Beatys abusive former lover, the father of her son and possibly her pimp is Alex Paul Angelis, a strongarm gorilla type fresh out of prison also arrives, needing a place to stay. Alex is clearly a brutish psychopath who threatens Beaty and Emorys future. Emory and Beatys two past companions could not be more different, Max is sophisticated, articulate, stylish and outspoken. Alex is a working class English thug, quiet, simple and burning with violent rage. Beaty rebuffs Alexs desire to rekindle whatever they had and this enrages him. He does however agree to be part of Max and Emorys caper believing it to be gun smuggling.On the day of the caper, Max, Emory and Alex end up in a car together with Max continuously taunting Alex. Alex finally has enough and shoots Max dead in the car. Emory and Alex dispose of the body and it becomes apparent that Alex is aware of Emorys intention to take Beaty and her son away. He is resigned to this and insists that Emory take some surplus cash found on Maxs body. Emory drops Alex off with the smuggled drugs where Alex promises to take care of kill the drugs intended recipients to keep them from bothering Alex, Emory or Beaty. When Emory and Beaty first reunite, she refuses to leave the country with him, citing a concern about her son, clearly having trouble uprooting and letting go of her past even though with the proceeds from the smuggling, they will be well set up and she will never have to work at her past profession again. ........
