In response, Zero's students slaughter his men while the King is slashed seven times with a wakizashi as penance. Seven days later, the Adjudicator and Zero confront the Bowery King, who refuses to abdicate his position.

They fight their way out of the kasbah by killing Berrada's henchmen and drive into the desert, where she leaves John. Sofia tries to kill Berrada, but at John's warning she only wounds him. In exchange, Berrada asks for one of Sofia's dogs (Belgian Malinois) and when she refuses, he shoots the dog, which survives due to its bulletproof vest. Sofia reluctantly takes John to Berrada, her former boss, who tells John he may find the Elder by wandering through the desert until he can no longer walk. John presents the marker, which he obtained after helping her to protect her daughter, and demands to be directed to the "Elder"-the only person above the High Table. In Casablanca, John meets Sofia, a former friend and manager of the Moroccan Continental. The Adjudicator hires Zero, a Japanese assassin, and orders him to stab the Director through both of her hands as penance for defying the High Table. A High Table Adjudicator meanwhile meets with New York Continental manager Winston and the Bowery King, notifying them that they both have seven days to resign from their positions for breaking the rules of the High Table. The Director reluctantly helps John as he was once one of them, a Belarusian-born protégé named Jardani Jovonovich. John meets with the "Director", the head of the Ruska Roma crime syndicate, where he presents the rosary and demands safe passage to Casablanca. John finishes suturing himself but is quickly pursued by various gangs of assassins whom he kills. He is injured in a fight with another hitman named Ernest and seeks medical treatment from an underworld doctor, but his $14 million bounty activates before the doctor can finish. At the New York Public Library, John retrieves a marker medallion and a rosary. John Wick makes his way through Manhattan before he is labeled " excommunicado" for the unauthorized killing of High Table crime lord Santino D'Antonio on the grounds of the New York Continental Hotel -before this, he ensures his dog is kept safe at the very same hotel.
