The Ending Of 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery' ...

Detective Benoit Blanc exposes Martha Delacroix as the killer behind a church murder and diamond conspiracy involving multiple deaths and betrayals.

  • Today , Netflix released Wake Up Dead Man, and Benoit Blanc unmasked Martha Delacroix as the murderer during the film's final revelation.
  • The plot hinges on the revelation that Prentice Wicks swallowed Eve's Apple, a diamond funding the family fortune, and Martha Delacroix kept this secret for decades to flee Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude.
  • Martha's plan required Samson Holt to be interred in the Wicks family tomb so he could retrieve the diamond and 'resurrect' after three days via a tomb designed to open from the inside.
  • Martha Delacroix ultimately confesses the murders and dies in Jud Duplenticy's arms after ingesting poison, delivering the diamond to Jud and Benoit Blanc, who hide it inside a crucifix as Jud prepares to reopen Our Lady of Perpetual Grace.
  • The film marks a darker turn for the franchise by adopting a more violent tone with the most on-screen deaths, while Rian Johnson grounds the story in faith through Benoit Blanc's scepticism and Jud Duplenticy's devotion.
