(Scene: A café in Alborn, MN. Marie sits alone, reviewing photos on her camera. Hunter approaches.) Marie: "Pardon ? Je ne parle pas anglais... Vous m'avez fait peur. C'était horrible." (Translation: Sorry? I don’t speak English... You startled me. It was horrible.) Hunter: "I’m sorry. I don’t understand. Are you Marie? The French student?" Marie: "Oui. Marie. Je ne comprends pas ce que vous dites. Vous êtes de la police ?" (Translation: Yes. Marie. I don’t understand what you’re saying. Are you police?) Hunter: "Detective Hunter. I need to ask you about the apple festival. About what you saw." Marie: "Le festival ? J’y étais. Je photographiais la rivière, les pommes... et puis j’ai vu un homme. Il portait une veste rouge." (Translation: The festival? I was there. I was photographing the river, the apples... and then I saw a man. He was wearing a red jacket.) Hunter: "Okay, okay. Slow down. I— I don’t speak French. Did you see something bad?" Marie: "Oui. Très mauvais. Il a disparu. Près de l’eau. J’ai entendu un cri." (Translation: Yes. Very bad. He disappeared. Near the water. I heard a scream.) Hunter: "A scream? You heard a scream? At the river?" Marie: "Oui ! Oui ! Regardez. Là. Sur la photo. Vous voyez ?" (Translation: Yes! Yes! Look. There. In the photo. Do you see?) Hunter: "Your camera. You want me to look? Is this the missing man?" Marie: "Je ne sais pas. Mais il regardait quelque chose. Et puis... plus rien. J’ai peur. Il m’a peut-être vue." (Translation: I don’t know. But he was looking at something. And then... nothing. I’m scared. He might have seen me.) Hunter: "I can’t understand you, but I can see you’re scared. Just stay here. I’m going to find someone who speaks French." Marie: "Non ! Attendez ! Ne partez pas. Les photos sont importantes. Il faut les regarder maintenant !" (Translation: No! Wait! Don’t leave. The photos are important. You have to look at them now!) Hunter: "I’m not leaving. I just—" (His phone rings.) Hunter: "Hunter. ... What? Where? ... Alright. I’m on my way. Secure the scene. Don’t touch anything." (He hangs up.) Hunter: "Marie, I have to go. Stay here. We’ll talk later. Okay? Stay." Marie: "Attendez ! S’il vous plaît ! Vous ne comprenez pas... Il va revenir !" (Translation: Wait! Please! You don’t understand... He’s going to come back!) Hunter: "I’ll be back. I promise."
