Piste Noire, episode 3

The subs for part 3 are up at Opensubtitles (keep in mind there is SDH, but minimal). Things get bloody in this episode; Boris's situation gets desperate; we get to see where the Major lives; we finally get confirmation of which way Emilie swings, although we had some signals earlier.

"Cité des Cimes" means City/Housing Project of [or ‘on’] the Peaks. Seems to be a step up from The Reserve.

Early on, Fauvel makes his escape across the Pas de Mongins on the road to Monthey, Switzerland. This road has to be the D22, meaning Clairies in real life is Châtel. However, the scene at 1'56" was shot on a different road, as the border crossing does not look like the real Pas de Mongins. 

Let's nail down the question of what a Prefecture is. The best way to express it is the Prefecture is the national government's local presence. You probably go there to access national government services and officials.

Idiom note: At 23:54 Loic says C'est n'importe quoi, fouetter un chat, which literally translates as "It's nonsense, whipping the cat." I have translated it as "Why are your whiskers in a twist?"

Projects note: I'll be doubling up, working on Piste Noire while I harvest the French subtitles from episodes of Les Pennac(s).
