After meeting with Mr. X, John Wick began chasing Mr. X through the House of Mirrors. As the two enter the House of Mirrors, Revy enters the House of Mirrors. Upon seeing the mirrors and the distorted reflections of Wick and Mr. X frustrated her.
Revy: God fucking dammit!
Revy began shooting at all the mirrors trying to hit Mr. X. The shots fail to hit anyone. One of shots nearly hits Wick. He simply keeps up the chase.
Wick: There's nowhere to run Xavier!
Mr. X: The thrill is in the chase Mr. Wick! And it appears we have another rabbit in our chase! The more the merrier I say!
Revy: You won't be saying that when I get my fucking get my hands on you! YOU HEAR ME YOU BALD COCKSUCKER?! I'M GONNA BLOW YOUR FUCKING BRAINS ALL OVER THESE FUCKING MIRRORS!
Mr. X is amused by Revy's vulgarity. As Wick continues to search for Mr. X, a shot rings out. Wick looks around while ducking behind cover. The next thing he hears is Revy screaming in pain. He peaks from the corner and sees Revy writhing in pain from a shot.
Wick: Where did the shot come from?
Revy: How the fuck am I supposed to know?! The fucker shot me!
Wick: Keep pressure on the wound. You should be fine. I'm going after Xavier.
Revy: Make that fucker suffer! I better fucking screaming!
Wick reloaded his pistol and continued moving through the House of Mirrors in search of Mr. X. As he does, Mr. X begins chuckling.
Mr. X: Where could I be Mr. Wick? Perhaps I'm in front of you. Maybe behind you. Maybe I'm at the exit and about to escape. So many possibilities! Will you find me Mr. Wick? Or will I find you?
The hunt was on. John Wick and Mr. X were locked in a game of hunter and prey. Both knew that this would end in one way. This would end in one man killing the other. Wick stopped in his tracks and listened for something that could give Mr. X's position.
Mr. X: It gives me no pleasure to kill you Mr. Wick. I admire the legend of the Baba Yaga. But I will do my part to give you an honorable death. It's the least I can do for man of your own reputation.
Wick: Don't be so sure Xavier.
Wick then kept his ear out for anything that could locate Mr. X. As he listens closely, Wick could hear footsteps slowly moving around him. He cocked his pistol and shot at a nearby mirror. The mirror shatters, revealing Mr. X. Instead of being scared or angry, Mr. X is impressed.
Mr. X: You never cease to amaze me Mr. Wick!
The two assassins fire on one another at the same time. The bullets hit both their guns, destroying them and disarming them. The two men stare each other down.
Mr. X: You truly are worthy of your reputation. How about we settle this in the old ways?
Mr. X then pulls out two antique Flintlock Pistols from his coat and tosses one of them to Wick.
Mr. X: I know this display is rather overdramatic, but I'm a man of simple and refined tastes. One shot each for the both of us. I believe a duel is fitting for men of our reputation. Wouldn't you say Mr. Wick?
Wick takes a moment to think about Mr. X's proposal. While he was tasked to kill him, Wick had a sort of mutual respect for Mr. X.
Mr. X: So what do you say Mr. Wick? Will you accept?
Wick: Very well then. What are your terms?
Mr. X: Whoever wins gets the honor of killing his opponent. Whether it be you claiming your prize or me resuming my enterprises, either way we end this in a respectable manner.
Wick: Shall we begin?
Mr. X: My pleasure. May the fastest gun win, Mr. Wick.
Wick and Mr. X stood back to back against one another. They soon walked twenty paces from one another. As soon as they did, a countdown began.
Mr. X: One.....
Wick: Two.....
There was a brief pause in the final count. Everything that happened before led to this single moment.
Wick/Mr. X: Three!
The two turn around and fire on one another simultaneously. The shots rang out through the House of Mirrors. As the two men looked at each other, Mr. X clutched to his chest. Wick landed a fatal shot to the chest while Mr. X only grazed Wick's suit.
Mr. X: Well played Mr. Wick....
Mr. X collapses to the ground as he died from his wound. Wick walks over to the dead Mr. X and placed the pistol on his chest. He then took a pocket watch that bore his name out of his pocket.
Wick: Well played Mr. X.
Wick then walks over to the wounded Revy and helps her up.
Revy: Well is the fucker dead?!
Wick: Mr. X is dead.
Wick and Revy then exit the House of Mirrors where the Lagoon Company along with Marcus stand over the bodies of the mercenaries who were escorting Mr. X.
Marcus: Is it done John?
Wick: Yes.
Marcus: Always impressed with your work. A shame I wasn't there to see it through personally.
Wick: There's always next time.
Marcus: See you around John.
As Marcus exits the amusement park, Wick concludes his business with the Lagoon Company. All that he has left is to report his success with Hotel Moscow.
