Abstract
In a deleted scene, Rick Deckard visits Dave Holden, being kept alive in a life-support pod after his ill-fated interview of Leon, in order to pick up some clues that might help him to track down the replicants. His fellow blade runner’s philosophical perspicacity startles Deckard:

Deckard: What? Who?
Holden: God.
Deckard: God….
‘It’s not an easy thing to meet your maker.’
