Continuity mistake: When Coco is examining the skeleton, the shots of Coco in focus show Lieutenant Joshi in the background leaning her elbow on the medical table, and remains this way until Coco says "Sorry" after referring to Sapper Morton as a sentimental skin job. Joshi then asks where's the kid and she suddenly has her arms crossed and not leaning on the table. This isn't very easy to see when she is asking, but is noticeable when Coco gets up from his seat in the next shot. (00:25:35)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Dr. Stelline offers to analyse K's memory to see if it is real. She sits down on a bench where her console is shown and is smiling with her mouth closed.

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When K arrives at Dr. Stelline's facility with Deckard, his left ear is visibly mangled and injured. At no other point in the movie or in any prior scene, did his ear have this damage done to it. It just appears in this scene out of nowhere. (02:29:10)

Continuity mistake: When K hands the hair sample to the clerk at Wallace Corporation, the clerk puts down the note with the serial number for the replicant, and places it on the desk, with part of it positioned in front of the keyboard. From another angle, the note cannot be seen. This could not be due to the clerk's head blocking it, because the note was placed in front of the keyboard, and the keyboard is fully visible in shot with no note visible in front of it. (00:29:45)

Casual Person

Rick Deckard: Sometimes to love someone, you got to be a stranger.

Question: Is K meant to be the boy that supposed lived (while the girl survived)? Or did the girl get passed off as a boy? Why does K have her memories? What is the back story to the doctor? Why is she in a containment area?

Answer: The birth records were purposefully mixed to hide Ana Stelline (Rachael and Deckard's daughter). She was passed off as a boy and raised in the orphanage. K was given her memories because she secretly was giving replicants pleasant memories of her own. She is in a containment area because it is said she has an autoimmune disorder, but this is likely a ploy by the freedom fighters to keep anyone from examining her and discovering that she is at least part replicant.
