I love the attention to detail at 1:27. You can slightly see blood on the Adjuticators forehead, and she falls over. This is a reference to Winston pulling out his gun and shooting her in the head. Outstanding show.
The Adjudicator is simply a position of power. She’s the ‘pretty face” of the High Table’s power. And, yes, she, every Adjudicator, is very, very scary. She’s the one the High Table sends to let someone know ‘they’ve screwed up’ and are at risk of falling out of the High Table’s favor. She speaks for them, makes judgements in their name, serves at their pleasure. She also knows that her life is a careful balance. Going too far into her own interests will get her killed by the High Table. Dealing with underlings is dangerous as the perception of her power lies in the understanding of what the High Table will do to them if they disobey.
Nah, her mask made her look too silly to take her seriously. Something that I'm starting to realize since John Wick 3 is that instead of making the effort of showing how powerful and threatening the High Table really is, the writers/producers are just taking the easy way out by just showing members related to the High Table as excentric people doing flamboyant displays of wealth that serves no purpose other than to boast to themselves.
And ‘W’. Just before she died she said “You WON’T even register to them”. I thought of this just as I saw her mouth, and I haven’t even seen this series.
With what we know now of how Winston came into power and straight up KILLED an Adjudicator, you would think both the High table in 3-4 and the one in John Wick 3 would not underestimate Winston's power...then again this show was made after the fact. Still hindsight is 20/20 and the 3rd movies Adjudicator is lucky she didn't get a bullet in her head from Winston himself.
I believe it’s said throughout the John Wick series that you cut a head off the High Table and more grow back. No matter what Winston/John have done a new more evil High Table member surfaces so it’s a never ending battle to maintain civility of the Continental.
A real surprise how that was possible. Given how most would sound different with only the opening of a jaw than the lips in sync. Though perhaps there's still some perhaps part of her that still keeps her chin.
Maybe how a ventriloquist like Jeff Dunham does voices, where it's from careful practice to teach herself how to speak clearly while compensating for having no lips?
@@generalilbisall ventriloquists do is speak out the side of their lips. She doesn't have lips. She wouldn't be able to do that no matter how much she practiced. It would be impossible. Try pronouncing P, B, and M without lips. It's an impossible task
@@TownBiness97 Fair enough. Was just trying to offer a possible explanation, but your point about certain letter sounds being impossible without having lips scuttles it from just my own attempts at practice.
What I don’t get is, for a universe that’s about rules and consequences, how come this major action didn’t have any consequences? How could Winston kill a direct associate of the High Table before even being named Manager, and still got that position with no fallout?

@@thestranger1475 Except now Winston has a small group of close friends who could be exploited/tortured/blackmailed/killed by the high-table for leverage against him and the location of the coin press. Rash move on his part and poor writing IMO.
Fear. The same fear that made them declare a Marquis against John. In 40 years they forgot this fear. John made them remember it. Had they gone after Winston at this point, they would have suffered grievous pain. Fear is the one enemy The High Table can never defeat.
I love how Winston shoots her twice in the chest first just to allow her to feel the pain of her incoming death, letting her feel the pain she inflicted on multiple people throughout this whole ordeal
Love that 2 shots fired below before the final headshot, Winston is making sure that at least he injured her if she tries to escape, and dealt the final blow to confirm kill.
Pretty sure her mouse wasn't ripped off for no reason so maybe it was one of the high table's punishments. And she wanted to mess with it by trying to steal the only thing that could produce its currency and went wrong.
@@_Black_Lemonade well if we look at how powerful figureheads from the high table act based on Marquis Vincent Bisset de Gramont sometimes to be of service one must prove it, so to be given the honor to serve face of the Hightable and be their adjudicator she had to give her face to the hightable. sometimes they be like that.
He can't. Even during Winston shooting John, Winston needs to obey the rules of "no killing in Continental Grounds" to manipulate the Adjudicator. The Adjudicator is on Continental the whole time and Winston played her as a bargaining chip to the High Table but also need to showed them that The Continental isn't a pushover. Whether he killed the Adjudicator or John he needs to show the High Table he held his rules. This is why Winston dont partake with Wick and Charon's defense of Continental in JW3, and he tried to kill John by pushing him off the Continental first. This is why the HT ended up appointing a Marquis to finally remove Winston of his credibilities and The Continental outside of the given rule in JW4, and yet Winston still wins against the Marquis by using the rules.
I'm gonna be honest, the only thing that kinda ruined this scene is the multiple cuts and slowmo of the headshot. John Wick was known to not revel in his kills and so kills were usually quick and not dramatized. This may not be John Wick, but it would be nice if they kept that.
@@tatkkyo9911 no you really don't. There are certain letters that can't be pronounced without lips and certain letters that can't be pronounced without a tongue. You don't just magically learn to pronounce letters that require your lips to press together just cause your lips have been gone for a long time. She'd pronounce her B's like D's. M's like N's wouldn't be able to pronounce V's or F's or W's because that's all impossible without your lips
Only reason I feel like Winston was given the hotel, *cause the High Table had more than enough justification to take it back from him* was the Adjuticator was acting on her own initiative and without the consent or knowledge of the HT that she was trying to take the Coin Press from Cormac for her own, I may have missed a bit in thje show if it explains it or forgot.... but Killing an Adjudicator would have to have a very powerful defense.
Although the scene paints winston as this huge badass, it really makes no sense, the woman talking perfectly with no lips, no high table punishment on winston, winston's counter-productive action
Winston has leverage on the "High Table". He knows the coin press location. They can't kill him. Winston also has rights to take over the "Continental". Let's keep in mind. Cormac O'Connor raised Winston and Frank. That's their father figure and mentor. Once the parents are gone, everything is yours. The Continental already knows their history.
i like also the message here. "you know what? From what I'm standing, seems to me you're the one in unfortunate situation" Your are not in the continental grounds and i can shoot u LOL
@@lamario295 That's not how it works, the high table isn't something that lets themself get blackmailed. They would have just kill Winston and get the coin press back themself. They have proven in JW that they have no problem sending in a strike team. So yeah realisticly this is nothing the table would let slide
@user-tf4dl2cj9c because Winston was actively moving against the High Table. Whereas here, he's just taking out an enforcer for them who's already admitted to acting rogue.
1. He has the coin press and is mentally sharper than Cormac and will defend it, protect it more effectively from the High Table. 2. The adjudicator herself was involved with the original robbery of the press (explained in the show), so she deserved punishment and eventually would’ve received it somehow from the High Table. Winston just expedited the process and the guard will explain the situation to the High Table who will dislike Winston but gain nothing by killing him.
I’m just curious what the Adjudicator did to anger someone so badly that they mutilated her like that? I’m betting that the high table helped her get her revenge in order to win her loyalty or was it a punishment?
@@IndependentThinker7747 or the other thing is loose lips so may have told someone something she shouldn't hence looses her lips and becomes an adjudicator ensuring others like her get theirs
I just realized that part of why Winston was able to keep the hotel was because Winston killed an adjudicator who let Cormac get away with killing on Continental grounds, and took the hotel from Cormac, and followed hotel rules by stepping off the property before he killed the adjudicator. Honestly it's entirely possible the High Table was gonna kill the adjudicator themselves. I actually DON'T think the table always hated Winston. In fact I think the fact that he wasn't killed for giving Wick an hour in 3, and that even the Marquis let him live in 4, indicates that they actually respect him and have an abnormal amount of restraint when dealing with him.
The way Winston shot the adjudicator, 2 shots to the chest and 1 shot to the head, Is called ghe Mozambique Drill, the same method John Used throughout the four movies. So it is implied that Winston may had his fare share of teaching John in combat.
Ok, I have several issues with the scene from a writing/storytelling point-of-view. 1. Winston guns down a (probably unarmed) woman in broad daylight who was (correctly) notifying him that he did not own the hotel or the coin press and we are left without one of the most interesting and under-developed characters in the John Wick franchise. I would have preferred he execute the bodyguard and leave her alone/embarrassed/defenceless etc to return as a bigger and more "fleshed-out" threat in Season 2. 2. This is an intelligent and intimidating villain who turned Mel Gibson's raging psychopath into a whiny brat without any show of real force but we are led to believe that she would simply turn up unarmed to deal with a man who has just stormed and eliminated an entire hotel full of highly trained assassins with vastly inferior numbers on his side. 3. How slow was the bodyguard to react?!!! As soon as Winston stepped off the hotel grounds and got within 6 feet of her, he should have been on the front foot to intervene. I understand this was written to show how much of a badass Winston had become but it was a letdown of an ending for me despite the series being decent on-the-whole.
@@IchigoKurosaki011 I can understand perhaps from an arrogance point-of-view she thought she was untouchable but but still seems a bit of an anticlimax and a waste of a character.
Exactly lmao, a high table bodyguard of one of their most treasured members wouldn't react the second that occured? Plot armour > story that makes sense
@@betreyaljustice6096 He is a bodyguard my guy, have you ever been around a bodyguard for someone high value? They act exactly like this guy except 5x more paranoid and alert, except winston would die or be seriously injured the moment he stepped that close and made a sudden movement.
2 questions: How the hell was she able to speak when she didn’t have any lips? And was there any explanation given for Winston suddenly having an English accent in the Wick movies? 🤷♂️
While Ian McShane is from England, I don't think Winston is...his accent serms to be Mid-Atlantic, where it sounds English due to it being refined and possesing certain flourishes similar to Received Pronunciation but sounds "colonial" to someone from the UK. Basically, he's taking like he went to a fancy US prep or private school where they taught students to speak with clear diction and a measured pace.
@@thebluestig2654 The answer is, she couldn't. You can't pronounce certain letters without lips. Especially considering those letters require your lips to touch for the sound to be made
@@thebluestig2654 their lips are moving. They're just almost imperceptible. It is literally impossible to form certain letters without lips. Which ventriloquists have. You cannot pronounce them. Try it instead of getting emotional and indignant over facts
Never thought wick would bore me to tears but here’s where I’m at. Fight scenes I have seen over and over. Hand to hand and finally guns. The story is not a plot to get into a fight!
Whoa, this is my first time learning about this show, but I have a non serious question: how in the world was she able to annunciate words properly without having lips?
Winston is the equivalent of Robert McCall. "The Continental will go on. Your life will end here on this funky pavement over a lousy accord from the High Table. You should've agree to my terms."

Cormac O'Connor raised Winston and Frank. That's their father figure and mentor. Once the parents are gone, everything is yours. The Continental already knows their history.
The look on her face when he pulled the gun
When he stepped off that last step, I thought "Oh shit's about to get REAL real."
Miss Adjudicator! Your membership to the high table has been by thine own hand... REVOKED! 1:23
When the hell is season 2 coming. This is an amazing series
The adjudicator could speak without her lips because she is part tarkatan from Mortal Kombat.
Love how she can make P and V sounds with no lips 😂
1:23 how is there no other shells from him shooting her at least 3 times or blood on her body and she wasn’t moving as she was being shot🤔🕵🏽♂️
A writing error or a background hint? 👀
i like also the message here.
"you know what? From what I'm standing, seems to me you're the one in unfortunate situation"
Your are not in the continental grounds and i can shoot u LOL
“I’ve never killed a messenger before..”
Winston had the high ground then. Lol.
casual murder and snappy music; some real depth and skill here in film making.
1:35 With a face like that, how did she make any sort of sounds that require lips, like Ps and Ms?
That is a pretty-eyed lady.
Amazing the difference one step can make.
It’s a whole different world.
When you leave yourself wide open to be judge. Dont try bluffing or coming to be to instill fear. ❤
…how did I not hear about this? The spin-off already came out? I didn’t even know there was one. Let’s goooo🔥
1:25 Looks like she didn't see it coming. 😂
Just seeing this little segment it honestly does not feel like the john wick universe.
The slowing down matrix /max Payne style of the shot definitely is different than the JW role
Give me an Adjudicator background spin off and no one will get hurt
For as great as this scene was, it makes absolutly no sense. There really is no way the high table would have just let this go
As long as he has the coin press he's untouchable
@@lamario295 That's not how it works, the high table isn't something that lets themself get blackmailed. They would have just kill Winston and get the coin press back themself. They have proven in JW that they have no problem sending in a strike team. So yeah realisticly this is nothing the table would let slide
@@lamario295 Then why not in john W 3 ??
@user-tf4dl2cj9c because Winston was actively moving against the High Table. Whereas here, he's just taking out an enforcer for them who's already admitted to acting rogue.
1. He has the coin press and is mentally sharper than Cormac and will defend it, protect it more effectively from the High Table.
2. The adjudicator herself was involved with the original robbery of the press (explained in the show), so she deserved punishment and eventually would’ve received it somehow from the High Table.
Winston just expedited the process and the guard will explain the situation to the High Table who will dislike Winston but gain nothing by killing him.
I’m just curious what the Adjudicator did to anger someone so badly that they mutilated her like that? I’m betting that the high table helped her get her revenge in order to win her loyalty or was it a punishment?
She remind me of Kitana cheap copy
PUnishments tend to fit the crime so probably tried to honey pot or kiss someone she shouldn't
@@TheWPhilosopher thank you for answering my question. Your answer actually makes a lot of sense. Still would of hated to have been her.
@@IndependentThinker7747 no problem. Of course I don't profess I've nailed it but that's my reading of the situation.
@@IndependentThinker7747 or the other thing is loose lips so may have told someone something she shouldn't hence looses her lips and becomes an adjudicator ensuring others like her get theirs
I just realized that part of why Winston was able to keep the hotel was because Winston killed an adjudicator who let Cormac get away with killing on Continental grounds, and took the hotel from Cormac, and followed hotel rules by stepping off the property before he killed the adjudicator.
Honestly it's entirely possible the High Table was gonna kill the adjudicator themselves.
I actually DON'T think the table always hated Winston. In fact I think the fact that he wasn't killed for giving Wick an hour in 3, and that even the Marquis let him live in 4, indicates that they actually respect him and have an abnormal amount of restraint when dealing with him.
Finally someone noticed that she would have equally paid consequences
And that's why the adjudicator go inside the hotel to talk to the manager. To avoid this situation from happening again
love this teaser. thank u
The way Winston shot the adjudicator, 2 shots to the chest and 1 shot to the head, Is called ghe Mozambique Drill, the same method John Used throughout the four movies. So it is implied that Winston may had his fare share of teaching John in combat.
2 rules are absolute: every marker must be honored, and no spilling blood on Continental grounds
The Adjudicator has pretty good diction for someone with no lips.
Ok, I have several issues with the scene from a writing/storytelling point-of-view.
1. Winston guns down a (probably unarmed) woman in broad daylight who was (correctly) notifying him that he did not own the hotel or the coin press and we are left without one of the most interesting and under-developed characters in the John Wick franchise. I would have preferred he execute the bodyguard and leave her alone/embarrassed/defenceless etc to return as a bigger and more "fleshed-out" threat in Season 2.
2. This is an intelligent and intimidating villain who turned Mel Gibson's raging psychopath into a whiny brat without any show of real force but we are led to believe that she would simply turn up unarmed to deal with a man who has just stormed and eliminated an entire hotel full of highly trained assassins with vastly inferior numbers on his side.
3. How slow was the bodyguard to react?!!! As soon as Winston stepped off the hotel grounds and got within 6 feet of her, he should have been on the front foot to intervene.
I understand this was written to show how much of a badass Winston had become but it was a letdown of an ending for me despite the series being decent on-the-whole.
Maybe she thought he wouldn't shoot her, especially if he wanted to become the new owner and be a part of their world
@@IchigoKurosaki011 I can understand perhaps from an arrogance point-of-view she thought she was untouchable but but still seems a bit of an anticlimax and a waste of a character.
Exactly lmao, a high table bodyguard of one of their most treasured members wouldn't react the second that occured?
Plot armour > story that makes sense
@@Cotac_Rasticthe shock because he did not show aggression at first
@@betreyaljustice6096 He is a bodyguard my guy, have you ever been around a bodyguard for someone high value?
They act exactly like this guy except 5x more paranoid and alert, except winston would die or be seriously injured the moment he stepped that close and made a sudden movement.
2 questions: How the hell was she able to speak when she didn’t have any lips? And was there any explanation given for Winston suddenly having an English accent in the Wick movies? 🤷♂️
While Ian McShane is from England, I don't think Winston is...his accent serms to be Mid-Atlantic, where it sounds English due to it being refined and possesing certain flourishes similar to Received Pronunciation but sounds "colonial" to someone from the UK. Basically, he's taking like he went to a fancy US prep or private school where they taught students to speak with clear diction and a measured pace.
@@generalilbisno, its definitely an English accent
How the adjudicator say "high table" perfectly despite having no lips
He hit her with the one two skip a few

Released in September 1978, I was 8 years old when it came out.
Oh man, he just did the Mozambique drill on her.
How did she pronounce all of those Bs and Ps without lips?

Can someone explain how she...you know...articulates vowels without lips?
Ask Jeff Dunham.
@@thebluestig2654 Or ask Akmed about moving around without ligaments!
@@thebluestig2654 The answer is, she couldn't. You can't pronounce certain letters without lips. Especially considering those letters require your lips to touch for the sound to be made
@@TownBiness97 So literal centuries of ventriloquist performers making every possible word without their lips moving just don't exist to you at all?
@@thebluestig2654 their lips are moving. They're just almost imperceptible. It is literally impossible to form certain letters without lips. Which ventriloquists have. You cannot pronounce them. Try it instead of getting emotional and indignant over facts
Never thought wick would bore me to tears but here’s where I’m at. Fight scenes I have seen over and over.
Hand to hand and finally guns. The story is not a plot to get into a fight!
Aw, not worth watching then?
@@dragonmaster909 definitely watch it its a great series
@@fratsheeno it’s not it’s boring garbage
Winston was really badass in his youth.
Wikipedia won’t even give Ace Frehley credit for this song being used in the show. I love this scene!
I wonder if we'll see John doing his impossible task in the final season
Not a chance, this is set in the 70s. We'll, at best, see a young John wick.
well at least we can see he kill 3 man in bar with a pencil, with a fooking pencil
1:25 that stare.
That pigeon sound at the very end... the Bowery knows.
Whoa, this is my first time learning about this show, but I have a non serious question: how in the world was she able to annunciate words properly without having lips?
Winston is the equivalent of Robert McCall.
"The Continental will go on. Your life will end here on this funky pavement over a lousy accord from the High Table. You should've agree to my terms."
1:27 winston collaborated with Max Payne to use Bullet Time ™️
Ace Frehley - New York groove
they really have a stressful confrontation followed by Ace Frehley
The cauliflower on that guy is just 👌
Why does Winston suddenly have no accent?
She was much better than the adjudicator from the movies
Lady with Havik's face 💀
Not 'The Adjudicator' we wanted to see killed, but the scene we need
Winston is truly a chess player from the start. Smart guy
The first time I watched this, I half-expected it to be Ian McShane we saw at the end of the camera pan upward
Yeah me too
Ending with New York groove is badass
Anyone notice how The Adjudicator looks and talks like Leia from Star Wars?
I didn't know Mileena was in this show!!!
using the song new york grove by Ace Frehley is a nice touch.
1:34 the reveal reminds me of Havik from Mortal Kombat
I wanna bet the drink Winston drinking at the end was just water as prop
