the office until I contact you.

Why?

Precisely becaues of the...

delicacy of your feelings,

you might be able to understand that

my interest in the case

comes from the fact that I...

live with that detective.

I'll be calling.

I have to talk to you.

-That's what I guessed.

Have you ever seen this man?

-Do I have to answer you?

Well, you'll have to answer to someone

eventually. -That's too easy.

But it's you...

or the police, right?

Right.

Why?

You're scaring me.

Am I not scared?

Oh yes, I see...

Darkness is easeful.

The temptation to let go...

promises so much comfort after the pain.

He's in there.

My dear God!

He's very tired.

He made love to me all night.

Emmanuel ...

He's still unfinished, you know?

Emmanuel!

Tighten your stomach!

Up, your knee!

Your foot, look at your hand.

Tighter stomach. Move back.

Up, your leg.

Up, your knee.

Look at your hand.

Tighten your stomach.

Move back. Your foot.

Do it. Hold it.

Your knee.

Hold it! Hold it.

Keep your shoulders down. Hold it.

Hold. Hold it.

That was very good!

Very, very good.

From now on she'll know

how much righteous anger

and sheer will she's got in her to say:

"I, I can do as well, I can

be better! I'm the best!"

Only in this case can

she become a success.

Nobody taught me that.

That's why I'm with you.

Because you say "I" for me.

Because you say "I" for me.

Yes, I'm thinking about him.

But I recognize the self who

has just done something horrible

like a sister I've casually

met on the street!

Hello, Sister.

It's like there's two sisters

of Faith and... Chance,

it's like two ...

It's like there's two sisters

of Faith and Chance,

of Faith... My Faith can't

exclude Chance, but Chance...

Well, it's like there's two

sisters of Faith and Chance,

my Faith can't exclude Chance,

but my Chance can't e...

Can't explain Faith.

My Faith didn't allow me

to wait for Chance,

and Chance didn't give me enough Faith.

And then I read that private life

is a stage, only I'm playing in many

parts that are smaller than me, and...

yet I still play them,

I suffer, I believe, I am!

But at the same time I know

there's a third possibility,

like cancer, or madness.

But cancer or madness

contort reality.

The possibility I'm talking

about pierces reality.

I'm unable to say it, maybe.

Maybe it's impossible to say,

maybe I'm too stupid.

You're looking at me as if you...

You're looking at me as if to tell me

that I need you to fill me up,

as if I'm an empty space.

Well, I love you too,

but what makes me go on

is to know he'll return,

and I'll make him suffer, and...

And I'll hurt him, and...

I'm betraying him, but...

this brings me small rewards.

Well... But yet, I...

I can't exist by myself

because I'm afraid of myself.

Because I'm the maker of my own evil.

Because...

Because I'm...

Goodness is only some kind

of reflection upon evil.

That's the way it is.

What are you doing?!

I'm sorting out his things

to take to the laundry.

I can do it myself.

-But it's my job!

Very kind of...

-I'm better at it!

Maybe you could do it

when Bob is at home.

It's getting... so difficult

for you, isn't it? You're not as...

You're not as strong or as sure of

yourself as you thought you were,

so you keep coming back.

You must be...

You must be...

torn apart.

I can...

I can think more clearly now.

I guess ...

I guess when you're there...

you want to be home,

and when you're home...

you want to be there.

If what you have there

is so strong for you,

if it's what you never had,

stick to it. Keep it.

It's very quiet here when you're,

when you're out.

It was very quiet

when you weren't here!

Come over here,

let's just see if we can

sit together peacefully, still.

Is it the same there?

-No!

Can you tell me now?

I messed everything up.

Even Bob.

I've been a cheat, a liar,

completely alone, wounded.

And you think I'm immoral sh*t.

I think so too but not

the... same reasons...

I feel nothing for no-one!

It's as if the two sisters

were too exhausted to fight anymore.

You know these women

wrestling in an arena of mud,

with their hands locked

at each other's throats.

Each waiting to see

who'll die first.

And both staring at me.

What I miscarried there

was Sister Faith.

And what was left is Sister Chance.

So I had to take care of my Faith,

to protect it.

That's what you're doing there?

Yes.

You look uglier.

You've hardened.

For the first time, you look...

vulgar, to me.

I remember when I was a kid...

Have you ever seen a dying dog,

you know, one of those old

dogs that comes to die under the,

under the porch of the house?

At the last moment...

It... yelps.

In terror.

As if it's seen something real.

I want you to take off

the ring and the wristwatch

I gave you last time I came home.

Don't forget to give him his yoghurt.

No.

I have to go!

If I threw myself at your feet and

yelped, would you still walk over me?

Yes.

Hello, this is Anna's husband speaking.

-Anna's not here.

I don't have the slightest idea

what's happening to her.

Do you love your son?

-Sir!

Tell him that I love him too.

I love everybody and everything.

I accept everything,

I have become wise,

and profound, and good.

Do you want to talk to him?

We're just having coffee.

No, I don't want to talk to him, I...

I don't want your coffee to get cold,

either, I certainly love your coffee.

Just tell Heinrich

that Anna's address

is Sebastianstrasse 87.

First floor.

Five, six, seven, sky!

Eight, seven,

six, five, four, three...

Madam teacher, my apologies

for being late. -No, it's alright.

Anyway, we were waiting for you.

Thank you.

And goodbye, Bob.

what is it?

My name.

I respected your wish to be alone,

I thought you needed the time,

but now it's time enough.

Besides, what are you doing here, anyway?

Don't resist me.

You know I'm stronger than you.

I'm the only one in your life

who has rights on you.

Because I don't claim any.

I brought it from India.

You know, this is what the French

poet Michaux was writing about.

I kept it for you.

With this,

love opens to absolutely

unknown horizons.

Absolutely unknown...

We are made to swim

in the center of the stream.

Not to wait on the dry banks.

Yes ... exactly.

I showed you the door to God.

And this door is always open.

Come.

Is this a joke?

What is it?

Anna!

These must be removed.

They are beginning to smell.

This can't be true.

I've got to keep this

place clean and well.

Oh my God!

-Are you going to help me,

Heinrich?

You are no different

from anyone else.

We are all the same.

But in different words.

In different bodies.

Different versions.

Like insects!

Meat!

Calling all ambulances and

fire engines to the site of the crash.

And two trucks!

Where?

Can you answer the door, Bob?

Now listen, Heinrich.

Just stay where you are.

At the bar at the corner?

Bleed for a while.

I'll be there as soon as I can.
