Scorpion
Crossover Event: "Vanished With a Trace"
Episode 1: Code of Silence – Legacy Calls
ACT 1: The Encrypted Signal
INT. SCORPION HEADQUARTERS – WAR ROOM – DAY
Walter O'Brien, Paige, Happy, Toby, and Sylvester are surrounded by monitors streaming encrypted data and digital maps.
TOBY:
This isn't just a hack. The code's layered—chess moves, modular folding, Zugzwang. Someone's playing for keeps.
WALTER:
They're erasing people's identities and replacing them with digital ghosts. Whoever's behind this, it's not their first time.
HAPPY:
Signals are coming from all over—New York, DC, Chicago, Switzerland.
PAIGE:
It's not just data. It's lives.
ACT 2: Legacy Lines
INT. SCORPION HEADQUARTERS – TECH BAY – DAY
Happy and Sylvester analyze RFID chip data.
HAPPY:
EMP pulses, RFID chips, remote neuro-control. This is trafficking by algorithm.
SYLVESTER:
We need outside expertise. People who've seen this kind of thing before.
Walter grabs his phone and dials.
PHONE CALL 1: THE EQUALIZER
INTERCUT – INT. MCCALL'S APARTMENT – NIGHT
WALTER:
Robyn McCall, this is Walter O'Brien. We're tracking a global trafficking network using tech we've never seen. EMPs, RFID, identity erasure. You ever run into something like this?
MCCALL:
Walter, I've seen black sites use similar methods. If you're seeing EMP and RFID, you're dealing with ex-agency or deep state. I'll send you my files on Project Sun Street and related ops. Watch your team's six.
WALTER:
Thanks, McCall. We'll keep you updated.
PHONE CALL 2: S.W.A.T.
INTERCUT – INT. HONDO'S OFFICE – NIGHT
WALTER:
Sergeant Harrelson, this is Walter O'Brien with Scorpion. We're tracking a trafficking ring using advanced tech—RFID, EMP, digital identity theft. We could use your tactical insight.
HONDO:
Walter, we've busted rings using similar tech—never this sophisticated. I'll forward you our after-action reports. You get a location, you call me. S.W.A.T. will be ready.
WALTER:
Appreciate it, Hondo.
PHONE CALL 3: THE EQUALIZER (SECONDARY)
INTERCUT – INT. MCCALL'S APARTMENT – LATER
MCCALL:
Walter, one more thing. If you find any evidence of government contracts or shell companies, cross-check with my list. Some of these players are ghosts.
WALTER:
Copy that. We'll run everything through your database.
ACT 3: The Digital Trail
INT. SCORPION HEADQUARTERS – NIGHT
Toby and Paige monitor the network as Happy finishes the counter-cipher.
TOBY:
We're getting a ping from New York. Someone's moving the data through an art gallery on 14th Street.
PAIGE:
Should we alert the other teams?
WALTER:
Let's keep the line open. If we need boots on the ground, we'll call S.W.A.T. and McCall.
ACT 4: The Monastery
EXT. SWISS ALPS – NIGHT
The team infiltrates a monastery, disabling traps and finding a ledger of composite identities.
WALTER:
They're trafficking people through the prison system using duplicate IDs. The NUN Z counter-cipher is the key to disrupting their control.
ACT 5: The Next Generation
INT. SCORPION HEADQUARTERS – WAR ROOM – DAY
Walter reviews the data, phone in hand.
WALTER (on phone):
McCall, Hondo—Scorpion's sending you a full data dump. If you see any overlap with your old cases, let us know.
MCCALL:
Already scanning, Walter. You're not alone in this.
HONDO:
We got your back, Scorpion.
Walter hangs up, looking at his team.
WALTER:
They thought they could hide in the shadows. Not with us on the case.
HAPPY:
Well, that stings.
The team shares a determined look as the screen fades to black.
