Right, um... Would you say that all three of you showed up around the same time?

Everyone idolizes their dad, right? I don't know. Do they?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Um... This is Benoit Blanc. - Benoit Blanc? - Yes. Mr. Blanc is a private investigator of great renown. Wait a minute. I read a tweet about a New Yorker article about you. "The Last of the Gentlemen Sleuths." You solved that case with the tennis champ? You're famous. Mr. Blanc is not with the police department and not officially involved in the case, but he's offered to consult. Now, I happily obliged, and I can vouch for him. Mr. Blanc, I know who you are. I read your profile in the New Yorker. I found it delightful. I just buried my 85-year-old father who committed suicide. Why are you here? I'm here at the behest of a client.

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.
