The Guest

Alex brings the dog to the beach. She swims in rough waters, finding momentary release from the pressures she faces on land. She has one more night before Simon’s party, and her phone is working again, so she feels more positive about her situation. When she returns to shore, the dog is gone.

Jack isn’t angry about her losing the dog. They take the molly Max gave Jack. Alex lets him kiss her because she thinks she owes him one more night before she disappears from his life. Jack reads the opening of Siddhartha to Alex. The drugs make him feel happy to be with Alex but also sadly alone.

Alex wakes up to her phone ringing. Dom is calling, and this time, Alex answers. She tells him that she can’t pay him back and that everything is gone. His calmness frightens her. Dom tells her that he knows she’s staying with Simon.

When Jack insists on knowing who called Alex, she tells him that she owes a guy money. Jack comes up with a plan. He knows the code to his dad’s safe, where his dad stashes cash. Alex is affectionate with Jack on their last night together.
