Hunter: "Miss? Detective Hunter, Alborn Sheriff's Department. You’ve been taking pictures around the Jensen orchard?" Selvi: *tightening grip on camera* "Police? Oh Bhagwan... maine socha tha yeh sapna hai..." (Police? Oh God... I thought this was a dream...) Hunter: "I need to ask about last night. During the festival setup. Did you see anything unusual at the cider barn?" Selvi: "Kal raat... haan, main wahan thi. Photography ke liye..." (Last night... yes, I was there. For photography...) Hunter: "I'm sorry, I don't speak Hindi. Do you know any English at all? Any?" Selvi: *shaking head frantically* "Nahi... sirf thodi si... nahi..." (No... only a little... no...) Hunter: "Alright. Look." *makes walking motion with two fingers* "Person. Man. Did you see a man?" Selvi: "Aadmi? Haan! Bada aadmi... usne kuch khichta hua... jaise koi cheez..." (Man? Yes! A big man... he was pulling something... like an object...) Hunter: "Pulling? Dragging? Was someone hurt?" Selvi: *thrusting camera at him* "Photo! Yeh dekho... ped ke peeche... woh chaya..." (Photo! Look at this... behind the tree... that shadow...) Hunter: *squinting at screen* "I see apple trees. It's just the orchard in the dark." Selvi: "Nahi! Woh aadmi... uska haath... aur phir woh gayab ho gaya... hawa mein..." (No! That man... his hand... and then he disappeared... into the air...) Hunter: "Disappeared? Miss, three people have vanished from this town in two weeks. If you witnessed something—" Selvi: *voice trembling* "Teen log? Toh agla number mera?" (Three people? So I'm next?) Hunter: "I can't understand you. This is useless." *rubs temples* "Camera. May I?" Selvi: "Haan, lekin savdhaan... usmein woh..." (Yes, but be careful... in it, he...) Hunter: "The lens is cracked. I can't make out anything except branches." Selvi: *pointing urgently* "Wahan! Uss jagah par... flash ke roshni mein..." (There! At that spot... in the flash of light...) Hunter: *phone rings* "Hunter. ... You're kidding. When did they find it? ... I'm at the Bean Counter. ... Ten minutes." Hunter: "I have to go. They found something down by the creek." Selvi: *grabbing his sleeve* "Please mat jao! Woh yahin hai... mujhe lag raha hai..." (Please don't go! He's here... I can feel it...) Hunter: "I'm sorry. I need a translator, and I need one now, but this can't wait." *pulls out card* "Stay here. Don't leave. Don't delete those photos." Selvi: "Aap wapas aaoge?" (Will you come back?) Hunter: "Just... stay put. I'll send Officer Chen. She speaks Punjabi—maybe close enough?" Selvi: "Jaldi kijiye... dar lag raha hai..." (Please hurry... I'm scared...) Hunter: "Yeah. Me too." *rushes out*
