Scorpion

Crossover Event: "Vanished With a Trace"

Episode 2: "Redemption Protocol"

Extended Opening Sequence

COLD OPEN

INT. OLIVIA BENSON'S APARTMENT – NIGHT

Olivia stands in her bathroom, hands trembling as she stares at a positive pregnancy test. She sinks onto the closed toilet lid, the city's distant sirens echoing her inner turmoil.

Her phone buzzes: a message from Rollins—"You okay?" She doesn't answer.

TITLE SEQUENCE

ACT 1: INTERVENTION

INT. SCORPION HQ – CONFERENCE ROOM – DAY

Barbara Sanders stands with Walter O'Brien and Robyn McCall. The digital wall behind them is filled with photos, evidence, and maps connecting The Eye's operations to cases across the country.

BARBARA:

Olivia Benson is the key. If we want to bring the teams together, she has to be on board. But she won't listen to me—not yet.

WALTER:

She's been through enough. We can't force her.

BARBARA:

That's why Robyn goes first. Olivia trusts her. She'll listen.

ROBYN:

I'll talk to her. But she needs to know this isn't just about the case. It's about her.

INT. OLIVIA'S OFFICE – EVENING

Olivia is alone, reviewing a file. Robyn McCall enters quietly.

ROBYN:

Olivia.

Olivia looks up, surprised but not unwelcoming.

OLIVIA:

Robyn? What brings you to SVU?

ROBYN:

You. I know what happened, Olivia. And I know who did it.

OLIVIA (defensive):

If this is about The Eye, I'm already working the case.

ROBYN:

This is about you. About what they took from you—and what you have now.

Olivia's guard drops just a little.

OLIVIA:

I don't want pity.

ROBYN:

It's not pity. It's a chance. Barbara Sanders wants to help you. But there's someone you need to meet first.

ACT 2: THE ARRIVAL

INT. SAFEHOUSE – NIGHT

Barbara Sanders leads Olivia into a secure room. William Lewis is there, older and visibly changed—haunted, remorseful. Two agents stand guard.

Olivia freezes, every muscle tense.

BARBARA:

You both deserve the truth. William isn't just a monster. He was a CIA asset, manipulated by The Eye. He wants to make amends.

LEWIS (quiet, remorseful):

I can't undo what I did. But I can help you bring down the people who made me.

OLIVIA (voice trembling):

Why should I trust you?

LEWIS:

Because I know how The Eye works. And because I owe you everything.

BARBARA:

He's our inside man. If we want to stop The Eye, we need him. But only if you say yes.

Olivia looks from Barbara to Robyn, then to Lewis. She's silent, fighting back tears and rage.

LEWIS (soft, almost broken):

You know, Olivia, I used to think I was in control. That I was the master of my own evil. But I was a pawn. They used me. They made me worse.

OLIVIA (cold):

You don't get to blame them. You made choices. You hurt people. You hurt me.

LEWIS:

I know. I remember every second. Every scream. Every time you fought back. I see it every night.

OLIVIA (tears in her eyes, voice steady):

You don't get forgiveness. Not from me. Not ever.

LEWIS (nodding):

I'm not asking for it. I'm asking for a chance to make it matter. To help you stop them.

OLIVIA:

Why now? Why help me?

LEWIS:

Because I'm dying, Olivia. And because you're the only person who ever saw me for what I was. And because they're still out there, making more monsters.

OLIVIA (quiet, intense):

If you lie to me, if you betray me again, I will end you.

LEWIS:

I believe you.

OLIVIA (leaning in, deadly serious):

And Lewis, if you mess this up, I won't stop with a 2x4 this time.

Lewis flinches, understanding exactly what she means.

Barbara and Robyn exchange a look—Olivia's in control.

ACT 3: CROSSROADS

INT. OLIVIA'S APARTMENT – NIGHT

Olivia sits on her bed, hand on her stomach, replaying the conversation. She dials Barbara.

OLIVIA:

I'll do it. But this isn't forgiveness. This is justice.

BARBARA (on phone):

That's all we're asking.

ACT 4: THE TEAMS CONVERGE

INT. SCORPION HQ – WAR ROOM – NIGHT

The room is alive with activity. Video feeds show teams from:

FBI: Maggie and OA in New York

NCIS: Torres and Knight in D.C.

SVU: Rollins, Fin, and Carisi in New York

Blue Bloods: The Reagans at their dinner table

9-1-1: Bobby, Buck, Hen, and Eddie in Los Angeles

Legacy Teams: Grissom, Caine, Taylor, Eppes, Malone, Rush, Lightman, Jane, Crews, Cavanaugh, Johnson, Monk, Castle, Beckett, Finch, Reese, Sherlock, Joan, Rizzoli, Isles, McCall, Voight, and the BAU

Evidence boards connect cases from across the country, all pointing to The Eye. The Italian clues, the coded messages, the family ties—they all converge here.

Walter stands at the center, with Olivia, Barbara, Robyn, and Lewis beside him.

WALTER:

Every case, every clue, every loss—it all leads here. We're not just chasing The Eye. We're exposing the system that let it thrive.

SYLVESTER:

Our algorithm is linking cases in real time. The Italian connections aren't a coincidence—they're a roadmap.

MAGGIE (on screen, FBI):

We found another victim with an Italian postcard. "La verità è la chiave."

MAX (on screen, CSI: Vegas):

Our victim was at a Venetian masquerade. The mask hides the truth.

BOBBY (on screen, 9-1-1):

The arson at Pasticceria Bellini—definitely organized crime.

BENSON (joining the group):

La famiglia è tutto. Family is everything. That's what this is about.

FRANK REAGAN (on screen, Blue Bloods):

Respect the code, or pay the price.

LEO PATTERSON (on screen, Criminal):

We're chasing ghosts. But maybe the ghosts want to be found.

FIN (on screen, SVU):

We're ready, Cap. Just say the word.

ROBYN MCCALL:

This is bigger than any one city, any one team. But together, we're unstoppable.

Walter nods, scanning the room.

WALTER:

Welcome to Scorpion. You're not just consultants. You're family now.

Olivia looks around at the faces—old friends, new allies, even former enemies. She stands taller, her resolve clear.

ACT 5: THE EYE WATCHES

INT. SCORPION HQ – OPERATIONS CENTER – NIGHT

Suddenly, the screens flicker. The Eye hacks back, sending a chilling message:

THE EYE (distorted voice):

You think you can stop us? You're already too late.

OLIVIA (stepping forward, defiant):

Not this time.

The teams dig in, ready for the fight of their lives.

ACT 6: ALL HANDS ON DECK

INT. SCORPION HQ – COMMAND CENTER – LATER NIGHT

A massive digital map glows on the wall, showing real-time updates from every team. All the main characters—Walter, Olivia, Barbara, Robyn, Lewis, and representatives from each show—stand together, united.

WALTER:

This is it. Every resource, every connection, every skill—on the table. No more silos. No more secrets.

MAGGIE:

FBI is standing by for coordinated raids.

TORRES:

NCIS has naval intelligence tracking Eye operatives overseas.

FRANK REAGAN:

NYPD's got the city locked down.

BOBBY:

LAFD's ready for any emergency response.

MAX:

CSI's forensics will process every new clue.

LEO:

Criminal's profiling team is mapping the Eye's hierarchy.

ROBYN:

We're all in. No one gets left behind.

Walter looks to Olivia, who steps forward, eyes blazing with purpose.

OLIVIA:

This is our shot. For every victim, for every survivor, for every family—let's bring The Eye into the light.

The teams nod, everyone in sync. The camera pulls back to reveal the entire command center—dozens of agents, detectives, techs, and analysts—ready for war.

FADE OUT.
