Bean’s video camera is still recording – he splices in his own footage (dancing street mime, his own holiday shots) and plays it over the film’s projector. The audience thinks it’s a surreal masterpiece. They applaud.

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).

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.

Stepan tries to order “pommes frites” – Bean misunderstands, produces a potato from his pocket and mimes a French fry.

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.

Bean accidentally presses “record” on his video camera, capturing everything, including Emil shouting: “Stepan! I love you! You are my son!” (This will be key later.) Bean boards the wrong train again – the same carriage as Stepan, who is traveling alone to Cannes (his father to follow). Bean tries to buy a sandwich using toy money from a Monopoly game.
