The Interpreter stars Nicole Kidman who plays the UN interpreter Silvia Broome. When Silvia returns to the UN building at night to collect some of her possessions, she accidentally overhears a death threat against an African head of state, in a language only she and a few others can speak. Silvia then also becomes a target and her world is turned upside down. Under the protection of federal agent Tobin Keller (Sean Penn), Silvia's past is dug deep into.

A reporter, his photographer and a guide turn up for a meeting at an abandoned football stadium. Inside three kids are playing football; they show the two men (the photographer staying outside) a pile of bodies hidden in the stadium. Shots are fired and the photographer runs, scared and not sure what happened, but fearing the worst.
