This sequel marks the end of the series...or does it? The rookie cop Staziak (Daniel Quinn) is now a plain clothes detective (he must have had one good year), and uses his scanning capabilities to rout criminals and foil evildoers. We meet an evil scanner (Patrick Kilpatrick)- yes, another one- who has escaped from a mental ward and is trying to kill Staziak. It seems he can also suck the "lifeforce" out of other scanners. You see the scanner finale coming as scanner cop and evil scanner do scanner battle.

In the beginning of the film, Staziak fools a kidnapper into thinking Staziak is an ac... lees die res.
