Sarah brings Rachael back to the Corporation building to meet with Deckard, and he escapes with her.

However, Holden-recovering from his injuries during the fight-later finds the truth: Rachael has been killed by Tyrell agents, and the " Rachael " who escaped with Deckard was actually Sarah.

* Sarah Tyrell: The niece of Eldon Tyrell, Sarah locates and hires Deckard to eliminate the final replicant in order to retain her corporation's hold over the market.

Beginning several months after the events in Blade Runner, Deckard has retired to an isolated shack outside the city, taking the replicant Rachael with him in a Tyrell transport container, which slows down the replicant aging process.

* Rick Deckard: The Tyrell Corporation finally locates him, residing at a cabin in the woods with the frozen Rachael.

The main plot follows Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter who is faced with " retiring " six escaped Nexus-6 brain model androids, the latest and most advanced model, while a secondary plot follows John Isidore, a man of sub-normal intelligence who aids the fugitive androids.

Prior to the story's beginning Rick Deckard owned a real sheep, but it died of tetanus, and he replaced it with an electric one.

Rick Deckard stays in a building on the east-side of the bay with his wife, Iran, who is depressed.

The novel begins with Deckard feeling alienated from his bed-ridden wife, Iran, who misuses her mood organ device, intended to keep the population in even temper, by dialing the depression setting daily.

Later Deckard has a conversation with his neighbor Bill Barbour as they tend to their domesticated animals, Deckard owns a malfunctioning synthetic black-faced Suffolk ewe being unable to afford an organic animal, where he realizes that owning a real animal would give meaning to his life.

Rachael attempts to bribe Deckard with the gift of a real owl but during the conversation he verifies his finding that she was Nexus-Six and that Rosen Industries was just trying to discredit the empathy test.

His moral quandary deepens after working briefly with Phil Resch, who Deckard first believes is an android but then learns is a particularly callous fellow human bounty hunter.

After Deckard confesses his love for Rachael she reveals she has slept with multiple bounty hunters and, with the exception of Phil Resch, was able to dissuade them from retiring their targets.

Because the escaped replicants are the latest Nexus-6 generation Deckard had no experience with them, and wasn't even sure if the Voight-Kampff test would work.

This created a plot hole and speculation among fans as to whether Deckard was the 6th replicant with new memories.

However, according to several interviews with director Ridley Scott, Deckard is indeed a replicant.

In a scene where Deckard talks with Rachael, their eyes both appear to shine in the way indicative of Replicants.

When the game begins, Deckard has already been sent off on his own assignment, and the player will encounter numerous references to his activities, although McCoy and Deckard never actually meet, so as to remain consistent with the film's plot.

* The 1982 film Blade Runner contains an early depiction of smart glass in a scene in which a room is darkened with a smart glass-like shade so Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford, can administer a polygraph-style test to determine whether Rachael, portrayed by Sean Young, is an organic robot known as a replicant.

The first release was in 1993 with Baby Chaos, now known as Deckard, and their Buzz EP.

Some film critics believe Roy saved Deckard's life so that Deckard would continue to live with knowledge of Roy's experience — being about to die.

Deckard then escapes and " retires " some androids there before returning to his own police station.

In Blade Runner ( 1982 ), there is a photo-scanning sequence in which Deckard ( Harrison Ford ) scans a photograph and then electronically pans to and blows up specific portions of the photographic image to find clues for his investigation.

Even without considering the unicorn dream scene inserted in the director's cut, there is other evidence which allows for the possibility of Deckard being a replicant, but do not eliminate the possibility of Deckard being human.

Blade Runner 3: Replicant Night ( 1996 ) is a novel by K. W. Jeter that continues the story of Rick Deckard.

Living on Mars, Deckard is acting as a consultant to a movie crew filming the story of his Blade Runner days.

When Deckard, Batty, and Holden finally clash, Batty's inhuman fighting prowess leads Holden to believe he has been duped all along and that Batty is the sixth replicant ; he shoots him.

It is likewise unclear why Deckard would have left her, or any suspected replicant he retired, in a state from which they could be repaired.

The novel is a day in the life of bounty hunter Rick Deckard, January 3 / 1992, as he tracks down renegade androids who have assumed human identities in a post-apocalyptic world where animals a rare and the human population have largely migrated off-world.

Deckard seldom works in and does not consider himself to be either a peace officer or a full-time bounty hunter, the entire Northern California area is the territory of the district's senior bounty hunter Dave Holden, but accepts the left-over cases that Holden either does not want or have time to pursue.

Deckard is introduced to and interviews Rachael who eventually fails the test by hesitation in reaction to what should be normal human responses.

Deckard is tempted to retire Rachael but instead tells her to return to Rosen Industries.

Deckard brings it home, where his wife discovers that the toad is in fact synthetic.

While Deckard is not glad, he ' prefers ' to know that the toad after-all is artificial.

For example, Roy Batty is dying when he saves Deckard, Maximus dies after killing Commodus and Godfrey of Ibelin kills some enemies after he has been mortally wounded by an arrow.

In addition, the hero is saved from death before attaining his greatest deeds: Deckard is saved by Rachel, Maximus is saved by a slave and Balian is saved by a Muslim enemy.

Pris and Zhora's descriptions were mixed up ( perhaps deliberately ) in the film: Zhora acts as a " basic pleasure model ", attempting to pass off as a stripper, while Pris ( who is dressed like a prostitute ) is capable of acrobatic combat moves which nearly kill Deckard.

In the book, Rick Deckard ( the main character ) is at one point tricked into following an android, who believes himself to be a police officer, to a faked police station.

However, Deckard takes the Voight-Kampff test and it fails to indicate that he is an android.

Paul Sammon, author of Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner, has suggested in interviews that Deckard may be a Nexus-7, a next-generation replicant who possesses no superhuman strength or intelligence, but brain implants that complete the human illusion.

* the scene in which Rachael asks Deckard whether he has passed the Voight-Kampff test himself, and receives no answer.

* the fact that Gaff, who had shown no sympathy for Deckard throughout the film, tells him " You've done a man's job, sir!
