A man crashes his car into a truck, he's dragged out of the car (with blood on his face), he's tied up, and his fingers are shot off (we see the fingers separate from the hand and a very bloody stump). A man is shot repeatedly (we see bullet holes in his forehead and chest) and he falls back into a swimming pool. A man is tied to the back of a car, we hear that he has an explosive device in his rectum, and we see and hear an explosion later suggesting that he has been blown up. A man shoots a man, asks him questions, shoots him again, asks him more questions then shoots him in the chest killing him.

A dead body that has been decapitated floats in a pool with a lot of blood around its neck and we see a bloody sword.
