Upon his return home, he learns from her that she wants a divorce. They both go through a series of different emotions related to their situation, Mark's which is generally obsessive about learning why Anna, who he still loves, wants the divorce, and Anna's which is generally increasingly histrionic in getting away from Mark. Caught in the middle is their infant son Bob, who Mark uses as a gage to Anna's mental state. Anna states that her want for the divorce is not because of another man, but Mark finds out that Anna has a lover named Heinrich. In the meantime, Mark also meets Bob's teacher Helen, who looks exactly like Anna, but is her polar opposite in temperament. Starting a relationship with Helen lessens his obsession with Anna.

trust me," you write,

and all the time you're

f***ing your ass off!

You want me to believe you?

-I'm a whore, yes!

A monster, a whore!

I f*** around with everybody

whenever you turn around!

I f*** aroud with everybody

on every corner!

You will let me go!

Please don't make me force you.

You can't stop me!

I'll open the window and jump!

You need him that much?

-Oh, yes! Oh, yes!

F*** your needs!

Do it again.

You know what this is for? The lies!

Then you have to add much more.

B*tch! B*tch!

B*tch! You b*tch!

What's gonna happen to us?

-It's up to you!

Then stop coming!

-I have to go!

I'll follow you!

-Don't you even try!

Ooh, it's Aunt Margit,

the angel of the extinct heart!

Limping to the rescue.

And nothing can stop me.

Oh, I know you can't wait to run

off and make a fool of yourself.

And I'm here to help you.

I'll look after Bob.

Give me your sweater.

I loathe you, Marge.

You are still full of belief, Mark.

I love seeing you miserable.

It is so reassuring!

Sh*t, Marge.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Zimmermann will be with you

in a minute. Second door on the right.

Yes ... so.

How can we help you? Please.

I ...

I would like you to follow

my wife for a few days.

Of course. Wives, wives ...

Are there any reasons

you would like to give us?

You don't have to answer, but often it is

enormously helpful in the investigation.

My wife doesn't live with me

anymore, but she...

...visits. Or at least she

has been visiting, up to now,

my son.

I see.

-I have a photo of my wife here.

Are there any other leads?

Family?

Does your wife have a job?

-She quit about a year ago.

Friends?

Her best friend is Mrs. Margit

Gluckmeister, she's... in the directory.

Margit visits our place

occasionally, to...

to help out with Bob.

Alright, sir. Now we must

get down to practicalities.

Look at this tired boy.

That's it.

Look at this tired boy.

Let's get you in bed.

That's it.

On with the covers.

Excuse me.

How long is this going to last?

Excuse me!

I'm talking to you.

Excuse me!

You don't have the right

to behave this way!

What have I done that you

hate me so much, huh?

Nothing!

I deserve this?

-Get off it! No.

Get off it!

-Told you to stop coming home!

Get off!

It's just ... disgusting.

Yes.

Look what we've become.

Yes.

Talk to me!

I don't want you to be like this.

You know, when I'm away from you, I think

of you as an animal, or a woman possessed,

and then, and then I see you

again and all this disappears.

You must try and help me. Tell me.

Maybe it will help.

Are you happy?

Do you love him?

Does he love you?

Do you want to live together?

And have a family, and...

Am I in your way, and Bob too?
