Accused of betraying La Chapiza and passing intelligence to its rivals, a captive is forced to name names before his captors chop him apart like firewood. This video is extremely graphic. You have been warned.

The captive appears to be a young adult man. Shirtless, restrained and kneeling, he has dark lettering scrawled across his face and torso, including a large “MF” on his chest. At least two masked, armed men stand behind him while an unseen interrogator questions him. His identity remains unconfirmed.

Interrogation excerpt translated from Spanish by Sol Prendido. Each speaker turn appears on its own line; bracketed uncertainties are preserved from the reviewed source.

Sicario: How exactly were you helping the Cero Cero mob?

Captive: I’d help them place people into El Charco to kill innocent civilians.

Sicario: Who exactly were you helping?

Captive: Joker.

Sicario: Where can I find him?

Captive: In the town of Dimas.

Sicario: If Joker and his crew is apparently looking for us then why doesn’t he come out to face us in an armed confrontation?

Captive: Because they’re all a bunch of cowards and they only work with drones.

Sicario: What type of work were you doing with them?

Captive: I was just acting as a lookout and letting them know where you guys were located.

Sicario: Who else was helping you out to get this done?

Captive: El Moreno, El Mirri, and El Beto. It was just four of us.

Sicario: What sort of transportation were you guys using to get into El Charco?

Captive: We had two guys dressed in black that were using a black and a white Nissan Pulsar. A Nissan Sentra, a white Nissan Versa and a grey Kia.

Sicario: Where would everyone hide out afterwards?

Captive: Those guys would disappear; they went from the north checkpoint into El Charco and disappeared around [El Aval?]. The motorcycles came back out toward the north checkpoint.

Sicario: Why did you decide to bite the hand that fed you, asshole?

Captive: Because I was stupid, sir; it was my own stupid mistake. I never lacked anything with the boss.

Sicario: Did you ever go without your pay?

Captive: No, sir. The boss never failed to pay me.

Sicario: Did you ever lack uniforms?

Captive: No.

Sicario: Food?

Captive: No.

Sicario: Then why the fuck did you switch sides?

[Speaker unclear]: Stupid and a pig, sir. It was the tactical vest.

Sicario: A tactical vest for whom?

Captive: For Señor 21.

Sicario: And why do we have you here, asshole?

Captive: Because I passed intelligence, sir, and tipped off the Marranos three times.

Sicario: Where did you pass the intelligence? Who did you pass it to?

Captive: I tipped off the Marranos three times, through Chico and Maquinita, sir.

Sicario: Where?

Captive: I covered the whole [Liverpool area; the following place names are unclear], that whole area from [the north checkpoint / “La Casita Nórdica” in the captions].

Sicario: Who exactly were you helping?

Captive: Joker [and/the] Cero Cero Marranos.

Sicario: Where do I find him?

Captive: You will find Joker in Dimas, at Estación Dimas.

Sicario: Then why do they not come at us themselves? Why do they not come close?

Captive: Because they are cowards; they operate through gunfire, sir.

Sicario: How much did they pay you?

Captive: Nothing. They paid me nothing for the three jobs I did.

Sicario: Where did you take them in?

Captive: As far as [there], so they would clash in El Charco, sir.

Sicario: For what purpose? What was their purpose?

Captive: To kill innocent people.

Captive: There is only one boss here, and there always will be. Chapo Guzmán all the way, you bunch of assholes!
