**SCENE CONTEXT:** Alborn, MN. Autumn leaves settling on the pavement outside the cafe. Inside, the warm hum of coffee belonging to the "Apple Side" of Alborn. Marie sits on a bench, her large lens Bapak catching the afternoon light. Hunter enters, coat damp with rain. Marie is focused on her camera; she does not see him at first. **VOICE SHEET** Marie: `[French Eyes] "J'ai pris la photo avant..."` *(English Translation for Reader: "I took the photo before...")* Hunter: "Excuse me. Do you speak English?" *(Note: Marie shakes her head, raising an eyebrow in confusion. No English spoken.)* Marie: `[French] "Je suis... effrayée."` *(English Translation for Reader: "I am... scared.")* Hunter: "Scared? Of what?" *(Hunter pulls up a translation app on his phone as Marie continues to speak in French.)* Marie: `[French] "Lieu sombre. Les amis..."` *(English Translation for Reader: "Dark place. The friends...")* Hunter: `[Phone Text Sound]` ... *"She says they disappeared in a location she doesn't know."* *(Hunter nods, broken silence between them as the phone translates her questions.)* Marie: `[French] "Je veux savoir qui sont tes amis."` *(English Translation for Reader: "I want to know who your friends are.")* Hunter: "I don't know who her friends are. What do you mean?" *(Hunter tries to type back to the phone, but Marie is already moving her mouth again.)* Marie: `[French] "It was blue. The van."` *(English Translation for Reader: "It was blue. The van.")* Hunter: "Blue van." *(He makes a quick note.)* Marie: `[French] "Je ne peux pas rester."` *(English Translation for Reader: "I cannot stay here.")* Hunter: "You don't speak English." *(He looks at Marie, trying to understand the urgency through a third party app.)* Marie: `[French] "Je vais partir."` *(English Translation for Reader: "I am going to leave.")* Hunter: "Okay. I'll... check out that van route. Wait, Marie?" *(Hunter pauses. Reviews the notification on his screen.)* Marie: `[French] "Fermê à 23 heures."` *(English Translation for Reader: "Closes at 11 PM.")* Hunter: "Understood. I won't wait for you tonight." *(Hunter receives a page for an incoming call from Chief of Police at that exact second.)* Hunter: "Incoming. I have to take this." *(Hunter nods once. Stops typing.)* Marie: `[French] "Merci."` *(English Translation for Reader: "Thank you.")* Hunter: "Goodbye, Mari... Marie? No, *Marie*." *(Hunter waves subtly. Phone rings loudly.)* Hunter: "Hunter out." *(Hunter ends the connection. Leaves through the door.)*
