When Harrison Meets Rick Instead of Roy. The "tears in the rain" monologue is near the conclusion of Blade Runner, where detective Rick Deckard (played by Harrison Ford) has been ordered to track down and kill the rogue replicant Roy Batty (played by Harrison Ford in his 70s), who is near the end of his fixed four-year lifespan and is now dying. Batty ends up chasing Deckard to the rooftops in the midst of a heavy downpour of rain, where Deckard misses a jump between the rooftops and ends up hanging precariously. Batty ultimately pulls Deckard up to safety despite knowing Deckard would kill him, moments before Batty's own death. Reflecting on his experiences and imminent mortality, Batty says, with dramatic pauses between each statement: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
