"Cloudy With A Chance Of Pain", Way To Die #368, is the second death featured in "Better Them Than Us", which aired on March 16, 2011.
Plot[]
A Russian pimp named Dmitri is preparing to leave with one of his prostitutes named Tina and Sasha. Sasha gets in the car, but locks herself inside; as Dimitri tries to force the door open, the freakiest hailstorm in Russian history occurs, as the car is suddenly pelted with large cement chunks (caused by a failed cloud-seeding experiment to end a running drought, namely attempting to splice cement mix in to speed up the effect) that begin falling from the sky. As Dmitri struggles to get in the car, he is hit in the head by a chunk of cement and dies instantly.
Transcript[]
(Mafia Plot is playing)
Narrator: Tina and Sasha are Russian prostitutes who work for a nasty pimp named Dimitri.
(Dimitri gets back, calls someone)
Narrator: He kept them under lock and key until their services were needed.
(Dimitri unlocks)
Narrator: No matter what country you work in, the pimp game is always the same.
Dimitri: Хорошо пойдем. Я спешу. Не расслабляйся, ты следующий. (Khorosho poydem. YA speshu. Ne rasslablyaysya, ty sleduyushchiy.) (OK, let's go. I am in a hurry. Don't get comfortable, you're next.)
(Dimitri takes Sasha, Funky Intro is playing)
Sugar Free: The nature of a...a pimp is to get money, bottom line is dollar sign so... we wake up, thinking about sending a hole out the door to get smoke. Here in America, where a woman chooses to be with us, she can come and go at will, er... as opposed to Russia, er... I think it's more of a force type of situation.
Narrator: It was Sasha's turn to get her job on.
(Sasha forcefully gets in Dimitri's car)
Narrator: But before Dimitri could get in the car...
(Suddenly, something hard rains, [] is playing)
Sasha: (Scream)
(Dimitri tries to get in the car fast but the door's locked)
Dimitri: Блять! (Blyat'!) (Fuck!)
Narrator: The freakiest rainstorm in Moscow's history came down hard on the abusive pimp.
(Unluckily for Dimitri, one of the chunks hits Dimitri's head, kills him)
Sasha: (Freaks)
Narrator: Dimitri had just fallen victim to a cloud-seeding experiment gone bad.
(The agencies in the cargo plane get rid of the pebbles with shovels in order to make a cloud-seeding operation, Mafia Plot is resuming)
Robert Fovell: Cloud-seeding is pursued by government agencies to alter the rate at which rain is produced. The 2 most common substances used are dry ice and silver iodide, it causes the liquid water to freeze on contact.
Narrator: Russia was in the midst of a terrible drought. The government was so desperate for rain. They tried a new technique by throwing bags of quick dry cement into the mix.
(Amazing Bell Sequence is playing, CGI shows some idiots throwing the dry cement mix off the shovel, the mix magnetizes every ice in the cloud, forming a chunk of concrete, falls onto the human's skull, kills him)
Narrator: The idea was it would help the bonding process in forming ice crystals. The experiment was a failure. Houses, cars and Dimitri's skull got pounded into a pulp by chunks of concrete instead of rain.
(Recap, Bittersweet Ending is playing)
Narrator: Dimitri's strange and improvable death proved one thing,
(The failed cloud seeding rains)
-Narrator: even in Moscow:
-Sasha: (Screams)
Narrator: Здесь трудно... (Zdes' trudno...) (It's hard...)
(Dimitri takes one of the chunks on his head, dies)
Narrator: для сутенера. (dlya sutenera.) (out here for a pimp.)
