Purchasing the goat does not alleviate Rick Deckard’s doubt, or his depression. Standing on the roof of his building with his wife at the end of volume 4, Rick realizes that he can’t kill any more androids. But a call from his boss tells him that he has to finish the job tonight. Unable to connect with his wife, Deckard heads out on what he knows will be his last mission, whether or not he manages to kills the three remaining androids.


He calls back Rachael Rosen, the android owned by the Rosen Corporation, and he invites her to San Francisco, to a nice hotel. If she comes, he tells her, he won’t hunt androids tonight. But even after she does and they sleep together, Rick knows he must attempt his mission. He heads out with Rachael towards the last known location of the three remaining androids, not sure whether he will be able to pull the trigger when the time comes.
