Holden
(in his hospital "bed"), played by Morgan Paull.
"He
can breathe okay, as long as nobody unplugs him."
Our first introduction to both the VK test and also what the Replicants
will do to achieve their goal. The eye at the beginning is supposed
to be Holden's, (although it isn't actually Morgan's eye and the
character couldn't see the cityscape out of those high windows anyway
...)
Holden is the Blade Runner testing new employees at Tyrell's on
the premise that the escaped Reps might try to infiltrate there.
He underestimates the Nexus 6 Replicant. Maybe he was tired from
interviewing a number of new employees before Leon Kowalski turned
up. Perhaps he wasn't expecting to get a result at all. And maybe
he didn't expect the Reps to be armed. And it seems the new Reps
are difficult to detect even with the VK machine.
Holden gets shot. He gets his gun partially out, but is shot again.
Leon leaves him for dead.
There were two hospital scenes with Holden and Deckard, but these
were cut out due to not adding anything to the story, (and perhaps
detracting from it even). Some can be seen in the BR documentary,
which is hoped will be on the 2002/3 Blade Runner Special Edition
DVD. This scene is also available in our downloads section. It is
expected one or perhaps even both scenes will appear in a "deleted
scenes" section on the new DVD. They are unlikely to be reinserted
into the movie itself.
