The Interpreter Page #2
- Rather, I didn't know what it meant.
- But now you do.
I don't know if I'm permitted.
- It was in a closed...
- You are.
In fact, you're obligated,
as you were last night when you didn't.
I think they were talking
about Edmond Zuwanie.
He's planning to come here
to address the GA.
Can you see her?
Turn on the light.
Call the Secret Service.
[# Zenvox:
Bump]Bet you really miss this. Welcome back.
Ma'am? Excuse me.
Please don't touch the Prime Minister.
- [cell phone rings]
- I need you to step back, please.
Woods.
[Raised voices]
The first of the demonstrators.
They're here to protest the appearance
later this week by Edmond Zuwanie.
Not just his political future
but any future for him
hinges on that speech
to the General Assembly.
Dr Zuwanie is accused of genocide,
but he's expected to argue that his actions
were a defensive response to terrorism
and not acts of aggression, as some
Security Council members have charged.
- Secret Service.
- Just a moment, please.
We're with Foreign Dignitary Protection.
- It's a branch of the US government.
- Dot.
This is international territory.
I need you to wait for an escort.
Zuwanie lands at 8.45 hours.
State Department says no meet-and-greet,
no shopping, no Lion King.
He leaves your podium,
his plane has two hours to clear US airspace,
unless the UN cancels the visit
and Tobin and I can get back
to the important work we were doing.
That's up to the GA President.
We just present a threat assessment.
- Why is he coming?
- To make a speech.
To escape the International Criminal Court.
Security Council was debating whether
to bring charges of ethnic cleansing,
so he'll come,
talk about free elections and reform
and pray that that appeases everyone.
So the stakes are high.
He's not going to cancel.
Tell me about the interpreter.
Born here, but lived mostly
in Africa and Europe.
She studied music in Johannesburg
and linguistics at the Sorbonne
and various countries in Europe.
Parents?
British mother, white African father.
Moved here five years ago.
Interview couldn't have taken long.
She's just what they want.
- She is the UN.
- Can she cook?
What else do we know?
Since the initial clearance.
Is she married?
Does she have a child?
Does she belong to any clubs?
Is she registered to vote?
Democrat? Republican?
What religion is she?
Who is she?
Silvia.
[They speak Spanish]
Secret Service Dignitary Protection Squad.
We're responsible for visiting heads of state.
- I don't recall seeing you around.
- They hire us for our forgettable faces.
- Is she on guard?
- Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am. Why is it you guys who carry guns
