Synopsis: Most people would see it as a bonus to be sent a few days to the Côte d'Azur to solve a smaller routine case, but for the righteous, extremely self-controlled and dull lawyer Michael Helge it is more like a punishment. Sun, sand, and sea are not things that appear on his top ten list. The case is supposedly just a simple divorce, but as soon as Michael Helge sets feet on French soil, everything goes wrong. He gets hustled for 10 million kroner of the company's money, and suddenly the future looks less bright. Fortunately, he meets his old friend, the frivolous gambler Theo, and together they plan how to get all the money back in a true James Bond style...

at the pigeons and shouting "partey!".

- This way?

- Yes.

Partey!

Run!

Release the line.

Run against the wind.

Yes, that's it.

It's pretty here.

Quite nice.

It's okay.

It'll do.

Hey, girls.

I've got some bad news

and some good news.

And more good news on top of that.

Here's the bad news:

Bob and Marianne are gone.

But the good news is that

I know how to get your money back.

Okay?

And the other good news?

The other good news is

that you can lend me DKK 2 million.

Say what?

You want me to use all my savings

on entering you into a poker game.

- Are you mad?

- I haven't got that kind of money.

- Do you know the odds?

- It's what I do.

I'll get your 10 million back,

so you can go home.

I didn't f*** around

and get hustled.

No, you're too busy sniffing

cocaine off a butt horse.

- It's a pony, and it's called Fanny.

- Precisely.

It's a closed game

for stupid rich tourists.

Just get me the buy-in

and leave the rest to me.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime game!

- Just like that Jelling comet

- Halley's.

- That only appears every 7th

- 76th year.

Exactly!

That's the kind of game it is.

Look... You've got the dough,

I've got the talent.

- There must be an easier way.

- Call your father-in-law.

- Oh no.

- I'm so stoked!

- This is great! I'm gonna do a line.

- To celebrate.

To celebrate what?

That we're doing a line.

You already lost 10 million.

Have you got a choice?

I guess not.

Okay.

Hello, Ole.

This is Michael Helge Hansen.

Sorry to call you after hours.

It's about my pension fund.

I'd like you to transfer the money

to a French account.

Alright.

Serve the lobster!

Need help with that?

It's going to attack me now.

To get its revenge.

Ugly or not, they're cute.

Just like kids.

I don't really like cooking

Morten and Peter.

You named them?

Well, in that case

we just can't kill them.

- No.

- Tell you what Let's release them.

- No.

- Yes.

- We can't.

- Sure we can. Let's do it.

- What about dinner?

- We'll think of something.

- Voil. Canned crab.

- They think they're having lobster.

- What are they gonna say?

- Nothing. They won't notice a thing.

Some blind tasting.

Alright!

This is delish!

Melge, it's fantastic.

- Pasta, pesto, the lobster

- The lobster is great.

Awesome.

What a great idea to grate it.

It was great, Melge.

Delish.

- Sure.

- Melge!

- It's my entire life savings.

- Congrats! We're in.

- What if we lose?

- We won't.

- But what if we lose?

- We won't, because I know my sh*t.

How do you think I won this boat?

Chill out. Have a drink.

Everything's gonna be okay.

You'll get your millions back soon.

Hey, let's all go skinny dipping.
