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" a special vehicles section
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
It is quite a work.
It has combined the traditions of tank design and the latest cybernetics.
But we have no battle fields to use it on.
If it was ready for Afghanistan...
A masterpiece lost in time?
But your country does have battle fields to use this on?
Maybe we do.
We are still living in the times after the cold war.
It's no wonder the red ghost appears.
We have a deal.
OUT OF CONTROL! THE RED LABOR?
How are you?
All right.
Someone's visiting?
They went straight into Captain's office
They're both dressed in black.
Men in Black?
What? You like that movie?
Yes, the first one.
The first one is always the best for the series movies.
I tend to like the second one.
A Russian made Labor for military purposes?
I understood what you've said
but it's not something we deal with.
I thought the extralegal activity was SV2's specialties.
Well, it's quite a misunderstanding.
We are legitimate public workers.
The other day,
your staff has performed illegal activity to guard Russia's top visiting diplomat.
You made us do it
through the director of Security.
So you cannot cooperate?
Don't deal with Public Security Bureau.
My former, who disappeared, said it's like gouging out his eyes.
His dislike of Public Security
was well known amongst us.
I think no police officers like
Public Security.
I'm sorry, not even serving a tea.
We don't have enough staff.
Captain Gotoda.
SV2 will have to deal with us.
Painful matters are eventually coming
from top to bottom, even if you resist.
It's something we cannot stop, isn't it?
She is the "Public Security"?
Yes. She is Captain Takahata.
The one who set up the single combat
between a Russian sniper and Kasha?
Yes.
I guess something bad will happen.
This is a message from grandma.
Gangut has arrived at Niigata West port.
Execution will be held at 8:00PM tomorrow.
My elbow...
Stupid me.
Bang.
Oh, my elbow...
I better stop it before.
To Niigata.
What?
You really mean it?
Yes.
Please excuse, sir.
Today is my grandchild's birthday.
Hey driver
you can see your grandchild another time
but you only have one life.
Can I get on express way?
Hachino?
You mean that Ichiro Hachino?
Yes, that Hachino.
The terrorist who besieged the convenience store
and arrested by your people.
Why is that arrested guy roaming around?
He ran away
while he was transfering from the jail to the Public Prosecutors Office.
Public Security let him escape to round up the syndicate he belonged to.
They waited for Hachino to contact the syndicate...
But he escaped at the moment he made contact.
That's the story.
He ran away from the scene
by beating the detective who followed him.
It is amazing.
And what do you want me to do?
I have got traces of Hachino.
He hijacked the taxi at Odaiba and went straight to Takasaki.
Then he stole a motorcycle
when the taxi ran out of gas.
He fled from the pursuing local police cars.
Maebashi, Yuzawa, Ishiuchi.
He drove recklessly ignoring all signals.
Two hours later in Uonuma city,
he pulled a dine and dash
then covered his traces.
He's making moves boldly despite the fact that he is a wanted criminal.
That means he may be under immense pressured.
His destination is Niigata port,
and he's already there and hiding.
But why Niigata?
Don't even pretend to forget.
Russian cargo ship Gangut
which carries that Red Labor
has arrived at Niigata's West port last night.
If he wants to hijack that Labor
and actually made it...
It's gonna be a catastrophe for the Security Bureau.
It's not just that.
If it's known to the public that a Russian ship
brought the military Labor into our land,
it is going to be a diplomatic issue.
Captain Gotoda,
I order you to send in SV2.
SV2 prepares for action at once.
We will notify the prefectural police.
I told you.
SV2 must deal with us.
This is the story,
so please you two take a tour of duty.
Only two of us?
If the whole unit goes there,
this place is going to be empty.
And this sensitive job is not suited to
hot—blooded Ohtawara and
straight—laced Mikiya.
I understand that but...
I will let Yamazaki carry the Labor later.
But Captain, we'll be facing
the Russian military Labor won't we?
RT—99 Pauk.
Original design was made during 80's in the middle of the cold war.
Travel unit is the same as other country's military Labors.
It is developed to walk on
uneven lands like mountains and debris,
but it can also work as
the Christie style wheel traffic.
Max armor thickness is about 50 mm
so it can't fight with Main Battle Tanks,
but it can fight with armored trucks or light infantry tanks.
It's armored with a 76.2 mm quick—firing cannon
and commonly—used 30 caliber in—vehicle machine gun, DShKM.
It's also equipped a grenade launcher in the back of turret.
Usage of that is for mop—out duty in the city
and to face guerrilla warfare
in the third world.
But it became a relic of the cold war.
After that the idea of military Labors
went on hold.
But if we fight with that kind Labor...
The 98 type's FRP armor is no use even with machine gun.
We'll be riddled.
Their Labor is in transit,
so you must not equip shot cartridges.
I agree.
I want to think so but...
If their Labor is equipped with shot cartridges...
Then what?
Run.
Hey look. Let's buy these for everyone.
What?
It's cute.
How can you be so excited?
Come on, we came this far.
Excuse me, can I take a picture?
Of me?
You two and my son together.
Sure.
Thank you. Cheese.
Thank you very much.
Bye.
Thank you very much.
Mom, who are they anyway?
Robot police officers.
Hmm. Are they robots?
No, they manipulate robots.
Children don't know about us.
It seemed so.
Thanks.
Thank you for coming this far.
Well...
What is it?
We are in uniform because you ordered,
but we are odd to this environment.
That's the point.
I want you to be in uniform to appeal to the public
that SV2, the security force
specializing in Labors, came to Niigata.
What do you mean?
Hachino is not the only one trying to
take the Red Labor
which Russia secretly shipped here.
What's this? It's an instant.
Place like this usually serves that.
Please continue our conversation.
During the cold war, harbor cities of the Sea of Japan side
where Russian ships come in were
the haven for foreign countries' spy activity.
And it still is the same.
Russian ship crews around here are mostly agents of the
foreign intelligence service, CBP
formerly KGB.
Those two guys are.
This one as well.
That English one eating seafood noodles
is SAS.
You must be kidding.
Those American tourists that just arrived
are all probably CIA agents.
That couple are NATO's local liaisons.
The stray dog crossing the road is Mossad's spy dog.
Here you go.
The lady who just brought my seafood bowl
may be an assassin of the People's Armed Police.
Kidding, right?
You must be tired so take a rest for today.
We have arranged the room.
Here's our lodging?
It seems Public Security Bureau doesn't have a fat budget.
Welcome to Yasui Inn.
Please have a tea.
Excuse me?
Yes.
Are we going to stay in the same room?
I only heard one night stay with two meals for two.
Is there one more room?
We are full today.
We just had a walk—in guest,
and that was the last vacant room.
But we are not in that kind of relationship...
Come on, it's just one night. OK?
Please have this.
Make yourself at home.
Oh well, we can't help it.
Come on.
What's this? What are you doing?
I put in a yen coin but it doesn't work.
Oh, this is the original TV channel.
It's a national treasure in the modern age.
Let me see.
It still works.
Good old noisy knob.
Noisy knob?
My grandpa had this one.
I've never seen this before.
Why you don't know this?
It doesn't come out.
Is it?
Don't we have mayonnaise or something?
No. Ask the madam.
It's too much of a bother.
More rice.
Do it yourself.
Come on. You are closer to the rice container.
What are you doing?
What?
Cucumbers.
I don't like it.
But you don't have to put it on mine.
Where else can I put them?
Just leave it on your plate.
I also don't like to leave it.
It's not my business.
Anyway, this meal could be better.
I think so too.
I expected gorgeous seafood from Niigata.
But the edamame is good.
Edamame is good but
we can't drink because we are on duty.
Stop complaining and just eat it.
I'm done.
What?
I'm going to take a bath.
What?
This isn't good.
What?
It hurts.
I must have got a bump.
This is Shiobara.
Hello Shiobara. You doing good?
What? Izumino hit you with a shogi piece?
What is this all about?
About that middle aged lady Kei...
Yes, Captain Takahata.
She‘s a hell of an imposter.
Third Public Security Division is specializing in Int'l terrorists.
So why have they got their nose into this case...
If you are in a tourist mood,
they'll let you do lots of unknown things.
Yes.
Yamazaki is?
Yes.
Roger. I'll be there right away.
Niigata West Port, East Dock.
Yo.
Ouch!
It hurts.
Ouch!
Idiot.
Who are you?
Who the hell are you?
What happened?
Why are you shooting?
What's going on?
I don't know.
Kill him.
Come on bastard. I'll kill you.
Damn!
Where is he?
Oops, now I've done it.
Good Lord. He's really hijacked it.
Don't be impressed. Let's follow him.
Got it.
From Shiobara to Captain.
Hachino is heading straight
to Tokyo in the Pauk.
Get ahead of him and join up with Yamazaki.
Don't let Hachino get to Tokyo.
Roger
Grab tightly, OK?
It goes as planned, Captain?
Let them follow the Labor,
and we start up.
Ouch! Don't touch me.
Mommy!
To headquarters.
The Labor on the run is...
Labor, stop right there!
Come on! Stop me!
From Toki 3 to headquarters.
The Labor opened fire on the
police officers at the scene.
Report the damage situation.
Route 7, near Kurinoki Bypass.
Roger. DC101 is smashed up.
OP's safety is unknown.
Roger
It's coming! Ready for fire.
Clear away!
To headquarters. We couldn't stop the Labor.
The Labor is recklessly heading to Niigata—Kameda Interchange.
We couldn't stop it.
To headquarters.
The Labor broke through a barricade
and still keeps running.
The Labor is heading to Niigata—Kameda and still running.
Nihonkai—Tohoku Expressway Niigata—Kameda Interchange
Outta my way!
I'm saying get out of my way, idiot.
Get out of my way, scum.
This road is mine.
Get the hell out of my way!
Kan—Etsu Expressway Akagi Kogen Rest Area
Begin the deck up.
Yeah.
Roger.
All serene.
Hachino's Pauk has passed Minakami.
We must stop him here.
Show the spirit, Akira!
But we are facing Labor built like a tank.
How do we stop it?
I have an idea.
I don't want to die.
Hey, you can't trust me that much?
Shiobara, can you hear?
Yes. This is Labor, Officer Shiobara.
You have no time to have a quarrel.
Ground Self—Defense Force's
forehand helicopter is in preparation for sortie.
Kisarazu's Cobra?
If you let it go through there,
Ground SDF will take position.
Listen. You guys are the Metropolitan
Police's frontline.
We will stop him.
Kan—Etsu Expressway Near Akagi Kogen Rest Area
Come on. My Labor is going to break.
Don't worry. Go fight baldly.
Are you really sure?
RT-99's rapid fire cannon is shallow in the angle of depression.
If you kneel at the foot of a hill,
The shell will pass right over your head.
He surpasses us in range, so we can only fight this way.
What about the on—board machine gun?
That is for air combat,
and the angle of depression is much shallower.
But...
Shut up and just do it.
Don't blame me for whatever the outcome is.
Oh, you can do if you really try.
Hey! My leg is completely broken.
So, the position became stable.
The amateur manipulated four—legged Labor's fire
can never hit you.
Aim the target precisely at ease.
This is a one—shot game, Akira.
Yuma!
It's coming!
Aim carefully.
Blow the wheel of the foreleg's tip.
Oh gosh!
You lied, Yuma!
Akira. Shoot at once.
Come on. Shoot!
Akira. Shoot now!
Energy charged percent.
Yes.
She‘s got it. She...
Why?
Yes!
She made it!
Aim at the target with ease?
I almost died!
Akira. Don't!
Don't shoot me.
What are you?
Stop it. Don't shoot!
Yuma!
Hold it!
You liar!
Come in.
Excuse me, sir.
Director! Are you OK?
What's the problem?
What do you want?
About the Niigata incident...
How it turned out?
Tokyo SV2 building, Captain's Office
Good job guys. You may receive
the certificate of appreciation.
I want a vacation instead.
Anyway that Public Security's
female Captain was a downy bird.
I thought it was odd to chase around a Labor that is a relic of the cold war.
But her real purpose was
using not only us but Hachino as well
to unmask the Russian mafia's
smuggling routes of weapons.
She has done well.
About my vacation...
Despite the Labor incident, she caught
the Russian mafias in one fell swoop.
The Prefectural Police and the Coast Guard,
both left behind, are outraged at her.
Vacation...
Anyway about Hachino,
his body was never found
at the scene.
He is a tough guy indeed.
Anyway you guys have done well.
Please return to the alert mission immediately.
Please gather up bills of expenses
as I give an assessment to Public Security today.
To Tokyo.
What?
You really mean it?
Yes.
Please excuse, sir.
I have an important horse race to bet.
Hey driver.
Races will be held another time,
but you only have one life.
