Full transcript

1. 0:00John Wick is making his way through Manhattan  before he is labeled "excommunicado" for the
2. 0:05unauthorized killing of High Table crime lord  Santino D'Antonio on the 42nd floor of New York’s
3. 0:11Continental Hotel, which is considered neutral  ground. He sends his dog to safety with the
4. 0:17concierge, Charon, at the very same hotel. At the  New York Public Library, John retrieves a marker
5. 0:23medallion and a rosary. He is injured in a fight  with another hitman, and seeks medical treatment
6. 0:29from an underworld doctor, but his excommunicado  status activates before the doctor can finish,
7. 0:34forcing John to complete the suturing himself.  Upon leaving, he is quickly pursued by various
8. 0:39gangs of assassins, all of whom he kills. John meets with the "Director", the head
9. 0:44of the Ruska Roma crime syndicate, where he  presents the rosary and demands safe passage
10. 0:50to Casablanca. As John was once one of them,  the Director reluctantly helps. Meanwhile,
11. 0:55a High Table Adjudicator meets with New York  Continental manager Winston and the Bowery King,
12. 1:01notifying them that they both have seven days to  resign from their positions for helping John and
13. 1:06indirectly going against the rules of the Table.  The Adjudicator enlists Zero, a Japanese assassin,
14. 1:12and orders him to stab the Director through  both of her hands as penance for aiding
15. 1:17John. In Casablanca, John meets Sofia, a former  friend and manager of the Moroccan Continental.
16. 1:24John presents the marker medallion, which binds  Sofia to return a favor from the past, and demands
17. 1:30to be directed to the "Elder" – the only person  above the High Table. Sofia begrudgingly takes
18. 1:36John to Berrada, her former boss, who tells John  he may find the Elder by wandering through the
19. 1:41desert until he can no longer walk. In exchange,  Berrada asks for one of Sofia's dogs. When she
20. 1:47refuses he shoots the dog, which survives due to  its bulletproof vest. Sofia wants to kill Berrada,
21. 1:54but only wounds him at John's warning. They fight  their way out of the kasbah and drive into the
22. 1:59desert, where she leaves John. Seven days later,  the Adjudicator and Zero confront the Bowery King,
23. 2:05who refuses to abdicate his position.  In response, Zero's students slaughter
24. 2:10his men while the King is slashed seven times  with a Japanese sword as penance. Meanwhile,
25. 2:15John collapses in the desert and is brought  to the Elder, who asks why he is there;
26. 2:20John states that he wants to live to keep the  memory of the love he once had with his late wife.
27. 2:26The Elder agrees to forgive John's transgressions  if he kills Winston and remains subservient to the
28. 2:32High Table for the remainder of his life. As a  pledge to the Elder, John severs his ring finger
29. 2:38and gives his wedding ring to the Elder. John returns to New York and is attacked
30. 2:42by Zero and his students before reaching  the protection of the Continental. There,
31. 2:46in the safety of the hotel, Zero admits to  being a fan of John. The Adjudicator arrives,
32. 2:52but Winston refuses to abdicate, and John refuses  to kill him, leading the Adjudicator to revoke the
33. 2:58Continental's neutral status and send both Zero  and an army of heavily armed High Table enforcers
34. 3:04to kill John and Winston. Winston provides John  with weapons and the assistance of Charon and
35. 3:10his staff. After killing all the enforcers,  John is ambushed by Zero and his students,
36. 3:15and John proceeds to kill all but two of Zero’s  students. Zero battles John but is eventually
37. 3:21defeated and left to die. On the roof of the  Continental, the Adjudicator agrees to a parley
38. 3:26with Winston, who offers fealty to the High Table. John arrives. Winston shoots him without killing
39. 3:32him, and John falls off the roof to the street  below. Winston reassumes his managerial position.
40. 3:37The severely injured John is secretly collected  and delivered to the heavily wounded Bowery King
41. 3:43in an underground bunker; the two agree  to join forces against the High Table.
