Hello, my name is Denis Villeneuve. I'm the director of Blade Runner 2049.
I decided to ask a couple of artists, that I respect, to create three short stories
that dramatize some key events that occured after 2019, when the first Blade Runner takes place,
but before 2049, when my new Blade Runner story begins.
My friend Luke Scott has directed this short film you're about to see.
I hope you enjoy this special glimpse into the world of Blade Runner 2048.
Just checkin' in on an old serial number.
- Pre-blackout.
That's gonna be tough.
- What?
- Lyla.
- Hi! - How are you?
- I'm good.
- Where's your mom? - Just over there.
So, what you bring me this time? - I have...
- "The Power and the Glory".
- Yes. Very exciting. Make sure you take care of it.
It's about an outlaw priest who's...
who's trying to understand the meaning of being human.
- It's not sad, is it?
- It's one of my favorites, you'll love it.
I'll see you next time.
- Good work, Sapper.
So, 3,000.
- 3,000? That barely covers my nematoads.
- At 3,000 I'm already pushing it.
- Come on, Sultan, you bought my blocks before. Nutrient rich, low impurities, they're the best.
You're not going to get-
- Come on, 4,000.
- If you don't like my offer, you're welcome to try somewhere else.
Always a pleasure dealing with you.
- Please! Just leave us alone!
- Where you going girl, huh? I got a plan for you and your mama!
- Get off of us!
Get off!
- Stay there! - No!
- Stay there!
- Yeah, up around 22B. I think I found a rogue skin-job you might be looking for.
I got the address.
I'll see you later.
