Where does the first part end? Marquis (Bill Skarsgård) and Chidi (Marko Zaror) speak about what is in store for John Wick (Keanu Reeves).

Final line of dialogue on the first part: “Understood, sir,” Chidi responds to Marquis’ request.

First line of dialogue on the second part: “All right now… For all you boppers out there in the City of Lights, for all you street people with an ear for the action, to all my loyal listeners who know the beat of the street, tonight is your chance to make some beautiful music.” A radio DJ (Marie Pierra Kakoma) speaks into her microphone announcing the updated bounty on.
