He starts his story one night where he is investigating shipment docks, and assaults a police officer who claims to be working undercover. Dooney is a corrupt detective whose crack smoking, and having a prostitute in his company, leads Defendor to believe that he is under the employ of his arch nemesis, named Captain Industry.
