**Voice Sheet** *(Selvi speaks only in Hindi — Devanagari text, with English translation provided in parentheses outside the quotes. Hunter speaks only English, as he knows no Hindi. Bracketed text is stage direction.)* *** **Hunter:** "Excuse me. Detective Hunter, Alborn Police. Mind if I sit? I need to ask you about the Apple Festival—about the disappearance of Harlan Buck Saturday night." **Selvi:** "हाँ… वह रात। मैं वहाँ थी, नदी के किनारे। मैंने सब कुछ देख लिया—अपने कैमरे में कैद कर लिया। बहुत डरावना था… मैं अभी भी काँप रही हूँ।" *(Yes… that night. I was there, by the river. I saw everything—captured it in my camera. It was so frightening… I'm still trembling.)* *[troubled, shaken, hands clutching the camera]* **Hunter:** "Whoa, okay. Slow down. English? Do you speak English?" *[confused, glancing around the café]* "Anyone? Hindi? Anyone here speak Hindi?" **Selvi:** "मुझे खेद है, मैं अंग्रेज़ी नहीं समझती। मैं केवल हिंदी बोलती हूँ। आप मुझसे क्या पूछ रहे हैं?" *(I'm sorry, I don't understand English. I only speak Hindi. What are you asking me?)* **Hunter:** "Great. Just perfect. Okay. Ma’am, I need to know what you saw. Harlan Buck—missing man—Apple Festival, Saturday night. Did you see him?" *[He mimes someone walking, then points to her camera.]* "You take picture? Photo? Can I see?" **Selvi:** "हाँ, फोटो! मेरे कैमरे में। देखिए, ये रात को ली गई है—एक काली वैन, और एक आदमी चिल्ला रहा था।" *(Yes, photo! In my camera. Look, this was taken at night—a black van, and a man was screaming.)* *[She holds out the camera, hands shaking.]* **Hunter:** "Okay… okay, this is the access road behind the cider barn. That's the same black van from the traffic cam." *[He looks up, mimes holding a camera, then points to the photo and makes a pained face.]* "When did you take this? Was he hurt?" **Selvi:** "मैं समझ नहीं रही। वह चिल्ला रहा था, फिर कुछ लोगों ने उसे वैन में घसीट लिया। मैं डर के मारे भाग गई। मैंने मदद क्यों नहीं मांगी? मैं…" *(I don't understand. He was screaming, then some people dragged him into the van. I ran away out of fear. Why didn't I ask for help? I…)* *[shaken, voice breaking]* **Hunter:** "I have no idea what you're saying, but this—" *[He taps the camera screen.]* "—this is something. Wait here. Don't move." *[His phone rings. He answers.]* "Hunter." *(beat)* "Yeah, I'm at the café on Main. Got a possible witness and photos." *(beat)* "Copy. On my way." *[He stands, points at her.]* "Stay. Right. Here. Police. Translator." *[He starts to leave.]* **Selvi:** "रुकिए! आप कहाँ जा रहे हैं? मुझे अकेली मत छोड़िए—मैं बहुत डर गई हूँ!" *(Wait! Where are you going? Don't leave me alone—I'm very scared!)* *[calling after him as he exits]*
