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 a matter of survival is in question, this is the story of...
struggling days of the third generation
Is it the SV2?
There is a bomb.
Yes, it's a bomb.
Yes.
It will explode when it's the right time.
Me? I am nobody.
Just a bomb freak.
Akira is having Summer break tomorrow?
Yea.
Where are you going?
I will have Watermelon Splitting at the beach.
Split the melon? Grow up!
Oh, who's it?
What, what did it say?
It's says there's a bomb.
A bomb?
Where is the bomb?
In the SV2.
Who?
Nobody.
He said "bomb freak".
He's fooling us. They did it before.
What if it's real...
It's a joke.
A joke.
Anything else?
It will explode when it's the right time.
What, explode?
Shit, there is a bomb.
I told you it could be real.
There won't be enough time even if we believe it.
That's true.
"Time bomb"
Operating.
Battery is back.
The voltmeter is fine now.
Fine!
The powerplant is fine.
Though it's strong,
fortunately the damage is small.
It's huge.
The cottage has been ruined.
It will take a long time
till they lay eggs again.
Don't worry, everybody will help.
Stop crying like a sissy.
Oh please Mr. Ohtawara.
Hiro has had enough.
It's ok, Hiro.
We'll have cup noodles if not eggs.
That's not comforting.
But if he...
What?
He called right before the bomb exploded.
That's not a usual prediction.
There wasn't enough time to do anything.
He intentionally picked a less affected area.
It's not a usual type of bomb either.
What does that mean?
The Sergeants Office's analysis
may find it out.
Just tell us what you think.
It's more like a bomb scare than a prediction.
A bomb scare?
It's not just a joke,
that, they want us to know and hence the warning.
So it's...
It will come again.
Because of the explosion,
we're on alert against intrusion
of anyone suspicious.
Don't let the unknown in. Don't talk to them.
The Maintenance Team will take frequent turns.
There will be patrol 24/7.
As for holidays, wait till it gets cold.
Dismiss.
My summer break is over.
Does it matter?
What's with the alert thing?
I can't imagine how he gets in.
It's just us in this open area. He can't hide when he comes.
He can when it gets dark.
Actually he did.
But it won't be easy now
with the patrol at night.
Does it work really?
What do you mean?
Maybe he doesn't have to sneak in to plant the bomb.
You're saying... I don't get it.
Can it be...
No way!
You guys, keep it short.
I'm saying, no more sneaking in, no more bomb planting.
It has been planted somewhere.
What?
If I were the guy,
I wouldn't take another risk.
Meaning... there will be another explosion?
So captain...
Has noticed it of course.
What else to say except increased vigilance?
So there can be an explosion all of a sudden?
We don't know where the bomb is.
Bomb!
Are you nuts?
We can't leave, can we?
Of course!
For god sake, we are cops.
But I don't get it.
What?
Why the SV2?
He should have picked a more superior department.
Bullshit! Wait... you're right.
Exactly, why us?
Terrorists usually target the guard unit.
It makes sense.
They should have picked the Sergeants Office,
or whe're the Patrol Labor station,
or just assassinate the Minister guard.
God knows why...
I'll say he bloody hates the SV2.
That's not possible.
What is so hateful about some harmless robots?
Perhaps he hates the Labors.
Then screw the Labors.
You‘re right.
The SV2 may disband at any time.
Why place the bomb here?
What you said is pesimistic
but it's right.
He must be mad. Who calls himself a bomb freak?
He is delusional.
If things are like what Ohtawara you said,
that abnormal criminal might...
What?
He might call again.
How is it possible?
Right.
I know I wouldn't.
Go Mr. Mikiya!
Me?
Go!
Don't worry.
Pick it up, really?
Hello it's the SV2.
So now you believe.
If you believe then I'll let you know.
What is that supposed to mean?
In ten seconds it will explode over here.
What?
What did he say?
What?
What did he say?
Where?
Come on!
He has it planted long ago.
Why didn't you say anything?
Because I wasn't sure.
I didn't want to cause chaos.
But now it's confirmed.
What?
It's just for fun. No specific intention.
ExacHy.
It's meaningless and lousy.
Just to fool us.
It's over, isn't it?
It'd better be.
I don't think this is it, for all his hard work.
Captain... no evacuation really?
Cops don't run just because of some stupid bomb.
Despite all,
given the criminal's character,
there won't be sudden explosions.
Why don't we talk to the Sergeants Office?
We don't want the Sergeants Office thinking that we are causing trouble.
Captain.
For what? We don't know where the bomb is.
It won't help.
That's true.
Hey it's the SV2.
That was strong, wasn't it?
What is... your motive?
If you take me seriously,
I have things to tell you.
We are listening!
I'll give you one hour from now.
Find where I've dropped it.
Meaning... there will be another explosion in an hour?
Exactly an hour.
Good luck.
Search everywhere in the SV2.
Listen! Look thoroughly.
Even the most unlikely place.
You have only one hour.
— Off you go. - Starting from now.
Yes.
I should go. I'll hand it over to you.
Captain.
I'm kidding.
Listen, don't miss a corner!
Yes.
Hurry up!
Yes.
Nothing.
That's tedious.
Sorry.
Stop messing around, do your job!
Look for the bomb, you understand?
Do your job, find the bomb, get it?
Any discovery?
No?
Anything?
No.
Anything?
No.
And that's why your wife leaves you.
You have these in your locker too.
Not the same.
The day I was sent here,
I knew I'm stuck,
God knows when it'll be done.
Soon. Once it explodes.
Don't touch my locker without my permission.
Look at this. Tidy it up.
All these toys and game consoles.
You do know your job right?
You stay! I haven't finished.
Is it here?
God no, tidy it right now.
Hey, hang on!
It should be it.
Stop! Wait! Oh it hurts.
As if you never put random stuff
in your locker!
Don 't touch it. It's the Grenade for training.
Why is this thing here?
cause I like it!
Are you kidding? When will it explode?
Put it away. It's the MP5 model gun.
It's my favorite. Don't break it.
Be careful. Don't break my stuff. Alright.
You‘re stepping on it. Look, it's broken.
I'm sorry.
Sorry isn't good enough. Be careful.
— (Russian) Idiots. — You did so too just now.
I didn't break anything.
Go find the bomb. Move!
What's this thing?
It says don't open it.
Careful. Take it slow.
Gosh, it's scary.
What are these?
Quite a collection here.
It's out of print now.
Nito—yuko's swimsuit gravure.
The legendary Yui—asaka's photo album.
Men are men.
And they hide them here.
Look, it's hot.
— There could be more. — Keep digging.
Good idea.
Look everywhere, including the ground.
I knew it's here.
Really it's here.
Holy—moly.
What?
Holy—moly.
Stop it. Look!
Monitor...
Oh you know I'm here.
You idiots! What stupid thing are you
doing at this critical moment?
These stupid magazines!
I wanna kill you, idiot!
Shame on the SV2!
This is the SV2.
Sorry for interrupting. But time's up.
What?
It will explode in ten seconds.
In ten seconds?
He says explosion.
This one?
You dumbasses! All gone.
The out of print one is gone. No...
We're screwed in such a shitty way.
Such dirty work he did.
Just like a certain group of idiots.
The frustrating part is that it's the criminal's call.
He plays it as he likes.
It's a miracle that it's not badly hurt.
But... everyone has been evacuated.
The criminal can't continue his plan.
We can't stay forever though.
I'm hungry.
Somebody get some food.
Ok.
It's not time to eat. It‘s not a picnic.
Make it a picnic. I'll get us something to eat.
I'm going with you.
Me too.
So many of you?
What's going on?
— Keep the receipt, Kasha. — Thanks.
Alright.
They have to pee.
You insensitive old man.
Think they're gonna pee anywhere?
Those are girls.
Shut up.
Like a picnic. Sounds good to me.
Welcome.
I'll have two fried noodles.
Ok.
Come here, Mr. Ohtawara. It's a nice view.
Captain, is it ok if we hang around?
It's fine. No one is doing anything.
The criminal can't do anything unless we do.
In this game, you move, you lose.
Oh I get it.
If we want to get back the initiative, we have to play it like that.
Ok, let's go.
Keep moving. To the left, to the left.
The left?
Keep moving forward. Forward.
Isn't it close?
Not there yet, just move.
Really? Not yet?
I say move!
Can't believe the SV2 got bombed.
I'm sorry for all the senpais who have passed away.
What's the criminal's motive?
Who are happy seeing the SV2 get bombed?
It could be insiders.
He's right.
Only insiders could come
and plant so many bombs.
Must be a SV2 hater.
Captain.
Yes?
For the record, I am not displeased with the SV2.
What?
Keep moving, not there yet, just move!
That far? Oh man.
Left. Left. We're close.
Here?
It's not well paid.
I have no personal time.
And I have no social life.
I can barely get enough sleep.
And goodbye to your friends.
With no career prospect.
Alright you've made it so clear.
Buchiyama! It must be you.
No! I can't possibly... It hurts!
Ha, I haven't seen you. You must be the bomb freak.
Actually, I am Tokui who's here since April.
It's you! You are the bomb freak. I'll beat you up.
No, it's not me, really.
Come help!
Right there.
- It's here? — Yes.
Really? I'm coming.
I got it man!
The phone!
— Get up Mr. Ohtawara. — Let's go Mr. Mikiya.
Help!
Where?
Why is there a phone?
There can be emergency. A phone is a must.
Go Mr. Mikiya.
Go.
Hello, it's the SV2.
Hey it's me, your captain.
What are you doing?
Nothing... we're having a picnic.
It's not that.
Why are you doing it here?
First the uproar then the evacuation.
Why do you think it's safe here?
You‘re saying...
Are you gonna shoot us?
Are you out of your mind?
Does bomb freak shoot?
You‘re surpised, I assume.
How many... bombs have you planted?
More than you can imagine.
Captain.
It's not possible
to bury land mines near the hangar.
He did it on purpose.
Obviously he's doomed too.
But if we're stuck in this stalemate...
He's troubled.
Not us.
We are idling, right?
Yes we are, but...
Look, captain.
Lie down!
What?
Looks like he's taking action.
Anybody?
Anybody? Anybody?
Where are they...
Anybody?
Anybody??
Catch him. Don't let him run.
Alright, off we go!
Catch the guy.
You gotta sign.
Should we... call the Sergeants Office?
If it isn't it,
they won't trust us again.
Captain.
I am innocent.
I ran because you did. Look at you! Anyone would run.
He's the only one in sight.
I have nothing to do with this.
I'm here to deliver.
Just sign.
Anyway, open it.
Everybody, get away.
— Hey, sign for me. — Stay away,
— Please just sign. — Akira. Run!
Hey, you've received
EOD training right?
It's a foundation course.
I had no experience.
Me neither. I have only removed motors.
Shall we try it out?
Stop hesitating. I'll assist you.
I need non—magnetic tools and knives.
Tools, go get them.
Finally!
The screws on the fixed container is a scam.
Touch it and it will explode.
The switch and the mercury thing too.
The whole bomb is a scam.
There is only one real switch.
A bomb is to be set off
anywhere
and anytime.
You have to detonate a bomb in a designated place
and at a designated hour.
It won't explode if these conditions aren't met.
A bomb only counts as a successful bomb,
when it fulfills these requirments
and with everything under control.
But, what we got here
isn't made in a usual way so it's not a qualitified bomb.
This bomb is much more risky.
It's super easy to launch the detonation program.
It will surely explode unless a specific removal method is adopted.
To conclude,
Without prior experience and great skill,
it is impossible
to remove an irregular bomb.
The last thing we should do
is to handle the bomb in person.
We should run
and keep a distance from it.
To guarantee our personal safety is the only way out.
Looks like so.
Call the Sergeants Office. The bomb is right here.
It will be too late when they arrive.
We should find a shelter.
Just let the hangar got demolished?
It's either the hangar or us!
(Russian) Quiet!
Is it the SV2?
There is a bomb.
Yes, it's a bomb.
It will explode when it 's the right time.
Me? I am nobody.
Just a bomb freak.
So now you believe.
If you believe then I'll let you know.
In ten seconds it will explode over here.
If you take me seriously,
I have things to tell you.
I'll give you one hour from now.
Find where I've dropped it.
Exactly an hour.
Good luck.
You‘re surpised, I assume.
More than you can imagine.
Kasha!
We've been fooled. It's a lie.
The real one is in the car.
You are the bomb freak!
What do you want? Don't touch it.
I'll take care of it. You run!
Yuma!
Stay away.
Everybody, run!
To the seaside, Yuma!
Drop the car in the water.
How can he hear you? He must be mad.
Yuma!
Mr. Shiobara!
Yuma! Yuma!
Yuma!
And here's the news story.
An explosion happened today in the
special vehicles section of the Metropolian Police in Otaku, Tokyo.
A man who claimed to be a "bomb freak" was arrested
and sent to the Gulf Coast Metropolitan Police.
16 were injured.
A crew member from the SV2 was hospitalized.
The other 15 were mildly hurt.
The self—proclaimed "bomb freak" was caught on the spot.
His address, name, age and occupation
were unknown
and so was his motive.
There were rumours like
someone wanting the
SV2 to disband.
It is speculated to be committed by insiders.
The head of the Metropolitan Police clarified in front of the press
that there is no such internal affair.
An explosion happened today in the special vehicles section
of the Metropolian Police in Otaku, Tokyo.
How did it happen?
Really sorry for Mr. Shiobara.
They'll honour him in some way.
No one will sympathize with someone who recovers in two weeks.
He never gives his all.
This moron... is always so hasty.
We still can't figure out
the freak's motive.
How is that even possible?
No address, name, age, occupation or nothing.
It's like he never existed before.
He said so.
Said what?
He said he's nobody. Just a bomb freak.
You smoke like a chimney, Kasha.
Meaning?
Don't worry.
We should make ourselves happy when we're alive.
Oh yeah?
It scared me to death.
Uh—huh.
Fortunately it's over.
The SV2 and I are not destined to die after all.
Uh—huh.
The criminal planted bombs around the SV2.
According to the testimony, there were six of them.
It is believed to be a planned crime.
— Six places? — The criminal remains silent
about his way of intrusion
and the sources of those bombs. — That's the first,
— The police believe that — the second...
it's a plot by organized crime that needs further investigation.
third... fourth... fifth...
How about the sixth?
Hey, it's not warm enough.
Ok.
I'm in heaven.
