THE COLLAPSE
5 DAYS BEFORE

THE SHOW

... the impact on permafrost
is thankfully very limited,

We are talking about a 0.3
degree increase in a century,

You write in your book that you are
completely opposed to this pessimism,

Is it really necessary?

It's TV, isn't it?

You need to look good
if you want people to listen to you

-- He's still not replying
-- Vincent,

-- What?
-- Come closer they must be waiting

Yeah

There are too many points,
I will forget some ...

Take the script and that's it

But what is this mess?
Why are there so many people?

-- I told you, there's a fucking Minister
-- Damn ...

-- Call him again
-- No-one ever listens to me

Calm down

So...
What do we do?

Well, I don't know, wait for the signal

-- Shit, what is he doing?
-- Did he abandon us?

-- Don't say silly things
-- But where is he?

-- I'm calling him again
-- Can we do this another day?

-- No, no, no
-- No, we're sticking to the plan

The earlier we spread the message
the bigger impact we will have

But we've been screaming in the void for 30 years

Not in the void this time

-- People are not ready though
-- Jacques, it was your idea,

With the Minister present,
it's a golden opportunity,

-- Yeah,
-- We're not doing anything bad ...

... we want to restore the order of things
On the show, he won't be able to dodge you

What is he doing?

I don't like this

Shit,

-- Okay, are we going?
-- Of course

-- Okay, so what's the plan?
-- We'll force our way in,

We'll block them,

You'll stay close to us,
we've done it before

-- No, never outside
-- We did! There are just more people today

-- Yes, and they put up barricades
-- That's what I said, we've never done this

-- Okay, we improvise then!
-- Guys, Gab is calling me!

Where are you, Gab?

-- I'm coming, don't worry
-- Okay,

They will enter
Jean--Baptiste Clément Avenue,

Okay,
Until now,

-- Go ahead, on the left,
-- Understood,

-- What's the plan?
-- I'm not really sure...

...but he will let us through
another entrance...

... on Jean--Baptiste Clément Avenue,

-- Good,
-- Ah well, Jean--Baptiste ...

-- Jean--Baptiste Clément?
-- Here,

Wait, wait...

We are far from the television set,

You will have to cross all of this, won't you?

-- Turn left
-- It will work,

Yes, it will work

Whatever happens, we are with you,
We will not leave you alone,

Look, it's here!
This black thing,

Calmn down guys,
We have the right to be here,

-- Yeah,
-- Yeah,

-- Is he here?
-- I can't see him,

-- Yes, yes, yes he's here
-- Yes it's here, let's go,

-- Good luck guys

-- Little bit of water...
-- Let's go,

-- Here,
-- Thanks,

-- You coming?
-- I'm sorry guys I'm not feeling it...

Are you kidding? There's already so few of us...

I'm really sorry I can't
I'll screw everything up

We can't force you,

-- Couldn't you tell us before?
-- All good, I'm going instead,

Give me your shirt,

-- Hurry up guys,

-- Sorry,
-- We're switching,

-- Give me the map?
-- Yeah, here

-- The map,
-- Yeah,

-- You drive,
-- Yes,

Watch the show!
We will be on television

Who gives a shit about the shirt?
They're waiting for us

-- Take it, take it
-- Let's go, let's go

-- Quick,

-- See you
-- See you

Come on, hurry up

Stay here, in the corner,
In the corner, in the corner

JB, don't put your head out

I wasn't expecting this much security,
It'll be tight

Yeah,

# We're hotter, hotter,
hotter than the climate #

# We're hotter, hotter,
hotter than the climate #

-- Why weren't you responding?
-- I wasn't alone,

You'll need to speed up,
I had to improvise,

-- What do you mean, 'improvise'?
-- I locked up a guard to steal his key,

-- No!
-- Dude,

How did you do it?

Shit,

Shit...

Okay,

Okay, don't be stupid,
Stay behind me,

Okay, ready?

Let's go,

Hi,

Jacques, Jacques, Jacques,

Shit, there are three guards
in front of the studio

-- You know them?
-- No, we will have to force our way in,

Isn't there another way in?

Yeah, through the production room, but it's risky
with the director and the whole team

Okay, forget about it,

They should be distracted,
I'll take them to the back,

-- I'm coming with you,
-- No no no

You should be ready to go on the set

Wait, the both of us will go
and you guys will stay here, okay?

Look!
It's him! Don't move!

-- I'll take you through production
-- Shush

Jacques, Jacques, Jacques,
Go go go

It's nothing, keep on working

-- Gabriel, what are you doing here?
-- Nothing, just letting them through,

-- Hello!
-- Let's go,

-- We're coming to see the cabling,
-- Can't do, we're live

Calm down it's just a visit,
they can keep on working

-- No but we're live,
-- No worries, calm down

It's nothing,

You're not going on the set!
Gabriel, you can't go on the set!

Gabriel!
Open the door now,

Gab,
Where is it?

JB, JB,

Here, get ready

I feel like I'll forget something

Okay, we're going this way

No, not here

Hey,

Fuck,

Shit, you're grabbing my arm

-- Easy, please
-- We have them, they're on the set

-- Come help us evacuate them
-- We're not violent

I am Pauline and this is Jacques,
Jean--Baptiste, Gabriel and Vincent,

-- My pleasure,
-- We just want to get a message across ...

... Sorry but no one can interrupt
a live show

It's got nothing to do with you,

We are the 'Friends of life',
Do you know us?

A worldwide crisis is getting near
It will affect all of us, okay?

-- We only need fixe minutes, please,
-- Sorry but it doesn't work like this,

This man is Jacques,
he's a scientist who wants to help us

... the worst is coming for all of us,
you, your kids. You've got kids right?

(On phone) Where are you?

We just want to go through a list
of 30 points before it's too late

-- Give us minutes, I implore you
-- You can help a lot of fucking people,

It's very important,
everything is up to you

-- You don't understand,
-- It's very important,

-- Shut up, I said shut up!
-- Shit, go go go!

-- Gabriel! Gabriel!
-- They can't go in!

Sorry, we have something very
important to tell you

Please, please ...

My name is Jacques Montbla,
I am agronomist ...

-- Please, we are live
-- ... and doctor in science,

You've all heard about crisis in
southern countries

And this is 'the friends of life'?

These crisis won't stop at the border

-- No violence, please,
-- Please, let me go

-- Sofia, tell him to let me talk
-- Wait, give us a moment please

-- Do you know him, Madame?
-- Yes, he was a colleague

We have a reunion!

Production team, what is this?
A joke?

Okay, let him go.
Did you organise this, Minister?

Of course not,

The last time we met, we worked
on the council for climate action,

-- (Minister) But Monsieur Montbla was fired,
-- (Montbla) That is not true, I left,

-- (Presenter) Please talk louder,
-- (Montbla) I said I left on my own accord

-- (Montbla) ... because of differing thoughts ...
-- (Minister) He didn't have a choice,

Okay, okay. Do you want to debate?

-- (Montbla) Well, yes.
-- (Presenter) Does it suit you, Madame?

I am for holding a dialogue

I always prefer
dialogue to violence,

Very well, we will give you a few minutes,
Someone bring him a chair, please!

But we are civilised people here,
everyone else, back in production please,

At least with this,
we will be everywhere on Twitter!

Hashtag "Green hostage-taking"

At least, it means we are truly live,

Guys, don't give him the equipment,
It's not necessary, he already has it,

He must have accomplices backstage,
They're well organised!

Thankfully not all guests are like you,
Otherwise we wouldn't know what to do,

But at the same time, you weren't even invited,

I thank you for letting me talk,
I am looking forward to talking with the minister,

Awesome, she's here,
Everyone is listening to you,

Well, what I was saying,
with haste in the commotion ...

... is that the crisis in Southern
European countries ...

... are clear markers of a
global collapse ...

... that will reach us in the next
few months, or even weeks,

Wow, it's bad news then!

That's Jacques Montbla for you,

-- (Minister) Pessimism personified,
-- (Montbla) No, I not am the personification of anything,

Most economists predict a global financial crisis,

It's not with your methods bordering on terrorism,
Monsieur Montbla, that we will get out of this,

Jacques, it's not the first time you're
trying to go viral, is it?

My snooper team,
found a picture of you, have a look,

Yes, I went to the Vatican to try to
meet the Pope about ...

Yes, because you tried to convert
the church to ...

Excuse me,
convert the church to vegetarianism,

(Montbla) Of course,

Reducing our consumption of meat,
would be a quick and efficient way ...

-- (Montbla) ... to fight against climate change,
-- (Presenter) What does this have to do with religion?

It's obivious
that religion is the last major organisation ...

... of global influence ...

... that can compensate for the fact
neither media nor politicians ...

... have taken their responsibilities seriously,

It seems absurd, in the 21st century ...

... to think we will not be able
to solve future challenges,

This is your problem, Monsieur Montbla,

You would love to go back to the stone age,

That's not true, I am for low-tech,
for the development of low-tech ...

Just stop,

Your fatalist speeches
are totally incomprehensible,

-- (Minister) You are a 'collapsologue', Monsieur,
-- (Montbla) Yeah right,

-- (Minister) And you're trying to sell us the end of the world,
-- (Glasses) Excuse me, what's a 'collapsologue'?

They're a bit crazy,
they lock themselves in bunkers,

-- (Lady) Is that it, am I wrong?
-- (Montbla) Excuse-me, but it's nothing like this,

Excuse-me, but it's nothing like this,

You are mistaking collapsology
for survivalism,

Sorry,

And you, Jacques,
You're more of a survivalist, is that it?

Yes, if it's a collective vision that will
let us get out of the current, then yes, I am one,

It's a very selfish vision,
don't you think?

To think that some would have the
right to leave the system ...

... While others continue to work hard

To answer your question,
survivalists ...

Are western bozos that need to scare
themselves, like Monsieur Montbla ...

... or anti-establishment Zadists

Of course it's easy to go back to clichés
I'm sorry to contradict you,

... the biggest survivalists
these days are extremely rich people ...

... that invest a lot of money on
high-tech self-sustainable islands,

There are topics where we need to stay serious,

You are talking about unrealistic things,
right out of science-fiction,

Look, I have nothing against you,
Jacques ...

... but your speech is a bit like
the 2000 Mayan prophecy

You are one of those people, that use
catastrophism to radicalise people,

Yeah right,

That's right, and by doing that you're playing
the extremist parties' game, Monsieur Montbla,

-- (Montbla) There you go,
-- (Minister) Both left and right,

You are trying to discredit me
to avoid a debate,

It's been a long time that I have tried
to avoid debating extremists like yourself,

-- (Minister) It's counter-productive,
-- (Presenter) Excuse me ...

What is your message?

Because, what I understood,
is that we are all going to die,

At least you understood something,

I came with a 30-step plan,
but my script was taken from me,

Okay, okay,

And you, Minister,
do you need a piece of paper?

-- (Minister) No, I do not need one
-- (Presenter) Let's go then,

First of all, I want to reassure
our citizens,

We will not die,

Future problems,
I prefer to see them as challenges to tackle,

And not like some fatalism that will
fall upon us,

I also want to remind you,
that the international community ...

... agreed on never-seen-before objectives ...

-- (Minister) ... for lasting growth,
-- (Montbla) Yeah right,

Personally,
I already sort my trash every day,

I think if we all do a little effort ...

... we wouldn't have this
conversation today

I doubt just sorting trash is sufficient,
Minister?

No it's not enough,
but all these daily acts are important,

The responsibilty is collective,
Everything is part of the solution,

Biological agriculture, recycling,
solar and wind power ...

... that are already being developed
everywhere in France,

In the longer term,
we cannot deny

... the efficiency of nuclear power
in meeting our energy demand,

Concretely ...

... I think the solution resides ...

... in relaunching green growth,

(Montbla) Here's her famous little speech

Stop, stop! It's wrong

I'm sorry, but it's wrong,
I am sorry to contradict you, but it is wrong,

It's wrong, you are lying,
shamelessly, to the public,

I'm sorry, but it's irresponsible,
what she's saying,

You know just as well as myself,
that green growth does not exist,

It's a complete illusion,
A sham,

I understand you have to lie,
because it's your job after all,

And in a way,
you are a bit trapped by a system ...

... actually, completely
trapped by a system ...

... that is not serving man, that is not
serving the human being ...

... that is not serving
the general public, and certainly not serving life ...

You are serving a deadly system
which only objective is to ...

... to preserve the interests of a caste ...

... and I am saying caste, not class,
a dominating caste ...

... that is blinded by its own profit

I will stop here, because after
that you will call me an extremist

Minister,

The green energy that you are talking about,
Requires materials that are not renewable,

And green energy sources ...
Excuse me ...
Are not sufficient,

So let's stop this, please,

Forget about infinite growth ...

... on a planet
with limited resources,

We are at an impasse but
the Minister will not tell you that,

This is why she is lying,
because she doesn't want to tell the truth,

Why? Because either we continue this growth ...

... and everything collapses, or we stop this
growth, and everything collapses,

We will live ...

... the collapse of our civilization,

And there's no institution, in this country
or any other, that is ready to confront...

... what is going to happen,

Okay?
So today ...

Because we've been saying it for 50 years ...

... 50 years, since the 70s, since
the Meadows report in 1972, remember?

And the IPC reminds you every year,

But nothing happens,
we do not invert the process,

So today, I came here,
to call upon,

I implore the public powers, the government,
to invest billions into ...

... an historic war effort,
to create a more durable society,

And if politicians
do not take their responsibilities ...

... we will have to impose it upon them

Even by force, like today ...

... because we've had enough to see
these people play with our lives,

And let me give you some advice:
anticipate what will happen,

Because catastrophy is imminant,
and the consequences will be disastrous,

Contretely, what does it mean?
Try to reorganise yourself,

Try to create networks,
help networks, in your towns,

In your villages, in your blocks,

Today, we need to ...

We need to gain autonomy,

We absolutely need to get out
of the system as we know it,

And, it's happening today, not tomorrow,

We can avoid famines, droughts,
millions of deaths,

... we can avoid exodus,
we can avoid everything ...

It only depends on us ...

We will not avoid the collapse,
but we can survive,

Your friends don't invite you to parties anymore, do they?

We'll come back after a quick
ad break ...

... with the Minister for the Ecology,
Élodie Sin Filter and her political tribune ...

... and of course,
A touch of humour from Perico Saporta,

See you right away

Okay, we are resuming in 5 minutes,

Okay, Jérôme, throw him out,

I wasn't going to stay anyway,

Jérôme, wait,

Wait,
Congrats,

It will go viral for sure,
Okay now you give this back to me ...

And you get the fuck out of show,
By the way, when I say viral...

I mean for the show,
You, you'll just look crazy,

-- Okay, get lost,
-- Let's go Monsieur,

Come with me please,

-- It's Jacques,
-- Bravo!

Policeman, please wait,

Aside from ridiculing yourself
and trying to discredit me ...

... What were you trying to achieve by coming here?

I don't care about you Sofia,

You know that I told the truth,
So please stop, stop acting like ...

Jacques, it's not by terrorising people on
television, that you will change anything

I pity you,

You would be much more useful if you worked with us,

You really believe what you are saying?

You need to be on the inside
to be able to change anything,

So go for it,
Sofia, go for it,

Prepare the country for the collapse,

Excuse-me Minister, he has to come,

There won't be a collapse, Jacques,
Not here,

Let's go Monsieur,
We're going,

Sit down at the back please,

Let's go, let's go,

Please please,
Can I sit at the front?

Otherwise I'll get sick,
Please, please, please,

He's going to throw up everywhere,

# We're hotter, hotter,
hotter than the climate #

# We're hotter, hotter,
hotter than the climate #

# We're hotter, hotter,
hotter than the climate #
