# Voice Sheet: Cafe Scene **Hunter:** "Excuse me, miss? Mind if I sit down for a moment? I'm Detective Hunter with the county sheriff's office." **Selvi:** *(looking up from her camera, startled)* "Oh... hello?" **Hunter:** "I'm investigating the disappearance of Margaret Chen. She went missing two nights ago, right around this area. Were you here that evening? Did you happen to see anything unusual?" **Selvi:** *(her expression shifting to troubled recognition)* "हां... हां, मैं यहां थी। मैंने कुछ देखा था उस रात। एक आदमी... वो उस औरत के साथ था। बहुत अजीब लग रहा था सब कुछ।" **Hunter:** *(frowning, leaning forward)* "I'm sorry, I don't... I didn't catch that. Do you speak English?" **Selvi:** *(shaking her head, gesturing with her hands)* "English... no. थोड़ा थोड़ा।" *(holds fingers close together to indicate 'a little')* "मैं समझा नहीं सकती। काश मैं बता पाती आपको।" **Hunter:** "Okay, okay. Let me try this differently. That night—" *(holds up two fingers)* "—two days ago. You saw something?" **Selvi:** *(nodding vigorously, tapping her camera)* "हां! Photo! Photo!" *(scrolling through her camera, looking frustrated)* "लेकिन अंधेरा था... कुछ साफ नहीं आया।" **Hunter:** "Photos? You took photos? Can I see?" **Selvi:** *(showing him the camera screen, dark blurry images)* "देखिए... यहां। कुछ दिख रहा है? मुझे डर लग रहा था उस रात।" **Hunter:** *(squinting at the screen)* "It's too dark. I can't make out... is that a person? A car?" **Selvi:** *(pulling back, hugging her camera)* "वो आदमी... उसने मुझे देख लिया था। मुझे लगता है वो जानता है कि मैंने देखा उसे।" **Hunter:** *(noting her fearful body language)* "Hey, it's alright. You're safe. I just wish I could understand what you're trying to tell me." **Selvi:** *(pointing to herself, then miming looking through a camera, then pointing to her eyes)* "मैंने देखा। I... see." **Hunter:** "You saw something. Yeah, I'm getting that much—" *(Hunter's phone rings loudly)* **Hunter:** *(checking the screen, sighing)* "Damn it. I have to take this." *(answering)* "Hunter here... What? When? I'm on my way." **Selvi:** *(watching him anxiously)* "क्या हुआ?" **Hunter:** *(standing, pulling out a business card and pressing it into her hand)* "Look, don't go anywhere, okay? I need to find someone who can translate. This is my card—my number. Call me. *Call.*" *(mimes phone to ear)* **Selvi:** *(taking the card, nodding slowly)* "ठीक है... मैं कोशिश करूंगी।" **Hunter:** *(already moving toward the door, looking back)* "Stay safe. I'll be back." **Selvi:** *(quietly, to herself as she watches him leave)* "काश तुम समझ पाते... मुझे पता है उस आदमी का चेहरा।"
