Maria: *(scrolling through photos on her camera, murmuring to herself)* "No puede ser... estaba justo aquí. ¿Cómo desapareció así, sin más?" Hunter: "Excuse me, miss. Mind if I sit down for a minute? I'm Detective Hunter, Alborn PD. I'd like to ask you a few questions about what happened by the old mill last night." Maria: *(startled, looking up from her camera)* "¿Perdón? Lo siento, no... no hablo inglés. ¿Es usted policía?" Hunter: *(brow furrowing)* "I'm sorry, I didn't catch any of that. You're not from around here, are you? Do you... speak English at all?" Maria: *(shaking her head, voice trembling)* "No, no inglés. Español. Soy de España. *(gesturing nervously with her hands)* Es que vi algo anoche. Algo terrible. Cerca del río, había una luz y luego... luego ya no estaba la persona." Hunter: "Whoa, slow down. I can tell something's got you shaken up. The mill? *(pointing in the direction of the river)* Did you see something? Last night?" Maria: *(nodding rapidly, eyes wide)* "¡Sí! Sí, el río, el molino. *(turning the camera toward him with shaking hands)* Mire, tengo fotos. Aquí, ¿ve? Había alguien, y después... nada. Desapareció." Hunter: *(leaning in to look at the camera screen, squinting)* "Hang on—these photos. You took these? That's the mill, alright. And that figure there... is that a person?" Maria: *(pointing emphatically at the screen)* "Sí, una persona. Estaba ahí, se lo juro. Y luego en la siguiente foto... *(swiping to the next image)* ¿lo ve? Ya no está. ¡Desapareció en segundos!" Hunter: *(rubbing his jaw, frustrated)* "Damn it, I wish I could understand you. This could be exactly what I've been looking for. *(pulling out a notepad, sliding it across the table)* Can you... write it down? Or—no, that won't help either, will it." Maria: *(taking the notepad, looking at it helplessly, then back at him)* "No sé qué quiere que escriba. *(setting down the pen)* Por favor, necesito que alguien me crea. Tengo miedo." Hunter: *(softening slightly)* "Hey. It's okay. I can see you're scared. *(tapping the camera gently)* These pictures—they're important. I need someone who can translate. There's gotta be somebody in town who—" *(Hunter's phone rings sharply. He glances at the screen.)* Hunter: *(answering)* "Hunter. ...What? When? ...Another one? *(standing abruptly, chair scraping)* I'm on my way. Don't touch anything." *(He hangs up, looking back at Maria.)* Maria: *(rising halfway from her seat, alarmed)* "¿Qué pasa? ¿Pasó algo más? Espere—¡no se vaya!" Hunter: "I'm sorry, I have to go. *(pointing firmly at her, then at the camera)* Stay here. The camera—keep it safe. I'll come back. You understand? *(miming 'wait')* Wait. Here." Maria: *(clutching the camera to her chest, nodding uncertainly)* "Esperar... sí, esperaré. Pero por favor, vuelva. Necesito ayuda." Hunter: *(already backing away toward the door)* "I'll find someone who speaks Spanish, I promise. Just... don't go anywhere." *(He turns and hurries out, the café bell jingling behind him.)* Maria: *(sitting back down slowly, alone, whispering to the empty seat)* "...¿Y ahora qué hago?"
