The Body (2012)
Inspector Jaime Peña investigates an accident that has left night watchman Ángel Torres in a coma. Security footage reveals Ángel fleeing from his job at the morgue before being struck by a car. Peña is informed that the body of a woman, Mayka Villaverde, has disappeared from the morgue. Mayka, a middle-aged, wealthy businesswoman, was married to a younger man and suffered a heart attack following a business trip. Her widower, Álex Ulloa, hears the shocking news while with his young mistress, Carla Miller. Álex assures Carla that Mayka is dead. At the morgue, Álex tells the coroner about Mayka’s medical history.
Peña is convinced someone stole the body to avoid an autopsy and is suspicious of Álex, who Peña feels too easily speaks of his wife in the past tense. Peña notes his wife, Ruth, died 10 years ago in a car accident, and he finds he still speaks of her in the present tense. Álex hears a loud noise and discovers a busted locker. Inside, he finds a small bottle labeled TH–16, and thinks back earlier in the day when he puts drops from the same bottle into Mayka’s wine. Peña finds him and informs him that Mayka’s cell phone is missing. He finds the bottle on Álex, who admits it is a toxin manufactured by Mayka’s pharmaceutical company, but he claims he found it on the floor and doesn’t know what it does.
