That one indicates a descent

Further on I keep seeing that the captain is trying to make sense of what are apparently continuously divergent readings.
He seems to be getting it right initially when he points to the emergency artificial horizon indicator but then starts doubting when apparently directed towards other attitude information which is in disagreement with that emergency artificial horizon:
The only stable reading not in dispute is the altitude (9000 feet not disputed), but other attitude readings seem to be in total disagreement
I read it slightly differently - remember he's come in having been woken up from trying to sleep. Unfortunately he never names the instruments he's describing (except when he tries to draw their attention to the horizon and standby horizon). I read it as him seeing them nose-high with TOGA power, trying to work out why the altitude is falling away, and then - sadly too late, he seems to realise, and tells his crew to put the nose down:

But I'm nose up to the limit since earlier
CAP: Non non non ne remonte pas
No no no don't climb back up
PNF: Alors descends
Go down, then
At this point it's too late to do anything, but it appears that the Captain and PNF are finally aware of what's happened, unfortunately the PF doesn't seem to have been as quick on the uptake (understandably, as he'd been fighting the thing most of the way down) - and bizarrely, the Captain and PNF seem to agree...
2 h 13 min 45
PNF: Alors donne-moi les commandes à moi les commandes
So give the me controls. The controls to me.
PF: Vas-y tu as les commandes on est en TOGA toujours hein
Go on, you have the controls. We're still in TOGA, ok

CAP: Attention tu cabres là
Watch it, you're pitching up
PNF: Je cabre ?
I'm pitching up?
PF: Ben il faudrait on est à quatre mille pieds
Well, we should, we're at 4000 feet
2 h 14 min 18
CAP: Allez tire
Go on, pull
PF: Allez on tire on tire on tire on tire
Go on, we're pulling we're pulling we're pulling we're pulling
Painful reading.
