viggo: john isa man of focus, commitment, sheer will. something you knowvery little about. i once saw him killthree men in a bar. with a pencil. with a fuckin'... ...pencil. then suddenly one dayhe asked to leave.
it's over a woman,of course. so i made a deal with him. i gave himan impossible task. a job no onecould have pulled off. the bodieshe buried that day laid the foundationof what we are now. and then, my son, a few daysafter his wife died, you steal his car
and kill his fuckin' dog. father, i canmake this right. oh... how do you plan that? by finishingwhat i started. what the... did he heara fucking word i said? iosef! iosef! listen! huh? (exhales) john will come for you.

no, i've got that covered. (gasps) hey, john. perkins? i thoughti'd let myself in. i noticed. i never knew ms. perkinsto get out of bedfor less than three. viggo's giving me fourto break hotel rules. that's unwise,i assure you.
you were always a pussy. (ringing continues) yes? charon: i apologize for calling you at this hour, but we have receiveda number of grievances from your floorconcerning the noise. john: my apologies. i was dealing withan uninvited guest. have you needthen of, say,

treat all your ladieslike this? you are no lady.trust me. (bone cracks) harry, is it? how'd you like to earnmore than just a gold coin? you've broken the rules. you've done businesson continental grounds. and managementdoes not take kindlyto that sort of behavior. fuck management.
(muffled gunshot) don't worry.housekeeping will find you. (viggo speaking russian) ashes to ashes. can we recover from this? viggo, you knowwhat wasin that vault, right? it was nothing. (gunfire) shit!
(man grunts) (indistinct shouting) (gunfire continues) (man shouting) (vehicle approaching) viggo: i'll say this, john. they sure as fuckbroke the mold with you. (viggo laughs) ay, ay...
you always hada certain... (stammering) ...audacity about you,you know. right? oh, yeah. i can say you'restill very muchthe john wick of old. am i? people don't change.you know that. times, they do. do you know whatwas in that vault?
artwork, cash,not without its worth, but the leveragei had on this city, audio recordings,physical evidence,blackmail, it was fuckin' priceless! priceless! yeah. i kind ofenjoyed that. (laughs) yeah,i know you did. are you really laughing? so...
then you got married, ah?settled down. how did you managethat anyways? luck, i guess. yeah, while you hadyour wife, i had my son. and believe me,you had a far better deal. and then you left. and the wayyou got out, lying to yourself thatthe past held no swayover the future. but in the end,
a lot of us are rewardedfor our misdeeds, which is whygod took your wife and unleashedyou upon me. this life follows you. it clings to you, infecting everyonewho comes close to you. we are cursed,you and i. on that we agree. finally, common ground.(chuckles)
okay. step aside. give me your son. john wick. it was just a fucking car!just a fuckin' dog! just a dog... when helen died,i lost everything. until that dog arrivedon my doorstep. a final gift from my wife.
in that moment,i received somesemblance of hope. an opportunityto grieve unalone. and your son took that from me! oh, come on... stole that from me! killed that from me! people keep askingif i'm back. and i haven't reallyhad an answer.
but now, yeah,i'm thinkin' i'm back! so you can eitherhand over your son... ...or you can diescreaming alongside him! (cracking) (vehicle driving away) cool it, cool it, cool it,cool it, cool it! john! where is he? shit.
i have your word thatif i tell you where he is, you'll let me walk away? pull the contract. done. he's kept in a safe house.brooklyn. 434 wallace place. they know you're coming. but it won't matter. (gun firing)

make the arrangements. our pleasure, sir. a parting gift.from the management. compensation forlast night's unfortunate incident. (car engine starting) marcus: how many timesdo i have to save your ass? john: i appreciate it. marcus: of course.
you look terrible. no, i look retired. retired? you really believe that? you made a new life. (ship horn blowing) you'll find your wayback to it. it's time to go home. (marcus sighs)
let's get on with this,whatever the fuck this is. viggo: hello, marcus. this is john. i appreciate yougranting my sona swift death. i wouldn't know how to reply to that either. marcus betrayed me. you pulled the contract. and while it was open,you had every chance, every opportunityto kill john wick.
and if you haddone your job, my son wouldbe still alive! and in so doing, he broke the cardinal rule. ms. perkins. why am i not surprised? in for a penny,in for a pound. viggo: so, john, i had no choice. i always liked you, marcus.
