Jack tells
him to stay focused and maintain his cover as a double agent. Syd,
talking to CIA psychiatrist Dr. Arnett, says she can't move
past Vaughn, whom
she calls her "soul mate."
Sark, leering at Lauren, confronts her and says he knows she
killed his father. Knowing that she's Covenant too, and he proposes
that they murder the six Covenant cell leaders, steal the keys
to their respective headquarters, then meet with the head of
Covenant operations in St. Petersburg. They'll then demand more
power within the Covenant in return for not turning the keys
in to the CIA.
In Athens, Syd and Weiss lure Cummings to offer details of the
chalet's lethal response security system. She gives them the
schematics but says there is no way to pass the deadly obstacles.
Marshall gets to work.
Sloane shoots up, then calls Jack and tells him he needs a psychiatrist.
When she visits him, he tries to manipulate her. She won't give
in. Later, she says that she understands him. Sloane says he
has a secret regarding Jack and Syd that wears on him.
Dixon, reporting that Covenant officials are being killed, believes
it's because the Covenant knows they're after the Doleac Agenda.
Syd and Vaughn leave for Chamonix immediately. Jack accompanies
them in order to execute Marshall's plan remotely.
On the plane, Vaughn
says he understands why Syd requested Weiss on the earlier
mission. Syd stands firm and refuses to be "the
other woman." Jack says the Agenda is encrypted in a micro-doc
hidden in the cork of a bottle of Chateau Margot 1953.
At the chalet, Jack establishes a laser link to the security
server, allowing Marshall to tap in. They have five minutes to
get to the cellar. They inflate Marshall-manufactured inflatable
Kevlar decoys, which trigger the machine guns to fire until they
empty their clips. Carrie, Marshall's girlfriend, goes into labour
and demands they get married before she has the baby. Weiss goes
online and certifies himself as a minister and performs the ceremony
while Marshall guides Syd and Vaughn through the chalet. They
make it though an electrified tunnel and an acid kill zone, and
find the bottle in the wine cellar as the alarm sounds. They
barely make it out, as Jack kills two pursuing guards.
Believing Lauren to
be in LA, Sark travels to St. Petersburg to meet the head of
Covenant operations — it's McKenas
Cole, the former SD-6 rogue. Cole knows Sark's game; Lauren's
double-crossed Sark. He knows the CIA has the Doleac Agenda,
however, and believes Sark's treachery benefited them. As thanks,
he gives Lauren and Sark leadership of the North American cell.
He then tells Lauren to stop her husband's extracurricular activities.
At the CIA, Lauren tells Syd to stay away from Vaughn.
