- Maybe she has help.

- From whom?

I don't know, but her death was

certified. She can do what she likes.

No one can accuse her.

Don't you see?

F*** the money.

F*** it all. Get out of there

and we'll run away.

Alex, do you hear me? Alex?

I have to go.

I'll call you when I can.

Be careful. I love you.

Let me guess.

Your sister.

She's worried.

She thinks I should go home.

Your mobile.

Please.

We haven't found out anything

from Ulloa's phone,

no info of any use to us.

He erased all incoming

and outgoing calls.

I spoke to the company too,

but no luck.

He's calling an unlisted number.

It's impossible to know who it is.

Any news on Norma?

She just got back.

The woods are a mess,

but a team's covering the perimeter

with sniffer dogs.

They'll set out

when the storm's over.

Someone set off the fire alarm.

Maybe by starting a fire

with a butt we found

in the bathroom,

near the sensors.

It must be his, I smelt smoke

when I went to get him.

The water flooded the area.

The scientists are going nuts.

It's impossible to trace anything.

Son of a b*tch.

That's not all.

The report on TH-16 arrived.

It's a cardie-toxin,

very rarely used in medicines.

It's extracted from the fluids

of certain reptiles.

Diluted in blood,

it causes a cardiac 8 hours

after ingestion and leaves no trace.

We need a transfer car.

I'm taking him to the station.

I'll get right on it.

Put him in a locked room,

with constant surveillance.

Alright.

I'm going for a smoke,

I'll be right back.

And this guy...

- Take his cigarettes away.

- Okay.

Did you lock it?

Yes. There's just that door,

but I'm not going in there.

And he can't get out.

Tonight you will be mine.

Mayka?

Mayka?

Mayka?

Is that you?

Who's this?

Who am I talking to?

Patricia, at Arabesco.

And no, Mayka's not here.

She forgot her phone...

and I'm busy.

- Wait, don't hang up!

- I'm fed up with this,

so unless you can tell Mayka

to contact us...

Listen, you have to tell me

how you got this phone.

Mayka was my wife.

She died this afternoon.

The last time I saw her,

she had her phone.

Excuse me?

My wife's dead

and you have her phone.

The phone was left behind tonight.

I need to know who left it.

What did they look like?

I don't know,

it was left in the bathroom.

How do you know

it's my wife's phone?

She got calls!

Look at her contacts

and tell me the numbers.

It's empty- Look...

Sorry about your wife,

but I can't help you, it's late

and I'm tired.

Listen... Patricia.

My wife and I came there a lot.

If I describe her, you can tell me

if she or someone linked to her

left the phone.

You just said your wife was dead.

I know, but...

Don't lie to me.

Don't drag me into your problems.

I'm not lying.

My wife may be alive.

It's complicated.

See if the screen says "redirect".

Yes, it does.

Hey... Hello?

D*ckhead.

Arabesco...

Ready?

Are you going to tell me

what we're celebrating?

I got an agreement

to sign the takeover.

In a couple of weeks

I'm going to L.A.

- You did it.

- Yes!

Why don't you come with me?

We could escape to Santa Catalina.

We can book a room in Avalon.

We're about to test a new patent.

Excuse me a moment.

An appetizer while you're waiting?

No, thanks, I'm fine.

I'll be back shortly

to take your order.

Who's that?

Nobody.

Were you talking about me?

You won't like it.

He's my new lawyer.

What's wrong with Gloria?

As well as being my sister,

she's also your lawyer,

and I want to revise

our marriage contract.

The property division.

You can't be serious.

I'm always serious with you.

Even if I laugh at you constantly.

You want everyone

at your feet, don't you?

Not everyone.

You, yes.

GO' you!

You handed that to me

on a platter!

It's not funny.

If he's not your lawyer,

who is he?

My psychoanalyst.

I didn't know

you saw a psychoanalyst.

There are...

lots of things

you don't know about me.

You really can't come?

You won't reconsider the trip?

- Yes?

- Carla, it's me.

Where are you calling from?

The police have my mobile.

They locked me in a room with

another phone, but it's no accident.

- What was that?

- I just got home.

I'll wait here until you get out,

then we'll run away.

What's no accident?

The contact list

has only one number: Mayka's.

But her phone's still missing.

Who does the phone belong to?

Javier Alonso. I don't know

who he is, but a few weeks ago.

Mayka saw a man in the restaurant

I just phoned called Arabesco.

I don't get it.

Mayka's number

in this mobile's contact list

is calling a phone left in Arabesco.

- Another forgotten mobile?

- Never mind.

Mayka said that man

was her psychoanalyst,

but she was lying.

Now she wants me

to make the link with her,

Arabesco, the forgotten phone

and that man.

I think he's Javier Alonso.

But I don't know how he fits in.

You have to help me.

His details are on your screen.

When we find out who Alonso is,

we'll discover Mayka's game.

Where'd you get that phone?

I'm looking at the corpse

of Javier Alonso.

The mobile was in his body bag.

Help me find out

who Javier Alonso was

and we'll get out of this.

I'll tell you something.

Where's Eva?

Under observation.

You'd better go back to her.

I'm going in.

She's so pretty.

Go to Mummy.

Oh, my girl... Hello, Eva.

Blow, sweetie.

Look, Daddy,

look at me do it.

Okay, honey, be careful.

I'll talk to Pefia

and then let you know.

The papers from Gloria Villaverde.

The last page.

As well as being her lawyer,

she also did the accounting.

We checked details on this invoice,

but we haven't found him yet.

He's not answering

his home phone or his mobile.

His office is in his home.

I'll go there with a team.

We're leaving now.

Am I under arrest?

I can hold you

until your wife's body turns up.

I demand an explanation.

I think you killed your wife

with the TH-16

and stole her body

so there'd be no autopsy.

On what do you base

this fabrication?

Your behaviour,

the vial hidden in your pocket...

- It's not mine.

- They make it in your lab.

It can 'cause cardiac arrest.

You're a Chemist,

your wife died of cardiac arrest.

Do you think I'm an idiot?

Do you think I'm an idiot?

I didn't poison my wife.

If I did, I wouldn't come here

with a vial of the toxin.

It's absurd to poison someone

with TH-16,

then steal the body.

It's undetectable

in a routine autopsy.

It wasn't your specialty before,

now you're an expert.

I was nervous before.

If you want a confession

to close the case, forget it.

You've got nothing on me.

I just need to show that something

went wrong so you took the body!

You need to find Mayka,

and I can't help you with that.

I've no idea where she is.

How did you meet your wife?

- What does that matter?

- Curiosity. Too many differences.

- Differences?

- In age...

...status, everything.

Answer me.

It was in Avalon,

on Santa Catalina Island,

near L.A.

I spent some days there

after my first year in the university.
