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.

You thief!

What's going on here?

Kubo, did you start this?

That little thief stole all the fish I was drying!

How dare you insult my precious Kumiko!

SHUT UP!

So what's the damage?

Let's see, three full layers... that's 240 fish.

240!

Nice story, but no cat on Earth can eat 240 fish!

Maybe it dug a hole and hid them!

You're thinking of a dog.

Anyway, she's sick of your stinking fish!

It's not fit for seagulls!

Why you!

Is this what started all the noise?

Good specimen. Very well preserved.

This batch was perfect!

Decent aroma.

You like it? I marinade it for six hours before smoking it.

You're a true connoisseur!

I knew you'd appreciate true art! Men like us...

YOU IDIOT!

We haven't time for this! Are you cooks or mechanics?

And Kazu - who said you could bring in a feral cat?

Er... um...

If you have time to waste on pets and food, you don't need time to fish!

You won't be needing the speedboat!

Fishing is forbidden until further notice!

But, Sir!

SHUT UP! But, Sir!

SHUT UP!

If I say it's forbidden, it's forbidden! Shige, finish up here.

In light of what just happened... Kubo and Ito are assigned two weeks of bathroom duty.

Now get back to work!

The Underground Mystery Tour

So, have you noticed something odd around here recently?

What do you mean?

I'm not sure, but it seems like a lot of things have gone missing lately.

Maybe I'm just being forgetful.

Didn't we get cream?

I bought some yesterday. Isn't it on the shelf?

Wasn't someone complaining about losing his pickled meat?

The Lieutenant lost some whisky out of his locked drinks cabinet.

The good stuff he got three years ago in Hachioji?

I didn't want to say anything...

but since we don't get many visitors...

...it must be someone here.

You lost something?

Just some rice crackers and chocolate. Not much.

I thought Asuma had eaten it.

Hey!

What's wrong, Hiromi?

Kimie... Kimie and Miyoko!

They were here last night. I was just coming to feed them.

Wild dogs?

Ito's little thief?

This is no longer funny.

It doesn't look like anyone broke in, and the cage is still secure.

Hiromi!

Whether this is an insider or someone from the outside this is definitely a crime.

We should stop this.

Starting tonight, we'll keep an armed watch!

I suppose we should.

We should clear this with the Lieutenant.

Fine with me.

Who's there? Is someone there?

Attack, Wyndham!

That's strange. I thought we had him cornered.

Come out, villain!

Shige, over here!

Good boy! Look, Shige!

I never heard about a tunnel.

I'm not surprised. It was used to haul garbage out to the landfill.

It was closed before Special Vehicles moved in.

Once the landfill was finished, they no longer needed it...

...but the tunnels still crisscross this entire area.

So how do you know this?

I heard people talking, some time ago.

Some workers died in the tunnel. Their bodies were never found.

At least, that was the story.

How gruesome.

Hardly surprising. These things happen.

I'll bet they thought closing the tunnel solved the problem.

Can we seal it with concrete?

Wait. I know it's only food, and it may be beyond our jurisdiction...

but this is a violation of police property.

We can't just let this go.

Yes, but...

So that's it.

HQ won't provide backup on such a trivial case, but we ARE policemen.

We can handle this ourselves.

Your task is to capture the fugitive hiding down there.

Thank you both for volunteering for this difficult assignment.

Lieutenant Nagumo looks happy. She got to dump it all on us.

We're the only choice. Division 1 is on standby.

Close it up.

Hey, Ota, isn't it scary down here?

Show some backbone.

This is Ota. Commencing search. Over.

This is HQ. Activate your transponder. Over.

It was short notice, but I was able to dig up a really old map.

Still, we're better off with it than without it.

Will Ota and Shinshi be okay?

Why wouldn't they be?

Ota!

We're ready, Sir.

It's been two hours since we lost contact with Ota and Shinshi.

We don't know what happened, but since their radio is out...

...we must presume there is some difficulty.

This may be a simple case, or...

A monster.

Bringing back Ota and Shinshi is your top priority.

Proceed with caution, and stay in contact.

That is all.

Officer Kumagami and three men, departing on the search.

Good luck! Try not to get killed! Take care!

Maybe we should've just sealed it.

There are things in this world best left unmolested.

Is it working?

This programme's a last minute rush job. A real clunker.

Signal received.

Good, pipe it through.

This is Hawkwind. Do you read me?

Reading you loud and clear.

We're 20 metres north, now heading east.

Note: Motion Tracker from Aliens

It's much larger than I expected.

Should we pull them out, or send in reinforcements?

What's wrong?

They're picking up movement. About 50 metres ahead of them.

Asuma!

Something's moving. It's coming this way!

What's wrong Shinohara? Izumi?

Man, that surprised me!

ASUMA!

Ouch!

Noa, you alive?

I think so. Hiromi?

You're sitting on me.

Kumagami fainted, but I think she's okay.

I'm sure she's happier that way.

Noa, turn on your flashlight.

I dropped it when we fell.

Do you still have your flare? Use that.

Um...

Shinohara! Izumi! Answer me!

Kumagami, report!

We've lost their signal. I don't know where they are.

What now? Send in another wave of young recruits?

But we still don't know what's down there. To send any more would be too risky.

Contact HQ.

What was that?

"Maybe we should seal it, after all"?

Time for an equipment check. Noa, you go first.

I have two shells for my M-31, flares, and three caramels.

I lost everything in the panic back there.

We have two shotguns and three shells.

I'm getting scared.

And now for the really bad news.

What?

I lost the radio. We can't contact the surface.

Oh.

WHAT?!

That's not all. I dropped the transponder, too.

Then how shall we get back?

We're completely lost.

What'll we do?

Got any ideas?

How should I know?

Then how do you expect me to know?

So where are you leading us?

I just wondered that myself.

Hey...

What?

About those rats...

What about them?

Wasn't it strange?

Yes, so?

They just ignored us.

It was like something was chasing them.

Come on, what could possibly chase a huge pack of rats?

Well...

Shh! Well...

Shinshi!

Asuma!

I was so scared! It was horrible!

Okay, everything's all right now. What happened?

An alligator! A HUGE alligator!

THERE IT IS!

Kimie!

How could they do this to you?

Where are we?

This is the Lieutenant's whisky! Look, it says "Goto".

GOTO

GOTO This is incredible!

This stuff looks awfully familiar.

We've found the thief's hideout!

He's made good going!

After him!

Halt! Wait! Stop!

Fumihiro Tadayama, 42 years old.

He was a temp worker at the landfill, in the autumn of 1990.

After a spell of unemployment, he returned to the landfill, into the tunnels.

He's been stealing water and power and living like a king.

And they say there's nothing but garbage in a landfill.

But there's no food.

He stole a little at a time, to avoid suspicion.

The lonely king of a secret dungeon kingdom.

Was he truly happy down there?

Shinobu, are YOU happy?

Seal it.

We look after our own.

We always return, even from the depths of the pit.

We return so that no man may repeat our error.

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

The AVS-98 Mark II? What is that?

Shinohara Industry's newest labour, a mass market prototype!

It's got great power and manoeuvring. It's awesome!

So, it's different from the last prototype?

Yes, Jitchan is hyping it as the BEST labour ever!

I don't believe the hype.

Then, why don't YOU try it out?
