With the rapid development of hyper technology came...
humanoid construction machines
called Labors.
However, this gave rise to Labor Crimes,
a new threat to society.
The Metropolitan Police formed a special vehicles section to combat these crimes.
Known as the SV2, Patrol Labor units.
The beginning of Patlabor.
And time has passed since. Now it is year 2013, Tokyo.
SV2 Division 1 has disbanded.
Division 2 is barely surviving.
With the matter of survival in question, this is the story of...
struggling days of the third generation SV2 Division 2.
If Tokyo Bay is the mouth of an animal,
the reclaimed area which sticks out seawards along the Tokyo Bay
looks like a sharp tooth of Tokyo.
In the 1980s,
the photographer who captured the landscape described as follows:
If the reclaimed area is said to be a sharp tooth,
the tunnel which is sleeping underground
can be described as the stomach of this city of beast.
People in the city have been disposing off loads of waste.
As eras go by,
many things are ignored.
They are thrown aside
to become pieces of memories.
Craziness and desires stay at this place.
Just like people who fall into confusion.
Then, time keeps elapsing.
In the disgraceful history of SV2,
this is the most unspeakable story.
It's kept deep below,
an underground story.
Crocodile Dungeon
Yesterday night, in Atagawa Tropical & Alligator Garden,
a large pearl was found.
Detailed identification of experts
has proven the pearl genuine.
The Tropical & Alligator Garden invited experts for identification.
The results have been released.
It's a ball formed by urinary tract with a stone as it's core,
covered repeatedly with mucus secreted
from the crocodile's body.
This is a rare situation.
However, it's correct
for the experts to call it a pearl.
Our crocodile Shiro
excreted a white stool.
There's a white "egg" the size of a table tennis ball inside the stool.
I therefore inspected it carefully.
Wow that's great.
Shiro excreted a beautiful egg.
It's then checked.
It's a pearl, brilliant!
Such a thing could happen,
the world is full of wonders.
Pearl found inside stool.
(It's named the "tear of the dragon")
(Atagawa Tropical & Alligator Garden's)
(white crocodile lays a large pearl?)
(Romance under Tokyo)
(Current price 2 billion yen)
The phenomenon of pearl cultivation
is only normally found in shellfish of the Pinctada genus.
This is the first time a pearl has been found in a reptile,
which is extremely rare.
This has aroused heated discussions in academia.
It's worth 2 billion yen!
A huge pearl from a white crocodile.
The white crocodile caught in a sewer in Tokyo Bay.
Could it be the legendary crocodile?
Legendary...What do you mean?
I heard from senpai Kanbara,
I asked why there was a white crocodile.
So he says it came from the reclaimed area no. 13,
the sewer of the fromer SV2.
Really?
It seemed to be back when the SV2 was just established,
in order to overpower criminals who jumped into the sewer,
the Maintenance Team and the SV2 searched together.
A really big crocodile climbed out at that time
which caused a commotion.
It was caught and brought to the Tropical & Alligator Garden.
Is that the white crocodile?
I've heard of this.
In the building of the former SV2,
the gateway should still be there.
It was closed after the commotion.
But that crocodile laid a pearl!
It's just a urinary tract stone.
If I have a crocodile...
A pearl is 20 billion yen worth!
20 billion is a lot!
We can renovate our guardhouse and
rebuild the canteen as well!
During that period,
they were working around the clock.
Morale of the Maintenance Team was very low.
They created a sense of escaping the painful reality
with an insecure mental state.
This is commonly known as a state of "wishing dreams come true".
The state
is catalyzed by a of piece news which is not worth mentioning.
However, for the young members of the Maintenance Team,
this had broken the boundary between reality and virtuality.
What they talked about
could groundlessly become reality.
Their fantasy is innocent.
But it had become a drastic delusion.
It's the right timing,
let's go to Tokyo Bay to fish one!
Keeping and breeding it by ourselves aren't dreams any more.
Keeping and breeding white crocodiles...
But they've got to have urinary tract stones...
It's worth it for living a noble life.
How to strengthen the livers of the precious white crocodiles?
Anyway we've got nothing to lose by trying it.
Alright, in order to maintain the value of pearls,
they can't be produced within a short time.
But we need a certain scale for a stable production.
This involves market credibility.
We must do it, Mr. Buchiyama.
What do you mean?
What are you thinking of?
Definitely the large—scale white crocodiles breeding plan.
Let's start the large—scale catching quickly!
You‘re thickheaded!
How can you be so crazy about the urinary tract stones of white crocodiles.
You young men
shouldn't be carried away because of breeding white crocodiles.
You should train your skills and mind instead.
If you have time for daydreaming,
why not improving yourselves?
Come on.
The same words as the old man at that time.
Hum...What do you mean by that time?
Shut up!
It may be incomprehensible for you as a young man.
In this world,
there're things that you mustn't touch,
and places you mustn't go to.
Do you get it? Remember it!
That's all.
— No matter which times, — Alright, any response?
— the temptation of a dangerous golden land of legend - Yes...
is always grabbing young people's hearts.
Having an intensive daily routine every day,
the young people who are chasing after romance,
words of a sage appeared to be useless to them.
Only history tells us the facts.
Soon after, imagination became reality.
Chief, it's been unsealed.
(Closed)
Is it the entrance to the labrynth?
It's nothing that awesome.
In order to transport the rubbish from the reclaimed area,
a passageway was built.
Although it was no longer in use after the completion of the construction project,
in the underground nearby,
there are forks and corridors connected like a web.
They're all kept intact.
Mr. Shiba, how did you know?
The former chief told me.
Inside the remaining passageways,
there are workers who are dead
and missing.
They were left behind?
The story is somewhat like this.
It's a disgusting story.
A common one, though.
It has been sealed for so long,
now we're digging it out again.
Checking is over.
Uemura, Okada, Okura and Hotta.
These four people disappeared.
What?
Helmets and lamps used for construction
as well as spare metal bars were taken.
This was found on Uemura's table.
Read aloud.
"Don't find us"
"Before we get the "tear of the dragon"
"we will never come back"
"Wishing the glory of the SV2 Maintenance Team"
"May Daedalus grant us success."
That's all.
A group of idiots.
From the time they entered the passageway,
they shouldn't have gone far away.
Send a rescue team in there immediately
Get all the cement in the depot here!
May I ask... What do you want...
What I want is what you're thinking of.
I don't want them back, ever.
Cover the entrance up.
Don't mess around!
I'm not!
Get the cement now.
Yes.
Captain.
Former captain said we couldn't go inside.
I've no way to deal with it.
Oh Izumino.
No.
Please help.
Although Uemura is a bit rude,
Okada doesn't have a healthy prostate gland,
and Okura writes "novels that nobody would read" during breaks,
we've been working together for so long.
But I hate reptiles the most.
Mr. Mikiya, please say something.
Don't count on me.
Mr. Ohtawara.
Even if we want to help, we have to get the captain's permission.
Oh Yuma.
Captain, we would like to help.
What?
Please let us go.
The former members suffered a lot.
They had no other options but to run away.
I've heard about this.
They knew nothing about the underground.
They were forced to go inside which led to that result.
If you use the result
to judge that we cannot overcome the condition inside,
it's not thoughtful.
What does Yuma want?
Who knows?
They were in fear of the unknown monster
without sufficient equipment.
However, we're different.
How different are we?
They had a strong sense of mission
but we don't have any mission to shoulder.
(There's nothing to be moved about, stupid.)
Please, captain.
It's an urgent situtation.
In this moment,
Shiobara urged him to take action...
What's his intention?
Why didn't they think twice
before entrusting their fate to Shiobara?
After the action, they would
regret it deeply
and ask themselves this question repeatedly.
Anyway,
the die has been cast.
Alright.
Hurry up! There's no time left!
We're ready.
Yes! Roger!
Should be this one.
It really works!
Hey, we better not go in.
The great dungeon of Abyss
Hey! Be careful!
Need a push?
No.
Be careful.
Grave keepers
to revenge and protect.
We, will revive here.
I'm coming down.
Be careful.
Ok.
No need to rush.
Watch out, under your feet!
Ohtawara, give her light under her feet.
Ready?
Yes.
Let's go.
Calling the surface.
Transmitting video.
Surface is speaking.
Good signal.
Heading forward.
Inch forward, Ohtawara.
Go that way Ohtawara, that way.
What is it?
Something's over there.
I got it!
Don't mess things up.
Don't tell me something could pop out.
Like?
I don't know, insects perhaps.
Are you serious?
It's normal to find one in sewer.
Dangerous! What's that? What's that?
It's a mmm...mouse.
You frightened me!
Stupid.
What?
Stupid.
Kankaeva?
Yes?
Don't tell me...
You‘re afriad of a mouse?
Something's coming out.
Hiromichi, mind your back.
Ok.
Yamazaki.
Yes?
What's that?
It's just water.
Don't overreact, you're scaring me.
Don't be like that!
Kankaeva, are you scared?
Kankaeva!
No more mouse already.
It's so small, don't worry.
Sorry for what happened just now.
Stop it! Go ahead now!
She‘s right!
Let's go!
You‘re blocking the way, Ohtawara.
Shut up and do your part.
I'm doing it, stupid.
What should we do if a crocodile rushed us suddenly?
Jut play it by ear.
We shall count on Mr. Ohtawara at that time.
What you said has frightened Hiro.
Are you ok?
Look ahead while you're moving, Mr. Ohtawara.
Follow me.
I'm
What is it in the front?
I can't see it clearly.
You freaked me out.
Don't overreact like this.
I was really scared by you!
Wait a minute.
Mr. Mikiya. Ok.
What's going on?
Look, on your right.
No, should be on your left.
Then look up.
Go ahead like this.
Over there, over there!
Hey, lots of words are written down.
WELCOME TO PROVING GROUND OF MAD OVERLORD
SPEND A LIFETIME OR TWO HAVING FUN
NO DEPOSIT NO RETURN
What does that mean?
CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 90
MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY PARENT, GURADIAN, PRIEST
OR DEMON
NO EXCEPTIONS
The detector sensed something!
80m ahead!
We're meeting it soon!
Is that a white crocodile?
It's moving towards us.
Just a reptile.
Let me shoot it.
Hold on, it's out of shooting rage.
Kankaeva. Yes.
My eyes! It's painful! It's painful!
That is...
What happened?
What happened to you guys?
Can you hear me?
Their signal is gone.
Their location is unknown.
What should we do?
Send in another team to help?
We're not sure about the situation underground.
Putting more force in is very risky.
Contact the department.
Sorry?
What are you talking about?
As expected, closure is the right thing to do.
You‘re crazy.
Report on casualties.
Check if anyone is injured.
Ok.
The transmitter's not working.
The video camera too.
Mine is the same.
So does the radio phone.
What should we do, we can't contact the ground.
Great loss.
See what you've done.
How can we get back?
How do you think we can.
How can I know!
How can I know if you don't.
Find the way out on our own instead of following the instructions.
What should we do? We can't contact the ground now.
If we let him be in the vanguard,
we will be annihilated.
Say that again if you dare!
Izumino and Hiromichi, stay alert to the back.
Got it.
Hiro?
What's wrong?
Hiro's missing!
Hiro!
Could it be...
Ohtawara killed Hiromichi by the shooting just now?
Nonsense.
No dead body found.
He may be scared off by the explosion.
He's afraid of blasts.
Such a wimp.
It's all because of you. I've told you.
What should we do? Hiro may be in danger.
Do you understand! Now we are in danger too!
Should we backtrack to look for him?
No, it's better to have more people for the search.
Let's look for the four missing guys first.
We can only go forward.
You don't know the way back, anyway.
The way to death,
especially for adventurers losing their way in maze,
there are many reasons leading to failure,
but the main reason is related to their heart.
In order to complete the adventure,
they shouldn't force themselves,
but to go back and forth several times with short interval,
as to expand the scope of safe actions.
They should comply with this as the rule of adventure.
However,
under unpredictable conditions,
the team which has lost equipment and a member,
is mentally unbalanced at that time.
I'm hungry.
Yamazaki is responsible for most of the food.
We're very weak at risk management.
(It's not your turn to speak)
What's going on?
Quiet.
Shiobara.
Mr. Uemura.
Izumino!
Yuma!
It was terrible, really terrible!
I understand.
What had happened?
Stinky!
It's a monster!
A monster that big!
Mommy! Mommy!
What's that?
No! Don't come over here!
I'll cover you, run now!
Ohtawara!
Yes.
Run now!
Run! Run!
Yuma! Yuma!
Rush out now, hurry!
Be quick!
There's a door!
Be quick!
It's approaching!
Close the door! Close the door!
Pull yourself togther!
Where's Ohtawara?
Is he still outside?
Open the door!
Mr. Ohtawara!
No!
Give him up, it's too late.
But...
Don't say but!
Everyone will be in danger if we open the door now.
Are you all devils?
Ohtawara.
Your heroic sacrifice shall not be in vain!
Rest in peace!
I won't let you off!
Farewell, my friend.
(Farewell, my friend.)
Which place is it?
It's Yuma.
You‘ve come to save us.
Tell me what happened.
I see.
You found this room after losing your way.
Yuma...
The stuff here seems related to the old SV2.
It seems...
it's where the former members lived after entering the underground maze.
Athough things are worn out,
the bullets here are the same as ours.
The former members had a struggle as well.
Does history keep repeating itself?
By the way,
The thing we've been taking about...
Tear of the dragon?
There're plenty of them underneath.
You‘ve found them?
When we were backtracking to find the way out.
Then we came?
So, let's go.
Alright.
Hang on.
What?
Are you asking me?
Our mission is to bring them back.
Mission's completed basically.
We should get some bonus.
I don't agree.
Why?
2 billion yen per pearl, it's within our reach.
I don't agree too.
We still need to fight.
We'll die because of obsessions.
We're close to it.
It took us lots of effort to reach here already.
What do you think the pain we've suffered is for?
Go back first anyway.
We can come back down here if there's a need.
Who can guarantee there will be a next time?
We're here in the name of saving them otherwise the captain won't allow it.
You stand convicted out of your own mouth.
You planned to do so from the very beginning.
I'm just being loyal to my needs.
Even though you're not going, we are.
Breaking the rules in order to be here,
the chief will look down on us.
The cement's almost dried up.
Cement? What do you mean?
Anyway,
Mr. Mikiya,
you want to remarry your ex—wife
and live together with your daughter, right?
For this... Yes.
Izumino,
you want the latest "Tekken" right?
Not just the game, you can be a game center boss.
Izumino,
you want to be tempted by the devil?
Kankaeva,
you want to buy the latest Ducati, don't you?
Let's go.
Yes.
Why have we not arrived yet?
Should be close as I remember.
Look! Look!
We did it!
Wait...Hold on.
Yuma?
The former members arrived at the dragon's nest,
ended their story seeing a lot of crocodile eggs.
That's true.
2 billion, 4 billion yen...
Come here!
Come to me, good job.
Good boys, go with me.
Brilliant!
I can be carefree forever!
I'm not a loser anymore!
20 billion per pearl,
I can't calculate how much I can earn for 200 pearls.
It's you, you're the best.
You want it, don't you?
Yes, I want it.
Give your all.
Long live the Maintenance Team!
Hurray!
Look at that group of rubbish.
The best's here.
Stupid.
There're a lot!
Yuma.
Yes?
Look at this.
What?
This pearl is huge!
This is fabulous.
The value of a pearl
is higher with a larger size right?
This may worth 100 billion yen.
100 billion?
That one is worth 100 billion yen right?
Mr. Mikiya,
it seems you're running short of money.
Single men like you won't understand.
No one wants to be lacking money.
So,
the more money I get, the better it is.
In other words,
the fewer people getting it, the more I get.
Am I right?
What happened to you guys?
You‘re completely different.
That's for sure.
After all, there's so much treasure.
Money's important to all of us.
It's pathetic,
you sacrifice teammates for money.
You...What do you mean?
I saw it clearly, Mikiya.
It's approaching!
Up there! Up there!
Close the door! Close the door!
You deliberately eradicated weak teammates.
Mr. Mikiya,
you're a malevolent person.
You aren't better than me!
Giving up useless crybabies.
Horrible.
Such a scumbag!
Hum? Hum?
Kankaeva,
no matter how skillful you are with an AK
it's unfavourable for you to fight within a short distance, right?
Wanna shoot us?
Do you have enough bullets?
Don't look down on me.
By the way,
when did you reload the guns?
Kankaeva!
Yuma!
senpai Mikiya!
Izumino, come over here.
Give me that.
Let's get out of this hell together.
Don't be fooled by him.
Yuma is abnormal now.
He'll kill you right away once you've given them to him.
Don't listen to them.
Come to me if you want to survive.
Guys please calm down!
Izumino!
Aren't we teammates?
Izumino, no!
Izumino!
This pearl...
This isn't a pearl.
It's an egg!
This size...
Crocodile?
No...
I told you not to come!
I'm here!
You‘re mad!
Do you wanna kill us?
Yes! Idiot!
Why?
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
Leave, revenge later, run now!
What's that?
(Another monster?)
Kankaeva, wait!
Wait! Mr. Ohtawara.
Yamazaki!
Mr. Ohtawara!
It nearly frightened me to death!
Let me go! Let me go!
Forgive me, Hiromichi.
Run!
How about Hiro!
Hurry! Carry him away!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Run!
Kankaeva! Don't leave me alone!
Kankaeva! Wait!
I can't make it, I can't!
Are you kidding me?
Hey! I'm here!
I'm here!
You hear me? I'm here!
Lucky.
This is a dream! This is a dream!
It must be a dream! It must be a dream!
It must be!
Don't blame me for not reminding you.
Sorry?
Run!
It's still chasing us!
No!
Run!
I'm full.
Mr. Buchiyama.
I operate No.2.
Stop it Mr. Ohtawara!
Here I go! Asshole!
You beast!
No Mr. Ohtawara!
Ohtawara, stop!
(You XXX XXX dumbass!)
Disappear!
The first time is a tragedy.
The second time is a comedy.
Human fool stories keep repeating.
Although stories related to obsessions happen all the time,
those who can't learn a lesson
may not exist.
We're the guardians of the path to our heart.
Those from the netherworld are about to come to life.
Before history is repeated and mistakes are committed again,
return,
return to where you come from.
