Um... This is Benoit Blanc. - Benoit Blanc? - Yes. Mr. Blanc is a private investigator of great renown. Wait a minute. I read a tweet about a New Yorker article about you. "The Last of the Gentlemen Sleuths." You solved that case with the tennis champ? You're famous. Mr. Blanc is not with the police department and not officially involved in the case, but he's offered to consult. Now, I happily obliged, and I can vouch for him. Mr. Blanc, I know who you are. I read your profile in the New Yorker. I found it delightful. I just buried my 85-year-old father who committed suicide. Why are you here? I'm here at the behest of a client.

Fine. Are we getting there? Nearly. Um... Harlan's nurse, she was at the party in a professional capacity? Marta? I guess. Harlan hired her to be around to take care of whatever medical needs popped up. But really, she's like part of the family.
