without raising any suspicion.

Can't you go?

You must know people at their lab.

I can't move from here.

- Are you under arrest?

- Of course not.

But they want to question me.

I'll call when I can. Love you. Ciao.

I love you t...

You can't smoke here.

In this situation

can't you turn a blind eye?

The forensic wants to talk to you.

In your statement you say

your wife returned from L.A.

this morning. Is that right?

- Yes. A business trip.

- I see she had a fear of flying.

She'd done various therapies. Why?

Stress on long flights

can 'cause cardiac arrest.

You think Mayka had a cardiac

because of the trip?

There is that possibility.

Though we have no record

of any cardiovascular hazard.

Perhaps it wasn't detected.

I don't know, you're the expert.

Mayka thought she was invincible.

Perhaps that takes its toll.

Perhaps.

But without an autopsy

it's impossible to verify.

Any schizophrenic episode?

No.

- Parkinson's?

- Not that either.

Epilepsy?

It's all in her medical file.

I don't get it.

The doctors didn't live with her.

You did.

I don't get what this has to do

with my wife's disappearance.

I'd like to rule out a theory

that'd explain what happened.

What?

Catalepsy.

What did you say?

Alright, Silvia...

Do you really think it's possible

the corpse wasn't a corpse?

I certified her death

and I did my job properly,

but circumstances force me

to reconsider everything.

It makes no sense.

If she woke up,

why not cry out for help?

Why disappear?

He's right. It's more logical

that someone came for her.

And from a medical viewpoint,

more probable.

Then let's return to the 21st century

and assume that the 'cause of death

was heart attack,

as in your preliminary report.

The question is:

Why was the body taken?

There's a principle

in forensic medicine:

"Every death is a homicide

until proven otherwise."

Cardiac arrest can be induced

by submitting a person

to extreme tension.

Or administering substances

that have the same result.

But nothing's demonstrable

without an autopsy.

And no body, no autopsy.

What did you think

when you spoke to him?

I was surprised

how he referred to his wife.

He spoke about her in the past,

with no hesitation.

Ruth died several years ago...

and I still talk about her

as if she were alive.

His wife died this afternoon.

I'll find out everything about him.

I'm sorry you had to come

at this time of night.

And in this weather.

Pablo tells me you came back

from a trip today,

to see Eva.

I hope she's alright.

She's fine.

Or seems to be at least.

And you?

How are you?

They told you everything.

I heard you were suspended again,

you went into therapy again...
