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
How? Like this? What?
Do the stretching.
Stretching?
How? How? Like this? How about this?
Is Krachevna here?
No, she's not here.
Where is she then?
She‘s practising at the Labor bay.
Stretching...
Stretching, right?
You look decent, Krachevna.
Just feel free to smoke.
Captain asked me to let him see you anyway.
See me?
So I come and pick you up.
No smoking there?
Of course.
Mr Gotoda, and
Ekaterina Krachevna Kankaeva
register.
This is Mr Takahata from Public Security Foreign Affairs Division 3.
Hello, I am Takahata.
(Kei Takahata, Public Security Security Foreign Affairs Division 3)
I heard that Foreign Affairs Division 3
is designed to deal with cases of terrorists.
We were strongly urged by the Ministry of Public Security to
hand over the investigation of this case to SV2.
Someone should explain that.
Of course.
This is the video of the murder of a Russian official a few days ago?
Successor of Foreign Ministry of the Russian government,
Boris Ivanov Godot.
Although the broadcast video has been edited,
the bullet hit him in the head, through the roof, and killed him.
Actually I watched the full video,
it's on Youtube and NikoNiko.
It's so great. The Escort Division lost face because of it.
Enough.
Unbelievable. It's a rifle assassination.
Unexpected.
Such case hasn't appeared in Japan's History.
This scene should only appear in movies and comics.
Helpless even for Metropolitan Police.
The issue's hasn't ended yet.
What do you mean?
The successor of Boris will come and visit Japan.
He's the new successor since Boris was killed.
Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovski.
The name sounds unreal.
But this is the reality.
I would like to entrust you in protecting him.
You want me to protect him?
Unexpected that Labor can help you.
Not asking SV2,
just Krachevna.
Why Krachevna?
Special requirement from them.
They're FSB?
They don't believe in the ability of Japanese police.
It's simple.
They think that in a strange place,
it's hard to prevent assassination.
That's it.
Why Krachevna?
We don't know.
I guess it's because Krachevna
has a high evaluation among them.
I've got a reqest.
Request?
Although you're from FSB,
you aren't an exchange.
Being a cop of Metropolitan Police,
you can treat this as an order.
I've got a reqest.
Pay me 500 thousands first.
Import to the specific account in Switzerland, right?
What!?
Gotoda!
Just joking.
To keep the target safe,
there's two methods.
What're they?
Absolute isolation of the sniper from the target.
Not only security equipments indoor,
even for cars should be bulletproof.
According to the video just played,
what the sniper used is estimated to be
a .50 caliber anti—materiel rifle,
even penetrated an armored car.
Equipment we have are not enough.
What I mean by absolute isolation
is asking him to cancel his visit to Japan.
Impossible.
The police are not confident to protect you so don't come.
You want us to talk to him like this?
Doing this is like making a fool
of the Metropolitan Police.
Impossible to do this.
Give it up.
What's another method?
The only way
to deal with the sniper, is by interdicting his action,
which is anti—sniper.
Anti—sniper?
In Afghanistan and Bosnia,
when local security forces face attacks from guerrilla,
they contend successfully by anti—sniper.
This is Japan, not a battlefield.
Just differences on point of views and perspectives.
Last, US president said that
anti—terrorism is actually a war.
Who's last president?
He means Bush?
Which Bush?
Useless one.
I heard that you had sniper training in FSB,
and you got full marks.
Please allow me
to carry and use weapons.
Therefore
Krachevna will join this special mission.
Until the mission is completed,
which means the time when Ivanovski leaves Japan,
she's not on duty in our team.
So... who's going to command No.2?
Good question, Shiohara.
Who's here except you?
Oh no...So...
Before the end of the case,
you need to stay here and on duty.
This is not a case,
"Here" is not criminal division.
Krachevna come with me, others can go.
Ah~~
Don't cry if you're a man.
I'll buy food for you.
No cupnoodles.
All right.
By the way, why was Krachevna chosen?
Because it's required by Russia.
But why Krachevna?
The Russian FSB
will also send a group of bodyguards,
FSB's her hometown.
Or I should say, she's the ace of FSB even now.
That old man called Ivanovski...
He's a great man of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The one before him was just killed.
He dares to come to Japan?
Maybe he's got important things to discuss.
Many people from Foreign Ministry were under KGB.
So they'll be assassinated?
Maybe radical nationalists want to subvert the existing system.
old forces of the Communist Party possible too.
Unfortunately, identity of the sniper is remained unknown.
I think it must be that person.
Who?
Golgo.
Really?
Hello, SV2.
Captain, what? Shioda?
Ah~~
Come in.
Excuse me.
This is the information about the assassination.
I want you to check for me.
It is a .50 caliber point.
Where was the bullet?
Backseat of the deformed Luxury car.
The car was seriously damaged, it was hard to find.
Must die in this shooting.
So they found the bullet in an entire pool of blood that
contaning brains and skull fragments.
What?
Identification Bureau's grateful, I could never do that.
Can be as wonderful as CSI.
What do you want from me?
Help to see which gun was used.
For .50 caliber bullets.
Excuse me.
It could be Barret or McMillan Tao—50.
Arch if it's made in UK.
But if they're Russian terrorists,
it should be this one.
You mean KSVK made in Russia?
Although it is developed by using SVN
as an experimental model,
They will not use a bullpup when requiring high accuracy.
or a Gepard made in Hungary.
You watch too much Japanese animation.
It's difficult to infer gun specs by a bullet.
Well, at the least, the shell is needed.
Here's the shell you want.
Where did you find it?
CSI.
Metropolitan Police needs faces.
By the dead body and bullet hole,
they calculated the approximate position and angle,
and locked the roof of those buildings.
Sent out general mobilization for searching.
The sniper's unprofessional to leave a shell there.
I heard that it was found in a gutter,
so I guess he just left it to make sure of his retreat.
So looks like an ordinary .50 BMG.
Oh yes, could you enlarge it?
You feel there's something suspicious too?
Yes, indeed, the tail ring of the shell
will leave traces when the bolt ejects,
but how could it be like this?
Maybe...
Right! It's possible!
Research Armaments Industries
.50 caliber?
Because ammunition is directly plugged into the bolt,
pressure towards the bolt might create such indentations.
Like CSI
we've got a huge database,
it can certainly be inferred.
It's just a fictional story.
Krachevna, you've got some ideas?
Someone sent a package to Krachevna.
All right.
By the way, Shiobhara,
do you have other interests apart from firearms and the military?
Of course, like I'm interested in females.
Are you? I'm relieved.
If you're even not interested in this, your life's done.
Ok. Opened.
Who's the sender sending such a big package?
Courier company?
When I was feeding Sachiko,
a black car came,
and a man dressing in black got out,
asking me to give it to Krachevna.
Who's that man?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Captain always say not to receive anything from strangers.
What if it contains bombs?
Don't say this...
Wah!
Look! Wow!
Wow! Cool! This is an SVD?
[Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova]
SVD
It's Dragunova.
Who sent this?
It's real?
AK received last time as well.
This should not be a forgery.
You gonna use it to deal with RA! Model 500?
Actually I would like to use guns like Barret,
but I couldn't use it by my own.
Will you do Zeroing with me?
Target's set, ok.
Right side 3 times and upper 10 times.
Feeling good to have perfunctory work at this moment.
The gun's really powerful, are we really gonna use it?
They don't like us to use them, but they have no choice for this mission.
Both Japanese police and SWAT have Remington 700's.
Don't look down on a Russian military sniper rifle.
No, it's made by former Soviet Union.
Metropolitan Police won't publicly permit us to use it.
Why?
It means, everyone's happy if mission completes successfully.
But if there's any mistakes,
Krachevna and the captain are gonna take the responsibility.
It's honest.
They're so mean.
It's not necessory to use that.
We can use Labor's left cannon.
The whole building will be wiped out.
It's overkill to send out a Labor.
The problem is...
What's the problem?
What? Detected their position, excuse me.
What're they doing?
They're doing Zeroing.
Zero what?
Not Zero what, is zeroing.
As sight through the front sight
is different than the real position where it is shot, so they're adjusting.
This process is called Zeroing.
Actually,
calculations on hanging time and wind direction are needed during Zeroing.
Also, temperature and humidity of the environment
may slightly affect ammunition.
All these factors should be considered.
So complicated.
Physical conditions and shooting habits of gunners have impacts has well.
It's hard to hit the target by using another's gun.
Therefore, Zeroing must done by the gunners themselves.
Everything's done by indirect fire.
One shot, one kill.
What snipers long for is one shot only.
Indirect fire also hits target.
These shoots are pretty good.
That's it for today.
I want 6 more shoots.
Direct distance is around 1000 to 1500m,
or further away.
It's super long distance shooting,
and the opponent's got advantage on advantage with a .50 caliber.
Ms Krachevna, captain called you.
Krachevna, you can leave for your thing.
Thanks.
It's a man's lighter?
Someone gave it to you?
I stole it.
Come in.
Excuse me.
Ms Takahata said
you've got new information to tell.
It's information from Russia.
Schedule of Ivanovski?
Yes, and also information about the sniper.
It's not clear enough.
How about this one?
Enlarged CCTV picture,
and when compare it with the information of FSB. We finally found.
Can't you make it clearer?
Just like CSI.
It's a fictional story.
[Sergey]
It seems you know him.
I start to understand why Russia
recommended you.
[Sergey Stephanovich Togo]
Russian, former KGB,
and was a sniper.
After breakdown of Soviet Union,
he quit.
Then, he became the instructor in FSB school to train snipers.
So this man was your master.
Master?
What a horrible message.
He resigned and disappeared.
Being a free sniper-for-hire now.
His relationship with criminal groups such as the Russian mafia
is pretty close.
Really like Golgo.
Not "really like".
Do you know how intelligences of other countries called him?
They called him "Red Golgo".
(It's contraband to sniper)
(Quit it, Krachevna)
All right.
Golgo~ Thirteen~
Don't be crazy.
No one trust even if the issue spreads.
Just like cartoon character comes to the reality.
Because he's called Red Golgo.
What's his name?
Sergey
Sergey Stephanovich Togo
What's the relationship between Krachevna and him?
Relationship? He was Krachevna's master.
They were called "genious sniper and his beautiful student".
Both of them are Russian.
You must have heard this before.
No, I didn't.
It's a common plot.
Krachevna's rarely nervous.
Sure enough!
What messy thing you're thinking?
Say if...
Sergey is married,
his wife is a fat woman with weight over 100g,
and he has to eat rubbish cooked
by this fat woman every day.
When they sleep on the same bed,
she'll talk about how much is needed for decorating their house.
The bed is gonna to break by his wife again,
he's like sleeping on a rump every night.
Right.
Difference on weight becomes a factor leading to risk of marriage.
Life is boring and without passion.
Sudden appearance of Princess Ekaterina.
Both of them appreciate each other
and they fall in love which turns into a taboo relationship.
Krachevna! Sergey!
Shojo manga 20 years ago?
There was such a manga about ballet called "Arabesque".
Not popular nowadays. BL's everywhere now.
What's BL?
Uncle doesn't need to know.
This taboo relationship gone along breakdown of Soviet Union
and the cold war.
The two people were being apart.
With identities of terrorist and cop,
they meet again.
It's "Arabesque" of dead and alive.
What're you doing.
Don't stand behind me.
Well.
We're here...
You guys are not a match.
Do you really wanna go?
The flight arrives at Haneda Airport tomorrow morning.
I've got no time.
But you don't even know how to go against him?
Anti—sniper is what should be done first.
Like imagine you're in the enemy's character.
Like profiling of criminal.
If I was him, where will I hide?
When is the time to shoot?
If the place he's gonna hide has been figured out...
We can deploy to ambush him.
Will you really shoot him?
A little hesitation can kill you when dueling with a sniper.
He mustn't hesitate.
Or else I'll follow you and help you.
Not necessary.
Why?
You said the opponent is advanced.
If I fail, he'll kill you too.
But...
You don't know how to use a rifle, do you?
You can't help although you'll go with me.
Anyway,
Thank you.
Krachevna.
(Don't stand behind me!)
Golgo~ Thirteen~
(Snipers need special courage)
(They have to be brave in critical thinking)
(Terrified alone)
(and hesitating alone)
(The only power that supports snipers)
(is to trust themselves to make the best choices in the mission)
(So snipers won't tell others anything about their mission)
(They don't have someone to talk to as well)
(They have to think alone, terrified alone)
(and hesitating alone)
(Locking target through the sight)
(No one knows what will happened to themselves)
(Finally, in real warzones)
(they'll find whether they're professional)
(Therefore, don't hesitate! Krachevna)
(Don't hesitate! Krachevna)
Target left 03
and now moving to southeast.
Headquarter gets it, or 4 over.
Anything abnormal?
Target left (14, everything's normal.
Headquarter gets it.
I don't know where the sniper will hide this time.
If he's the legendary sniper...
Any contact from Krachevna?
Since she left SV2 yesterday,
we haven't had any contact from her.
Just like usual.
You‘re pround of her?
She‘s an enigmatic woman.
So are you.
Teams like us,
exchange people like Krachevna,
how confident are you to use us?
What do you mean?
That Ivan,
doesn't have loyalty to the current regime like the one before him,
willing to do everything.
He's all in.
He'll secretly fornicate radical nationalists.
Logically speaking, Ministry of Public Security
should not welcome such kinds of dangerous people.
So what?
I think even if Ivan is killed by Sergey,
there're no disadvantages to Japan.
You should also think like this.
Although I'm just guessing.
Although he's not welcomed,
he's a Russian official.
Unfortunately if he is killed in Japan,
there must be impacts.
Surprised that Ministry of Public Security
treats Metropolitan Police's face so important.
You say too much.
But if Ivan is really killed at last,
honestly Metropolitan Police has to take all responsibilities.
FSB may feel glad to see such a result.
The Thing that the FSB required Krachevna too.
It seems logical.
The truth is to confirm the identity of sniper.
So as to push forward.
Maybe FSB was behind Sergey.
This may be the truth.
I start to understand
why a team like SV2
could survive until now.
You say too much.
But have you forgotten?
Krachevna is not just simply an important member of FSB.
She‘s your teammate as well.
You mean SV2 will take the responsibility?
The team may be forced to disband, right?
As you know,
Why are you still here, to drink coffee?
I am assured Krachevna's there.
I'm interested in why you can totally believe in her.
What's supporting you?
I just said.
She‘s an enigmatic woman.
(Sergey)
(You're eavesdropping on the police radio)
(You finally appeared, Krachevna)
(You're finding me everywhere)
(Found)
(You're scared, if you found me you'd have shot me already)
(You wanna try?)
(There's only one way to find the hidden sniper's position)
(Pay attention and look around to see through the differences)
(This is what you taught me)
(Shape and shadow)
(Reflection of lights)
(Sketching)
(Movement may also create slight differences)
(I must not miss)
(Krachevna)
(You've confirmed position of the sun)
(When your sight reflected any sunlight)
(That's time for you to die)
(You know that right?)
(Nothing can be alive under my .50 caliber rifle)
(Why, Sergey)
(Why is it you?)
(There're no birds with the same feathers)
(Dragunov...)
(You have no chance to win at this distance)
(I would not hesitate)
(Goodbye)
Is Krachevna here?
Don't stand behind me.
You guys are enough?
Back to normal, work seriously.
Yes...
Krachevna's practicing there again.
Those visitors got back safely.
Although Metropolitan Police's face is saved,
there's no praise
because you took unauthorized action
and we can't tell the public.
But,
why at the beginning,
you had choosen SV2?
There's no mechanical troops in Moscow, right?
You really want to know why?
You can just forget it if you're not willing to tell.
Maybe because...
Maybe because?
I can smoke when I'm on duty.
Actually smoking is banned here.
Made by Russian.
I spent time to find it out.
