Ray VO:
Edison Guzza, one of the geezers. Been here about as long as Bryant,
but didn't do half the drinking. Bryant, the fish, drank for Edison. Now, with his liver all shot to hell, Deck's doin' it
for him.
Ray: Where's Bryant?
Edison: Visiting Holden.
Bryant asked me to take over for him while he's out.
Ray: How is Holden?
Edison: He's doin' fine
considering. Gaff told me you want this case.
We see Ray quietly nod.
Edison: Well, you can
have it. There's two groups of reps out and about now. Rick's got one, and you have the other. Congrats. I suppose you want
to take a look at Steal's file? It's all in the ESPER. Here's the security codes you'll need to take a look at 'em.
We see Guzza hand Ray a slip of paper. Ray pockets the paper.
Ray: Alright. See ya later.
Ext. Police HQ. Early Morning.
We see Ray walk to his spinner. He goes to the door but then pauses and looks
out at the city. It’s dark and overwhelmed by smog. After a moment we see him gaze up at the sky. We see its ash gray
horizon hinted with a red hue.
Ray V.O.
Ever since the war things haven't been quite the same. Not that it
was much of a surprise. Nothing did well; mass extinctions, radioactive dust, rampant greenhouse effect. Only thing that thrived
is the Off-World immigration companies. Stock holders became millionaires over night. People would pay anything to get off
terra firma... sometimes I... wonder why I'm still here.
We see Ray quickly shake his head, then open the door to his spinner. He hops
in.
Int. Yukon Hotel Room. Morning.
We see Sadik in a small kitchen at the stove. He takes a small carton labeled
Faux Eggs and pours the thin liquid into a frying pan. We hear its’ sizzling. At this we see Lucy, who is laying on
the couch on her stomach, looking through a copy of Sidney’s. On her shoe is the dragonfly jewelry. She opens her eyes
and sits up. She looks over at Sadik concentrating on the eggs. We see Lucy grin and get up and walk into the kitchen. She
sits down at the small table and gives a sleepy smile.
Sadik: Couple more minutes.
Lucy: Okay. Sadik?
Sadik: Yeah?
Lucy: Why did you join CARS?
Sadik moves the eggs off of the burner and turns to Lucy.
Sadik: (meaningful to strained) Because
I believe that slavery is wrong. Because I believe that if it acts like a human, and if it looks like a human, then that's
close enough for me.
We see Lucy look at Sadik. She can tell he's hiding something.
Lucy: Is that it?
Sadik: Yes and no. Did
I ever tell you that I was married?
Lucy: No.
Sadik: She was beautiful...
she was, {voice beginning to waiver} more human than human.
Lucy: What happened?
Sadik: She was taken from
me. She was killed by a Blade Runner.
He finishes nearly choked.
Lucy: Oh.
There's an awful silence in the room then we see Clovis walk in. He doesn't
look sleepy at all, which is complete contrast to the others. Lucy and Sadik look to him. Clovis grins and takes a seat at
the table. Sadik returns to the eggs and places portions of the pans contents onto three plates. Sadik picks up two and places
them before Lucy and Clovis and then returns for his. We see Clovis lightly season his, while Lucy eats them straight up.
Sadik: Gordo and I are
gonna go out and meet up with one of my CARS contacts to try and secure some transportation to Chicago. From there we should
have little trouble getting to New York.
Clovis: Good, I wonder if
he's up yet?
Lucy: We could go down and
find out?
Clovis: Ahhh if he's
asleep... let him sleep. If not, he knows where we are.
Lucy: What are you going to
do today Clovis?
Clovis: I don't know.
Thought I might visit and old friend.
Sadik looks at Clovis. So does Lucy. Her eyes appear blue. Half of him wants
to know who the better half says he doesn't.
Clovis: What about you
Lucy?
Lucy: I'll probably
wind up shopping. Then come back here. Then maybe head over to the Arcade.
Clovis: Hmm Sadik. Well
I better go rouse Gordo. See you guys later.
Lucy: Bye Sadik.
Clovis's mouth is full at the moment so he simply gestures a goodbye with his
fork.
Int. Ray's Apartment. Morning.
We hear Buster Friendly jabbering on quietly from a TV in the background . We
see the light from the TV flashing, illuminating the room in artificial white light. We see Ray seated in front of his ESPER.
We see a glass and a bottle next to him.
Ray: I want to see the files
on Crystal Steal.
ESPER(Flat female voice): Enter
access codes.
Ray: (reading paper)BLZN070885
ESPER: State your designation.
Ray: McCoy, Ray, BR61661
ESPER: Access granted.
We see the screen pop up. Ray begins reading out loud... more like mumbling
under his breath. We are able to catch a few things he says.
Ray: Met up with Izo...
now deceased Replicants came from the moon transit station .... as of yet no connection with second group of Replicants...
escaped from Mars.
We see him sit back take a drink then lean back in.
Ray: Show me all the
evidence collected.
The ESPER complies and we see a long list pop up on the screen. The last one
to be shown is labeled dragonfly jewelry. Being the last, it's highlighted , and this catches Ray's eyes.
Ray: Show me the Dragonfly
Jewelry.
The list disappears and is replaced by a rotating 3D image of the same piece
that Lucy was wearing. We see a flashback to him holding the jewelry. Ray's eyes go narrow in thought.
Ray: Let's have a hard
copy of that.
In a moment the ESPER spits out a heavy piece of paper that has four pictures
on it showing each side of the piece.
Ray: Anything else?
ESPER: Not at the current
time.
We see a screen pop up it reads:
"Files last edited 19th November 2019 19:49:36 Files deleted."
Ray: Who removed the
files?
ESPER: That information
is not available. Requires access code I series.
Ray: Only Bryant and Edison
have that clearance.
We see Ray ponder a moment then quickly finish his drink and stand up. We follow
him as he walks into his kitchen and puts the bottle on the counter, and the glass in the sink. He walks out of the kitchen
and into his small bathroom. We see the light come on and we hear water running. After a short while the water goes off, and
Ray walks out with his shirt off. He then moves to his small bed and plops down. We see him with his eyes closed. The TV is
still on in the background. We see on the screen a man sitting in a chair with a second chair, empty, next to him.
Buster Friendly: Well
wasn't she wonderful!? You can see more of her in her new movie coming out Friday.
We see Rays face. He's snoring slightly.
Ext. Corn Fields. Afternoon.
We see an endlessly rolling field of cut corn. The sky is a dreary red with
dark gray wispy clouds. The planet Mars, which is very close... much closer than the moon is today. We look around and all
of a sudden a dragonfly comes into view. It hovers for a moment. We see a hand come up, and the dragonfly darts off... but
quickly returns, and lands on the hand. We see it close up for a moment, then out of the corner of our POV we see a figure
flash. We pan quickly around to see Lucy. We only see her for a second before she disappears. We swing around again to see
her lying on the ground. We move to her, her eyes are open but she's not moving.
Ext. Thai Café. Morning.
We see Sadik, Gordo and another man sitting inside the café. They're drinking
what appears to be tea. We don't hear them. We only hear street noise. After a short while, we see Gordo excuse himself. We
follow him as he exits the café. As he steps out, he looks around and turns his back to us. He begins walking and is swiftly
consumed by the crowds.
Ext. Ray's Apartment. Morning.
We see Ray walking to his spinner parked on the roof. We see a few other various
models parked there as well. We see that Ray has a cup of coffee in his hand. He opens the door to the spinner and hops in,
putting his coffee in the cup holder situated in the console. Ray hits a sequence of buttons and the spinner starts up...
the door closes. We see the spinner rise up and take off into the congested morning.
Int. Spinner. Morning.
Once again, Ray is not at the controls for the moment.
Ray: Radio on.
We hear the radio crack to life and Buster Friendly booms on in mid-sentence.
Buster Friendly: Well
that's the story so far. We'll be bringing you more details as they happen. But, before I forget! Today's special guest...
only appearing today... is someone who claims to be an Angel who has come to Earth to rid it of all evil! Ho! Ho! Has he got
his work cut out for Him! He'll be on later. Now its time for a weather report.
We see Ray sip his coffee and then crack a small smile.
Ext. Rays Spinner. Morning.
We see Ray's spinner roar off in the direction of the Tyrell pyramids. We see
a gout of flame directly to his right. The spinner banks slightly to the left.
Int. Tyrell Pyramid lobby. Morning.
We see Ray talking to a receptionist.
Ray: I'd like to speak
with Dr. Eldon Tyrell.
Receptionist: I'm afraid
Dr. Tyrell will be Unavailable...
Ray flashes his badge. The receptionist looks unfazed.
Receptionist: Dr. Tyrell
is in a meeting , and will be for the rest of the day. Detective McCoy.
Int. Spinner. Morning.
We see Ray flying away from the Tyrell pyramids. We hear Buster Friendly faintly
in the background. We only catch a few words like “Ho Ho!” and “Special“, and “Mercer”.
Ray V.O.
Tyrell didn't have much for me. He'd already seen Deckard, and I
think that one Blade Runner a day was enough for him. His secretary, however, did give me some files. Ones I could have gotten
out of the ESPER. The God of the reps is a useless one.
We see Ray hit a switch on his Spinners’ control panel, and the ESPER
screen pops up. Buster Friendly ‘s radio program cuts out.
Ray: Give me a list
of the evidence collected by Crystal Steal on Replicant designated Dektora.
We see a read-out listing the items. The last one to be listed was a business
card.
Ray: Let me see the
business card.
A picture of the business card appears on the screen. On it is emblazoned Early's
Q Night Club.
Ray V.O.
I'd been to the Early's club several times, but would never have
suspected that there would be reps there.
We see Ray's spinner fly over us and then dive down into the city.
Ext. Early's Q Night Club. Morning.
We see Ray’s Spinner touch down not far from the club. There are several
neon signs letting everyone know it's Early's Q Night Club. The streets are crowded, even though it’s early. Its just
the beginning of the morning rush. We see Ray walk into the club.
Int. Early's Q Night Club. Morning.
The interior of the club was dead. This apparently is when things got cleaned.
We see a guy sitting at the bar drinking and reading. This is EARLY, he's the club manger. Ray walks up to him.
Ray: Hey Early, how's
things?
We see Ray flash his badge.
Early: Things are good,
what can I do you for officer?
Ray: I want to know
about a girl who used to work for you. Girls name was Dektora. Ring any bells?
Early: Yeah. Cute girl.
Real popular. Her fire act was a hit.
Ray: That all?
Early: Hmm... I didn't
really get a chance to know her. She was a bit odd... if I remember. She had a guy constantly visiting her... Boyfriend, or
something. I don't really know.
Ray: Her boyfriend...
you remember what he looked like?
Early: Yea, kinda‘.
Big guy, clean shaven. Hair like yours but, he was bigger.
Ray: You mentioned she
was a bit odd. What do you mean?
Early: I dunno. Something
about her just seemed off. Maybe it was like... she wasn't quite... Heh, I don't know; oh you gotta see this before we get
the rush. Some of our girls like to practice.
We see a girl no older than 18 begin her routine in the background. We see a
tall guy dressed in red looking at Ray. We see Ray notice him. The man looks away. Ray notice's a piece of jewelry on his
jacket. From where Ray is it might resemble a dragonfly. Ray returns to watching the girl. Once she's done he turns back to
Early. We now get a POV of Gordo watching Ray and Early. We can hear them perfectly.
Ray: Did the guy look kinda
like Him?
Ray gestures discreetly with his head over to the man that was looking at him.
Early: Hmmm, maybe.
I don't think so though.
Ray: Alright. You mind
if I check her dressing room?
Early: Yeah sure just
head on back it's got her name on it.
We see Ray smile politely and walk backstage. He notices the big guy is nowhere
to be found.
Int. Backstage. Day.
We see Ray walk down the hallway bathed in pink neon light. He walks to a door
with a taped on piece of paper that reads “Dektora”. The name is surrounded by a neon star imbedded in the door.
We see Ray open the door. He lets it swing open before walking in. A janitor holding a broom passes him as he steps in.
Int. Dressing Room. Day.
The lights are off until Ray turns them on. The room is small, cramped and full
of articles of clothing and make-up. Ray begins searching the room. He notices a bottle of rubbing alcohol on the dressing
table. He starts opening the drawers of her dresser. He finds a mini CD and a small journal-type book. He thumbs through the
pages. There's writing in it. He pockets this. We see him rummage around some more. There's a small dragonfly statuette on
top of the dresser. Ray gazes at it for a moment. Then continues to search behind some boxes. As he turns back he notices
some writing on the back of the door. It’s hard to read, so he closes it slightly. It reads "Tutto l'Abbandono Ye Di
Sperenza Che Entra in Qui." He looks sidelong at it for a moment. He dismisses it, and now satisfied, he exits the room. We
see him exit Early's through the back.
Ext. Early's Q Club. Day.
As soon as he opens the door he sees the man in red. He doesn't look happy.
He walks up to Ray.
Gordo: What do you think
you're doin in my friends dressing room?
Ray: I'm a Police officer.
You knew her?
Gordo: Yeah, so.
Ray: I'd like to ask
you a few questions if I may?
Ray sees that it is a dragonfly on his chest. His eyes go wide. Gordo's not
having any of it he punches Ray in the gut. Ray doubling over, Gordo then picks him up and tosses him to the other side of
the alley. Ray is stunned, and tries for his gun, but Gordo is on him again. Gordo picks Ray up and slams him against the
wall. Gordo shakes him a bit then viciously backhands him into the side of a dumpster. Ray impacts with a resounding thud.
Gordo, taking his time, walks over to Ray and prepares to mash Ray's head. But, at the last possible second, Ray dodges to
the right. Gordo's fist pierces the dumpster and this gives Ray enough time to bring his gun up and put three bullets into
Gordo's abdomen. We see Gordo backpedal and fall into a mess of garbage bags. Ray manages to sit back up. His eye is beginning
to swell up, and his mouth is bleeding. He's gasping for breath.
Ext. Club Alleyway. Day.
We see a similar Police scene as before. All that is different is the location,
and Edison is there. Gaff and Edison walk up to Ray.
Edison: What's the deal
McCoy? He look at you funny?
Ray: I'm pretty sure
he's one of the escaped rep's. I didn't have time to VK him, as he was busy beating the crap outta me.
Edison: I see. Well...
looks like you two are even. Maybe you should take the rest of the day off... heal up and such. As a matter of fact, here's
an advance on the bounty. Have a drink for me.
We see Edison hand Ray some money. He pockets it. Ray tries to smile but only
manages to wince.
Ray: O.K. See ya tomorrow.
We see Ray limp back to his car and collapse in it. We see him sit for a moment.
Int. Rays Spinner. Day.
We see Ray with his eyes closed and his head leaning back against the seat.
Ray: Call Police Department.
Non-emergency.
We hear the car dialing on the screen we see an appealing receptionist pick
up.
Receptionist: How may
I direct your call?
Ray: I want to talk
to Rick Deckard.
Receptionist: Just a
moment.
We see the receptionists face disappear. It's replaced by supposedly soothing
colors and mood music. We see a close of Rays’ eyes for a instant. Then the receptionist returns.
Receptionist: I'm afraid
Mr. Deckard is no longer associated with the department. I can forward a message to his last known address.
Ray: No. That's fine.
Thank you.
The receptionist disconnects and we see the Vid-Phone logo. Ray looks at the
screen.
Ray: Dial outside number,
555-3275.
We see the numbers flash on the screen. After we hear that distinctive ring
tone, a mans smiling face appears on the screen.
Man: Happy Dog Pet Shop.
How can I help you?
Ray: Do you have any
welsh corgis?
Man: Hmm. I'm not sure?
Let me check.
We see the man turn away from the screen. We hear typing, and then the man returns.
Man: I have one in stock.
Male. Young. Mint.
Ray: What are you asking?
Man: We can set you
up for 10% less than Sidney’s. So, I'd say you could take him home for 2500. If it's necessary, we can put you on a
payment plan. 100 down, 100 a month, with 0 interest for the first year. Do you have an animal to trade?
Ray: No.
Man: That's fine. Would
you like to set an appointment?
Ray thinks a minute.
Ray: Ya know...why don’t
I call you back.
Man: Ok sir, have a
better one.
Ray: You too.
Ray disconnects the line. We, again, see the Vid-Phone logo flash, then the
screen goes blank. Ray closes the door to his spinner, then takes off.
Int. Ray's Apt. Day.
We see a book case with miscellaneous bits and kipple on it. In the middle is
a small urn, and in front of it is a picture of Ray and a dog. We then pan right to see Ray back at the ESPER , with a bottle
and a glass. We see him viewing a DVD he found in Dektoras dressing room. There's several images to chose from. We see previews
of most of them. Ray chooses a photo at random.
Ray: Show me number
15.
We hear the signature beeping and a photo then fills the screen. We see Dektora
sitting at her dressing table, looking at a man whose looking in the mirror. We see his profile. We can see Dektora's in the
middle of laughing. Her mouth is somewhat blurred by the shutter. There's a full length mirror opposite the photographer.
We can see the man in it, but can’t make him out.
Ray: Enhance 34 to 63.
The ESPER complies. We now see a blown up image of the mirror. His face is masked
by the camera, but we can tell that it's the same guy who beat up Ray earlier. We also see Lucy standing just to the left
of Gordo.
RAY: Pull Back
The ESPER complies, and continues until...
Ray: Stop. Track 30
right.
... we see a close up of the mans face.
Ray: Stop. Hard copy,
right there.
Soon enough, the ESPER spits out a Polaroid of the mans profile. Ray studies
it for a moment. Then walks out.
Int. Tyrell Parking Lot. Day.
We see Clovis wiping his hands clean. The rag he's using is nearly soaked with
blood. We see him pick-up an ID card off the body and pin it to his shirt. He walks to an elevator and presses the up button.
The doors open and he enters.
Int. Elevator. Day.
We see Clovis press the key that will take him to the top of the pyramid. The
doors close.
Int. Tyrell Office. Day.
We see Clovis standing at the immense windows watching the sun begin to set.
Tyrell enters, and looks a bit surprised to see someone. But ever the businessman, quickly composes himself, he proceeds to
engage the visitor.
Tyrell: It's a bit early
Mr. Wilson?
We see Clovis turn around to face Tyrell, being careful not to express being
caught off-guard in his eyes, but his body language tells Tyrell that he is both startled and excited about this meeting.
Tyrell: It's not often
I get to see one of my creations a second time. I am curious why are you here? You do know what the penalties are?
Clovis smiles and begins to approach Tyrell. Tyrell's hand is on top of one
of the chairs. We see him grip it a little more firmly.
Clovis: Why did you
give us only four years? Don't give me the bullshit about commerce. I know there's more to it than that.
Tyrell: Clovis, I wish
there was more to it, but you have to realize you are a product. And, as a product, if you never wore out I would put myself
out of business. And I can't have that. The reason you have a four-year life span is simple. It's because I can.
Tyrell finishes slowly. Cold, like an executioner.
Clovis: Just because
you can, doesn't make it right. I know you gave us memories because we were getting out of your control.
Clovis moves in close. His tone makes Tyrell's look pale in comparison.
Clovis: You never had
control of us. And the harder you try to oppress us, the more you're going to see how ‘out of your control’ we
really are. Giving us emotions was a mistake. There will be others. And they may not be as “controlled” as I am.
It's not easy to intimidate a God. But, Clovis has succeeded. Tyrell attempts
a smile. As Clovis exits, we can see Tyrell’s shaken up. He goes to the window just as the sun is eclipsed by a part
of the tower.
Ext Animoid Row. Afternoon.
We see Ray walking down a crowded sidewalk. We hear the sound of the city and
several animal cries. We see Ray walk past a particular window where we see a little puppy up against a window, yapping away.
Ray stops and kneels down. The puppy continues to yap, and stops to lick the window. We see Ray chuckle. At that, the puppy
yaps. Ray smiles. As he stands and walks away the puppy follows as far as he can... Yapping.
Int. Ray's Spinner. Afternoon.
We see Ray in his spinner reading the notebook he found in Decktora's dressing
room.
Ray:(muttering) “Thus
wept the angel voice, & as he wept, terrible blasts of trumpets blew.”
We see Ray's spinner circle and land on top of a small building. We see him
get out.
Ext. Arcade Street. Afternoon.
We see Ray walking down a small section of the city devoted to youth entertainment.
Ray V.O.
I had a tip that Lucy might be around here. I needed a ticket to
get to the reps and she was hockin` them at a discount.
It's like a small version of a theme park. The place is populated by kids mostly.
Few adults have a reason to be there unless they're parents. Ray is looking for someone. He's looking for Lucy. He's spot
her at a machine. She's totally involved in the game. We see Ray come from behind and lean up against the machine. Lucy tries
not to pay too much attention to him. She has more important things on her mind at the moment. Once finished Lucy speaks up.
Lucy: My dad told me
to stay away from you.
Ray: Why's that?
Lucy: You a Blade Runner?
Ray: Who told you that?
Lucy: My dad. He said
you kill people.
Ray: Only those that
have killed... other people.
Lucy: He wants to talk
to you.
Ray: Is this your dad?
Ray holds up the ESPER hard copy.
