Why did Holden need to VK Leon, if the police already knew what he looked like?
Bryant first tells Deckard that there were six replicants, three male, three female. Obviously, Roy and Leon are two of the males, and Pris and Zhora are two of the females. Bryant also says that “one of them got fried trying to get into the Tyrell building”, but doesn’t specify the sex. That leaves one replicant, either male or female. It has been hypothesized that Deckard was the sixth replicant, but there is ample evidence that this is not the case: Some versions of the script include “Mary” as the sixth replicant, which means that the one that got fried was male, and Deckard can’t be the sixth replicant.
