EXT. IIADES - DUSK 1

We are MOVING TOWARD che Tyrell CorporaEion across a

vast plain of industrialization, menacing shapes on the
horizon, stacks belching flarnes five hundred feeE inco
the sky the color of cigar ash. The CAMERA MOVES IliTO
a window in the large pyramid-shaped building. A man
is sitting at a table. Another man enters the room and
sits dovrn. The following scene is reflected in the eye
until HOLDEN is seated.

\J\-',IU Vr\.f..l ivl\ !a INTERROGATION ROOM - DUSK z

The eye is rnagnified and deeply revealed. Flecks of

green and yellow in a field of rnilky blue. Icy fila-
IDenEs surror:nd the undulacing center.
The eye is brown in a ti:ry screen. 0n the metallic
surface be1ow, Ehe u'ords V0IG}{T-h?}PFF are finely
etched. There's a touch-lighc panel across the coP
and on Ehe side of the screen, a dial that regiscers
fluctuation of the iris.
Ttre instrr:nent is no bigger chan a.Eusic box and siEs
on a t,able between Ewo men. The man talking is big,
looks like an overstuffed kid. LEON it says on his
breast pockec. lle's dressed in a warehousestan's uni-
fo::ur and his pudgy hands are folded expectant,ly in his
Iap. Despire the obvious heac, he looks very cool
The man facing him is lean, hollotr-cheeked, and dressed
in grey. Detached and efficienc, he loo1'"s like a cop
or an accolult,ant. liis name is Holden and he's ill
business, except for the sweat on his face.
The roon is large and h'.rsr:-d. B.ows of salvaged junk
are stacked neacly againsc the walls. Two large FANS

noses through the cosneEics, longue flicking, trying
to get back Eo its mistress. Caught up in Ehe sensu-

Deckard works his rvay dor.ni her back, over her birns and
as he reaches her chighs, sics on the coE. Concen-
trating on her buns, he leans back for a handier per-

Partly hidden behind Ehe pillow againsr rhe wall is

ring-tailed Cia'''ondback rattler. Its 1ethal lookine
spaee-shaped head elevaied ouE of its coiled boCy,
cail erect and wirirring madly.
Deckard rolls off the coE going for his blaster as he
hits che floor. SAI0I'C/ZT{0RA has her hand arcund rne

dodging and side-stepping, crying io Eove against the

She cooes to an intersection and turns out of the mall
