Subtitles download link
Three weeks have passed, and Morgane and Karadec's relationship is the worst kept secret at the commisariat. The brigade receives a visitation from Mélusine, a medium who claims a spirit gave her a vision of a woman being attacked. Morgane loves it of course, treating the paranormal like a guilty pleasure. Daphné loves it too, but of course for her it’s super serious. Théa and Morgane wonder what’s up with Karadec’s mysterious renting of an Airbnb. Gilles and Afida seem locked into a future together, but her days at the front desk are numbered if Celine has anything to say about it. Meanwhile, clues like the initials JJ, the name Brad, and the number 12 lead Morgane and Daphné to NFL night at a sports bar. The central bureaucracy rears its head.

NOTES
1’44”: I can’t make out the title of the second pamphlet.
Morgane seems to be asking about ruines (4’39”), ‘ruins/remains,’ which doesn’t make sense. However, ruiner can mean ‘bankrupt,’ so I think she means ‘money problems.’
There is no good single English word for revenant as used here (5’53” c.f.)— other than ‘revenant,’ I think most people don’t know what it means besides the Leonardo DiCaprio movie. The closest is ‘ghost,’ which I don’t like, but the Dalida reference mandates it.
Do Americans know Dalida (1933-1987)? She was an actor/singer who sold many millions of records. Her song “Paroles, Paroles” (with Alain Delon, 1973), is a great road song.
2Be3 was a French boy band, active 1996-2001. Their first big single was Partir un jour. No, I've never heard of them either.
9’40”: The anti-internet piracy agency is HADOPI, the High Authority for the Diffusion of Works and the Protection of Copyright on the Internet.
Cité de l'Espace, ‘Space City’ (12’16”), is a space/astronomy-focused public science center which opened in Toulouse in 1997. Toulouse is also the center of the French aerospace industry; it is the location of the headquarters of Airbus.
Zone Blanche, “White Zone” (14’14”) was a 2017-2019 sci-fi TV show about a forest town called Villefranche with an abnormally high murder rate. The phrase can also mean ‘dead zone,’ like when a UFO disrupts terrestrial communications.
Zone Blanche was picked up by Amazon and Netflix under the title Black Spot. Yes, it’s the opposite.
The subtitle to The Zero Waste Revolution (22’11”) is “How to change the world without filling its trash cans.”
The victim Betty says she remontée, ‘went back up’ (24’27”). But she was already in her hallway, so I’m translating it as ‘went inside.’
There’s something weird on the audio at exactly the 30 minute mark that sounds like a demon clearing its throat.
46’15”: When Mélusine witnessed the assault, Betty shouted something that sounds like Sous insulter [or insulté] s'il vous plaît, ‘[something-something] please.’ Which doesn’t make sense at all, so I’m leaving it in French.
The scene goes on too long, it’s awful.
48’35”: Betty’s lines don’t match what we heard two minutes earlier.
Lomme (58’23”) is a district on Lille’s west side.
