#hes so dramatic..............................

In Glass Onion he believes Helen that one of these rich and powerful people murdered her sister and he believes she found the proof even though he never saw it. He invites himself to a secluded island with a killer on it so he can help her solve this. And in the end he was never even able to see at the napkin but he trusts Helen's anger, her love for her sister, so he removes himself and lets her destroy everything in vengeance for Andi. And I think he also believes that once she does that, the others will turn on Miles.

In Wake Up Dead Man he believes that if he lets Martha walk out those doors, she will come back again of her own free will. He risks letting her "escape." He, as Martha points out, makes a fool of himself saying he can't solve this case, to give her the chance to confess in a way that means something to her in a religion he doesn't follow or agree with. He knows, from Jud, that she has to confess voluntarily or it won't mean anything. He knows she's going to die. It would be easy for her to just go home and die never having told anyone. But Benoit believes that she will confess, and he wants it to be in a way that allows her let go of the guilt.

“It figures… What do I look like, an ad guy?? I don’t even KNOW any ad guys!! [sulking] …Mike, I’ll be in my trailer…”

they’re both so overdramatic. they really are made for each other…
