Some of you have heard the story before,

2000
Neki od vas već su čuli ovu priču,
00:17
but, in fact, there's somebody in the audience
1
2000
2000
no postoji netko u publici
00:19
who's never heard this story -- in front of an audience -- before,
2
4000
2000
tko nije čuo priču
-- pred publikom --
-- pred publikom --
00:21
so I'm a little more nervous than I normally am telling this story.
3
6000
4000
pa sam malo nervozniji nego
inače kada pričam ovu priču.
inače kada pričam ovu priču.
00:26
I used to be a photographer for many years.
4
11000
2000
Godinama sam bio fotograf.
00:28
In 1978, I was working for Time magazine,
5
13000
3000
Godine 1978. radio sam za časopis Time
00:31
and I was given a three-day assignment
6
16000
2000
i dobio sam trodnevni zadatak
00:33
to photograph Amerasian children,
7
18000
2000
da fotografiram amerazijsku djecu,
00:35
children who had been fathered by American GIs
8
20000
2000
djecu koju su začeli američki vojnici
00:37
all over Southeast Asia, and then abandoned --
9
22000
3000
diljem jugoistočne Azije i napustili --
00:40
40,000 children all over Asia.
10
25000
2000
40.000 djece diljem Azije.
00:42
I had never heard the word Amerasian before.
11
27000
2000
Nikad prije nisam čuo riječ "amerazijski".
00:44
I spent a few days photographing children in different countries,
12
29000
4000
Nekoliko sam dana
fotografirao djecu u različitim zemljama
fotografirao djecu u različitim zemljama
00:48
and like a lot of photographers and a lot of journalists,
13
33000
3000
i kao mnogi fotografi i novinari
00:51
I always hope that when my pictures were published,
14
36000
2000
nadam se
da će objaviti moje fotografije,
da će objaviti moje fotografije,
00:53
they might actually have an effect on a situation,
15
38000
2000
da će one zapravo utjecati na situaciju,
00:55
instead of just documenting it.
16
40000
2000
a ne samo dokumentirati je.
00:57
So, I was so disturbed by what I saw,
17
42000
5000
Jako me je pogodilo što sam vidio
01:02
and I was so unhappy with the article that ran afterwards,
18
47000
4000
i bio sam jako nezadovoljan
objavljenim člankom
objavljenim člankom
01:06
that I decided I would take six months off.
19
51000
2000
pa sam uzeo šest mjeseci slobodno.
01:08
I was 28 years old.
20
53000
2000
Imao sam 28 godina.
01:10
I decided I would find six children in different countries,
21
55000
3000
Odlučio sam pronaći
šestero djece u različitim zemljama
šestero djece u različitim zemljama
01:13
and actually go spend some time with the kids,
22
58000
2000
i provesti neko vrijeme s tom djecom
01:15
and try to tell their story a little bit better
23
60000
2000
te pokušati ispričati njihovu priču bolje
01:17
than I thought I had done for Time magazine.
24
62000
3000
nego što sam to učinio za časopis Time.
01:20
In the course of doing the story,
25
65000
3000
Dok sam radio na priči,
01:23
I was looking for children who hadn't been photographed before,
26
68000
5000
tražio sam djecu koja
ranije nisu bila fotografirana
ranije nisu bila fotografirana
01:28
and the Pearl Buck Foundation told me
27
73000
3000
i u zakladi
Pearl Buck Foundation rekli su mi
Pearl Buck Foundation rekli su mi
01:31
that they worked with a lot of Americans who were
28
76000
2000
da su surađivali s puno Amerikanaca
01:33
donating money to help some of these kids.
29
78000
3000
koji su donirali novac za tu djecu.
01:36
And a man told me, who ran the Pearl Buck Foundation in Korea,
30
81000
4000
Čovjek koji je vodio
zakladu u Koreji ispričao mi je
zakladu u Koreji ispričao mi je
01:40
that there was a young girl, who was 11 years old, being raised by her grandmother.
31
85000
3000
o jedanaestogodišnjoj djevojčici
koju je odgajala baka.
koju je odgajala baka.
01:43
And the grandmother had never let any Westerners ever see her.
32
88000
3000
Baka nikad nije dopustila
zapadnjacima da je vide.
zapadnjacima da je vide.
01:46
Every time any Westerners came to the village, she hid the girl.
33
91000
3000
Kadgod bi zapadnjaci
došli u selo, skrila bi djevojčicu.
došli u selo, skrila bi djevojčicu.
01:49
And of course, I was immediately intrigued.
34
94000
2000
Naravno, to me odmah zaintrigiralo.
01:51
I saw photographs of her, and I thought I wanted to go.
35
96000
3000
Vidio sam njezine fotografije
i htio sam otići onamo.
i htio sam otići onamo.
01:54
And the guy just told me, "There's no way. This grandmother won't even -- you know,
36
99000
3000
Tip mi je samo rekao: "Nema šanse.
Ova baka nikad neće --
Ova baka nikad neće --
01:57
there's no way she's ever going to let you meet this girl that's she's raising."
37
102000
2000
dopustiti da upoznaš djevojčicu.
01:59
I took a translator with me, and went to this village,
38
104000
3000
Poveo sam prevoditelja i otišao u to selo,
02:02
found the grandmother, sat down with her.
39
107000
2000
pronašao baku, porazgovarao s njom.
02:04
And to my astonishment, she agreed to let me
40
109000
2000
Na moje iznenađenje, dopustila mi je
02:06
photograph her granddaughter.
41
111000
2000
da fotografiram njezinu unuku.
02:08
And I was paying for this myself, so I asked the translator
42
113000
3000
Sam sam to financirao
pa sam zamolio prevoditelja
pa sam zamolio prevoditelja
02:11
if it would be OK if I stayed for the week.
43
116000
2000
da provjeri mogu li ostati jedan tjedan.
02:13
I had a sleeping bag.
44
118000
2000
Imao sam vreću za spavanje.
02:15
The family had a small shed on the side of the house,
45
120000
3000
Obitelj je uz kuću imala malu daščaru
02:18
so I said, "Could I sleep in my sleeping bag in the evenings?"
46
123000
3000
pa sam pitao "Mogu li spavati noću
u svojoj vreći za spavanje?"
u svojoj vreći za spavanje?"
02:21
And I just told the little girl, whose name was Hyun-Sook Lee,
47
126000
5000
Djevojčici koja se zvala
Hyun-Sook Lee rekao sam
Hyun-Sook Lee rekao sam
02:26
that if I ever did anything to embarrass her --
48
131000
2000
ako joj ikada bude neugodno zbog mene --
02:28
she didn't speak a word of English, although she looked very American --
49
133000
2000
unatoč izgledu nije znala engleski --
02:30
she could just put up her hand and say, "Stop,"
50
135000
2000
neka samo podigne ruku i kaže: "Stop"
02:32
and I would stop taking pictures.
51
137000
2000
i ja neću više fotografirati.
02:34
And then, my translator left.
52
139000
1000
Prevoditelj je otišao.
02:35
So there I was, I couldn't speak a word of Korean,
53
140000
2000
Nisam znao ni riječi korejskog,
02:37
and this is the first night I met Hyun-Sook.
54
142000
2000
te sam noći upoznao Hyun-Sook.
02:39
Her mother was still alive.
55
144000
2000
Njezina je majka još bila živa.
02:41
Her mother was not raising her, her grandmother was raising her.
56
146000
2000
Odgajala ju je baka, ne majka.
02:43
And what struck me immediately was
57
148000
3000
Odmah sam primijetio
02:46
how in love the two of these people were.
58
151000
4000
koliko jedna drugu vole.
02:50
The grandmother was incredibly fond, deeply in love with this little girl.
59
155000
3000
Baka je bila jako nježna,
istinski zaljubljena u djevojčicu.
istinski zaljubljena u djevojčicu.
02:53
They slept on the floor at night.
60
158000
2000
Noću su spavale na podu.
02:55
The way they heat their homes in Korea is to put bricks under the floors,
61
160000
3000
U Koreji griju kuće
postavljanjem cigli ispod poda,
postavljanjem cigli ispod poda,
02:58
so the heat actually radiates from underneath the floor.
62
163000
2000
pa toplina isijava odozdo.
03:00
Hyun-Sook was 11 years old.
63
165000
2000
Hyun-Sook imala je 11 godina.
03:02
I had photographed, as I said, a lot of these kids.
64
167000
2000
Fotografirao sam puno takve djece, rekoh.
03:04
Hyun-Sook was in fact the fifth child that I found to photograph.
65
169000
4000
Hyun-Sook zapravo je bila
peto dijete koje sam fotografirao.
peto dijete koje sam fotografirao.
03:08
And almost universally, amongst all the kids,
66
173000
2000
I gotovo sva su djeca
03:10
they were really psychologically damaged by
67
175000
3000
imala psihičkih problema
03:13
having been made fun of, ridiculed, picked on and been rejected.
68
178000
4000
jer su ih ismijavali,
rugali im se i odbacili ih.
rugali im se i odbacili ih.
03:17
And Korea was probably the place I found
69
182000
2000
Mislim da je Koreja od svih zemalja
03:19
to be the worst for these kids.
70
184000
2000
bila najgore mjesto za tu djecu.
03:21
And what struck me immediately in meeting Hyun-Sook
71
186000
3000
Kod Hyun-Sook odmah sam primijetio
03:24
was how confident she appeared to be,
72
189000
2000
kako je samouvjereno izgledala,
03:26
how happy she seemed to be in her own skin.
73
191000
2000
kako se sretnom doimala u svojoj koži.
03:28
And remember this picture,
74
193000
1000
Zapamtite tu sliku
03:29
because I'm going to show you another picture later,
75
194000
2000
jer ću vam kasnije pokazati drugu sliku,
03:31
but you can see how much she looks like her grandmother,
76
196000
2000
no možete vidjeti koliko je nalik baki
03:33
although she looks so Western.
77
198000
2000
iako ima takav zapadnjački izgled.
03:35
I decided to follow her to school.
78
200000
1000
Pratio sam je u školu.
03:36
This is the first morning I stayed with her.
79
201000
2000
Ovo je snimljeno prvog jutra kod njih.
03:38
This is on the way to school.
80
203000
2000
Ovdje smo na putu u školu.
03:40
This is the morning assembly outside her school.
81
205000
4000
Ovo je jutarnje okupljanje pred školom.
03:47
And I noticed that she was clowning around.
82
212000
3000
Primijetio sam da se ludirala.
03:50
When the teachers would ask questions,
83
215000
2000
Kada su učitelji postavljali pitanja,
03:52
she'd be the first person to raise her hand.
84
217000
2000
prva bi podigla ruku.
03:54
Again, not at all shy or withdrawn,
85
219000
2000
Nije bila sramežljiva ili povučena
03:56
or anything like the other children that I'd photographed.
86
221000
3000
niti nalik drugoj djeci
koju sam fotografirao.
koju sam fotografirao.
03:59
Again, the first one to go to the blackboard to answer questions.
87
224000
2000
Prva je išla pred ploču.
04:01
Getting in trouble for whispering into her best friend's ears
88
226000
2000
Došaptavala se s najboljom prijateljicom
04:03
in the middle of class.
89
228000
2000
za vrijeme nastave.
04:05
And one of the other things that I said to her through the translator --
90
230000
2000
Još sam joj preko prevoditelja rekao i --
04:07
again, this thing about saying stop -- was to not pay attention to me.
91
232000
6000
opet o govorenju stop --
da ne obraća pažnju na mene.
da ne obraća pažnju na mene.
04:13
And so, she really just completely ignored me most of the time.
92
238000
2000
I zapravo me uglavnom ignorirala.
04:15
I noticed that at recess, she was the girl
93
240000
3000
Tijekom odmora, primijetio sam,
04:18
who picked the other girls to be on her team.
94
243000
3000
ona je birala
koje će cure biti u njenom timu.
koje će cure biti u njenom timu.
04:21
It was very obvious, from the very beginning, that she was a leader.
95
246000
2000
Bilo je očito, od samog početka,
da je vođa.
da je vođa.
04:23
This is on the way home.
96
248000
1000
Ovo je na putu kući.
04:24
And that's North Korea up along the hill.
97
249000
2000
Ono gore na brdu je Sjeverna Koreja.
04:26
This is up along the DMZ.
98
251000
2000
Ovo je duž demilitarizirane zone.
04:28
They would actually cover the windows every night, so that light couldn't be seen,
99
253000
3000
Navečer su pokrivali prozore
kako se ne bi vidjelo svjetlo
kako se ne bi vidjelo svjetlo
04:31
because the South Korean government has said for years
100
256000
3000
jer je vlada Južne Koreje
godinama prijetila
godinama prijetila
04:34
that the North Koreans may invade at any time.
101
259000
2000
da će Sjevernokorejci kadtad napasti
04:36
So there's always this -- the closer you were to North Korea, the more terrifying it was.
102
261000
4000
Što si bliže Sj. Koreji, to je veći strah.
04:40
Very often at school, I'd be taking pictures,
103
265000
2000
Često sam fotografirao u školi,
04:42
and she would whisper into her girlfriends' ears,
104
267000
3000
a ona bi šaptala prijateljici u uho,
04:45
and then look at me and say, "Stop."
105
270000
2000
pogledala me i rekla, "Stop."
04:47
And I would stand at attention, and all the girls would crack up,
106
272000
2000
I stao bih, a one su umirale od smijeha.
04:49
and it was sort of a little joke.
107
274000
2000
Bila je to mala šala.
04:51
(Laughter)
108
276000
1000
(Smijeh)
04:53
The end of the week came and my translator came back,
109
278000
1000
Na kraju tjedna, vratila se prevoditeljica
04:54
because I'd asked her to come back,
110
279000
2000
jer sam je zamolio
04:56
so I could formally thank the grandmother and Hyun-Sook.
111
281000
4000
kako bih mogao zahvaliti baki i Hyun-Sook.
05:00
And in the course of the grandmother talking to the translator,
112
285000
2000
I dok je baka razgovarala
s prevoditeljicom,
s prevoditeljicom,
05:02
the grandmother started crying.
113
287000
2000
počela je plakati.
05:04
And I said to my translator, "What's going on, why is she crying?"
114
289000
3000
Pitao sam prevoditeljicu: "Zašto plače?"
05:07
And she spoke to the grandmother for a moment,
115
292000
2000
Kratko je govorila s bakom
05:09
and then she started getting tears in her eyes.
116
294000
2000
te su i njoj navrle suze na oči.
05:11
And I said, "OK, what did I do? What's going on?
117
296000
2000
Pitao sam: "Što sam učinio? Što se događa?
05:13
Why is everyone crying?"
118
298000
2000
Zašto svi plaču?"
05:15
And the translator said, "The grandmother says
119
300000
2000
Prevoditeljica je rekla:
05:17
that she thinks she's dying,
120
302000
2000
"Baka misli da umire i pita
05:19
and she wants to know if you would take Hyun-Sook to America with you."
121
304000
4000
biste li poveli Hyun-Sook u Ameriku."
05:23
And I said, "I'm 28 years old, and I live in hotels,
122
308000
5000
Rekao sam: "Imam
28 godina, živim u hotelima
28 godina, živim u hotelima
05:28
and I'm not married."
123
313000
2000
i nisam oženjen."
05:30
I mean I had fallen in love with this girl,
124
315000
3000
Zaljubio sam se u tu djevojčicu,
05:33
but I -- you know, it was, like, emotionally I was about 12 years old.
125
318000
3000
no emocionalno, imao sam 12 godina.
05:36
If you know of photographers, the joke is
126
321000
2000
Vic kaže da su fotografi
05:38
it's the finest form of delayed adolescence ever invented.
127
323000
3000
najistančajniji oblik kasne
adolescencije ikad izmišljen.
adolescencije ikad izmišljen.
05:41
"Sorry, I have to go on an assignment, I'll be back" --
128
326000
2000
"Moram na zadatak, vratit ću se."
05:43
and then you never come back.
129
328000
2000
I nikad se ne vratiš.
05:45
So, I asked the translator why she thought she was dying.
130
330000
6000
Pitao sam prevoditeljicu
zašto ona misli da umire.
zašto ona misli da umire.
05:51
Can I get her to a hospital? Could I pay to get her a doctor?
131
336000
2000
Da je odvedem u bolnicu? Platim liječnika?
05:53
And she refused any help at all.
132
338000
2000
Odbila je bilo kakvu pomoć
05:55
And so, when I got outside,
133
340000
2000
Kada smo izašli,
05:57
I actually gave the translator some money and said,
134
342000
2000
dao sam prevoditeljici nešto novca
i rekao:
i rekao:
05:59
"Please go back and see if you can do something."
135
344000
2000
"Molim te provjeri možeš li što učiniti."
06:01
And I gave the grandmother my business card.
136
346000
2000
Baki sam dao svoju posjetnicu.
06:03
And I said, "If you're serious, I will try to find a family for her."
137
348000
3000
Rekao sam: "Ako je zaista tako,
pokušat ću joj pronaći obitelj."
pokušat ću joj pronaći obitelj."
06:06
And I immediately wrote a letter to my best friends
138
351000
2000
Odmah sam pisao svojim prijateljima
06:08
in Atlanta, Georgia, who had an 11-year-old son.
139
353000
3000
u Atlanti, Georgiji,
koji imaju 11-godišnjeg sina.
koji imaju 11-godišnjeg sina.
06:11
And my best friend had mistakenly one day
140
356000
3000
Moj je najbolji prijatelj jednom rekao
06:14
said something about wishing he had another child.
141
359000
4000
da bi želio još jedno dijete.
06:18
So here my friends Gene and Gail had not heard from me in about a year,
142
363000
4000
I tako sam prijatelje Gene i Gail,
kojima se nisam javio oko godinu,
kojima se nisam javio oko godinu,
06:22
and suddenly I was calling, saying "I'm in Korea,
143
367000
2000
iznenada nazvao i rekao:
"Ja sam u Koreji,
"Ja sam u Koreji,
06:24
and I've met this extraordinary girl."
144
369000
2000
upoznao sam posebnu djevojčicu."
06:26
And I said, "The grandmother thinks she's sick,
145
371000
3000
I rekao sam: "Baka misli da je bolesna,
06:29
but I think maybe we would have to bring the grandmother over also."
146
374000
3000
no ja mislim
da ćemo morati povesti i baku."
da ćemo morati povesti i baku."
06:33
And I said, "I'll pay for the ... " I mean, I had this whole sort of picture.
147
378000
3000
I rekao sam: "Platit ću..."
Imao sam određenu predodžbu.
Imao sam određenu predodžbu.
06:36
So anyway, I left.
148
381000
2000
I tako, otišao sam.
06:38
And my friends actually said they were very interested in adopting her.
149
383000
5000
I moji su prijatelji bili
jako zainteresirani za posvajanje.
jako zainteresirani za posvajanje.
06:43
And I said, "Look, I think I'll scare the grandmother to death,
150
388000
2000
I rekao sam: "Prestrašit ću baku nasmrt
06:45
if I actually write to her and tell her
151
390000
2000
napišem li da želite posvojiti djevojčicu,
06:47
that you're willing to adopt her, I want to go back and talk to her."
152
392000
2000
vratit ću se i razgovarati s njom."
06:49
But I was off on assignment.
153
394000
2000
No bio sam na zadatku.
06:51
I figured I'd come back in a couple of weeks and talk to the grandmother.
154
396000
3000
Htio sam se vratiti za nekoliko
tjedana i razgovarati s bakom.
tjedana i razgovarati s bakom.
06:54
And on Christmas Day,
155
399000
2000
Na Božić
06:56
I was in Bangkok with a group of photographers
156
401000
2000
sam bio u Bangkoku s drugim fotografima
06:58
and got a telegram -- back in those days, you got telegrams --
157
403000
3000
i dobio telegram,
tada su se dobivali telegrami,
tada su se dobivali telegrami,
07:01
from Time magazine saying someone in Korea had died,
158
406000
2000
od časopisa Time,
da je netko u Koreji preminuo
da je netko u Koreji preminuo
07:03
and left their child in a will to me.
159
408000
3000
i oporukom mi ostavio dijete.
07:06
Did I know anything about this?
160
411000
2000
Znam li išta o tome?
07:08
Because I hadn't told them what I was doing,
161
413000
2000
Nisam im rekao što radim,
07:10
because I was so upset with the story they'd run.
162
415000
2000
jer sam bio uzrujan zbog objavljene priče.
07:12
So, I went back to Korea, and I went back to Hyun-Sook's village,
163
417000
3000
Otišao sam u Koreju, u Hyun-Sookino selo,
07:15
and she was gone.
164
420000
2000
no nje nije bilo.
07:17
And the house that I had spent time in was empty.
165
422000
2000
Kuća u kojoj sam boravio bila je prazna.
07:19
It was incredibly cold.
166
424000
2000
Bilo je strahovito hladno.
07:21
No one in the village would tell me where Hyun-Sook was,
167
426000
2000
Nisu mi htjeli reći gdje je Hyun-Sook,
07:23
because the grandmother had always hidden her from Westerners.
168
428000
3000
jer ju je baka uvijek skrivala
od zapadnjaka.
od zapadnjaka.
07:26
And they had no idea about this request that she'd made of me.
169
431000
3000
Nisu znali što je tražila od mene.
07:29
So I finally found Myung Sung,
170
434000
3000
Konačno sam pronašao Myung Sung,
07:32
her best friend that she used to play with after school every day.
171
437000
2000
njenu najbolju prijateljicu,
s kojom se igrala nakon škole.
s kojom se igrala nakon škole.
07:34
And Myung Sung, under some pressure from me and the translator,
172
439000
4000
Myung Sung, pod pritiskom
zbog mene i prevoditelja,
zbog mene i prevoditelja,
07:38
gave us an address on the outside of Seoul.
173
443000
3000
dala nam je adresu
u periferiji Seoula.
u periferiji Seoula.
07:41
And I went to that address and knocked on the door,
174
446000
3000
Otišao sam tamo
i pokucao na vrata,
i pokucao na vrata,
07:44
and a man answered the door.
175
449000
2000
i otvorio ih je čovjek.
07:46
It was not a very nice area of Seoul,
176
451000
3000
Nije bio lijep dio Seoula,
07:49
as there were mud streets outside of it.
177
454000
2000
ulice su bile blatnjave.
07:51
And I knocked on the door, and Hyun-Sook answered the door,
178
456000
3000
Pokucao sam na vrata
a Hyun-Sook ih je otvorila,
a Hyun-Sook ih je otvorila,
07:54
and her eyes were bloodshot, and she seemed to be in shock.
179
459000
3000
oči su joj bile crvene
i izgledala je šokirano.
i izgledala je šokirano.
07:57
She didn't recognize me -- there was no recognition whatsoever.
180
462000
3000
Nije me prepoznala -- nimalo.
08:00
And this man came to the door and kind of barked something in Korean.
181
465000
2000
Taj je čovjek prišao vratima
i viknuo nešto na korejskom.
i viknuo nešto na korejskom.
08:02
And I said to the translator, "What did he say?"
182
467000
3000
Rekao sam prevoditeljici: "Što je rekao?"
08:05
And she said, "He wants to know who you are."
183
470000
2000
Ona reče: "Želi znati tko si ti."
08:07
And I said, "Well, tell him that I am a photographer."
184
472000
2000
Rekoh: "Pa, reci mu da sam fotograf."
08:09
I started explaining who I was, and he interrupted.
185
474000
3000
Prekinuo me
kad sam počeo objašnjavati tko sam.
kad sam počeo objašnjavati tko sam.
08:12
And she said, "He says he knows who you are, what do you want?"
186
477000
3000
Ona reče: "Kaže da zna tko si, što želiš?"
08:15
I said, "Well, tell him that I was asked
187
480000
3000
Rekoh: "Pa, reci mu da me pitala
08:18
by this little girl's grandmother to find a family for her."
188
483000
4000
njena baka da joj pronađem obitelj."
08:22
And he said, "I'm her uncle, she's fine, you can leave now."
189
487000
5000
I on reče: "Ujak sam joj, dobro je,
možeš ići."
možeš ići."
08:27
So I was -- you know, the door was being slammed in my face,
190
492000
4000
Znate, zatvarali su mi vrata u lice
08:31
it's incredibly cold, and I'm trying to think,
191
496000
2000
užasno je hladno, a ja si mislim:
08:33
"What would the hero do in a movie,
192
498000
2000
"Što bi junak u filmu napravio,
08:35
if I was writing this as a movie script?"
193
500000
2000
da ja pišem scenarij?"
08:37
So I said, "Listen, it's really cold, I've come a very long way,
194
502000
2000
Pa rekoh: "Slušaj, jako je hladno,
dugo sam putovao,
dugo sam putovao,
08:39
do you mind if I just come in for a minute? I'm freezing."
195
504000
2000
mogu li ući na kratko?
Smrzavam se."
Smrzavam se."
08:41
So the guy kind of reluctantly let us in and we sat down on the floor.
196
506000
3000
Nevoljko nas je pustio,
i sjedili smo na podu.
i sjedili smo na podu.
08:44
And as we started talking, I saw him yell something,
197
509000
3000
Kad smo počeli pričati, viknuo je nešto,
08:47
and Hyun-Sook came and brought us some food.
198
512000
4000
i Hyun-Sook uđe noseći hranu.
08:51
And I had this whole mental picture of, sort of like Cinderella.
199
516000
3000
Imao sam tu predodžbu, poput Pepeljuge,
08:54
I sort of had this picture of this incredibly wonderful,
200
519000
3000
zamislio sam to divno,
08:57
bright, happy little child, who now appeared to be very withdrawn,
201
522000
5000
bistro, sretno malo dijete,
sada jako povučeno,
sada jako povučeno,
09:02
being enslaved by this family.
202
527000
2000
naizgled rob ovoj obitelji.
09:04
And I was really appalled, and I couldn't figure out what to do.
203
529000
3000
Bio sam zaprepašten,
nisam znao što da napravim.
nisam znao što da napravim.
09:07
And the more I tried talking to him, the less friendly he was getting.
204
532000
3000
Što sam više pričao s njim,
manje se prijateljski ponašao.
manje se prijateljski ponašao.
09:10
So I finally decided, I said "Look," --
205
535000
2000
Odlučio sam, pa rekoh:
"Gle," --
"Gle," --
09:12
this is all through the translator, because, this is all,
206
537000
2000
i sve to preko prevoditelja,
09:14
you know, I don't speak a word of Korean --
207
539000
2000
jer nisam znao ni riječ korejskog --
09:16
and I said, "Look, I'm really glad that Hyun-Sook has a family to live with.
208
541000
3000
i rekao: "Gle, drago mi je
da Hyun-Sook ima obitelj.
da Hyun-Sook ima obitelj.
09:19
I was very worried about her.
209
544000
2000
Zabrinuo sam se za nju.
09:21
I made a promise to her grandmother, your mother, that I would find a family,
210
546000
4000
Obećao sam njenoj baki, tvojoj majci,
da ću joj naći obitelj,
da ću joj naći obitelj,
09:25
and now I'm so happy that you're going to take care of her."
211
550000
2000
a sad sam sretan da ćeš brinuti o njoj."
09:27
I said, "But you know, I bought an airline ticket,
212
552000
2000
Rekoh: "Znaš, kupio sam avionsku kartu,
09:29
and I'm stuck here for a week."
213
554000
1000
ovdje sam cijeli tjedan."
09:30
And I said, "I'm staying in a hotel downtown.
214
555000
2000
Rekao sam: "Boravim u hotelu
u centru grada.
u centru grada.
09:32
Would you like to come and have lunch tomorrow?
215
557000
2000
Želiš li navratiti i ručati sutra?
09:34
And you can practice your English." Because he told me --
216
559000
2000
Možeš vježbati svoj engleski."
Rekao mi je --
Rekao mi je --
09:36
I was trying to ask him questions about himself.
217
561000
2000
namjeravao sam da priča o sebi.
09:38
And so I went to the hotel, and I found two older Amerasians.
218
563000
7000
Otišao sam u hotel
i našao dva starija Amerazijata.
i našao dva starija Amerazijata.
09:45
A girl whose mother had been a prostitute,
219
570000
4000
Curu čija je majka bila prostitutka,
09:49
and she was a prostitute,
220
574000
2000
i ona je prostitutka,
09:51
and a boy who'd been in and out of jail.
221
576000
2000
i dečka koji je više puta bio u zatvoru.
09:53
And I said to them, "Look, there's a little girl
222
578000
2000
Rekao sam im: "Gle, ta curica
09:55
who has a tiny chance of getting out of here and going to America."
223
580000
4000
ima malenu šansu da se makne odavde
i ode u Ameriku.
i ode u Ameriku.
09:59
I said, "I don't know if it's the right decision or not,
224
584000
3000
Ne znam je li to ispravna odluka,
10:02
but I would like you to come to lunch tomorrow
225
587000
2000
no dođite sutra na ručak
10:04
and tell the uncle what it's like to walk down the street,
226
589000
2000
i recite ujaku kako je hodati ulicom,
10:06
what people say to you, what you do for a living.
227
591000
3000
što vam ljudi kažu,
što radite.
što radite.
10:09
And just -- I want him to understand what happens if she stays here.
228
594000
3000
Samo -- želim da razumije
što će se dogoditi ostane li tu.
što će se dogoditi ostane li tu.
10:12
And I could be wrong, I don't know, but I wish you would come tomorrow."
229
597000
3000
Možda sam u krivu, ne znam,
ali želim da sutra dođete."
ali želim da sutra dođete."
10:15
So, these two came to lunch, and
230
600000
3000
Oboje su došli,
10:18
we got thrown out of the restaurant.
231
603000
2000
i izbačeni smo iz restorana.
10:20
They were yelling at him, they were -- it got to be really ugly.
232
605000
3000
Vikali su na njega,
postalo je jako ružno.
postalo je jako ružno.
10:23
And we went outside, and he was just furious.
233
608000
2000
Bio je jako ljut kad smo izašli.
10:25
And I knew I had totally blown this whole thing.
234
610000
2000
Znao sam da sam uništio svoju priliku.
10:27
Here I was again, trying to figure out what to do.
235
612000
2000
I evo me opet, tražim rješenje.
10:29
And he started yelling at me, and I said to the translator,
236
614000
2000
Vikao je na mene, pa rekoh prevoditeljici:
10:31
"OK, tell him to calm down, what is he saying?"
237
616000
2000
"OK, reci mu da se smiri, što govori?"
10:33
And she said, "Well, he's saying,
238
618000
2000
Ona je rekla: "Pa, kaže,
10:35
'Who the hell are you to walk into my house,
239
620000
2000
'Tko si k vragu ti,
kad ulaziš u moju kuću,
kad ulaziš u moju kuću,
10:37
some rich American with your cameras around your neck,
240
622000
3000
bogati Amerikanac s kamerom oko vrata,
10:40
accusing me of enslaving my niece?
241
625000
3000
i optužuješ me da zarobljavam
svoju nećakinju?
svoju nećakinju?
10:43
This is my niece, I love her, she's my sister's daughter.
242
628000
3000
Moja je nećakinja, volim ju,
kćer je moje sestre.
kćer je moje sestre.
10:46
Who the hell are you
243
631000
3000
Tko si, dovraga, ti
10:49
to accuse me of something like this?'"
244
634000
2000
optužujući me ovako'"
10:51
And I said, you know, "Look," I said, "You're absolutely right.
245
636000
3000
Rekoh, znate: "Gledaj, u pravu si.
10:54
I don't pretend to understand what's going on here."
246
639000
2000
Ne pravim se da znam što se tu događa.
10:56
I said, "All I know is, I've been photographing a lot of these children."
247
641000
2000
Ono što znam, fotografirao sam tu djecu."
10:58
I said, "I'm in love with your niece,
248
643000
4000
Rekoh: "Zaljubio sam se u vašu nećakinju,
11:02
I think she's an incredibly special child."
249
647000
3000
ona je iznimno posebno dijete.
11:05
And I said, "Look, I will fly my friends over here
250
650000
2000
Moji će prijatelji doletjeti ovdje iz SAD-a
11:07
from the United States if you want to meet them, to see if you approve of them.
251
652000
3000
ako ih želiš upoznati,
vidi odobravaš li ih.
vidi odobravaš li ih.
11:10
I just think that -- what little I know about the situation,
252
655000
4000
Mislim -- ovo malo što znam o situaciji,
11:14
she has very little chance here of having the kind of life
253
659000
3000
da ovdje ima malenu šansu imati život
11:17
that you probably would like her to have."
254
662000
2000
kakav bi joj želio."
11:19
So, everyone told me afterwards that inviting the prospective parents over
255
664000
3000
Svi su mi kasnije rekli
da je pozivanje mogućih roditelja bila
da je pozivanje mogućih roditelja bila
11:22
was, again, the stupidest thing I could have possibly done,
256
667000
2000
najgluplja stvar
koju sam mogao napraviti,
koju sam mogao napraviti,
11:24
because who's ever good enough for your relative?
257
669000
4000
jer nitko nije dovoljno dobar
za tvog rođaka.
za tvog rođaka.
11:28
But he invited me to come to a ceremony
258
673000
2000
Pozvao me na ceremoniju
11:30
they were having that day for her grandmother.
259
675000
3000
koji su taj dan imali za njenu baku.
11:33
And they actually take items of clothing and photographs,
260
678000
2000
Uzmu stvari i fotografije,
11:35
and they burn them as part of the ritual.
261
680000
3000
i spale ih kao dio rituala.
11:38
And you can see how different she looks just in three months.
262
683000
2000
Vidite kako drukčije izgleda
u tri mjeseca.
u tri mjeseca.
11:40
This was now, I think, February, early February.
263
685000
3000
Tada je bila veljača, rana veljača,
11:43
And the pictures before were taken in September.
264
688000
4000
a prijašnje slike su iz rujna.
11:47
Well, there was an American Marine priest that I had met
265
692000
2000
Upoznao sam svećenika am. mornarice
11:49
in the course of doing the story,
266
694000
2000
dok sam pisao priču,
11:51
who had 75 children living in his house.
267
696000
2000
u čijoj je kući živjelo 75 djece.
11:53
He had three women helping him take care of these kids.
268
698000
2000
Tri žene pomagale su o brizi te djece.
11:55
And so I suggested to the uncle that we go down
269
700000
2000
Predložio sam ujaku
11:57
and meet Father Keene, to find out
270
702000
2000
da upoznamo oca Keenea,
11:59
how the adoption process worked.
271
704000
2000
i saznamo o procesu posvajanja.
12:01
Because I wanted him to feel like
272
706000
2000
Htio sam da vidi
12:03
this was all being done very much above board.
273
708000
2000
kako je sve iskreno i legalno.
12:05
So, this is on the way down to the orphanage.
274
710000
2000
Ovo je na putu do sirotišta.
12:08
This is Father Keene. He's just a wonderful guy.
275
713000
4000
Ovo je otac Keen, divan čovjek.
12:13
He had kids from all over Korea living there,
276
718000
2000
Tu su živjela djeca iz cijele Koreje,
12:15
and he would find families for these kids.
277
720000
2000
a on bi im nalazio obitelji.
12:18
This is a social worker interviewing Hyun-Sook.
278
723000
3000
Ovo je socijalna radnica,
intervjuira Hyun-Sook.
intervjuira Hyun-Sook.
12:21
Now, I had always thought she was completely
279
726000
2000
Mislio sam da ju ovo ništa ne dira,
12:23
untouched by all of this, because the grandmother, to me,
280
728000
2000
jer joj je baka izgledala
12:25
appeared to be sort of the village wise woman, and the person everybody --
281
730000
4000
kao seoska mudra žena --
12:29
throughout the day, I noticed people kept coming to visit her grandmother.
282
734000
3000
primijetih da su cijeli dan ljudi dolazili
posjetiti njenu baku.
posjetiti njenu baku.
12:32
And I always had this mental picture that
283
737000
2000
Uvijek sam smatrao da su,
12:34
even though they may have been one of the poorer families in the village,
284
739000
4000
iako su bili među siromašnijim obiteljima,
12:38
they were one of the most respected families in the village.
285
743000
2000
bili jedna od najviše poštovanih obitelji.
12:40
And I always felt that the grandmother had kind of demanded, and insisted,
286
745000
3000
Vjerovao sam da je baka zahtijevala,
inzistirala,
inzistirala,
12:43
that the villagers treat Hyun-Sook with the same respect they treated her.
287
748000
6000
da seljani Hyun-Sook poštuju kao i nju.
12:49
Hyun-Sook stayed at Father Keene's,
288
754000
2000
Hyun-Sook ostala je kod oca Keenea,
12:51
and her uncle agreed to let her stay there until the adoption went through.
289
756000
3000
ujak je dopustio da ostane do posvajanja.
12:54
He actually agreed to the adoption.
290
759000
3000
Stvarno je pristao na posvajanje.
12:57
And I went off on assignment and came back a week later,
291
762000
1000
Otišao sam na zadatak,
i vratio se za tjedan dana
i vratio se za tjedan dana
12:59
and Father Keene said, "I've got to talk to you about Hyun-Sook."
292
764000
2000
i otac Keene reče:
"Moramo pričati o njoj."
"Moramo pričati o njoj."
13:01
I kind of said, "Oh God, now what?"
293
766000
2000
I rekoh: "O Bože, što sad?"
13:03
And he takes me into this room, and he closes the door,
294
768000
1000
Odvede me u sobu i zatvori vrata,
13:04
and he says, "I have 75 children here in the orphanage, and it's total bedlam."
295
769000
4000
kaže: "Imam 75 djece u sirotištu,
to je luda kuća."
to je luda kuća."
13:08
And there's clothes, and there's kids, and, you know,
296
773000
3000
Ima odjeće, ima djece i, znaš,
13:11
there's three adults and 75 kids -- you can imagine.
297
776000
2000
troje odraslih i 75 djece --
možeš zamisliti.
možeš zamisliti.
13:13
And he said, "The second day she was here she made up a list
298
778000
3000
I reče: "Svojeg drugog dana tu,
smislila je listu imena
smislila je listu imena
13:16
of all of the names of the older kids and the younger kids.
299
781000
3000
sve starije i mlađe djece.
13:19
And she assigned one of the older kids to each of the younger kids.
300
784000
3000
Svakom je starijem
dodijelila mlađe dijete.
dodijelila mlađe dijete.
13:22
And then she set up a work detail list
301
787000
2000
Napravila je detaljnu listu poslova
13:24
of who cleaned the orphanage on what day."
302
789000
3000
i odlučila tko će kada čistiti sirotište."
13:27
And he said, "She's telling me that I'm messy, and I have to clean up my room."
303
792000
3000
Reče: "Kaže mi da sam neuredan,
da moram pospremiti svoju sobu.
da moram pospremiti svoju sobu.
13:30
And he said, "I don't know who raised her,
304
795000
2000
"Ne znam tko ju je odgojio,
13:32
but," he said, "she's running the orphanage,
305
797000
2000
ali," reče, "upravlja sirotištem
13:34
and she's been here three days."
306
799000
2000
a tu je tek tri dana."
13:36
(Laughter)
307
801000
1000
(Smijeh)
13:38
This was movie day -- that she organized -- where all the kids went to the movies.
308
803000
3000
Ovo je filmski dan - organizirala ona --
kada su sva djeca išla u kino.
kada su sva djeca išla u kino.
13:41
A lot of the kids who had been adopted
309
806000
3000
Puno je posvojene djece
13:44
actually wrote back to the other kids, telling them
310
809000
2000
pisalo drugoj djeci, govoreći im
13:46
about what their life was like with their new families.
311
811000
3000
o životu s novim obiteljima.
13:49
So, it was a really big deal when the letters showed up.
312
814000
2000
Pa je bila velika stvar
kad bi pisma dolazila.
kad bi pisma dolazila.
13:51
This is a woman who is now working at the orphanage,
313
816000
2000
Ovo je žena koja sad radi u sirotištu,
13:53
whose son had been adopted.
314
818000
2000
čiji je sin posvojen.
13:59
Gene and Gail started studying Korean
315
824000
2000
Gene i Gail počeli su učiti korejski
14:01
the moment they had gotten my first letter.
316
826000
2000
čim su dobili moje prvo pismo.
14:03
They really wanted to be able to welcome Hyun-Sook into their family.
317
828000
4000
Željeli su lijepo primiti Hyun-Sook
u svoju obitelj.
u svoju obitelj.
14:08
And one of the things Father Keene told me when I came back
318
833000
1000
Otac Keene mi je rekao,
kad sam se vratio
kad sam se vratio
14:09
from one of these trips -- Hyun-Sook had chosen the name Natasha,
319
834000
4000
s jednog od tih putovanja --
Hyun-Sook je odabrala ime Natasha,
Hyun-Sook je odabrala ime Natasha,
14:13
which I understood was from her watching
320
838000
2000
shvatio sam i zbog čega,
14:15
a "Rocky and Bullwinkle" cartoon on the American Air Force station.
321
840000
5000
gledala je crtić "Rocky i Bullwinkle"
na "American Air Force" stanici.
na "American Air Force" stanici.
14:20
This may be one of those myth-buster things that we'll have to clear up here, in a minute.
322
845000
4000
To je možda razbijač mita koji ćemo morati
razjasniti za par minuta.
razjasniti za par minuta.
14:24
So, my friend Gene flew over with his son, Tim.
323
849000
2000
Moj prijatelj Gene doletio je
sa svojim sinom, Timom.
sa svojim sinom, Timom.
14:26
Gail couldn't come.
324
851000
2000
Gail nije mogla doći.
14:28
And they spent a lot of time huddled over a dictionary.
325
853000
2000
Proveli su puno vremena
proučavajući rječnik.
proučavajući rječnik.
14:30
And this was Gene showing the uncle where Atlanta was on the map, where he lived.
326
855000
4000
Ovdje Gene pokazuje ujaku gdje je Atlanta,
gdje on živi.
gdje on živi.
14:36
This is the uncle signing the adoption papers.
327
861000
2000
Ovdje ujak potpisuje papire za posvajanje.
14:38
Now, we went out to dinner that night to celebrate.
328
863000
2000
Otišli smo na večeru te noći
da proslavimo.
da proslavimo.
14:40
The uncle went back to his family,
329
865000
2000
Ujak se vratio svojoj obitelji,
14:42
and Natasha and Tim and Gene and I went out to dinner.
330
867000
4000
a Natasha, Tim, Gene i ja
otišli smo na večeru.
otišli smo na večeru.
14:46
And Gene was showing Natasha how to use a knife and fork,
331
871000
4000
Gene je pokazivao Natashi
kako koristiti nož i vilicu,
kako koristiti nož i vilicu,
14:50
and then Natasha was returning the utensil lessons.
332
875000
4000
a ona je uzvratila lekciju o priboru.
14:54
We went back to our hotel room,
333
879000
2000
Vratili smo se u hotelsku sobu,
14:56
and Gene was showing Natasha also where Atlanta was.
334
881000
2000
Gene je Natashi pokazivao
gdje je Atlanta.
gdje je Atlanta.
14:58
This is the third night we were in Korea.
335
883000
2000
To nam je bila treća noć u Koreji.
15:00
The first night we'd gotten a room for the kids right next to us.
336
885000
4000
Prve smo noći djeci našli sobu
odmah pokraj naše.
odmah pokraj naše.
15:04
Now, I'd been staying in this room for about three months --
337
889000
2000
U toj sam sobi bio već tri mjeseca --
15:06
it was a little 15-story Korean hotel.
338
891000
4000
mali korejski hotel s 15 katova.
15:11
So, the second night, we didn't keep the kids' room,
339
896000
2000
Druge noći nismo zadržali sobu za djecu
15:13
because we went down and slept on the floor with all the kids at the orphanage.
340
898000
3000
jer smo spavali na podu sirotišta
s ostalom djecom.
s ostalom djecom.
15:16
And the third night, we came back, we'd just gone out to dinner,
341
901000
1000
Treće smo se noći vratili poslije večere,
15:17
where you saw the pictures, and we got to the front desk
342
902000
2000
vidjeli ste slike, i stigli na recepciju.
15:19
and the guy at the front desk said,
343
904000
2000
Recepcionar je rekao:
15:21
"There's no other free rooms on your floor tonight,
344
906000
2000
"Nema slobodne sobe na vašem katu,
15:23
so if you want to put the kids five floors below you, there's a room there."
345
908000
4000
ali djeca mogu biti u sobi
pet katova ispod vas."
pet katova ispod vas."
15:27
And Gene and I looked at each other and said,
346
912000
2000
Gene i ja smo se pogledali i rekli:
15:29
"No, we don't want two 11-year-olds five floors away."
347
914000
2000
"Ne želimo dvoje 11-godišnjaka
pet katova niže."
pet katova niže."
15:31
So, his son said, "Dad, I have a sleeping bag, I'll sleep on the floor."
348
916000
3000
Njegov sin reče: "Imam vreću za spavanje,
spavat ću na podu."
spavat ću na podu."
15:34
And I said, "Yeah, I have one too."
349
919000
2000
Rekoh: "I ja imam svoju"
15:36
So, Tim and I slept on the floor,
350
921000
2000
Pa smo Tim i ja spavali na podu,
15:38
Natasha got one bed, Gene got the other -- kids pass out,
351
923000
2000
Natasha na jednom krevetu, Gene na drugom
-- djeca spavaju,
-- djeca spavaju,
15:40
it's been very exciting for three days.
352
925000
2000
bila su to tri zanimljiva dana.
15:42
We're lying in bed, and Gene and I are talking about how cool we are.
353
927000
3000
Gene i ja ležimo u krevetu
i pričamo kako smo cool.
i pričamo kako smo cool.
15:46
We said, "That was so great, we saved this little girl's life."
354
931000
3000
Rekli smo: "Bilo je divno,
spasili smo život toj curi."
spasili smo život toj curi."
15:49
We were just like, you know, ah, just full of ourselves.
355
934000
4000
Bili smo, znate, puni sebe.
15:53
And we fall asleep -- and I've been in this room, you know,
356
938000
2000
Zaspemo -- u ovoj sobi sam, znate,
15:55
for a couple of months now.
357
940000
2000
već nekoliko mjeseci.
15:57
And they always overheat the hotels in Korea terribly,
358
942000
4000
Uvijek jako pregriju hotele u Koreji,
16:01
so during the day I always left the window open.
359
946000
2000
pa je prozor tijekom dana otvoren.
16:03
And then, at night, about midnight, they turn the heat off in the hotel.
360
948000
2000
Noću, oko ponoći,
isključe grijanje u hotelu.
isključe grijanje u hotelu.
16:05
So at about 1 a.m., the whole room would be like 20 below zero, and I'd get up.
361
950000
4000
U 1 ujutro u sobi je užasno hladno,
pa bih ustajao.
pa bih ustajao.
16:09
I'd been doing this every night I'd been there.
362
954000
2000
Radio sam to svake noći.
16:11
So, sure enough, it's one o'clock, room's freezing,
363
956000
3000
U 1 ujutro u sobi je zaista jako hladno,
16:14
I go to close the window, and I hear people shouting outside,
364
959000
4000
odem zatvoriti prozor
i čujem ljude vani kako viču.
i čujem ljude vani kako viču.
16:18
and I thought, "Oh, the bars must have just gotten out."
365
963000
2000
Pomislih:
"Vjerojatno su se barovi zatvorili."
"Vjerojatno su se barovi zatvorili."
16:20
And I don't speak Korean, but I'm hearing these voices,
366
965000
2000
Ne znam korejski, ali čujem te glasove,
16:22
and I'm not hearing anger, I'm hearing terror.
367
967000
4000
ne čujem ljutnju, nego strah.
16:26
So, I open the window, and I look out,
368
971000
2000
Otvorim prozor i pogledam van,
16:28
and there's flames coming up the side of our hotel,
369
973000
2000
a plamenovi se uzdižu
na našoj strani hotela.
na našoj strani hotela.
16:30
and the hotel's on fire.
370
975000
2000
Hotel gori.
16:32
So, I run over to Gene, and I wake him up,
371
977000
2000
Dotrčim do Genea i probudim ga,
16:34
and I say, "Gene, don't freak out, I think the hotel's on fire."
372
979000
3000
kažem: "Gene, nemoj paničariti,
mislim da hotel gori."
mislim da hotel gori."
16:37
And now there's smoke and flames coming by our windows -- we're on the eleventh floor.
373
982000
4000
Dim i plamenovi prolaze kraj naših prozora
-- na jedanaestom smo katu.
-- na jedanaestom smo katu.
16:41
So, the two of us were just like, "Oh my God, oh my God."
374
986000
2000
"O moj Bože, o moj Bože", govorili smo.
16:43
So, we're trying to get Natasha up, and we can't talk to her.
375
988000
4000
Budili smo Natashu,
a ne možemo pričati s njom.
a ne možemo pričati s njom.
16:47
And you know what kids are like when they've been asleep for like an hour,
376
992000
2000
I znate kakva su djeca
nakon sata sna,
nakon sata sna,
16:49
it's like they took five Valiums -- you know, they're all over the place.
377
994000
3000
kao da su uzeli pet Valiuma
-- zbunjeni i razbarušeni.
-- zbunjeni i razbarušeni.
16:52
And we can't talk to her.
378
997000
2000
I ne možemo pričati s njom.
16:54
I remember his son had the L.L. Bean bootlaces,
379
999000
2000
Njegov sin, sjećam se, imao je
L.L. Bean vezice,
L.L. Bean vezice,
16:56
and we're trying to do up his laces.
380
1001000
2000
i pokušavali smo ih vezati.
16:58
So, we try to get to the door, and we run to the door,
381
1003000
2000
Pokušavamo doći do vrata,
i dotrčimo do njih,
i dotrčimo do njih,
17:00
and we open the door and it's like walking into a blast furnace.
382
1005000
3000
a kad ih otvorimo,
kao da ulazimo u visoku peć.
kao da ulazimo u visoku peć.
17:03
There's people screaming, there's the sound of glass breaking,
383
1008000
2000
Ljudi vrište, zvuk slomljena stakla,
17:05
there's these weird thumps.
384
1010000
2000
i neki čudni udarci.
17:07
And the whole room filled with smoke in about two seconds.
385
1012000
3000
Cijela se soba ispuni dimom
za dvije sekunde.
za dvije sekunde.
17:10
And Gene turns around and says, "We're not going to make it."
386
1015000
2000
Gene kaže: "Nećemo uspjeti."
17:12
And he closes the door, and the whole room is now filled with smoke.
387
1017000
4000
Zatvori vrata, a cijela je soba
sad ispunjena dimom.
sad ispunjena dimom.
17:16
We're all choking, and there's smoke pouring through the vents,
388
1021000
2000
Gušimo se, a dim prolazi
kroz ventile, ispod vrata.
kroz ventile, ispod vrata.
17:18
under the doors. There's people screaming.
389
1023000
2000
Ljudi vrište.
17:20
I just remember this unbelievable, just utter chaos.
390
1025000
4000
Sjećam se tog nevjerojatnog,
apsolutnog kaosa.
apsolutnog kaosa.
17:24
I remember sitting near the bed, and I was just so --
391
1029000
2000
Sjedio sam kraj kreveta --
17:26
I had two overwhelming feelings.
392
1031000
2000
osjećao sam samo dvije stvari.
17:28
One was absolute terror -- it's like, "Oh, please God, I just want to wake up.
393
1033000
2000
Prvo je bio apsolutni užas --
govorio sam: "Bože, želim se probuditi.
govorio sam: "Bože, želim se probuditi.
17:30
This has got to be a nightmare, this can't be happening.
394
1035000
2000
Ovo mora biti košmar,
ne događa se stvarno.
ne događa se stvarno.
17:32
Please, I just want to wake up, it's got to be a nightmare."
395
1037000
2000
Želim se probuditi, mora biti noćna mora."
17:34
And the other is unbelievable guilt.
396
1039000
2000
Drugo je nevjerojatna krivnja.
17:36
Here I've been, playing God with my friends' lives, my friends' son, with Natasha's life,
397
1041000
5000
Glumio sam Boga igrajući se sa životima
svojih prijatelja, s Natashinim životom,
svojih prijatelja, s Natashinim životom,
17:41
and this what you get when you try playing God, is you hurt people.
398
1046000
3000
ovo dobiješ kad se igraš Boga,
povrijediš ljude.
povrijediš ljude.
17:44
I remember just being so frightened and terrified.
399
1049000
2000
Bio sam prestravljen.
17:46
And Gene, who's lying on the floor, says,
400
1051000
2000
Gene, koji leži na podu, kaže:
17:48
"Man, we've got to soak towels." I said, "What?"
401
1053000
2000
"Moramo namočiti ručnike."
Rekoh: "Što?"
Rekoh: "Što?"
17:50
He says, "We've got to soak towels. We're going to die from the smoke."
402
1055000
2000
On reče: "Moramo ih namočiti.
Umrijet ćemo od dima."
Umrijet ćemo od dima."
17:52
So, we ran to the bathroom, and got towels,
403
1057000
2000
Otrčali smo u kupaonu i uzeli ručnike,
17:54
and put them over our faces, and the kids faces.
404
1059000
2000
stavili ih preko svojih lica, lica djece.
17:56
Then he said, "Do you have gaffer's tape?"
405
1061000
2000
On reče: "Imaš li zaštitne trake?"
17:58
I said, "What?" He said, "Do you have gaffer's tape?"
406
1063000
2000
Rekoh "Što?"
On reče: "Imaš li zaštitne trake?"
On reče: "Imaš li zaštitne trake?"
18:00
I said, "Yeah, somewhere in my Halliburton."
407
1065000
2000
Rekoh: "Da, u svojoj torbi."
18:02
He says, "We've got to stop the smoke."
408
1067000
2000
Reče: "Moramo zaustaviti dim.
18:04
He said, "That's all we can do, we've got to stop the smoke."
409
1069000
2000
Samo to i možemo,
moramo zaustaviti dim."
moramo zaustaviti dim."
18:06
I mean, Gene -- thank God for Gene.
410
1071000
2000
Gene -- hvala Bogu na Geneu.
18:08
So, we put the room service menus over the vents in the wall,
411
1073000
4000
Stavili smo jelovnike preko ventila,
18:12
we put blankets at the bottom of the door,
412
1077000
2000
deke ispod vrata,
18:14
we put the kids on the windowsill to try to get some air.
413
1079000
3000
djecu smo smjestili kraj prozora
da pokušaju doći do zraka.
da pokušaju doći do zraka.
18:17
And there was a building, a new building, going up,
414
1082000
2000
Nasuprot našem hotelu
18:19
that was being built right outside, across the street from our hotel.
415
1084000
3000
gradila se nova zgrada.
18:22
And there, in the building were photographers
416
1087000
1000
Tamo su bili fotografi
18:23
waiting for people to jump.
417
1088000
2000
čekali da ljudi skoče.
18:25
Eleven people ended up dying in the fire.
418
1090000
3000
Jedanaestero ljudi
umrlo je u vatri.
umrlo je u vatri.
18:28
Five people jumped and died, other people were killed by the smoke.
419
1093000
6000
Petero ljudi skočilo je i umrlo,
druge je ljude ubio dim.
druge je ljude ubio dim.
18:34
And there's this loud thumping on the door after about 45 minutes
420
1099000
3000
Nakon 45 minuta,
čuli smo kucanje na vratima,
čuli smo kucanje na vratima,
18:37
in all this, and people were shouting in Korean.
421
1102000
2000
ljudi su vikali na korejskom.
18:39
And I remember, Natasha didn't want us opening the door --
422
1104000
7000
Sjećam se,
Natasha nije htjela da otvorimo vrata --
Natasha nije htjela da otvorimo vrata --
18:46
sorry, I was trying not to open the door,
423
1111000
2000
pardon, ja nisam htio
da otvaramo vrata,
da otvaramo vrata,
18:48
because we'd spent so much time barricading the room.
424
1113000
2000
jer smo dugo stvarali svoje barikade.
18:50
I didn't know who it was, I didn't know what they wanted,
425
1115000
2000
Nisam znao tko je, što žele,
18:52
and Natasha could tell they were firemen trying to get us out.
426
1117000
4000
ali Natasha je shvatila da su vatrogasci
i da nam žele pomoći.
i da nam žele pomoći.
18:56
I remember a sort of a tussle at the door, trying to get the door open.
427
1121000
3000
Sjećam se gužve oko vrata,
pokušavajući ih otvoriti.
pokušavajući ih otvoriti.
18:59
In any case, 12 hours later, I mean, they put us in the lobby.
428
1124000
6000
Bilo kako bilo, 12 sati kasnije --
bili smo u predvorju.
bili smo u predvorju.
19:05
Gene ended up using his coat, and his fist in the coat, to break open a liquor cabinet.
429
1130000
4000
Gene je omotao svoj kaput oko šake
kako bi razbio staklo na ormariću za piće.
kako bi razbio staklo na ormariću za piće.
19:09
People were lying on the floor.
430
1134000
2000
Ljudi su ležali na podu.
19:11
It was one of just the most horrifying nights.
431
1136000
3000
Bila je to jedna od najstrašnijih noći.
19:14
And then 12 hours later, we rented a car, as we had planned to,
432
1139000
3000
Onda, 12 sati kasnije, unajmili smo auto,
kao što smo namjeravali,
kao što smo namjeravali,
19:17
and drove back to Natasha's village.
433
1142000
2000
i odvezli se do Natashina sela.
19:19
And we kept saying, "Do you realize we were dying in a hotel fire,
434
1144000
2000
Stalno smo ponavljali:
"Shvaćaš li da smo
"Shvaćaš li da smo
19:21
like eight hours ago?"
435
1146000
2000
umirali u požaru prije osam sati?"
19:23
It's so weird how life just goes on.
436
1148000
2000
Čudno je kako život ide dalje.
19:25
Natasha wanted to introduce her brother and father to all the villagers,
437
1150000
3000
Natasha je htjela oca i brata
upoznati sa seljanima,
upoznati sa seljanima,
19:28
and the day we showed up turned out to be a 60-year-old man's birthday.
438
1153000
4000
a tog je dana bio rođendan
60-godišnjem čovjeku.
60-godišnjem čovjeku.
19:32
This guy's 60 years old.
439
1157000
2000
Ima 60 godina.
19:34
So it turned into a dual celebration, because Natasha was the first person
440
1159000
2000
Postalo je dvostruko slavlje,
jer je Natasha bila
jer je Natasha bila
19:36
from this village ever to go to the United States.
441
1161000
2000
prva osoba iz ovog sela koja ide u SAD.
19:38
So, these are the greenhouse tents.
442
1163000
2000
Ovo su staklenički šatori.
19:40
This is the elders teaching Gene their dances.
443
1165000
3000
Starješine uče Genea svoje plesove.
19:43
We drank a lot of rice wine. We were both so drunk,
444
1168000
3000
Pili smo puno rižina vina.
Bili smo tako pijani,
Bili smo tako pijani,
19:46
I couldn't believe it.
445
1171000
3000
nisam mogao vjerovati.
19:50
This is the last picture before Gene and Tim headed back.
446
1175000
4000
Ovo je zadnja slika
prije odlaska Genea i Tima.
prije odlaska Genea i Tima.
19:54
The adoption people told us it was going to take a year for the adoption to go through.
447
1179000
5000
Rekli su nam da će za posvajanje
trebati godinu dana.
trebati godinu dana.
19:59
Like, what could you do for a year?
448
1184000
2000
Što da radiš godinu dana?
20:01
So I found out the name of every official on both the Korean and American side,
449
1186000
3000
Pa sam našao ime svakog
američkog i korejskog službenika,
američkog i korejskog službenika,
20:04
and I photographed them, and told them
450
1189000
2000
fotografirao ih i rekao im
20:06
how famous they were going to be when this book was done.
451
1191000
3000
koliko će slavni biti
kada ova knjiga bude gotova.
kada ova knjiga bude gotova.
20:09
And four months later, the adoption papers came through.
452
1194000
4000
Četiri mjeseca kasnije,
stigli su papiri za posvajanje.
stigli su papiri za posvajanje.
20:13
This is saying goodbye to everybody at the orphanage.
453
1198000
3000
Ovdje se pozdravlja sa svima u sirotištu.
20:16
This is Father Keene with Natasha at the bus stop.
454
1201000
3000
Otac Keene i Natasha
na autobusnoj stanici.
na autobusnoj stanici.
20:19
Her great aunt at the airport.
455
1204000
2000
Njena prateta na aerodromu.
20:21
I had a wonderful deal with Cathay Pacific airlines for many years,
456
1206000
4000
Imao sam dogovor s Cathay Pacific
aviokompanijom već godinama,
aviokompanijom već godinama,
20:25
where they gave me free passes on all their airlines in return for photography.
457
1210000
4000
davali su mi besplatne karte
za fotografije.
za fotografije.
20:29
It was like the ultimate perk.
458
1214000
2000
Bilo je iznimno korisno.
20:31
And the pilot, I actually knew -- because they used to let me sit
459
1216000
3000
Pilot, kojeg sam znao --
dali su mi da sjedim
dali su mi da sjedim
20:34
in the jump seat, to tell you how long ago this was.
460
1219000
2000
u pomoćnom sjedištu,
sada znate kad je to bilo.
sada znate kad je to bilo.
20:36
This is a Tri-Star, and so they let Natasha actually sit in the jump seat.
461
1221000
4000
Bio je Tri-Star avion, pa su Natashi
dali da sjedi u pomoćnom sjedištu.
dali da sjedi u pomoćnom sjedištu.
20:40
And the pilot, Jeff Cowley, actually went back
462
1225000
3000
Pilot, Jeff Cowley, vratio se
20:43
and adopted one of the other kids at the orphanage after meeting Natasha.
463
1228000
4000
i posvojio dijete iz sirotišta
kad je upoznao Natashu.
kad je upoznao Natashu.
20:47
This is 28 hours later in Atlanta. It's a very long flight.
464
1232000
3000
28 sati kasnije u Atlanti.
Bio je to dug let.
Bio je to dug let.
20:50
Just to make things even crazier,
465
1235000
2000
Da bi stvari bile luđe,
20:52
Gail, Natasha's new mom, was three days away
466
1237000
2000
Gail, Natashina nova mama,
20:54
from giving birth to her own daughter.
467
1239000
3000
za tri će dana roditi svoju kćer.
20:57
So you know, if you were writing this, you'd say,
468
1242000
3000
Znate, da pišete ovo rekli biste:
21:00
"No, we've got to write the script differently."
469
1245000
2000
"Ne, scenarij moramo napisati drukčije."
21:02
This is the first night showing Natasha her new cousins and uncles and aunts.
470
1247000
4000
Prve noći Natasha upoznaje
svoje nove bratiće, ujake i tete.
svoje nove bratiće, ujake i tete.
21:06
Gene and Gail know everyone in Atlanta --
471
1251000
2000
Gene i Gail znaju sve u Atlanti --
21:08
they're the most social couple imaginable.
472
1253000
2000
najdruštveniji su mogući par.
21:10
So, at this point, Natasha doesn't speak a word of English,
473
1255000
2000
Natasha nije znala engleski,
21:12
other than what little Father Keene taught her.
474
1257000
4000
osim par riječi koje ju je otac Keene naučio.
21:16
This is Kylie, her sister, who's now a doctor, on the right.
475
1261000
6000
Ovo je Kylie, njena sestra,
koja je sada doktorica, na desno.
koja je sada doktorica, na desno.
21:22
This is a deal I had with Natasha, which is that when we got to Atlanta
476
1267000
4000
Dogovorio sam se s Natashom,
da kada dođemo u Atlantu
da kada dođemo u Atlantu
21:26
she could take -- she could cut off my beard.
477
1271000
2000
smije obrijati moju bradu.
21:28
She never liked it very much.
478
1273000
2000
Nikad joj se nije sviđala.
21:31
She learned English in three months.
479
1276000
2000
Naučila je engleski u tri mjeseca.
21:33
She entered seventh grade at her own age level.
480
1278000
4000
Sedmi je razred započela
na svojoj dobnoj razini.
na svojoj dobnoj razini.
21:37
Pledge of Allegiance for the first time.
481
1282000
2000
Prvi put polaže Zakletvu zastavi.
21:40
This is her cooking teacher.
482
1285000
2000
Njena učiteljica kuhanja.
21:42
Natasha told me that a lot of the kids thought she was stuck up,
483
1287000
2000
Djeca su mislila da je umišljena
21:44
because they would talk to her and she wouldn't answer,
484
1289000
2000
jer su mislili da ne želi pričati s njima,
21:46
and they didn't realize she didn't actually speak English very well, in the beginning.
485
1291000
3000
a nisu znali da na početku
nije razumjela engleski.
nije razumjela engleski.
21:49
But what I noticed, again as an observer,
486
1294000
2000
Primijetio sam, kao promatrač,
21:51
was she was choosing who was going to be on her team,
487
1296000
4000
da opet bira tko će biti u njenoj ekipi,
21:56
and seemed to be very popular very, very quickly.
488
1301000
4000
vrlo je brzo postala jako popularna.
22:00
Now, remember the picture,
489
1305000
2000
Sjećate li se slike
22:02
how much she looked like her grandmother, at the beginning?
490
1307000
2000
na kojoj liči svojoj baki, na početku?
22:04
People were always telling Natasha how much she looks like her mother, Gail.
491
1309000
6000
Natashi su ljudi govorili da liči
na svoju majku, Gail.
na svoju majku, Gail.
22:10
This is a tense moment in the first football game, I think.
492
1315000
6000
Napet trenutak na prvoj
nogometnoj utakmici, mislim.
nogometnoj utakmici, mislim.
22:16
And Kylie -- I mean, it was almost like Kylie was her own child.
493
1321000
5000
Kylie -- Kylie kao da je bila njeno dijete.
22:25
She's being baptized.
494
1330000
2000
Ovdje je krštena.
22:27
Now, a lot of parents, when they adopt,
495
1332000
2000
Puno roditelja, kada posvoje dijete
22:29
actually want to erase their children's history.
496
1334000
2000
žele izbrisati njegovu povijest.
22:31
And Gail and Gene did the complete opposite.
497
1336000
2000
Gail i Gene učinili su upravo suprotno.
22:33
They were studying Korean; they bought Korean clothes.
498
1338000
3000
Učili su korejski, kupili korejsku odjeću.
22:36
Gene even did a little tile work in the kitchen,
499
1341000
3000
Gene je čak sredio pločice u kuhinji
22:39
which was that, "Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl
500
1344000
2000
na kojima kaže: "Jednom davno,
predivna djevojčica
predivna djevojčica
22:41
that came from hills of Korea to live happily ever after in Atlanta."
501
1346000
4000
iz brda Koreje došla je i zauvijek sretno
živjela u Atlanti."
živjela u Atlanti."
22:45
She hates this picture -- it was her first job.
502
1350000
2000
Mrzi ovu sliku -- njen prvi posao.
22:47
She bought a bright red Karmann Ghia
503
1352000
3000
Kupila je žarko crveni Karmann Ghia
22:50
with the money she made working at Burger King.
504

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rick Smolan - PhotographerRick Smolan is the co-founder of the America 24/7 and Day in the Life photography series -- and a natural storyteller in many media. His latest books are America at Home and Blue Planet Run.
Why you should listen
Photographer Rick Smolan is the co-creator of the America at Home project, which captured the "emotions of home" across the United States during a week in September 2008. More than 20,000 photographers -- pros and amateurs -- sent images to a team of editors assembled by Smolan and partner Jennifer Erwitt, who turned the photos into an eye-popping book. It's become a best-seller, of course, helped along by the fact that buyers can choose their own image for the cover.
Smolan has long been a force for exploring culture through photography. The Day in the Life photography series that he cofounded -- best-selling photo books that captured life in America, Australia, the Soviet Union ... -- were an '80s cultural phenomenon. (Rare was the coffee table without at least one of them.) In the 1990s his production company, Against All Odds, investigated the storytelling powers of interactive CD-ROMs with From Alice to Ocean, a narrative of a cross-Australia trek, and Passage to Vietnam, exploring that country as it opened up in the early 1990s. 24 Hours in Cyberspace took a snapshot of the booming industry in 1996, and One Digital Day in 1997 further explored our fascination with tech.
Along with collaborator Jennifer Erwitt, Smolan published the beautiful Blue Planet Run in 2007, about the drive to bring fresh drinking water to everyone on Earth. It's packed with glorious (and sometimes shocking) images and data about our planet's water. In an unprecedented move, Amazon.com offers Blue Planet Run as a free PDF download.

Smolan's latest work is The Obama Time Capsule, a collection of photographs and insights capturing the historical election of President Barack Obama, from the beginning of his campaign to his first 100 days in office.
