==Mission==
 
==Mission==
Victor arrives at Lance's apartment. Just as Lance enters with a new suit. Vic calls [[Jerry Martinez]] and thanks him for the drug shipment he stole from him but Martinez tells him the coke belonged to the [[Diego and Armando Mendez|Mendez brothers]] and that they are going to kill anyone involved in it including Martinez himself. Vic angrily starts shouting at Lance just as Lance finds out that he's got a buyer who'll buy the drugs. The two drive over to the [[North Point Mall]] in [[Vice Point]] and [[Spitz]] (the buyer) needs a stuntman to finish a stunt movie for him inside the mall. Vic decides to do the stunts while Spitz and Lance do their drug trade. He first kills all the zombies with a [[Pump Action Shotgun|shotgun]] and then in the second scene the zombies are invading a recording store where Vic kills them all with a [[Katana]]. Once finished Vic and Lance both drive over to Lance's apartment in [[Ocean Beach]] to pickup the rest of the drugs but upon arriving they find out that their [[Janet Vance|mother]] has taken all the drugs. The mission is based on the filming of the original 1978 Dawn of the Dead as well as the 1985 film Day of the Dead. Dawn was filmed in a shopping mall, however it was located in Pennsylvania. Day of the Dead was filmed in Florida, however the plot unfolds mostly underground. It is inferred that while Vic is filming, Lance is negotiating a cocaine deal with the director, whom is obviously based on George Romero.
