The first draft of the script was written by Hampton Fancher in 1978 under the same title as the novel. In this initial script, the story focused less on human issues than it did on environmental issues and larger questions of God and mortality. It refers to replicants as "androids" and makes it clear that Rick Deckard is human. The Voight-Kampff test can spot androids after five or six questions (not the 30 questions required in later drafts); Rachael is detected after 13 questions, not 100. The sixth android, Mary, is present in this draft. Instead of finding Dr. Elden Tyrell at the Tyrell building, Roy Batty goes to Tyrell's mansion, and he kills Tyrell, along with his bodyguard, a maid, and his entire family. He later kills J.F. Sebastian. The androids in this script have no obvious reason to be on Earth. There is nothing about them wanting to live longer, they are simply on Earth killing people for no apparent reason. At the end of the script, Rachael kills herself, as she knows if she doesn't do it, Deckard will have to. The script ends with Deckard wandering into the desert with the intention of dying, but upon seeing a tortoise struggling to turn itself over, he decides to live on. Fancher produced his second major draft on July 24, 1980. Several scenes in this script made it into the final movie - the opening scene is almost identical, as is the briefing scene with Bryant, Deckard searching Leon Kowalski's hotel room, and Deckard using the Voight-Kampff machine on Rachael under the supervision of Tyrell. Differences included a smaller role for Gaff, and a larger role for the E.S.P.E.R., which is a talking computer. The script ends with Deckard bringing Rachael out to the countryside so she can see snow for the first time, and shooting her. The last scene sees him driving back to the city musing about how the ability to choose is what makes us human. This version of the script also included Mary as the sixth replicant (still called androids at this stage). The third major draft of the script was written by David Webb Peoples, dated December 15, 1980. The movie opens in an "off-world termination dump", a dumping ground for dead androids (by now called "replicants"). Two work men are shovelling bodies into a pit, when one of the bodies comes to life (Roy Batty). He pulls Mary and Leon from the pile and they kill the workmen. This version introduced the snake scale storyline, but does not have the chess game featured in the final movie. Other differences include: a new replicant called Roger, who attacks Deckard in Leon's hotel room; a scene where Hannibal Chew's frozen body is discovered and knocked over; in this draft, Tyrell turns out to be another replicant, after Roy kills him, Roy demands that Sebastian take him to the real Tyrell, and Sebastian reveals that Tyrell had an unnamed disease and was placed into a hibernation unit to await a cure. Roy demands that Sebastian wake Tyrell up, but Sebastian reveals that Tyrell died a year ago during a power outage, at which point, Roy kills Sebastian. After Tyrell's death, the entire replicant line is put on hold. There is also a scene where Deckard forces Gaff to take the Voight-Kampff test and subsequently kills him. This draft also ended with Deckard killing Rachael, but the scene now takes place on a beach. The final scene sees Deckard waiting in his apartment for the Police raid due to his murder of Gaff.
