<P> A separate story , `` Mob of the Dead '' , taking place also in Dimension 63 , focuses on four mobsters : Salvatore `` Sal '' DeLuca , Billy Handsome , Michael `` Finn '' O'Leary , and Albert `` The Weasel '' Arlington , who are incarcerated at Alcatraz Island . On New Year 's Eve 1933 , the four attempt to escape the prison , using Weasel 's plan to build a makeshift airplane called Icarus . However , the prison becomes infested with zombies , and they are forced to fight their way out . They succeed in building the airplane , but crash - land at the Golden Gate Bridge . They are then teleported back to the prison , with no memories of their previous attempt ( except Weasel , who keeps a journal of the ongoing events ) . They continuously try to escape , but the result remains the same . After many failures , they discover that they were actually stuck in Purgatory , constantly repeating a cycle as punishment for their past sins . In reality , the escape plan never came to fruition , and Weasel was killed by the other three on New Year 's Eve , while the rest were given the death penalty weeks later . Having remembered the truth , Sal , Billy and Finn set out to kill Weasel once again . Two possible endings can occur : if Weasel is killed , the cycle repeats once again ; if Weasel lives and the other three are killed , the cycle is broken , and he is finally freed of his punishment . </P>
