seeking recommendations: fiction with interesting interrogation/therapy/etc scenes?

[queenlua]

what it says on the tin! basically, i'm interested in hearing from y'all: any recommendations you've got for really good/interesting scenes from any kind of fiction (film, movie, novels, whatever) in which there is (1) Person A, who is interested in finding out something from Person B, and (2) Person B, who has a vested interest in not revealing that thing (whether or not they consciously realize it), and (3) there's relatively little action happening in their scenes together besides them talking. (so, this could be anything ranging from "gritty grimdark interrogation" to "the only piece of fiction that's ever managed to make a therapy session look compelling," lol, so long as it's relatively talk-y)

for some reason i'm getting a mental block on this and can only think of The Silence of the Lambs? which is, y'know, great at what it's doing, but i'm trying to collect a few examples/case studies for the sake of A Thing I'm Working On TM

so yeah, reply a way, and thanks a bunch if you can help!

The Bright Sessions is a podcast that is structured as a series of therapy sessions. (I haven't actually listened to it, but it's very popular and highly rated within the audiodrama world. I think it must definitely fulfil the "piece of fiction that makes a therapy session look compelling" challenge :D)
