In early 1950, Freddie Quell is a sex-obsessed alcoholic Navy veteran struggling to adjust to post-war society in the wake of World War II.

Dodd begins an exercise with Freddie called "processing," in which he asks Freddie a flurry of disturbing psychological questions.

Freddie pursues the man and assaults him, to Dodd's dismay.
