When John arrives to the club in order to kill Iosef, Kuzma, Kirill, Nicholai and their cohorts hunt down the boogeyman through the club. After Iosef escaped from the club and Wick killed Nicholai, Kirill and Kuzma engage the protagonist in a short shootout but John is able to shoot Kuzma to death before fighting Kirill.
