After Winston's supposed betrayal, Wick's fate is unknown to the High Table until the Adjudicator sees that the super assassin's body has gone missing. In a twist that everybody and their pitbull saw coming, it turns out that Wick is alive, having found refuge in the Bowery King's new hideout. The Bowery King, sliced seven times by Zero — a callback to when he hooked Wick up with seven bullets back in Chapter 2 — tells Wick he's "pissed off." Wick agrees with that sentiment, setting up what's sure to be another beautifully choreographed and absurdly violent installment in John Wick: Chapter 4.
The third act also reveals that the title "Parabellum" — from the Latin adage "Si vis pacem, para bellum," meaning "If you want peace, prepare for war" — isn't necessarily a reference to the "war" between Wick and the world's elite assassins in this latest installment. Parabellum instead sets up the war to come against the High Table, and it looks like Wick will get more help the next time around, probably even from Mr. "We Are New York City" himself, the mercurial Winston. The Bowery King and his considerable influence in the underground are also sure to be a major factor in Chapter 4, which will almost certainly happen, considering how successful the Wick films have been with critics and at the box office.
