Elsewhere, Cutter is confronted by Sung and his men. Cutter, who is willing to keep the sword, declines, and as a result, he is shot in the head. As Sung is about to pick up the sword, Cutter's wound somehow heals, and decapitates him. Shocked, Sung's men shoots him several times, but not before they can be killed one by one. A phone then rings, it is revealed to be Kwan, who Sung is working for. Not knowing that he is dead, Cutter responds by saying that "Mr. Sung will no longer be calling the shots". After hanging up, he is surprised by the town's inhabits, and manage to kill some of them. Cerberus, who has finally arrived at the town, attacks the inhabits. Cerberus attacks Samantha and Zach. Cutter finds Addams and a final battle ensues. Cutter drops the sword when he misses Addams, and falls to his death when he is thrown off and eaten by Cerberus.
