[THE BABA YAGA TETRALOGY]: JW:CH2 in 1080p (2017) [2nd of 4]

John Wick is an American neo-noir action thriller media franchise created by Derek Kolstad and centered around John Wick, a former hitman who is forced back into the criminal underworld he had previously abandoned. John was born Jardani Jovonovich (Russian: Джордани Йованович, Belarusian: Ярдані Яванавіч) in Padhorje, Byelorussian SSR, Soviet Union on September 2, 1964. He was orphaned at a young age before being taken in by an old friend of his father, who would eventually become John's mentor. Who is John's mentor? Marcus (portrayed by Willem Dafoe in John Wick: Ch 1). He is an old guard who became an assassin. He is battle hardened man who is reliable and one of the Elites. Marcus is a high class assassin who is John's best friend. He was also a mentor to John. Marcus is a father figure to John and to other hitmen. He is skilled with a sniper rifle, meaning Marcus was a sniper in his past life. Marcus is a skilled fighter as well. This is seen when he is fighting Viggio's henchmen. How did John Wick earn the moniker "Baba Yaga?" Years after leaving the Ruska Roma, John became a professional assassin who earned the nickname Baba Yaga ("The Boogeyman" in Russian) for his unparalleled hyper-lethality. In this chapter, the story continues when retired super-assassin John Wick's plans to resume a quiet civilian life are cut short when Italian gangster Santino D'Antonio shows up on his doorstep with a gold marker, compelling him to repay past favours. Ordered by Winston, the kingpin of secret assassin society The Continental, to respect the organisation's ancient code, Wick reluctantly accepts the assignment to travel to Rome to take out D'Antonio's sister, the ruthless capo atop the Italian Camorra crime syndicate. And after honoring that marker, he then faces betrayal at the hands of Santino, the marker owner.
