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.

Yeah, it's skincare, but it promotes a total lifestyle. Self-sufficiency with an acknowledgement of human need. That's Flam. But it's also Harlan. He got me and Meg through some tough times. Grandad gives my mom a yearly allowance and he's never missed wiring a tuition payment to my schools.

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.

I mean, we're all gutted, but, uh, I was happy to have that night with him. To be by his side. To think about our books and what we've accomplished with them. It's like I can still feel his hand on my shoulder.

Thirty languages. Over 80 million copies sold. A real legacy. Mmm-hmm. - You guys fans? I mean, I don't do much fiction reading myself, but... Big fan. I'm a big fan. I mean, his plots are just like... Like, I won't spoil it for you but... Okay, like Thousand Knives? The Cow and the Shotgun? Like, where do you come up with that? Well, Dad said the plots just popped into his head, fully formed. It was the easy part for him.

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?

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.

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.

So... How you doing, kiddo? We're just gonna reintroduce ourselves as a formality. I am Detective Lieutenant Elliot, and this is Trooper Wagner. Now, um, I'm going to record this, just to make things easier. All right, we're with Linda Drysdale nee Thrombey, Harlan Thrombey's eldest daughter, and discussing the events that took place the night of his demise one week ago. November eighth. We're very sorry for your loss. Thank you. That means a lot. So, we understand on that night the family had gathered to celebrate your father's 85th birthday? Yes. - How was it? Uh... - The party? Pre-my-dad's-death? Oh, it was great. Did anyone besides the family show face? Um, Fran, the housekeeper. He was a nice guy, but he was so hairy. - Jacob? - And I've dated Italian guys. You know what I mean? It was like... Marta, Harlan's caregiver. Good girl. Hard worker. Her family's from Ecuador.
