NOTES
The DGSE (0'52"), founded in 1982, is the French CIA. It took over from the Service de documentation extérieure et de contre-espionnage. It is at 141 Blvd Mortier in Paris.
The original Dagobert (2'47") was King of the Franks in the 7th Century. He was the last of his family, the Merovingians ('from the sea'), to really rule the country. A lot of modern conspiracy theories and alt-history has sprung up around him and his family (see The Da Vinci Code et al). Whereas, the Club of 5 (aka The Famous Five) were the child heroes of a series of mid-20th Century YA adventure novels. The Five were two boys, two girls, and their dog Dagobert.
La pluie aide de protection, 'protection rain aide' (4'05") must be a metaphorical 'protective umbrella.'
Raph must be referring to Quentin (4'45") and Q, James Bond's MI-6 'quartermaster' of gadgets.
I've never heard of ha! (10'36") having a different definition than in the English. Raph seems to be echoing Astrid's 'yes.'
Minitel (11'12") was a French-made communication/information system that networked over phone lines. It existed from 1982 to 2012. Home terminals could be used to send and receive email, buy things, access business information, and look up phone numbers.
Guoanbu (17'50") is the Ministry of State Security for China.
La Défense (21'13") is a district in western Paris named to honor Franco-Prussian War veterans in 1883. Since the 1970s it has transformed gradually into an ultra-modern-looking business district. It has 20 of Paris' 24 skyscrapers.
Norah says to Raph, la CIA vous à mené un bateau, 'the CIA led you by a boat' (25'05"). This expression means to lead astray or down the garden path, bamboozle, and the like.
La Courneuve (34'29") is a town that is part of metropolitan Paris, located 5 miles north of central Paris. It does not have a Rue de Commerce, but there is a Place du Commerce, a residential/retail development in the southwest part of town.
A lanceuse d'alerte (35'06") is a whistleblower.
As Nico explains later, Azathoth (35'46") is a deity in the works of HP Lovecraft, and is indescribable because everyone perceives him differently and he is always changing.
Nous se débrouiller comme une chef (37'02") means 'We're going to handle this like a boss.' In this case, bluff that you have the authority to do something.
DGSE headquarters, Les Tourelles, is at 141 Boulevard Mortier, just inside the Peripherique beltway on the northeast edge of central Paris. A different building plays the DGSE in the episode (39'30").
