I'm writing a screenplay that currently has two working titles; "Five More Minutes" and now, thanks to your good self, "Suspicio". If in a couple of years you see a produced movie with either of those titles, you'll know it wasn't in vain. Thank you so very much for your time and help. Greatly appreciated!!!

This is the imperative (command) form which I assumed was what you were looking for.

The infinitives are:
suspicere - to look up
levare oculos - to look up (literally, to raise your eyes)
