‘Cross’: New Clip Sees a Suspect Getting Cross-Examined!! Check It Out!!

Aldis Hodge‘s Alex Cross is in his element in the interrogation room in a new clip from Prime Video‘s Cross. The adaptation of James Patterson‘s detective hero will premiere on the streamer on November 14. The clip, revealed today at New York Comic Con, shows a defiant suspect insists that there’s no way forensic psychologist Cross is going to get a confession out of him. However, the ever-wiley Cross is several steps ahead of his condescending quarry, and has already caught a key clue – a quote from William Shakespeare‘s Macbeth. The suspect had claimed that “life’s fitful fever” was all that was ailing him, while Cross recognizes the quote as one describing the burden of guilt that weighs upon the murderous thane.

Furthermore, Cross insists that the DA is ready to press charges, and given his impending imprisonment in Washington DC, his suspect might want to look into protective custody. What is this suspect’s crime, and where does the story go from here? You’ll have to tune in yourself when all eight episodes of Cross premiere on Prime Video next month. The series has already been renewed for a second season, which was announced back in April.
