When Jake recognized them, he immediately forgot the idea of gleaning any information, let alone forming an alliance. They were the assholes who had chased Tim and Sarah weeks earlier.

Under other circumstances, he would have tried to engage in dialogue, but he was not willing to take such a risk.
