00:00 During a week, she asked us to kill her.
00:04 She told us that she...
00:06 that we shouldn't have saved her.
00:10 We went on a trip in Guadeloupe with my girlfriend and my daughter.
00:15 On the third day, we decided to go out on a jet ski.
00:18 The monitor was in front of us,
00:20 I was alone on my jet ski,
00:23 my daughter behind me alone on her jet ski,
00:25 and two young men, about 23-25 years old.
00:28 The monitor told the two young men that they were going a little too fast
00:31 and that they had to slow down.
00:32 It stopped, so I slowed down,
00:35 Jade, who was behind me, also slowed down.
00:38 I turned around to say, "Hey, it's great, we're going to have a good time."
00:42 It's like in a movie.
00:44 The number 4 scooter with the two young men arrived
00:48 at full speed,
00:51 to hit Jade from a distance.
00:53 For a fraction of a second, I thought it was...
00:56 It was not serious, at all.
00:58 I jumped right away to get it back.
01:01 It had a mark, it was a bloodstain.
01:04 What was terrifying was that it was in the coma.
01:08 I carried it as I could to take it to the monitor,
01:10 who put it on the jet ski.
01:12 I yelled at my wife to call for help.
01:14 I couldn't stop yelling. It was uncontrollable.
01:16 They certainly wanted, like Jade, who is quite cute,
01:19 to impress and do something fun from their point of view,
01:24 but without any control, because they were filming.
01:27 They also admitted that they had drunk Whiskey Monster,
01:30 a mixture of Beignet and Whiskey Monster.
01:32 The driver said he hadn't found the brakes on a jet ski.
01:35 That also shows us the idea of the briefing we had,
01:39 because there are no brakes on a jet ski.
01:41 We got home after 17 days, and we were told,
01:44 "Your daughter, if she doesn't stay in a coma for several years,
01:48 in the best case, she will be in a vegetative state,
01:50 because she had a brain injury.
01:54 She also had two prefrontal shocks.
01:56 They asked us several times to unplug her.
01:59 We were able to find the Toulouse-Purpont hospital,
02:03 which welcomed her in neurology at first,
02:05 without really knowing what to do with it.
02:07 But little by little, things progressed.
02:10 Her body expressed the desire to get out on its own,
02:12 against all diagnostics, she opened her eyes more and more frequently.
02:15 And then, whether there should be a sign or not,
02:17 on December 23-24, she really regained consciousness,
02:20 it's her memory.
02:21 In fact, a brain injury,
02:23 she regained her cognitive abilities,
02:25 we can say it's a miracle.
02:27 Today, my daughter doesn't speak and doesn't hear.
02:30 She moves her left hand in a way that is not fully mastered,
02:32 even if it improves day by day.
02:34 When we asked her multiple choice questions,
02:35 she remembered the PIB in China.
02:38 She also wanted to reread her preparation copies
02:41 at the Concours des Grandes Ecoles de Commerce,
02:42 where she understood everything, math, philosophy.
02:44 After that, we also feel the superhuman test she is going through.
02:48 For a week, she asked us to kill her,
02:53 and she told us that we shouldn't have saved her.
03:00 She did this, or that,
03:03 as if we had to press a trigger.
03:08 It lasted a week like that.
03:10 And then, inevitably, we don't know if we made the right choice.
03:18 Jade is a floating creature.
03:20 She is unstoppable, she moves everywhere, she dances.
03:24 In this paralyzed position,
03:26 impossible to speak, impossible to hear.
03:28 I think no one would be comfortable anyway, that's for sure.
03:32 For a month, when we thought she was with us,
03:33 she thought she was dreaming.
03:35 It was a nightmare.
03:36 In fact, Jade can't cry, or laugh.
03:40 So we feel all the tears, but we don't see them.
03:43 They make me powerless, totally powerless.
03:46 In all this horror,
03:48 the fact that she regained her cognitive ability was really unexpected.
03:51 It means that if she has a cognitive ability, she can also try to influence her thoughts.
03:55 She can fight.
03:57 She is a very autonomous person, so she inevitably can't stand
04:00 being taken care of for the toilet, for everything.
04:04 She can't decide anything.
04:05 She feels not only trapped in her body, but trapped in a system.
04:09 She hoped to hear again, but she can't.
04:11 She hoped to be able to start talking, but she can't.
04:13 So that's what I was anticipating.
04:16 The fact that she is late on some errands,
04:19 I think it gives her a blow to the morale.
04:20 I don't know if it's a game, but there's always
04:23 her friends who continue, she's the CEO of the year.
04:25 So, fortunately, her friends are there, but her friends are leaving and she stays in her room.
04:30 I take about 12 or 14 medications a day.
04:34 In the morning, four in the evening.
04:36 In the meantime, I had a heart attack in May.
04:38 I need 14 alarms before I can get up.
04:41 It's a real struggle because it's impossible to go out without thinking.
04:44 To do anything without thinking about Jade, it's impossible.
04:46 I can't walk down the street of young people without thinking, "Why isn't Jade here?"
04:51 It doesn't work like that, but I would have preferred to die.
04:53 I would have preferred never to go out, never to travel.
04:56 So, I want to die.
05:00 I'm not in pain at all, that's for sure.
05:02 Everyone asks me for a word that is inaccessible.
05:04 I can't accept it.
05:06 I can't accept what happened.
05:08 There is no logic for it to be Jade who touched the rabbit.
05:12 We are alone in the middle of the ocean, alone.
05:15 We are supposed to be framed, we are alone.
05:17 So, yes, I want to see the driver, of course, because...
05:21 Damn, it's not possible to go straight on her like that.
05:25 It's like he's looking at her.
05:26 It's like a bike, it's like a car.
05:27 The vehicle goes where the eyes go.
05:29 So, he looked at her, and he filmed her.
05:31 Of course I want to see her.
05:32 But I want to see the monitor, which was much more than light.
05:37 I want to see the company that was much more than light,
05:39 since we could feel that they were running after the tent, so after the money.
05:43 They tell me, "We're going to file a complaint too,
05:45 because we lost two jets and we can't operate two jets, okay?"
05:48 But frankly, what the hell do we care?
05:50 Then they put on their TripAdvisor website that they had only one accident in 9 years.
05:54 Which is false, since no one else called me.
05:56 So, it's my daughter who serves as quality assurance for this company.
06:01 Not a visit to the hospital, nothing.
06:04 Even though they are not even convicted today.
06:07 This company shouldn't have opened,
06:09 because it reopened the day after,
06:12 by reposting photos on Instagram of people having a good time.
06:15 There was not a day of administrative closure.
06:18 And the people I filed a complaint against were not heard as...
06:23 In the case of my complaint, they were heard as witnesses.
06:25 So, I filed a complaint against the driver, the passenger.
06:29 From my point of view, it's hard to say,
06:31 but the possibility of influencing the driver, which was the case,
06:34 it influenced in a bad way.
06:36 We film a slightly dangerous situation with his phone,
06:42 to put it back on the net.
06:43 He could have pulled the cord,
06:46 oops,
06:47 he could have pushed the driver to the water.
06:50 The monitor, obviously,
06:54 obviously, because he saw things happening, but from afar,
06:57 so he could have intervened long before.
06:59 We didn't get any indication from the monitor
07:01 to know how they stopped each other.
07:04 Which surprised me a little, but it's true that
07:06 in the context of holidays and trust, I may not have asked the question.
07:09 Alcoholism is tolerated when you go out in a jet ski, it's zero.
07:12 And indeed, the question of "did you drink?" was not asked.
07:15 And in principle, all professionals detect
07:18 to detect those who drank or possibly consumed substances
07:21 that could endanger the exit.
07:23 But the timing was such that they were late
07:25 that none of this happened.
07:27 No contract signing by any of the protagonists.
07:30 The question was not asked.
07:31 And on the other hand, in the testimony, the monitor said that
07:34 when he brought them back behind him, he said that they were poisoning the alcohol
07:37 and that they told him that right away.
07:38 So I mean, it wasn't something that was undetectable.
07:41 It was pretty shouting, but hey.
07:44 And for the little story, it's that the monitor and the manager are two former police officers.
07:48 So-called super-pros of the rescue who did nothing.
07:51 They didn't call for help.
07:53 They didn't come to her side.
07:54 They didn't come afterwards.
07:55 No version that agrees.
07:57 No document.
07:58 No accidentology.
08:00 A video that wasn't used.
08:01 And we remember, yes, indeed, the driver had drunk.
08:06 But the accidentology context, I don't know if we can call it that,
08:10 was multiplied by 100 by the company, the monitor.
08:14 For me, it's quite a one-off.
08:17 First, the shortcomings.
08:18 Because what we want is several things.
08:20 The first is to have a version of the truth that holds up.
08:24 If we made mistakes, we have to know.
08:26 But I think there are some that we did that also have to fully respond,
08:30 and not just at the level of society, since there are people who give complaints.
08:34 In principle, in such a case, the maritime management must conduct an investigation.
08:37 There is none.
08:38 And the case was still closed.
08:40 What I would like is for the truth to be established,
08:42 the responsibilities to be assumed,
08:44 because we can't destroy the life of one person like that.
08:49 But it's not one person, it's several people.
08:51 It has enormous consequences, not just on me, but on my daughter,
08:54 on her sister, on her mother, of course.
08:57 We will have to make sure that Jade keeps a mental state to move forward.
09:02 Because if she is mentally there,
09:03 I think the connection between the mental and the physical will be direct.
09:06 We sometimes feel that all the staff around us is asking us to accept.
09:13 But the only way, I feel, to get by is to refuse.
09:17 The second thing we aim for is also,
09:19 in any case, in this period, to give a very strong message
09:22 to all the parents who will do jet skiing with their children,
09:27 to really be, I would say,
09:30 intransigent about the safety conditions.
09:33 And if they have the slightest doubt, my message is,
09:35 you get out of the way.
09:37 Because it happens at a speed,
09:39 you can't do anything if there is a problem.
09:40 And it's a f*cked up life.
09:42 I can't project myself at all in a scenario
09:44 where my daughter is not in an acceptable state of autonomy for her.
09:49 I'm a little out of time, actually.
09:51 It seems a little simple,
09:54 but I made the promise to always be there for her,
09:56 so I'll be there.
09:58 I'll be there.
