[ACTION] 🥰 John Wick’s 12 Secret Rules- Something New before John Wick Chapter 4

I'm looking forward to John Wick: Chapter 4 for almost 3 years! Finally, Keanu Reeves is back this March 2023! Before you watch the film, click on it and watch the trailer.

You'd think I liked the John Wick series because I wanted to see how 410 people lost their lives for a pet dog. I was more fascinated by the rules of the mysterious killer organization in the movie. It was a huge and tightly structured system of organization. The unseen killers can "work" in such an orderly manner under such rules. They are professional, dedicated, and honored with the same respect for the rules. In this article, I will reveal the mysterious world of John Wick.

[1] Organization

The film never mentions the name of this mysterious assassin organization, which has become the biggest mystery in the world of assassins. Once you become a member of the organization, you must comply with the various red tape within the organization. All people in the organization especially respect the order and rules. Anyone who flouted the rules would be tortured or executed for minor offenses. If you want to make money by killing, you must be bound by the organization, otherwise, you have no place to take orders, similar to Uber drivers.

[2] Elder

The highest power symbol of the organization is the elder, who is in the depths of the desert in Casablanca, has supreme power, can easily decide the life and death of people, but can also change the organization's decree. You can't meet the elder whenever you want to. You cannot find the elder, only the elder finds you.

[3] High Table

The tip of the pyramid is usually a symbol of power, the real implementation of power, or the lower body, the high table. There are 12 seats at the High table, respectively from different countries. They are the head of the great power and decided to organize major events. These high table members are antagonistic to each other, and it is the existence of the organization that checks and balances the relationship between them and does not fall into chaos and fragmentation under the constraints of the rules. Known seat holders include Camorra, mafia, Ndrangheta, Chinese, Russians, etc.

[4] Tributary

Under the high table, many subordinates serve and obey the high table and follow the rules of the high table. For instance, Ruska Roma in Russia, where John got enlightened.

[5] In Opposition

Of course, there are some hardcore guys, under the system of the killer organization, but do not follow the orders of the high table, such as Bowery Street Bowery Street. They are well-informed and transmit information through carrier pigeons, which are difficult to track.

[6] Adjudicator

The adjudicator is parallel to the high table and is a special organization, ruled directly by the elders, with the power equivalent to the high table members. The adjudicator's black token symbolizes identity. They can dispatch all forces, including the organization's army.

[7] Continental Hotel

Continental Hotel is a membership system of the organization's services distributed all around the world. Members can enjoy the hotel's services, including the most important one, protection. No killing is allowed in the hotel, and once you break the rules, you will confront expulsion and disqualification from the organization. Once disqualified, you will automatically enter the bounty list, and if there is already a bounty on you, then the bounty will double, and it will get bigger and bigger as time goes on. So being expelled is basically a death sentence.

In John Wick 1, the female killer got killed for this. In John Wick 2, John was evicted for killing someone in the hotel and became the target of everyone's hunt. Continental's ruler is called a manager, with great power. Even HIGH TABLE members yield to them in the hotel.

Italy's manager - Julius

Casablanca's Manager-Sofia

There is a butler in each hotel, who manages the affairs of the hotel, sends messages, able to fight.

Of course, Continental is not a pure service organization. It has a big population of assassins. At the end of John Wick 2, when Winston gave the order, John realized everyone around was the hotel's killer.

[8] Killer Service

The killers in John Wick are professional because they benefit from some of the most attentive killer services in the world. Countless killer service stations under the organization are hidden around the world, disguised as part of everyday life, and only the killers know their real business.

Currently known services include corpse disposal and cleaning, provision of highly sophisticated weaponry, custom-made body armor clothing for various occasions, medical treatment, topographical and design drawings of places, etc. The station serves everyone who has a membership. But to whom do not have a membership, the service station refuses to provide any service. The killer service is hidden from the world and cannot be disclosed to the public.

Customized Service

[9] Administration Center

An administration mostly composed of tattooed girls. This is where information related to the killer organization is kept, processed, and released. Depending on the function, there are different departments, such as the answering department, administration department, reward department, archive department, information processing department, etc. All bounty assignments will only take effect after they are accepted through the administration center and sent to the top of the killers' phones within the bounty range in the form of SMS. The administration center accepts the order over the phone, enters it into the system, and then writes it manually on the bounty list.

Information system

[10] Coin

We mentioned earlier that killers can enjoy services, but they are not for free, only available to hotel members. Other than that, it could be exchanged through a currency specific to the killer world.

Killer Gold Coins

One gold coin is equivalent to 500,000 US dollars. A common service costs only one gold coin, such as staying in a hotel, buying a glass of wine, taking a taxi, or having an operation, all for one gold coin. Of course, higher-level services will also consume more gold coins. For the assassin organization, this behavior is not a transaction in essence, but a social behavior. Socialization is about, well, courtesy. If someone breaks this inertia, it is a betrayal of the organization's values so there will be consequences.

[11] Marker

Look at this badge-like thing, it opens like a pocket watch, and there is a pin on it, specifically for poking your finger to press a bloody handprint.

When you have a request, you can show the badge and make a Marker request to the promisee. Once the appointee agrees, you must do something for him/her, no matter what that something is, and you must do it unconditionally whenever and wherever the next time appointee wants you to do it. If you refuse, the organization will let you die; if you run away, the organization will let you die, and if you cannot kill the contractee, the organization will kill you just the same.

The invitee leaves his or her bloody handprint on the badge. The Marker only terminates when you have done what the invitee has asked you to do. The invitee then imprints his or her handprint on the badge and the invitee regains his or her freedom.

There are books dedicated to recording Marker to avoid cheating, and usually a third-party witness.

[12] Other

In addition to this, within each power, there will be its own rules. For example, Ruska Roma's pass, the Cross. There is only one chance to use it, and the way to use it is to hand over the cross, burn it red, and brand it on the tattoo on the back. It is a symbol that you are no longer a member.
