When Diaz goes to pick up her car at Impound: What Happens?


So while cleaning my room this movie was playing in the background and I saw up to the scene where Diaz's character gets to the impound lot, when the two men she met were taking her there (in a taxi I think). All the way up to where one guy whispered something in her ear which made her look uneasy, and then she asked "where is this place anyways", after that, my lovely Satellite connection cut off, and I missed the next 15 minutes.

So what happens in this scene at that moment?

She got really freaked out because the guys were creeps and she realized that she was in a scary situation. Nothing bad actually happened, but Maggie was scared and thought that something could have happened. The guy came on too strong. It's really left up to the audience to interpret whether the guys would have harmed her or not. Some say Maggie overreacted. But the guys were set up and shown to be kind of creepy from the moment they were introduced.
Anyway, when they actually get to the impound lot and get stopped, Maggie jumps out of the truck that she's in with the two guys. The one guy chases her and grabs at her and kind of pins her against a car for a moment. But she kicks and thrashes and gets away and runs to her sister's car and takes off. (The reason I say it could be interpreted as Maggie overreacting is because all the while, the guys is yelling stuff like "hey, where are you going, what's wrong, you have to pay" And when he holds her down, it could be seen as just trying to get her to be still and calm down.) It's a really well-done scene because of how ambivalent it is)
The next scene is her in Rose's bed with the dog.
