# VOICE SHEET **Scene: Exterior - Main Street Cafe, Alborn, MN. Afternoon.** *Maria sits alone at an outdoor table, clutching her camera. She stares at something on the camera's display screen, her face pale and drawn.* --- *Hunter approaches, his boots crunching on the gravel. He pulls out the chair across from her and sits down uninvited.* **Hunter:** "Excuse me. I'm Detective Hunter. I'm investigating the recent... incidents in this town. I understand you were at the old mill last night." *Maria looks up, startled. Her eyes are red-rimmed.* **Maria:** *(in rapid Spanish, distressed)* "¡No puedo creer lo que vi! ¡Fue horrible! ¡Esa persona estaba ahí y luego... luego simplemente desapareció! ¡Nadie me cree, pero yo vi algo!" **Hunter:** *(brows furrowing, completely lost)* "I'm sorry... what? I don't... hold on." *He pulls out a small notebook, flips through it uselessly.* **Hunter:** "Do you speak English? Español?" *Maria shakes her head frantically, still speaking Spanish.* **Maria:** "¡La cámara! ¡Mira la cámara! ¡Evidence! ¡Evidencia! ¡Something was there!" *She turns the camera toward him, pointing at a blurry image on the screen. Hunter leans in, squinting.* **Hunter:** "That's just... shadows. And a lot of... is that an apple orchard?" **Maria:** *(frustrated, tears forming)* "¡Te digo que vi a alguien! ¡Desapareció en el aire! ¡Como si nunca hubiera existido!" *Hunter runs a hand over his face, sighing.* **Hunter:** "Look, I don't understand a word you're saying. But you're shaking. You were at the mill last night?" *Maria nods vigorously, then mimes someone disappearing into thin air.* **Maria:** "¡Sí! ¡Desapareció! ¡Poof! ¡Like magic!" *Hunter's radio crackles. He holds up a finger to Maria.* **Hunter:** *(into radio)* "Go ahead." *His brow furrows as he listens. He stands abruptly.* **Hunter:** "I have to go. Stay in town. I'll find someone who can translate." *He turns to leave, then pauses, looking back at the frightened woman.* **Hunter:** "The camera... keep it safe. Whatever you saw—it's important." *Maria nods, clutching her camera to her chest as Hunter rushes off.* **Maria:** *(quietly, to herself)* "Por favor... alguien tiene que creerme." *She stares after him, then back at the mysterious image on her camera screen.* --- **END SCENE**
