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.

Oh, my God! Come on, Dad! Wouldn't leave him alone, the poor guy. Harlan finally had to give him the hook. The Netflix guys, their business affair guy... I didn't hear what he said, but he must've really handed him his lunch. 'Cause Walt was like a wounded puppy the rest of the night. What? Richard said what? No. Jesus. We did not get "into it." I'm just trying to get an accurate impression. Harlan took you aside at the party. When you returned, you were chastened.

What did Harlan say to you?

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.

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... - From Hamilton. Oh, Hamilton. It's so good. It's so good. - I saw it at The Public. - Oh!

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.

- Thank you. - Just marvelous. You know, the whole family, too. And Joni with her thing, and Walt with his publishing empire... It's...

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.

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.

He's a genuinely selfless man. But you left the party early? Have fun. To see some friends at Smith. You know Dad pays for her crypto-Marxist-post- deconstructural- feminist-poetry-theory- whatever major? She could have stuck around for the cake. I think Linda was upset.
