Léna is on the run after putting herself back in the frame. The killer gets all of Parisian cyberspace involved by releasing a video threat read by an AI Léna, and now Real Léna has to hide from vigilantes as well as the police. Samir hopes to find her before she gets publicly lynched, and not metaphorically.

NOTES
Educated guesses about things starting with pist: Ludo says Léna was était pistonné/pistonner, literally ‘well connected’ (8’05”), which could mean a lot of things but does include ‘had contacts/could pull strings’— and it was established she was hired as a favor to someone. But it can also mean ‘phoning it in,’ which also seemed to be true at first.
Then it sounds like Médard says Léna was était pistolet, ‘was a pistol’ (8’10”), which is an English expression too though probably antiquated. I guess it fits the context, but… Maybe it’s a joke that Médard is old and thought Ludo meant pistol.
The chatroom threat (17’27”) reads:
She was right under your nose from the start and you did nothing, as usual!
We'll have to take care of her…
If we find her, we'll smoke her!
AI Léna’s line, ‘I'm going to do something to help you understand,’ which we just saw at 16’22”, is missing when the manifesto is replayed as an interstitial (20’30”).
22’46”: At this point I was expecting a scene where Arnaud finds digital artifacts in the video proving it’s a fake. But no, we go with Samir’s gut.
Me chauffe pas trop (28’16”) means ‘don’t get me revved up,’ but that sounds too friendly.
31’12”: Is that pasta with meatballs and… Brussels sprouts?

The series concludes. For a while things looked bad for Lena, who is nearly executed by the vigilantes on live streaming. But while enjoying some post-rescue flirting, the writers have Lena discover an out-of-left-field clue casting suspicion on Samir. About five seconds after that everyone’s back in the brigade’s office strategizing about tracking the killer– and then a man claiming to be said killer walks out of left field and surrenders in the Prefecture lobby. It’s so unlikely, even Agathe remarks on how unlikely it is (a Freudian message from the writers?). The team quickly deduces the ‘killer’ is really a front for the real mastermind, who we have not seen before and then shows up deus ex machina-like.
MISC
I did a little more work on this episode than just simple subtitle cleanup.
NOTES
2’24”: At the end of Episode 5 I did not get this implication of Lena finding Samir’s vision board. I blame the writers.
3’59”: Agathe is talking to the Prefect, and she continues while we see Samir downstairs releasing Lena (4’08”). To make this clear I put Agathe and the Prefect subtitles at the top of the screen.
5’02”: Oh sure, now they run the fake video past Arnaud. Off-screen.
15 Rue de Petrarque (13’23”) is a 6-storey apartment building in the Trocadero neighborhood. It’s two blocks from Mathieu Béllanger’s apartment on Av. de Camoens (Le crime de la tour Eiffel).
The psych hospital doctor (15’27”) is Amaury de Crayencour, ‘Dr Weiss’ on Cesar Wagner.
The previous message (20’44”) reads, Je peux pas répondre, Ruffin veut nous voir, ‘I can't answer, Ruffin wants to see us.’
Huh. Lena looks like she’s an old pro at putting on a bulletproof vest (21’10”).
The 17th district (33’53”) is in northwest Paris adjacent to the Arc de Triomphe.
35’57”: Oh my god, it’s the stupidest office farewell.
