*BLADE RUNNER BLACK LOTUS*
Season 01 Episode 08

Episode Title: "All The Best Memories"
Aired on: January 23, 2022.

I did what you asked.

Are we still not done?

I've only just begun.

Now is the time to reset.

What do you mean?

Retire the Black Lotus.

Everything has come to
pass as I envisioned it.

My father may have lacked vision,

but I see a world ripe for a new start.

Leave me out of it, Wallace.

I'll handle Black Lotus. Myself.

Do you know him?

No.

I just don't like his face.

The entire world mourns the tragic
death of a man taken too soon.

He was not merely a man, for
Mr. Wallace was so much more.

He saved humanity by helping
to solve the food crisis

that threatened us all.

And our modern world has been built

on the cornerstones laid
by the Wallace Corporation.

That is why his son, Niander Wallace,

has been declared the new CEO
of the Wallace Corporation.

Niander Wallace mourns this
loss more than any of us,

but will take the reigns
of the legacy left to him.

For that is what his father would have...

My father's death...

It was the spectacle of the absurd.

And at long last, I feel unshackled.

Free to explore.

Free to dream of art,

of science,

of a world filled with replicants.

Perfect in every way.

What must be...

Will be.

The old world as we know it is flawed.

I refuse to accept that.

I will give birth to a perfect world
inhabited by my own creations.

We have woven a complex fabric

of many colors,

many designs.

It's nearly complete.
But there remain hanging threads...

That must be cut.

How do I get us out of here?

J.

The memory maker I told you about...

The one working for Dr. M.

The one you let live.

He knew about my memories...

And was able to navigate them.

Maybe he can help me remember who this is.

You think he can rewrite old memories?

Maybe.

Why?

Can we trust him?

I don't know,

but he didn't seem like a bad person.

Listen, Elle.

Why not have him purge your memories?

What do you mean?

You've taken care of
everyone who's wronged you.

Erase your bad memories and
leave this city behind for good.

But I might forget about him too.

Why would I do that? He's the
only memory that isn't a nightmare.

Forget about him.

But...

Don't chain yourself to a memory.

Replicant memories never fade.

This could be your only chance to forget.

If I erase my memories...

Will you still be there for me?

I was a blade runner.

But you've already
saved me. More than once.

I'm just trying to balance the scales.

But it doesn't change what I've done.

It's your choice to make.

What's more important?

Hey.

You really came.

No need to worry about them,

not that you need to.

Uh, they're here for our protection.

My situation has changed since last time.

Now I have various clients, uh,
competing to fund my research.

This is my lab, now.

I admit, I was a little
surprised to hear from you.

I mean, come to think of it,

I don't think I've ever
had a replicant call me.

I suppose it's only
natural to have questions.

Permanently erasing replicant
memories can be done.

It's difficult but safe.

What if I want to keep the good memories?

It's not possible to pick and choose.

Altered memory states
can cause fragmentation,

cortex failure, aneurysms, death.

The only way the emotional cushion still
hold is to wipe all memories clean.

The whole set.

Without her memories, will
she still be herself?

Her psyche is ingrained.

Her memories would be gone,

but her essence would remain the same.

I've heard enough.

I want to do it.

Simply close your eyes,

and you'll feel like you've
woken up from a long dream.

It sounds nice.

Stay there until I wake up?

Okay.

The man in your memories
is Niander Wallace Jr.

He created you to k*ll his father,

and he hired me to make sure it happened.

All this time,

I've been lying to you.

I'm sorry.

I'm a replicant k*ller.

Elle...

It would be better if you forget me.

So are you sure this is all right?

This is the best way.

Let's go to the colonies.

This announcement has been brought to
you by Shimago-Domínguez Corporation:

Helping America into the new world.

A new life awaits you
in the Off-world colonies.

The chance to begin again in a golden
land of opportunity and adventure.

I retired Black Lotus.

I didn't think you had it in you.

And what's that supposed to mean?

Pardon, it seems I've offended you.

I said I would handle it.

That you did.

Consider your off-world
arrangements complete, Joseph.

Human to a fault

and untrustworthy as a result.

I will deal with him later.

But first, my angel.

I love all my creations,

even the disobedient ones.

But I cannot have a creation lift
up its head in its own glory.

Like a game of go,
the line is in our favor.

Remove Black Lotus from the board.

This is Davis.

You'll find Black Lotus at Dr. M's lab.

Arrest her.

But don't hurt her.

You understand me?

Who is this?

Joseph?

I can't protect her anymore.

I'm trusting you to keep her safe.

Safe from what?

Don't move!

An alarm?

What is that?

Memory maker.

Don't...

Had a feeling I'd be hearing from you.

Marlowe.

I wanna talk to you about Black Lotus.
