Corrected entry: The second scene shows Marta bringing Harlan his coffee first to his bedroom, and when he is not there she goes upstairs to his den only to find him on the sofa with his throat slashed. This does not make sense since she later tells Blanc the true story and how she saw Harlan slash his own throat. Therefore the second scene where she looks for him and then surprised to find his body makes no sense. Furthermore it is unlikely that any blood would have gotten on her shoe since she was a distance away in the doorway when Harlan slashed his throat. Unlikely that the blood would have splattered that far away.

Correction: Fran discovered the body, not Marta. Also, arterial blood can splatter a significant distance.
She was no where near his body when he cuts his throat.

Correction: I am very confused. What 'second scene'? Are we talking about the opening? The person bringing the coffee is not Marta, it's the housemaid, Fran. She does not know anything about what went on, so her reaction is genuine.
