**INT. CAFE - DAY** *The cafe is bustling with the quiet chatter of locals and the occasional clink of coffee cups. MARIE sits alone at a table by the window, her camera resting next to her untouched cup of coffee. She flips through the images on the camera's screen, her face a mix of concentration and concern. HUNTER enters the cafe, his eyes scanning the room before landing on Marie. He approaches her with a determined stride.* **HUNTER** *(Approaching Marie's table)* Excuse me, miss? I'm Detective Hunter. I'm investigating some recent events in town, and I was hoping you might have seen something unusual. *Marie looks up, her eyes wide with surprise. She opens her mouth to speak but then seems to remember she's in a country where she doesn't speak the language.* **MARIE** *(Shaking her head, speaking in French)* Je suis désolée, je ne parle pas anglais. *Hunter's brow furrows, clearly not understanding. He pulls out a notepad, ready to take notes.* **HUNTER** I don't suppose you speak English? We've had a few mysterious disappearances, and any information could be helpful. *Marie tries again, her voice trembling slightly as she speaks in French, gesturing to her camera.* **MARIE** *(Speaking in French)* Disparitions? J'ai peut-être vu quelque chose de bizarre hier... avec mon appareil photo. *Hunter looks at the camera and then back at Marie, his confusion deepening.* **HUNTER** Look, I don't understand a word you're saying. Do you have any pictures that might help the investigation? *Marie nods vigorously and quickly flips through her camera, showing Hunter a series of photographs. He leans in, examining the images closely.* **MARIE** *(Pointing at a photo, speaking in French)* Regardez, c'était juste avant le coucher du soleil. Quelqu'un se comportait de manière étrange près du verger. *Hunter studies the photo and then looks back at Marie with a mix of frustration and gratitude.* **HUNTER** I'm not sure what you're saying, but these photos could be important. Can I take them with me? *Marie nods again, her expression relieved that she might be able to help despite the language barrier.* **MARIE** *(Speaking in French)* Bien sûr, prenez-les. J'espère que cela aidera. *Just as Hunter is about to respond, his phone rings. He pulls it out, glances at the screen, and stands up.* **HUNTER** I've got to take this. Thank you for your help, miss. We'll be in touch. *Hunter heads outside to take the call, leaving Marie at the table, her eyes following him with a mix of worry and hope.* **MARIE** *(Whispering to herself in French)* S'il vous plaît, trouvez-les... **FADE OUT.**
