Under Suspicion

“In a world of secrets, the truth is never what it seems.”

Henry Hearst (Gene Hackman), a lawyer with a speech to give that night, agrees to stop by the police station and clear up a few loose ends in his witness report on a murder. Captain Victor Benezet (Morgan Freeman) tells him it will take ten minutes, then keeps finding one more question to ask. Stephen Hopkins stays close on the two men across a single table, letting the minutes pile up.
