-Zhora caught on to what Deckard was doing and attacked him

    -He chases her through the street and guns her down 

-Rachel is on their hit list now too

-Rachel saves Deckard, who was about to be killed by Leon

    -They go back to his apartment

-Sebastian learns that Roy and Pris are replicants

    -Convinced Sebastian to take them to Tyrell

-Roy demands Tyrell to give them a longer life span; he says it is impossible

    -Roy crushes Tyrell's skull and pushes his eyes in with his bare thumbs

-Deckard manages to climb to the rood and jumps over to another building's roof, dangling on

-Roy is scary

-"That's what it is to be a slave" (possible societal theme)

-Roy pulls Deckard up

-Roy's expiration date is coming, his last few moments he tells Deckard of the things he's seen

-The dove is symbolic of the replicant's humanity in some way

-I think the nail meant something too, maybe since Roy's expiration was coming he wanted to feel true human pain

-"It's too bad she won't live; but then again, who does?"

-The rain and darkness of the movie convey darker themes and introduce the theme of the Unknown
