NARRATOR: People are getting killed in Karachi every day.
There's gang violence, tons of mafia, sectarian killings, and
in more recent years, suicide bombings.
But for the political parties, it's a massive turf war.
And while politicians and businessmen would never admit
that they engage in assassinating their rivals,
someone is hiring the so-called target killers.
We wanted to interview one of the men responsible for this
dirty work, so we arranged a meeting with a target killer.
It was uncomfortable for everyone involved.
We negotiated the terms of the interview--
in a moving car and with his motorcycle helmet on.
And not surprisingly, the guy who kills people for money--
he wanted to get paid.

ASSASSIN: [URDU].
INTERVIEWER: Thank you.
MALE SPEAKER: Well, that was intense.
INTERVIEWER: That was--
yeah, that was really strange sitting next to someone who's
killed 35 people.
And you could just tell from his demeanor and from his
eyes, he was a hard dude.
And there's 600 guys like that roaming around the city.
Anytime anyone has a beef to settle with someone else--
they want to kill them-- just hire one of these guys and
don't pay them that much money, and
they'll do the work.
It's lawless, wild, and chaotic here.
And that is some scary shit.
