**Scene: The Café — Voice Sheet** Hunter: "Excuse me, ma'am. Detective Hunter, Alborn Police. Mind if I ask you a couple of questions about Saturday night?" Selvi: "Maaf kijiye... mujhe angrezi nahi aati." *(I'm sorry... I don't speak English.)* Hunter: "I'm sorry, I— do you speak English? English?" Selvi: "Nahi... sirf hindi." *(No... only Hindi.)* Hunter: "Hindi. Okay. Okay. We're gonna do this the hard way." Hunter: "Saturday. The festival. Apple Festival." *(points at the poster on the wall)* "Were you there?" Selvi: "Haan, festival! Main wahan thi. Photo kheench rahi thi." *(Yes, the festival! I was there. Taking photos.)* Hunter: "Photo? You said 'photo.' You were taking pictures?" Selvi: "Haan! Main photographer hoon. Yeh dekhiye." *(Yes! I'm a photographer. Look at this.)* Hunter: "Easy, easy. Can I— may I see?" Selvi: "Suraj dhal raha tha jab maine yeh li. Uske baad... uske baad maine ek cheekh suni." *(The sun was setting when I took this. After that... after that I heard a scream.)* Hunter: "I don't understand a word you're saying, ma'am. But your hands are shaking. Whatever you saw scared you bad." Selvi: "Ek aadmi tha. Uska chehra dhaka hua tha. Usne Eddie ko pakda aur gaadi ki taraf kheench liya." *(There was a man. His face was covered. He grabbed Eddie and dragged him toward a vehicle.)* Hunter: "Eddie. You said 'Eddie.' Eddie Bakken? You saw Eddie?" Selvi: "Haan, Eddie! Jiska naam akhbar mein hai. Woh lapata hai, na?" *(Yes, Eddie! The one whose name is in the newspaper. He's missing, isn't he?)* Hunter: "Slow down, I can't— okay. When? What time? Time?" Selvi: "Shaam. Jab suraj doob raha tha." *(Evening. When the sun was setting.)* Hunter: "Sun... setting. Sunset. Saturday at sunset. That's more than anybody else in this town has given me." Selvi: "Main bahut dar gayi thi. Main pedon ke peeche chhip gayi. Shukr hai usne mujhe nahi dekha." *(I was so scared. I hid behind the trees. Thank God he didn't see me.)* Hunter: "You're hiding your face. Pointing at the trees. You hid from somebody." Selvi: "Haan! Chhip gayi!" *(Yes! I hid!)* Hunter: "Good. That was smart. That was real smart." Hunter: "This picture— is the man in it? The bad man? In here?" Selvi: "Nahi... woh bahut door tha, aur andhera ho raha tha. Par gaadi dikhayi deti hai. Kaali gaadi." *(No... he was too far, and it was getting dark. But the vehicle is visible. A black vehicle.)* Hunter: "Black. 'Kaali'— black car?" Selvi: "Haan, black! Kaali gaadi!" *(Yes, black! A black car!)* Hunter: "A black car, near the orchard, Saturday at sunset. Lord have mercy. You might be the only witness I've got." Hunter: "Hold on— Hunter. Yeah. ... When? ... The old cider barn off County 9? Don't touch a thing, I'm ten minutes out." Hunter: "I have to go. I'm sorry. You— stay. Please. Don't leave town." Selvi: "Main samjhi nahi... aap jaa rahe hain?" *(I don't understand... you're leaving?)* Hunter: "Leaving. Yes. Emergency. But I'll come back. With somebody who speaks your language. A translator." Selvi: "Oh! Translator! Haan, haan, theek hai. Main yahin rahungi, chai piungi." *(Oh! Translator! Yes, yes, okay. I'll stay right here, I'll drink tea.)* Hunter: "Chai. That one I know. Stay with the chai. And that camera— don't delete anything. Don't let it out of your sight." Selvi: "Kabhi nahi. Yeh camera meri jaan hai." *(Never. This camera is my life.)* Hunter: "I don't know what you just said, but I think we understood each other. Be careful, ma'am." Selvi: "Aap bhi sambhal ke jaiyega, Detective sahab." *(You go carefully too, Detective.)*
