I Am Scorpion!
Episode Title: "The Underground Children"
TEASER
INT. SCORPION HQ – NIGHT
Walter O'Brien stands before the team—Paige, Sylvester, Happy, Toby, Ralph, and Penelope Garcia on video—reading a newly released CIA FOIA letter.
WALTER:
The CIA just denied a FOIA request about mind control experiments on children in San Francisco, secret tunnels under preschools, deep underground military bases, and the Finders cult. They say it's outside their jurisdiction—but the rumors and survivor stories won't stop.
PAIGE:
If there's even a chance children were used as test subjects in the 1990s, we have to get answers. The official denial just raises more questions.
TOBY:
And the mention of underground tunnels and biomedical labs—if any of that's true, it's the biggest cover-up since MKUltra.
ACT 1: THE RUMORS RESURFACE
INT. SAN FRANCISCO – NORIEGA PRESCHOOL – DAY
Paige and Happy meet with a former preschool teacher who remembers unexplained renovations and strange visitors in the 1990s.
TEACHER:
They said it was plumbing work, but the workers came at night. And sometimes, kids would disappear for hours during "medical checkups."
HAPPY (scanning blueprints):
There are sealed doors here—never on the original plans.
ACT 2: THE D.U.M.B. LEAD
INT. BENICIA STRAIT – NIGHT
Sylvester and Garcia trace rumors of a deep underground military base (D.U.M.B.) beneath the Benicia Strait. They find encrypted communications referencing "biomedical enhancement" and "animal DNA protocols."
GARCIA:
Someone's still logging in from a secure terminal down there. If they're experimenting on people, we need to stop it.
ACT 3: TRANSIENTS AND LSD
INT. BUENA VISTA PARK – NIGHT
Toby and Paige interview outreach workers who recall waves of missing transients in the 1980s and 90s. Some returned—different, with gaps in memory and strange triggers.
OUTREACH WORKER:
They'd talk about "the voices underground" and "the men with needles." Some would just disappear forever.
ACT 4: THE FINDERS CONNECTION
INT. SFPD – ARCHIVES – DAY
Happy and Penelope dig into old SFPD files about The Finders cult. They find evidence of police collaboration and unexplained transfers of children to medical facilities.
HAPPY:
The paper trail ends at a medical facility tied to a shell company. Someone wanted this buried.
ACT 5: THE CONFRONTATION
INT. SCORPION HQ – NIGHT
The team assembles their findings. Walter calls a press conference, demanding a federal investigation into the tunnels, missing children, and secret experiments.
WALTER:
We've found enough to demand answers. The Agency's denials aren't enough. The truth is buried—literally.
ACT 6: THE AFTERMATH
INT. TV STUDIO – NIGHT
A news anchor summarizes:
ANCHOR (TV):
With Scorpion's revelations, pressure mounts on federal authorities to investigate decades-old rumors of mind control experiments, secret tunnels, and missing children in San Francisco. The CIA's denial has only fueled calls for transparency and justice.
