Scanners II: The New Order Page #5

who will be confirming the apparent suicide

of Chief of Police Mitchel Stokes

and announcing an acting chief

as his immediate successor.

Sources close to the Mayor have confirmed

that her choice is Vice Chief Norman Yancy.

That man Yancy, he's soft,

against everything we discussed.

- But how do I know?

- He's not a leader.

Under him, the city will get sicker,

probably die.

David, cities die sometimes.

Do you know that?

New York's already dead. Los Angeles...

- I need you now.

- What do you want me to do?

Scan the Mayor.

Let's go. Come on.

Officer.

Sit in there.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Mayor Franzone.

This isn't right. She was elected.

David, if we don't do it, nobody will.

We did all right at the dairy

the other day, didn't we?

- I deeply mourn...

- Trust me.

...the death of my dear friend

Chief Mitchel Stokes.

We are shocked and grieved

by his sudden departure.

Because of the crucial nature

of the vacant post

- and the present circumstances of the city...

- Do it.

...l, as Mayor, believe it necessary to appoint

an acting chief of police without delay.

Do it, David.

Therefore, I...

I am naming an interim successor...

Let me introduce

our Acting Chief of Police...

Commander...

John Forrester.

Thank you, Ms Mayor. I'm truly honored.

The other night I said

this city needed a new order.

Well, now the Mayor, in her wisdom,

has given me a chance to provide it.

And I thank her.

I give the people of this city my word,

I will begin a new order.

A new war against crime in our city.

I'm going to begin

by giving the streets back to the people...

- So you passed the big test, huh?

- Out of my way.

He said he'd get you to do it,

but I didn't believe it. He's good.

Forrester's good.

Have you ever scanned Forrester?

Better than a splatter film.

You know how his new order works?

They use scanners to control the society.

- You're crazy.

- Maybe I am, but doesn't mean I'm wrong.

You don't believe me? Check out

the scanners in Morse's basement.

Cos if you don't work out for them, baby,

that's your next address.

Aren't you going to tell me

what's the matter?

Forrester's the new Chief of Police.

I made it happen.

Drak's a psycho case.

I know so much of it could be true,

but... I have to find out...

cos if there is something else going on...

How are you going to know?

I have to go over to the institute.

See for myself.

You don't know what

you could be walking into.

I can protect myself.
