Difference between "i am going to need" and "I need"
Hi! I saw a line in CSI. I am not that sure what the difference is
between "I am going to need someone/something" and "I need someone/something".
He says " we are going to need an interpreter."
I feel like there might be a slightly different nuance when saying.
Is there anyone who makes me clear on this? Thanks in advance.

The difference is that if I say "I need X" I need it right now. If I say "I"m going to need X" I will need it at some point in the future.
