Not at all. You can come too.

Take my spot.

Who volunteers to go?

Seriously?

You'll leave a comrade to perish?

How was he?

Listen good,

because I'll make it simple.

If no one comes with me

to look for Simon,

I'll leave the community.

With Claude's death,

the pogrom and the conflicts,

I've had more than enough!

Prove to me you're better than that!

Who's coming?

Thanks, Frangois.

I'm shitting. But listening.

What did he say?

That he was shitting.

I must leave the community.

It would be so sad.

You must have tons of points!

Tell the network!

Victor, is he in 3rd?

Listen, networker. Starting now,

leave my daughter alone.

- Yeah, but I didn't...

- What's this about?

I have no idea what you mean.

Dad, are you serious?

You're leaving us?

Jean-Paul, wait.

What did doudou say?

He's really leaving?

Hold on! How will we manage

without Jean-Pau I?

Who's the leader now?

- He was never the leader.

- Sort of.

Everything is fine.

No more guitar.

It drives me crazy.

I can do whatever I want.

So now there are leaders.

How are you, little man?

I mean...

Actually I'd like to know.

Are you a boy or a girl?

So do you have a weenie?

Can you tell boys from girls?

Know what a weenie is?

I'll count to 3.

On 3 I'll look.

It'll be our secret.

1,2...

What exactly are you doing?

Are you crazy? Come here, honey.

What did he do?

Did he touch you?

What did he do?

He's afraid! What did you do?

Stop staring at me. Nothing hap...

Sicko!

Mommy will breastfeed you.

Sicko!

No, no. Nothing happened.

Stay away.

We just spoke.

- Kid!

- Pervert!

- Political maneuvering!

- No maneuvering.

- I'm all heart.

- Let Gaya speak.

You miss the bigger picture.

The real problem

is we're going extinct.

- Due to sexual inequality!

- What?

You heard me.

Some of us want

to propagate the species.

But others decide selfishly

they don't want to sleep with X or Y.

You can't force someone to have sex.

The person asking has rights too.

Don't privilege some rights over others.

Her program is to make rape legal.

No one cares? Good going!

Great program!

Sow...

Vote Rape!

Maybe you'd prefer children

to be included?

Watch out.

That's his secret?

He's a pedophile?

- What nonsense.

- So Gaya...

He wanted to touch me too.

Once with oil.

The truth comes out.

That was the network thing?

You pretended she was crazy.

You got me good!

- Because she wanted...

- Loser!

She had red spots.

- We're clone.

- We're not.

Yes, we're voting now.

Rigged election!

F*** you!

Violence gets you nowhere, Victor.

- Simon?

- To the left.

Yeah?

Down.

Why are you in there?

You have to come back.

Gaya took over.

It's a dictatorship now.

Let's go overthrow her.

- I can't.

- You can!

I can't.

Simon, look at me. You're coming.

I look at you, I feed on light

and I'm fine.

You need to eat meat.

Move!

What is it?

- What's that?

- Rabbit Taser, for catching rabbits.

Excellent.

Does it work for bigger prey,

like cows?

Honey?

Don't look at him

and don't talk to him, okay?

Did you see that sham election?

Ridiculous!

Let's overthrow her!

Hands off! Okay?

What is this power bullshit?

With me, you'll be the leader's wife.

- The leader of what?

- Of the group!

What the hell? The leader of what?

And whose wife?

I'm not yours anymore!

- That was great.

- Thanks, Dylan.

I still have chores.

No, wait a little. Wait!

Let's snuggle a little.

It's not against you.

I have a migraine.

I'll give you aspirin and f*** you.

- Ginger too.

- I don't want to.

F*** off, a**hole!

- You can't force me.

- I feel like it!

- Beat it, Victor.

- Sit down!

Shut up. Drop the guitar.

Drop it!

Madwoman, shut up!

- Shut up!

- What the hell is that?

Th is?

Usually, a Rabbit Taser.

A what?

Today,

it's a Fat Cow Taser.

A what?

Pretty funny.

What's it for?

You turn it on.

Increase the pressure... and bam!

Get off my lot!

Dammit!

Get out!

Out!

Mom my!

What, honey?

- It's Simon.

- Enough already!

What happened, honey?

What is it?

Honey!

She's my daughter too!

No, Daddy, no!

Let's build a protective wall.

If we build a wall...

aren't we walling ourselves in?

By the way,

how's Maeva?

As if she saw her dad's head

on a spike.

It's my father!

So-so.

It's a little risky.

What we'll do is send someone

to talk to them.

If they don't listen,

we massacre them.

So listen, Gaya,

we found some survivors.

What did they say?

They made us understand in a way,

that they want to speak to our leader.

That's you. You led a putsch.

I putsched.

I putsched you a little, no biggie.

It is a big deal.

A putsch is anti-democratic, violent.

The word "putsch" is cute.

Why is it aggressive?

It's not so easy. You put me in jail.

I haven't seen...

Where is the child?

The child's sleeping... playing.

Asleep now.

All alone?

- We all help.

- The child's fine.

- Nice and clean.

- Happy kid.

Let me see.

Funny you mention it.

I said "Let's see Mommy."

The child said "No."

"I don't want to see Mommy."

Why not?

Because, the child said...

"I'd like Mommy to be the ambassador

to speak to the survivors,"

"but I'm scared she'll say no

and I'll be too ashamed."

Ashamed of me?

"I'll never speak to her again."

- "Too bad if I'm a dick!" he said.

- A dick?

Apparently he's a boy.

Are you nomads?

You're very tactile.

It seems okay.

Only one with glasses.

We should go

or they'll think she's the leader.

We should get going.

Wait, Frangois!

We're like a family.

We are a family.

So yes...

we had rough patches and tension,

but what family doesn't?

Today I think tenderly

of everyone who left us too early.

Valiant people,

people with convictions.

Jean-Paul,

Claude,

courageous Gaya.

God, she was courageous.

She went all out.

Open-armed.

They didn't care about her courage.

They f***ed her up.

How did they do it?

They have no hearts.

They're savages!

Let's reflect about those who died.

There was Patrice too.

Who?

Patrice, from the beginning.

- I forget.

- Sterile. Pandemic. Glasses.

Like many people.

That's his wife.

Yes! It's true! Exactly.

Your husband. How is he?

- Very courageous.

- Totally.

Yep.

Patrice? Patrick?

Patrice!

My husband!

- Her husband.

- Come on!

Yeah.

- He's doudou.

- He was doudou.

For doudou.

To doudou! To doudou...

Brothers and sisters,

prepare ourselves for battle,

to defend our values against barbarity.

Be brave...

and valiant!

Victor?

No, not now. You're dead.

Yes, Victor.

No, sorry.

It's simple. Don't go to war.

Let yourself be killed

to avoid violence.

With violence,

you lose your soul, Victor. You hear?

The soul trumps life.

It's better, lasts longer.

It lasts... forever.

No kidding.

You'll kill people.

And fewer people here,

fewer people there...

equals no more people.

Think of the people.

Think of the people, Victor.

He may be right.

Enough.

Let's massacre those motherfuckers.

Excuse me.

The network just called.
