He works with the leader, whom the gang had betrayed, to engineer a plan to wreak havoc within the gang and let the gangsters kill one another. But it becomes increasingly obvious to Dave and to his colleagues that Dave is suffering from a severe mental disorder, and Dave finds that instead of upholding the law as a righteous police officer, he has now become a fugitive wanted for murder.
