Melanie: "Entschuldigung? Ich verstehe nicht." (Excuse me? I don't understand.) *(She clutches her camera to her chest, eyes darting toward the cafe window.)* Hunter: "I'm Detective Hunter. I'm investigating the recent disappearances. Did you see anything unusual near the orchard?" Melanie: "Der Wald? Ich habe... Geräusche gehört." (The woods? I heard... noises.) *(Her hands tremble as she adjusts the lens on her camera.)* Hunter: "Noises? What kind of noises? Was it the apple festival crowd?" Melanie: "Nein. Nicht die Menge. Es war spät." (No. Not the crowd. It was late.) *(She shakes her head vigorously, her German flowing fast and panicked.)* Hunter: "I don't speak German, ma'am. Just nod if you saw a vehicle." Melanie: "Ich spreche kein Englisch." (I don't speak English.) *(She points to the camera, then taps the screen.)* "Hier. Ich habe es fotografiert." (Here. I photographed it.) Hunter: "Can you show me the picture? It could help find the missing girls." Melanie: "Ich kann es nicht zeigen. Nicht in der Öffentlichkeit." (I can't show it. Not in public.) *(She looks around nervously, lowering her voice.)* Hunter: "Look, I need to know if you saw a dark van. Blue or black?" Melanie: "Schwarz. Ohne Licht." (Black. Without lights.) *(She mimes a car moving silently in the dark.)* Hunter: "Okay. Okay, that helps. I need your contact information." Melanie: "Nein. Ich gehe jetzt." (No. I am leaving now.) *(She begins to pack her bag quickly.)* Hunter: "Wait, please. Just one more—" *(His phone buzzes loudly on the table. He looks at the screen.)* "I have to take this." Melanie: "Bitte gehen Sie." (Please go.) *(She stands up, gathering her camera.)* Hunter: "I'll be back later. Don't leave town." *(He grabs his phone and heads for the door.)*
