Guaranteed, you\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0find a more fiendish film this winter.\u201d<\/p>\n Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery\u00a0ending explained:\u00a0how does Benoit Blanc solve the murder?<\/p>\n Blanc is enlisted to investigate the death of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, who was found stabbed inside a side-room in his church as he is in the middle of delivering a service. The detective works alongside the local police chief and O\u2019Connor\u2019s priest to dissect the crime.<\/p>\n The apparent dagger had a devil-head ornament at its crown that O\u2019Connor\u2019s character Jud Duplenticy had taken from a local bar and thrown through the church window. Blanc discovers that a second ornament had also been plucked from the bar, and deduces that Jeremy Renner\u2019s Dr. Nat Sharp had been the one to seize it.<\/p>\n Blanc\u00a0ascertains\u00a0that Sharp had planted the dagger, with the ornament atop it, into Wicks\u2019 robe, along with a blood capsule. By lacing Wicks\u2019 drinks flask with\u00a0tranquiliser, Sharp arranged for the capsule to burst, making it appear that he had been stabbed. Posing as an attending doctor, he used a moment of privacy\u00a0to stab him for real.<\/p>\n After Blanc reveals the plot, Glenn Close\u2019s Martha Delacroix interrupts his revelation to\u00a0confess that she orchestrated a plan to stage Wicks\u2019\u00a0fake resurrection. She knew that the church\u2019s fortune was contained in a jewel that was swallowed by Wicks\u2019 grandfather when she was a child and hatched\u00a0a plan to enter the Wicks family tomb to extract it.<\/p>\n As Martha continues her confession, it becomes clear that she has taken a poison and she dies in Duplenticy\u2019s arms and the jewel falls from her hand. One year later, as Duplenticy holds his first mass, it is revealed that he has housed the jewel in a Christ figure at the head of the church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"**Warning: spoilers ahead** The latest\u00a0Knives Out\u00a0film\u00a0Wake Up Dead Man\u00a0is streaming now, but\u00a0how does Benoit Blanc solve the murder?…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315462,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,936,2839,392,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-315461","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-explainer","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-netflix","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
