1000 Ways To Die Wiki


"I Spy A Dead Guy", Way to Die #519, is the fifth death featured in "Death Certificates", which aired on July 15, 2012.

Plot[]

Jimmy Dugan was a former CIA spy who founded his own business, he made a ton of money stealing corporate secrets, Dugan next job was stealing computer files from software company: ABADDA for a rival software company, a piece of cake for that experienced spy.

Dugan posed as a janitor and waited for the perfect moment for action while he was sweeping the floor in front of a computer room where a man worked, when the man left, Dugan entered and began stealing the files.

But suddenly a security guard came in and asked Dugan what he was doing there, Dugan tried to act like a spy in a movie and escape, but he was acting without a script, Dugan ran to a closet and soon found himself trapped, the guard pointed his gun and started counting to 3 for Dugan to come out with his hands up, there was only one way out for that human trash: the trash chute, Dugan heard the guard say 3 and jumped into the chute, he fell down the pipe and fell into an incinerator full of trash.

The guard opened the door and discovered that Dugan was gone. Dugan didn't know where he was but he knew he didn't want to be there and he was right, an alarm started going off and Dugan started screaming in fear, then the incinerator turned on and burned him alive. The incinerator reached 3000°F in seconds, so he didn't felt pain, as the flames passed through his skin and charred his muscles and bones, his blood boiled and evaporated, and all of his organs collapsed. In simple terms, he cremated himself.

Transcript[]

(the segment starts with the introcard showing the exterior of a garbage incinerator with a barely discernable view of Jimmy Dugan inside it before the words "Date: December 20, 2008" and "Location: Boston, MA" are typed out around it.)

(Jimmy Dugan is trapped with a pile of trash in an unknown dark place)

Narrator: Jimmy Dugan has no idea where he is.

Dugan: Oh no...

Narrator: The only thing he knows, is he doesn't want to be here.

Dugan: This can't be good...

Narrator: He's right about that.

(Dugan hears a siren inside of what is revealed to be a garbage incinerator)

Dugan: What's that noise?!

Narrator: That noise, is the last thing he hears, before he dies.

Dugan: (screams in fear)

(Let's get back to the start of the plot...)

Narrator: But his mission was about to become... impossible.

(Dugan screams in fear again inside the garbage incinerator as if he is calling for help, then cuts to the actual start of the story where it begins in the changing room with Dugan putting on his janitor jumpsuit over his inside shirt)

(Dugan is spotted by a security guard)

(Dugan opens the intake door of the trash chute)

Narrator: There was only one way out for this piece of human trash...

Security Guard: Three!

(Dugan, with no other choice left, hops into the trash chute, only to scream as he falls down until landing on the bottom hinged intake door where he grunts as his fall is cushioned by the same pile of trash in the incinerator and the intake door shuts behind him, much to his dismay)

Narrator: ...and that brings us back, where we started.

(the security guard opens the closest door only to discover Dugan is missing, but it does not get any better from here as it cuts back to Dugan in the incinerator)

Dugan: (proceeding to near the front of the incinerator like before) This can't be good...

Narrator: Dugan was about to go from ex-spook... (the incinerator activates as Dugan screams in fear) ...to exed out.

(Dugan continues screaming in fear as the flames engulf all around him, cremating him)

(Recap, Impression Failure is playing)

Narrator: Dugan chose to use the skills he learned as a spy for a life of crime.

(as Dugan steals the files, the security guard spots him as Dugan reacts in shock)

Security Guard: Hey! What are you doing in here?!

Narrator: In the end, (Dugan screams as he falls down the trash chute into the incinerator) he came in from the cold...

(Dugan screams in fear one last time as he got cremated, and turned into his skeleton surrounded by ashes as it cuts to the aftermath inside the incinerator)

Narrator: ...but couldn't take the heat.

(the segment ends with the deathcard showing an image of Dugan's cremated remains as a skeleton and ashes inside the incinerator before the words "Way To Die #519" and "I Spy A Dead Guy" appear around it)
