During the street brawl, Cutting kills Vallon, orders Vallon's body to remain untouched, and declares the Dead Rabbits outlawed.

He learns many of his father's former lieutenants—particularly "Happy" Jack Mulraney, who has become a corrupt policeman, and McGloin—are now in Cutting's employ, despite his deep anti-Irish and racist views.

His first test was to help Sirocco and his crew loot a ship in the harbor, only to find that the Daybreak Boys had already hit the ship and killed everyone aboard.
