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.
Good morning, Captain.
What? You were playing game until the morning again’?
Because yesterday was so peaceful.
Izumo, beautiful moments
just pass away in a second.
What?
"Give up the book in your hands and go for a walk." Have you ever heard this?
I walk through the streets every day when I finish my work.
Game centers are not streets.
What the hell do you really want to say?
Just talking to myself.
"Give up the book in your hands and go for a walk."
Go for a walk.
Letter for Akira.
Thanks.
Reunion with high school classmates.
Don't glance at it.
Luxury barge in Tokyo Bay, sumptuos.
Cruise party.
You two go away!
"The Third Tsurumi High School Reunion notice"
"Tokyo Bay Reunion with high school classmates"
What this?
Recall your youthful memories?
I don 't have any youthful memories.
About Reunion,
meeting beloved senpais
or someone who rejected you,
everyone must have some youthful memories.
Right.
Such a special day of Reunion,
past emotions easily wake.
The two of you reveal your love to each other.
You get together for the whole night.
(The longer the distance, the stronger emotion)
What're you saying again?
The longer the distance between two people, the more they miss each other.
A reunion with former classmates is a happy thing,
but be careful don't fall into the hell.
Hell?
If I didn't meet her at that time...
senpai Osakeya.
Are your ex—wife and you...
No, that's my friend.
Your facial expression betrayed you.
Well is there really
such a dramatic thing within the Reunion?
How do you think? Wanna go?
I'll never go.
You‘re not confident?
What?
Girls you know are all becoming ladies,
and you remain unchanged.
I am not admonishing you.
Not because of such a boring reason.
So why?
No one I really wish to see.
You‘re afraid of those who you don't want to see?
No.
Why then?
Don't disturb me. I said I'll never go.
You‘re not cute.
Damn it.
Not cute?
How could I control labor if I'm cute?
Akira.
You‘re pesky, I'm not going to talk with you.
You‘ll regret if you don't go.
I'll never ever regret!
Are you going to police school?
This is my dream since I was a kid.
I must sit in the cockpit of a labor.
Why do you love labor so much?
It's strong, and gentle.
Gentle?
Gentle.
This seems what you'll say.
I don't know whether my dream could come true.
The exam seems difficult to pass.
It's seems really difficult to you
so I give you this.
What?
Take it. It helps you in passing the exam.
It's cute. Thank you.
You have to give me something when I have my exam.
I will.
I don't need an amulet.
Just celebrate for me when I pass.
Takato, you're too confident.
So strange...
Why are you laughing?
What?
Yuma, um.
What happened?
Nothing.
I'm fine.
Are you hungry?
No!
So why?
"Kou Takato, No title"
"Great! You get a pass!"
Thank you for your amulet.
What?
But I think you don't need to celebrate for me.
We'll change it to celebration for failing.
You must pass next year. You can do it.
Maybe...
Host of Division 2
Three patrols Finished duty, handing to Division 1
Hosts of Division 1
including Shota Formally accept the mission from now on
The Reunion held tonight.
Yes.
You're really gonna be absent?
I didn't reply that I wanna go.
It doesn't matter. I replied for you saying that you'll go.
What? Why the hell did you do that?
I've got night duty!
No one knows if you sneak out.
This is breaking the rules, if someone knows,
the matter will be hard to be disposed of by just writing a self—critical letter.
I'll tell others you got a stomach—ache.
What if something happens?
I can't come back when ever I want.
Every day is so peaceful, it's okay.
Just go and come back tomorrow.
Why do you want me to go, Yuma?
Actually...
I've got a Reunion too, next month.
You mean...you have to be on duty on that day too?
Yes,
for everybody's youthfulness, you must go.
Akira, just go.
When you're afraid that something's gonna happen,
time flies.
Right.
I could stay tonight as well.
No one's waiting for your return.
Damn you.
I'm serious, go, Akira.
But...
Just go, quick.
This is not for yourself only,
but to create a precedent for me.
Please!
Why are you so late?
I need time to get ready...
Hey, you've had this accessory before?
I'm gonna go.
Girls should be like this.
Where is Izumi going? She's got something to buy?
Well, she wants to buy cupnoodles, the engraved version.
Engraved version?
Memorable cupnoodles which taste youthful.
How do you feel about this? It's so nice.
You‘re pretty and look good in whatever you wear.
This looks cute
while this looks mature and elegant.
All of them are beautiful, it's hard to choose one, what do you think?
It's painful.
What...
That's not true...
Hello, Manami?
Akira, where are you?
At the pier.
What are you doing?
It's clearly written that the sail time is 7:00PM.
It was unexpected that changing clothes takes quite so long.
Just give me 5 minutes, okay?
Must be punctual.
Don't you know this as a police officer?
You two just find a place to drink.
We'll continue at 10PM when you're back.
You guys have to get together in the time being.
What do you mean by two? Who?
Whistle's calling me.
Takato?
You should have know earlier.
I've kept this pose for a while, embarrassed.
How could you miss it, careless as usual.
What...So are you!
N0, is Manami, asking me to wait for you.
What?
Not only because of this.
Actually...l'm often seasick.
Hah?
Helpless when I noticed that the Reunion is held on the boat.
But still, I have to come as we haven't see each other for a long time.
You look good.
And you, just like before.
Am I...?
No change, makes me feel comforted.
Takato, you look a bit different.
Six years, all human being will change.
So I‘m no human being? Incoherent.
You‘re not human being, Izumi.
You‘re a stupid little pig.
What're you saying?
The boat's gone.
Both of you missed it?
Yes.
Oh, when did you graduate?
Hana, the 34th graduation.
Hana? I've never heard of you.
The 34th is much more senior than us.
Be polite.
It's okay. We're all in the society, so never mind.
I'm Takato of the 42th. Kou Takato.
The 42th too. Akira Izumi.
I'm Ichiro Yoshita.
So, what to do?
What?
We've been to the pier already.
How about the three of us going somewhere?
— No, we both... — Agree!
Wait.
Let's go.
Youthful time flies. Just play at whatever you like.
What should we do now?
Hah?
What are you doing here?
Listen to your senpai.
You said you don‘t mind.
Anyway, go.
You‘re police?
Just a free department.
Her mind is not good.
She really worked so hard to get into the police school.
Hey!
So, how about you?
You may say I'm an entrepreneur.
A company doing foreign trading.
Oh, marvelous.
So...you're president?
Yea, you can say that.
Really? President?
You become president already, at a young age.
Nothing special, many people are just like me nowadays.
There are many students you start as entrepreneurs before they graduate.
You made entrepreneur as your target since you were a student?
Yea, it seemed more interesting than studying.
Really?
Value of the yen has dropped, earning more than expected.
What a young businessman.
Gorgeous.
No.
You‘re so humble, although you've been so successful.
I mustn't do this.
So what's your job?
Me? I'm a personal care assistant.
What do you actually do?
Take care of people in need.
It's important with the aging senior generations.
Different than your appearance, it's serious work.
Hey, it's meaningful.
But low expansion capacity.
Excues me. One more oyster.
Well, you thought about being an entrepreneur a long time ago.
Um...actually my dream was to be an actor.
Actor?
What? Takato you wanted to be an actor?
I worked hard in professional training school.
Then?
They said I'm not talented enough.
I never heard this before.
You never said you wanted to be an actor.
It's hard to tell.
Someone would laughing at me.
Only youthfulness is desirable, not money and nor talent.
Could I smile at such people?
Heard this before?
What's the meaning?
Nothing.
Winners are those who know well about what's suitable for them.
Really, you are so straight forward.
Cheers!
Come on.
Sorry, getting into a troublesome case.
Must be that long—winded old woman.
Case?
Izumo,
I'm going to Indonesia tomorrow.
Indonesia?
I've my own company there.
I've earned enough in Japan, and now I'm going to earn on the outside.
Marvelous.
Actually I didn't know whether I could come tonight,
But I'm leaving Japan soon...
So you're coming to say goodbye?
Not only because of this.
Say goodbye?
That's true.
This film.
There's a line in this film,
"Saying goodbye is just like dying once."
But actually the translation is wrong.
To say goodbye is die a little.
This, "a little".
I think it shouldn't be translated to "dying once".
Any different?
As translated to "dying once",
it seems like there's a chance of resurrection.
"Saying goodbye is just like dying, once".
Sounds like losing forever.
Yes.
I'm looking forward to this film.
Coming in May.
Shall we watch it together?
Yes.
May...We wouldn't be high school students anymore.
You‘ll be a student in police school,
and I'll be a university student.
It's sounds good.
Yes, we must be like this.
Hey! What're you guys writing?
Go!
Although I can't see the others,
it's nice to see you.
Takato.
Just kiding.
Hiromichi, you go and buy.
Yamazaki? He's there over the chicken house.
Well, I'll do it myself.
Do you want too, Osakeya?
No, I have to wait until I get last month's income.
There're still two weeks.
I paid the alimony yesterday, so I have to economized.
Saving as much money as possible.
You‘re losing the lawsuit.
Divorce is a torment.
Getting married is hell, and divorce as well.
If, at that time...l didn't go to the Reunion...
Metropolitan Police guard unit Emergency Center contact
201 occured in Nakano Egret Electronics.
- Shit! — What're you doing?
SV2, action.
Calm down...
Shit! No! No!
No what?
Really busy.
senpai Yoshita...He's...
What?
Nothing.
Drunk?
I just drank a little.
I can't be like this.
Drink until drunk tonight.
No, actually...l have night duty tonight.
I have to go back when everything is over.
"It's too early to drink a Gimlet", right?
What?
Nothing.
The food you ordered, an oyster platter.
Come on! Don't be shy.
Thanks, but I don't like oysters.
Me too.
We broke up like this, at that time.
What?
I've been waiting for a chance to apologize.
It's okay. No big deal.
You wore this?
I thought you threw it away.
This...lt doesn't mean anything.
Because I don't have any other accessories, so I picked this.
And these clothes are newly brought, so...
Quickly get ready.
Yes sir!
I drive No.1, it's the only choice.
You‘ll be the Commander.
I can't.
Why? Hiromichi, you'll do it.
Damn it! Anyway I'll drive.
Where did Shigeru go?
He's enjoying his vacation.
So, Fuchiyama you'll be the commander.
Yes sir! Start the transport and get ready to launch the labor.
You can't do this.
We'll get in trouble if someone knows! Don't do this!
Why? Everything will be fine. Let me go!
Shiota.
You...What're you doing over there?
Notify SV2.
201 in Nakano Egret Electronics was false alarm...
Remove 601 now, repeat...
Off alert immediately.
Oh yes, Shiota.
I asked you what're you doing up there?
Izumo, you're gorgeous.
You‘re doing Patlabor well.
Am I doing well?
But, I'm really just sitting on a labor.
Very strong, and what?
Very strong and gentle.
Your feelings didn't change after you were up there?
Stronger than expected, and more gentle.
Your dream has come true.
Takato, you also succeeded in your career.
In just six years,
both of us experienced it very differently.
Of course.
As time passes, everyone changes.
You will pass the exam next time. Don't worry.
Maybe...
I'm serious.
Failing once doesn't mean your life is done.
Sounds good.
Because you're not the one who failed.
Nice to be a woman without worries.
What?
You‘re thinking about it right?
Getting married and becoming a housewife in the future.
I'll be angry if you're serious.
You‘re to careless and hard to be a police officer.
I must be sitting right on the labor.
It's easy to say, how can you do the police work.
Don't be angry with me
just because you failed, okay?
I understand your feeling,
but you can't give up on yourself.
Opinionated.
What?
You think you're above others, so you can look down on them.
What're you saying.
Izumi, you're always high above.
Please don't force others to accept your values.
Tiring.
What did you two say?
Let's move to the next station.
No, we gotta go.
We gotta go.
Don't leave so early, stay with me until morning.
Oysters.
Excuse me.
Fine. Go.
Hah? How about senpai Yoshita?
Just leave him. Go.
Wait.
I don't want to stay with that uncle.
You‘re so mean to call him an uncle.
Although he really looks old...
What should we do now? Where should we go?
The boat is coming back.
I guess...not yet?
Yes, the name list of victims is found.
And the accomplice as well.
Understood. I'm going to arrest him.
Is that the boat?
Maybe, faster than expected.
It's time to go.
You join them.
Manami and Takeda have come.
No, I'm not going.
But...
No, really, I'm not going.
I would like to know the reason that makes you give up your dream of being an actor.
You‘re asking why...Because...
Because becoming an actor is not the only way to sell this dream,
so I've choosen another way to sell this dream.
Earning a lot in the real world.
senpai Yoshita?
Mr. Kou Takato,
We suspect that you're related to a fraud case.
What?
I'm sorry. Actually I'm not a graduate from your school.
I'm Yoshita from SB3.
I was telling a lie.
Takato, what have you done?
No, I did nothing...
He sold fakes online,
selling cheap accessories as luxury products to make money.
Tricking people as he's handsome as well.
It's a defamation. There must be something wrong.
— They didn‘t investigate well. — We've investigated everything.
Be honest.
Using dirty tricks,
you noticed that the police were paying attention to you, so you decided to go away,
going to Indonesia.
Are you in league with him...
Izumi knew nothing.
Uehara, who's your accomplice, said that you would come here tonight.
I was waiting for the evidence.
What're you doing?
— Takato! — Stay away!
Takato, don't do this.
Please, forgive me.
I'll not let you go.
Let me go!
Be honest!
Mr. Yoshita, what's the matter?
— Mr. Yoshita Sir, — I... stomach ache
Let me go!
The oysters...
What?
Officer Izumi.
Catch him...right now.
Damn it.
Okay.
Stand up.
Can I ask you one thing?
What's the dream you sold?
The beautiful dream of "saying goodbye is just like dying once"?
Expected that you didn't watch it.
Officer Izumi, you did a good job.
Mr. Yoshita, I'm...
I heard from someone,
you're pilot of a labor in SV2.
Your captain told me.
Short hair, careless girl.
Right, and is his best team member.
Careless...lt's so mean...
My stomach...
I didn't get it wrong, you're really a cop.
When did you discover this?
You said case,
a care assistant won't use such words...
Only police will.
I was careless.
Oh yes...
What?
I'm not going with you, okay?
The one who caught Takato is you.
I can't go with you.
Actually I'm on duty...
So, you mean...
I snuck out. I'm so sorry.
Oh my god
you snuck out from duty.
You ate oysters!
You‘re on duty, but you were eating oysters.
Yes, I ate quite a few. They were delicious.
You didn't get a stomach ache?
Actually, I don't like oysters.
We're even now.
Thank you.
Thanks for your help.
Officer Izumi, I will be back on duty now.
You‘re hesitating.
It's Yuma.
Why can't it be me?
Oh, nothing.
Good then just writing a self—critical letter is okay.
You say this? It's your fault.
We're lucky when being unlucky.
My god, I shouldn't have gone.
Reunion next month seems impossible.
Like what Osakeya said, maybe absent is better.
Really?
I'm serious.
Why so slow?
I need time to get ready...
Hey, you've had this accessory before?
I'm gonna go.
How do you feel? Happy?
I'm really sorry.
If you want to give up with the books in your hands,
the first thing you have to do is study well.
For example, "Terayama",
or "De Chandler", "Shinran"
What did he say?
God knows.
SV2.
201 occuring in Matsubaraachikita Setagaya.
Emergency. Get ready to 601.
— Repeat. — Akira, go.
I'm going.
Akira, take him in once.
Okay,
system is normal, finished.
Can go.
Akira.
I'm ready.
Not about this.
What? It's emergency.
I have to say, you're actually a girl.
Of course, idiot!
No.1, out.
There's a line in the film...
"Saying goodbye is like dying once"
That was a good film.
How can I forget?
