Towards the end of the movie, why doesn't Roy not kill Deckard?
How does Brion James (Leon) get a gun as he's getting interrogated?? Don't they frisk them beforehand? Seems a bit unrealistic...

Well, Deckard relates to Roy after Roy's brilliant soliloquy. "I've seen things that you people wouldn't believe.....", and Roy probably, as he is "dying", appreciates life even more and let's Deckard live, and the dove, which symbolizes life.

"Ive 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 Tanhouser Gate. All these moments will be lost....in time, like tears..in rain. Time...to die."

I have to agree with shevi, Roy, knowing after destroying life won't save him, let's Deckard live, but only after delivering the most touching description of things that only he saw as a replicant, because he was a replicant. A real Earth human could have never survived the experience of seeing those things. And Roy knew that, and he convinced Deckard a replicant could experience wonder and feelings beyond humans, and Deckard, no matter what Roy did to him, would never experience the things in "life" "he" did, no matter how long he lived as a human.

i never watch that sorry!

I think Roy knows deckart is a replicant and will allow him to live

The reason Roy doesn't kill Deckard is because he knows that he is about to die and his humanity wins him over. This scene sums up the whole philosophical dilema presented by the movie, does artificial intelligence have a soul.

Leon gets the gun simply because they don't frisk him. Had they frisked him he would have known that they suspected him of being a replicant and because of his awareness of the situation they wouldn't have gotten the un-tampered data needed to prove him being a replicant. This is in return why Leon kills the tester, because he realizes that he is probing whether or not he is a replicant and that mixed with his feelings towards the questions leaves him very angry and confused.

"I've...seen things you people woundn't believe. Attacks ship on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost...in time, like tears..in rain. Time...to die".

Roy knew he was "expiring", and after saving human Deckard, he had to tell him in this brilliant tome, that as a replicant, he saw things that a human never could due to time and speed. And that Deckard should impress future replicant makers not to put time limits on replicants. Deckard finds out they don't on all of them, and RUNNOFTs with Sean, who does not have an expiration date.
