Piste Noire, episode 5

It's a wrap on episode 5.

This episode is a great setup for the finale.  We see the aftermath of the pedestrian bridge; Servoz deals with grief; Alexia has an unwelcome encounter, then starts planning a "hike"; TENSION for the Karras household; TENSION for the Monfort household; TENSION for Charlotte, Tatiana, and Jourdan; the person who torched the trailer (and killed Fabrice Emery) is revealed.

Notes: I hope the make up artist got an award, Alexia's injuries (9'12") look amazing.

Yeux noirs (27'12") means "black eyes," but one of the meanings refers to Romani/Travellers, and that appears to be the context here.

At 47'33" Emilie is on the phone and orders up... something that involves ramonage (sweeping).  I can't make out the rest of what she says.  But what happens with Charlotte at the beginning of episode 6 means it could only refer to phone data, so I've translated it as a "phone sweep."

Erratum:  Any new Capitaine Marleau work is off due to technical reasons-- no one could be more disappointed about this than I am.
