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.

I hope you're ready. There's no turning back now.

Well, then... go to it.

It's Plessie.

Orders of the Coast Guard

It happened last night around 10 p.m.

A report came in that something was burning out at the shrine.

I saw it! I saw it, I tell you!

Hold on. Wait your turn!

I gathered some young men and initiated a search.

I saw it!

Be quiet!

What did you see?

I---

We found this man, and saved him from drowning.

Drowning?

I saw it!

Saw what?

I saw it...

Katsuiji!

I told you not to go so close to the shrine.

You dropped lobster traps there, didn't you?

I saw it!

Naturally. Plessie's nest is near the shrine.

Plessie?

Mmm.

I'm speaking of a long-necked reptile.

Its fossil record is prehistoric.

Rumour says one lives in Loch Ness, too.

You can't mean... a plesiosaurus!

Yes.

Maybe you saw a shark, and made a mistake.

I'm a fisherman. I don't make that kind of mistake.

But if you have something like that here...

...why isn't your town world famous?

The entire village has been working to avoid that fame.

Why?

The scientists would ruin our fishing grounds. We'd starve.

You idiot!

Thanks to you, all our hard work is completely ruined!

What should we do?

We're under orders of the coast guard.

Then let's do it!

Well, all right. Call Ota and the others.

Yes, sir!

All right!

Stop!

It's too narrow, Hiromi.

What's going on up here?

I'm sorry. A tighter turn would hit the mountainside.

But your wheel is going over the edge.

Shinshi, raise the deck for Unit 2.

Why?

If the carriers can't take us in, we'll have to walk.

Oh, that's right...

Try using your brain the next time you face the unexpected.

And here he is: Officer Ota, the Master of Improvisation!

Hello, viewers.

This is Special Vehicles, Second Section!

Leaving behind them a trail of crying babies and toppled tombstones.

They're the capitol's very own ogre army!

Ahead of them lies a penniless fishing village.

Ha. I won.

Unrivalled! The unrivalled Second Section!

Who shall be their next victim?

Might as well be comfortable, if you're standing guard.

The rest of your team are enjoying themselves.

Here.

Thanks.

Shikura Village Men's League Plessie Protection Committee "Shikura Village Men's League Plessie Protection Committee"

You seem rather well prepared.

That's so.

Is that so?

Yes. That's so.

How about this one?

Yes, a perfect impression.

What are they doing?

They're taking a souvenir footprint.

A souvenir?

Yes. That's so.

Whatever.

Here, have a drink.

I'm sorry, but we're on duty.

That was then, this is now.

Your Lieutenant's asleep.

We really can't.

Give me.

Give me.

We really appreciate the show.

It's nothing. Just leftover stock from last year.

But should we really do this?

Why not?

Those reporters are right around the corner.

They're just waiting for action, too.

Besides, they'd rather report on Plessie than us.

Ingram vs. Dinosaur?

Ah.

Don't kill Plessie.

What?

If you do catch her, don't you dare hurt her!

It's a miracle she's managed to survive so many aeons.

It brings tears to my eyes just to think about it.

Please be gentle with her.

We promise, sir.

Look at this!

The new hot spot is Shikurahama Bay!

Everyone wants to see the battle of the century,

as that scientific wonder, the mighty Ingram, battles a prehistoric beast shrouded in mystery!

Who shall win? The Ingram? Plessie?

Send your votes to your local station!

What's going on here?

I suppose nobody has anything better to do.

No, don't rub that grit on my Alphonse!

Oh, no, too late!

I understand the excitement. I would have come to see, too.

They have no idea of the danger!

Please keep your distance!

That rock is dangerous! That's where Plessie's nest is!

If Plessie is real, this crowd will be quite a problem.

Izumi...

I think we should recharge Alphonse soon.

What? You'd bring the carrier through that traffic jam?

That would be very fine driving.

If I start walking, they'll have to get out of my way.

Ota!

That attitude is what keeps our accident rate so high.

Yes...

Okay, I'll walk to the carrier if you save my spot, Asuma!

Your spot?

This stretch of beach where Alphonse is standing.

All right...

RESERVED FOR SV-2

Excuse me...

Okay. Here you go!

Thank you!

Sure...

Officer Shinohara,

after Unit 1 is charged, could you save our space, too?

Where did the Lieutenant go?

He said he had to talk to the prefectural police.

He has all the luck.

Oven

Tasty! Plessiyaki

Yakisoba

Plessibuns

They certainly look healthy.

Oh, yes. Anyway, as nothing's happening, they'll pull us out tomorrow.

I see. What if Plessie comes ashore to terrorise the tourists?

I saw it!

Thanks.

Then it's the Coast Guard's problem.

Is that so?

Yes, that's so.

Are we pulling out?

They're so well prepared here, I'm sure they can handle it.

Here. I don't think it's poisoned.

We can't let the Patlabors leave.

If the Patlabors stay, the TV crews stay.

The only good thing we ever catch in August is jellyfish.

Our dreams of development have vanished, along with all the young women.

Our nation has forsaken us!

We should do whatever we can to restore this village!

We tried hot springs.

We salted the beach with gold dust.

We became sister city to Jakarta.

And every scheme failed. Our coffers are empty.

It's time to end this losing streak!

We need a home run hit to blow away our bad luck!

Plessie is our trump card. This shall save our village!

But, sir, Plessie's still a bit too much for us.

We need more time.

We've run out of time.

The Patlabors leave in the morning.

But...

The people on shore need something to stir them up.

Something doesn't feel right.

There are too many tourists, but that's typical.

Isn't it a bit overblown?

The TV stage, the advertisements, all the arrangements?

You know, the Lieutenant said much the same thing.

Hi!

Let's go for a walk.

Me?

Sure. Yamazaki, you too.

Lieutenant!

This is a fairly narrow path for a night-time walk.

Don't worry.

I don't know what you're thinking,

but are you sure we're the right ones for this job?

Are you scared?

Lieutenant!

What's going on?

Hurry up! The tail is already in the water!

Hold on, I may have an operating license, but it only covers farming Labours.

Same as Katsuji, and he's already out there.

I wanted to get a haircut before the TV crews arrived.

What's taking you so long?

You might think of helping me.

Okay, here's some light. How's that?

Kumagami, it's a hoax. It's all fake! Kumagami!

Step away! We are impounding this as evidence!

Stand back! Move away from the equipment!

What's that?

Look!

Momo, hurry! It's here!

It is? Really?

Wait for me, you...

Hooray!

What's that?

Something's strange.

I saw it, and now everyone else will, too!

Do you see that? It's Plessie! That's the tail of a plesiosaurus!

How carefree she seems.

Look, she's raised a fin!

It's almost like she's playing and calling "come catch me if you can!"

She almost taunting us!

You won't make fools of us!

Hey, maybe I can use this to get some lobsters!

You coward!

Come ashore and fight fair and square!

Ota, it can't understand you.

Hard at work, I see.

Lieutenant, why are they here?

Tonight they were portraying the upper half of Plessie.

Then what is that?

Why, that must be the lower half.

So it's a fake?

Asuma, what a disappointment.

The eyes of the world are upon us.

The quicker we wrap this up, the quicker we can take our vacation.

Vacation?

I called HQ from the police station, and they confirmed it.

Noa, let's go!

You mercenary.

Plessie has been uncovered as a submersible Labour!

Special Vehicles is moving to attack the fake Plessie.

Good luck, Special Vehicles! Good luck, Plessie!

Oh, which side should I support?

I'm detecting engine noise...

It's definitely a Labour.

Officer Ota, you only have one net, so aim carefully.

Understood. Leave it to me!

He got him! Pull, Noa!

What was that?

I saw it! I really did!

Oops, I suppose this isn't the time for that.

Now that's a big catch!

Should I try this? Or this?

So finally, Plessie's true form is revealed! Take a look! That's Plessie!

Oh, no, it broke.

What are you doing, Ota?

What? Why weren't you backing me up?

What?! You're blaming ME?

He's getting away!

Not for long!

Submit, criminal!

Ota, don't!

Oh, cool! Beautiful!

Like fireworks.

Momo...

There it is!

As expected, Incident 18, in Division 2's litany of reckless destruction!

I think it was a mistake to ask for the Labour unit.

The ogre army of the Capitol.

They scare me.

Me too.

Want some?

No.

Here it comes!

What's wrong, Noa?

Everyone's gone.

It makes sense.

Naturally, once they found out about the hoax.

Excuse me, are you the Labour team?

We are.

Thank heavens!

Look, Hiroyuki, these people run the Ingrams.

He's a big fan of yours. He especially likes the Labour carrier.

Ingram! Ingram!

If you don't mind, could we have a picture with you?

Sure.

Everybody smile!

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

Haneda New Sky Hotel! Isn't the south view of the hotel great?

If I didn't work here, I would enjoy it a lot more.

Some Home of the Sea terrorists planned to bomb the hotel's tower.

Luckily, the bomb exploded in their possession,

and funny enough, they got stuck, and couldn't get down.

Hey! That's so wrong! You must aid in their rescue, Asuma.
