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
Up!
Keep going! Up!
Up!
Good, stop!
Any big news?
Nothing.
You sure?
Yes, nothing.
It's peaceful in Japan today.
No way!
I said it's peaceful, ok?
That's just because you don't know what's happening elsewhere.
Half of the places on the globe have wars.
But it‘s peaceful here in Japan.
You have anything against peace?
No...
Good then.
Wars and terrorists are everywhere.
Strange that only Japan is peaceful.
That's some big talk.
No, it's not.
Ijust think
because it's peaceful, we have nothing to do.
That's a luxury problem.
When the police are so carefree,
that means the society is peaceful.
And we can still get paid on time.
Yes, that's right.
Are you all really okay with this?
What do you mean?
Aren't you a little bit suspicious
about this apparent peacefulness?
You fool.
Don't tell me you really believe in
a peaceful world without moral flaws.
What's a "flaw"?
I really wonder how you passed your exams to be a cop.
Thanks for the compliment!
It means weakness or fault or something like that.
Oh, who cares. As long as it's peaceful.
Argh! I'm so pissed off!
With Shiobara being so noisy, Japan will become unpeaceful.
Then what do you want?
I think you're all hungry?
Oh, yes. It's lunchtime already.
Akira, go get us some cup noodles.
Why me?
Just do as I tell you. I'm not in a good mood.
No way.
You...
are you disobeying your commander?
We're not on a mission now.
But we're on standby.
Ramen with lard soy sauce.
Large ramen with kimchi and chicken.
I'd like a Kitsune udon.
Udon with tempura. And curry soba.
Kasha
Careful of not being able to go back to your motherland.
Thanks for the reminder.
Oh, how about Hiromichi?
Get him ramen with chicken.
Makoto, you're brown aren't you.
Be good, be good.
Ok.
You‘re here, Akira.
Looking cute today, as usual.
Of course.
Welcome!
Good day to you too.
Let's see. Ramen with lard soy sauce.
Large ramen with kimchi and chicken.
Kitsune udon.
Udon with tempura.
Curry soba.
Ramen with chicken.
Great.
Excuse me, is there a washroom here?
Yes.
Welcome!
Oh, wait a second.
— This one as well. — Ok.
You‘re early today.
Because Yuma has been so annoying.
I see.
That'll be 1540 yen
Ok.
Want to try the new miso onigiri?
Oh, I'm on morning duty today.
Mikiya may visit later.
Ok.
Thank you for your visit!
Don't mention it.
Asagi, I'm going out. I'm leaving the store to you.
Got it. See you!
Here's the money.
Ok.
1600 yen received.
Here's your change of 60 yen.
Thank you.
Come back next time.
That girl just now... she's police?
Yes.
She‘s from SV2.
SV2... under the Security Bureau?
Yes, for developing robots.
Seems like they relocated nearby.
They have been buying cup noodles and stuff like that every day.
Thank you for your visit.
Give me my change.
What's taking Akira so long?
She just needs to buy cup noodles!
Go buy it yourself then.
Since you're sounding so tough.
Go together with me then.
Just saying.
But really, she's gone for a long time.
Let's give her a call?
She didn't pick up her phone.
Girls are usually slow when shopping.
Same in every country.
You scared me!
Sachiko laid some eggs this morning.
Want some?
We want ramen before eggs!
I'll go get her.
Going out?
To the convenience store.
Going out?
To the convenience store.
Going out?
I told you. To the convenience store!
I thought Akira went there already?
She‘s been out for too long.
Look at him.
So worried!
After all,
he won't ignore it when girls have problems,
Hey! Hey! Hey!
That's my car!
Oh! Yeah, right.
Are you alright?
It hurts, it hurts!
What the hell do you want?
My daughter... she's just born...
I need you all to stay for a while.
As long as you don't try anything, you'll be safe.
The money's at the cashier...
They're not here for money.
Hey sweetie.
You know who I am, don't you?
You saw the wanted notice, right?
Yes.
How convenient.
You can check wanted notices anywhere, anytime.
All done, Bachino
I told you not to use names you fool!
Sorry... Bachi.
Bachi... full name Bachino Ichirou.
Allegedly in possession of explosives, restricted knives and firearms.
Also alleged to have committed burglary and assault.
Currently a top—wanted criminal.
Please call us terrorists,
at least.
Terrorists!?
What is a terrorist doing here?
You won't tell the police, will you?
Of course not.
I've been out here for too long. They'll be looking for me.
Don't look at other people's phones!
Hey!
"My Vespa is out of order."
"Will be back a bit late."
This guy called Yuma.
He's your colleague right?
Hey, Akira!
Went shopping and forgot the time?
Huh?
The number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment.
No one's answering the phone.
What's wrong with those two?
Bad luck just accumulates I guess.
But we lost contact with both of them,
should we report it to the captain?
And tell him they're lost at the convenience store?
Let me go take a look.
We don't have any transportation.
We can borrow a bicycle or motorcycle from the Mechanic Team.
Seems like we can't avoid a fuss.
Let me check it out.
If you're gone, no one's able to operate No.2
in case of emergency.
Don't crash it!
You‘re pretty thoughtful.
As a police officer,
the mission always comes first.
Sit down, big guy.
The police are coming here one by one so casually.
You think you're pinballs in a pinball machine?
Before they're out, they'll bounce between the two sides.
What are you talking about?
None of your business.
Not exactly.
Though life is full of setbacks,
it'll return to its destined place.
You‘re right.
And criminals will go back to jail.
Nice speech.
You‘re an interesting person.
A member of SV2, eh?
Where're the people from Team 1?
According to our personal judgment,
we took over a bit earlier.
I see, fine.
You guys have nothing to do anyway.
What the hell are those three doing!
Team 1 has been wiped out!
Any reply?
No, but they should have received our messages.
If still no news in 15 minutes, we report to the captain.
But the guys of the Mechanic Team will hear our motorcycles.
You really think those guys... will report me to the superiors?
I see...
the Mechanic Team is the friend of that hot woman.
Still haven't arrived?
Can't see anything.
Any contact?
The last message was 10 minutes ago.
Should be here soon.
Looks like they're waiting for someone.
Yes.
They're either waiting for allies...
Or...
Or what?
That thing is for escaping?
What's in it?
— Hey! — What?
How can you eat without paying?
How can I carry out a mission without being full?
I'm planning to kick some ass.
What can you do?
Don't forget, I'm a cop.
Feel free to eat more.
Huh?
I'm eating too.
I wanted to do this for a long time.
Are you sure?
Help yourself.
Then count me in.
Me too!
Let me have this one.
This one's fine too, right?
Feel free to have it.
This one's tasty.
You‘re not eating?
Come on, choose something.
For you. Take this one.
And this one.
Drink it!
Come on, just sit down.
This is good.
Sit here.
So how long do we have to wait for?
My family is waiting for me.
I heard terrorists could earn a lot?
If it's true, I want to be one too.
Are you crazy?
You‘ll go to jail!
You look so cool carrying that gun. Is it difficult?
Mr. Policeman, have a drink!
Thank you.
Please, help yourself.
I see.
This is Stockholm Syndrome.
What's that?
When criminals and their hostages stay together for a long period of time,
such abnormal experience
will generate feelings of trust and care,
just like them.
But I hate that guy.
He broke my Vespa.
Well, to you that might be right...
I don't know what you're talking about.
Hey you over there.
Please be quiet.
Ok...
It's your fault!
Is the intelligence accurate?
According to Kasha's report,
there are two suspects in total,
armed.
Guns?
They have at least one rifle.
Although the Metropolitan Police has been informed,
we still have to go to the scene.
The area by the shore is also under our jursidiction.
Won't the situation turn even worse?
That's exactly what we want.
It'll be a shame if we can't send out a Labor.
Please give us your instructions!
Load the ammo.
Yes sir!
Mikiya!
Yes.
If you encounter similar situations in the future,
report to me earlier.
My apologies.
However, letting Kasha take action is still the right call.
Come on! Stay on your toes guys!
Work faster!
Show me what you've got!
Faster! Faster! Faster! Faster!
You there, wake up!
Quick! Get ready!
Treat our Labor gently!
Make one mistake and I'll throw you into the ocean!
We're going to save Akira!
Is this Kasha?
Yes, we're ready to go.
What?
I need to take that with us?
That's true.
Studying and working as a part timer,
you're a tough guy.
To study at a professional school
in movie making,
I'll have to earn more to pay the tuition.
But after you graduate, you will be a director!
Ideally yes, but...
I'm sure you can make it.
You‘re still young.
You have a bright future.
Yes, that's right.
What? You... keep chickens as pets?
Not as pets.
As family.
You‘ll die of loneliness sooner or later.
Don't cry while you eat!
Don't worry Hiromichi.
It's not summer time, it won't go bad so easily.
What are you talking about?
Oh, I'm sorry. Here, take this!
That's chicken.
You‘ve made him cry harder.
You'll lose all your friends if you keep doing that.
Stop being so harsh on me!
Choose another one!
Alert, police passing through.
Here they are!
Give it to me.
It's the police.
What? How come?
We took away their phones!
Move the stuff in the car inside!
Want to take a look inside?
Yes I do.
C4!
A plastic explosive commonly deployed
by armies around the world,
What?!
It's power is 1.34 times that of TNT explosives,
with high durability, reliability, and safety.
It won't explode even if it is hit or burnt.
A detonator is needed
to set it off.
The British army calls it PE4.
It consists of 91% RDX, which is extremely toxic,
0.1% of explosive taggant DMDNB,
and 5.3% of Dioctyl sebacate.
2.1% of adhesive polyester as binding agent,
with 1.5% interface agents.
Also...
Hey.
Don't disturb me...wait, what?
Who in the world are you?
A policeman and a military nerd. You have a problem with that?
Then you should know what that is?
Hey.
M249?
It's a medium machine gun deployed by the US army,
with 7.62mm ammunition.
Muzzle velocity is 905m/s,
rate of fire 950 rounds/minute.
Effective firing range is 800m,
maximum firing range is 3750m.
Enough!
You know what I can do with all this?
These C4 bombs alone
can blow this place up for tens of times.
And under optimal conditions, the M249
can effectively control 200m of the frontal battlefield.
ExacHy.
The police are nothing to be afraid of.
What's the situation?
The suspects have a assault rifle,
similar to an M4 carbine.
There are 7 hostages, including 3 of our team members.
Moreover...
What's wrong?
One of the suspects mounted a M249 machine gun at the front.
They even have a machine gun!
There's also a large container.
It should be holding explosives.
This is war.
Higher! Rise higher!
All personnel, attention!
Get ready.
All personnel to their positions.
Gotoda.
This case is taken over by the Security Bureau.
But...
Withdraw Labor.
This is not the time to send out SV2.
I'm afraid the Security Bureau may be unable to handle the situation.
There are two suspects in total.
Bachino Ichirou, 35 years old.
Saruwatari Hachirou, 31 years old.
Allegedly in possession of explosives restricted knives and firearms.
To put it shortly, they're terrorists who
are in possession of rifles and other US military weapons.
It's also very likely that they have explosives.
Explosives?
How did they get their hands on such dangerous things?
Also,
3 of the 7 hostages are members of my team.
Your team members are being held hostage?
Why are they in such a place?
Apparantly they got involved when buying lunch.
3 members who're supposed to be standing by...
went shopping together?
No no no... it's because
one of them went out and didn't return.
Same for the second member.
We only understood the situation
until the 4th member went to investigate.
What do you think they are, pinballs in a pinball machine?
Before they're out, they'll bounce between the two sides.
What are you talking about?
Oh my god! This is so cool!
What is happening? What's wrong?
So, I'll leave him to you.
What're you doing? Wait, wait!
I'm calling the police!
I brought what you asked me to.
I'll stay in the dark and do my job.
It'll be up to you to command No.2.
Although I don't think it'll be of much help anyway.
Um...
The weather‘s so nice today.
Testing, testing.
It's the captain!
Those inside, listen carefully.
You are already surrounded.
I repeat.
You are already surrounded.
Immediately release the hostages...
Hey hey, that's very dangerous!
Your captain's a retard?
Actually, I don't know...
What are you trying to do?
This is a common tactic of the police.
My mission was to hand these to my allies.
But since the situation has turned so badly,
I don't think they'll show up.
So, in exchange for the hostages,
we'll ask the police to prepare a vehicle for our escape.
This way of escaping can only be successful in movies.
Don't be too sure.
Maybe the police won't admit,
but there are successful cases in England and Germany.
But this is not England or Germany.
You don't seem to get the point.
This area is by the shore.
As long as we can reach the sea, we'll be safe.
After all, the Japanese police...
don't worry me.
How clever.
Why are you admiring them?
The food supply here is abundant, and there's a toilet.
Because this is a convenience store.
As long as I have this here,
no one can come Close.
You only have two people.
Isn't that a little short?
We rest in turns.
C4 charges are installed at the back door.
If anyone tries to bust in... it'll explode.
This is the situation you're in.
Go boil some water
and let's enjoy some coffee time.
Damn it.
Hand the phone to the captain.
Captain! It's Kasha!
Hello?
Oh.
Ok.
Mikiya.
Drive No. 2 towards the convenience store.
But they have a machine gun with a 30 caliber ammunition!
Labor's FRP armour can't withstand that...
Use remote operation.
Ohtawara, you've had proper training, right?
Let's get it started.
Here's your coffee.
I made it super hot. On purpose.
"Remote Operation Cable"
"Mains Cable"
Ohtawara! Careful there!
Shut up!
I'm trying to concentrate here!
It's a Labor!
A Labor's coming this way!
Damn it!
Is that Ohtawara?
Attacking from the front?
But in that case...
Akira!
Yes?
Don't you think No. 2's movement's a bit strange?
Come to think of it... it does.
Would that be remote operation?
Tell others to hide behind the cashier.
What?
You still don't get it? No. 2 is just a feigned attack.
The main attack will come from the back.
Let's go.
Remember, Ohtawara.
Just make No.2 walk over there.
Don't let it fall.
It's not as easy as it sounds, damn it!
Ohtawara! You're speaking too loudly!
You‘re so annoying!
Damn it!
Kasha!
(Oil—fried noodles)
(Seasoning pack)
(Seaweed)
(Deliciously rich sauce pack)
Highly rated. In stores now.
You bitch!
Make one move and say goodbye to your XXX.
You XXXhole!
We won! Yeah!
Kasha!
— Kasha! — You 're just too good!
What the...
(Yuma Shiobara)
(Right side of lower jaw, 2nd molar)
(Saliva)
(Afternoon of wild dogs)
This one's it, right?
We retrieved it from the scene of the crime.
We can't sell it anymore.
Shouldn't it be evidence?
Are you sure this is appropriate?
It's fine, their staff brought it to us.
Where's the captain?
He's with Kasha, reporting to the Security Bureau
about the whole case.
Kasha will be fine, right?
You mean for possessing an AK-74?
No one saw it apart from us.
How about the other hostages?
They've only eaten a little, just let them go.
Oh, the cup noodles are ready.
Time to eat!
There's a hole in this curry bread.
It's from Kasha's 5.45 ammo.
They're jacketed bullets. So don't worry about lead poisoning.
How can we eat this?
Don't waste food.
We're lucky to have free food.
That's right.
Hey, don't take my onigiri!
You took my meatloaf first!
Stop fighting.
There's so much food.
But there isn't a lot of onigiri!
Especially the ones with salmon.
Who took the salmon onigiri?
You hid the BBQ—sauce onigiri first!
That's for my night snack.
Whatever we do,
if we don't leave a sandwich for Kasha,
she'll be angry when she comes back.
After all, this time most of the credits go to her.
There're still some egg sandwiches left.
Kasha only eats vegetable sandwiches.
Don't always accomodate her. She‘s in Japan, eat rice!
Oh...one problem.
What?
We have to say goodbye to the food from the convenience store.
The store is wrecked.
What should we do for lunch and dinner afterwards?
I don't want to order takeaways.
Me neither.
It's easy for you to say.
It takes 20 minutes by bicycle to reach the other convenience store.
That's the only way.
Who's going?
I'm not.
Me neither.
Stop talking while we're eating!
I don't want to die of loneliness...
Don't cry while you eat!
Don't cry so suddenly. Can't you just eat quietly?
— You're spitting your food out. — That's disgusting!
I'm full.
Delicious.
