Narco Cultura

They say that it's safe on the

other side.

That people don't kill over

there.

But the narcos are over here.

My dream is that there would be

no more murders here.

I want to see him!

We can't get through here.

They're saying hooded people

came and killed him.

They took out an AK-47 and shot

him.

Well first with a pistol.

Then they ran out of bullets

so they took the AK

and started shooting the car.

Good thing they didn't hit the

gas tank.

It would have exploded.

They shoot randomly

and liquidate everyone.

That's how they killed my

uncle. He was going to church.

My uncle was just walking and

got shot.

He choked on his own blood.

We're going out to Guadalupe

to pick up a body.

The streets are empty.

Because of the situation people

don't leave their houses.

Here in this plaza

they left dismembered bodies,

without heads.

Sometimes only the heads

with a message.

We have to come out here to

work

and it's very dangerous for us

to be here.

Juarez has always been a

dangerous city.

In 2007, we processed 320

murders.

Then the drug war arrived in

our city.

In 2008, we processed 1,623

homicides.

In 2009, there were 2,754

murders.

3,622 were murdered in Juarez

in 2010.

In El Paso, Texas, just across

the river

there were only five murders

that same year.

Making it the safest city in

the United States.

I was walking in peace

around Guadalajara.

The damn government started a

battle.

With an AK-47 but no bulletproof

vest, I cruised in my white truck

I hit one, my rifle never fails.

With a good eye and a good

pulse, my school fights back.

All right "Ghost" my friend...

What do you want me to put in

your song?

The more stuff you let me know, the

more I can make it interesting

and the better it will come

out.

Say that I come from Michoacan.

And now you can find me in

Oxnard.

What caliber do you carry'?

A 9mm.

Or the R15.

Do you want me to say your

name, or just call you "Ghost?"

"El Ghost. "

That's it.

Gonna go meet up with "Ghost. "

A little hustle I got going on

here.

Let's do it here in the truck.

Is everyone ready or what'?

Walking around without hearing

with bags under my eyes

I don't like the usual Only the

best quality inside these jars.

The clients ask and they pay.

And I bring them the package.

The car stayed parked

and I went in my Silverado

South to north on Highway 101,

always in transit.

With payments for my friends.

My name... it slipped my mind

I'll pay you now?

Solid?

Damn, no tip'?

Savings.

Did he like the corrido'?

Yeah he liked it. Tomorrow

I'm gonna record it for him.

...and he asks if I want to

sing in a band he was starting.

We're bloodthirsty, crazy,

and we like to kill.

Sing it!

Sorry.

Why do you work with a mask'?

For our security.

There are so many people at the

crime scene.

We never know

what people are in the crowd.

Maybe the murderer is one of

them'?

Please... my children are over

there!

Let me see!

I'm fine! Let me see!

My children!

- Let me pass.

- I can't.

Why not'? It's my house.

We saw two cars arrive.

One of them stopped, put their hand

out the window and started shooting.

There were three shots and

then they left.

And Who did it?

A kid. Maybe 14 or 15 years

old.

"There are 11

left. "

They are going to come for 11

more.

That's it.

We'll have to walk.

This is going to be a b*tch.

Get behind the line.

They killed him!

In this last year, many of my

colleagues have quit

out of fear and insecurity.

I know the danger that we are in

as crime scene investigators.

But this is my job.

It's what I like to do.

And so I refused to quit.

I was born here in Juarez.

My father was born in Juarez

too.

It's a beautiful city

and very sincere.

Six or seven years ago, This was a

very different city than today.

Now there are no jobs.

There are no businesses

they have closed because of

extorsion.

So many innocent people here

have lost their lives

for being in the wrong place.

The only way I can help this

city

is through my work.

We'll be right there.

You are probably asking, as are

other Mexicans, if this can change.

And my answer is "yes. "

Yes it can change.

Things can change, and they

will change for the better.

It's Mexican weed with an

American name.

Wow it smells nice.

Like the scent of a woman.

Thanks to the f***ing weed.

You take it like this, right'?

A little gift, a bonus.

The guy liked the corrido and he

gave me a weapon. That's how it is.

1... 2... 3... BuKnas!

What song does this f***ing

bazooka remind you of'?

With an AK-47 and a bazooka on

my shoulder.

Cross my path and I'll chop

your head off.

We're bloodthirsty, crazy,

and we like to kill!

What violent people in El Paso,

Texas!

That's why we are

as disturbing as ever.

This song is what we are all

about!

With an AK-47 and a bazooka on

my shoulder.

Cross my path and I'll chop

your head off.

We're bloodthirsty, crazy,

and we like to kill!

We are the best at kidnapping.

Our gang always travels in a

caravan.

With bullet proof vests, ready

to execute!

I'm number one, code name "M1"

I'm backed up by El Chapo.

My name is Manuel Torres Felix

sending greetings from

Culiacn.

SEMEFO consists of the forensic

medical service,

criminal investigation field

work

the ballistic laboratory

the chemical laboratory

the genetics department

criminal identification

and vehicle identification,

among others.

Right now we are the busiest forensic

department in this country and the world.

We have two bodies. Completely

burned.

Completely burned'? Damn.

Copy that.

It's difficult to work on the bodies here.

We can't get them out.

It'll be safer to do back in

the lab.

The men in the car were first

executed by shooting.

Then they were doused in gasoline, and the

truck was left burning for everyone to see.

Revenge is something we've

experienced first hand.

On June 3rd, 2010, my colleague

Juan Luis was assassinated.

He was gunned down in front

of his house after work.

A month later, Saul Chavez left the office

to go pick up his kids from school.

He was murdered as he waited

outside.

Oscar Miranda was the third

member of the unit we lost.

The hitmen unloaded over 40 rounds from

automatic weapons in front of his home.

They were all killed on their

way to or from the office.

I just saw a suspicious car

outside.

When was this'?

Right now. I just got back.

You should contact

the coordinator and the boss

and tell them...

F***.

Do you have your radio'?

Those were gun shots.

High caliber.

If you see any action or anything

just call us so we can send you 23.

Thank you.

Wait, just let me check.

You always go out with a prayer

on your lips.

You never know when things will

happen.

You always have to

look what vehicles are at your

side.

If you see a strange car...

Look, that one doesn't have

plates.

Those are the kind of vehicles

that we're really scared of.

This is the risk of working
