Their agreement with Lazarey
was that he was going to disappear after they found
The Cube, and Sydney would deliver said
Cube to Kendall. Instead, he got
a DVD
|
|
|
|
|
So Syd gets a video show of ... |
|
herself, saying that since everrything always gets stolen from the CIA
and The Cube is definitely important, she'd rather take care of
it
herself,
then erase her memories
of what she did with it
|
|
|
|
with this nifty memory erasing procedure |
|
|
|
She says if she comes back, Kendall should not to tell her what
happened |
|
|
|
Kendall says he's telling her now, because the Covenant has The Cube,
and we'll finally now get to the crux of the exposition
(insert
drumroll):
seems the Covenant believes in a second Rambaldi coming
via a child. |
|
Seems the fanatical followers of Rambaldi believe the DNA in The Cube
can be transformed and used to fertilize the egg of a surrogate mother,
someone referred
to as The Chosen One
|
|
|
|
|
All they needed was The Cube, and to extract eggs from The Chosen One,
hence the
scar she has |
|
|
|
Finally at the end of the exposition, Kendall explains he got the DVD
two days before she turned up in Hong
Kong.
He
was pissed,
but
willing
to
let it
go.
But now four
months
later,
Sydney went straight for The Cube and he wants to know why |
|
Syd says, a little more exposition then. It began a few weks ago with
... |
|
|
|
an envelope that Sloane had, in her handwriting, with
the Rome apartment key
for Julia Thorne, which lead to a discovery
of a code |
|
|
|
which lead to the discovery in the desert of a box containing Lazarey's
severed hand |
|
which lead her to Lazarey and to The
Cube - so basically the Covenant planted the trail of clues and wanted
her to lead them to The Cube |
|
|
|
Kendall wants to
know why she didn't
destroy The Cube.
Syd's not sure - says
maybe
there is another step, maybe
someone else is involved, because there has to be some
mystery continuing after this episode
