The Decline (Jusqu'au déclin)

NETFLIX PRESENTS

Daphné, sweetheart, wake up.

Wake up. It's time. Grab your things. Hurry up.

Put on your boots. Take your bag, your coat.

Come on. Hurry up, sweetie.

I know you were asleep, but you need to hurry.

Come on, arm in sleeve.

Great. Do you have your bottle?

-Yes. -Do you have your extra socks?

-Yes. -Your survival kit?

Yes, Dad, I have it all.

Where's Raphaël?

Come on, Daddy.

Let's go, sweetheart. Hurry up.

Go, go, go.

Go, go, go. Quick, quick, quick.

Come on, quickly.

-Do we have everything? -Yes, I think so.

Okay. Lights off?

Okay.

From now on, not a sound.

Three, two, one.

Seventeen minutes, fifty-three seconds to leave the island. That's very good.

That's two minutes less than last time.

That's great timing. Congratulations.

But I have to warn you, Daphné, next time there will be no second chance.

If you forget your turtle, we leave without it. Understood?

But otherwise, you did great, you know.

Well done.

Well done, sweetie.

Shall we go to bed?

Grocery stores like the ones in Montreal are stocked for three days.

That means that after three days,

if the trucks haven't come, there'll be nothing left.

Everyone will starve. It will be chaos. There will be fighting.

Which is why I'm doing this tutorial on Mylar today.

We'll learn how to... preserve food.

Because that will make a difference.

Because the peace we know now is hanging by a thread.

Not if the government collapses, of course.

Or a really intense H1N1 outbreak, or a... natural disaster.

So this is a good amount.

I have 44 lbs. of rice here.

The next thing we need to do is remove as much oxygen as possible.

You can use oxygen absorbents or foot warmers. Those work, too.

And besides, if you don't use them for that, you can put them in your boots.

they're great to keep your feet warm when it's cold.

Put it all in the bag. It's starting.

-This is when you need to hurry. -Like that.

Seal it with a hot iron.

Careful with your fingers.

We're going to seal both ends of the bag.

Put them on... Yes, exactly. Pinch hard, here.

A laundry iron works just fine.

Yes. All the way...

Now we check our work.

Is it well-closed?

Yes.

We'll be able to eat this rice in 20 years.

Or maybe even before that.

In case there's an epidemic, or if...

If there's an economic crisis, or if the planet gets even warmer,

people will be hungry, and we'll be ready.

That's it, darling. The other one.

Subscribe to my channel.

If you have questions, I'll answer them.

If you have comments, I'll read them.

And don't forget: in order to live, we have to survive.

Hi, Antoine. This is Alain.

Alain Fréchette.

I liked your presentation letter very much. It really moved me.

Listen, I know this is very short notice,

but if you like, well, one of our participants cancelled.

So I have a spot for you.

So if you want it, it's yours.

You can call me back or simply confirm by email.

It would be really great if it worked out.

Bye.

...we learned that the number of climate refugees

will be at its highest in 2050.

The international organization says that not only is the crisis near,

but that the crisis will be endemic.

As for numbers, they say at least 250 million climate refugees

will have to find a new house in 2050.

Those vulnerable people are mostly farmers already in a precarious situation.

Some wish to stay in their own country,

but many of them have already started to leave their country.

Government leaders have assured that the doors will be closed

to these migrants

and safety measures will be put in place to slow down those waves of immigration.

However, other countries are open to welcome some migrants,

but we don't know...

How strange to finally meet in person.

Get your stuff.

I'll take your cell phone.

Get ready.

Here, this is for you.

You'll need protection.

Okay, it's a bumpy ride. Hold on tight.

It will take a while.

-All good? -All good.

On the website, it's easy.

But in real life, you'll see it's a whole other story.

I have about 500 acres of land.

It's fucking huge!

It keeps the world at bay.

You can take them off now. We're here.

I just need to get some things, and I'll show you where to put that.

Alain?

Where should I put this?

On the counter. I'll take care of it later, okay?

Perfect.

-Hey. -Hi.

-I'm Anna. -Antoine, pleased to meet you.

My pleasure.

-David. -Antoine.

This is gonna be fun, man.

You can choose one of those beds. The two in the back.

-Hi. François. -Antoine.

-Is he the last one? -No, there's one more.

Settle down, get comfortable, make yourself at home.

Oh, and... these are the rules.

It would be great if you could read them.

And curfew at 10:30 pm.

-Hi, Rachel. -Antoine.

You can take that one, but I'm warning you, I snore.

I hope you brought your earplugs.

David.

Show Sébastien where he can put his stuff.

-Okay. -Hi.

-David. -Sébas.

Hi, I'm Antoine.

Hello. Sébas.

Do you smoke, Sébastien?

Yes, yes, sometimes when I drink.

You can't smoke in the tent.

Nor in the house.

This is Frank. Sébastien.

-Hi. -Hello.

Generally, Alain doesn't...

Come closer, guys.

It must have been a long road.

Shit, yes. Nine hours.

Come closer!

I stopped halfway here. It was beautiful.

I'd like to explain what a survivalist temporary autonomous zone is.

A TAZ.

This here is my project, my baby.

I've been working on it for about a decade.

You'll see other bases. But none like this one.

Here I have six panels, which give me 2,600 Watts.

I have a shitload of propane, fuel oil.

Cordwood. Dry, because green wood won't give you any heat.

And a 396-gallon generator.

Where's your generator?

Behind the house.

With that one, I can have a freezer, a fridge, power.

And the extra energy loads batteries for the evenings.

Here... we have a chicken coop.

Over there, a greenhouse. Both are heated.

You'll see, we eat well here.

My chicken tastes great.

Not like that damned sick chicken you buy at the store.

Further down here, I have very productive apple trees.

Oh, you must have deer.

You have no idea. There's no lack of meat around here.

And a little further over there, I have maple trees.

Every spring, I make syrup.

See?

For now, I make it by hand, but I plan on having a real installation.

Because when everything collapses,

maple syrup will be perfect for trading.

Because everybody likes a little sweetness.

You can use it for everything, coffee, cereal. It's comforting.

These are what I call the evacuation tracks,

in case I'm attacked.

In the summer, I rake them and I remove anything noisy.

And in the winter, I keep them completely clear.

So that your attackers can't hear you moving around.

Let's say I'm being chased. I made forks.

This is the first one.

There are 15 others just like it.

Every time, you need to take the right one,

otherwise it's a dead end.

When you think about it, it's like a code.

That's sick!

At the very end, there's a container with the bare necessities.

So if I'm ever under attack, I'll be able to defend myself

and reclaim my land from there. Do you get the idea?

Yeah, it's just like a bug-out, really.

It's not "just like a bug-out," it's exactly a bug-out.

-But is it static or mobile? -Static.

Have you ever thought of making it mobile?

You know, a moving target is way harder to shoot.

Yeah, but the container is for retaking my land,

not for running like a coward.

Can we go see it?

Look. Trust me, all right? Don't go there. It's full of nice little surprises.

To be clear: those tracks aren't for strolling.

So...
