Story Transcript:

Hr: Sunce je sjalo iznad Dubrovnika, obasjavajući plavi Jadran koji se sjajio s druge strane prozora konferencijskog centra.

Hr: Ivana, organizatorica summita, hodala je hodnicima s osmijehom na licu.
En: Ivana, the summit organizer, walked the halls with a smile on her face.

En: His connections with other collaborators seemed suspicious.

Hr: Iskoristivši pauzu između sesija, Ivana je pronjuškala kroz Matijin ured.

Hr: Gdje je delegat?
En: Where is the delegate?"

Hr: " pitala je odlučno.
En: she asked firmly.

Hr: Matija je pokušao poricati, ali njegovo lice izdalo ga je.

Hr: Nakon kratkog verbalnog sparinga, priznao je sudjelovanje u korupciji i nestanku delegata.
En: After a brief verbal exchange, he admitted to being involved in the corruption and the delegate's disappearance.

Hr: Delegat je bio siguran, samo sklonjen dok se dogovor odvijao iza kulisa.

Hr: Ivana je odmah obavijestila nadležne.

Hr: Sutradan, vijesti su obuhvatile cijeli summit.

Hr: Delegat se pojavio, neozlijeđen i zahvalan na Ivaninom djelovanju.
En: The delegate appeared, unharmed and grateful for Ivana's actions.

Hr: Ivana je stajala na terasi konferencijskog centra, gledajući kako se more spaja s nebom.
En: Ivana stood on the conference center terrace, watching the sea merge with the sky.

Hr: Osjećala je ponos.
En: She felt proud.

Hr: Više nije morala skrivati svoju pravednost i borit će se sve više protiv nepravde.
En: No longer did she need to hide her righteousness, and she would fight against injustice even more.
