New York Continental Siege
The High Table's enforcers storm the New York Continental after Winston refuses to abdicate.
The New York Continental comes under attack at the climax of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. When Winston refuses to abdicate and John refuses to kill him, the Adjudicator revokes the hotel's neutral status and sends Zero and an army of heavily armed High Table enforcers to kill John and Winston.
Lore & Background
Winston provides John with weapons and the help of the concierge Charon and his staff. After John kills all the enforcers, Zero and his students ambush him; John kills all but two of them and defeats Zero. On the roof, Winston parleys with the Adjudicator and offers his allegiance to the High Table, then shoots John, who falls to the street below.
Reader's Guide
In John Wick: Chapter 4, the Marquis Vincent Bisset de Gramont punishes Winston for failing to kill John: he strips him of his managerial duties, declares him excommunicado, destroys the New York Continental and executes Charon. After John wins his duel with the Marquis, the Harbinger reinstates Winston as manager of the New York Continental, rebuilt by the High Table.
