Marie: *(trembling, in French)* « Oui… j’étais dans le verger hier soir. J’ai vu un homme. Il portait une veste sombre et il regardait autour de lui comme s’il était poursuivi. » *[Translation: Yes… I was in the orchard last night. I saw a man. He wore a dark jacket, and he kept looking around like he was being followed.]* Hunter: “Whoa. Slow down. I’m sorry—I don’t speak French. Do you speak English?” Marie: *(shaking her head, in French)* « Je ne parle pas anglais. Je ne comprends pas. » *[Translation: I don’t speak English. I don’t understand.]* Hunter: “Okay. Easy. One thing at a time.” *(gestures to her camera)* “Your camera? You took pictures?” Marie: *(nods, opens the camera, hands it to him, in French)* « Là. Regardez. C’est lui. Enfin… je crois. » *[Translation: There. Look. That’s him. At least… I think so.]* Hunter: *(squints at the screen, confused)* “This is the orchard? Last night?” Marie: *(nods, in French)* « Oui. Hier soir. Il est passé derrière les arbres, et puis… plus rien. Il a disparu. » *[Translation: Yes. Last night. He went behind the trees, and then… nothing. He disappeared.]* Hunter: “Did he see you?” Marie: *(in French, voice tightening)* « Je ne sais pas. J’ai eu peur. Quand il s’est retourné, j’ai couru. » *[Translation: I don’t know. I was afraid. When he turned around, I ran.]* Hunter: *(nods slowly)* “You ran. Okay. That’s good. You’re safe.” Marie: *(points at the photo, in French)* « Vous êtes policier ? Il faut le retrouver. Cet homme… il n’avait pas l’air normal. » *[Translation: Are you a police officer? You have to find him. That man… he didn’t seem normal.]* Hunter: “I’m Detective Hunter. I’m looking into the disappearances. But I need you to slow down—I’m not following.” Marie: *(frustrated, in French)* « Les disparitions ? Oui ! C’est peut-être lié. J’ai vu quelque chose. Je vous le montre. » *[Translation: The disappearances? Yes! Maybe it’s connected. I saw something. I’m showing you.]* Hunter: *(looks at the photo again, then back at her)* “Okay. I see the photo. I see you’re upset. I just… I need someone who can translate.” Marie: *(in French)* « Je ne comprends pas ce que vous dites. » *[Translation: I don’t understand what you’re saying.]* Hunter: *(phone buzzes; he checks it, then answers)* “Hunter.” *(pause)* “Yeah. Where?” *(pause)* “The Hendricks place? I’m on my way.” *(to Marie, gesturing firmly)* “Stay here. Please. Stay put. I’ll be back with someone who can translate.” Marie: *(in French, anxious)* « Attendez ! Vous partez ? Je ne comprends pas. » *[Translation: Wait! You’re leaving? I don’t understand.]* Hunter: *(already moving, holding up a hand)* “Don’t leave town. I mean it.” Marie: *(alone, in French, quietly)* « Qu’est-ce que je fais maintenant ? » *[Translation: What do I do now?]*
