**VOICE SHEET: "The Last Photograph"** *Scene: Brewed Awakening Café, Main Street, Alborn, MN. Late afternoon. Selvi sits alone by the window, her camera in her lap.* --- **Hunter:** "Excuse me. Are you Selvi Raman? The barista said you were the one who called the station this morning." **Selvi:** "मुझे नहीं पता आप क्या कह रहे हैं। कृपया... मुझे अकेला छोड़ दीजिए।" *[I don't know what you're saying. Please... leave me alone.]* **Hunter:** "Okay. I'm Detective Hunter. I'm not sure you understand me, but I need to ask about what you saw at the orchard road this morning." **Selvi:** "आप समझ नहीं पा रहे। मैं सच में... मैं अभी भी कांप रही हूँ।" *[You don't understand. I'm really... I'm still shaking.]* **Hunter:** *(pulls out a chair slowly and sits)* "Hey, nobody's in trouble here. You look like you've seen a ghost." **Selvi:** "उस औरत का चेहरा... मैं उसे कभी नहीं भूलूँगी।" *[That woman's face... I will never forget it.]* **Hunter:** "A woman? Ma'am, I need a name. Anything. Do you know who she is?" **Selvi:** "नाम... नहीं। लेकिन उसने मेरी ओर देखा। जैसे वह जानती थी कि मैं वहाँ हूँ।" *[Name... no. But she looked at me. As if she knew I was there.]* **Hunter:** *(frowning, leaning forward)* "Hold on. I've got nothing in Hindi, not even 'hello.' You're going to have to help me out here. Can you point to something? Show me?" **Selvi:** *(hesitates, then slowly turns the camera toward him and taps the screen)* "यह... यह तस्वीर। सुबह छह बजे।" *[This... this photo. Six o'clock this morning.]* **Hunter:** "Got it. Photo. Six a.m. Let's see." *(takes the camera gently, scrolls)* "Orchard rows. Fog. That's... is that a person? Between the trees?" **Selvi:** "हाँ। वही औरत। और उसके पीछे..." *[Yes. That woman. And behind her...]* **Hunter:** *(zooms in, squinting)* "Hard to make out. Looks like a car. Some kind of truck, maybe. Is that the same vehicle the Dorsey girl was last seen in?" **Selvi:** *(shakes her head, then nods, then shakes it again, clearly overwhelmed)* "मुझे... मुझे नहीं पता। मैं बस इतना जानती हूँ कि वह डर रही थी।" *[I... I don't know. I only know that she was afraid.]* **Hunter:** "Okay. Okay. Slow down. Deep breath." *(pauses, then pulls out his phone and opens a notes app)* "I'm going to type things out. You tell me if I'm wrong, and I'll try to use this translator. Bear with me, it's clunky." **Selvi:** *(watches him type, then quietly)* "आप बहुत धैर्यवान हैं।" *[You're very patient.]* **Hunter:** *(glances up, slight shrug)* "Former Marine. Patience is about the only thing they didn't have to teach me." **Selvi:** *(a faint, tired smile, not understanding the words but reading his tone)* "शायद आप भी डरते हैं।" *[Perhaps you're afraid too.]* **Hunter:** "Maybe a little." *(looks back at the photo)* "Can you send me this? Every file on that camera from this morning, and anything from yesterday. Can you do that for me?" **Selvi:** *(nods slowly, then points to her own chest, then to the camera, then to him)* "मैं... भेज दूँगी।" *[I... will send it.]* **Hunter:** *(his phone buzzes. He glances at the screen, and his expression tightens)* "Hang on. It's the station." *(answers)* "Hunter. ...Yeah. ...When? ...Got it. I'm on my way." **Selvi:** *(watching his face, quietly)* "क्या हुआ?" *[What happened?]* **Hunter:** *(standing, already pulling on his jacket)* "Another one. Same orchard road." *(pauses, looks at her camera)* "Don't go back out there alone, Selvi. Stay here. Someone will come sit with you. Okay?" **Selvi:** *(gripping the camera tighter)* "ठीक है।" *[Okay.]* **Hunter:** *(already at the door, turns back)* "Keep the camera on you. Don't delete anything." **Selvi:** *(softly, to herself, as the bell above the door chimes)* "...कुछ भी डिलीट नहीं करूँगी।" *[I won't delete anything.]* --- *END OF SCENE*
