In 2049, the Wallace corporation has replaced the Tyrell corporation and manufactures new replicants which are designed to be obedient slaves. K is one of them and works as a blade runner, hunting and killing rogue, Tyrell replicants. When K finds the burried remnants of a replicant who has given birth to a child, K is ordered to make all traces of the event disappear, in fear that the news that replicants can procreate would start a war between humans and replicants. From Tyrell's archives, K discovers that the woman was Rachael, with whom Deckard had fallen in love. The information leaks to Wallace, who wants to understand how replicants can reproduce, because he cannot manufacture enough replicants for expanding insterstellar colonization. K discovers that Rachael had two children, a girl who died and a boy who survived. Another clue found at the burial site reminds K of an implanted memory of his fake childhood. This leads him to an orphanage that he recognizes and where he finds a small wooden horse that he remembers hiding. K then visits Dr. Ana Stelline who specializes in artificial memories and confirms that the memory is real. As K believes he is Rachael's son, he fails is considered to be unfit for duty and flees. An analysis of the horse leads him to Las Vegas, where Deckard had been hiding, and reveals that he is the father of Rachael' child. To protect the child however, they separated and he has no knowledge of his whereabouts. They are attacked by Wallace's henchwoman, Deckard is kidnapped and K left for dead. He's however rescued by replicant rebels, from which he learns that the child was actually a girl and that the boy was only a misdirection. K then tracks Deckard, saves him from Wallace's clutches and takes him to his daughter, Ana Stelline.
