Come on, Benny, talk to me, all right? Now, you tell me to invite all of these people back for questioning all over again. I get it. Listen, I've had boots on the ground in this county for a while now. People are generally what they seem to be. You're not gonna find murderers in this family. This is a pleasant family with the usual quarrels, but no possible motives for murder. Where are you going?

You have been double-dipping Meg's tuition and stealing from me. $100,000 a year, for the past four years. Harlan, I don't know how this mix-up happened, but I swear to God... So, now I am writing this tuition check, but you must know that this is the last money you or Meg will get from me. Please, you don't understand... Joni, I know it'll hurt, but it's all for the best.

Both were true. She was pocketing the double payment. Harlan found out, and cut her off without a cent. Yes? So she bumps him off for the inheritance? Come on, no, have you seen her Insta? She's an influencer. No, allowance as a motive? Again, more weak sauce. You're just dumpin' that vat of weak sauce on me. Granted. But she lied to me.

I've been doin' a little pokin'. You were hired on a part-time basis as a registered nurse, yes? Uh, yes. I don't work for a VNA. Harlan hired me directly. Take a seat, please. And you're paid a flat rate for how many hours a week? Um... Well, I started at 15, and then he...

Oh, my God. All right, don't answer that if you're gonna puke again, please. Meg said he paid the school directly. Joni said he sent the money to her.

And there is no other staircase up to Harlan's room? None. Just the creaky one. Interesting. So, uh, we know that Ransom didn't do it because he wasn't there. Marta couldn't have. Harlan was still alive when she left. - Yeah. - Meg... Meg came home during the window - of the time of death, right? - Now look, look, it was a... Except it was a suicide, all right? Harlan slit right through his carotid. We saw from the blood splat patterns that they were uninterrupted, meaning, it's almost impossible for anyone to have been around him at the time. He's the one who cut his own throat, all right? I don't know why we keep goin' over this. Physical evidence can tell a clear story with a forked tongue.

And sometime later that night, it's undetermined, but possibly near 3:00 a.m., Meg woke up because the dogs were barking outside. She used the bathroom, went back to bed. That's it. All right? Now, everyone's stories matched, every moment accounted for.

Miss Cabrera, um... We kept you waiting all afternoon, because I wanted to hear from you last. I needed an entire picture of the evening in my head, and your piece of it is at its very center.
