[Intense tone]

You're...

me.

I'm not you.

I'm the superior model.

Superior model?

Something wrong, Black Lotus?

You m*rder*d him.

He was in the way.

Soon there'll be new,
obedient replicants.

But before there can be new,

the previous generation
must die.

Mr. Joseph told us
he'd k*lled you.

Pathetic attempt to save
your meaningless life.

I went to the desert.

Saw the bodies.

They were replicants,
weren't they?

You need to come with me.

So you can retire me?

So I can protect you.

Testify to what
you know about Wallace.

We can get the truth out.

I wish I could,
Officer Davis.

But you have your path.
I have mine.

Stop!

[phone ringing]

The Black Lotus escaped.

Police interfered
before I could finish her.

But I'll...
- That won't be necessary.

Withdraw.

Meet me at the old building.

But I can find her.

All misbegotten children
eventually find their way home.

She will return on her own.

We will deal with her then.

Memories are overrated.

If you've lost yours,
