He is called to the police station to be questioned about his finding of a raped and murdered young girl the day before. Victor Benezet (Morgan Freeman), and the younger Detective Felix Owens (Thomas Jane) question him. Hearst changes his story several times: he was jogging with a neighbour's dog, he found her, the dog found her, he was jogging without the dog, so the police think he has done it, Benezet is pressured by his boss (Miguel Ángel Suárez) to free Hearst so that he can give his speech. As there is no conclusive proof, Benezet has to let him go. At the party, a crowd is gossiping, and Chantal Hearst (Monica Bellucci), Henry's wife, has to keep her face emotionless. She will be questioned later, (after her husband gives his speech without his wig), to confirm why she and her husband sleep in separate rooms. Little by little, the story that each of them tells, changes. Hearst first blames Chantal for being jealous. Then, it is discovered he likes cheap, very young prostitutes. Hearst says that Chantal and artist Paco Rodriguez (Luis Caballero) are lovers. He is the husband of Chantal's sister María (Jacqueline Duprey). Chantal says that she saw Hearst with her niece Camille (Isabel Algaze), giving her presents and trying to seduce her. Also, she tells that once she saw her husband washing his blood-stained clothes at night. Pressure over Henry increases. Finally, Chantal the legal owner of the mansion where they live (it was Henry's present), signs a permit to let the police look for more clear proof. In the dark room, they find photographs of the two murdered girls and many previous snapshots of them. Henry says that it must be Chantal's trap. He does not divorce her because she would be entitled to one half of everything and the mansion. Ultimately, he breaks under the pressure and confesses to the crimes; just as the detectives are notified that the real killer has been arrested "caught in the act." Benezet and Owens then free Henry, but Henry never forgives Chantal for trying to frame him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Under Suspicion (2000 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
