Season 01 Episode 07

Episode Title: "Reality"
Aired on: December 19, 2021.

Elle.

I know it's painful.

No way to avoid it.

You can't keep doing this
to yourself.

You're lucky to still be alive.
They nearly had you.

I heard Grant say
something about...

What's a Blade Runner?

Someone who retires
replicants.

Retire?

This has gone far enough.

Walk away.

No.

Not when there's one
left out there.

His name is Dr. M.

Wait, you know him?

I don't give a damn
who he is.

We had a deal.
You were gonna help me.

I'm not gonna help you
get yourself k*lled.

C'mon.

In here.

Evening.

Officer Alani Davis, LAPD.

Sorry, I don't carry parts
for police vehicles.

Good thing
I'm not here for that.

So you been watching the news?

Not really. Been busy.

Too busy to hear about someone

that goes by the name
Black Lotus?

k*lled three people?

Couple stiffs.
What's that gotta do with me?

When we were looking
for Black Lotus last night,

you got caught up in the sweep.

Detained by mistake.

I accept
the department's apology.

Noticed your name
in the report.

I know who you are.

Officer Joseph.

B-4-63-6-7.

Legend in the Blade Runner
business.

Held the record, right?
What was it, a 100?

200?

How many replicants
did you retire?

Don't know
what you're talking about.

Don't have to pretend
to be modest.

Black Lotus is
some kind of replicant.

You used to be a Blade Runner.
The best.

What does she want?
What are we up against?

I'm just a local junk dealer.

If anything occurs to you,

please give me a call.

Elle.

sh*t.

This the only way it ends.

Not now, son. I'm very busy.

I've been locked
out of my lab.

We're selling off
the Tyrrell assets,

including the replicant program.

The experiment is over.

They're my replicants.

One of your replicants

is responsible
for four murders.

The damn police chief,
for heaven's sake.

When the axe comes down
on this, believe me,

you do not want these
to be seen as your replicants.

You promised me
they would be subservient.

A new era of cheap,
disposable labor,

but that wasn't enough
for you, was it?

Kept trying to make them
more and more human.

You left me no other choice
but to shut it down.

If those murders get traced
back to my company,

so help me...

Calm down, father.

You mustn't strain your heart.

You're making a mistake.

My replicants are flawless.

You'll see.

Dr. Murphy's office.
How may I direct your call?

I'm supposed to deliver
a package to the doctor,

but the address got smudged
in the rain.

Victory and Sepulveda.
You can't miss it.

Leave the package
with the gate guard.

Hmm.

I hope you remember me.

Because I sure as hell
remember you.

Ooh, we do wake up feisty,
don't we?

Hmm...

Now then, let's find out
why you're a deviant.

Goodman,
begin the extraction.

Yes, sir.

Starting now, Dr. M.

These are the memories
I gave her.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Desert is real.

It's an actual experience
of hers.

Well, there must
be something.

Huh...

What is it?

I'm not sure.

There's an...

inconsistency

between the memories I made
and how she remembers them.

An inconsistency?

I'm to report
that the prototype snapped

and went on a k*lling spree

because of an inconsistency?

Look at this.

I deliberately created
an excess of happy memories,

more than the average
human has,

as a cushion

to help the replicants
handle their emotion.

The hope was to prove

replicants could be
fully submissive,

even under an extreme
stress test like the Doll Hunt.

Wait.

That's not mine.

What do you mean, not yours?

I didn't create this.

Then who did?

Doesn't make sense?

Why build a clear memory
of a specific place?

Replicant memories never fade,
so artificial ones need a haze.

This is crystal clear.

There's no point to it.

No associated emotion.

Why even bother?

Can someone do that?

Put in memories
on top of yours?

This is a high level
of memory creation.

It's not easy to do that.

Wait, stop.

What is that?

Is this artificial?

Doesn't look created.

Are you sure?

Whoever has been messing
with her memories

is not so good with his colors.

But this...

Doesn't look artificial.

Get her out.
Quicker to ask her.

Enough.

Hmm.

I think you're more trouble
than you're worth.

Wait, you... you don't need
to do this.

I need a name.

Who was responsible
for the Doll Hunt?

Niander Wallace Senior.

Wallace Corp supplied
the replicants,

organized the Doll Hunt.

He was behind
the entire operation.

Hey!

What he said, is it true?

The Doll Hunt was
Mr. Wallace's idea.

Wallace Corporation
wants to build replicants

that'll obey
their human masters.

They're making more of us?

My memories,
what of me is real?

All of it.

As much as you wanna be.

They're in my head,
but they didn't happen.

They're fake.

Artificial, but not fake.

Your memories were real to you.

We remember what we want to
in the way we want to.

I couldn't give
replicants freedom,

but I could try to give them
a small bit of joy.

And my memory by the pool?

Is real.

I did it.

I made them pay
for what they did.

So why do I feel so...

Niander Wallace Senior.

Wallace Corp supplied
the replicants,

organized the Doll Hunt.

He was behind
the entire operation.
