- 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.

That means she's lying! Yeah, man, we know. That's right.

Oh, yes. Fran... ...who will confirm this very story or something close to it.

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.

I feel simultaneously freed by and supported by them.

It's that balance of opposites that's the nugget of Flam.

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?
Knives Out

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.

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