Massachusetts doesn't recognize holographic wills note Some states accept a holographic will (i.e.

The fact that Harlan appears to have simply drawn up the will himself and given it to his lawyer in a sealed envelope means it was not properly witnessed and could be easily challenged in court.

Alan Stevens, the family attorney, insists that Harlan's will is airtight and can only be overturned by Marta being convicted of causing Harlan's death, but the film takes place in Massachusetts, which actually has laws to the contrary:.

Arc Words: "In for a penny, in for a pound.".

Joni: "No, it hasn't changed"? Or "no, we can't ask"? Joni: Can we ask why? Has something changed?

Ambiguous Syntax: Blanc's request to the Thrombeys to stay at the mansion until he officially completes the investigation has this form.

It leaves it vague exactly what Marta plans to do with Harlan's inheritance, will she share it with his family or not give them a dime like Harlan intended? The important thing, though, is that it is up to her.

Ambiguous Ending: The movie ends with Ransom being hauled off to prison while Marta stands on the balcony of Thrombey Manor, drinking from Harlan's mug and looking down on his family.

Destroying the evidence of the report only created a window of ambiguity which leaves Marta's innocence in question. Harlan did not have a morphine overdose, which was why the police were not taking the case seriously at first. To a lesser extent, Ransom's plan failed the minute the toxicology reports were done.However, he did think she was somewhat involved until figuring out that Harlan actually did commit suicide. Blanc saw the bloodstain on Marta's shoe and suspected her as soon as they met, making the efforts to cover up the crime pointless.

Marta's car drives, but as she and Ransom discover, it is woefully unsuited for a police chase (she can barely get it to go 60 miles per hour while flooring it!). When Marta hands Blanc the toxicology report, she comments, "You're not much of a detective." Blanc replies, "Well, to be fair, you make a pretty lousy murderer." This gets a chuckle out of Marta.When Ransom quips that Benoit Blanc is straight out of " CSI: KFC", Lt.Marta cannot stop giggling as she calls him a Sore Loser. Harlan playfully flips the Go board when Marta starts beating him and claims that her not going easy on him is elder abuse.We later discover that Ransom switched the liquids in Marta's medicine bottles, meaning she gave Harlan the proper medication, and only thought she had made a mistake because she was so good at her job that she instinctively could tell which bottle had the right medicine in it without looking at the labels. It seems at first that Marta accidentally gave Harlan a lethal overdose of morphine, causing the man to hatch a complicated scheme to clear her name of murder, ending in Harlan slitting his own throat.
