**Voice Sheet** *Café in Alborn, MN. Isabella sits at a small table, staring at her camera screen. Hunter approaches.* Isabella: *(muttering)* "Non può essere vero... Quella sagoma..." [It can’t be real... That shadowy figure...] Hunter: "Miss? Sorry to interrupt. I’m Detective Hunter. I’m looking into what happened near the old cider barn last night. You were there, weren’t you?" Isabella: *(shaken)* "Sì... io c’ero. Ma non so se... Ho paura." [Yes... I was there. But I don’t know if... I’m scared.] Hunter: "I’m sorry—I don’t speak Italian. Did you say yes?" Isabella: "Sì. Sì." [Yes. Yes.] Hunter: "Okay, good. Did you see anything unusual?" Isabella: "C’era un uomo. Alto. Il cappello scuro tirato giù. Mi ha guardato e poi... è sparito nel bosco. Come un’ombra." [There was a man. Tall. His dark hat pulled low. He looked at me and then... vanished into the woods. Like a shadow.] Hunter: "I caught 'uomo'—man? Tall? Hat? This is going to be difficult." Isabella: *(turns camera toward him)* "Guardi questa foto. L’ho scattata prima che sparisse." [Look at this photo. I took it before he disappeared.] Hunter: "A photo. That helps. I don’t speak Italian, but a picture I can understand. May I borrow this?" Isabella: "Sì, sì, prenda pure. Ma c’è qualcosa di sbagliato nei suoi occhi. Sono vuoti." [Yes, yes, take it. But there’s something wrong with his eyes. They’re empty.] Hunter: "Something wrong with the eyes? I’ll have this looked at. You’re shaking—are you okay?" Isabella: "Non lo so. Non dovrebbe cercarlo da solo. Qualcosa in lui non è... umano." [I don’t know. You shouldn’t look for him alone. Something in him isn’t... human.] Hunter: "Not human? Ma’am, I’m sure there’s an explanation. I’m not going alone—I’ll have backup." Isabella: "Per favore, stia attento. Nel bosco ho sentito un suono... un ronzio. Non era un animale." [Please be careful. In the woods I heard a sound... a hum. It wasn’t an animal.] Hunter: "A hum? Could be a generator or a vehicle. I’ll note it." *(Hunter’s phone rings.)* Hunter: "Excuse me. Hunter. ... Now? ... Yeah, I’m close. Keep the scene clear. I’ll be there in five." Hunter: *(to Isabella)* "I have to go. Stay in public. Stay near people. Understand? Safe?" Isabella: "Ho capito. Starò qui. Grazie, Detective." [I understand. I’ll stay here. Thank you, Detective.] Hunter: "Okay. We’ll get a translator and talk again soon."
