**Selvi:** "मैंने कल रात वो तस्वीर खींची थी, और अब मुझे समझ नहीं आ रहा कि मैंने क्या देखा।" *(I took that picture last night, and now I don't understand what I saw.)* **Hunter:** "Sorry, I didn't catch that. You were at the orchard last night? The one on Route 9?" **Selvi:** "वहाँ कोई नहीं होना चाहिए था। सिर्फ़ पेड़ थे, और फिर अचानक एक लालटेन जल उठी।" *(No one should have been there. There were only trees, and then suddenly a lantern lit up.)* **Hunter:** "Okay. Slow down. I'm not following the language, but I can see you're rattled. Can you show me the photo?" **Selvi:** "यह देखिए। ये हाथ... इसे मैंने फ़्रेम में नहीं देखा था जब मैंने शटर दबाया।" *(Look here. This hand... I didn't see it in the frame when I pressed the shutter.)* **Hunter:** "Hand. Right. Is that a hand in the corner there, by the fence post?" **Selvi:** "हाँ। और उसकी उंगली पर एक अंगूठी थी। वैसी ही जैसी मारा ने उस दिन पहनी थी जब वह गायब हुई।" *(Yes. And there was a ring on its finger. The same kind Mara wore the day she disappeared.)* **Hunter:** "Mara Lindqvist. She went missing on festival night, three weeks ago. Her sister described that ring to us. You're telling me you saw it in your photo?" **Selvi:** "मुझे नहीं पता मैं क्या कह रही हूँ। मेरे हाथ अभी भी काँप रहे हैं।" *(I don't know what I'm saying. My hands are still shaking.)* **Hunter:** "Hey. Take a breath. Nobody's in trouble here. I just need to understand what you saw, and when. Did you tell anyone else about this?" **Selvi:** "मैंने अपनी दोस्त को फ़ोन किया था, लेकिन उसने फ़ोन नहीं उठाया। मुझे लगा शायद मैं ही कुछ ग़लत समझ रही हूँ।" *(I called my friend, but she didn't pick up. I thought maybe I was the one misunderstanding something.)* **Hunter:** "You're not wrong to call it in. Look, I know you don't speak English, and I don't speak... whatever that is. But I've got a translation app on my phone. Let's try it, one sentence at a time. Can you tell me the time you took this picture?" **Selvi:** "रात के लगभग साढ़े बारह बजे। कैमरे में समय लिखा है।" *(Around half past twelve at night. The time is written on the camera.)* **Hunter:** "Twelve-thirty. Good. That helps. Can you tell me where you were standing when you took it?" **Selvi:** "उस पुरानी सीढ़ी के पास, जहाँ से पूरा बाग़ दिखता है। वहाँ से मैं अक्सर सूर्योदय की तस्वीरें लेती हूँ।" *(By the old ladder, where you can see the whole orchard. I often take sunrise photos from there.)* **Hunter:** "The old ladder by the north rows. I know it. Okay, Selvi, I need you to keep that camera safe. Don't delete anything, don't share the photo online, and don't go back to that orchard alone. Can you do that for me?" **Selvi:** "ठीक है। लेकिन आप इसे ज़रूर देखिए। मुझे लगता है वह हाथ अभी भी वहीं है।" *(Alright. But you have to look at it. I think that hand is still out there.)* **Hunter:** *(phone buzzes)* "Hold on. Hunter. ...Yeah. Yeah, I hear you. No, I can't come right now. Tell Dispatch I'm on my way in twenty minutes." *(to Selvi)* "I have to go. Someone else just reported something at the orchard. Stay here, order a coffee, and I'll come find you in an hour. Okay?" **Selvi:** "आप वापस आएँगे ना?" *(You'll come back, won't you?)* **Hunter:** "Count on it. Keep that camera close."
