**VOICE SHEET — CAFÉ, ALBORN, MN** Hunter: “Excuse me, miss. Detective Hunter. I’m asking around about the recent disappearance—the man who went missing after the apple festival. Did you see anything unusual?” Marie: *(shaken, in French)* « Oui... enfin, je ne sais pas. Je regardais mes photos, et—hier, près du verger, j’ai vu un homme. Il semblait paniqué. Et maintenant, cette photo... elle est floue, mais je jure qu’il y avait quelqu’un derrière lui. » *[Translation: Yes... well, I don’t know. I was looking at my photos, and—yesterday, near the orchard, I saw a man. He seemed panicked. And now, this photo... it’s blurry, but I swear there was someone behind him.]* Hunter: “Ma’am? I’m sorry—I don’t speak French. Do you speak English?” Marie: *(troubled, in French)* « Je ne parle pas anglais! Écoutez-moi, s’il vous plaît. Cet homme—il a regardé par-dessus son épaule. Comme s’il était suivi. » *[Translation: I don’t speak English! Listen to me, please. That man—he looked over his shoulder. As if he was being followed.]* Hunter: “Okay. Okay. I’m not getting a word of this.” Marie: *(pointing at her camera, in French)* « Regardez. Là. Vous voyez? Ce n’est pas normal. » *[Translation: Look. There. Do you see? This isn’t normal.]* Hunter: “Is that—can I see the camera?” Marie: *(hands trembling, in French)* « Oui. Prenez-le. Mais faites attention. » *[Translation: Yes. Take it. But be careful.]* Hunter: “I see a blurry orchard. I think. Ma’am, I need a translator.” Marie: *(urgent, in French)* « Un traducteur? Non, non—il n’y a pas le temps. Il faut regarder maintenant. » *[Translation: A translator? No, no—there isn’t time. You have to look now.]* Hunter: “I don’t—ma’am, slow down. Just—stay right here.” Marie: *(in French)* « Attendez! Vous ne comprenez pas! » *[Translation: Wait! You don’t understand!]* Hunter: *(phone rings)* “Hunter. ... Yeah. ... Alborn orchard? I’m ten minutes out.” *(to Marie)* “Stay here. Don’t leave town. I’ll find someone who can—” *(leaves)* Marie: *(alone, in French, looking at her camera)* « Ils ne comprennent pas. Personne ne comprend. » *[Translation: They don’t understand. No one understands.]*
