Although he's a villain, Roy Batty saves Rick Deckard at the end of Blade Runner, and here's why the scene works so perfectly for Roy's character.
Although he's the villain, Roy Batty actually saves Rick Deckard at the end of the original Blade Runner. While Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard is the star of Blade Runner, Rutger Hauer's Roy Batty has always been the most iconic character from the Blade Runner series. The villain's final scene is a legendary piece of cinematic history not only for his incredible speech but also for his saving of Deckard.
When Roy realizes that his death is inevitable at the end of Blade Runner, he decides that he needs to be redeemed before passing on. So, rather than letting Rick Deckard fall to his death, Roy Batty grabs his pursuer by his arm, picking him up and saving his life. This is a shock to Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard, as he had been conditioned to think of replicants as either slaves or violent killing machines.
On top of that, Roy saving Deckard proves that Roy believes that all life has value, not just his. Roy realizes that Deckard is in the exact same position he was in, with Deckard wanting to be saved, thus extending his life. Although Tyrell couldn't extend Roy's life, Roy knows that he can extend Deckard's life. Roy decides to be better than Tyrell, overcoming his conflict with Deckard and pulling him up onto the roof.
