Question: One of the things I've never been able to figure out. When Roy's hand is clenching why does he shove the nail through it? Beyond the obvious reference to Christ, does the pain shock his nerves into working briefly again or what?
Chosen answer: Exactly. His body is shutting down and he's trying to hold that off long enough to finish his battle with Deckard. His hand starts to freeze up, so he uses the pain from the spike to get it working again temporarily.
There is a deleted scene where Roy's first attempt is to put an electrical wire into his mouth, but that does not work because they are not computers.

Answer: It was probably a matter of public record or a big company she worked for would have some connections to find out.
Yes, but police addresses are not given to the public.

This response is nonsensical. I know a cop and literally just Googled him and found his address in seconds. You can find pretty much anyone's address easily today... It'd probably be even easier in a futuristic society with more advanced technology. Saying "police addresses are not given to the public" means nothing when they're literally public record.
