On May 25, 2009, in Scranton, PA. A woman lies about her welding experience so she can get a job. When her boss discovers she had lied, he fires the woman. To prove her welding ability, she welds her boss's car door shut and runs to her van. But she accidentally places her welding gear with the nozzle opened, filling the van with flammable gas.

Caterina
On June 25, 1580, in Verona, Italy. An Italian statesman suspects his wife of being unfaithful and puts her in a chastity belt to keep other men away from her. One of the woman's lovers comes up with a plan to slip off the chastity belt by soaking her in a tub of oil and water. The belt comes off and the two have sex. This process is repeated for several days, causing scratches on the woman's skin from the rust, which gives her a fatal tetanus infection.

Niccolo
On September 8, 1928, in Little Italy, NY. A son of a black market booze dealer enters a steam room in a bathhouse with a gun hidden under a towel in order to kill the person who shot his father in the head. Two men inside the room seem to recognize the gunman, so one man asks his name. After the gunman reveals his name, he pulls out the gun, but slips on the seat and fires a bullet into a steam pipe. The man falls in front of the leaking steam pipe, which sends steam heated on him. The steam melts half of his face, and he dies in minutes/seconds.

After getting slapped in the face, the wife leaves the kitchen. The mother-in-law tries to take a frozen pizza out of the freezer, but the box is wedged between other groceries, and the force of the mother-in-law's tugging sends the refrigerator crashing down on her. The sharp end of the freezer door pierces her throat while the rest of the refrigerator crushes her body.

During the slow-speed chase, the woman tries to lose the officer by driving on a lawn. The woman hits a rock and falls off the mower.
