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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

It's just not the same. But surely Walt runs the merchandising, adaptations, film and television rights, I mean... Are you baiting me, Detective?

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.

Yes, I mean, Walt, he's done well with what Dad gave him. Not that it matters. But really, Dad hands him a book twice a year and Walt publishes it.

You know he doesn't. And if you think I am dumb enough to be baited into talking family business, into shit-talking my baby brother, in front of a police detective, and a state trooper... Walt doesn't run shit. Because there are no TV and film rights. Harlan never allowed any adaptations of his books. Hated the idea. No. Yeah! Drives Walt nuts. 'Cause that's where the real money is. When Walt would get a little Irish courage in him, - he'd get into it with Harlan. - The window is... Did he "get into it" at the party?

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.
