The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe family is still gathered when the lawyer thanks them for coming. Blanc asks them to stay in town; the detective turns that polite request into an order. Then the envelope opens: Harlan changed his will a week before he died. First a letter asks them to accept the choice with grace. Then the legal sentence lands: everything goes to Marta. The Thrombeys explode. Ransom arrives late and tells her she should probably run.
