David is polite, warm and friendly toward the family, and Mrs. Peterson offers to let him stay as long as he needs to. While staying with the family, David hears of Mr. Peterson's troubles at work and witnesses Luke return home with a black eye. With Luke's help, he follows the students that attacked Luke to a bar, humiliates them in a fight, and uses his knowledge of the law to convince the bartender not to tell anyone. David then goes to a party with a reluctant Anna, at which he saves her friend Kristen from her ex-boyfriend, also inquiring about where to buy guns from Anna's friend Craig. On their way home, Anna offers to make David a mix CD. David teaches Luke some self-defense and gives him his butterfly knife. When he goes to buy the guns from Craig and his friend, he kills them both before leaving with the guns and two grenades. An increasingly suspicious Anna calls the military base to ask about David; this alerts a private corporation headed by Major Carver, who considers the matter of great importance and assembles a team of special forces before departing to find David. The base tells Anna that David died a week ago in a fire. Anna is distraught upon hearing that Craig has been killed and her boyfriend Zeke has been blamed for it, and she asks Luke to research the numbers David has called on his "burner" phone. It is revealed that Mr. Peterson's boss and girlfriend are both dead, too, making him the new regional manager. At school, one of the students whom David attacked at the bar bullies Luke; Luke attacks him, and both land in the principal's office. David arrives with Mrs. Peterson and convinces the principal to let Luke off with a month of after-school detention preparing the homecoming dance. Luke tells David in confidence of Anna's suspicions, that she may have told Kristen, and that he knows David must be responsible for the recent murders. Luke says he does not care because of their friendship. While David helps Mrs. Peterson with the laundry, Major Carver's team attack the house and attempt to kill David, who deftly kills everyone except Carver; David kills Mrs. Peterson after apologizing to her. While driving away, he crashes into Mr. Peterson's car, then kills him also after apologizing. Major Carver picks up Anna and informs her that her parents are dead and that David is really a former test subject for a military health program; his mental condition has been "programmed" to, if he believes his identity compromised, kill everyone who could possibly know about it. David kills Kristen, blows up the restaurant she works at with the grenades, and heads for the school to take care of Luke. Carver and Anna also head for the school, set up as a haunted house for the Halloween dance. When Carver and Anna attempt to help Luke escape, David announces his presence by playing Anna's mix CD, then killing Luke's supervising teacher and Carver when the four try to exit the building. Anna shoots David with Carver's gun, but David stabs her in the leg and attempts to choke her; Luke rescues her by stabbing David with his own butterfly knife twice. As he seemingly dies, David tells Luke that he did the right thing and gives him a thumbs-up. While sitting in an ambulance, Anna and Luke overhear the conversation between the firefighters: they found only two corpses that were badly burned with their teeth pulled out. Anna witnesses a firefighter enter the building and then leave; the leaving firefighter appears to Anna to be David. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Guest (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
