What looks like a killer chasing them through the night turns out to be Mike, Sandy's jealous ex, who pulls Jeffrey from the car and beats him. The fight stops when a naked, injured Dorothy appears, and Jeffrey is left holding a woman he barely knows after someone mutters “I thought you were gonna kill him, man.”
Driving home at night, Jeffrey and Sandy are chased by a car that rams them. Jeffrey can't outrun it and wants to grab his father's gun; Sandy stops him. At Jeffrey's house the pursuer turns out to be Mike, Sandy's jealous ex, who pulls Jeffrey out and beats him. Then Dorothy Vallens stumbles up, naked and hurt, and the fight ends.

Tell me it's all right I opened myself to you.The chase plays on the film's central fear, then swaps it for something smaller and more embarrassing. Jeffrey and Sandy brace for Frank, the killer they have been investigating — “It's Frank,” one of them says, and Jeffrey reaches for a gun — but the danger is a humiliated boyfriend with a grudge: “You stole my girl, you bastard.” Mike's violence is personal and petty, and it opens the door to the film's real wreckage, Dorothy, who arrives naked and bruised and immediately asks Jeffrey to hide her secret. The scene's second half belongs to her: “Tell me it's all right I opened myself to you.” A boy who wanted to play detective is suddenly the one person a wounded woman trusts, and Sandy, seeing it, quietly steps back.
You stole my girl, you bastard. I'm gonna kick your ass.Mike's grievance: he blames Jeffrey for taking Sandy, and the violence is about pride and possession rather than anything Jeffrey actually did.

Promise me you'll help him!Dorothy's single priority is Don. Even naked and hurt, she begs Jeffrey to save her kidnapped husband.
Mike is Sandy's jealous ex-boyfriend. He follows them and blames Jeffrey for taking Sandy, so he forces him out of the car and attacks him.
Mike is Sandy's former boyfriend, a local hothead who turns up at the wrong moment. He is not part of Frank's world; he is a small, personal threat.
She has just escaped whatever Frank's men were doing to her, and she comes to Jeffrey because he is the one person she trusts. She tells him not to call the police.
She means Frank has infected her — physically and emotionally. It is her way of saying what he has permanently taken from her, and it deepens the film's sense of violation.
He thinks the car chasing them belongs to Frank, a killer, and he can't outrun it. Sandy stops him, arguing they should not turn to violence.
