The following dialogue takes place at The Apple Core Café in Alborn, Minnesota. Maria is clutching her DSLR camera with trembling hands as Detective Hunter approaches her table. **Hunter:** "Excuse me, ma’am. Detective Hunter, local PD. I noticed you were out by the old Miller orchard yesterday afternoon taking photos. Mind if I ask you a few questions?" **Maria:** "¿Perdón? No... lo siento, no entiendo. No hablo inglés. ¿Es usted de la policía? ¿Es por la chica?" **Hunter:** "I’m going to take that as a 'no' on the English front. Great. Look, I’m investigating a disappearance. A woman went missing near where you were standing. Did you see anything unusual?" **Maria:** "¡Dios mío, fue horrible! Yo solo quería fotos del atardecer, pero vi a un hombre. Estaba arrastrando algo hacia el sótano de la vieja granja. Tenía mucho miedo y me escondí detrás de los árboles." **Hunter:** "Slow down, slow down. I don't speak... whatever that is. Is that Spanish? Look, I need to know if you saw a woman in a red coat. Red. *Rojo?* Is that right?" **Maria:** "¡No, no era rojo! El hombre llevaba una chaqueta oscura, muy pesada. Y ella... ella no se movía. ¡Mire mi cámara! Intenté tomar una foto, pero estaba temblando tanto que salió borrosa. ¡Tiene que ir a la granja ahora mismo!" **Hunter:** "I have no idea what you’re saying, lady. You look like you've seen a ghost. Did you take a picture of her? Can I see the camera? Just let me see the display." **Maria:** "¡No me quite la cámara! Es mi única prueba. ¿Por qué no me escucha? El hombre me vio antes de que yo corriera. Sigo pensando que me está siguiendo. Por favor, ¡ayúdeme!" **Hunter:** "Easy now, I’m not trying to take your gear. I just need—" *(Hunter’s radio chirps loudly, followed by his phone vibrating against his tactical vest. He sighs and pulls it out, checking the ID.)* **Hunter:** "Hunter here. Speak to me. ...What? At the old mill? Are you sure it's the same signature? Dammit. I’m five minutes out. Secure the perimeter and don't let the press near the creek." **Hunter:** "Look, Maria—or whatever your name is—stay right here. Don't leave this café. I’m going to head to the station, find someone who speaks Spanish, and come back for you. Do you understand? Stay. *Quedarse?* Just don't move." **Maria:** "¿Se va? ¡No puede dejarme sola! ¡Ese hombre sabe quién soy! ¡Por favor, no se vaya!" **Hunter:** "I’ll be back. Just keep that camera safe. I've got a situation at the mill." **Maria:** "¡Es un error! ¡No es en el molino, es en la granja! ¡Se está equivocando de camino!"
