How vital is this information? Because it may be possible to just avoid it entirely.
For instance "You are going to New Orleans to track down the infamous criminal Papa Panic and shut down his heroin importing operation." can be more
effectively handled by "When Agent Carter arrived in new Orleans he had no idea how hard finding Papa Panic would be. Heroin was a major commodity here
and well entrenched, which made..." blah blah blah.
You can have small, relevant flashback to the breifing information only when you need to reveal it as well. That part of the advantage of writing, which
doesn't have to deal with linear time the same way visual mediums do. For example, "The Jade Pleasure Dome was full of a cloud of head-numbing smoke
and the sound of smooth Jazz. The patrons gave Agent Carter disinterested glances as he made his way to the bar. According to his breifing many dealers
practically lived in the secluded private booths in the back room..."
Generally speaking once you have established there was a breifing and that the characters were given important information from it you don't need to reveal
all that information at once. It can be placed in abeyance until needed to be revealed to the audience. Its the same principle which allows you to have a nice
caper film without revealing all the plans until its dramatically appropriate to the audience.
