The Usual Suspects

In the aftermath of a bloody shootout and fire on board a ship in the port, Customs Agent Kujan (Chazz Palminteri) talks to one of the two survivors, the small time confidence trickster Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey). The other is badly burned and in a coma perhaps never to recover.

This is not an interrogation: Kint has made a deal somehow and will shortly to be granted bail but when pressured he starts to recount how he came to be in this situation. His testimony is sealed and none of this can be used in court so it'll serve to pass the time.
