an experience
to live in fear, isn't it?
That's what it is to be a slave.
I've seen things...
...you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire
off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams...
...glitter in the dark
near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments will be lost...
...in time...
...like tears...
...in the rain.
Time to die.
I don't know why he saved my life.
Maybe in those last moments he loved life
more than he ever had before.
Not just his life,
anybody's life, my life.
All he'd wanted were
the same answers the rest of us want.
Where did I come from?
Where am I going?
How long have I got?
All I could do was sit there
and watch him die.
You've done a man's job, sir.
I guess you're through, huh?
Finished.
It's too bad she won't live.
But then again, who does?
Rachael?
Rachael?
Rachael?
Do you love me?
I love you.
Do you trust me?
I trust you.
Rachael?
It's too bad she won't live.
But then again, who does?
Gaff had been there, and let her live.
Four years, he figured.
He was wrong.
Tyrell had told me Rachael was special:
no termination date.
I didn't know how long we had together,
who does?[Drum crash, eerie music begins]
[Drum crash with cymbals]
[Intermittent explosions roar]
[Shuttle hums]
[Lightning crackles, thunderous explosion]
[Synthesizers play ambient musical score]
[Shuttle hums]

[Rhythmic electronic beeping]
COMPUTER: Next subject, Kowalski, Leon.
Engineer, waste disposal.
Five section, new employee, six days.
HOLDEN: Come in.
[Receptionist in background paging
on intercom, electronic buzzing]
HOLDEN: Sit down.
LEON: Care if I talk?
LEON: I'm kind of nervous
when I take tests.
HOLDEN: Just please don't move.
LEON: Oh, I'm sorry.
[Electronic hissing and beeping]
I already had an IQ test this year.
I don't think I've ever had one of these.
HOLDEN: Reaction time is a factor,
so please, pay attention.
Now answer as quickly as you can.
LEON: Sure.
HOLDEN: 1187 Hunterwasser.
LEON: That's the hotel.
HOLDEN: What?
LEON: Where I live.
Nice place?
Yeah, sure, I guess.
Is that part of the test?
HOLDEN: No. Just warming up. That's all.
LEON: It's not fancy or anything.
HOLDEN: You're in a desert walking along
in the sand when all of a sud...
Is this the test, now?
HOLDEN: Yes. You're in a desert,
walking in the sand...
...when you look down...
- What one?
- What?
What desert?
HOLDEN: Doesn't make a difference
what desert. It's hypothetical.
LEON: But how come I'd be there?
HOLDEN: Maybe you're fed up, maybe
you want to be by yourself. Who knows?
You look down and you see a tortoise.
HOLDEN: It's crawling towards you...
LEON: A tortoise? What's that?
HOLDEN: You know what a turtle is?
LEON: Of course.
Same thing.
LEON: I've never seen a turtle.
[Distorted beeping]
But I understand what you mean.
You reach down and you flip the tortoise
over on its back, Leon.
Do you make up these questions,
Mr. Holden?
LEON: Or do they write them down
for you?
The tortoise lays on its back,
its belly baking in the sun...
...beating its legs, trying to turn itself over,
but it can't.
HOLDEN: [Voice echoes] Not without
your help. But you're not helping.
What do you mean I'm not helping?
HOLDEN: [Voice echoes]
I mean, you're not helping.
Why is that, Leon?
[Simulated sound of heartbeat]
They're just questions, Leon.
In answer to your query,
they're written down for me.
It's a test designed to provoke
an emotional response.
[Heartbeat stops]
Shall we continue?
Describe, in single words, only the good
things that come into your mind...
...about your mother.
LEON: My mother?
HOLDEN: Yeah.
LEON: Let me tell you about my mother.
[Gun blasts]
[Vessel hums, foghorn blows]
LOUDSPEAKER: A new life awaits you
in the Off-world colonies.
The chance to begin again...
...in a golden land of opportunity
and adventure.
