Selvi: *(murmuring to herself, scrolling through photos)* "यह क्या है... मैंने यह कब खींची?" *(What is this... when did I take this?)* Hunter: "Excuse me, miss. Mind if I ask you a few questions? I'm Detective Hunter, Alborn PD." Selvi: *(looking up, startled)* "ओह—हाँ? आप... आप पुलिस से हैं?" *(Oh—yes? You... you're from the police?)* Hunter: "Police, yeah. You speak any English?" Selvi: "मुझे अंग्रेज़ी नहीं आती। माफ़ कीजिए।" *(I don't know English. I'm sorry.)* Hunter: *(rubbing the back of his neck)* "Okay. Great. No English. Just my luck." Selvi: *(leaning forward, voice trembling, clutching her camera)* "पर मैंने कुछ देखा। कल रात, झील के पास। मैंने तस्वीरें ली थीं—देखिए, देखिए!" *(But I saw something. Last night, near the lake. I took pictures—look, look!)* Hunter: "Whoa, slow down. I'm not following any of that." Selvi: *(turning the camera screen toward him with shaking hands)* "यह आदमी—वो लड़की को खींच कर ले जा रहा था। और फिर... फिर वो गायब हो गए।" *(This man—he was dragging a girl away. And then... then they vanished.)* Hunter: *(squinting at the screen)* "Hold on. That's—is that out by Miller's Lake? Who is that?" Selvi: "मुझे डर लग रहा है। मैं अकेली थी वहाँ।" *(I'm scared. I was alone out there.)* Hunter: "You're shaking. Hey, it's alright. Just—breathe. Can you... can you point? Where? Where was this?" Selvi: *(pointing north, eyes welling up)* "उस तरफ। पेड़ों के पीछे। मैंने पहले किसी को नहीं बताया, क्योंकि मुझे लगा कोई मेरी बात नहीं समझेगा।" *(That way. Behind the trees. I haven't told anyone, because I thought no one would understand me.)* Hunter: "North. Trees. Okay, that—that I got. This is the third lead near that lake." Selvi: "कृपया, आप कुछ कीजिए। वो लड़की... मुझे नहीं पता वो कहाँ है।" *(Please, do something. That girl... I don't know where she is.)* Hunter: *(leaning in, pointing at the camera, then at himself)* "These photos. I need these. Can you—send? Email? Anything?" Selvi: *(nodding quickly, wiping her eyes)* "हाँ, हाँ। मैं भेज सकती हूँ। बस मुझे बताइए कैसे।" *(Yes, yes. I can send them. Just tell me how.)* Hunter: "I don't know what you just said, but you nodded, so I'm gonna take that as a yes." Selvi: *(a small, nervous laugh)* "हम एक-दूसरे की बात नहीं समझ पा रहे, फिर भी आप सुन रहे हैं। शुक्रिया।" *(We can't understand each other, yet you're listening. Thank you.)* Hunter: *(softening)* "You're a good witness, kid. Wish I had a translator right about—" *(Hunter's phone buzzes loudly. He glances at it, his expression hardening.)* Hunter: "Hunter. ...What? Where? ...No, keep everyone back. I'm two minutes out." Selvi: *(watching his face change)* "क्या हुआ? कुछ बुरा हुआ क्या?" *(What happened? Did something bad happen?)* Hunter: *(standing, already grabbing his jacket)* "I gotta go. Look—" *(he sets a business card on the table, tapping it twice)* "—me. Call me. Find someone who speaks Hindi. Okay? Okay." Selvi: *(picking up the card, holding it tightly)* "मैं ढूँढूँगी किसी को। मैं आपसे फिर बात करूँगी।" *(I'll find someone. I'll talk to you again.)* Hunter: "Don't go back to that lake. You understand? No—" *(he points at her, then shakes his head, then points away from the north)* "—no lake." Selvi: *(nodding, frightened)* "ठीक है। झील नहीं। मैं समझ गई।" *(Okay. No lake. I understand.)* Hunter: *(backing toward the door)* "Good. Stay safe. I mean it." Selvi: *(softly, as he leaves)* "आप भी संभल कर रहिए, डिटेक्टिव।" *(You stay safe too, Detective.)*
