Audience laughs and cries. Emil is horrified – then the crowd gives a standing ovation. Emil embraces Stepan. Bean is a hero. Bean on the Cannes beach, in his swimming trunks and tweed jacket. He walks towards the sea. A wave hits him – he pulls out his video camera from under the water, still recording.

Bean pays with Emil’s credit card. Signature: He draws a smiley face. Waiter is unimpressed. A famous actress, Sabine (Emma de Caunes), picks them up. Her car breaks down. Bean “fixes” it by kicking the bumper – it works.

The real director faints. Bean, Stepan, and Sabine race to Cannes. Bean wants to catch Emil before he screens his film (which is just the video of Emil crying “I love you, my son!” – which Bean accidentally recorded instead of Emil’s actual movie).

At the screening: Emil’s film begins – it’s meant to be a serious Russian drama. Instead, the projector shows Bean’s footage: Emil shouting “I love you!” then cut to a seagull, then the mime, then Bean eating oysters.
