Les Amateurs - Season 1

On the way to work, Vincent, in his thirties, picks up a ringing cell phone from the floor and picks it up. He then hears women screaming, and a threatening voice: "If you are not here at 5 p.m., we will kill your wife". Alban, his 45-year-old colleague with a fiery temperament, already sees himself as the hero of the day and pushes Vincent to action.

Vincent and Alban have been kidnapped by Monsieur Hermann, the man whose wife has been kidnapped and who is trying to find her. Suspecting the two colleagues of having stolen the ransom, he promises them certain death by forcing them to go with an empty briefcase to the meeting fixed by the kidnappers, dangerous members of an Albanian gang.

After a chase and a shooting in the premises of the Departmental Agency, Vincent and Alban manage to escape with Madame Hermann. But the long-awaited reunion with her husband does not go as planned.

Vincent and Alban begin to grasp the magnitude of the plot they have set foot in, but do not have time to investigate. Victims of blackmail, they have no choice but to go and retrieve a music box by inviting themselves to Marat Milankovitch, an extremely dangerous Russian oligarch.

Targeted by the DGSE and dragging Marat with them, Vincent and Alban understand that they are only pawns in a large-scale scandal. But they couldn't warn Louise, and now they are being chased by Russian agents who are trying to eliminate Marat.

Vincent and Alban manage to escape their pursuers in extremis, but Louise is kidnapped and all seems lost. Vincent rushes to try to save her as she is held up in a disused airfield.
