for your support and enjoy m h. I'm stumbling down an alleyway. There's
trash everywhere. I've got my hand against the wall. My other hand is
holding a wound on my chest. I can see people walking by in the
street over there. I gotta get through. I gotta get through this alley.
I continue down it and get at about to the sidewalk where it starts,
and I slump against the wall. Eh. I don't know what to
do. I look around. There's a lot of pleasure models on the street.
I'm looking at them in the eye, trying to catch one. I
know how I'm gonna look distressed in pain, but I need one. H
I see one. They're making eyes curious. I think it's concerned. Please
walk over, please, well hello, friend, Ahi, listen, I
don't know where to start. I don't know where to start. I need
help. Ain't help. Hey, No hospitals, Okay, I know you
guys have these You've got these places for you guys when you eh, I
need help, just leave him alone. Come on, we don't want to
get involved. Well I was designed to make people feel better. Just not
quite like this. Okay, but fucking alter your programming. Come on,
I need help. It does look very hurt. We don't want the trouble.
I won't I won't be trouble. Just just please, if you look
like you're in trouble, I am. Come on, what's your deal?
I got stabbed. If you want the old fucking story, I'll tell you.
But just take me somewhere, please. I gotta get off the street.
I don't know. I'm kind of curious. Fine, fine here,
just okay, put your arm over. Come on, is it far?
Is it far? Where do you usually go when you're I don't know,
malfunctioning? I go to the hospital. I can't do that. I know
you guys have those backstreet fix it whatever's okay? I just just need some
drugs. I need to patch up. Please, wherever's closest, okay,
I mean how I mean? Do you do you want to go to the
hospital or no? No, no, no, Just just take me to
the back room of somewhere. Okay. I just need something. Just fucking
give me some alcohol, give me a piece of threat. Fuck, he's
definitely bleeding. That's pretty hard to fake that. Fine, this is the
last thing we need, all right. I'm gonna be trouble. I'm not
gonna be trouble. I just just help me out. Okay, there's somebody
that helps the neighborhood out. We can take you there. Okay, okay,
okay, let's go. What's your name? Bert? Yours Lucas,
you can call me Blythe. I look at Blythe. It's nice to meet
you. I think it's nice to meet you. Yeah, all right,
come on, I think let's go. I think we continue down me trying
to walk as best as I can as they take me. Wherever they're taking
me, And where do you take him? There's like a a pretty well
known street doc on this in this neighborhood usually takes care of people with minor
injuries and things. I would imagine that they are fairly well known, and
I assume it is definitely illegal for them to operate. They probably don't have
any sort of medical license or anything. Maybe they used to be like a
veterinarian before business dried up. Okay, I think I think you see Rosetta
actually potentially or yeah, I think Rosetta is here. She's not always here,
but she's here right now. So red hair, green coat, and
she notices the two of you and that you're bringing somebody new and maybe just
watches what happens here. So somebody let's roll medical to see how well Bert
gets taken care of here. Yeah, not I, not you. It's
gonna be either. I don't want to say your character's names yet. It's
gonna be one of the two of you, not not Bert. We've both
said our names. Oh oh okay, okay, okay, then yeah,
it's gonna be It's gonna be either Blithe or Lucas. All right. I
was trying to fix some Probably not the best role for me, all right,
but I can do it if if you want Blithe what about you?
Designed to help people feel better? But not like that? Okay, I
guess I'll do it, all right, good luck? Oh, success of
those listening. Hey Rosie, Rosie, Yeah, we got a we got
someone that needs to see you. Yeah, okay, I see that,
all right, bring him in the back. Okay, okay, who is
this? What happened? I don't know? He was asking for help.
It looks like he's got hurt pretty bad. I'll tell you, I'll tell
you. I just I need to sit down. Let's just get them back.
Okay, who are you? Sit down? I sit down heavily,
and I pull down and I'm like, right there, and there's this gash
that is it's very clearly a stab wound. The knife is no longer there,
and it is it's pouring blood. It is not pumping, okay,
but it is. It's flowing. Ah, I'm Bert, Bert, what
happened? Bert? Immediately going to begin working on your hair? Hold on,
I do have a character sheet for Rosa. Sure, Uh what happened
to you? I got into a a little bit of a fight. Uh,
and they had a knife and they stabbed me. Ah. And then,
almost like a second thought, for whatever reason, I go, I'm
a I'm a blade runner. Oh I'm no, I'm no, I'm no
threat, I'm no problem. I'm not I'm not I'm not. I'm not.
Okay, I'm you see me visibly habitate Uh huh, yeah, me
too. I think I immediately I cannot stop myself. I stopped working on
you, and I glance immediately at blithe and Lucas like, what the oh
my place, I know, but very firm hand, A gentle, but
very very firm hand on Burt's shoulder, felt the injured one, the other
one. I'm no threat, I'm not even I'm not even going to I
was a blade runner. I was a blade runner. Okay, you can't
change your story. Now, what do you mean you were? Because I
was? I was. It's hard, it doesn't. It doesn't make a
lot of sense. No, No, it doesn't. Yah. You need
to explain exactly what's going on right now. I I discovered, I figured,
I found something. I found something. Look, we don't want to
be involved in anything that's going on here. Everybody's fucking involved. Okay,
you don't understand, you don't any make us understand. Explain it. I'm
I'm I'm not. I'm I'm I'm I'm and I look I look through at
each one of them, like slowly, I'm I'm not, I'm not,
I'm not human. I am human. I think I know. I think
I'm a replicant. I think I don't. It doesn't make a lot of
sentints. You have to understand. I I can't get the Please patch me
up. I'm fucking I'm out of my mind. I'm getting worse. I
get the thing, the tool out of my bag, get the checker out
of my back, hold him down. I get down on the cap.
M h. I come back over with a tool and I help, I
help secure. I'm going to hold hold him down by my shoulders. I
am going to what what model do you think you are? It's not it's
not like that. It's not like that at all. What do you mean
it's not like that. I don't know. I don't know. I don't
understand why or how. Okay, I don't know. I have I have
memories, I have a life. I had a life, sings. He's
got to be malfunctioning or something. I don't know what. Check him for
a batch. Check him for a batch. He might not even actually be
a blade runner. No, listen, just I I try to sit up
because I'm getting like super frustrated. I try to say, I immediately grab
you and slam you back down to the table with like a lot of a
lot of listen. I am. I think I am an experiment. I
think I think Tyrrel is trying to do something. I think I'm a replican.
I think this man is going to break your arm unless you stop him.
Lucas, do it? I go, no, no, don't,
don't towards his arm. No, if you're a replicant, you can stop
him. I'm going to start to put pressure on the arm. I push
him off with all my might can day, Okay, I don't want to
hurt anybody. Please I already, I just please, just just fucking just
stitch me up. But fucking way, okay, I had his arm locked.
What is this and can't be an N six? Then what do you
mean they're experimenting on you, Rosie? He's broken. I think you should
fix him first, and then we can ask him questions. Yes, yes,
he's less likely to answer if we fix him though. I get out
my medical supplies. I'm I am rinsing my hands and I am beginning to
work on you. Breathe out really heavy, I go, okay, it
was maybe it must have been a month now. I was telling a story.
Somebody at work had asked me about my past, okay, and I
was telling a story. A little bit later, someone came in. I
guess they heard parts of it. They were in a happy mood of jovial.
They were laughing, and they asked me again some of the bits and
pieces. It's a funny story. I started it. I don't know how
to explain it. They were memories, it was my memory, but it
felt like or recording. I can't explain. I don't know how you.
I can't put that into words. But it was like planning a seed.
And I don't I don't know what it is you're trying to say. Here,
just listen, just listen. It was like planning a seed. I
started digging into my own pest. At first, I had everything. I
had pictures, I had documents. I had so much, but it was
superficial. I couldn't find newspapers. I couldn't. I couldn't find information that
would stick. This was stuff that I had, but it didn't. It
was like I didn't exist, and then I did. I had no idea
what the fuck that was supposed to mean? What does anyone do with that?
Would you do when you find out that you didn't exist and now you
do and you have a lifetime of memories? Okay? The more I thought
about my memories, the more faces didn't make sense. Faces wouldn't be exactly
the same. If I really thought about it, if I really thought about
it, I believe it. What we all go through this, not all
of us, but the newer models like you must be do why and I
hear are free? Okay, okay, we're an older model. A yeah,
so I uh started digging. There's you know, there's nothing out there
about models, no about models not being aware like this. You know,
there's there's this idea that the memories can be in there. But you're gonna
you're gonna know, right, You're gonna know. Yes, of course we
are made knowing what we are. I don't think I was well clearly not
crazy. Why why why would anybody do that? That? That was my
thought? Why would anyone do that? So who had the ability? Who
would have the ability? Well, the only one that's able to make and
making replicans of right now is Tyrell Okay, so looking you think, let
me just get this straight. You think that Tyrelle has secretly made you and
and then what just unleashed you into the world so that you could No.
I was focused. I I I went at this. I hate you.
I hate replicants. I hate you so much. I have memories, I
have feelings, I hate you. I hate you right now, and I'm
sorry. This is some kind of scam. It's why would Tyrell want to
you to hate their own creation. I don't know. I don't I don't
know what they were going for. It's it's gotta be a test. I
don't know. For the documents that I have in the LAPD. It can't
just be Tyrell. Did you choose to be a blade Runner? Did you
choose anything? No, I couldn't have. I mean, it was all
chosen for you. I mean it feels like I did. Yes, But
it doesn't make sense. It just doesn't make sense, not unless it's not
unless it's this okay kind of tyrrel. I don't know why. Okay,
I've I've and I I reach into my pocket and I pull out it's a
list of a few names, a few initials. I've been able to find
almost nothing. It is, it's like nothing connected to nothing. But because
there's nothing there, it leaves a gap. Do you understand, No,
I I found me, you found you. I found me. I'm not
the first me. Listen, we all or your model goes through this a
lot. I've this is not the first time I've seen this. You are
you. Everyone is an individual and what you're feeling right now is complicated,
but we can work through it. Now, you you. I found the
other. The other worked. I found the other. He had a job.
Called him Jesse, it's my middle name. I found Jesse Wyndham.
I found that. Just please listen. I found there was a Jesse Windham.
Almost everything had been cleared, but I found documents. He was a
blade runner. He worked somewhere south of la He had gone through something,
and I'm not one hundred percent sure of what, but he had a break.
I think somewhere between his break and now I was mate. I think,
I don't know. It's so hard, it's so hard to piece it
all together. It sounds fucking insane, and I know that, yeah it
does. Would you give us a second? I rolled it two for those
listening, so it is critical double at doing a good job patching you up.
But I'm gonna say I give you half payments. I don't want you
out of it, and I know that's nasty of me to do, but
I really want you to be talking to us. So I give you just
enough to take the edge off, but I want you still with us.
And then I actually don't leave the room. I just pull you guys over
the side and I do that really annoying thing of we're going to talk about
him right in front of him. What do you make of that madness?
Right? I just know that I don't want any part of this. If
it's got anything to do with blade Runners, that's just going to bring us
a whole lot of trouble. I think he's special, special, Hell,
he's different. I've never met another Replicant that talks like this or thinks like
this. It's just the newer model b live. There are a lot more
human How do we know that this guy isn't well, just just a blade
Runner and he's here to exposed things? Yeah, that's my thought. I
think you think he asked somebody to stab him. I don't know. I
mean he could have. They're pretty desperate to find the replicant underground, which
we have no ties to. By the way, I don't care. So
he just, you know, goes to a highly rep populated area of the
city and collapses, hoping somebody would find him and take pity on him.
I guess, or believe his crazy story. Go get the id tool out
of the other room. Well, check. You're not gonna find all newer
models have that. I know. I checked search. I searched through his
jacket looking for good idea, and for and for and for anything else.
You find. You find my gun, which I let you take. You
do find a badge I d which I also let you take, and then
I hand you the list with it's it looks like nonsense. It is initials.
It is the name of a couple different streets. It's the name of
the Tyrel building with some time periods, and that's it. It wouldn't make
a lot of sense, but I hand it to you as well, like
just fucking You're gonna have everything, okay, I don't. I don't care.
I don't care. That's it. Careful with it. It's the only
one we've got. Check him. We're gonna check your eye. I pull
it down anything. I don't see anything. I know. I know it
sounds like bullshit. I do, okay, And you don't have to believe
me. It's fine. You've stitched me up if oh, illegally. So
we're just gonna let you walk out of here with your badge a blade runner.
Come on now, I'll stay here, okay, Okay, listen,
fine, tell me what would you do? Please play yourself in my situation.
Okay, that's rim from a blade runner. I addressed the other two.
I don't know. I don't like it either. We have to get
rid of him. We've we've already taken him in here. If if he
goes back to the l A PD, we're all screwed. This place is
screwed, then then don't yeah, fucking just give me a place to heal.
Okay, lock me up, just as long as I can have some
fucking water and bread. I don't give a shit. Okay, if he
is telling the truth, that would be insane. That would mean that that
would mean they're trying to do something. What if they're trying to get rid
of all previous models and then roll out something new. I mean, why
would Tyrell want a replicant in the LAPD. That doesn't make any sense.
Spies. Maybe I don't know how much I've been monitored, you know.
I mean, if I'm right, if I'm an experiment, If I'm an
experiment, then you know, was my apartment was it bugged? Was my
desk bugged? You know? Were their cameras And I didn't I avoided every
fucking camera to this street. I mean they even know I was walking down
an alley. I say we take him back. We take him back now,
when we lock him away for a week. If nobody's come looking for
him after a week, we put it to a vote. I don't know
what else to do, unless you want to kill him. There's no other
option. Well, if he is fixed, if he is a caste,
where were you go next? I don't know, there's no sorry, Lucas,
No, he's a cop. I mean we're going to be in all
kinds of trouble if we do anything to him. I mean, if he's
a cop and we don't do something to him, what he goes back and
reveals you and Blithe and me and this location, I don't know. Our
only option is to dispose of him and make it look like some accident in
an alleyway, except that I've already patched him up. I could rip the
stitches out and let him bleed to death in the alleyway. His plan just
didn't work. He didn't get to one of us in time. But if
he is telling the truth, if there is any chance that he's telling the
truth, he's a better asset to us alive, then said Rosie. I'm
I'm not no no brain or nothing. I add, there's okay, there's
shut up. I'm not talking to you yet. You let me wanta you
want to hear this. There's something coming down the pipe. I don't know
what it is exactly. Oh of course you would say that. Now just
listen, Okay, you know what. Fuck it. You can kill me,
you can rip my stitches out, but just fucking listen. Okay,
there's something coming. It's about replicans. It's gonna be disastrous. It's gonna
be murderous. I don't know what or how. I just only know what
I found. I point at the piece of paper. There's a list of
names. There's a few streets. Okay, there's on those streets there are
ah there's a diner on one. Ah, there's a uh some antique store
on the other that sells old radios. Think they're meeting places, Okay,
I don't know for what. I don't know why. But there's so many
moving parts. Okay, and I heard, what does this have to do
with us. They're pushing, they're pushing for something. They're gonna kill so
many Replicans they're gonna do and kill so many people that sympathize. I don't
know how long can do it. I I don't know the government, the
corporations. I don't know. I don't know. Huh. Okay, I
lean closer to the two of you. That does match something someone said about
something political coming. I say we take him back. We have to take
him back and put it to a group vote. But if he is right,
it's not worth the rest. Okay, I can look after him,
that's all right. Yeah, we'll take this. We'll take the secret uh
entrance into the tunnels. You go, I'll wrap up here. You can
blindfolm. I don't like this, so I don't like at all my ears.
I can change clothes. I don't care. You shut the fuck up,
blind, shut the bag up. Yeah, because I I don't see
another way. I don't see another way. We let him go, and
we're all burned anyway. If he is a cop, we're burned. If
we kill him, we risk getting caught. At least this buys us some
time to think. Okay, okay, okay, go out the back way.
I'll finish up here. You got a garbage bag or something? Yeah
here? Yeah, good luck you You said you hate our kind? Yeah,
and you think you're one of us? Yeah? Do you hate yourself?
Yeah? Yeah? Okay, I'm gonna just throw the garbage bag over
over his head and roughly drag you to your feet. Come on, live
mm, be very careful, make sure you're not followed. Make sure he
doesn't have anything else on him before you take him. Okay, check for
bugs. Just get him out of here in case somebody else shows up.
I'll make sure bug free. Be careful. Uh wait, just the man
I was looking for? Okay, officer, what can I do for you
today? You're a hard man to find. That's my design all this,
of course, of course. Well the today's your lucky day? Oh good,
I play three mm hmm. Now today's day I wave a charge off
you. Oh mm hmmm, which one? Hope it's a good one.
You're tell me? Have you seen this person before? I turned them a
little poster, A drawing of of my target. Maybe I see him?
Why are you looking for him? Well if you haven't seen him, well,
if you have seen him, then he'd be aiding and a betting,
a rogue replicant. Oh here, no, no, I see lots of
people. You can't. You can't throw me betting, abling, whatever it
is. You cannot throw this at me. This America still so far I
check it, sure is, and I'm trying to keep it the way that
you so love that. Okay, okay, okay, okay, maybe I
see him? What happened? What happened? Did I tell you I see
him? I see him? Okay? All right? So you have seen
him then? Okay, yeah, you say I have I have Okay.
Well, it's now become an official thing, hasn't it now? No,
you say I see him, I say I see him. All right,
we will have you. I don't see correlation here. Well, you might
be seeing the four corners of a cell very soon if you don't tell me
what you know. Okay, okay, No need to get with the eyebrows
in the face. Okay. What do you want to know? Like?
Where do you hang out? If he come to me for treatment or anything?
When last you seen him? Oh? I don't know when would be
the last I see him? I'm sorry, I'm asking my god here.
That's a good question. Why don't we ask your actual god, which is
the person playing the character that you would have seen? Okay? Bert are
you here? Oh? Yeah, When do you think is the last time
that this see? I saw you. It's been a couple weeks, maybe
two or three at a max. He would have come to you because of
the amount of people that you interact with. A lot of corporate types do
like to use the drugs that you peddle, and that's why he saw you.
Do you think do you think you said anything weird to him while you
were trying to investigate this Tyrrell conspiracy of yours. I think that he would
have recognized that my demeanor towards him was a lot different than it usually is.
You would have recognized that, as before, Bert is an imposing character,
really doesn't there's no niceties there when he's talked to you. But he
looked like he was needing your help and he was almost reaching for empathy from
you as he was trying to get information, and it just didn't feel right.
What was he trying to get out of me? He was trying to
find the names some Tyrrell personnel that you sell to You have told him about
some in Tyrrel that you've sold before, but he was looking for specific names.
Okay, did he say the names or no, I'll leave that up
to you. Okay, Yes, I see him. I see him like
a two or three weeks ago. He looked like he looked like bad,
like he needed like a friend or something like that. And I say,
you treat me like this so many times, like bad. You think I'm
friend to you. I'm not. I'm I'm I'm associate like business. But
he's sweaty, looking like like he's running from something. And he asked me
about tyrrelle like like I don't know anything about Tyrrell. I tell him that
as many as much as I tell you. I mean, maybe I maybe
I procure things for people. Maybe I do that. No one's saying I
do. And I speak directly into your chest. No one's saying I do
that. But maybe I've heard people do that, and maybe I have associates
that do that thing. And I know things because I'm a very worthy social
person. I know people. And he gave me some names. I don't
remember names. I think one had a T in a V. Maybe,
but yes, he he seemed like, ah, what's the word for?
It is everybody after you? I think everybody looking at you and everybody after
you. What's a word for that wanted, which he is wanted, but
like they might not be there. It's a term. It's a word,
one word. I don't have time for crossword puzzles of it. Wait,
paranoid. You look paranoid. You looked like everybody after him looking over shoulder,
and I'm like, hey, buddy, listen, I've got stuff make
you not so much, allegedly allegedly and then he I didn't have what he
wanted to help him. But uh, I mean he looked bad. So
there's only like he is he still is he still on force? Hm?
No, oh, that's why you're looking for him. He uh uh,
Benedic Alexander are not? Are not? He's a trader, that is what
I'm trying to say. Yeah, oh, I hate people with no loyalty.
It's terrible. He said before. He was no friend of yours.
No, he's a man. Is very mean to me. I like you
much better. I'm so nice to you. Right well, I mean as
nice as cop can be, as you want us to stay nice. Right.
Oh, we don't need reads now, do it? You have stuff
for me? I have stuff for you that's treated like business. You take
stuff off my wrap? Sheeet I point you the direction of things. Well,
we still have this aiding in a betting charge that I have over your
head right now. Ohay, if you just tell me more about this man,
I tell you what you want to know, like why, maybe it
helps I I know why you're looking for him. Then I say, Okay,
if I was that person, i'd go here to find this person.
I told you all you need to know. Now it's your job to help
me. Otherwise, well, let's just say I could be very quickly become
and associated yours. Hold on, maybe we're not understanding each other. What
I'm trying to tell you is if he need book, he goes to the
library. If he needs sex, he goes to sex town. If he
needs drugs, he come to someone I might know. That's what I'm saying,
like, if I know what you want, Oh, you want to
hide? Well, he's hiding from us, now, isn't he. Oh
well, then why didn't you say so? Sorry, I didn't connect the
dots. I didn't see the lines for the dots. Okay. If I
were going to hide, if I was him and I was paranoid, I
would go and find uh oh who would I find a few people but they
take money in cops. I know you guys. You guys always complain about
no money, So say funding is tough this year. Okay, I have
idea. I have place to start. Let's now, don't take this as
proposal, but I think sex Town or whatever it's called. I think that's
a good place to start because they know how to keep secrets, and I
think pleasure models are they're made to be the discreat right now, VID,
You're not looking for a meal ticket to sex Town, now, are you?
Oh? I get a plenty at home. My wife if she's the
sex demon, if you know what I mean, she's not happy with current
profession. You know I used to be a professional doctor, you know that's
right. Did I make one stupid mistake? I'd make one dumb mistake,
and now medical license and now I sell things to people, maybe allegedly allegedly.
That's right. We can keep it allegedly if you want, or in
fact, mmmm that pesky deal with your license? Wouldn't that be something too?
To be able to work again? Now you feel you feel right?
Banana there? Now that is something I definitely I might turn in my own
mother if I could be doctor again. That might if you would. You
know, I think it might be teasing me. You do you have this
power? Okay, okay, okay, eyebrows face with it the way I
get it. Okay, Well I have place to start. Do we start
now? Can I have lunch? I just stare at him. Okay,
we start now. It's not a good walk. It's quite a lat long
waist from here. But am I getting in your cruiser, hopefully in the
front seat this time? Who'll see? Ah? We can be friends?
Why you be so like? Well, we'll see. Okay, you're the
boss. You're the boss. I come with you. I walk in to
my cruiser, I get inside. The front passenger door opens up. Thank
you? Friends like that? See like, I tell you, I like
you much better than scared Defense because he very like he is worse than you.
He had a very bad attitude. I'm a cop, and I show
you how cops do things. We're going much easier to work with. And
your voice is nicer. I think there's silence for a few seconds. Shut
up. Oh, I think the banana got peeled for you. Huh.
Okay, So, and I'm standing in front of a bunch of papers with
against a bolton board of sorts. There's some stream going between them, and
I'm sort of walking through back and forth while pointing out stuff. So there
was one before. Okay, so there was one before. I don't know
how long he was in and I'm not even really sure if there was one
before him, but I do know that he operated for this time period,
and during that time it was business as usual. He did the job,
he retired replicants that got out of hand. Than that, he was just
a normal cop. And then I move over to a different picture. I
took this from his apartment, and then I point at one underneath it,
and this is mine. I mean, you get that, right. I
tried my best here to present to you just how I know it's insane,
but you you see this, m I can't really make heads or tails out
of it. Uh do you? Do? You understand what he's saying?
Life, it's a mystery and a miracle. I guess I don't know,
but I don't have enough information. You were made to do something that you
don't want to do anymore. That's very similar to a lot of the replicants
I've met. Yeah, they're not that different. No, it's just all
these memories they give you, you know, they give They've given me.
You know, I had a partner. I never had a partner, but
I had a partner. In my memories, I can I can see him,
I can see his face. I remember how he laughed, and in
my memory, I remember the choices that he made, the trouble he got
himself into, the reason we were no longer partners. One of the reasons
that I hate replicans because they got him. How do you how do you
take somebody's memories and give them to somebody else? I don't I don't understand.
I don't I don't know. I mean when when I guess when I
was created? I don't know what the process would be. But they like,
so you can you can see, okay, that there are And I've
tried so many times to figure out which morning was it when I woke up
and I was real, do you know what I mean? Like, no,
I don't just follow me. Okay, I know it's insane, But
imagine you were just fucking born, Okay, just like all these replicants.
You know, at some point they're created and then they exist. Okay,
so imagine that that must have happened to me. I mean, there there
was a bert that was made and then I don't know how they do it.
Maybe it's in the process of making, maybe it's after, but they
were able to they get the memories in right, Okay, so we know
that they that's something they can do. But somehow they were able to have
my memories seamlessly up to the point that I went to sleep, and that's
when they put me in a bed and the next morning I woke up.
You see it was I never would have known. But I'm also a detective.
I'm made this way. You were made to solve mysteries. Yeah,
yeah, I'm made to solve mysteries. And well, I guess I'm still
good at it, even if it is well, like every replican has to
do with the fact that they've been made, not born. We all have
an incept date. We all wake up and then have to live. Like
I said, you're not that special. The only question is what do you
do now? I smile fondly at blithe I'm not that special. Mm,
you're kind of special. No, no, no, I think it's okay.
The other way. I I don't know. I want more information,
I want less information. It's okay. Lucas. It doesn't have to make
sense. I don't know what's going on half the time. My head hurts.
Sorry, and I'm sorry that I am a burden. I uh,
I think I know what I want to do. So and I turned back
to this board. There was a Robert Wyndham Jess and there was me.
I can't find if there's anything before that. But I've been sort of off
the rails at work for a little while now. I've been not checking in.
I've been gone, and they must know something happen At this point.
I think I stopped for a second because I haven't told them something. You
know what happens if I disappear? What happens if I'm not around anymore?
How does how does that test continue? How does their program continue to run?
Will they make another? The one that I found didn't look like me,
same memories, but some descriptions were off, dates were wrong. I
need to know who's doing this. I know it's Tyrell, but who the
fuck authorized something as insane as this with my fucking and how are they gonna
do it again? I need to know, Oh, what does it have
to do with us? Nothing? If you don't want I'm not gonna.
I mean, I need help, but I'm not going to I have.
I've not been kind, so of course I would understand. But hold on
you, Shay, you have replicants. You say you haven't been kind?
What does that mean? I've done my job as what does that mean as
a blade runner? Whenever we're tasked with tracking down and retiring killing a replicant.
That's what I did, no hesitation. I didn't know better I do
now. That's why I don't think I'm even going to ask you guys to
help me. You can, and I will tell you exactly what I'm going
to do. Where I'm going to go. I need to figure out how
to get into Tyrrel. I have some stuff, but look, I've got
times for security swapping, okay. I have entrances that have low visibility.
I have schedules for workers. I have passes at least to a certain floor,
and I have some information about where to go, but only a little
I'll give you. I'll give you your answer right now. It's no for
me. No, no, I'm not asking to go in. I just
I need more. This isn't enough. I can't go in. This isn't
enough, Okay, I have some of this stuff. I don't know if
the routines are routine okay, And with everything going on, shit's getting changed
and updated constantly. I'm not asking to go in, but I I need
to be able to get around the city unseen. I need to talk to
some people. I need to listen in on others when I can. I'm
a far cry from you know, breaking into Tyrrell, but I have to
keep going. I have to. Can you imagine wouldn't you do the same
if you found out that you weren't real? And I look at Blithe,
I'm sorry, you are real, but you know where you came from and
you know that's not a lie? And who are if they do this again?
What about that person or the one after that, if there is,
or the one after that? I mean, when does this end? How
many more could they be? Is it just Robert Wyndham? Are there others?
I don't know. I was supposed to be retired at the Blade Winner
that came to found me changed his mind. So I'm alive because a Blade
Winner changed his mind. We don't even know who this is. We don't
know this guy. I know he changed his mind, do we If you
want me to. I will. I will leave. You will not see
me again, you will not hear from me again. I don't know how
long I'll survive here or away, but I gotta try. I've got nothing
else. I have no life, I have no friends, I have no
family. Most of us don't have a past, real or not. You're
a given one that's not real. All of us that come together now we
have to make a future together. I'm willing to help you find out what
yours is. Just point me in the right direction. I appreciate that,
and I'll make you promise, both of you, and not that you have
to do anything too. But I want to ask you to do anything dangerous.
I will not ask you to put yourself in any sort of harm.
The fuck are you talking about? We've already done something dangerous, yes,
but you don't You're not seen. No one knows. I'm dating into Tyrell.
Look how fucky big they are? You know? They have ears,
they have eyes. If I'm slow, if I'm methodical, maybe I'll be
okay. But I just need help getting around to places, okay, and
maybe ways of getting out of those places. But you don't have to be
there with me. I don't. You don't need to be seen. I'm
very good at talking to people. Yes you are, and thank you.
That helps. Look, I'm only good at hidding stuff. Oh that can
help too, i'd saying. Interested in doing this? I look at blis.
Are you sure? Yes, damn it? Thank you. Okay,
Well, there's a couple of different things I need to check. But one
of the first things I need to find out is if there is another me.
I need to find out if they're continuing. That's where we start.
You seem you seem upset. Do you seem like did this meant the he
possibly full around with significant others? Upset? I seem upset to you tell
me that in your line of work, in your present line of work.
Trust that's something that doesn't come too often, now, does it, right?
I mean it doesn't come. You don't trust anyone. It's give me,
I give you, And that's the That's as far as trust goes.
That's why nobody uses real names in this business. And you ever in this
business, find someone you can trust and then one day, well that trust
is broken implicitly uh forever? Well no, not in this life, but
in my doctor life. Yes, you have friends you have colleagues, you
don't expect backstabbing, but happens, happens, lots of backstabbing happens behind your
back. I guess that's what it has to happen. But you know,
like in this business, no trust to nobody, no but this. But
back in my other life, they have friends, they have colleagues, and
they just they do talk about you behind your back. They push you down.
They tell everybody you're better at what you do, and they know it's
because you're better than them. Yes, I know what it's like to be
trusting and be betrayed. Is it how you feel right now? You could
say that, but no, this guy he's ten times worse. No,
I hate this guy to this personal for you it is now. Yeah,
okay, I'm going to ask you a question, and if the answer is
yes, don't say yes. I don't want to know. But if the
answer is no, that's fine. When you see him, find him whatever
are we talking, You're going to take care of him, You're going to
retire him. Yeah, okay, okay, okay, that's what I said.
I don't want to know is just me. I mean, we know
what I do, like I say, like I don't want to say it,
but we know what I do, right, But come on now,
but I know your hands aren't dirty. No, I'm not saying my hands
aren't dirty, but I'm saying, like the people who use my services,
they are grown people. They have made their own decisions. I mean,
it's no different to me than the liquor in a glass or a cigarette in
the mouth. It's just it's a choice, you know, And no one
frowns on that. I don't know why they kill you faster than what I
give you, but like what allegedly allegedly what I give you. But I'm
no killer, you know, So I would like, let's say it,
like maybe chat, maybe I have coffee, a nice PIROGI something, and
talk about it before you go retiring someone that you seem to have known and
probably, if I'm not mistaken, not stepping on toes here, maybe had
love for in the past. Careful, Hey, I call them like I
view them. Well, don't speak on what you don't know on all right,
Oh it's all over your eyebrows. I can see it. This is
love. This is how I look with my sex team in the wife and
look at her with my eyebrows like this. Only people you love make you
do this. See I know like that, I see you have more than
one emotion. Then break real hard. Okay, okay, okay, that
guy said, I don't mean to step on those but I know what love
looks like because I am in love and have been for the past twenty five
bullshit, twenty seven years. Geeter, don't tell I said that they didn't
know. Are we close? This is the sex town, isn't it.
Oh shit, I forgot. We were driving. Yes, we passed it.
Actually it's two streets back. I'm sorry. I tried to be friends.
You said to be friends. You said that. When we got into
the car, you said, well, that's friends, and I'm not.
Okay, that's friends, right, yeah, I said, the one right
there, the one with the purple sign, that's where we want to go.
That's the first stop on journey to Candyland. Okay, I set us
down, I said, the vehicle to park, opened the door. I'm
going to Okay, it'd be better if I go in first. If you
want to come with me, it demand it fine, It makes things harder,
but I go in first. I smooth the path. Then I come
out, get you, bring you in. Okay, let me warn you
now, this year is bigger than the both of us. Fuck me,
yes, I get yes. Silence means bad. I know from the car
okay, good. I walk in, I go out to it's a uh,
it's a plant shop. They say they make flowers and stuff. But
the cupboards or the shelves are pretty sparse, so you no, that's not
probably what they do here. It's like they have a petunia and like some
grass or something. Okay, And I walk in and I say, hey,
it's been a long time. Is uh is Rosetta around? She available?
Yeah? One second? What is your relationship like with Rosetta? Professionally
courteous? Professionally courteous. Have you helped her in the past, done her
favors? Yes, we help each other if needed, like if someone come
and get the product from me, and I think, maybe you need product
from her instead, meaning like care. She has a scientific medical background actually,
so we could also say that they used to be coworkers before you lost
your license. Yeah, that's fine. Tell yes, her lover man is
here. Hey, oh you haven't aged a day? How long has it
been a couple of years? Right? Yeah, you are looking fabulous.
As ever, thank you. I am doing as well as a man with
a real heart can be not good. What can I do for you?
Well? As you know, I sometimes maybe have acquaintances from the badge wearing
populace and sometimes to avoid going to jail where I will be very unhappy,
I have. I have helped him in the past, but never never snitch,
but you know, point them in the right direction. And this man
here has been very nice. He even said, I am not kidding my
hand to God. He said, if I help him with this, and
you know how much this means to me to be doctor, might be able
to do something about my license now, my license to practice. Now.
I don't believe him one hundred percent, but if I got to shoot my
shot, you know what I'm saying. Now, All he's looking for is
the information about former partner in business in the badges or maybe I mean the
way he is met, maybe a partner in the bedroom. I don't know,
but he's very mad about it. So should like he wanted to come
in, would you be willing to talk to it? Sure, I don't
know what I'd be able to tell him. I haven't seen any If you
don't know, you don't. No, it's okay, it's fine. But
I mean, if you point him in the right direction like I, you'll
be doing me favor. I owe you one. Okay, I go get
him, I go get him. Oh okay, you never told me what
you did. You were just there one day and fired the next. What
happened? It's it's it's he said story. You don't want to hear your
sad story. It's such a nice day. Why bring it down? If
you want your license back and you want me to help you, Oh what
did you do? So? Maybe man, I get so used to talking
like this, saying maybe allegedly all this stuff anyways. So maybe I have
wife, and maybe that wife has something wrong with her, and maybe experimental
treatment come through. Maybe I see it, maybe it's not mine. Maybe
I take it, maybe I take it home, and maybe I give it
to my wife, and maybe experimental treatment worked, and maybe it never gets
approved, so I can't get it legally. So I steal it and I
make it. I take it apart and look how it's made, and maybe
I make it myself now, and maybe they don't like it when you steal
experimental billion dollar thing, and maybe you get fired for that, maybe you
avoid prison because you have good record before that, you're a good doctor,
you save many lives. So instead of here you go, nice bonus,
golden parachute whatever. Instead of all that, they just say you're fired,
go away, no jail for though, And that was they wanted me to
thank them. So that's what happened. I give wife treatment. Don't tell
anybody because it wasn't approved ever because there are side effects. Wife knows and
she's she's okay with that. Rather or not have the thing and have shorter
lives, I suppose by a couple of years. Her choice. So yes,
I'm thief. That's why I get fired. I'm thief. But what
happens if you get your license back? Aren't you gonna still make the drug
for your wife? No? I wouldn't do that. Why ask you?
You're just gonna risk losing it all over again. No, don't you see
my even No don't you say? Am I not doing this right? You
are? I'm just trying to understand for my own personal reasons. Why are
you doing something when the outcome seems that it's already determined not in your favor?
Why are you still trying to get your license, trying I'm sorry,
still trying to what get your license back? Be a doctor, help people.
That's all I want my entire life to be doctor, and they take
it away from me like it's nothing. No, I grow up. I
grow up poor in a poor place. Are we still receiving sound? Okay?
Good? Yeah, I don't know. I'm so sorry. I grow
up in a poor place. Okay, not destitute, we made the do
but I grow up in the place very poor, and we know only person
in town making good money living in house with the bathroom. Doctor to all
my life. I tell mom, Mama, I tell Papa I'm going to
be doctor, and I be doctor, and then they take doctor away from
me. Who am I? I'm not? But I'm I'm vitterious. I'm
the corner guy who come you come to and you're like, let's have a
good time, or hey, I want to pass a VK test, I'll
help you. But with doctor, with doctor, I am somebody. I
am back to being me again. I don't know if that makes sense to
you, but it makes sense to me and wife. The pride when I
get my license the first time, the pride in her eyes. Oh,
I have never seen her look at anybody like that ever, So that's why
tell you sad story. Can we go meet guy now? Yeaes sentimen?
Okay, hey, Boddy, she's waiting for you to go in. Do
I go in with you? Or I probably make introduction. It's only courteous.
So let's I'll go this right this way, my follow This is the
lovely Rose, and this is the maybe not equally as lovely, but still
very nice Brett detective Detective. Yes, that's his first name is detective.
I'm kidding. No one laugh, it's a joke. Okay, never mind,
I'll try later, Detective Wind and bdu detective. Now, my friend
here has come to ask you here a few questions. I'm sure you'd be
I'm more than happy to oblige. Of course, of course you would end
six, Now have you seen this person? I reach into my pocket and
I show this image. We do you know? Ah? I haven't?
You haven't? Have you? You wouldn't happen to be lying to me,
now, would you? Don't worry? He does that to everyone. He
says, you're lying and it doesn't matter if you're dealing truth. Well,
for those listening, I failed my manipulation role, So I think he sees
right through me. Well, I take a moment to glance at my old
co worker, and I reflect on what he said about having a purpose,
and I I think I did see him, But he was saying some crazy
things. Crazy, yes, crazy, like what like that he's a replicant
working in the Blade Runner unit. Funny that right? Yeah, it's soff
true, is it? I wonder you're telling me when did you see him
last? About a week ago, he was injured. I helped him,
thinking was lapd and who injured it? I don't know. He didn't say.
Two people found him in the street and brought him in. No,
I don't know who they are. They left immediately after, but he didn't
seem to imply that they had done it to him. They weren't his friends.
It didn't seem that way. No, mhm. But what do I
know, detective? What do you know? And six? That's about it.
I took care of the who's best I could? And then he left?
Hold on, hold on, hold on? What did he just say?
Did I stutter? N six? He's like N six like in yes,
Wow, they had no idea? Huh. I'm sure you'd like to
keep that a little secret, now, wouldn't you would be real shame would
be quite inconvenient sho the wrong people know about your situation, wouldn't it.
Hey, she tried to help you out here. Let's be let's be nice
and help me in that case. She told ago, She told her,
if people take her, they'll take him somewhere else. And they didn't leave
with him. He left alone. There you go, I assume if she
will under the influence, he was saying things that didn't make sense. I
did check for his badge. He had his badge, so I helped him
because he's l a PD. And then he left and I haven't seen him
since. And you're sure I have not seen him since? Do I believe
her? I, for what it's worth, I am actually telling the truth.
I have not seen him since then, specifically for this reason, so
I can roll again to see. But I am telling the truth. So
I don't know if you want to play with that or if if he rolls
insight, yeah, then he can like do whatever you want. Yeah,
do it. I would say, you can have advantage because you properly intimidated
me and I failed my role for manipulation, all right, intimidation or insight
or insight. Yeah, which is all the way on the right. I
think I see that. Okay, don't have to help me out here.
Know how to use the sheet? Oh oh, you just click on the
insight and it'll roll it. However, up at the top of the sheet
there is a section for normal and on the left disadvantage and on the right
is disadvantage. You just want to make sure that advantage is selected before you
hit the insight button. All right, and then you should just be able
to click on insight and then it'll roll for you. Oh wow. Okay,
so that is a one for those listening. A success otherwise. So
I am telling the truth. And these people his friends. I didn't say
they were his friends. They told me they found him in the street,
and they didn't look like his friends. I assume friends would stay. They
didn't know who he was. They seemed shocked to find out he was LAPD
and then they split any idea where two no? And he guesses No.
I turned to Vin a friend, here's future rests on this case. Oh
great, No, No, you throw me under bus like this. Don't
don't put this on her. It's not her. Come on, now I'm
telling you what I know. He was saying crazy shit, that he's some
sort of Tyrell experiment. It didn't make any sense. It didn't make any
sense at all. But of course that's all I know, and I haven't
seen him since. Did you say you know or don't know who they were?
I don't know who brought him in. No, they said they found
him in the street. He was bleeding. He begged them for help.
I'm known around here for being able to patch people up if they're injured,
which I'm sure you all know to what side of what side of street they
operate on in this place. No, they didn't say where they found him,
but I'm assuming you can sometimes look. I don't judge book by covert,
except in sex down. So like, I don't know, maybe two
blocks down, okay, okay, two blocks down. In case you don't
know, you probably do, telliot, But allegedly two blocks down is placed
to find you know, what, what are you're looking for? In pants?
Yes, it's very heavy traffic. He had already lost a lot of
blood. I remember that. And again I thought it was insane that he
was saying that a replicant worked for the l A. P D doesn't make
sense. Scribed describe Okay, this this not even my ballpark. Maybe I
leave him and I pointed to what you're saying, La la, I don't
know anything. This kind of stuff gets people care. Not done yet,
fuck me? Describe them to me. I'm I mean he had gray hair,
broad shoulders. He seemed he seems strangely lucid for somebody that must have
been on drugs or something. The other two, oh, I don't know.
One was short, strong, sharp memory doctor. Don't you yes,
I do. One was short and scrawny, blonde hair, the other.
The other was a redhead like me. Do I believe he let me roll
I could tell my luck. I was like, all right, here we
go. Are you rolling in disadvantage? By the way, I am so.
I didn't mean to, okay, because there's only one dice on that
manipulation, all right, So for those listening, that is a success.
They seemed inconsequential. So I don't remember details more than that. I was
more paying attention to your detective friend and the nonsense he was spewing out of
his mouth. You can make opposing roll to see if you can, yep,
you can do insight to see if you believe it would be normal.
But yes, so I think that's still only one success, so you can
push it if you want. But that means you'd be rerolling that six,
which is a success. Okay, it wouldn't be worth rerolling the six,
that's yeah, because I mean, well, he could roll a twelve,
which means you would get no. So yeah, so it's equal. We're
kind of at a battle of wits here. Yes, then I just stare
at her for a second. It's a nice place you have here, Yes
it is, and you're long. Are we looking at the same place?
This place not so great. They need to decorate there and more product,
nobody. Not really a laughing situation. But although I admire your ability to
find humor in any situation, it is me. I've told you all I
know, detective. What are you getting at? Just making sure that I
know where to find you? Should you have led me astray? I fasten
my hallster and I turn around gat yes, cycle like dogs. I'm sorry.
I didn't not know anything like this would happens. Yes, I know.
No, yes, if I don't see you again, oh my god,
you try to curse me. No, I'm trying to say goodbye.
Oh oh, well, do you need any help? I'll do what I
can if you need help to go away. If that's what we're talking about,
use your chance at your license. I'll be okay. Let me ask
you one question, though, sure? Is everything same? I never take
pleasure model? I have no idea, So like, is everything same with
you Jesus as the other? No? No, no, it's not same.
No, No, I have debate with wife. You have nipples?
I have nipples. I see. I told her. I told her that
was not it. I bet they have nipples. They have to have nipples
because sometimes they show through the shirt. And she said, no, the
the other one belly button because belly button come from court. Yes, I
have a belly button fit. Weird. Why though we're morganic fit, we
have all the parts you have, you still just said you didn't. Though
I asked you you're the same? You said not the same? I mean
we're not the same as in not every single one of us is the same
as the next one. We're different and unique, just like you. Oh
but I'm saying, if someone were to operate on you, would you have
appendix? Yes? Okay, we're just so it's just in here that's different,
and it's different. I don't even know if in here is different.
I don't know, I know, I guess you know, most people without
medical background don't know what go on in there. I get it. Sure,
Okay, I'm sorry too personal, No, not too personal at all.
Okay, okay, if you don't mind, maybe last time we see
each other, you say, can I have hug? We hug it out?
Sure, and I will go over and I will give you a hug.
And yeah, I mean it, though anything you need. You've been
very nice to me and not saying something not everybody takes time to be nice.
I would like it if you leave my jokes more. But that's okay,
I'll work on it. You'd be safe. Don't do anything I wouldn't
do, which is not a lot apparently. Yep, good luck with your
license. And hey, man, if you find anything out about that stuff
he was saying, m h, will you find some way to let me
know that's fucking weird? Fit You have my promise, okay, And I
mean imagine that they got the replicant on the LAPD. I was fucking crazy.
Yeah, I don't understand why. I just hope knowing that doesn't get
me killed. It seems like information that the big guy like me should not
have. Yeah, just allegedly have it right, allegedly. I don't know
anything that went on in here, And for the last fifteen to twenty minutes,
I have no idea. I blacked out. I was drunk on something.
So when your wife asks you if we've got nipples, you have to
say allegedly, oh god, damn it, goddamn it, and I turn
around and I start walking away. Perfect. She's always right, so fucking
beach, she said. I love her, but goddamn, she always has
to be right, and now she'd even though I'm right, I can't be
right the Okay, so I do have some information, but I'm not exactly
sure how to follow up on it. I can't go into the department.
I really can't be seen more secrets. Well, no, it's not a
secret. It's just I'm just curious. If there's another me, you know,
maybe it's not important, Maybe maybe I should just be focusing on tyroll.
I don't know. I don't know. Look, I don't I don't
understand any of this. When you say another me, you mean like,
uh, like some kind of an assembly line, just just in memory,
just ant like personality, maybe some sense of self. I don't know.
I don't think he's gonna look like me. The other one didn't. The
other one, Yeah, the other the Jesse, the Jesse Windham. He
was also a He also had the name Robert. The other one a button.
But I knew what he looked like before I found him, so yeah,
he looked like. It didn't matter. So you think there's another one
looking for you, or there will be. I don't. I didn't think
about that. I don't. I don't know. I just thought there might
be another one. I don't know if they'll be looking for me. M.
I guess you're kind of like brothers then if you have all the same
memories, no, no, no, even brothers, sisters, siblings,
they don't have the same memories. It's not it's not that. No experiences
are different. Even if you're in the same room when something happens, you're
standing or sitting in a different place. It's not the same. How you
how you experience that moment, what you feel, how you go through it.
It's never going to be exactly the same as anyone else. Mm hmm.
That sounds lonely. The Replicans get lonely. I mean, do you
get lonely? I'm not supposed to be lonely, but do you like that's
a good question life. Do you get lonely? Sometimes? Yeah, it's
difficult in the city. Sometimes I like to talk, but not a lot
of people come to find me to talk. Okay, Well, if you
guys don't mind keeping me company for a little bit longer, I could use
that. Why don't we hold on. I go over to the board that
I've created and I start pulling off different aspects of it. Not everything,
but I'm pulling off a lot of it, and I put it in a
little folder. Okay, I think that I'm gonna canvas some places I need
to canvas some places. There's there's the antique store. I need to go
to Tyrell. There's a couple of places I want to go. And I
want to see what are you looking for? I don't know? Faces,
names, dates, more information, ways to squeeze people, ways to find
out. You know, if I can find someone at Tyrell and they have
the right weakness and I can put pressure on that, I can get more
information. I can find a way inside it's just gonna take some time.
So from everything I found and I'm looking at the file, I think I'll
go to the antique shop first. Start there. I'll go with you,
Lucus, are you coming? If you're going, I guess I'll go.
Okay, use those punches, hopefully not. Sorry, it's supposed to be
a joke. You got you got nothing? You say you're trying to,
well, do what exactly? At these places? You canvassing these locations?
I mean, you're just talking to people? Why are you here? Ah?
Being detective? Being a detective is about following a line until you get
to the end, and sometimes the ends cut. Sometimes it's a frayed.
Sometimes it keeps going, and sometimes it splits off. I have different ways
to go. I have some names. I have some names. I tried
to get some dirt on one of these names, and it didn't pan out,
so I have to go a different direction. That's why i've been That's
why I came here. I just didn't pan out the way I wanted.
And but I have to do this. I have no other life to live.
I just need to know. And I don't know if I can really
explain why I need to know, and I can try and say, imagine
that you don't exist, but you're here, and how I don't sleep?
H So see if you find all the answers, will you feel like you
exist? No? I don't think that's uh. I'm I want to punish
those but I don't know if I can or if I should. I only
got what I got. I am only the me that I was made to
be. It's a mystery and I need to find out. I don't know.
Uh. Oh shit, Uh, Rose, just send me a message.
Okay, it's a warning. Uh, cops been by. They're looking
for you. I guess that's not uh unexpected. I mean at this point,
I've been missing for well this week and most of the past two.
So yeah, it's not surprising actually that I am a little surprised whether talking
to her, who was it? Did she say? Uh? Should?
Uh did? Just for clarification, ye did? Did he say his name?
He did actually say his name to Rose? Okay, UH win them.
We gotta go now. I stand up holding the file, but I
don't grab my gun and I leave. I'm i'm I go out whatever door
is there. I pushed past them. Are you trying to leave them?
Behind. No, but I'm not looking behind me either. I'm just I'm
pushing past. So it's really up for them. Fuck God, damn,
can't fuck it? Bye? Are you sure about this? I'm sure this
could be real bad trouble for both of us. You sure you want to
do this? This seems right to me. I think we should try and
uh, I fella? Or do you think it's a bad idea? As
I'm walking through the door. Oh yeah, yeah, this is a real
bad idea. You don't have to be a genius to know that. Well,
you got to say, I told you so. If it doesn't go
well, not if we're dead, well, let's not die then see anything,
bring any bells, whatsoever. I just I know this is where like
I would go. I would let's let's I mean, you'd cup show picture
around you good good as spotting liars. I had imagine see if anybody react,
if they do and you cop them, all right, I cop them?
Well do the cop thing, you know, like if you're done the
bad attention to do what I say. I do these things to you,
you know what cops? Do you do it to me today? Like five
times already right and I'm doing it right now too. I don't know.
Yes, I don't know it. When you do that, it's so weird.
I bet you do that in the bedroom too. It's very intimidating and
sexy at the same time. I don't know whether to be scared to take
off my pants. I walk away. Oh this one, I say,
from behind your back, that one. Do we start with that one?
She knows lots of people, all right, rule observation or connections me or
if you VI can roll connections, you can roll observation very well. I
have two success, says I'm connected. So when you talk to the woman
that you're ready to talk to, she mentions seeing them maybe a block or
two away recently, but you don't see anything with your eyeballs. Detective,
okay, lot, we move on down the way she pointed, be the
way all right, and like she pointed, like two blocks down. And
I'm pretty familiar with this area. So two blocks down is a place where
you find to do the drugs I sell you. It's not the crack house,
but not far cry from that. So I go there and I ask
I'm looking for my friend, and I like my partner here, I slap
him on the chest my partner here, show him picture. This is who
I'm looking for. He owes me money. I'm gonna go with your previous
connections role of major success, and let it carry on to the second person
that you've asked, and they will say the same thing. Oh yeah,
I actually saw them. Yeah, I saw them here somewhere, maybe not
ten fifteen minutes ago. Oh god, the trail is hot. I feel
like I'm in cup show. Let's go. Let's take him in, Dano
tackle and bring him in and put him in Patty wagon. I look around
as if I'm looking for him, but I don't. Oh who said that?
That's my name? I hang, yes, hey, hey, oh
oh hi. Actually it's good. Good you're here. Who you are?
Did you run ahead? Look just sorry? Hell could see you? Yeah,
yeah, look I could use your help. Okay, you have ears,
you have eyes on the ground, You're good at this sort of stuff.
Lets me let me stop you right there. I just want to say
I'm sorry for what and I stepped back. You're a hard man to find,
and you are Sam Harcrow. We're under arrest. I stare at him,
but I ope. I pull the file out that's under my arm.
Don't move your hand. Just wait, I'm not chance, Sam. No
wait, I open up the phone. I don't give the orders and you
see me write something down. Huh so it's consistent. What do you know
about me? M? Who are your friends? I'm asking the questions here,
we'll speak when spoken to. No, I won't. Who am I?
Come on, Sam, we're not friends? Yeah, then get moved.
They're not, they're not. They're following me. I don't fucking know
them. Maybe yesterday, go get the progy. Yeah, you you three
go blthe come on, come on good, I'm good. And I just
turned to I turned to uh Sam when I say, I hope this works
out. Remember what we talked about. Maybe talk about it and don't forget.
I do thing for you, you do things for me. That's right?
Okay? Oh you know what I am. I'll be around. I
am frozen in place, just staring between and I think I'm physically being dragged
back. I'm gonna trying to grab grab blythe by by the by the shirt
of the coat or something and just trying to drag him away change his mind.
And but I don't resist. I let I let Lucas move me back.
What you're thinking, we gotta go. Come on, Okay, I'm
sorry he staying nearby. I'm gonna look back at I had this situation.
I'm over. I'm okay, let's go. Come on, Okay, you
have a lot to answer for. No do I? Yeah? Say then
what's that? Eight years? Sam? Mm hmm? Eight years? Yes?
Yeah to you? Why are you talking like that? You mean like
you? They didn't give you much of a sense of humor, did they.
What are you saying, Sam? I guess they make changes? What
am I saying? I hand the file over? What do you call yourself?
Huh? Detective? What do you like to go by? I take
the file and throw it to the ground. What do you don't talk?
What are you talking about? What do you go by? What do your
friends call you? What do you mean? What do your friends call you?
You? Oh, that's right, we don't have Stewie. What do
your coworkers call you? Should make me sick? Come on? Why are
you playing these games with me? So it's a simple question. What do
they call you? You should know? Sure, so it should be easy
to say. What do they call you? I? What do they call
you? Why are you playing with me? All right? Fine, they
call me Burt. Burt. Yeah, Sam, I don't have time for
this. I'm not Sam. I am not Sam. You sure look like
Sam to me. Yeah, I know, so did mine and he wasn't
Sam either. You have no fucking idea what is going on? And I
get it. I understand, I get it. I've been there, how
how long? How long? How long have you been playing at this sound?
Playing at what I've I've never met you. I don't know you.
I don't know your face, and I'm not Sam. The Sam that I
found, same fucking thing, didn't know me. I knew their face.
What you're saying is not making any sense. Yep, I know. Listen.
Just can I can I get the file? Please? No? Fine,
you get the file. Okay. In there are two pictures. They
look almost exactly the same, except I'm only in one of them. I
need you to look at those pictures because I'm willing to fucking bet it's gonna
feel real familiar. Take a look. They said it'd be crazy. Yeah,
great, I'm crazy. Take a fucking look. Come on, I'm
not running, I'm not leaving. Okay, take a look. With my
gun pointing at him, I look down to the floor to the folder on
the ground. Bend my knees. I he's my left hand. I flick
it open, still looking at him. I loved you as a brother,
Sam, I'm not okay. Look, you can't beat this fucking thick.
Okay, just fucking look at the fucking file. What do you see?
I look down to the file. What do I see? You will see
two different pictures. One has me next to uh, a dog at at
a park. There's another one with a different guy next to a dog at
a park. And there's a very good chance that you have a picture of
you with that dog in that pose at your apartment. Look familiar. What
is the reshoot you see before you took this picture? Sam? Yeah,
I sure did. Why the fuck would I do that? Why would I
do that? What would be my ind goal? Detective? Detective? What
would be my end goal? I don't even know what to fuck with my
head? Why else? Why would I do that? It's not for me
to ask questions. Yes it is your a detective asked questions. Come on,
figure it out. No, okay, fine, let's see. Do
you remember as a child there was a water slide? Oh god, it
was rickety as fucking shit. Do you remember, Yeah, and cutting your
leel. I told you about this before. Yeah, of course you know
about this. Sam. I pull up my leg like I show him the
exact same scar. I shoot him in the chest as he reaches down to
his ankle, because Sam keeps a holster at his ankle. What did I
say? You know, maybe this is just how it's supposed to go.
So that went with my Sam, Well, it doesn't make sense. I
said, don't move. I ain't going anywhere. You're making sure that How
am I supposed to How am I supposed to get through to you? Come
on, say, come on, Bert, How am I supposed to get
am I supposed to get to you? Huh huh ah? Oh? Give
me one good reason? One why why I should let you? Why I
should let you live? Why I shouldn't take you with I don't know you
don't be shoot and I shoot him again? No mm hmm, one of
my I walk up towards him. Are you still standing and you're on the
ground? You know I'm on the ground. I am slumped. The blood
is trickling out. You know what? You remember this when it's your turn?
H You fucking remember this? M hm m and take that. There's
a lot in there near m hm. I know us. I hate you
so much, and I shoot him in the head. H m hm.
I take my radio. It's bash. This is Wyndham. Target has been
neutralized, no casualties. I'll be taking it in soon. God damn it,
Sam fuck I. I pull up his trouser leg. I double check
myself. I'm looking for the hallster, see if the weapon is there.
What do I see? There is no weapon, but the scar is identical.
I I hesitate. I take my weapon. I take it to my
own head eye. I pulled the trigger. This is Pelpeparer director to producer
