Question about K, Deckard and Rachael (spoilers inside)

By the way, the chess game is not a metaphor for this three hour movie. I actually played this chess game and saw the movie later.

As easy as I can explain it.

The daughter of Deckard happens to be in charge of creating most if not all the memories of all the replicants wallander makes. They hire her because she is the best at making up memories.

But as they explain in the movie, all artists leave a little bit of them in their work, which means that as much as she makes memories up, sometimes real stuff will also make it through the implants of the replicants, so many replicants walking around in the world have memories in their head that are actually hers in reality, this isn't normally an issue, it's not like replicants start chatting up between each other remembering the past, after all, they know their memories are implants as well.

When K sees the numbers and then triggers a memory from when he was a kid, he realizes this memory may not be made up and actually real, the thing here is that K, just like the audience, start to believe (with hope) that he is Deckard's son but in reality nowhere in the movie do they say this. Just like in the first blade runner, Raechel's memories were actually Tyrel's niece, so it was more likely that K was implanted with the memories of the real son/daughter than actually him being the actual son of Deckard.

But then he starts digging and find that apparently there were two of them and that the daughter died and the son lived, this was just a decoy to keep people looking for someone else other than the daughter but we as an audience (just as K as someone looking for a reason to exist) want to believe deep inside that he really is deckard's son.

At the end we get hit with the harsh reality that "they all want to be the one" obviously, they all want to be the real replicant son/daughter of a replicant, just like K.

But for K, even if just a little while, Deckard was his dad. It's a very powerful moment when Deckard asks K "who am I to you?"

You know K was thinking "for a little while I thought you were my dad" but he takes him to his real daughter.

From my understanding of the film, there were no twins. The whole idea of creating matching DNA records was concocted by Deckard in order to further confuse and obscure anyone trying to find his daughter.

This fits in with the group of rebel replicants almost mocking K for thinking that he was himself 'born', and stating that they all have wished for that to be true about themselves too.

K is merely a replicant assigned to be a Bladerunner. Since Wallace does not generally make one replicant model at a time (an exception was the not-green-eyed Rachel), who did not last long, there were likely thousands of replicants who looked like K and had the implanted memory of the horse and hiding it from the boys.

As for the other replicants that were forming an army, I got the sense that they were all aging Nexus 8s, some of whom were part of Sapper Morten's crew, not misguided newer models who thought they were the son or daughter of Deckard and Rachel. If you think about it, K only uncovered that through extensive investigation.

Which makes me wonder if Wallace and Luv knew there was a child before K started the investigation? If they did, with their virtually infinite money and access (ala walking into LAPD HQ TWICE and murdering cops), they would have ran it down.

I don't think they did, recall Luv killing all of the nomads and telling K to get up and do his effing job "find the child."
