Who is that guy? And why are we doing all this again? This is just some follow-up questions. Um, we're attempting to be thorough, so we can figure out the manner of death. So by "manner of death," you mean if someone killed him? If one of us killed him? - One of his family killed him? - No, no, Walt, Walt, no, no... Is that what you're suggesting, Lieutenant? No one's saying that, okay? This is all pro-forma.

Passing the torch. So, we're here with Joni Thrombey, Harlan Thrombey's daughter-in-law? Mmm-hmm. Yeah, I married his son, Neil. We had one daughter, Meg. And then Neil passed on 15 years ago. But you remained close to the Thrombeys? Oh! They're my family.

Then I'll recede, but... As a self-made man myself, I have to express my admiration for how you followed in your father's footsteps.

Richard came early to help the caterers set up. Okay. And you and your husband, Richard, work at a real estate firm in Boston? No. It's... It's my company. Right. Right. Sorry. I built my business from the ground up. Oh, just like your father. You two were very close. We... We had our own secret way of communicating. I mean, you had to find that with Dad. You had to find a game to play with him, and if you did that, and you played by his rules...

And Wanetta. Great nana. Harlan's mom. - Hi, Nana. - His mom? - Nana? - Wow. How old is she? We have no idea. Okay, um, and your son, Ransom, did he attend as well? Yes, but he left early.

Sure. For the record, I'm speaking with Walt Thrombey, Harlan Thrombey's youngest son. So, you run your father's publishing company? Yeah. It's my... It's our... Uh, it's the family's publishing company. Dad trusts me to run it.

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.

I cannot say. But let me assure you this. My presence will be ornamental. You will find me a respectful, quiet, passive observer of the truth.

Jesus, Donna! Are you all right? My son, Jacob, he's 16. Very politically active. The boy is literally a Nazi. He's an alt-right troll dipshit. Kids today with the Internet, it's amazing. So the night went well?

You killed him, you bastard! You murdered him! I didn't murder nobody! You slashed his face open. You left him bleeding in the street like a stuck pig, then you crushed his skull with a forklift and burned his hands off to erase the fingerprints! You'll never prove it. We have the nanny-cam footage! Alice, turn that off now, please? - You're under arrest for... - Why? It's almost over. - Now. Please, just turn it off. - What? They're finding out who did it and the WiFi sucks in my room, - so give me a break. - Turn it off, now. - There's two minutes left. - Alice! - What? There isn't even anything bad on. - Off! It's just normal TV - and they're just talking! - They're talking murder on it! Normal TV, and they're just talking! Your sister just had a friend she loved... - Okay, okay! Okay! Whatever. - ...slit his throat open and she doesn't need to be hearing that right now! Let's be sensitive!

Very much not. Don't know why I said that. But my wife, Linda, does. Harlan started out with a rusty Smith Corona and built himself into one of the best-selling mystery writers of all time. Wow, seems like all his kids are self-made overachievers.

Um, so you're in the area, right? Uh, you guys probably arrived around the same time. Uh... We all got here around 8:00. My wife, Donna, she's my rock.
