
and then offer you up
as proxy.
I don't have a family.
The Ruska Roma
tore my ticket.
Then I suggest
you get your ass
to Berlin
and get it mended.
Or...
pick a plot.
What do you get
out of this, Winston?
What you were so good
at getting, Jonathan.
Revenge.

The deal was
for your service.
And it's now

you will have your prize.

and your ticket
was torn.
You have no business
with us.
(IN RUSSIAN)
After you
put a bullet
in The Elder's head,
the Marquis had one
put in Pyotr's.
And in fine
Russian tradition...
(CHUCKLES)
He sent us the bill.
Because of you,
I had to kneel
in front of the man
who murdered my father.
Then we have
a common enemy.
We can help each other.
(CHUCKLES)
You can't even
help yourself.
How the hell
are you going

They just
appoint another.

to get out?
(STRAINING) A lot.
You will only have
to kill one
to get back in.
The bastard who
murdered my father.
Give me the name.
Killa Harkan.
You will find him
at Himmel and Hlle.
When he's dead,
I will mend your ticket.
And the Crest?

They gave you up
in the vain hope
of saving themselves.
You see, that's why
I never trust the Cossacks.
They are dirty people.
(SNICKERS)
This is personal.
I sense tension here.
Mr. Wick may
probably feel
I'm responsible
for the death of a...

But I didn't kill Koji.
You did, John.

between old friends,
it saddens me.

you, Mr. Wick?

But it looks like
we have ourselves, uh,
a genuine conundrum. (CHUCKLES)
A quandary, if you will.

(CHUCKLES)
(KILLA CONTINUES) So...
How about we play a game?
One hand.

and who does not.
(KILLA CHUCKLING)

What's the buy-in?
More than you can afford.
(SCOFFS) Yeah,
I'm one bullet away
from being a very rich man.
Or a dead one.
Five-card draw.
Mr. Wick.
KILLA: Mr. Wick?
Dead man's hand, Mr. Wick.
Well...
I don't gamble.
Let's see.
Four nines. And a four.
Most impressive. (CHUCKLES)
KILLA: Ah. Royal flush.
Pretty good for a nobody.
Thank you.
A blind man,
a guy with a dog
and John Wick walk into a bar
and take a seat at the table.
That either sounds
like the beginning
of a stupendous joke
or a most
profitable opportunity.
(CHUCKLES)
One thinks he can
serve his way out.
One...
thinks he can
buy his way out.
And one...
thinks he can kill
his way out.
Each of them all think
that they have
the winning hand.
But what they fail
to realize
is that the moment they took
a seat at The Table...
they had already lost.
Let me guess.
Five of a kind?

Per the Old Ways

John Wick calls you to a duel.
To settle your differences
the old-fashioned way,
as gentlemen should.
You speak of the Old Ways
as if you know them.
A man of Mr. Wick's
station
cannot issue
such a challenge.
He has
his family's crest.
MARQUIS: Hmm.
Berlin.
Ruska Roma challenge,
the acceptance
of Mr. Wick
back into the fold,
it's all there.
Recorded history now.
And why would I
accept this
from a second-rate seat?
Because there
are rules,
and without them...
We live with
the animals.
Exactly.
MARQUIS: Mm.
Times are changing.
A new day is dawning.
New ideas, new rules,
new management.
Yet you will accept.
Because we all still sit
beneath The Table.
Even you are not immune
to the consequences of failure.
And what exactly
are Mr. Wick's terms?
Victoriae fiducia.
The unconditional release
of any and all obligations
to The Table.
Ah, history is littered
with Marquis
who were
only remembered
by their servants.
But you...
you could
be remembered
as the man who brought
John Wick,
the most
feared of all
by The Table
and all who sit at it,
into the light.
Your light.
And who could predict
how high
that kind of glory
could take a man
in our world?
Noon, La Tour Eiffel,
to discuss rules.
You may go.
When I'm done.
As his Second,
upon his victory,
my Excommunicado
is to be lifted,
my title restored,
my hotel rebuilt
and re-consecrated,
all at
The Table's expense.
Of course.
(IN FRENCH)
How you do anything
is how you do everything.
Now I'm done.
I think I'll miss you
when you're gone.
Shame I can't
say the same.
You don't know,
do you?

A man's Second,
like his sponsor,
either walks out
with his champion
or is buried beside him.
The Old Ways.
Such is life.

You come here

Sacr Coeur.
Weapons?
If you win,
The Table will
honor its word.
You will have
your freedom.
But you won't take it.
Blades.
Pistols.
HARBINGER: Dueling pistols.
Thirty paces.
In the event that
both parties survive,
each will approach the other
at increments of ten paces
until only one remains.
Rules of engagement.
No quarter.
MARQUIS: You know why
you won't take
your freedom?
Hmm?
Because this
is who you are,
who you've
always been.
You are a killer.
An orphan we plucked
from the street
and honed into a knife.
And it is the killing
that gives you purpose.
A man
without purpose...
is nothing.
No quarter.
HARBINGER: No quarter.
If there is nothing else,
gentlemen,
I will see...
A nomination.
It is his right.
HARBINGER:
Do you have a name?
Caine.
HARBINGER: So be it.
Sunrise, Sacr Coeur.
Dueling pistols,
no quarter.
Should Mr. Wick
be victorious,
he will be free of any
and all obligation
to The High Table,
and his Second
will be reinstated
as the manager
of the rebuilt
New York Continental.
Should the Marquis
Vincent Bisset de Gramont
be victorious...
John Wick will be dead.
As will his Second.
HARBINGER: Just so.
Now, if there is
nothing more, gentlemen,
I will see you
at sunrise.
Failure to meet
at the appointed hour
will result
in forfeiture
and immediate execution.
There is no John
out there.
No happy husband
with a normal life.
There's only John Wick,
the killer.
And he's going to kill you.
(TAPS CANE)
JOHN: Your hotel?
Yes.
You always have
an angle, don't you?
Doesn't everyone?
Let's find safe harbor
before it starts.
There's something
I need to do first.
Sooner rather
than later.
Won't do it.
You fight
your own fight.
Isn't this
what you want?
Hmm?
Victoriae fiducia.
You kill him,
and you and your
daughter will be free.
No one can touch her.
If you don't,
she will have to face
the consequences.
The choice is yours.
Caine.
John.
Saying goodbyes?
Saying hello.
You think your wife
can hear you?
No.
Then why bother?
Maybe I'm wrong.
The dead are gone.
Only the living matter.
After my daughter was born...
I wanted to leave this life.
(TUNE PLAYING ON WATCH)
I thought I did.
But you didn't.
We're damned...
you and I.
On that we agree.
(MUSIC STOPS)
My daughter's not.
If it's between
you and her...
you're going to die.
Maybe not.
I missed you, John.
It's so good
to sit with a friend.
I'll see you
tomorrow.
(WATER SPLASHING)
This is how you
resolve the situation?
Duello with
the Baba Yaga.
Failure will shake
the foundation
of The High Table,
and it will turn Wick
into a saint.
My victory will
do the opposite.
(HARBINGER SCOFFS)
Marquis de Gramont!
A man's ambition
should never exceed his worth.

to remember that, sir.

(TRAIN APPROACHING)
Bonjour,
Monsieur Wick.
And welcome
to La Resistance.
A little far from home,
aren't you?
Well, your little act
of uncivil disobedience
inspired me, John.
I'm branching out,
spreading my wings.
How goes the Grand
Farewell Tour?
Coming to an end.
So it seems. So it seems.
Forty-two regular,
wasn't it?
It's Kevlar,
front to back.
The latest
in ballistic chic.
Appropriate for
all formal occasions.
Weddings, funerals,
High Table duels.
After all, a man
has to look his best
when it's time
to get married.
Or buried.
Forgive me, sir,
but this is madness.
Madness?
Trusting your fate
to a blind man?
There are three types
of men in this world.
Those who
have something
to live for,
those who
have something
to die for,
and those who
have something
to kill for.
John Wick has
none of these things.
He is but a ghost
in search of a graveyard.
But the blind man,
well, he has all three.
Besides, I have a feeling
Mr. Wick will never make it
to the duel by sunrise.
(IN SPANISH)
(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
All right, now.
For all you boppers out there
in the City of Lights,
for all you street people
with an ear for the action,
to all my loyal listeners
who know the beat
of the street...
(TURNS UP RADIO)
...tonight is your chance
to make some beautiful music.
I've been asked
to relay a special request
from a secret admirer.
It seems there's a thorn
in our little
slice of paradise.
A wicked man from the Big Apple
is making a beeline
to our sacred heart.
We are putting the call out
to deliver your hardest beats
to this man in black.
If you want the prize,
you must finish before sunrise.
This golden oldie,
and I do mean golden hit,
goes out to you, Mr. Wick.
And remember,
there is nowhere to run.

(POP SONG CONTINUES

And so it begins.
I'm going to need a gun.
I thought
you'd never ask.
Nine-millimeter Pit Viper.
How'd you get this?
I know a guy
who knows a guy
who shot a guy.
Twenty-one round
capacity magazine
with a built-in compensator
for virtually no muzzle flip.
Fiber-optic front sight,
ambidextrous safeties,
flared magwell
for faster reloads,
two-pound
extreme trigger,
and for those more,
how shall we say,
intimate encounters,
this Viper has
ferocious fucking fangs.
(GUN CLICKS)
How close can you
get me to the church?
Amen.
Here we are,
gentlemen. (EXHALES)

WINSTON: When I advised you
not to dip
your pinky
back into this pond,
I didn't think
I'd get wet.
It'll all be over
after today.
When I was
burying Charon,
I was torn about
what to put
on his gravestone.
A few words
to sum up
an entire life?
Long live the king!
Had mine made
years ago.
Modest.
(LAUGHS) Prophetic.
What did you decide?
Friend.
That's what he was
above all else.
A friend.
Au revoir
et bonne chasse,
Monsieur Wick.
Thank you, King.
Jonathan.
Winston.
WINSTON:
Sunrise is at 6:03.
Don't be late for
all our sakes, hmm?
"Loving husband."
Hmm?
That's what I want on mine.
"John. Loving husband."
(PHONE RINGING)
(MAN ON PHONE

DJ: Good news, boppers.
We have a sighting.
Our man in black
has been spotted
in the Septime Arrondissement.
I think it's high time
we paint him red.

I'll see you in hell
On the other, other side
I'll try to burn for you
