Ending
from The Illustrated Blade Runner 6/82
INTERIOR:
BEDROOM -- DAY
The bedroom is dark. Deckard opens the door. He sees something
on the bed. Motionless. A body? Deckard enters. the CLOCK
TICKS. Deckard goes close. Rachael is on the bed, Completely
motionless. Deckard leans over her, very close, to see if
she's breathing. A long moment. Then the tension goes out
of him. She's alive. He turns away from her with a new urgency.
Rachael stirs, opens her eyes.
DECKARD: Do you love me?
He is looking at her. He has the gun in his hand.
RACHAEL: I love you.
Deckard holsters the gun, pulls open another drawer.
DECKARD: Do you trust me?
Deckard is pulling clothes out of the drawer, stuffing them
hastily into a parachute bag.
RACHAEL: I trust you.
Deckard turns and looks at her, one hand full of clothes,
the other hand holding the parachute bag.
INTERIOR: CORRIDOR -- DAY
The door opens and Deckard and Rachael step out. They are
carrying a couple of overnight cases. Rachael starts towaard
the elevator. Deckard locks the door and turns to follow her.
He spots something on the floor, something small. He reaches
down and picks it up. It's the tiny unicorn made of tinfoil...
Gaff's gauntlet... Deckard looks at it for a moment. We hear
Gaff s voice as if it were in Deckard's mind.
GAFF (VOICE OVER): It's a shame she won't last forever.
But then again no one does.
EXTERIOR: MOVING TREES -- DAY
Birch trees whip past at 160 miles per hour urged on by big,
nasty MUSIC. We have the feeling we are going to see a unicorn.
Instead we see Deckard's car rocketing through the woods.
INTERIOR: DECKARD'S CAR -- DAY
Deckard is at the wheel, Rachael is beside him. Decked smiles
at her. Rachael smiles back tentatively. Deckard glances back
at the road, then at the vid screen. A little blip flashes
on the screen. Decked notices it, his eyes narrow just a little.
He reaches in his pocket, pulls out the unicorn. Deckard puts
the tinfoil unicorn on the dash. A flicker of a smile crosses
his face.
EXTERIOR: WOODS -- DAY
Deckard's car bullets through the woods in a fury of speed
and MUSIC. We BACK OFF IT AND UP, PAST whizzing branches,
OVER the treetops, losing the car as we SOAR over what is
suddenly a vast forest spreading to infinity. Enormous MUSIC!
DECKARD (VOICE OVER): Gaff had been there... and let
her live. Four years, he figured... but he was wrong. Tyrell
had told me Rachael was special. Not only had he given her
memories... but he'd set no termination date. I didn't know
how long we'd have together... but, who does?
CREDITS ROLL.
FADE OUT.
THE END.
