Original subtitles

Labour: A robot specifically designed for construction work.

Labours facilitate dramatic advances in construction, but also in crime.

To combat these new Labour crimes, the police create a special unit: The Patrol Labour.

And thus, the birth of Patlabor.

When the area of your dreams

Is invaded by tears

When your heart falters

Just call my name

Hurry up, hurry up, Wings of Love

Fly to your sky

I'm gonna fly fly away

Condition green

I want to help your deep sorrow

The radar of my heart

Can sense the same pain as yours anytime

Just I'm gonna fly away

The black giant has landed.

Alphonse was given a riot gun to use against the Griffon...

but Noa could not fire because of civilian bystanders.

SSS tried to eliminate the evidence against Schaft with explosives on Griffon's back.

But the charges went off prematurely.

The shock of the blast caused Noa to black out briefly...

but Asuma and the team woke her in time.

And now, the Griffon is advancing again!

Griffon Down!

You lose!

The only loser here...

...IS YOU!

Counterattack! Go, Noa!

Step out of your machine!

It can't be!

Chief! I'm glad you're safe.

This is all thanks to SSS.

What's wrong?

That sound from the Griffon...

It isn't supposed to sound like that.

I'll find out what's happening.

Yes, I hear it, too. It definitely isn't normal.

Anyway, what's going on? I thought I heard an explosion.

I won't be held responsible for this!

The explosion damaged it. It was SSS!

L-let go!

I'll never let go!

A little higher. Good, don't move!

Careful, Yamazaki, the cylinder will rotate!

Yes!

Come on... stop it !

Ah! He got my main monitor!

Yamazaki!

Even in your Ingram you wouldn't have hit him.

Shut up!

Are you okay?

I'll be fine, but we shan't be able to fire another shot.

My monitor's out.

Don't let go, Noa! You're blind. You'll never catch him again!

Ow! My ribs!

That's why I told you to stay home and rest.

I couldn't do that!

You must have heard that. Can you keep going?

I want to run away.

But you know you can't.

Noa, to your right!

Here?

Why you...!

Why you...!

I don't believe it.

It's like two children fighting.

Mr. Sakaki, how much power is left in the Ingram?

No more than a few minutes.

Noa, shut down all unnecessary systems.

Main monitor off; sensor 3: no good.

This can't be happening!

Right manipulator gone. Shutting it down.

My Griffon's being destroyed! It's not fair!

Power train: still good. One more run should stop him.

You can do it, Alphonse!

Unit 1 first, move in to reinforce.

Bud, time to go.

Chief!

Bud, that's enough. Time to escape.

What?

Luck wasn't with us. Griffon doesn't look too good.

It's no longer a fair fight.

No, no!

The fight has sunk to a new low!

The Labours are now hand-to-hand!

This is terrible! It's unbelievable!

Ridiculous!

Why you...!

Why you...!

Out of my way!

Bud Renard Harchand, be a good boy. It's time to go.

Do you want the police to catch you?

We should abandon Bud.

Griffon's been trashed,

and if we don't escape soon, the police will close in on us.

We must abandon Bud and Griffon, and get you to safety.

Kurosaki!

If you survive, Planning Division 7 shall live again.

I'll never let go.

I think Bud's finally ready to go.

We should be leaving, too.

What happened?

He detached his arm!

That machine has all sorts of tricks.

That seems to be its trademark.

The hatch won't open!

Noa, 11 o'clock!

You won't get away!

This doesn't mean that I lost!

He doesn't have enough speed! He'll crash into the bay.

Who are you calling?

I'll ask the Far East Manager to pick up Bud.

I can't gain altitude! I'm going to crash!

That's a bad sign.

Motor tension is dropping as the battery fades.

Noa!

What's the matter?

Are you hurt?

He got...

He got away. After all I did.

This Ingram is one solid machine.

The economy model I used in Haruumi just fell apart.

I really wanted to run away...

...but I stayed and fought.

Remember how brave you were today and you'll always put up a good fight.

I don't want a good fight.

Perhaps here's no such thing as a good fight.

How's Izumi?

Give her a few minutes.

That girl infuriates me. She had that great gun...!

I know, but you didn't fight. She did.

But...!

Ota, Yamazaki, thanks to you, Izumi wasn't crushed.

Good work.

Lieutenant, I would have...!

Everyone has his own style. That's how it is...

Sorry about this.

It'll cost plenty in overtime pay.

We must send this one back to the factory, too.

Carefully, please! Carefully!

You know something?

I think you've changed.

Have I?

To be honest, I never thought you'd get this far.

Neither did I.

There he is!

Positive ID: Bud Renard Harchand. Prepare to retrieve.

Hello?

Utsumi here!

I hope you weren't stuck in that office all night long!

Ah you! This is all your doing! But what now?

What SHOULD I do?

What?! Where's the Griffon?!

Answer me, Utsumi!

Calm down.

Bud Renard escaped and the Griffon's now at the bottom of Tokyo Bay.

By the way, I'll be coming in to the office today.

I'll arrange for SSS to handle a few minor details.

Colonel, I've left a few observers.

All other teams have completed withdrawal.

I've just heard from the Chairman.

The Chairman?

Utsumi is still a valuable asset. We are to leave him alone.

Then what was the point of this debacle?

Orders from the top. "Theirs not to reason why..."

Planning Division 7 must be quite important.

Izumi, we're here.

Izumi?

Where's Asuma?

He forgot his medicine, so he's stopping off at the dorm to pick it up.

Mr. Sakaki offered to bring him by in his car.

It wouldn't be so bad, if you'd behaved yourself.

Ouch!

I hope he'll be all right.

He's young. He'll recover.

Today we'll have a test drive!

Let's check the power train first! Start charging the battery!

Charging battery.

Thanks to Alphonse, I didn't get a scratch.

The Ingram is an amazing machine.

Shige, you can fix him, can't you?

Compared to Ota's machine, this one's barely scratched!

The backbone's still okay, and it could move if we had power!

It'll be as good as new in no time!

Thank you so much!

Leave it to us.

Something should have been done about SSS and Schaft!

Ota, if you have something to say, spit it out!

How can we leave before the job's done?

We let our opponents just walk away!

We've lost every single Labour. What could we do?

But Kanuka stayed behind, and she's still working!

Kanuka's job is different. She's investigating for the NYPD.

So what exactly IS our job?

The mobile police handle the crisis.

The detectives handle the investigation. It's time to rest.

Did you hear me, Ota?

In only three days, Division 2 has been wiped out.

I'm getting a headache just thinking about how to rebuild.

Then what can I do?

You can go back to the dorm and sleep. I'm tired, too.

Izumi, I can drop you off at the dorm. It's on my way.

Thanks, but I don't want to leave my bike behind.

I'll just take a nap in the duty room.

Take care.

You too. Hurry home.

I'm sure your wife shall be relieved to see you.

Oh, she's probably asleep by now.

Hello, Michiko?

Oh, were you still asleep? I'm sorry.

No, it's nothing, really, but did you see the news yesterday?

SV2 fought the Black Labour! They even had a shot of my husband Miki on TV!

You missed it? He was amazing!

I could copy it for you!

I could copy it for you! The fight has sunk to a new low!

The fight has sunk to a new low!

No, it's no problem! Bye!

Let's see... I'd better call Mama next! Oh, there's so much to do!

My, why do I have to wear this?

But it looks good on you!

That was a low blow!

We're still in danger. Grin and bear it until we're out of Japan.

Good, I made it in time.

Shinohara and Izumi wanted to come...

...but the Ingram repairs are nearly finished, so they're on standby.

Can you afford the time, Lieutenant?

Didn't they find a section of the Black Labour?

You're remarkably well informed.

Mr. Sakaki is checking into it. It's rather strange.

Strange?

Every Labour has dozens of telltale clues to its manufacturer.

For example, the Ingram differs from all other Shinohara Labours...

But the auto-balance unit tags it as a Shinohara make.

Exactly. But the Black Labour lacks any such features.

So it wasn't just an existing model in disguise.

Exactly.

And how did your investigation go?

SSS is now claiming to be the victim, since they lost four Labours.

I tell you, if this had happened in America...

Then I would have been a lot happier!

I'm sure we'll meet again.

Take care.

Keep quiet!

Excuse me...

Could I trouble you for a light?

Light? You are meaning "fire"?

Yes, please.

Please to take sweets, instead.

Sweets?

Sweets are better for health than tobacco.

Odd. I thought I smelled smoke on you.

Tobacco?

I smelled fire.

Regrettably, little can be done about such smells.

Regrettably.

I'll take him for a test drive!

But first...

Now that you're repaired, it's time for a little polishing!

She hasn't changed a bit.

The storm fleetingly stopped

The fists from last night are now washed clean

Once the break of dawn loosens the screw

It awakens machines and buildings

I got it

I can see far away it's like a panorama

No matter how you look at it, it's a happy island

One more chance

I want to tell you about it; I want to convey it to you

The gate to the dream is opening now before my eyes

This story is fiction... but in 10 years, who knows?

Division 2 hasn't trained for a long time. Looks like it's time for a refresher at Okutama!

Huh? Is it okay to be absent from our duties?

I don't think that's a good idea.

You've nothing to worry about, it's all in your head!

Hey, there are robbers in the area! Noa, where are you?!

Next Time: Noa's Adventure. Target, locked on!
