East Wing
Episode: "The Shadow Cabinet"
Scene: Response to "I Am Scorpion"
INT. WHITE HOUSE – EAST WING – SECURE SITUATION ROOM – NIGHT
Phones ring, aides hustle, and screens flash with live news coverage of Walter O'Brien's press conference. The President's chair is conspicuously empty. Director Ellen Hart (CIA), General Ricci (NATO), and Deputy Director Mason (CIA, clandestine ops) watch the broadcast in grim silence.
ON SCREEN:
Walter O'Brien, flanked by his team, holds up the redacted MK-ULTRA file.
WALTER (on TV):
"My name is Walter O'Brien. I am Scorpion. And today, we end the era of mind control…"
Hart mutes the broadcast. For a moment, no one speaks.
HART (cold, controlled):
He just declared war on us.
MASON:
The public's going to demand answers. We're already seeing chatter spike—#MKUltra, #TheEye, #ScorpionTruth.
RICCI:
Containment protocols are in effect. Social media teams are flooding the networks with counter-narratives. We'll bury this in conspiracy theory noise.
HART:
It's not enough. O'Brien's got credibility. Survivors. Evidence. We need to discredit him—fast.
MASON:
Activate Operation Obelisk. Full-spectrum media blackout on all Scorpion-related content. Deploy assets to monitor and, if necessary, neutralize whistleblowers.
RICCI:
And the President?
HART (firm, lowering her voice):
The President cannot know. This operation is strictly compartmentalized—codeword clearance only. Anyone without Omega Black or higher is locked out. If the President asks, we're running a routine counter-espionage drill. Nothing more.
MASON:
Even most of our own staff don't have access. Only those with direct need-to-know are briefed. The rest are kept in the dark—by design.
RICCI:
If anyone tries to escalate or leak, we have the authority to invoke national security protocols. No exceptions.
HART:
Remember, this is bigger than any administration. The Eye, MK-ULTRA, Gateway—these are legacy operations. We maintain plausible deniability at all costs. No one outside this room has full context. Not Congress, not the Joint Chiefs, not even the National Security Advisor.
MASON:
What about The Eye's operatives embedded in Scorpion's coalition?
HART:
If they can't sow doubt, they're expendable.
RICCI:
And if Scorpion keeps pushing?
HART (steely):
Then we remind the world: The Eye sees all. And sometimes, the shadows fight back.
She leans forward, eyes cold and calculating.
HART:
No more leaks. No more heroes. We control the narrative. We always have.
The camera lingers on the muted screen—Walter's determined face frozen mid-sentence—before cutting to black.

CIA Revelations: Behavior Control FRANK REYNOLDS: There were new revelations today about cloak-and-dagger spy operations by our side. The CIA Director, Admiral Stansfield Turner, met with the Senate Intelligence Committee. in a closed session to provide more information-about MK-Ultra. MK- Ultra is a CIA program started nearly 25 years ago to control human behavior through the use of drugs, electric shock, psycho- surgery, and other rather sophisticated techniques. The CIA now says it has discovered documents relating to the program that apparently were not filed in the right place. Acting under the Freedom of Information Act a former State Department official, John Marx, has obtained a number of other documents on MK-Ultra. He made them public today. Bill Downs has that story. BILL DOWNS: John Marksays the latest CIA documents show 'that in the 1950s the CIA secretly contracted with an unidentified professor of neurology to go to an unnamed state prison.for an experiment on an unrevealed number of convicts. The agency had learned that the Russians were testing a drug called Bobolocapnine [?].- MK-Ultra wanted to know if the drug actually could induce loss of willpower and memory. Another documented case involves two suspected Russian CIA agents which the agency feared might have been compromised. Both agents were drugged, then hypnotized. They relived past incidents in their lives, the documents report. Interrogations were very successful. Among the MK-Ultra documents produced today was a 1949 letter outlining ways of killing a person without leaving evidence of murder.
