Marie: "[Seated at the café table, she studies the screen of her camera.] Pardon?" Hunter: "Marie? Detective Hunter. I’m asking people about the woman who disappeared after the apple festival. Did you see her?" Marie: "Vous êtes le détective? Je l’ai vue au festival. Près du vieux verger. Elle avait l’air terrifiée." Hunter: "I’m sorry—I don’t speak French. Did you see her or not?" Marie: "Je l’ai vue. Et quelqu’un la suivait." Hunter: "You saw her at the orchard?" Marie: "[She nods, then taps the camera.] Regardez. Cette photo—là, derrière les pommiers." Hunter: "This one? Is that the missing woman?" Marie: "Non, pas elle. L’autre silhouette. Je ne l’avais pas remarquée avant." Hunter: "There’s someone behind the trees?" Marie: "[She turns the camera toward him, pointing at a dark shape in the background.] Oui… Il était là. Je vous le promets." Hunter: "I can’t understand you, but I see the figure. Can you tell where they were standing?" Marie: "[She takes a napkin and sketches a rough row of trees, then marks a spot near the edge.] Ici. Près de la porte du verger." Hunter: "The gate? All right. Did you see the person’s face?" Marie: "Non. La lumière était mauvaise. Puis j’ai entendu une porte claquer." Hunter: "A door slammed. Was it this one?" [He points to the gate in the photograph.] Marie: "[She nods sharply, her fingers tightening around the camera.] Oui. Et puis… plus rien." Hunter: "You’re sure about the gate?" Marie: "Je suis sûre. J’aurais dû prévenir quelqu’un. J’aurais dû—" Hunter: "Hey. You’re all right. You did the right thing showing me." Marie: "[She looks at him, uncertain, and gestures toward the photo.] La silhouette… regardez bien." Hunter: "[His phone rings.] Hunter. Go ahead." Hunter: "Where? … I’m on my way." Hunter: "[He pockets the phone and rises.] I have to go. I’ll come back with someone who can translate." Marie: "Attendez—vous allez retrouver cette femme?" Hunter: "I’ll do everything I can." Marie: "[She watches him go, then looks back down at the photograph.] Faites vite, s’il vous plaît."
