When Gloria first entered the atrium, she placed a phone call to her lover,
telling him/her that "he" hit her again (we come to realize that the person
who hit her was her husband, Alexander/Sam). So there was a previous reference
to her lover.

I've seen this movie seven times, twice in the last 2 weeks, in fact once last
night and the Indian isn't visible in Gloria's house until after Jake hangs up.
Jake is preoccupied watching Gloria and the policeman in her house. When he
hangs up, the Indian and his drill appear.
