Selvi: *(startled, looks up from her camera)* Hunter: "Excuse me, miss. I'm Detective Hunter. I hate to bother you, but I need to ask you a few questions about what happened at Miller's Creek last night." Selvi: "Maafi kijiye? Aap... aap kaun hain?" *(I'm sorry? You... who are you?)* Hunter: "Did you witness anything out there? Anyone acting unusual?" Selvi: "Mujhe Hindi mein baat karni hogi, mujhe English nahi aati." *(I need to speak in Hindi, I don't know any English.)* "Main... main samajh nahi pa rahi." *(I don't understand you.)* Hunter: "Ma'am, this is important. People are missing." Selvi: *(visibly shaken, gripping her camera tightly)* "Maine kuch dekha tha... raat ko, wahan... woh log... woh bas gayab ho gaye. Achanak." *(I saw something... at night, out there... those people... they just vanished. Suddenly.)* Hunter: *(leaning forward, frustrated)* "I'm sorry, I genuinely cannot understand you. Does anyone here speak—" Selvi: *(voice trembling)* "Bahut bura tha. Main bahut dara gayi thi. Itna andhera tha aur phir... phir kuch nahi." *(It was terrible. I was so scared. It was so dark and then... then nothing.)* Hunter: *(noticing her distress, softening slightly)* "Hey. It's okay. You're safe." *(points to her camera)* "Were you... taking pictures? Out there?" Selvi: *(looks down at camera, then back at him, eyes wide)* "Hanji... hanji, meri tasveerein hain... lekin jo maine dekha—" *(Yes... yes, I have photographs... but what I saw—)* Hunter: *(points at camera again, slowly)* "Photos? Can I see?" Selvi: *(pulls camera back instinctively, then pauses, studying his face)* "Aap... police hain? Kya aap samajh rahe hain jo main keh rahi hoon?" *(You... are police? Do you understand what I'm saying?)* Hunter: "I can see you're scared. Whatever you saw, it matters." *(taps his badge, then points to her camera again)* "Please." Selvi: *(hesitates, then slowly holds the camera out)* "Theek hai. Dekhiye. Lekin yeh sab dekh ke mujhe abhi bhi darr lagta hai." *(Alright. Look. But seeing all of this still frightens me.)* Hunter: *(peers at the camera screen, expression darkening)* Selvi: "Woh log kahan gaye? Koi nahi jaanta. Main akeli thi wahan aur mujhe samajh nahi aaya kya ho raha tha." *(Where did those people go? Nobody knows. I was alone out there and I couldn't understand what was happening.)* Hunter: *(phone buzzes loudly, he glances at the screen and his jaw tightens)* "Hunter here." *(pause)* "How long ago?... Don't touch anything. I'm on my way." *(hangs up, looks at Selvi)* "I have to go. I'm sorry." *(slides a card across the table)* "Don't leave town, okay? Please." Selvi: *(takes the card, confused)* "Aap ja rahe hain? Abhi? Ruko — main aapko aur kuch batana chahti thi—" *(You're leaving? Now? Wait — I wanted to tell you more—)* Hunter: *(already standing, pointing firmly at the card)* "Call that number." Selvi: *(watches him rush out, looks down at his card, then at her camera)* "Woh nahi samjhe... koi nahi samjha." *(He didn't understand... nobody understood.)*
