The famous Riviera is hosting a meeting
which could be crucial for the future of our planet.
This will be the seventh international summit on fossil fuels.
Petrol Global, organizer of the event,
has invited the popular young climate activist Sima Scott.
Scott is unlikely to tolerate any greenwashing at the summit,
so some tension is expected.
Now I'd like to bring in my guest, Boris Briche.
You've reached Ludovic Bruno. Please leave a message.
Come on, just call me back.
I'm worried, and I'm starting to get pissed.
"Greenwashing" is false advertising...
Screw you.
...to promote an eco-responsible brand without having to make any real effort
or implement changes...
Ugh, I'm starving.
Doughnuts and pastries!
Three euros for a doughnut or two for five euros!
- Doughnuts, come... -
- Yannis, toss me a doughnut, come on. - No, I'm not running a drive-through.
Oh.
You gotta be kidding.
Come and get your doughnuts and pastries, fresh and hot.
Hey, lady, learn how to park!
You're fucking annoying. I'm running behind. Seriously.
Has Ludo called you?
- Not yet. I'm worried. - Come on, you know how he is.
No, no, no, those ones.
Oh right, like your doughnuts are organic.
Come on, man.
- Oh, fuck. - What?
Isn't that Ludo's informant? Hang on.
Wait, Léo, you have to pay.
- Mareschi! - You gotta pay!
Mareschi!
Yo!
Mareschi!
Yeah, I get, but honestly I prefer cash for accounting purposes.
It's easier to...
- - Mareschi!
Huh?
What the...
- -
Idiot!
Mareschi!
Stop running! Stop!
Hey!
Hey, stop running!
I'm innocent! Move!
Out of the way!
Damn it.
Where'd he go?
Ah! Oh! Oh!
- Not so fast. Whoa, hold on. - Okay.
I'm sorry, okay.
Come on, why'd you run? I just thought we would chat.
I didn't recognize you in that stupid hat.
You're Léo Leiman.
You know there's a guy trying to kill you, right?
That German dude, you know where he hangs out.
- He looks like a ripped Guy Fieri, right? - Yeah, yeah. Bauer. He wants me dead.
Hey, be careful. I mean, death is pretty definite, right?
Listen, I'm, uh, looking for First Lieutenant Ludovic Bruno.
- Help me out. - Ludo? Well, of course.
- I mean, Ludo's a good guy. Come on. - Well, he disappeared ten days ago.
Oh, man.
Maybe he went on a random vacation.
- Civil servants do that a lot, right? - No.
Well, have you tried geolocation?
Well, no. Walk me through it.
Wow.
Look, it's called the Internet. But I don't do that anymore.
Ever since I got out of prison, I don't mess with that.
Don't cops have someone for that?
- - Keep that thing on vibrate.
- That's gonna be stuck in my head all day. -
That idiot Ludo changed my ringtone, and now I can't seem to make...
Whatever.
You're gonna stay very, very, very reachable, Mareschi, is that clear?
Sure. No problem. Yeah. Want my digits?
I don't usually do that.
I'll air-drop you.
- There you go. -
Bat the Bat. That's me. How do you do?
You have my address, my number.
While we're at it, knowing how to drive a little dinghy
doesn't make you a waterskiing instructor, okay?
Go easy with the beach scams, huh?
Hmm? Uh, wait, hey, hey! Give me a chance, Leiman.
My dinghy's not as little as you think.
- I doubt it. - My dinghy's above average.
- Leiman. - What are you doing?
I'm almost there. I'm really close.
- Parking is a bitch. - You think I'm an idiot?
- I can hear the seagulls. - What?
Stop working on your tan, get in your car, and get to the office.
I'm not working on my tan. I'm looking for Ludo...
Okay! What the hell are you doing?
That stupid greenwashing summit starts tomorrow.
We've got about a hundred international oil and gas CEOs arriving soon.
- And they've invited climate activists. - Don't.
They will all show up in their little sailboats
with their patchouli and their vegan leather.
We have to keep them safe too.
And we can't forget their boss, that pissy teenage girl who loves to yell.
She means Sima Scott, the girl who knows so much about the planet.
Shh, quiet, I'm listening.
We know eco-friendly rhetoric is whiny and super annoying,
but no one hates it more than oil people.
Matter of fact, speaking of that little tree-hugging brat,
she's been receiving death threats lately, but has no intention of keeping quiet.
In other words, we need a solid team for the climate summit,
so I'm putting our best officers on this.
- Man, this is tough. - I'm not ready for this.
I need all of you to be a little less mediocre than usual, okay?
You think you can pull this off?
- We got this. - No problem.
- I do love a challenge. - Perfect.
Now get a load of this.
These pigheaded capitalist morons
chose a place which is almost impossible to keep safe for this long.
And we have only three days to fully secure the entire area.
This zone here.
We block off the stairs...
So, hear anything on Ludo?
- No. I mean, not since this morning. - No.
Have you tried checking on his location, or...
Well, we have the equipment, but it's crazy complicated.
- So, I mean, we... - We had problems figuring...
- We don't know how to use it. - Whatever.
Frédéric Valence.
I serve as the director of communications for Sima, and for the future...
- Sima Scott. - ...of renewable energy.
- How are you? - A quick word about your visit.
After four months of sailing, we're back on shore.
We went to countries where the results of climate change
are a question of life and death.
Vulnerable populations are bearing this burden.
They shouldn't be responsible.
We are here to remind these rich guys that while they drink champagne,
people are suffering and dying because of their actions.
If we want to preserve life on planet Earth,
we simply can't allow them to burn fossil fuels for energy anymore.
- We came to remind them. - Thank you, Sima.
- We'll get them, Petrol Global. - Uh-huh.
- Uh... - Frédéric Valence.

Well, on my end, I questioned Mareschi for a while this morning.
He's the... the hacker, the CI I got through Ludo.
Oh, that blond guy, right?
The one we locked up for credit card fraud?
That's him. He was wearing a headband.
Oh, man.
Look, well, that's not important.
Mareschi told me he hasn't heard from Ludo either.
He's been missing for ten days at this point.
We're going to find him. I put Laura and Gustavo on it.
- They're up for it. - Up for...
They couldn't find Gustavo's dick with two hands and a map.
Listen, I know you're worried about your friend Ludo.
But trust me, my intuitions are never wrong.
Ludo is just fine.
Come in!
Excuse me, Captain,
our colleagues from the airport want you to get over there right now.
- Like right now, right away. - Why?
I think to go get the first lieutenant, Ludovic Bruno.
Wait, he's where?
Uh, so...
