The Hidden II is the 1993 direct-to-video sequel to the 1987 film The Hidden.
The alien criminal from the first movie is dead, but he left a few eggs which are hatching now. It is explained that on the alien's homeworld, evolution took two parallel paths: half of their race became violent criminals who live only for pleasure (the squid-like alien form briefly glimpsed in the first film), and the other half evolved beyond their base desires and even physical bodies, becoming creatures of pure energy. The good alien (Lloyd Gallagher), who still inhabits Tom Beck’s body, has been waiting just in case this happened. Unfortunately, his presence in the body has taken a terrible toll on it, draining it of life energy. Additionally relations with Beck’s daughter Juliet (Kate Hodge), now a cop herself, have deteriorated (possibly due to his bizarre behavior caused by the alien inhabiting his body). But when the killing starts again, both will need to work together - and with a new alien policeman (Raphael Sbarge), who comes to Earth to aid in the struggle - to stop the new generation of aliens.

Jack DeVries (Chris Mulkey), a quiet citizen with no criminal past, robs a Los Angeles Wells Fargo bank, kills all of the security guards inside, and leads the Los Angeles Police Department on a high-speed chase. The chase ends when DeVries encounters a police blockade overseen by detective Thomas Beck (Michael Nouri).

Cliff Willis (Ed O'Ross) that DeVries is not expected to survive the night.
It’s an uphill battle because
Every day’s getting better and better
Whether or not
The only news we need is the weather
And I will keep up my head because
I’m starting to see everything better
All the stairs in my way
Helps me realize it’s now or never
Now that’s it’s still not believing
So this is what we all have been expecting
All the answers will fall from the ceiling
Repetition’s covering our backs
Until it’s torn second to forever*
So this is what we all have been expecting
Iodine never surrender*
Repetition’s covering…
And it’s an uphill battle because
Every day gets a little bit longer
I’ll stay focused and
With time I’ll get a little stronger
I’ll take any opportunity
To take note of all that surrounds me
I’ll sit down and listen to pineapples
This time, I’ll take your hand in mind
This time, I know that will be fine
