Miles is just a dumb asshole killer who used the easiest or stolen method for each attack. His attempt to kill Helen was even stolen from Blanc's warning about the danger of the party. He had assumed that Miles Bron was a genius, but he's just a "vanglorious buffoon" who either vamps his way through life (his big words were incorrect and he barely understands disruption theory), or pays/manipulates smart people to do the work and let him take credit (he didn't even write his murder mystery game). Duke died because of the allergic reaction, but Miles was able to spin it as an attempted poisoning targeted as himself, to avert suspicion.īy the end of his big deduction speech, Blanc has pulled back all the layers to show that nothing about the case was as complicated as it seemed. When the group received the Covid-blocking throat shot earlier in the film, Duke had mentioned an allergy, saying "Duke don't dance with pineapple." So all Miles had to do was prepare a cocktail with pineapple juice and switch the glasses. The viewing stats bump that Duke showed Miles right before he died was actually a news alert about Andi's death, as the streamer blackmailed Miles.Īs for the poison, Duke and Miles did switch drinks, but it was Miles' move rather than an accident. It turns out that Duke had seen Miles leaving Andi's house on the day of her murder and figured out that the tech mogul had something to do with her death. The aggro YouTuber had been courting Miles for a gig at Alpha News throughout the movie, even sending Whiskey (Madelyn Cline) to seduce him.
Who killed Duke during the party?ĭuke's murder was a spur-of-the-moment decision for Miles. So the person with the most motive killed Andi, her former business partner. But it turned out that he would do anything to keep his power, including drugging her and faking her suicide. Andi was weary of Miles' "machine of lawyers and power," but she didn't fear the ineffectual man at the center. The mogul was actually in New York at that time, visiting Whiskey, and he drove to her house. Blanc discovers that Lionel had faxed Miles a copy of Andi's email, letting Miles know about the envelope. It turned out that there didn't need to be a degree of separation between Miles and Andi's potential downfalls. They nearly solve the mystery, before Helen is shot by an unseen figure.
The big mystery that Helen and Blanc had to solve was who killed Andi to save Miles' ass, and by association their own, after she discovered the napkin. Each of the Disruptors had visited Andi's house that night around the time of her death, claiming that they left after Andi didn't answer. The reveal would take them all down, not only leaving Miles unable to support all their careers, but also proving them guilty of perjury. She was going to use it to prove her case, and she sent an email to each of the Disruptors, with a picture of a red envelope containing the napkin. On the day of her death, Andi had actually found the original napkin, which was etched with the bar's logo. He got all the Disruptors to lie for him, and she lost. In response, Miles cut her out of the legal ownership, and when she went to court with a claim that she had intellectual ownership over the original idea, he claimed that he was the one who had written the idea for Alpha on a napkin at the Glass Onion bar all those years ago. Andi had threatened to walk away from Alpha and take half the company so he didn't put more resources into his unstable super-fuel Klear. When Helen came to Blanc about the murder, he realized the best way to investigate was to join Miles' weekend getaway, with Helen posing as Andi to shake the killer off-guard and help investigate.Ī recap of the case: Andi was found dead of an apparent suicide several days before the weekend at the Glass Onion, after she lost her court battle with Miles. Andi died over a week ago, and her twin sister Helen (also played by Monáe) believes that she was murdered. froze her out of her multi-billion dollar company. An extensive flashback reveals that Andi, Miles' former business partner portrayed by the brilliant Janelle Monáe, didn't decide to come on the trip anyway after Miles and Co. At first it seems that Blanc will be solving Miles' eventual murder, but then the real mystery of the film is revealed with one of Johnson's inventive twists.
