Blade Runner: Black Lotus (2021) s01e05 Episode Script
Pressure

This little light I've found
Take it in, breathe it out
A little drum that's beating loud
In my chest, I hear the sound
I can feel
Feel you now
I can feel you now
I can feel
I can feel you now
Didn't think anyone would be
riding at this hour.
Where you headed?
Finally getting out of this place.
What's your story?
You're one of the lucky ones.
You had a pretty good fight
last night.
- Huh?
- You were safe inside the cage.
But the cage goes both ways.
We're the lucky ones.
Marlowe.
B-464-64.
Requesting cleanup.
Copy that, Blade Runner.
Police units are en route.
Good work, sir.
Why are my dreams
getting worse?
I just want the memories
to fade away.
What do you think you're doing?
- You said you'd help me.
- I said I'd help you.
Doesn't mean you can
go through my things.
The hunters had guns.
I couldn't fight back.
Now I can.
Get your own.
- One of the skinjobs survived the hunt.
- That's absurd.
Something went wrong.
All I asked was that
you put some heat
on those Replicants.
What were you doing out there?
We didn't go back to
the desert to count the bodies.
Hooper was the last one
left out there.
No one has seen or heard
from him since.
Now Bannister's dead.
It has to be this rogue Replicant.
We have people in place
to take care of problems.
Unless I'm mistaken,
you're one of those people.
I'll take care of it, and
no one will ever hear a word
about our little doll hunt.
Replicants get hungry.
Food, water, air.
You were bioengineered
to be more human than human.
- Can I drink alcohol?
- Of course.
Can I use it to forget?
They gifted you memories
to help cushion your emotions,
but without a real consciousness,
without a soul.
Alcohol won't help you.
Human memories fade over time.
Yours will never fade.
Help me find the other three.
Whatever money and tech
I take from them is yours.
Please.
Fine.
I'll still help you.
But if I were you, I'd walk
away from this whole thing.

Track 30 left. Stop.
Pull out.
Center.
And stop.
Enhance 314 to 18.
Enhance 215 to 17.
Your next target is a cop.
And the blonde might be his wife.
I'll find them.
Yeah.
Got it.
All right.
I just need print-outs
of their faces.
Um, I'm busy at the moment.
You'll have to ask Doc.
Okay.
As I'm sure you're all aware,
before he was a senator,
he was one of us.
His killer is still out there.
I want every available officer.
Mobilize, hunt down,
eliminate Black Lotus.
- Let's go!
- Okay.
Yes, sir.
- Chief?
- What do you want, Davis?
We should be letting our guys
know what they're up against.
If Black Lotus is a Replicant,
then our men
This is not
There is no Replicant.
Do I make myself clear?
- Yes, sir.
- Don't piss me off, Davis,
if you know what's good for you.
Hand over the stuff
you collected on the case,
- understood?
- Yes, sir.
Ah, come on. Pick up.
- Marlowe.
- Don't waste my time, Chief.
I have the entire force
shaking up the city,
looking for the Senator's killer.
- A Replicant?
- No one's being told that.
Don't need to sully
the good Senator's name.
But I have reason to believe
the killer is an associate
of that skinjob
who died in the ring.
Let me just tuck the kids into
bed, and I'll get down there.
Girl. Black Lotus tattoo.
You seen her?
What's your status?
Did you find anything?
No sign of her yet, sir,
but we'll keep looking.
Entire damn force
and jack shit to show for it.
- Is this everything?
- Except for what you wanted cut.
We're dealing with a human.
Get that through your head.
So that gang member
you picked up in Silver Lake
seems Black Lotus warned them
away from some doctor?
Doc Badger.
Ordered surveillance on him
and the surrounding block.
Came back clean.
Well, we're gonna check again.
Apply some pressure.
Maybe find something you missed.
Mark the guy from that
junk shop, Doc Badger.
- Now!
- Yes, sir.
We're in position.
- You need these photos printed?
- Yes, please.
You got it.
It's a piece of cake.
Marlowe, you're late.
What are you doing?
You got a location?
We know where she's hiding.
I've got 40 men in position
ready to plug her full of holes.
Then you don't need me.
Where you goin'?
If you find another skinjob,
give me a call.
What?!
Ah!
Are you in position?
- We're here, Chief.
- Then take her down.
How long do you think
this'll take you?
ESPER printers take their time.
Go, go, go!
- Clear!
- Clear!
Clear.
- Clear.
- Clear.
Freeze!
Hands in the air!
Over here.
That's the last one.
Thanks for the help, Doc.
Whatever you want,
Doc Badger can get.
- Anything?
- Negative, sir. Clean.
Only a man called Joseph.
Damn it!
- No sign of Black Lotus.
Always one step ahead of us.
What?
Chief, it's your wife.
Go ahead.
Patch her through.
Have you found the Replicant?
- Josephine, I'm working.
- And there's my answer.
If that killer is still out there,
I want more protection
at the house.
I can't send any more.
People are already suspicious,
asking too many questions.
We'll find her.
Here I go, all alone
So confused,
a heart without a home
I'm a ghost,
you're the light
I'm not sure
I'll make it out alive.
So if I lose
myself I won't be alone
With you, I'm always home
Oh, I, I, I, I, I
You'll still be by my side
Oh, I, I, I, I, I
You'll still be by my side
So if I lose
myself I won't be alone
With you I'm always home
Yeah, if I lose
myself in the dark tonight
You'll still be by my side
Oh, I, I, I, I, I
You'll still be by my side
Oh, I, I, I, I, I
You'll still be by my side
Oh, I, I, I, I, I
