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.

The Men Who Returned

Shinobu?

I'll be out for a while.

How long?

That depends on him.

Yes, of course. Have fun.

Yes, yes.

See you later.

Definitely a Labour, and a large one, at that.

I know that!

This is their third operation. They're causing a lot of damage.

Yes, I see that.

Chief Fukushima, of Special Vehicles?

No, I'm only Goto. This is the Chief.

Any leads yet?

We're matching the paint residue against known Labours.

We'll have a match in a day or so.

Will you test all 8000 Labours in Tokyo?

I suppose we must, if that's what it takes.

There's a slight chance we'll need Special Vehicles' help.

A slight chance?

Is there a slight chance they'll strike again?

Personally, I hope so. We could use a few more clues.

What's that?

Oh? You mean the graffiti?

Oh, never mind.

Is there something odd about it?

I don't know. Let me think about it...

Hey, you want one?

I'll take all your pandas.

Oh, thank you.

Monkey Mountain.

Maybe next time, okay?

Let's go.

Right.

Monkey Mountain

Saru!

Did you see the paper? We made the headlines!

Idiot! We need to be careful!

I'm sorry. I just felt so proud.

You should imagine there are cops hiding behind every corner. Be careful!

No, I imagine there are thieves hiding behind every corner!

What did I just tell you?

I should be careful?

Oh! I get it! I shouldn't talk so much in public.

Dummy!

I'm doing my best.

"He who lives without folly is not as wise as he may think."

De la Rochefoucauld.

Who wants ice cream?

Good idea. I'll go buy it.

Can we do just one more? I need the money.

Besides, everything up to now has been child's play for you, San.

I'm asking for just one more time!

Thank you very much, sir!

Come on.

Here you go.

I have strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. Which do you want, ltchoku?

Mint.

Stop snivelling.

And you, San?

Strawberry.

Oh, well.

This isn't bad for something with no colour.

Neko, I'm pulling one more job.

What?

One last ATM, but a much larger amount this time.

But Itchoku, if they catch you again, you'll never get out!

We'd still be in jail if San hadn't bailed us out!

I paid him back yesterday.

Then we're fine. Stop talking crazy.

You talk too much.

That's true.

Are you in?

"We must dare, and dare again, and dare forever."

Georges-Jacques Danton.

I'm in.

Two against one. That's it.

Wait! Wait for me! Don't leave me behind!

Wait up, Itchoku!

It is hot today.

I wish we were mobilising instead.

Ota can't take the stress.

Forget him. So where's Division 1 headed?

There was a burglary in Nagayoshi.

A burglary?

Same mode of operation as our case.

They thought that using a Labour bring them a ton of money.

Ah! There are too many stupid people!

But our suspects haven't shown up in a while.

Fine by me.

Chiefs' Office May I come in?

I see... A Tyrant? That's the most popular model.

Thanks, if you find out anything more, please let us know.

Are those the suspects in the ATM case?

Mind if I take a look?

Drop this one and this one. And these don't match the mode of operation.

These two both work alone.

It's not their usual style either, but mainly they're loners.

This was a group job.

So they couldn't pull it off by themselves?

That's what I think.

What does this look like to you?

Some sort of smiley face?

It looks like a monkey to me.

A monkey?

You know, it seems vaguely familiar.

My memory's gotten so bad lately. It must be my age.

Where is he? I'm constantly telling him to stay with us! He's such a nuisance!

"Only the patient can hope to master a truly difficult task."

Friedrich Von Shiller. Be patient.

I've had enough. I'll go find him.

Itchoku Inubashiri? I have a few questions for you.

Sorry, I don't know him. You have the wrong man.

Did I surprise you?

Ow!

It was just a joke! I'm sorry! I was just kidding! I'm sorry.

Your jokes are utterly pathetic!

An idiot like you'll never be a good criminal! You should be more careful!

Yes.

Itchoku, lower your voice.

San!

You can't be serious!

Yes.

No chance, San. That place is bad news.

It'll be fine.

It's too close to police HQ!

It's jinxed! You tried it and failed three years ago.

It'll take the police ten minutes to respond.

We'll be gone in three. Plenty of leeway.

If everything follows the plan.

The Furukawa job took seven minutes.

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement; nothing can be done without hope."

Helen Keller.

We can do it.

San.

So what happened three years ago?

You don't need to know.

You're mean.

Only to you.

Stop it.

Hello, this is Goto. Yes, it's been a while, hasn't it?

I need a favour.

Oh, come on. Just a little favour.

We planted this same bomb once before.

Is that why you're against it?

Exactly. It won't work.

I'm sorry. I'll be quiet.

The casing, setup, and execution were flawless.

The job was perfect.

So why did you fail?

The timer didn't work.

The bomb never went off.

Then...

How do you rate our chances?

Fifty-fifty. My reputation can handle it either way.

The Kasumigaseki Building. When?

This Thursday.

The Kasumigaseki Building bombing case?

You remember it?

Of course! We were lucky that the bomb hadn't gone off... So what about it?

I believe there was some odd graffiti there, too.

What do you mean, "too"?

Like at every ATM crime scene.

Really?

Or perhaps it's just children's chalk drawings.

My...

You have a lead?

It looks like Sankichi Sarusuberi is back.

He was the ringleader three years ago. Why's he back?

Maybe the "Home of the Sea" is planning something big.

Excuse me.

This is a composite sketch of the man who posted Inubashiri's bail.

A definite resemblance.

Hey ltchoku, what if I have to go to the bathroom?

What-! Why didn't you go before we left?

I'm fine right now. I mean, when you're gone.

Just hold it!

What if I can't?

Ah!

I'll never understand how you managed to hijack a plane!

Y-yes, I was somewhat amazing, wasn't I?

"The die is cast." Julius Caesar.

Roger.

Neko, I'm counting on you.

The bank is closed. We open at 9 AM.

This is private property. Customers may not enter.

Gah! Please stop!

Sorry, I'm not a customer.

DOC

This shall provide a little pocket money.

A guard! Be careful!

What do you think you're doing?!

Sorry, no time for chit-chat.

Where are the police?

They're five minutes ahead of schedule! Hurry!

Roger!

Over here!

Hurry! Hurry!

Attention, Labour! Halt and exit your vehicle immediately!

Tch. They mobilised far too quickly.

This is our chance. Break through and escape!

Itchoku, hurry!

Impossible!

There's no escape!

What?

Ota!

Neko, get out of here!

Take the money and run!

But...

Just don't drop the money!

Itchoku, I'm sorry!

Stop it!

I don't think so!

What are you doing?

He's fast.

Forget the Labour, stop the truck!

What?

He's getting away!

Halt!

He's gone!

San, ltchoku is...

Itchoku, abandon your Labour.

Without it, we can't open the ATM.

Forget the money!

What?

Just get out of there! Don't let them catch you!

On your left, Noa.

Attention Boxer Pilot. Exit your cockpit immediately. I repeat...

Attention Boxer Pilot. Exit your cockpit immediately.

Noa, wait a minute.

What's the matter?

Something's not right. Be careful.

He's gone.

He tricked us.

They found the truck and all the money.

It was at a construction site, only a five minute walk away.

They even ignored a "No Trespassing" sign.

What about the criminals?

They must have escaped on foot.

Sarusuberi must be aching for a return match.

Probably. How did you know that last night would be the night?

Well, today is Friday?

Yes.

More people make withdrawals on Friday, leaving less cash.

Thursday's machine was a better target, since it had more cash.

Are you just making that up?

Yes.

Lieutenant!

That explanation should help the night watchman sleep easier.

Well, that's how it goes.

Yes.

Still...

I don't feel too bad.

See you later.

San, thank you for everything.

Wherever you go, take care of yourself.

You too, Neko.

Let's go, Neko.

Yes.

Bye.

"Friends and wine are both best when old." English proverb.

See you again.

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

Her name is Momoko Sakurayama.

She's a journalist who always pushes the envelope!

Hey, Noa, she wants to do a story on you for "Working Girl"!

I'm not ready for this! I don't like this idea! Why choose me?

Yes, they should've chosen someone else. Why don't you just turn it down?

I'll take the challenge! I'll do it.
