TEXT: Chamonix [France] - chalet Sydney and Vaughn are installing a wireless camouflaged camera onto a cliff face. SYDNEY: Hand me the receiver. SYDNEY: Check the power. SYDNEY: Antenna. SYDNEY: Marshall? MARSHALL: Go, Mountaineer. SYDNEY: Camera's in position. MARSHALL: Camera's online; signal strength is good. Testing infrared. Infrared is five by... You're good to go Sydney to Vaughn: SYDNEY: Are you ready? VAUGHN: Let's do it. They BASE jump off of the cliff. [SCENE_BREAK] L.A. [US] - Rotunda DIXON: According to our Covenant defector, Mr. Lisenker, the chalet you were sent to surveil is owned by one of his former contacts, an arms dealer. DIXON: Lisenker visited the chalet a number of times on Covenant business. What the Covenant doesn't know is that when Lisenker decided to defect, he hid a microdisc there. On it is a copy of the Doleac agenda. SYDNEY: The Doleac agenda? DIXON: The Covenant playbook. It details operational plans for the six Covenant cells including the names and headquarters of the cell leaders. JACK: Obviously if we can identify and capture any of their leaders, we can hobble the Covenant, in the best case scenario shut them down completely. VAUGHN: Can't Lisenker tell us what's on the disc? JACK: Lisenker had neither the time nor the technology to decrypt it. SYDNEY: Have we identified a point of entry for the chalet? MARSHALL: Actually, uh, based on what I could pick up from the infrared cameras you placed, perimeter defenses are way too strong, so you can't go in on the ground. And, uh, parachuting in, that's not an option because they've got these turrets that would make that not
SUMMARY:
The Covenant defector, Lisenker, discloses the location of the Doleac Agenda, a microdisc which contains information about the six Covenant cells. It is in a chalet with a protection system designed by security expert Toni Cummings, whom Sydney and Weiss meet while posing as diamond smugglers. They obtain schematics of the security systems, bypass the lethal response security and escape with the Agenda. Sloane meets with CIA psychologist Dr. Barnett and reveals that he has a secret that affects the only two people he cares about in the world, Sydney and Jack. Sark meets with Lauren and reveals that he knows her affiliation with The Covenant. He proposes that they stage a coup, kill all six cell leaders and demand ascension within The Covenant by threatening to present the CIA with access keys kept by each of the leaders. After killing the leaders, Sark meets with McKenas Cole who then reveals that Lauren had informed him of their intentions and was happy that the leaders were dead since the CIA were soon to learn of their identities. As a reward, Cole makes Sark and Lauren the heads of the North American cell.
