The "Tyrell Corporation" advanced robots to being virtually identical to humans... these "Replicants" were used Off-World as slave labor... after a bloody mutiny the repicants were declared illegal on earth and executed upon trespassing by special police squats. Furthermore they were built with a fail-safe device: a four year life span. Roy (portrait here)comes to Tyrell to ask for a longer life span, while being hunted down by Blade Runner Deckard. But the fail-safe device cannot be revoked. Just before his time is up, Roy decides to save Deckard during a final showdown of kill or be killed. While sitting on the roof top alone with Deckard, those are the replicants final words.
Why did Roy save Deckard?
Maybe because he chose to. Making good choices. That's all that matters in the end.
