Continuity mistake: There's a clear mix-up in editing during the car chase. Marta checks her phone twice for Blanc's calls as she tries to get away from the police. The first time the phone signals 9:36 AM, the second time 9:34 AM. (01:31:50)

Trivia: At the end, Benoit Blanc says he noticed the blood on Marta's shoe the first time she stepped in front of him. Rewatching the sequence when they first meet, as he says "I've been doin' a little pokin'" he does indeed look down as he speaks and takes a fraction of a second pause, noticing the blood but continuing to talk as normal. (00:23:45)
Question: How come Ransom did not realise that Marta had not given Harlan the morphine when he went back to the study room to switch the evidence?
