John Wick 3

Question 1

Skirmish

Answer 1

an episode of irregular or unpremeditated fighting, especially between small or outlying parts of armies or fleets.

Question 2

Consecrated

Answer 2

(of a church or land) having been made or declared sacred.

After being threatened with being removed from his position at the head of the New York branch of The Continental, its venerable owner Winston (Ian McShane) reaches a compromise with The Adjudicator (Asia Kate Dillon) of The High Table. The deal is simple, but effective: if he kills John Wick, he’s allowed to keep his position and the hotel will be re-consecrated as a safe haven for anyone in their world to claim as sanctuary.

Question 3

Parley

Answer 3

a conference between opposing sides in a dispute, especially a discussion of terms for an armistice.

Adjudicator proposes a parley between the Continental and the High Table

Question 4

If you want peace

Answer 4

prepare for war

Question 5

Parabellum

Answer 5

Parabellum is Latin for “prepare for war” and is often used within the context of the phrase Si vis pacem, para bellum, meaning “If you want peace, prepare for war.”

Question 6

fealty

Answer 6

a feudal tenant’s or vassal’s sworn loyalty to a lord.
“they owed fealty to the Earl rather than the King”
formal acknowledgment of loyalty to a lord.
“a property for which she did fealty”

High Table membership doesn’t come easily, but it’s desirable, the kind of prestige worth killing for; nor is it held onto easily, coming with the expectation of utmost fealty to the Table’s cause. Rather than dues, the High Table requires ruthlessness from its representatives, notably the Adjudicator (Asia Kate Dillon), sent by the High Table to clean up the mess left in John’s wake post-Chapter 2 and hold him accountable for constitutional crimes.
