"Asuma and Noa's relationship takes a turn for the worse." "Meanwhile, the Self Defense Force stages war games in Oshima." "But a mysterious Labor intrudes on the action." "Captain Goto, sensing a trap, sends Asuma back for unit 3." "The rest of the team heads for Oshima without Asuma." "You're going to have a tough time if you don't get some sleep." "I know." "That's it!" "Keep going." "Start the diagnostics as soon as the hardware is in place." "Unit 3:" "Are you ready for refitting?" "Any time, sir." "Begin fitting the exterior components." "Yes, sir!" "It'll take another two hours." "After that, I can get you to Inatori on a cargo ship..." "A cargo ship?" "Don't tell me my father ordered it." "Asuma, get off it, will you?" "An unidentified Labor was spotted this afternoon." "Its purpose is unknown, but it may be dangerous." "All residents must evacuate to the town hall." "I repeat..." "The surveillance copter reports that Block 6 is clear." "The question is:" "Where will it show up?" "We aren't authorized to leave the training grounds." "I don't think that'll be problem." "The coast guard is patrolling the area." "HSS won't fight this thing." "But our Labors could lure it onto the training ground for you." "I see." "Sir, the Labor team in Narashino wants permission for an air-drop." "Not yet." "There's no point in dropping until the enemy's mobilized." "The ocean's kind of creepy at night." " Quit startling me like that!" " Let's go home." " I won't criticize ya." " Go ahead and leave!" "All right, I will." "But the boat stays here." "I can't leave it behind!" "I'll get you a couple bottles of sake." "Two sakes." "No, thanks!" "HSS, unit 2 here." "Target spotted." "About to engage..." " How's the pilot?" " He's okay." "They've taken him to the hospital." "So it's landed." "But..." "Excuse me, I saw the whole thing!" "The Labor that inflicted this damage is heading straight for Sashiki!" "I have a residual heat signature." "It's advancing at 9 o'clock headed toward Sashiki." "That's what I just finished saying!" "Move all the 97's to the south of the training ground." "And alert the HellDiver team." "Roger." "I'm heading back to the port." "The Tokyo Police are coming to assist the Coast Guard." "All right!" "Straight ahead!" "Are you Kiichi Goto?" "And you would be...?" "Beg your pardon." "I'm a negotiator of sorts, for Holly Security Services' Labor division." "I see." "A negotiator of sorts." "Interesting." " And you're here because...?" " I'll show you the coast guard." "Is that one of your regular services?" "Actually, I wanted to introduce myself." "How charming;" "I'm flattered." "Well, I'm afraid we have work to do." "Forgive me for staring." "It's just that you remind me of one of my superiors." "You have a superior like me?" "You certainly have my sympathy." " I'd better let you get to work." " Right." "One more thing." "Have you seen this "mystery Labor?"" " No." " Too bad." "I'd sure like to know who built it." "But I guess you can't help me if you haven't seen it." "Sorry I couldn't be of help." "Hiromi, are you okay?" "I'm all right, but it still feels like we're on the boat." "What's with the queasy expression?" "Buck up!" "Easy for you to say;" "you got some sleep!" "And you didn't?" "A good policeman can sleep anywhere!" "A cop makes endurance priority one and two!" " I dunno what priority three is!" " Listen up, people." "We're going to try NOT to engage the enemy." "We have an unspoken agreement with the Self Defense Force." "If we chase it onto their training grounds, theJSDF will handle it." "Okey-dokey?" "I can't do that; it's cowardly!" " Can't we just be happy, folks?" " Captain!" "One question:" "Who's going to command me in Alphonse?" "Do you have any objection to me?" "Not at all." "But Mr. Jitsuyama, we won't be able to use machine 3." "Because it'll be useless without an operating disk, you mean." " No problem!" " Shige!" "The boss gave this to me." "Mr. Sakaki did?" "A genuine copy of Alphonse's data." "You know what that's like." "No, wait;" "I guess you don't know what that's like." "On the way here, I heard an update on my radio." "They've landed in Oshima, and they expect combat tonight." "Can I make it in time?" "You'll manage somehow." "Three minutes to drop zone." "Raven 1 to Raven 2 and 3:" "Final check." "Where's our signal from the ground team?" "Ground team:" "Come in!" "Ground team!" "Ground team!" "Unit 2, deck up." " Ota, get ready to move out." " Roger!" "And so it begins." "Captain, what should I do?" "Pray that it doesn't come this way." "Pardon?" "!" "Raven 3, are you all right?" "Yeah, but my knees are shot." "I can't move." " Raven 2, let's go." " Roger." "Kanuka, beyond this point is theJSDF training grounds." "Do you see any roadblocks?" "I sure don't." "Neither do I!" "Come on guys, the Captain's orders..." "To chase it onto the grounds, we have to enter the grounds." "If we surround the enemy, we still have to trespass." " Yeah, but..." " Don't sweat the details." " Somebody has to!" " There's no point in worrying." "Come in HQ!" "A police Labor has entered the training grounds!" "Here it comes!" "Where's he hiding?" "Keep moving!" "You can't beat his weapon;" "you have to move into close range!" "I can handle this!" "I don't need a monitor!" "No good!" "Gonna try the same trick again?" "!" "Go ahead; just try it!" "Surrender!" "Ota's pretty good." "This is Ota's second try." "He has to use his brain sometime." "Didn't our opponent learn from last time too?" "Those are the exact moves that unit 1 used." "You..." "Ota!" "Over there!" "Ota!" "Ota!" "Ota!" "Wake up!" "Ota!" "They're using the beam weapon we saw at Tokyo Teleport." "It's definitely the same people." "Well, Ota's out of the action for now." "I suppose I should be glad he's safe." "Don't forget to hand in his operating disk." "Roger." "Captain, how long do I have to sit here?" "You bored?" "That's not what I meant." "Wait a little longer." "For what?" "For many things." "I must have it." "It'd be a gold mine if I could get my hands on unit 1 's operating data." "Can the Phantom close with unit 1?" "Unit 1 is near civilians;" "it's too risky." "Besides, it's almost dawn." "I don't care." "That data is more than worth it." "Captain, the training grounds end here." "I know." " We can't advance..." " Silence!" "He's here!" "Where is he?" "Sooner than I expected." "Calm down, Izumi." "He's trying to draw you out." "Don't move an inch, got it?" "!" "But sir...!" "There'll be hell to pay!" "Just follow orders." "Aim for the central head lens." "Captain, they need my help!" "Wait, Izumi!" "I swear, she has no patience." "Are you certain?" "Positive." "There was definitely a second Labor." "I'm sure of it." "Now!" "We've lost the data feed!" "Recall the Phantom." "Send backup!" "You saved me again." "Just returning the favor." " I'll get him!" " Wait!" "Another Labor's there with a gun." "Be careful." "Roger!" "Division 2 is lucky to have her." "Kanuka!" "Did you find it?" "You can't pull that again!" "Creep!" "You're sure it was a 42mm shell?" "Yes." "I think it's from the Saturn's auto-cannon." "The security company!" "A Labor with a gun...?" "It can't be!" "Did I miss anything, Noa?" "Asuma!" "Noa, catch!" "This'll finish him off!" " I did it!" " Look out!" "Asuma..." "Thank you." "You goof." "We've lost the Phantom's signal." "It might've been destroyed." "Take us out of here." "That was quite the little performance." "Izumi, think you can shoot down that helicopter?" "Just kidding." "Get it?" "HSS says they've never employed anyone named Kurosaki." "I figured as much."

"No, there's a pilot on board." "Well look at that!" "The pilot's a dame!" "Not in a million years did I expect to see that." "Well, see you!" "They aren't ready for you to board yet." "Roger." "No one looks like that." "They were yakuza straight out of a gangster movie." "And why would movie gangsters attend a safety course?" "Better yet, why would they need Labors?" "You can't stereotype people." "Hi, toots!" "Hello." "See!" "What's on the ticket today?" "We're moving the Labor out." "Right." "Last time was just a dry run, but this is the real McCoy." "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." "My card." "The pleasure's all mine." ""Hanafuji Group, Leader Naoya Fujioka."" "Give me a ring if you ever find yourself in trouble." "Oh, but you're the cops!" "I guess we're in what you'd call the same business." "Well, you've probably got things to do." "I'll watch from over there." "Good luck!" "This looks like trouble." "I told you so!" "Well, I can only think of one thing..." "They want to use labors as weapons." "You let criminals into your presentation?" "I'd have given them six inches of my boot!" "Labors are allowed to carry weapons." "And anyone is legally entitled to own a Labor." "A recipe for disaster." "He seemed like such a nice old guy." "Bye!" "Night!" "What are you up to tomorrow?" "I have to pack for my trip home." "Get back!" "Hey, it's the dames!" "Welcome home." "Is he here?" "No, he postponed things until tomorrow." "I smell a trap." "Oh, well." "Show them the layout." "I'll join you soon." "This way." "This is it." "Sweet setup, isn't it?" "The 98-AV Ingram was a bit out of my price range." "You cops can afford them of course." "I should be getting in a German model tomorrow." "I'm thinking of getting an Italian job too." "What will you do with all these Labors?" "It's my collection." " Collection?" "!" " Yup." "I used to collectJapanese swords and classic cars." "Labors are lots classier than that junk!" "It'll take a while to collect them all, but it's worth it." "You use them for digging and moving cargo, don't you?" "That's what they're made for!" "Hey, the manuals are all about three feet thick!" "They're impossible to read, so nobody here can drive the Labors!" "But the manuals make great book ends!" " It's not funny!" " No, sir!" "Wow!" "Noa, what did you DO for this?" "I just told him how to activate the default settings." " YOU did?" " Kanuka explained most of it." "Is it all right to accept this gift?" "Wait!" "They might be trying to pry secret information out of us!" "Don't worry." "If they can't even master the default settings... they wouldn't know what to do with advanced information from us." "How splendid!" "Captain!" "We as policemen..." "It'll go bad if we don't eat it soon." "But, sir, this is..." " He's right;" "let's dig in." " Hey!" " Sounds good!" " Hey, you guys!" "Keep talking;" "it leaves more for us." "The entire team is responsible for proper conduct!" "Dibs on the cucumber rolls!" "Think we care?" "!" "Hello, Second Section here." "One moment, please." "Izumi speaking." "We wanted to thank you for your help." "Oh, you're from the Hanafuji Group." "Oh, it's nothing; simply an expression of gratitude." "The boss has been practicing since you left." "He'd like to show you his progress." "Look what I can do!" "We don't want to bother you." "But we'd appreciate it if you could give us a few pointers." "Let's go!" "Bring the car around!" "Does he think this is a rice field?" "How was that?" "Anything I should work on?" "You need to learn to move both of your feet at once." "If you can't do that, you'll trip." "I see!" "But you show good aptitude;" "you'll improve with practice." "Really?" "Boss." "What, is it that time already?" "Sorry I've got a meeting and I have to be off." "Maybe I could drop in on you later." "Certainly, as long as we're not busy." "Was it wise to tell him that?" "He did give us a gift;" "I couldn't help myself." "This concludes our meeting." "I'd like to thank the leaders of Hanafuji and Daina for coming." " Good evening!" " Welcome!" "So, are you still working on your collection?" "Yeah, I finally picked up that beauty of a sword." "The Mitsumasa blade?" "You had your eye on the sword too, didn't you?" "Well, the race goes to the swift." "I hope you're not too disappointed." "Not at all;" "not a jealous bone in me." "I couldn't be happier." "Labors, my old friend." "That's where the action is, not in old swords and relics!" "That's what you should be collecting!" "It sounds like you already have quite a few." "My collection is the biggest in Japan." "Perhaps in the top 5 in the whole world." "In that case, you'll have to show me sometime." "Of course, any time." "And my latest is the crown jewel;" "I'll show you it." "A German multi-use Labor:" "The Graubear." "I'm the first man to purchase one for personal use." "Cost me a pretty penny, but it was worth it." "Yeah, that's pretty good." "I have to admit, I'm impressed." "Word on the street is that you just bought a Labor too." "Yeah, but it's not my thing to collect so many like you do." "I Just own one." "Oh yeah?" "You'll have to show it to me." "Here it is." "It may not be much to look at." "That's...!" "It's a Graubear, heavily customized." "It's five times the cost of the regular model." "But it's the only one of its kind in the world." "Even a hick can buy labors with enough cash." "The most important thing is to spend the time to perfect it." "Boss, it's time for your practice." "Yeah, I'm coming." "I never should have showed him." "Daina outdid me again!" "And I had finally learned how to skip in it too!" "You can't give up, boss." "After all you're still a better pilot." "You're right!" "Goto said I had aptitude!" "There's still a way I can outdo Daina!" "Hello?" "Oh, nice to hear from you." "Yes, we're all fine." "One moment, please." "Izumi, it's Fujioka." "Hello?" "Hey, long time, no talk." "I have a little favor to ask you." "What is it?" "Did you get a system error?" "Nope, nothing like that." "I want to work for Special Vehicles, Second Section." "I won't use money on you." "None of that mafia things." "I'm thinking I ought to be helping out in my local neighborhood." "That's certainly a nice thought, but..." "All 1,500 members of the Hanafuji Group would be at your disposal." "That's not really the point... 305 in sector 4!" "Division 2:" "Mobilize." "Sorry, I'll have to call you back." "What took ya so long?" "!" "I've been waiting 30 minutes!" "Why are you here?" "Like they say, "it takes a thief."" "I just happened to be listening to my police scanner." "Seems there was trouble between these two Labors, but I took care of it." "From now on, you won't have to handle this sort of trouble." "Just leave it to me!" "Oh, man!" "In honor of the timely assistance of Mr. Naoya Fujioka." "Isn't this like putting out a fire with gasoline?" "The chief will be on guard from now on." "But we're the ones who encouraged Fujioka." "But what'll we do if he decides he likes this and keeps it up?" "Yes, what will we do?" "My!" "It says "Official Commendation!"" "Oh, it's nothing." "You see, Daina... a Labor isn't worth squat if you can't use it." "It could cost a fortune... but if you don't know how to use it, it's a joke!" "Mr. Fujioka, you're so incredible!" "I think I'm falling in love!" "If I'm ever in danger, will you save me?" "Of course I will, darling!" "I'll be there for ya!" "I need some wire taps!" "Get on it!" "Two can play at this game!" "Sector 1: 501 in progress in Chiyoda." "Criminal is fleeing in a stolen Labor." "Mobilize unit 1 in Second Section, Division 2." "Boss, it's in Chiyoda!" "Which one is unit 1?" "I'm pretty sure it's Izumi's." "Perfect!" "Don't worry, Izumi, Fujioka is on his way!" "He won't outdo me!" "Hurry!" "Freeze!" "Hold it!" "The criminal is fleeing toward Shibuya." "What's this?" "The stolen Labor is now fighting two other Labors in Yotsuya!" "The pilots of the two new Labors are unknown." "Investigating!" "You don't suppose that would be..." "Don't say any more, Hiromi!" "Out of my way!" "This is your last warning!" "I saw him first!" "I wish you'd butt out!" "I'm getting pretty sick of looking at your ugly mug!" "You need a reality check." "I have speed and intuitive talent on my side; you have squat." "That's it!" "You're going down!" "Don't move an inch, bozo!" "I'll deal with you later!" "Stay put, loser!" "Stop this!" "Izumi!" "Just what do you think you're doing here?" "Your actions prove that you're unfit for this line of duty!" "You aren't heroes;" "you're the criminals!" "You're in no position to judge other people!" "If you continue this further you'll have to answer to me!" "I'm glad they calmed down." "Maybe I was too harsh." "Who's calling at this hour?" "Second Section." "Izumi... thank goodness!" "We've got trouble!" "Boss, don't do it!" "Let go!" "There IS honor among thieves!" "It's the boss!" "Asuma!" "Asuma!" "Bring Alphonse!" "It's a turf war!" "Fear me, Fujioka!" "I don't even fear a raging fire." "You're a dead man." "I seriously doubt it!" "Where's Fujioka?" " He's in a Labor fighting Daina." " What?" "!" "You've gotta get out of here!" "Asuma, hurry!" "Noa!" "What's going on?" "Kanuka?" "Let's put a halt to foolishness." "Knock it off!" "This time he's gone too far!" "I'm going to cut him up!" "Over my dead body!" "Butt out!" " I got her!" " Why, you!" "Why can't you settle down... and talk this out between yourselves?" "!" " Miss!" " No excuses!" "Labor operating disks?" "All of mine and Daina's." "Do what you want with them." "ALL the Labors?" "I'll let you people operate Labors;" "they're too dangerous." "A regular life of crime is much safer." "I've had my fill of danger for a while."

"I'm no good at dealing with mushy Japanese sentimentality." "Besides, I still need to finish my report." " Oh." " I'll be off, then." "I wasn't here long, but I truly am indebted." "No good at sentimentality?" "Foreigners are so reserved." "Maybe she just doesn't want to appear weak." "Even now that she's leaving." "Reminds me of someone else I know."

"So you think this is funny?" "What do you think is so funny?" "Stop!" "Bow first and start all over!" "What's so funny?" "Uncle!" "Funny now?" "Funny now?" "Are you trying to kill me?" "Officer Shinshi, you're disqualified!" ""He's what they call in Japan a 'backfire."'" "Who's next?" "Let's stop this." "Quitting now?" "You make a fool of me, then want to quit?" "Asuma's up next!" ""Asuma Shinohara's father founded Shinohara Industries... developer and manufacturer of Labors." "Asuma joined Division 2 after a falling out with his father."" "What do you think?" "This one is extremely popular." "You're kidding!" "Well, don't read my section!" "Easier said!" "Shinshi's drunk and I can't stop him!" "Crap!" "Kanuka Clancy..." "Kanuka Clancy..." "Apartment 302!" "C'mon!" "C'mon!" "Uh, hello." "You're just in time;" "we're about to read your file!" "Oh, really?" ""Officer Noa Izumi, pilot of Ingram unit 1."" "Noa Izumi reporting for duty with the Patrol Labors!" "Give me back my PatLabor!" "I won't let you get away!" "I did it!" "Ah, the smell of a new car!" "Alphonse." "This is a dream come true!" ""She's emotionally attached to a mare tool with the various mechanisms." "She lavishes affection on her Labor as if it were a favorite pet." "There's a fine line between her hobby and her work... and between whether she's happy or miserable."" "Is that supposed to be praise or an insult?" "Neither." "She wrote that because you're such a slip-shod officer!" "Oh, look!" "Hiromi's next!" ""Insufficient data."" "That's why I told you to skip ahead to me!" "Okay, here you are!" ""Officer Isao Ota, pilot of unit 2." "Excessively violent, but a better marksman than Izumi." "On the other hand..."" "I'll blow you away!" "My gun!" "Where's my gun?" " Ota, watch your left!" " The left!" "Ammo!" "You don't have any extra ammo!" "What's with the lousy aim?" "We don't have any more ammunition, thanks to you!" "Then I'll use brute force!" ""It is a miracle that... this man was ever allowed to join the police." "He's an armed lunatic, a walking powder keg... and a stubborn fool." "But whatever else he may be called... he might best be described as... a psycho cop."" "That's preposterous!" "You broke it!" "Kanuka's going to be mad when she gets back!" " What'll we do?" " Run away!" "Why us?" "You're the one that broke it, Ota." "She's not gonna care about the little details!" "Clean this mess if you value your lives!" "We have to wipe off the prints!" " Gimme a break." " This is definitely a crime." "This is terrible!" "What's wrong?" "Some suspicious men like this broke into your apart..." "Don't worry, I'll handle it." "The lock's been forced." "It must be terrorists!" "Hold it!" "H-H-Hello?" "Is this the police?" "Breaking and entering!" "Property destruction!" "Invasion of privacy!" "You call yourselves cops?" "Well, actually..." "Save your excuses!" "Get out!" "Thanks for your hospitality!" "Terrorist bombers at Officer Clancy's apartment?" "No, I won't need any backup." "I'm sure we can handle it." "Yes, right." "I understand." "So your concern was justified?" "Yup." ""Reports" I'm gonna need more of these." "So you're an armed lunatic and a walking powder keg... but isn't it about time to mellow out?" "Shut up!" "You wanted to read it too!" "And you too!" "What, you're blaming it on me?" "It's not my fault!" "Let's just drop it." "Man, what a horrible farewell party." "Well, you were supposed to be TRAILING her!" "That's right!" "It's YOUR fault!" "Now who's calling the kettle black, Ota?" "You're the one who went nuts on the computer!" "In conclusion:" "Division 2 is composed of truly unique officers." "Creative, audacious, impulsive... daring, impudent, disrespectful... reckless, destructive, arrogant... thoughtless, short-tempered!" "That covers the major flaws in their organization." "However, their performance far exceeds my original expectations." "In short, their qualities can be summed up as..." "Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue" "If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight" "I know I can do it, if only just once" "Pulled into my dream I find that I wake up" "Drenched in sweat and feeling lonely" "I turn off the TV I've been listening to" "Tomorrow I will spend the whole day" "In the city of my dreams, amidst the old dust" "I want to feel the main street beneath my feet soon" "I plan to always look on the brighter side" "Keep my chin up, look to the future" "After all, there's only one path I can travel" "Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue" "If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight" "I know I can do it, if only just once" "If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight" "I know I can do it, if only just once" "This story is fiction..." "but in 10 years, who knows?" "We watch as Kanuka boards a jet, bound for home." "But a strange criminal, Nekowatari, hijacks the plane." "What are his demands?" "And what does Kanuka's message to Air Traffic Control mean?" "Kanuka, don't say goodbye." "Hijacking at the New Tokyo Airport." "Coming next, "Farewell, Kanuka."" "Target:" "Locked on!" "The AV-98, aka the Ingram patrol labor." "6.02 tons." "8.02 meters high." "SCB powered." "SCLM drive system." "Armed and ready for combat with a 37 millimeter revolver and stun baton." "Designed specifically for police use... to make a psychological impact on the community... to deter criminals while making the public feel safe." "You must not let go of your dreams" "And never turn your gaze away" "Yet even still love may cloud up and fade away" "And even though you comforted your love" "When he was feeling down" "Sadness was still weighing down his heavy heart" "Hang tight onto your dreams - they're weapons in your arsenal" "You'll find that you can get through anything at all" "So never cry - you know I will always be watching over you" "What I love about you is your strong sense of fairness" "So never cry - you know I will always be right there by your side" "And so now you can face your future fearlessly" "I'd better be off." "Those jerks; they said they'd come and see you off!" "Goodbye." "Take care." "You too." "I don't know what to say." "Tell everyone "bye" for me." "There she goes." "You creeps; you're late!" "Actually, we've been here a while." "We were too embarrassed." "Especially after wrecking her apartment." "You picked a fine time to show it." "Hey, where's Ota?" "I take it by your glum faces she's already left." "Captain!" "I wanted to give Kanuka a souvenir, but I guess I was too late." "Limburger cheese?" "That's gonna "raise a stink" on board the plane." "But it's delicious!" "Oh, well, her loss." "Anyone up for lunch before we leave?" "Yeah!" "And somebody call Ota to come with us." "Wait!" "Hold it!" "What's this?" "New York Police?" "You're in Japan." "You can't board the plane armed." "Can I have it back as soon as I leave Japanese airspace?" "Uh..." "I'm sure you have your orders, and I have mine as well." "I need my gun while off-duty." "All I can do is have the captain hold on to it for you." "Then you'd better pray that I don't need it on board." "Hang on, here." "You didn't think I was treating, did you?" "You mean you aren't?" "How many times do I need to tell you how small my salary is?" "Want to see my pay stub?" "Do you have to be so depressing during lunch?" "Crap, and I ordered a big steak too." "Noa, can you lend me some cash?" "I don't have much either, so you have to pay me right back." "Could you drop the money talk while we're eating?" "Save it for after the meal." "Most people think about it before eating." "We wouldn't have to pay, if there was suddenly a big KABOOM!" "Knock it off!" "Just kidding." "Sorry, folks, he was just joking." "Nothing to worry about." "Kanuka must have boarded by now." "Afternoon." "Don't mind me." "No use, I just can't wait any longer!" "Sir!" "Don't worry." "I'm sorry, but you'll have to return to your seat." "It's all right." "Don't worry." "Sir, it's against regulations!" "Sir!" "Please be seated!" "Open up." "The cockpit is off-limits to passengers!" "I know, but I have something that the captain must see." ""This plane has a bomb on it."" "They've stopped." "I wonder if something's wrong." "Maybe it's some kind of prank." "Hang on a minute, would you?" "Here we go." "Thanks for waiting." "It's no joke." "I'm hijacking this plane." "Sorry to trouble you." "No trouble at all." "But we haven't taken off yet!" "Well, I hate flying... so I thought I'd do this before we took off." "But that's not the way hijacking is done!" "You can't take the passengers hostage until we're airborne!" "I don't like this;" "At least wait until we're airborne." "Captain!" "I'm sorry for breaking tradition, but the bomb's already in place." "So couldn't you just go along with my demands?" "I'd appreciate your cooperation." "Freeze!" "What did you do that for?" "I was trying to be nice, and you go and do something like that!" "Guns are such a cowardly weapon." "You must realize what'd happen if this went off in here." "It wasn't easy, smuggling in a ceramic knife." "Honestly, where are they getting their pilots these days?" "I'll hang on to this gun of yours." "Sorry about that." "Are you hurt?" "Stop!" "Who the hell are you?" "This is a restricted area!" "Yoo-hoo!" "Goto!" "Long time, no see." "What's going on with that plane?" "Nothing you need to know about." "Except that I have an officer on board." "A police officer?" "An extremely competent one." "These are my people." "They're extremely competent too." "Well, that's going a bit far." " Hi!" " Nice to meet you." "Hello." "Officer Isao Ota, Special Vehicles Second Section, Division 2." "Yeah, I've heard of you people." "Unfounded rumors." "Chief, the captain is requesting orders." "We have to get that runway open again!" "We'll start negotiations after that." "This wouldn't be a hijack, would it?" "It would." "Whoa!" "Cool!" "Just like in the movies!" "How exciting!" "I'm glad we came!" "Captain, if you need a sniper, let me volunteer!" "For me?" "Thanks so much." "Hello, do you read me?" "Loud and clear." "This is Doigaki, head of Air Traffic Control." "Kind of you to call." "This is Ginji Nekowatari, the hijacker." "What are your demands?" "I'd like you to release one of the "Home of the Sea" terrorists." "His name is Itchoku Inubashiri." "I want you to bring him here to the plane, please and thank you." "Thanks a lot." "What do you think?" "He sounds like a rank amateur." "I'm worried about Kanuka." "Yeah, she said if she missed this flight... she couldn't meet her grandmother in Hawaii during the transfer." "If there's only one hijacker and he's holed up in the cockpit..." "Kanuka should just smear him!" "That'd be a piece of cake for her!" "That's what we're worried about." "There's the bomb to think about too." "Bomb or not, I'm worried about that hijacker's safety." "Just what kind of officer is this?" "I told you, an extremely competent one." "Ma'am!" "Don't worry." "There's only one hijacker?" "Yes, but he has a bomb!" " Excuse me, the captain's calling." " Hang on." "It's up to the bigwigs to decide about Inubashiri's fate." "I wonder if there's some way to contact our officer on board?" "Not likely." "The hijacker's camped out in the cockpit." "Captain!" "We could use flag signals!" "Kanuka probably can't read flag signals." "Maybe we could hang a banner out!" "What would it say?" ""Good luck, Kanuka!"" " "Good luck"?" " I guess not, huh?" "What if we sent in an emergency message?" "We just finished saying we can't get in touch with her!" "Can you find out her seat number?" "The airline would have that info." " Find out, would you?" " What's her name?" "You called?" "Uh..." "I feel like I've seen you before." "But where could it have been?" "My little sister's on this flight." "Maybe you met her." "Of course, your sister." "And now I'm disturbing a whole family." "I'm causing trouble for everyone on board." "Could you see that they all get a nice hot cup of tea?" "We'll be sitting here for a while, so go ahead." "Yes, Captain." "No private talk." "Calling 747." "We need a medical check on the person in seat 8A." "8A?" "That passenger is flying to the US for heart surgery... and is under the doctor's orders to avoid unnecessary excitement." "May I talk to them?" "Passenger 8A had a minor heart spasm... but is now doing well." "Kanuka?" "If this situation is prolonged, the condition may decline." "Uh, yes indeed." "Dr. Goto, the airport physician speaking." "The condition is delicate, so advise the patient to go easy." "I understand, Dr. Goto." "I had no idea there was a sick person aboard!" "How terrible!" "I'd better go apologize in person, and see how he's doing!" "No, that might make things even worse!" "I'll go." "Well, tell him that I'm terribly sorry!" "Thank you!" "How come you think the bomb is a bluff?" "Why set a weapon that you can't trigger when you need it?" "If he had a bomb, he'd have a detonator switch." "And if he had a detonator..." "He'd show us that instead of a ceramic knife!" "One more thing." "He's demanding that Inubashiri be brought to the plane." "He must be planning to fly them both to freedom." "Would a man who fears flying set a bomb on his own plane?" "Then that means..." "It was all a bluff to get into the cockpit." "Ginji Nekowatari." "Chauffeur." "No crimes or traffic violations." "No connection with the "Home of the Sea."" "I don't get it." "Aha!" "He's from the same town as Inubashiri!" "So what if he is?" "He'd hardly hijack a plane to save a childhood friend." "That's a laugh." "Maybe he owes him a favor." "That's a bit much for a favor." "You're so out of touch." "Maybe he's too nice for his own good." "He's acting alone... so we may not even get a chance to help." "Shall we go sightseeing?" "Captain, isn't that a little irresponsible?" "Well, it's not like an Ingram could hold back a jumbo jet." ""Miss Extremely Competent" is back on the line." "Message from passenger 8A to Dr. Goto." "Fluffy may fall out a second floor window." "Please alert Alphonse and his friends." "Will do." "Does the passenger in 8A have a cat?" "Apparently." "So who's Alphonse?" "I think he's a dog." "He was raised with Fluffy and never realized Fluffy was a cat." "I'm just the opposite, unfortunately." "I got along with my friend Itchoku." "But I never realized he was such a dirty dog." "Oh, well." "That's the way it goes." "Fluffy's a cat's name, isn't it?" "She means Nekowatari." "And a second-floor window would be..." "A window on the second floor, obviously!" "Is your brain still up there, somewhere?" "Speak to your elders with RESPECT!" "I'll spell out what Kanuka's telling us, shall I?" ""Nekowatari will fall out of a second floor window."" "But windows on planes don't open, therefore... uh..." "Now I get it." "Precisely." "But we'll never get the Ingram Alphonse here in time." "Then we'll just have to use his friends, won't we." "Right, Izumi?" "Huh?" "Hello!" "I have good news!" "They're releasing Inubashiri?" "No, no news on that yet." "But Dr. Goto said that he's spoken to the patient's family... and wanted to let everyone know that Fluffy is being taken care of!" "That's wonderful." "I'm going to tell the good news to the passenger in 8A!" " That'll make him feel better!" " I'll do it!" "No, you have work to do." "Besides, I'm bored in the cockpit." "Wait!" "You!" "Passenger 8A is in back, lying down." "Liar!" "You were sitting next to me!" "It wasn't your sister!" "You totally made that up, about your sister!" "You're disturbing the passengers." "Save it!" "You're no stewardess!" "Who are you?" "Stay back, I'm warning you!" "I can't guarantee I won't hurt someone!" "Noa, can you handle that Ingram?" "I can get it moving, but..." "But what?" "It takes a lot of muscle." "Just go slow and low." "Don't come any closer, I'm warning ya!" "Put down your knife." "There's nowhere to run." "The end." "I know how to use this thing." "You win." "Wait!" "What are you doing?" "I'm getting off." "You can't get off!" "This isn't like a train or a taxi!" "We're as high as a two-story building!" "It's Inubashiri!" "Where?" "Itchoku!" "Sorry." "Sorry, did that hurt?" "No, but that was a dirty, rotten trick!" "Even with the safety off, you still have to chamber a bullet." "Not fair!" "I wanted go to Hawaii with Itchoku!" "Chill out, would ya!" "Kanuka, this is from Captain Goto." "Thank you." "Bye." "Noa!" "Bye." "This smells rotten." "Izumi!" "Postcard from Kanuka." "From Kanuka?" "What does she have to say?" "Let me see." ""I'll be back."" "That's all?" ""I'll come back some time."" "Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue" "If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight" "I know I can do it, if only just once" "Pulled into my dream I find that I wake up" "Drenched in sweat and feeling lonely" "I turn off the TV I've been listening to" "Tomorrow I will spend the whole day" "In the city of my dreams, amidst the old dust" "I want to feel the main street beneath my feet soon" "I plan to always look on the brighter side" "Keep my chin up, look to the future" "After all, there's only one path I can travel" "Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue" "If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight" "I know I can do it, if only just once" "If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight" "I know I can do it, if only just once" "This story is fiction..." "but in 10 years, who knows?" "Shinshi takes Clancy's place, commanding unit 2." "That was Captain Goto's order." "But Shinshi's so lousy, it's hard to watch." "Poor guy." "Things only get worse... when he gets a job offer from a software company." "Tamiko, what should I do?" "Should I stay, or should I quit?" "Coming next, "Spring Storm."" "Target:" "Locked on!" "The AV-98, aka the Ingram patrol labor." "6.02 tons." "8.02 meters high." "SCB powered." "SCLM drive system." "Armed and ready for combat with a 37 millimeter revolver and stun baton." "Designed specifically for police use... to make a psychological impact on the community... to deter criminals while making the public feel safe."

"This way?" "No, the left!" "Which way is it?" "YOUR left, Ota!" "Where's Izumi?" "Where's unit 1?" "Huh?" "Izumi?" "Uh..." "Damn you!" "Out of my way, Izumi!" "Let me handle it." "Use your baton to disable it." "You can destroy his leg actuator!" "You talk too much." "Ota, how could you?" "Move it!" "Finish him off!" "Take that!" "And that and that!" "Poor Alphonse." "There was no reason to go on a shooting spree." "The two of you could have held it easily." "Easy for you to say." "You weren't there!" "That's always your excuse." "It's odd, how you ALWAYS have to use your gun." "Don't mock me, Shinohara!" "It's my fault." "If I hadn't hesitated..." "Yeah!" "Listen, Shinshi." "I know you're inexperienced." "But don't give out orders that only make things worse!" "That's enough, Ota." "Don't pay any attention to him." "Sure, except that he's right." ""Factory Labor:" "Bulldog"" "What's that, Shinshi?" "Our reaction times, indexed to the Labor models we were up against." "It might be a useful reference on future mobilizations." "Too cool!" "You should have gone into computer work!" "Oops, that didn't come out right." "Special Vehicles, Second Section." "Shinshi, phone." "Hello, Shinshi here." "Not at all." "It's just so out of the blue." "I don't believe my eyes." "Just finishing today's report." "Very impressive." "Won't you have to reorganize now?" "Why?" "Everyone's already serving in their ideal post." "Kanuka Clancy left a pretty big hole." "Yes." "It's a good opportunity." "Are you tired or something?" "No, just a little zoned out." "I'll go splash some water on my face and snap out of it." "Ota, sorry about what happened out there." "I know I caused you a lot of trouble." "Just get up to speed." "And I'll try hard not to follow your orders till then." "Right." "The good stuff's already gone!" "I'm sorry!" "It isn't your fault." "Stop apologizing all the time." "You can't be like that in this business." "Maybe I should change jobs." "Mr. Mikiyasu Shinshi, I suppose?" "I'm Yoshikawa." "I spoke to you on the phone." "Pleased to meet you." "After graduation... you were a programmer for a brokerage for five years." "In the winter of'97, you left to join the police force." "That April, you aced the entrance exam and had three weeks training." "Worked in Special Vehicles, Second Section until present." "Did I miss anything?" "No, nothing." "Don't take it the wrong way." "I'm just doing my job." "I'll come straight to the point." "A certain venture is very interested in hiring you." "A software development start-up." "It's only 2 years old, but it's doing extremely well... and is turning heads in the industry." "Are you interested?" "I dunno." "I'd have to think about it." "I understand." "But are you satisfied with your current job?" "Better yet, are you needed?" "Well..." "You're the right man in the right place." "I'm just someone who wants to help." "They'll triple your current salary." "And you'd be a department head." "Triple?" "Department head?" "We should start giving it some serious thought." "Yeah." "Listen, Tamiko..." "Yes?" "Um, we need to talk." "It's my miso soup." "It's too salty, isn't it?" "Oh, no." " It's delicious." " Oh, good!" "So anyway..." "Yes?" "Our house is getting too small for us." "Don't you ever wanna move?" "Oh, no!" "As long as we're together, I'm happy!" "A condo's fine." "I don't need a big house." "Our mortgage is hard enough now." "Sure, I'm sick of having such nosy neighbors, but it's okay." "It's something you have to live with." "I'm sure I'll get by." "It's hard on you though." "All the wives in the neighborhood know your salary... and the department rumors." "Sorry I've put you through this." "You're so nice to me!" "Don't worry." "I'll get by, really." "So long as we're together, we can put up with anything." "I guess." "Noa, brace your right leg!" "Grab her left arm!" "Then..." "Then what?" "Block him!" "Move your left leg!" "Done and done!" "Watch out for her leg!" "What?" "Good plan, huh, having a practice match for the new duo?" "Too bad the wrong side won." "What's wrong?" "Do you have a moment?" "Let's go outside." "Relax, would you?" "I don't think I can do this." "I can't lead Ota, and I think it's hard for him to take orders from me." "You're both doing fine." "Sure, complaints are up, but at least the arrests aren't down." "Nothing to worry about." "The arrests are all to Ota's credit." "They weren't my doing." "The forward and backup share the credit." "You've only started working together." "Give it some time before you make a judgement." "Stick with it a bit longer." "I'd like a little more time to think it over." "No, it's not that." "Yeah." "Besides, I haven't spoken to my wife about it yet." "Really?" "When?" "All right." "Right, until then." "How come you're hiding on the phone?" "Uh, actually..." "Aha!" "That was your wife!" "You're such a devoted husband." "I'm home." "Who is this Yoshikawa woman?" "Why?" "Who is she?" "Oh, hello." "It's gotten warmer out, hasn't it?" "Sure has." "What's the meaning of this?" "Wait..." "I've tried to make our home a place of honesty and trust." "We promised not to have any secrets between us, remember?" "And now I find out you're planning to change jobs!" " You know?" " That woman told me!" "She wants you to call." "I don't know exactly what about." "I don't want you to do it." "I love this home!" "The housewives in this complex are so nice!" "I couldn't bear to move away from them!" "Tamiko, calm down!" "I am calm!" "In fact, I've never been calmer!" "Uh, what about my dinner?" "Sorry to keep you waiting." "Long time, no see." "Izaki, what are you doing here?" "This isn't the typical protocol." "But your future employer wanted to meet you." "In fact, he insisted." "It's Izaki's company?" "Correct." "I'll leave you gentlemen alone." " Surprised?" " Yeah." "I knew you'd left the brokerage to start a company." "But I never thought we'd meet again like this." "We need the cream of the crop." "No B.S. How's your job?" "Come on, Shinshi!" "Why don't you join me!" "She told me about the job, but I haven't made up my mind yet." "The department head was just our initial offer." "But I think you might be suited for an executive position." "Izaki." "I'm hardly what you'd call a leader." "You greatly underestimate your talents." "I think you could do it." "What do you say?" " It's an offer you can't refuse." " True." "Drink up." "Let's celebrate." "Have something to eat." "It's not healthy to starve yourself." "I need to make up my mind about the job today." "I'll be home later." "Yummy." "Shinshi, is that all you're having?" "You look pale." "Not enough nutrition!" "Here, have my hard-boiled egg." "Eat up." "Thank you." "Physical strength is the foundation of intellect and energy!" "You can't do your duty if you're weak!" "Sure, but he doesn't have to make it sound so harsh." "Well." "That's just the way Ota is." "His heart's in the right place." "What's up?" "You look so serious." "I'd like to speak with you." "Not bad news, I hope." "Oops, I guess this'll have to wait till later." "Attention pilot!" "We have you completely surrounded!" "Give up and surrender peacefully!" "I repeat." "We have you completely surrounded!" "Give up and surrender peacefully!" "Why won't they give us the orders to move in?" "The SWAT team said they didn't want to agitate the terrorist." "He already looks plenty agitated to me!" "So do you, come to mention it." "Am not!" "They're sure keeping us roped in." "How so?" "It's like the SWAT team wants to have first crack at this." "Politics as usual, right." "HQ is filled with departmental rivalries." "If we swoop in and clean up this mess... we'll make the SWAT team look bad." "You sound like a suit, Shinshi." "Out of our way!" "Real men, coming through!" "But maybe you were right." "We'd better move back." "Shall I send my men out?" "Send in the APC!" "He's getting away!" "Shinshi, any orders from the captain?" "Not yet." "All units, retreat!" "He's heading for the grade school!" "What?" "What's the captain doing?" "Can they evacuate the school in time?" "Don't just stand there, you waste-of-space!" "Ota, board your unit!" "We're moving out!" "But we haven't got orders yet!" "You have, from your backup!" "You gonna disobey me?" "No, sir!" "I'm boarding my unit!" "I'll obstruct its feet and slow it down, so you can catch up." "Roger." " The rest of you follow them." " Roger." "We're moving out, team!" "Can we?" "Someone has to stop those two." "Right." "Shinshi!" "Ota, shoot him!" "What?" "You want to shoot, don't you?" "I know you really want to fry this creep!" "Well, I order you to shoot!" "Hang on, Shinshi!" "Miss and you'll regret it!" "He's moving too much!" "I'll never hit him!" "Take good aim and shoot him!" "Hurry!" "Shoot him!" "Shoot him!" "Noa, go!" "All right!" "You're dead!" "And that's a wrap." "I'm very sorry, but I'll have to decline your offer." "Yes, right." "I kind of figured you'd pass it up." "You love being a cop more than you might realize." "Nice work out there." "Captain!" "You finally seized control." "You have to fight fire with fire, that's for sure." "We can forget about that talk we were going to have, I assume?" "Yes." "Hang in there a little longer." "A little longer?" "Tamiko?" "Welcome home." "What are you doing?" "Getting ready to move." "Move?" "Why?" "Cause you're getting a new job!" "We got this place through your department, so we'll have to leave." "Oh, the new job." "I turned them down." "I gave it a lot of thought, and I'm not cut out for office work." "You mean, you decided without me AGAIN?" "I already said goodbye to all our neighbors!" "I can't say we're staying now!" "You're always making decisions without me!" "Tamiko, calm down!"

"Soon as I'm done." "There's nothing outside around here except grass and weeds." "These windows are filthy!" "You noticed it, you clean it." "We should've finished all this cleaning yesterday." "We shouldn't let these things slide." "This place could use more spit and polish." "Hey, that's a dishcloth for the teapot!" " Details, details." " Ota!" "I wonder what he's like?" "I hope he's good to the Ingrams." "Yeah." "Takeo Kumagami's his name." "He sounds tough." "You can't tell that from his name!" "He's probably some big lug." "Maybe he's all brawn, like a certain other person." "Come on, I'm just joking, Ota!" "He's a bit late." "I hope nothing's happened." "Maybe he chickened out." "No way." "Hey, someone's walking up the road." "Walking?" "That's stupid." "What's he look like?" "Think it's Kumagami?" "It's a woman!" "What're we looking at?" "Ah, she's finally here!" "What?" "Sorry I'm late." "I couldn't find a taxi." "Taxis hate us." "They avoid this place like the plague." "I thought you changed your mind in the last minute." "You're pulling my leg." "Your experience is almost too good to be true." "I wish you'd joined my team." "On the other hand, you'll get more experience with Goto." "His team is always getting into trouble." "Beg your pardon?" "About work." "How long will you need to get up to speed with the Labor system?" "I'll need two days for the basic theory." "Mastering it shouldn't take more than a week." "Good!" "Hopefully your uniform will be here by then." "I'll introduce you to your team." "Her assignment won't be official for ten more days." "But she'll start training with you today." "This is Takeo Kumagami." "I'm Kumagami." "Teach her everything you know about Ingrams." "Get to know each other." "I'm pleased to meet you." "Pleased to meet you." " She's pretty." " Sort of." "Bet she's sorry she ever saw this dump." "But she looks nice." "I think she'll fit right in." "Here you go." "Thank you." "You'll probably want to bring in your own cup." "That's what we've all done." "Anything I can do around here?" "Nothing, we're fine." "Just sit back and make yourself at home." "I'd like to dive in as soon as possible." "There's nothing to do." "Uh, I guess you could enter some data for me." "Sure." "Good." "That's it." "Think you've got it?" "Yes, it's just a bit different from the program I used to use." "Take your time, I'm in no hurry." "I can't stand people like her." "They have too much spunk." "You can't judge a woman on your first impression." "I think you might have a point there, Hiromi." "Oh yeah?" "Officer Shinohara?" "Officer Izumi is looking for you." "She's in the computer room." "Thanks." "Sorry!" "I'll get those." "Thank you." "Sorry about that." "She must've heard us talking about her." "Promotion exam, huh?" "Yo, Noa, where are you?" "Over here!" "Jeez, I've been looking all over for you." "Sorry." "I had problems getting a hard copy, but Shinshi helped me out." "Dinner's almost done." "I'll come help." "You'll just get in my way." "Creep!" "Hiromi, did you do all this?" "Unreal!" "It's the dinner of my dreams!" " Grace!" " Dibs on that!" "I didn't make all this." "Then who did?" "Kumagami." "Where'd she get to?" "She said she had something to do." "She could have eaten with us at least." "So what do you think of Kumagami?" "What do you mean?" "I can't figure her out." "What are you talking about?" "She's bubbly, a good cook." "What's the problem?" "Hands off!" "That's mine!" "And she's an incredible typist." "Super fast." "She doesn't fit in, that's all I'm saying." "She's our newest comrade." "Stop slagging her!" "You're being too critical." "We'll make her fit in soon enough." "That's for sure!" "Morning, Shige." "Morning." " Noa's sure psyched today." " Huh?" "See?" "That's Kumagami." "Incredible, isn't she?" "It's only taken her a day to master the Labor's basic movement." "Good morning, Officer Shinohara." "Good morning." "Mr. Shiba, would you check the motion trace setting?" " It feels slow today." " Really?" "I guess I shouldn't have fiddled with it last night." "Have you used Labors before?" "No." "You pick things up pretty fast." "If you can remember the basics, the rest is just technique." "Labors, linguistics, computers, they're all the same." "Theories don't work in real combat." "All the better for me to get valuable experience." "Kumagami, could you look at this?" "Certainly." "I want to master the Ingram while Division 2 is still on standby." "You're sure earnest." "And that's a surprise?" "He's right." "I shouldn't judge on first impressions." "Hello, Shinohara." "Good morning, sir." "Is Kumagami around?" " She's in back." " In back, huh?" "Captain..." "Are you thinking of making her a Forward?" "I'll have to wait and see how she does." "But there's no reason we can't reorganize the positions." "This can't be right." "Morning." "Asuma, can you show me something here?" "My box won't run this command." "Sure you entered it right?" "I've tried it a million times, but it won't work." "Oh, here." "You didn't put a space in." "Huh?" "Where?" "Right here." "It won't work without a space." "Oh, yeah?" "Man, go figure!" "Good morning." "Good morning." "Come here a minute." "Hey, you can't keep counting on me to bail you out all the time." "What crawled up your butt?" "Watch yourself, or you'll lose your position as Forward." "Better pull your socks up." "What do you mean?" "The captain said he might reorganize our division." "Kumagami's already mastered the Ingram." "She's awesome." "Everyone's got their own talents." "Just do your best, that's all I'm saying." "Another day, another dollar." "What a day." "Aren't you going home?" "No, I'm gonna work out." "Can I ask you something?" "Sure." "You've got so much going for you." "How come you were sent here, of all places?" "Don't you have any pride in your work?" "With an attitude like that, you'll never improve or advance." "I chose to come here." "I'm always looking for a chance to improve myself." "Wait." "Look outside." "What's gotten into them?" "Now this is interesting." "Oh, nothing." "Oh, no, not again!" "I did it by the book, with a space and everything!" "Asuma." "Let me see." " Get it?" " Got it." "I can't keep up with Kumagami!" "Why not?" "It's kinda obvious." "She's a great cook, she's an athlete, and she can pilot an Ingram." "And then there's me." "I'll show you something cool." "These are simulations of you and Ota." "First:" "Damage inflicted on opponents." "Ota inflicts more damage, so he's stronger." "Next, reaction time to commands:" "Ota is faster." "So you're slower and weaker than Ota." "Now, the motion data from both units." "Ota's gestures are larger." "You take longer to begin following an order." "But you finish your response sooner." "What I'm saying is, you're a lot more efficient." "Got it?" "Yeah, I think so." "You can't judge someone on any single factor." "I dunno what Kumagami is like... but it's pointless to judge her by appearance." "I mean that." "See ya tomorrow." "Don't catch a cold." "Uh, good night." "Chin up!" "Come in." "You wanted to see me?" "Yeah, your uniform's arrived." "And I've decided on your position." "Well?" "Think you're up to it?" "If this is what you want." "Just give it a shot." "Come in." "Oh, you got your uniform!" "I'm glad it came in time for my official appointment." "Tomorrow's the big day, huh?" "About the other day..." "We'll talk later." "Before we mobilize, I want to adjust the positions slightly." "What, now?" "As of today, Kumagami will run command car 2." "Officer Shinshi will handle carrier 2." "Move out." "What are you doing, Captain?" "How can you let this..." "I feel sorry for her!" "Why should she put up with him?" "I'll take sacrifice!" "Save it for later." "Now, you have some work to do." "What're you waiting for?" "You have the right to refuse an unreasonable order." "I could handle it for you." "Thank you, but I'm fine." "Do you know how to operate the command car?" "Of course." "I can't allow you to do this!" "I realize it's a direct command... but this is a dangerous situation, and it's my right and duty to protest!" "You can't let someone like that give the orders!" "This doesn't look good." "Thanks for coming out." "Hello." "Could you give me an update?" "It's ugly, I tell ya." "Two construction Labors are acting out of control." "They're hiding underground in the sewers." "And they've taken one of our crew hostage." "A hostage." "That's bad." "Captain!" "Questions later." "Get underground." "We've just started rebuilding the sewer." "It's been temporarily widened." " Can we surround them?" " Here and here." "But we need to seal off this access tunnel." "Otherwise, we'll need lots of back up." "Is this a support structure?" "It used to be, but we aren't using it now." "It's just a steel plate." " How tall?" " About ten meters, give or take." "We could use that." "Officer Ota, do you read me?" "We have a preliminary plan." "I'm going to transmit a map." "Roger." "Go ahead." "Lure them to coordinates K2, where unit 1 will ambush them." "Roger." "Damn you!" "Ota, stand by till you hear from us." "They are probably heading towards unit 1." "I hope he's okay." "He did scream." "This place is creepy." "It's so wet." "Alphonse could rust." "Noa, do you read me?" "Yeah?" "Change of plans." "Chase the perps to coordinates K2 and force them in." "How am I supposed to force them in?" "Figure it out." "Noa, the legs are the most vulnerable!" "Got ya!" "Halt!" " Don't chase them!" " Why not?" "We'll get them from both sides and catch them at the same time." "Yeah, what she says!" "Move to the exit and seal it off." "Unit 2, continue pursuit." ""Keep out"" "End of the line for you, pal!" "Permission to fire!" "No, they have a hostage." "Come on!" "Officer Ota, your accuracy on moving targets is only 40%." "Release the hostage at once, or I'll fire." "Help!" "I don't wanna die!" "Look at this!" " What're you gonna do?" " Save me!" "I'll shoot him!" "Is that what you want?" "You asked for it!" "She's good." "Yup." "Can I ask you something?" "How did you know he didn't have a gun?" "Just a feeling." "If he had a gun, he wouldn't need to hide in the sewer." "Good point." "I never thought of that." "I'm gonna learn a lot from you." "Thanks." "No probs." "Lieutenant?" "After training with the Hong Kong Police..." "Lt. Kumagami was assigned to Foreign Affairs." "interpol wanted her, but she decided to join our team." "It was my decision." "We mobilized before I could formally introduce her." "I think she proved herself last night." "A top gun." "What a record!" "A lieutenant!" "I'll take your questions now." "A lieutenant."

"It may be old, but it should do fine... as long as the building can handle it." "The support structures are reinforced." "It should hold together pretty well." "Shinshi, give me a hand!" "The question is how well the Labors will function inside the building." "We're bringing them inside?" "Yes." "Fortunately, we only need rough data," "So we can help with demolition while we're training." "Captain, this really isn't a job for the police." "That's why you don't have to worry about making mistakes." "We have several training goals here:" "Urban combat, disaster relief, and general experience with condemned buildings." "Those sound like worthwhile goals to me." "So we might as well enjoy ourselves." "First, we'll remove anything of value." "Work on dexterity with your Labors whenever you can." "Move out." "Okay, let's get to work." "Is it high enough?" "Asuma, do we have room to stand up?" "The ceiling in this hall is incredibly high." "You'll be fine." "We're going in." "Start by taking down this painting." "I don't know very much about art." "Should I be really careful, or is it okay to be rough?" "Captain, do you know?" "Don't ask me." "I'm sure the valuable paintings were removed long ago." "Sounds good to me!" "Let's trash the place!" "Ota, wait!" "What?" "What's wrong, Izumi?" "I like that painting." "What a gloomy dump." "Looks fine here." "Let's check the second floor." "Hurry up, it's almost dark." "Well, so long Ota." "You're leaving now?" "Yeah." "Have fun on the night shift." "Sorry." "What are you doing on the next day off?" "Why?" "Oh, I don't know." "You want to go see a movie?" "That's before payday." "Your treat?" "Before payday?" "You're right, I forgot about that." "It's okay... we'll go Dutch." "It must be nice to be young." "Yes?" "Well, that's it for us." "Thank you for your help." "I don't mean to pry, but are you really staying here tonight?" "Yes, we're working through the night." "I see." "Well... be careful." "Man, cops sure are brave!" "They're a rare breed." "What courage!" "What was that about?" "Really." "...moreover, its merits as a multi-use machine..." "Huh?" "HELP HELP HELP" "Help?" "HELP HELP HELP" "What's going on?" "And who are you?" "Who's there?" "What's wrong?" "It felt like someone was tugging on me." "It's your imagination." "But..." "Who can move an Ingram?" "That's true..." "But I was so sure..." "I'm back." "Ota, they only had one hirekatsu left, so the other is deep-fried." "Which do you want?" "HIREKATSU!" "Don't snap at me." "I won't take it from you." "Shut up!" "What's with him?" "Beats me." "Let's go upstairs." "The Captain's waiting for dinner." "Captain!" "Dinner's here!" "Captain, what are you doing?" "Can't you see?" "No..." "Oh, I see." "I guess you can't." "I just thought... that I needed some exercise before dinner." "Well, dinner's here." "Oh?" "So while you're napping, Captain, what should I do?" "Stay right here." "I'll be awake in a couple of hours." "There's something strange about this place." "Yeah... what?" "It feels like someone's living here." "No way!" "It's been abandoned for years." "Maybe there's a stray cat around, or some transient." "No, it's more than that." "It just feels like someone lives here." "What are you talking about?" "I'm not sure myself." "You know, I've been getting strange feelings around here." "It comes and goes." "So you agree, Ota?" "It makes sense." "A lot of people died here, in the last quake." "You mean the Tokyo Bay quake?" "Yeah, about four years back." "The ground turned to quicksand." "It got pretty gruesome." "Was it that bad?" "Didn't you hear about it?" "If any place deserves to be haunted, it's this old mansion." "By the way, Izumi..." "Does your Ingram seem kind of sluggish?" "You're having trouble with yours too?" "Ever since we got here." "And the Captain's acting weird too." "I don't like it." "I talked to the local residents..." "they say this place is haunted." "They all told the same story, about a night watchman, who was walking by before the fence was put up for demolition work." "He saw lots of people in traditional clothing, and thought they were filming a historical drama." "But when he looked closer..." "They had no legs." "Typical for ghosts!" "The one I saw wasn't like that." "What?" "!" "Oh, never mind!" "You saw one?" "You DID see something!" "It's nothing!" "Don't worry about it." "Tell us!" "Spill the beans!" "I told you... it's nothing." "Why are you even discussing this superstitious nonsense?" "He's the Captain!" "He doesn't have to tell you anything!" "No need to get angry." "But this is a special case!" "Stop it!" "We might as well hear the rest." "But..." "Oh, don't worry." "Go on, Shinshi." "Well, I decided to check around." "You seem to have plenty of free time." "Well, I was on my way to the grocery anyway." "So that's why you were gone so long!" "This last earthquake was only the most recent incident." "These buildings have always been cursed." "During the war, they took a direct hit from a bomb." "And the central building fell in the Great Kanto Earthquake." "That's where the courtyard is today, but centuries ago... back in the Tokugawa era, it was the Mansion of the Hiura Clan." "And that's just the beginning." "There's more?" "It was "The Age of Treasures."" "Miyawaki, the lord here, went insane and slew his followers." "Stop this rubbish!" "Ghosts and curses!" "It's all just nonsense!" "But aren't you curious?" "Hey, my hometown has a ghost story too!" "I'm not listening to this!" "She's no fun!" "No one likes ghost stories when there are real ghosts around." "Hit!" "Machine 1, your left arm is useless." "Ota's a better marksman than that." "That was your last bullet, Ota!" "Bull's eye!" "Hey, what's going on?" "What's wrong, Noa?" "My monitor's out." "The signal's fine here." "That's odd." "And I was so close!" "How'd you get in here?" "Hey, it's dangerous down there!" "Hey, you!" "What's wrong, Noa?" "Asuma, can you escort that little boy out of here?" "Little boy?" "Where?" "Where?" "Huh?" "Will you please stop it?" "How long are you going to continue this sick joke?" "Well it is odd that both machines are responding poorly." " Shall we dig?" " What?" "Let's dig right where the little boy pointed." "Maybe we'll find something." "Captain, don't tell me you believe in this nonsense too!" "I must admit, I'm curious." "I did see something." "Impossible!" "You look pale!" "Do I?" "Lieutenant!" "Behind you!" "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Please!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Please stop it!" "Please stop!" "I hate this kind of stuff!" "That was unexpected." "It was too much for her." "Cute." "Huh?" "Ota, how's your Ingram handling?" "Seems okay." "Yours?" "Mine's fine too." "So what happened before?" "Ota!" " Ota!" " Are you okay, Ota?" "!" "What is this?" "Special Vehicles uncovers 200-year-old crime" "Special Vehicles uncovers 200-year-old crime Lord Hiura killed dozens of his retainers in an insane rage." "But he told the Shogun they'd been injured in an accident." "And then he secretly disposed of the bodies?" "Exactly." "He used an old forgotten tunnel." "So their anger is what triggered all the later disasters?" "The newspaper doesn't mention that aspect, but it's possible." "I see." "So the more recent ghosts were trying to help you find the original victims... in order to calm their anger and suffering." "Well... they could've expressed themselves a bit better." "So you did a volunteer job for a bunch of ghosts." "That's quite a community service." "Yeah, I guess so."

"My reputation is on the line!" "No game's gonna make a fool out of me!" "This time, I'll finish level 2!" "That won't be much of a reputation." "So how did the action and movement feel?" "The game was fine, but..." "Yes?" "It's the idea that there are hordes of armed, killer Labors..." "Too hard to swallow?" "Most Labors today are construction machines." "Ah, but what about the future?" "Excuse me." "Bud!" "Bud Renard!" "What are you doing here?" "Mr. Utsumi, you aced level 10!" "I can't get past level 9 yet." "It just takes a great deal of practice." "I'm no competition for you." "I have blisters, from all my practice." "Besides, I have a far better toy for you." "I'll be happy after I finish level 10 - just once." "All right." "Just once." "Once is all I need." "This game is a lot harder than the real thing!" "Hey, miss!" "Trade places?" "It's pretty hard." "I know." "Hold out your hand!" "Like this?" "I'll avenge you!" "Watch me!" "I guess he wasn't as good as you can get." "So Izumi was avenged by some little kid?" "You know, some kids have a gift." "That's pathetic!" "You've never even played it, so you don't know." "Let me at it!" "Bring it in here!" "Right... bring it in the bath, huh?" "Then don't tell me what I can or can't do!" "What's your problem, man?" "I'm getting out!" "Why you!" "So you were in the arcade all this time." "The company was looking for you." "Half those machines are made by us... and market research is part of my job, isn't it?" "The managers don't seem to feel that way." "Who cares what they think." "We're doing exactly what we need to do." "Mr. Utsumi, is that my new toy?" "No, that one's gone." "It was destroyed?" "Why don't you answer that, Kurosaki?" "You're a tough boss." "I've had plenty of time to think about it." "Labor combat comes down to hand-to-hand." "Exactly." "Why load a Labor down with fancy beams and weapons?" "What we really want is the hand-to-hand data." "So the Phantom was child's play for Griffin?" "Just wait until we show the world..." "Mr. Utsumi, look!" "It's that lady!" "You know her?" "We met today." "Show a little restraint, Chief!" "If you don't..." "I'm feeling good about this one." "Got you!" "That isn't like her." "That's high praise for you." "Izumi will be happy to hear it!" "Don't be an idiot!" "Go check the data backups." "Drat!" "Flexibility wins over power." "Alphonse is still number one!" "Don't get carried away." "It was just practice." "A real foe wouldn't go so easy on you." "But " "In a real fight there are no "buts!"" "You're talking about weapons, right?" "Wrestling is okay, but target practice is the important work!" "Ota..." "I was watching." "You're getting better." "Thanks to you, Lieutenant!" "Thank you for saying that, but there's room for improvement." "We'll take some extra practice, beginning today." "I saw your report, but we need accuracy right now." "We've pushed speed and accuracy to the limit." "I'll need to check the parts and materials list, one last time." "This is going to cost quite a bit." "We're well under cost for ten combat models." "But diverting the production line..." "You aren't a businessman." "I've told you time and again to spare no expense on this Labor." "It'll put our division in the red." "Don't worry." "The other divisions can cover us." "From space shuttles to toothpicks," "Shaft can do anything." "Hey, Bud!" "This is your new toy." "You look happy." "When can I try it out?" "One more week of construction... and two weeks of adjustments after that." "That's so long!" "They're putting in plenty of overtime on this." "Be patient." "And just for fun, we have a special treat for tonight." "What?" "You said you wanted to see an Ingram in action." "Polishing again?" "I'd rather help with his maintenance." "But since I can't do that, at least I can polish him." "Maybe I can find a few things you could help with." "Really?" "You'll teach me?" "But the boss might not like it." "Why not?" "He's a traditional artisan to the core." "He wouldn't like a woman fiddling with his machines." "Shige." "I'm going home." "Take care of Division 1 when they get back." "Machine 2 is still practicing." "Yes, Sir!" "Good night!" "And one more thing." "There are male cooks and secretaries, you know." "If she doesn't interfere with our work, go ahead and teach her." "Yes Sir!" "Thank you, Mr. Sakaki!" "Rinko Ward, section 21, construction site:" "A Labor is making terrorist demands." "The Labor appears to be a Saturn type." "Division 2, mobilize." "I missed my chance to go home." "Well, hurry up!" "Swap batteries on machine 2!" "Load the carriers!" "I just finished that foundation yesterday!" "I had to cancel a date to make that schedule!" "How dare you ruin my hard work!" "The Saturn's not too bad, but I can't say I like it." "You're sure the Ingram will come?" "Division 1 is already dealing with a distraction I created." "They have to send the Ingrams." "Here it is." "Okay Bud, watch closely." "How should we handle it?" "He's violent, so the first thing is to make him lose his temper." "Let's go." "Submit!" "Good." "It's not good." "Noa, what are you doing?" "Go help machine 2!" "This is much better than watching her on video." "Come at me!" "Bad move!" "What's she doing?" "She should have been able to avoid that." "Whose side are you on?" "Izumi, if you let him get away, I'll pummel you!" "I got him!" "Take that!" "Ota, you're too violent." "He's the violent one!" "Look at that face!" "She had to let the cable out all the way to use it as a weapon." "I didn't think she'd have the nerve." "She trusts her machine." "That takes real courage." "She'll be a tough opponent." "Very true." "This is going to be a lot of fun." "Yeah." "Asuma, the pilot's getting away!" "Captain, call the riot squad!" "I can't." "We haven't secured the area yet." "Besides..." "Besides?" "The riot squad never arrived." "What are you looking at ME for?" "I saw the video of the latest fight." "The Ingram is quite a machine." "Will your new machine be a match?" "Definitely." "Its capabilities will exceed the Ingram's." "But we had to push the systems way past their specs." "I don't care." "I told you, we aren't offering this commercially." "I'm glad to hear that." "I've done everything I could, since you gave the go-ahead." "Here it is:" "Shaft Japan, Tsuchiura Research Laboratories production, type J9." "The Griffin." "It's the culmination of everything we've learned." "It should make Bud's job a simple one." "Two more weeks." "I can't wait to see it in action."

"Thank you!" "Tsutomu, I've told you before:" "No food until your work is done!" "They're late." "I love you" "Shanghai restaurant?" "What are you waiting for?" "Are you trying to kill us?" "Look, we're doing our best." "You know, it's faster if you all order the same thing." "We order from you every day of the year!" "If we didn't have some variety, we'd go nuts!" "Tsutomu!" "If there's time to gab, there's time to scrub!" "Hey, are you listening to me?" "But the delivery never arrived." "Lunch hour ended, but no one returned to work." "It slowly became apparent that no delivery would EVER be coming." "There are limits to our patience!" "He already left." "I told you... he's on his way." "You're young." "A late lunch won't kill you." "Quit whining and be patient." "Listen, everyone!" "Our delivery has just left the restaurant!" "Just once, my friends, let us believe the Shanghai's claim!" "We'll give them another 30 minutes..." "but no longer!" "And if our food hasn't arrived by then, we'll take matters into our OWN hands!" "All units, stand by." "And so, Second Section waited eagerly for their delivery." "And 30 minutes passed." "And then another 30 minutes passed." "Still, there was no food." "I'm warning you, don't make me lose my temper!" "That's odd." "Tsutomu never arrived?" "Now I'm getting worried." "Who cares about you?" "What about our food?" "But Tsutomu isn't..." "I don't care about your problems!" "YOU can bring the food!" "But we shut off the burners after lunch." "The grill is cold." "So you're refusing to fill our order?" "Then we will never order from you again!" "What did you do that for?" "What are we going to do now?" "No one else is stupid enough to deliver out here!" "Shut up!" "Don't confuse the issue!" "I told you not to let Ota talk to him." "No you didn't." "Are you going to apologize?" "Apologize?" "Damn you, I'd rather die first!" "You brought a lunch!" "How can you understand our suffering?" "Let me go, you fools!" "I can't stand it anymore!" "They've been exploiting us!" "Yeah!" "Haven't the portions been getting smaller?" "I'm starting to feel weak!" "Gentlemen!" "The negotiations have broken down." "The delivery... won't be coming." "We are now on hostile terms with the Shanghai Restaurant!" "If only we had accepted our fate and moved on." "But the Shanghai is the only restaurant near Second Section, so our young heroes couldn't give up on it." "You pathetic wimps!" "Young people ought to skip a meal, now and then!" "When I was your age, I worked so hard that I forgot to eat!" "But Sir, things are different nowadays." "Shut up!" "You slackers could stand a little deprivation!" "I'm going to HQ with Captain Nagumo." "Quit your bellyaching and get back to work!" "Goodbye, Sir!" "A full belly can create a cruel master." "Can a healthy man truly understand his ailing comrades?" "It is hunger which leads to mankind's greatest sorrows." "And so the run of bad luck began." "The convenience store was closed for renovation, the fish wouldn't bite," "the rice had run out, the hens had stopped laying eggs," "and the tomatoes, harvested just last week, were now gone." "The strain on the men approached the breaking point." "Maybe you should apologize." "Shanghai Restaurant." "This is Ota, Special Vehicles." "You sound pretty good for a starving man." "What's up?" "I retract my statement." "Now will you deliver to us?" "Huh?" "What are you trying to say?" "I take back that I called you a COMPLETE IDIOT!" "I'm sorry, Sir." "Officer Ota is very, very sorry." "Well, okay." "What's your order?" "One moment please." "Wonton and gyoza." "A large yakiniku bowl..." "make it medium rare." "The number 5 noodle bowl..." "no green peas, plus wonton." "Ramen and large rice." "A large Chinese noodles." "Large noodles and wonton." "Fried noodles and a large rice." "Large curry rice, hold the pickles, add a raw egg." "Stuffed green pepper, large rice, and a ramen." "Fried rice." "I had an egg-drop soup, but make it a large butter-corn ramen and 3 bowls of rice." "I had the large Chinese bowl, but now I want katsudon." "Fried beef and rice with garlic, and three eggs." "Same thing, but a large, and five eggs." "Large katsudon." "No, make it tempura." "Shrimp bowl, side of ramen." "A large bowl of Chinese noodles." "Ramen and gyoza rice." "Get me whatever." "What?" "You can't deliver?" "But" "Tsutomu never came back." "And there are so many vicious stray dogs in your neighborhood." "Give me that!" "You jerk!" "How dare you lead us on?" "That was your plan, wasn't it, you fiend!" "So you're afraid of dogs?" "How about if we ESCORT you?" "Yeah, sure." "That would work." "We'll be right there!" "We don't have to do this." "Shut up!" "Machine 2, heading out to escort a Shanghai delivery!" "Good luck!" "Thanks a lot!" "Bring us noodles!" "Don't forget mine!" "Are you sure this will be okay?" "I fear the wrath of starving men." "Everyone shared Ota's outrage." "Not even the Captain could have stopped things now." "And so, the doomed expedition set forth." "But it never returned." "Come in machine 2!" "This is car 1." "Where are you, machine 2?" "Answer me, Ota!" "Something's wrong..." "We can't just leave them." "We'd better go check." "Let's go, Noa." "Shige, mind the shop." "If HQ calls..." "Don't worry." "I know what to say." "Hello, Special Ve..." "Hey, Shige!" "Shinshi?" "What happened?" "The Captain's coming to " "Ota..." "I..." "You mustn't come!" "Shinshi?" "Won... ton... noodles!" "Shinshi!" "Shinshi!" "Shige?" "Get ready!" "We're heading to the Shanghai Restaurant!" "Second Section mechanics:" "MOVE OUT!" "But they never returned, either." "So finally, it was my turn." "What had happened to my teammates?" "Now, I would share their dreadful fate." "Special Vehicles Team Destroyed!" "Mass Food Poisoning!" "Colossal Blunder!" "The truth is often surprisingly simple." "In retrospect, it's all due to our unique circumstances." "Every day, we place a huge order with the Shanghai restaurant." "Every day, the delivery man has a huge amount of work." "This day, owner Hayao Sakimiya, age 51, gave a strong reprimand, to delivery man Tsutomu Uchiyama, age 22." "In revenge, Tsutomu simply rode off." "The owner, learning that Tsutomu had never arrived, finally located his missing cart." "The tragedy was that he didn't know where the food had gone." "Following Ota's call, the owner prepared new meals, but there was no time to wash the contaminated dishes." "When Ota and Shinshi arrived, they began to eat." "The food poisoning struck, soon after." "Through sheer willpower, Officer Shinshi tried to call in a warning, but since the Captain had just left, it only led to further tragedy." "Shinshi?" "Shinshi?" "The shop owner fled in terror." "Captain Goto found his men unconscious, and removed them." "He called the base before heading to the hospital, but the mechanics had already gone." "Let's go, team!" "And so the second wave arrived." "They found the shop mysteriously empty, filled with hot food." "It was like finding the Marie Celeste, mysteriously abandoned." "And the scene that followed should be obvious." "Let's eat!" "My noodles!" "That's my ramen!" "Where's my fried rice?" "Delicious!" "And thus was Special Vehicles, Second Section utterly defeated." "This is another shameful blot on Second Section's pitiful history." "Now you know the full story behind this wretched tale." "It's been three weeks." "The shop owner slunk back, and everyone made a full recovery." "If we can take one lesson from this disaster, it is this:" "Never again can we be dependent on one restaurant." "Second Section must be ready to face the next culinary crisis." "This was merely a wake-up call, to future dietary disasters." "Miss Kumagami, what'll it be today?" "Wonton noodles, please." "And hold the onions." "Mamoru, I've told you before:" "No food until your work is done!"

"but in 10 years, who knows?" "Cloaked in darkness, the black Griffin threatens to destroy our Self-Defense forces ground troops." "I think its true purpose was to steal my precious Ingram." "While the division 2 seems blissfully unaware, rumor has it new Patlabor models are on the way." "Wha?" "Replacing the Ingrams?" "I couldn't imagine replacing my dear Alphonse!"

"The Griffin has appeared." "Whose bright idea was that?" "It's just harmless fun." "Chief, you can't let him get away with this." "Don't worry." "It doesn't actually give any clue to our identity." "I still think he's getting carried away." "We need to keep him under control." "You're too intimidating, Kurosaki." "I'll talk to him." "Good work." "Piece of cake." "Looks like you've mastered piloting." "I want to do even more next time!" "Did you see the doctor?" "I'm tired of these head-to-toe checkups!" "The more you use the Griffin, the greater its effect on you." "They need to check you each time." "Bud, you have to make sacrifices, if you want to be the best." "The Griffin looks unstoppable." "Its first performance was superb." "It certainly got a taste of real combat." "Was there any damage?" "A little on the legs." "It's good to iron out the details early." "Excuse me!" "Okay, prepare for shipment and load it onto the carrier." "We've accomplished something incredible, but..." "But?" "I wish we could publicly announce it." "Maybe you'd rather show off the Griffin laying asphalt." "The world will come to realize the Griffin's supremacy, and then its value will be astronomical!" "But we can't sell it!" "Not only is it incredibly expensive, but it's radically different from every standard Labor format." "We could sell the basic theory." "Yes." "Shinohara could use it in their AV system." "You mean the system used by the Ingram?" "Exactly." "So we DO have potential buyers." "I think their control software is still better than ours." "Their code is guarded as tightly as a military secret." "I'd like to capture a working 98-AV Ingram." "After all, that's why we created the Griffin." "Then Bud could leave the message, "We're number 1."" "Did you catch a cold?" "No, my nose just started itching." "Maybe someone's talking about you." "I wonder." "A dream?" "It was horrible." "I could never see my opponent clearly." "Alphonse kept getting hit until he was nearly destroyed." "I called Ota for help." "I bet that was pointless." "Dreams can be pretty irrational." "It WAS pointless." "Ota's machine was wrecked, wasn't it?" "How did you know?" "It sounds like a pretty realistic dream." "I hope it never comes true!" "They say a dream right before dawn always comes true." "Stop it!" "You take incredibly good care of Alphonse, so naturally you're afraid of him being damaged in combat." "And Ota ALWAYS gets damaged before you do." "So... your dream was fragments of reality." "I get it!" "As I get better at piloting Alphonse," "I'm willing to take more risks." "Of course I'd worry about this." "So what if it's a premonition?" "I can handle it!" "What are those idiots laughing at?" "Ota, dear..." "Yes!" "Pointless griping isn't going to finish those overdue reports." "Right!" "Uh..." "What is it?" "I'd prefer it if you didn't call me "Ota dear."" "Why not?" "It's bad for morale." "Pooh!" "You're too stodgy!" "But..." "Now finish those reports, Ota... dear." "Ota!" "Come on!" "Let's get in some practice!" "I don't know what Kumagami said, but don't take it out on me." "Why not?" "We just heard from the Captain's office..." "They may want to increase the number of divisions." "So?" "Don't you get it?" "If there are more divisions, they'll need new captains." "And the most likely choices are either Kumagami or Gomioka." "She's really going to be riding you, Ota." "Police Headquarters" "What are you going to do?" "What do you mean?" "If we all get new Labors, you'll lose the Ingrams." "Nothing's final yet." "You know the Chief wants it." "In that case, do you want to discuss our countermeasures?" "Right now?" "Sure, why not?" "I'm meeting someone." "Maybe tomorrow." "Oh." "Well, see you later." "Okay." "Sorry to call you so suddenly." "I appreciate you coming to meet me." "No, it's been far too long!" "You haven't changed a bit." "How's your husband?" "Fine." "So you still haven't started a family." "I hardly expected to hear that from you." "What's so odd about it?" "We'll have children eventually." "How's work going?" "Terrible." "We're forcing software to make up for rotten hardware, and every year Labors pull farther ahead of our Pythons." "Say..." "How many Labors are there that approach real human movement?" "Close to human movement?" "Hard to say." "How about your Ingrams?" "That's Division 2." "There's also the Shaft Europe Type 7 Brocken." "After that, the Toyohata SRX-70." "That's about all." "Why, did something happen?" "It's nothing." "Oh, okay." "You've changed, Shinobu." "Yeah?" "You were never this mellow in school." "You're nicer this way." "Well, thanks." "Shinobu... have you ever heard of the "Griffin?"" "The Griffin?" "No." "Oh." "Well, it was great seeing you." "Let's do it again soon." "...and once I did that, a whole bunch of them came out!" "The stronger the love, the greater the heartbreak." "You can't expect ME to tell her!" "I want you to gauge her reaction." "We already know what it'll be!" "I just want to make sure." "It's so hot today!" "Why are you so quiet?" " Well..." " Yeah?" "I'll be blunt!" "Look at this." "What is it?" "Shinohara Industries newest product:" "An economy Ingram." "This is your father's latest project?" "It sure looks like an economy model." "What about it?" "I think HQ wants to shift money from our Ingrams to these models." "Whaaaaat?" "!" "Calm down!" "Calm down!" "I won't accept this!" "Uh oh." "Don't you "Uh oh." me!" "Alphonse is perfect!" "Each day, I continue to improve!" "So why are we changing now, after working so long and hard to create good movement data?" "Listen, Noa..." "Don't give me that look!" "The Captain knew about this, but..." "You're exactly right, Izumi." "I'm going to go tell the bosses." "They haven't made a final decision yet." "Oh, it isn't final yet?" "That's what I've been trying to tell you!" "But..." "No buts!" "Excuse us!" "Officer Shinohara?" "Yes?" "Have you ever heard of the Griffin?" "Is it a Labor?" "Probably." "Never heard of it." "Thank you." "Excuse us!" "What's a Griffin?" "I don't know." "That's why I asked." "Wait until you hear the other side of it!" "Why should I listen to an argument that has no merit?" "No merit?" "Absolutely none!" "You know full well how capable Alphonse... the other Ingrams are." "After all this work, why should we switch to different machines?" "Are they already talking about that?" "It's just talk." "But at least they'll upgrade to a newer Ingram, won't they?" "Our Ingrams are too expensive." "Isn't it Division 1's turn for an upgrade?" "I think they want to standardize." "But the new models are so cheap!" "Are they as good as our current Ingrams?" "I don't think so." "See?" "Then what's the point?" "Why are they pushing this junk?" "I'll bet it's because they want to add new divisions." "Quantity vs. Quality?" "Yeah." "They think lots of cheap machines... will be better than a few really good ones." "Hey, it's not what I think!" "It's HQ!" "I don't like it." "This whole idea of new divisions is bad!" "Why?" "Ota's worried about the human angle." "So if we give up the Ingrams," "Officers Gomioka and Kumagami will head divisions 3 and 4, and every division will receive the new Labors." "Captain, is this plan final?" "I think it's a bad idea to remove our greatest tool, the Ingram." "But HQ thinks it's more important to unify Second Section." "What's your opinion, Mr. Sakaki?" "I think Captain Nagumo has to approve this new Labor first." "I'd love to upgrade, but we can't sacrifice quality." "You don't think the economy model can hack it, do you?" "Well, judging purely from the spec-sheet..." "They claim to run the Ingram's software as-is, but I'm skeptical." "You expect our software to run differently on the new machine?" "Exactly." "But we won't know for sure until we see it in action." "And I know exactly where we can see it." "Oh?" "The International Labor Show?" "It's the biggest show of the year." "If Shinohara Industries is going to sell this thing, then they'll have a working model and demonstrations." "Tokyo International Labor Show" "Splendid, splendid." "The world's largest Labor show." "Wouldn't this be the perfect place to unveil the Griffin?" "That's just a touch risky, isn't it?" "Oh, but the benefits would far outweigh the risks!" "So, do you think Division 2 will be here?" "It's highly likely." "Why the gloomy face?" "You should lighten up, Kurosaki!"

"It's the drive unit for the Ingram joints and limbs." "What are its advantages?" "Uh..." "Back to the books!" "Even the swimsuit models know that!" "See anything interesting?" "The economy model's on display." "It's different from the picture." "This is the prototype." "Doesn't look too bad." "You can't tell anything from the exterior." "Hey, you!" "So this mass-produced model is a match for the regular Ingram?" "It's ugly!" "How good is it, really?" "I want concrete answers!" "Can it handle a Type 7, which is in the same weight class?" "Yeah!" "If it can't do that, we can't use it!" "It's ugly!" "So you two really are an Ingram team?" "I know we don't look like it." "I'd like to see how good you really are." "Oh, just a bad joke!" "Are you better at the game now?" "I made it to Level 6!" "That's all?" "You're no match for me!" "I bet I can beat you in a real Labor." "Bud!" "Sorry, he doesn't know what he's talking about."

"More divisions means they need new Labors." "Don't you see?" "Of course I do." "But if they want to swap out the Ingram... they have to convince me that their new machines are better." "What proof do you need?" "The best way is to watch it at work." "You're right." "We need to see it in action." "Asuma, even as a personal request..." "Nothing big." "I just want to take it for a walk." "Won't you get in trouble for this?" "You're on duty." "Don't worry about me." "So?" "Is itjust a lot of hype?" "How can you say that?" "Noa, I'm gonna do it!" "I'm borrowing your movement disk." "What are you doing?" "I'm going to check out the economy model!" "Don't put any bad data on Alphonse's disk!" "Do you understand the layout?" "It looks a lot like an Ingram." "Cheap monitor." "I wish they'd made the cockpit airtight." "Asuma, don't be too rough on it." "It's supposed to be made for rough conditions." "The ride's not too bad." "Look what Shinohara's up to!" "Giving a last-minute demo!" "Well that wasn't our intention." "Three months salary reduction!" "Look at this!" "Shinohara is using their mass-produced unit." "We'll be able to test it, too." "We'll begin soon." "Roger." "Bringing the Griffin around to Point A." "Bud, you're up." "What?" "Shinohara decided to test out the economy model?" "It's unauthorized!" "He's deserting his post!" "The Captain may let him get away with this, but I won't!" "I won't let him get away with it." "Of course not!" "But Shinohara isn't taking his duties seriously!" "Is three months salary reduction enough?" "We'll have to talk about it." "He did leave his post, but we need to test the economy model." "It's a bonus for the force." "Softy!" "But isn't this really bad for Division 2's reputation?" "It's not that bad." "Don't worry, Yamazaki!" "I'll save our reputation!" "I'll put a halt to Shinohara's selfishness... whatever it takes!" "Whatever it takes?" "Just watch!" "I'll put a halt to this!" "How is that going to make things better?" "Do something." "I'll get the command car." "And there it is!" "The players are all on stage." "Hey, Ota!" "What's up?" "Listen, Shinohara!" "Leave that machine immediately, or I'm going to have to pull you out!" "Is that officer one of yours?" "Yes." "Oh, drat!" "If I'd only kept quiet, you wouldn't have known." "Captain, aren't you going to stop this?" "I order you to exit!" "You can't reason with Ota until you've pinned him to the mat." "You want a piece of me?" "Are you threatening me?" "Nanny-nanny boo-boo!" "He does a pretty good nanny-nanny boo-boo." "Do you know who you're talking to?" "Yeah, that's why I dare you!" "You'll pay for that!" "They're really going to fight!"

"Roger." "Asuma's using my movement disk!" "Hold it right there." "Stop now, or you'll have to face me!" "Shinohara, that's no ordinary Labor!" "Pull back, you amateur!" "Amateur?" "I had the same training you did!" "Here I come!" "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "What?" "The whole lower half of this Labor is shaking!" "He's fast!" "This looks bad." "Did you see that?" "It moves like a living thing!" "Hiromi, get me as close as possible in the command car!" "Wait, Izumi." "What are you planning?" "I have to save Asuma and get my movement disk back!" "You'll be crushed." "But without it, machine 1 can't move!" "Wait for Division 1 to get here." "Besides, how are you going to rescue Asuma from that?" "Mr. Utsumi, this one isn't much of a challenge." "I'm not impressed with Shinohara's latest offering." "Bud, forget that piece ofjunk." "We want the Ingram's disk." "You'll regret this!" "Ota, you idiot!" "You... you... you... idiot!" "I told you to stay out of my way!" "I'm going!" "Take that!" "Bud, stop playing and finish him off." "Asuma!" "Here's your disk." "It's not as bad as it looks." "This Labor couldn't keep up with your programmed movements." "But machine 1 can do it." "Mr. Utsumi, I've defeated the Ingram." "Then hurry and open the hatch." "Chief, the smoke!" "We've come this far." "Another minute won't matter." "Damn you!" "You can still move?" "Don't worry, Izumi." "Asuma's injuries aren't serious." "But Ota's in trouble." "Help him out." "Division 1 sure is late." "You're under arrest for reckless endangerment, destruction of property and assault!" "Freeze!" "There was another Ingram?" "Chief, the rain has destroyed our smoke screen." "Sorry, Bud." "Time to withdraw." "At least we've gained some valuable data for the Griffin." "This area is dangerous." "Please evacuate."

"Flying probably used ALL its fuel!" "I'll bet it can't move at all right now." "Exactly!" "It may have escaped, but it couldn't have gone far!" "Don't you agree, Ms. Izumi?" "Oh, I wouldn't know." "From the middle of Tokyo Bay, to the middle of Chiba Prefecture." "You've pinpointed their secret base?" "I don't know about a secret base..." "That's a huge area!" "What good is that?"

"That's true." "Well, you've had a long day." "Get some rest." "Izumi, are you still up?" "I couldn't sleep." "Did the Labor from Haruumi crash in Chiba?" "We don't know yet." "I can't relax until I know for sure." "I do have some news that may help." "Kumagami's operation was a success." "Her progress is good." "Thank goodness."

"When you dress like that, the other patients get worried." "I'm sorry." "Which way to Officer Kumagami's room?" "He's about 175 cm tall, bangs, parts his hair on the right." "Squarish chin, glasses, and he looks like he's always laughing." "That's quite a skill." "What?" "His talent for portraits." "Hey, give that back!" "Yeah, that's him." "How are you feeling, Lt. Kumagami?" "Hey, you don't look so bad." "What do you mean, "so bad"?" "I'm going back, so I came to say goodbye." "Are you all right?" "Don't worry about me, take care of yourself." "Aren't they moving you to the police infirmary today?" "Yes, but I'd rather stay here..." "it's closer to the station." "Everyone at work is pulling for you, so hurry up and get well." "Thank you." "May we continue, now?" "Yeah." "What's wrong?" "Who's this?" "Richard Wong." "He was in the car when Lt. Kumagami was shot." "Really?" "I thought it was Utsumi." "It looks just like him." "Who's that?" "We'd better talk to you before you head home." "Utsumi?" "We employ three men of that name." "He looks like this." "Section Chief Utsumi, in Planning Division 7?" "One moment, please." "What interest do the police have in our humble business?" "It's just a routine check." "Mr. Utsumi is in Tsuchiura this week." "What kind of check?" "Someone resembling Mr. Utsumi was spotted at a crime scene." "That's preposterous." "When?" "Yesterday." "I'm afraid our Utsumi has been Tsuchiura all this time." "Sorry." "Must be a case of mistaken identity." "Yes, absolutely." "Could we have a picture of Mr. Utsumi for our records?" "Chief Utsumi, it's the main office." "Okay." "Hello, Utsumi speaking." "Oh, Division Manager!" "No, I wouldn't worry about it." "Yesterday WAS a failure, but we're almost ready for another try." "What do you mean, "project suspended"?" "I don't know the details, but the police know who you are." "Stay away from Tokyo for a while." "Visit South America, or anywhere else." "Wait, Boss..." "Asuma!" "You're feeling okay?" "I'm not too bad - a couple of cracked ribs." "Nothing that needs a hospital." "Don't overexert yourself." "You should go lie down." "Lying down won't help me rest." "How's Kumagami?" "She'll be out for a month." "That means a month of Ota out of control." "Where's Noa?" "Well, she had insomnia..." "Insomnia?" "She hasn't slept at all?" "She couldn't get any sleep." "She was too worried about you." "Come on, you're kidding!" "Believe it, lover boy!" "Oh, I'm so sorry!" "Wait, time out." "What's wrong?" "First you want practice, and now you want rest." "Izumi doesn't know you're here yet, does she?" "Sometimes she's not too observant." "All right." "You ready?" "Please." "Take your best shot." "What are they doing?" "Getting motivated." "Hang in there." "What's wrong?" "I'm so useless." "Did you suddenly turn useless in the last few days?" "I was totally useless yesterday." "I couldn't help you or Kumagami... or Asuma." "I wasn't expecting your help." "Besides, that whole mess was Shinohara's fault." "Thatjerk!" "Asuma, remember your ribs!" "I couldn't do a thing." "And when I heard the Black Labor had crashed, I was so relieved!" "I'm pathetic." "Step one is recognizing all your flaws." "He could have put that a lot better!" "That's the only way Ota knows how to put it." "Did that help wake you up?" "It's time for lunch." "Let's go." "Thank you, Ota." "I won't help you beat yourself up anymore." "Don't you think they're a little more motivated now?" "And one more thing:" "Cry on Shinohara's shoulder from now on." "It makes me uncomfortable." "What's the matter with him?" "He's blushing." "I'm afraid he gave us no choice." "So we came this far only to give up?" "Don't look at me like that!" "I'm at least as angry as you are!" "Sorry, Sir." "You didn't look like it." "Break down the Griffin and load it onto the carriers." "Chief, Red Rock in Tokyo has news on the Division Manager." "He's calling in Shaft Security Systems." "Three-S?" "But that means..." "He's covering his bases." "I'll bet he's been in contact with America, ever since Ogasawara." "Mr. Utsumi, I just heard!" "We aren't going to give up, are we?" "Company orders." "I have no choice." "You sound like a salary man." "I AM a salary man." "I don't like it!" "The Griffin's in perfect shape!" "It isn't "game over" yet!" "That's true." "If we still have the Griffin, it isn't "game over."" "Kurosaki, where is Three-S right now?" "I told Red Rock and Green River to keep their eyes open."

"I have to tell you before we eat." "I've just heard from Chiba." "I'm afraid the Black Labor we fought in Haruumi didn't crash." "What do you mean?" "How do they know?" "The fragments were deliberately scattered around the crash site." "That would need advance preparation." "They found two right arms and some outdated hydraulics." "So the crash was deliberately faked." "And then they removed the real Labor right under our noses!" "Why go to all the trouble?" "It bought them time." "We weren't searching for the Black Labor." "Will we see it again?" "I hope not." "I'd bet on it." "The question is when?" "Hey!" "What?" "You know." "If he comes back, we'll have to fight him." "I need to start building up my strength." "Three trailers are fleeing the research center." "They appear to be heading for Port Kashima." "I repeat..." "Our pursuit cars would be too conspicuous." "Perhaps it's time for subtlety." "Get me the Tokyo maps." "Looks bad!" "Who knows what Utsumi will try now?" "The Sangria is docked tonight in Port Kashima." "You don't think he's planning to load the Griffin, do you?" "Yes?" "Utsumi!" "Greetings, oh brilliant Division Manager!" "Doesn't the Sangria belong to our Far East Manager?" "I'm sure he'd love to help out." "But don't worry!" "I promise to bring the Griffin back to Tokyo." "I'd love to chat, but I've got to run." "I'll arrive in Tokyo around midnight." "Then you'll see what the Griffin can REALLY do." "What the Griffin can really do?" "I thought I'd let that sink in." "Someone lit a fire under my tail." "This is all your fault." "I finally stood up to him!" "I hate to interrupt your moment of triumph, but we have a bug." "Let them go, Kurosaki." "That bug will bring us sweet pollen." "What do you think is in those trailers?" "I've been wondering about that." "You don't suppose..." "I expected that." "I thought you were sound asleep." "You must be Lt. Kanuka Clancy." "Yes." "I never expected us to meet like this." "How are you feeling?" "I'm afraid that was a bit of a strain." "Sorry." "Lt. Kumagami, I'll be brief." "Richard Wong is cornered." "If he has the Black Labor, do you think he'll use it?" "He's cornered?" "Three-S is closing in on him, too." "I see." "Yes, he'll definitely use it." "He's that kind of man." "Thank you." "I'll avenge you." "There's no need for that." "I have never considered Richard Wong my enemy." "Take care." "We have a total of four M5 units." "M5's?" "Are the Abrahams a match for the Griffin?" "We'll move two onto the Sangria before he can off-load the Griffin." "We can trap him at the Castle Gate." "The Babylon "Castle Gate?"" "It's between two artificial islands, Kisarazu and Kawasaki." "It's like the gates in the Panama Canal... and it's the Babylon Project's strategic point." "I know that." "It's a pier they're building in anticipation of a rising sea level." "They've brought in a lot more Labors... which has led to an overall increase in Labor crime." "I'm saying that if Richard Wong gets a boat in Kashima... then heads for Tokyo, as Detective Matsui predicts..." "Three-S will try to intercept him at the Castle Gate." "Your reasoning?" "One:" "A surprise attack is possible there." "Two:" "Three-S wants to avoid confronting the Japanese police." "You predict violence in the open waters, outside ourjurisdiction." "Yes." "I'll have to consider this." "Yes." "I'm well aware that this is based purely on intuition." "I'll handle the paperwork later." "Thank you." "Well, then." "Thank you all for working so late." "I want to help however I can, so I made everyone tea." "Well, that's nice of you, but don't expect any special treatment!" "Is there any news?" "The next time we mobilize, it will end in hand-to-hand combat." "I'll do my best, but I need you to take care of my Ingram." "Leave it to us." "Have they made their move?" "Is it the Black Labor?" "Where?" "Not yet." "Not yet?" "Every second is precious." "We may meet it in transit." "Where should we set up?" "Kisarazu or Kawasaki?" "What are you talking about?" "I'll explain on the way." "Our destination is the Babylon Project's Kawasaki Base... in order to intercept the Black Labor." "Prepare all vehicles!" "Roger." "What a gloomy expression." "It's just this pain in my ribs." "Well, go home and get some rest." "You won't let a wounded man stand by his teammates?" "What was that?" "Oh, nothing." "Nothing at all!" "I understand your feelings, but these are special circumstances." "Sometimes I have to face disappointments too, you know." "I request permission to come along." "Get some rest." "Captain!" "Don't look at me like that!" "All right!" "All right!" "Noa..." "When Noa's lost in concentration, she only thinks of the present." " You have to plan her follow-through." " Okay." "And she's really pushing herself." "Who's pushing?" "Noa." "She's keeping a stiff upper lip to distract herself." "You think so?" "A stiff spine can strengthen the whole soul." "Maybe she's tougher than you think." "What are you talking about?" "I can't come with you." "I'll just have to make up for you, Kumagami, and Ota combined." "I'm sorry." "Dummy!" "Don't apologize for that!" "You're really going to use it?" "I'm surprised they gave permission!" "It's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission." "She never likes to use these." "I know, but we need everything we've got against this foe." "Hey, Shige!" "Open up locker 10 and load this up." "Locker 10?" "You're kidding, aren't you?" "I want to send you out as well armed as we can make you, and this is the biggest gun we have." "But if I use it..." "I trust yourjudgment, Izumi." "Why does my machine have to be in the shop?" "Lzumi, if you've got cold feet, I'd be happy to take your place!" "It's all right, Ota." "I can do it." "We're fighting a monster." "If you value your life, you'll use every tool you've got." "How's Bud holding up?" "He got plenty of sleep yesterday, so he should be fine." "Mr. Utsumi!" "I'll win this time, for sure!" "Of course you will." "We have no choice." "You look like you're enjoying this." "Don't you feel any stress?" "Not a bit." "So we're committed?" "Let's go." "Retina identification complete." "Neural link:" "Active." "Ready when you are!" "The Sangria is approaching." "Station the M5 Abrahams!" "Be extra careful of the construction." "Don't worry." "What did he say?" "He's a guard for the freighter coming in." "And they brought along four Labors?" "Why?" "Everyone's spooked after the incident in Haruumi, yesterday." "Their car is in the way." "They're Babylon Project guards." "They don't even have regular check-ins." "Want me to move them out of the way?" "Just draw them off." "Listen up!" "That building is about to catch fire." "Handle it." "What if he passes through and enters Tokyo Bay?" "Losing your nerve?" "Just trying to second-guess Utsumi." "Why aren't you guys eating?" "I don't have any appetite." "Without an Ingram, what can you do with that?" "Oh, this?" "A good police officer can always improvise." "Hello?" "This is Special Vehicles, Second Section." "Did something just happen at the Babylon Project site?" "A fire?" "There are no Labors fighting?" "I see." "I think you heard everything." "Was it an accident?" "It sounds like terrorists!" "It's probably Three-S." "Kanuka, you're right." "Utsumi will make his stand at the Castle Gate." "There they are!" "They even brought out the M5's!" "There's Utsumi." "Prepare to board!" "Sergeant!" "Look!" "He wouldn't!" "Lmpossible!" "Utsumi is exposing the Griffin as he sails into port?" "He's crazy." "You MUST NOT let him through the Castle Gate!" "Understood, but at this point we really can't settle it quietly." "What?" "First Utsumi, now Three-S!" "What are they thinking?" "This is..." "Huh?" "War." "Look!" "The Black Labor!" "Contact the station!" "Okay!" "Yes." "Yes." "I understand." "They're landing on the Kisarazu side." "All right." "Here we go." "Tonight, I'll fight to the bitter end."

"Just fill in until the ground unit arrives." "But..." "This is being sent across the country!" "Five, four, three..." "As you can see, the Black Labor is at the Castle Gate of Babylon."

"Officer Shinohara, I'm not your commander." "If you're needed, your Captain will send for you." "I've fought the Black Labor." "You could use that experience." "Yes, but the brass hates officers... who leave their post to follow a personal grudge." "Really?" "Division 2 has no discipline." "Move out!" "You look hard at work." "I thought you were ordered to rest up." "I don't want to hear it!" "Well, perhaps it was just a rumor." "So, you're interested in her battle?" "Why wouldn't I be?" "I need to fly in a reserve battery." "Want to tag along?" "Of course!" "Load it up!" "It's a stand-off." "Noa, shoot!" "You have to take the initiative!"

"I'm going for the basket." "Noa!" "Lzumi, what are you doing?" "What AM I doing?" "They're really shouting at me." "It's over." "Did you give it your best shot?" "That's what I told myself."

"That sound coming from the Griffin..." "It isn't supposed to sound like that." "I'll find out what's happening." "Yes, I hear it, too." "It definitely isn't normal." "Anyway, what's going on?" "I thought I heard an explosion." "I won't be held responsible for this!" "The explosion damaged it." "It was that damned Three-S!" "Let go!" "I'll never let go." "A little higher." "Good, don't move!" "Careful, Yamazaki, the cylinder's going to rotate." "Yes, right!" "Come on " "Damn!" "He got my main monitor!" "Yamazaki!" "Even in your Ingram you wouldn't have hit him." "Shut up!" "Are you okay?" "I'll be fine, but we won't be able to fire another shot." "My monitor's out." "Don't let go, Noa!" "You're blind." "You'll never catch him again!" "My ribs!" "That's why I told you to stay home and rest." "I couldn't do that!" "You must have heard that." "Can you keep going?" "I want to run away." "But you know you can't." "Noa, to your right!" "Here?" "Why you!" "Why you!" "I don't believe it." "It's like two children fighting." "Mr. Sakaki, how much power is left in the Ingram?" "No more than a few minutes." "Noa, shut down all unnecessary systems." "Main monitor off;" "sensor 3, no good." "This can't be happening!" "Right manipulator gone." "Shutting it down." "My Griffin's being destroyed!" "It's not fair!" "Power train - still good." "One more run should stop him." "You can do it, Alphonse!" "Machine 1 first, move in to reinforce." "Bud, time to go." "Chief!" "Bud, that's enough." "Time to escape." "What?" "Luck wasn't with us." "The Griffin isn't looking too good." "It's no longer a fair fight." "No, no!" "The fight has sunk to a new low!" "The Labors are now engaged in a slugfest!" "This is terrible!" "It's unbelievable!" "Ridiculous!" "Why you!" "Why you!" "Out of my way!" "Bud Renard Harchand, be a good boy." "It's time to go." "Do you want the police to catch you?" "We have to abandon Bud." "The Griffin's been trashed, and if we don't escape soon... the police will close in on us." "We have to abandon Bud and the Griffin, and get you to safety." "Kurosaki!" "If you survive, Planning Division 7 will live again." "I'll never let go." "I think Bud's finally ready to go." "We should be leaving, too." "What happened?" "He detached his arm!" "That machine has all sorts of tricks." "That seems to be its trademark." "The hatch won't open!" "Noa, 11 o'clock!" "You won't get away!" "This doesn't mean that I lost!" "He doesn't have enough speed!" "He's going to crash into the bay." "Who are you calling?" "I'm going to ask the Far East Manager to pick up Bud." "I can't gain altitude!" "I'm going to crash!" "That's a bad sign." "Motor tension is dropping as the battery fades." "Noa!" "What's the matter?" "Are you hurt?" "He got..." "He got away." "After all I did." "This Ingram is one solid machine." "The economy model I used in Haruumi just fell apart." "I really wanted to run away... but I stayed and fought." "Remember how brave you were today and you'll always put up a good fight." "I don't want a good fight." "I guess you're right." "There's no such thing as a good fight." "How's Izumi?" "Give her a few minutes." "That girl infuriates me." "She had that great gun " "I know how you feel, but you didn't do the fighting." "She did." "But..." "Ota, Yamazaki, thanks to you, Izumi wasn't crushed." "Good work." "Captain, I would have..." "Everyone has his own style." "That's how it is..." "Sorry about this." "It'll cost plenty in overtime pay." "We'll have to send this one back to the factory, too." "Carefully, please!" "Carefully!" "You know something?" "I think you've changed." "Have I?" "To be honest, I never thought you'd get this far." "Neither did I." "There he is!" "Positive ID:" "Bud Renard Harchand." "Prepare to retrieve." "Hello?" "Utsumi here!" "I hope you weren't stuck in that office all night long!" "Damn you!" "This is all your doing!" "But what now?" "What should I do?" "Where's the Griffin?" "Answer me, Utsumi!" "Calm down." "Bud Renard escaped... and the Griffin's now at the bottom of Tokyo Bay." "By the way, I'll be coming in to the office today." "I'll arrange for Three-S to handle a few minor details." "Colonel, I've left a few observers." "All other teams have completed withdrawal." "I've just heard from the Chairman." "The Chairman?" "Utsumi is still a valuable asset." "We are to leave him alone." "Then what was the point of this debacle?" "We have our orders." ""Theirs not to reason why..."" "Planning Division 7 must be pretty damned important." "Miss Izumi, we're here." "Miss Izumi?" "Where's Asuma?" "He forgot his medicine, so he's stopping off at the dorm to pick it up." "Mr. Sakaki offered to swing him by in his car." "It wouldn't be so bad, if you'd behaved yourself." "Ouch!" "I hope he'll be all right." "He's young." "He'll recover." "Today we're going to start a test drive." "Let's check the power train first." "Start charging the battery." "Charging battery." "Thanks to Alphonse, I didn't get a scratch." "The Ingram is an amazing machine." "Shige, you can fix him, can't you?" "Compared to Ota's machine, this one's barely scratched." "The backbone's still okay, and it could move if we had power." "It'll be as good as new in no time." "Thank you so much." "Leave it to us." "Something should have been done about Three-S and Shaft!" "Ota, if you have something to say, spit it out!" "How can we leave before the job's done?" "We let our opponents just walk away!" "We've lost every single Labor." "What could we do?" "But Kanuka stayed behind, and she's still working!" "Kanuka's job is different." "She's investigating for the NYPD." "So what exactly IS ourjob?" "The mobile police handles the crisis." "The detectives handle the cleanup." "It's time to rest." "You hear me, Ota?" "In only three days, Division 2 has been wiped out." "I'm getting a headache just about how to rebuild." "Then what can I do?" "You can go back to the dorm and sleep." "I'm tired, too." "Miss Izumi, I can drop you off at the dorm." "It's on my way." "Thanks, but I don't want to leave my bike behind." "I'll just take a nap in the duty room." "Take care." "You too." "Hurry home." "I'm sure your wife will be relieved to see you." "Oh, she's probably asleep by now." "Hello, Michiko?" "Oh, were you still asleep?" "I'm sorry." "No, it's nothing, really, but did you see the news yesterday?" "Special Vehicles fought the Black Labor!" "They even had a shot of my husband Miki, right there on TV!" "You missed it?" "He was amazing!" "I could copy it for you!" "The fight has sunk to a new low!" "No, it's no problem!" "Bye!" "Let's see..." "I'd better call Mama next!" "Oh, there's so much to do!" "Geez, why do I have to wear this?" "But it looks good on you!" "That was a low blow!" "We're still in danger." "Grin and bear it until we're out of Japan." "Good, I made it in time." "Shinohara and Izumi wanted to come... but the Ingram repairs are nearly finished." "Are you sure you can afford the time, Captain?" "Didn't they locate a section of the Black Labor?" "You're remarkably well informed." "Mr. Sakaki is checking into it." "It's rather strange." "Strange?" "Every Labor has dozens of telltale clues to its manufacturer." "For example, the Ingram differs from all other Shinohara Labors..." "But the auto-balance unit tags it as a Shinohara make." "Exactly." "But the Black Labor lacks any such features." "So it wasn'tjust an existing model in disguise." "Exactly." "And how did your investigation go?" "Three-S is now claiming to be the victim, since they lost Labors." "I tell you, if this had happened in America..." "Then I would have been a lot happier!" "I'm sure we'll meet again." "Take care." "Keep quiet!" "Excuse me..." "Could I trouble you for a light?" "Light?" "You are meaning "fire?"" "Yes, please." "Please to take candy, instead." "Candy?" "Candy is better for health than tobacco." "Odd." "I thought I smelled smoke on you." "Tobacco?" "I smelled fire." "Regrettably, little can be done about such smells." "Regrettably." "I'm going to take him for a test drive!" "But first..." "Now that you're repaired, it's time for a little polishing!" "She hasn't changed a bit." "When I looked out, the storm had passed a long time ago." "The morning dew betrays how yesterday's... sorrows have been washed away." "Dawn is let loose by unbolting the panels of night." "Even machines and the buildings all wake up." "Now I can see so far ahead, an unfolding panorama." "Wherever I watch from, I see a peaceful, happy island." "The thing I want to tell to you, the thing I want to show to you:" "The shining gate to our dreams lays open to us... right now before our eyes." "This story is fiction..." "but in 10 years, who knows?" "Division 2 hasn't tried for a long time." "Looks like its time for a refresher!" "Huh?" "Is it OK that we are absent from our duties?" "I don't think that's a good idea." "You've got nothing to worry about, it's all in your head!" "Hey, there are robbers in the area!" "Noa, where are you!" "?" "!" "?" "Next Time:" "Noa's Big Adventure." "Target, locked on!" "The AV-98, aka the Ingram patrol labor." "6.02 tons." "8.02 meters high." "SCB powered." "SCLM drive system." "Armed and ready for combat with a 37 millimeter revolver and stun baton." "Designed specifically for police use... to make a psychological impact on the community... to deter criminals while making the public feel safe." "You must not let go of your dreams" "And never turn your gaze away" "Yet even still love may cloud up and fade away" "And even though you comforted your love" "When he was feeling down" "Sadness was still weighing down his heavy heart" "Hang tight onto your dreams - they're weapons in your arsenal" "You'll find that you can get through anything at all" "So never cry - you know I will always be watching over you" "What I love about you is your strong sense of fairness" "So never cry - you know I will always be right there by your side" "And so now you can face your future fearlessly" "Noa's Big Adventure" "Police School" " Okutama Branch" "This time, Izumi, you'll find I'm not such an easy target!" "Remember, Noa, Ota's only good for a blind rush." "Just step out of his way." "Got it." "Side punch!" "What are you doing?" "Moving like that will burst your actuator!" "Shut up!" "When you're in a fight you have to improvise!" "It's only a practice session." "Now you've done it!" "How dare you!" "Hello, Shinobu." "No, we're only staying seven days." "Keep things under control until then." "Bye." "Hey, Goto." "This is pathetic." "Are you going to let every session deteriorate like this?" "It's realistic." "I give up!" "If you keep abusing the Ingrams like this... we'll never get good measurements." "Measurements?" "Movements and stresses under controlled conditions." "Isn't it enough that the Ingram can do what it does?" "How can the son of a great entrepreneur ask that?" "The boss would cry if he heard such talk." "Cry?" "My father?" "By learning from the Ingrams, we can craft the next generation." "And you used them so brilliantly at Haruumi and the Castle Gate." "My men were very impressed." "Oh, no!" "He's scratched here, too!" "He's scratched all over!" "Par for the course in hand-to-hand combat!" "You should cry less and practice more!" "What's wrong?" "What's the big sigh for?" "Nothing." "Ota moved better than I expected him to." "Is that all?" "That's all." "I'm all bruised." "And after training so hard!" "Maybe I'm no good after all." "I wish I could see some positive results." "There!" "Hey..." "I think you hit it." "Asuma, how'd I do?" "See for yourself." "I'd rather have you tell me." "All of them hit the target!" "Or the board." "I never even practice, and I'm still pretty good!" "Then why don't you use your gun more?" "This cannon, inside city limits?" "It might be useful, once in a while." "Then this is good enough." "I can't understand her." "What?" "She's mad when her machine gets a scratch." "The gun would cut down on her hand-to-hand combat." "It could be worse." "Ota's too eager to shoot." "He wastes ammo, so he needs hand-to-hand for a fallback." "More bullets!" "Those cartridges are expensive!" "You need to pace yourself!" "But I need more bullets, or this practice is pointless!" "We didn't requisition very many..." "You done?" "Let's see..." "Well?" "Maybe Izumi is correct to avoid guns." "Her accuracy is terrible." "Well if Ota's so great, why doesn't he hit the target more often?" "Actually..." "Take a look." "He may not hit his opponent's head, but he's pretty good." "Then why does he miss so often?" "It's hard to hit a moving target, especially a limb." "This is boring." "Next!" "For a second, I thought I might be a natural marksman." "Miss Izumi, what are you doing here?" "Oh, Hiromi." "You don't look very happy." "Oh, it's nothing." "What about you, Hiromi?" "Aren't you lonely, taking classes by yourself?" "No." "Since I can't train as a pilot, I'm learning emergency repairs." "Now I'll be able to help out if you get damaged in a fight." "It sounds like fun!" "Well, they said I have a knack for it." "Oh." "Congratulations." "What's wrong?" "Let me show you again." "I can't pick it up instantly." "I didn't grow up with computers like you, Asuma." "Why are you sulking?" "I'd like to continue, but I need dinner, first." "Maybe the restaurant downhill is still open." "Let's draw straws." "No." "I'll go." "Thirty miles per hour over the speed limit!" "Could it be?" "Babylon!" "Babylon!" "I knew it!" "20,000 yen!" "I can see movies, eat fine food, play Patlabor!" "What am I talking about!" "Get going!" "And I'm off!" "What's keeping Noa?" "I was hoping she'd be back before Ota got out of the bath." "Here comes Ota!" "Where's Noa?" "Ah, nice bath." "This..." "This smells like a case!" "Is Izumi here or not?" "Answer me!" "Calm down!" "Where'd she go at this hour, Asuma?" "Well, we were hungry." "She's AWOL!" "It's a blatant disregard for regulations!" "We know!" "Don't shout!" "What's going on?" "There was a robbery in Itabashi, and the suspect fled this way." "We think he's heading into the mountains." "It's that car I saw." "Danger" "That idiot!" "She's following the trail upstream?" "What if she finds the burglar?" "Captain Goto." "HQ is calling." "There's no need for a dragnet " "I get it!" "Just because Second Section is on hand... we're shanghaied into catching criminals." "Good thing you're always so prepared." "Izumi's an idiot, but she's also a colleague." "Isao Ota will give her attacker the clenched fist ofjustice!" "What a nice guy." "Or at least, not a bad guy." "What's with Noa?" "She isn't the type to run off on her own." "Noa's been acting kind of strange today." "Ouch." "Help me!" "Don't be scared." "I won't hurt you." "We're splitting into groups." "Ota, follow the river upstream." "Shinohara and Yamazaki, take the radio and go with him." "I have to go with this lunkhead?" "Who's a lunkhead?" "Shinshi, you're with me." "We'll look for lzumi's bike." "Well, let's move, people!" "Let's go." "I know!" "You don't have to say it!" "Ouch." "I offered to carry your bag." "No, never!" "Anything but that!" "Suspicious." "Promise not to tell the police about my money!" "I can't do that." "How can you be so cruel?" "I've got it!" "Wait right here!" "What if I give you this?" "What's that?" "You can have more, if you keep quiet!" "Don't be an idiot." "Let's go." "Okay, how about TWO stacks?" "What's that?" "I found it in the river." "It fell out of your bag, so I'm returning it." "Kids these days are so uptight!" "How could Izumi run off like this?" "We were so close by!" "She should have called us when she spotted the cash!" "That undisciplined upstart!" "Fine, just keep moving." "I'm only going to say this once!" "If those criminals hurt Izumi, I'll beat them to a pulp!" "Are you sure you can't keep quiet about the money?" "I told you, I can't do that." "And there are bills in the river." "I'm sure the police are coming." "You could say you don't know where they came from." "But I DO know." "You're so stubborn!" "You're as pigheaded as a cop!" "I AM a cop." "Who?" "Me." "No!" "Yes." "This is terrible!" "Money doesn't look so fine when you need to hide it." "And what a waste " "Izumi!" "Get away from him!" "He's a burglar!" "Burglar?" "I'm no burglar!" "Enough!" "That ill-gotten booty under your arm is proof enough!" "Captain, we've found Izumi." "Yes, thank you." "I can see that." "So how do you explain all this cash?" "Ota, don't be so rough!" "This guy says he isn't a burglar!" "That's true." "Yeah, you burglars are all alike!" "What?" "They've already captured the burglar." "Didn't I mention that?" "Captain, we'd appreciate it if you wouldn't treat us so flippantly." "Sorry." "We were really worried about Noa." "Fool!" "I was simply focused on capturing the criminal." "I could have cared less what happened to Izumi." "I quote: "If those criminals hurt Izumi, I'll beat them to a pulp!"" "Oh, that!" "I'm just concerned about my colleagues." "That was a perfectly acceptable remark." "Right, Captain?" "Why are you blushing?" "I don't get it." "This whole mess is your fault!" "Don't you understand that?" "What's that about?" "All that pressure had to come out somehow." "Officer's room" "You know how to handle the paperwork, don't you?" "Turn it in tomorrow." "Uh..." "What?" "Aren't you going to reprimand me?" "Oh, yeah." "Try not to get in trouble out of sight of your backup." "That's all." "Yes, sir." "Thank you, sir." "You must be cold." "Go take a hot bath." "Thanks." "Shinohara?" "Did she say anything?" "About what?" "About tonight!" "She isn't the type to run off on her own." "I agree." "I'd expect her to run back yelling, "I found money in the river!"" "So do you have any idea why she acted the way she did?" "Well..." "I have a suspicion." "I heard there was 50 million yen in that bag." "We should be suspicious of anyone carrying a wad like that!" "Maybe he was hiding laundered money, and he slipped." "It's been three minutes." "I think you're right." "Yeah." "Well, I can't help." "Anything I said would be taken as an order." "YOU do the counseling." "Me?" "She's your partner." "This should come from the command car." "Can I ask you one question?" "Do you really think that everyone in Division 2 is in the right post?" "I don't have to answer that." "Do I look like I'd make a mistake like that?" "Why did you want to see me?" "When you saw that 10,000 yen bill in the river... you knew it was a case, didn't you?" "Didn't you think about alerting us?" "How can I explain it?" "I had to find the source right away." "I'll try to be more careful next time." "You weren't trying to prove yourself?" "What makes you think that?" "Long ago at school, there was a benchwarmer for the rugby team." "One game, he got his big chance." "The ball was passed to him, and the field was totally clear." "He thought, "I'm clear!" He never thought of passing." "He ran and ran, but inches from the goal, he was tackled." "His team won, but he went back to being a benchwarmer." "Nice try, kid." "And that was you?" "It's the story of someone who misjudged the situation." "Well, maybe I was looking for a little recognition... but you're all so much better than I am." ""Everyone is in the proper post in Division 2." The Captain said so." "You proved it, when you fought the Black Labor." "You do plenty." "Maybe you're right." "Believe in yourself." "Make the best of what you've got." "Asuma..." "She's back!" "She's back!" "Who's going to do it?" "Do what?" "It should be Ota." "After all, he's her teammate." "You're right." "What?" "What?" "Presentation of the bouquet." "Forget it!" "Quit whining!" "Yamazaki, you do it!" "What, me?" "Good morning, everyone!" "I'm back." "Do it right, bozo!" "Congratulations on your full recovery." "Thank you." "When I looked out, the storm had passed a long time ago." "The morning dew betrays how yesterday's... sorrows have been washed away." "Dawn is let loose by unbolting the panels of night." "Even machines and the buildings all wake up." "Now I can see so far ahead, an unfolding panorama;" "Wherever I watch from, I see a peaceful, happy island." "The thing I want to tell to you, the thing I want to show to you:" "The shining gate to our dreams lays open to us... right now before our eyes." "This story is fiction..." "but in 10 years, who knows?" "If you destroy something, it's OK!" "You're insured!" "But when you destroy property you have to fill out LOTS of paperwork!" "The insurance company has sent an agent to watch over us... because we've caused SO MUCH damage!" "There's a limit to how much you can control!" "We really tried to do our best in front of the agent!" "Next Time:" "I'm Selling Peace of Mind." "Target, locked on!" "The AV-98, aka the Ingram patrol labor." "6.02 tons." "8.02 meters high."

"Watch out!" "He's firing a rocket!" "Good move, Ota!" "It takes skill!" "Orjust brute strength." "What did you say?" "He's getting away." "Come on, Ota." "Stop!" "Stop or I'll shoot!" "Wait!" "Watch out for the cars!" "Take this!" "How dare you resist arrest!" "We need to reenact the whole incident?" "Yes." "Why on earth do we have to do that?" "Because of the parked cars Ota trampled." "Our insurance company insists on it." "They're worried about how many claims we've been filing." "But why?" "We've never had to do this before!" "We already told them everything." "Aren't we covered for any accident in the line of duty?" "Listen " "Well why do we have insurance then?" "That's right!" "Our insurance was designed to cover Patlabors." "That's why it's so expensive!" "So why do we need some stupid reenactment?" "Hey, it isn't your money." "What?" "Anyway... they've already scheduled us all for the walk-through." "All of us?" "That's right." "We don't have all day." "But we need an exact re-creation." "Then we'll need full access to the site." "But they're in the middle of construction." "I wish we didn't have to do this." "I'm so sorry I'm late." "I'm Naoyo Yamada, the inspector assigned to this claim." "Where's the captain?" "Over there." "So this is where you pulled him to a stop." "I attempted to stop the criminal as quickly as possible." "Yes, I'm sure you're very diligent in your duty." "Of course!" "Still, his exit was blocked by the Labor carrier." "I'm sure you were driving him back carefully." "Well, uh..." "Good." "We just need to confirm it." "Let's move to the scene of the capture." "Miss Izumi, you can stand in for the villain." "The villain?" "Why do I have to be the bad guy?" "And this is where the cars were." "All right, please begin." "Remember, this isn't for real." "Of course." "I used full speed to close the distance." "Stop!" "Stop!" "And then?" "Once I was sure I had him stopped, I pulled back." "No pivoting of the leg." "How many seconds did that take?" "Three or four." "Yes, that's about right." "Mr. Ota, your recorders say you lifted the target for 0.8 seconds." "Would you do that, too?" "Roger." "Car B" "Thank you." "That will do fine." "That was too rough!" "Thank you." "I appreciate the use of your equipment." "Oh, no problem." "I have no feel for machines." "The reports don't tell me enough." "But now I have a better idea." "I have a bit of a feel for Miss Ingra." "Miss Ingra?" "Sorry." "It's easier to remember if I give the machines nicknames." "If you don't mind, I'd..." "The main office will make their decision and contact you soon." "What a waste of time!" "After all our hard work... it's still up to the insurance company!" "That's the way it always works." "Why won't our premiums go down?" "They'd like to prove negligence, so they don't have to pay." "How can we do ourjob... if we have to worry about insurance?" "But we couldn't do our job without insurance." "Are you one of their paid spies?" "Of course not!" "I won't be beaten by a bunch of bean counters!" "Ota, want any tea?" "I've grown too complacent about destruction." "I won't disagree." "You think so?" "Your insurance claims are eight times higher than ours." "I suspected that, but... eight times?" "Our new dictator has arrived." "I think Ota is right." "He's a good officer, but he can't see anything except his target." "Fancy meeting you here!" "About our claim..." "Let me explain." "Patlabor insurance is highly specialized." "The conditions of a claim are nearly impossible to reproduce... so I've been asked to accompany you, until another accident occurs." "I apologize for the inconvenience." "Now let's get back to work." "Say..." "Where did everyone go?" "I don't know!" "I'm going to the restroom." "Take your time." "Washroom" "Well?" "I don't think she suspects." "I'm against it!" "It's misuse of official funds!" "Not that." "How can we sway Judge Judy out there?" "Just flatter her." "Pile on the compliments!" "She does have discretionary authority." "We have no choice." "Use our best tea." "I know." "Does this look about right?" "Up close, it's really quite an impressive machine." "I know it's hard to work with a stranger underfoot." "Thanks for giving me a desk." "It's nothing." "And you have such a hard job." "It's my chosen career, so I've never thought of it as hard." "You're an amazing man, Ota." "I'm nothing special." "Despite all my work on this case, the main office is stubborn." "Insurance should be there to help people like you, Mr. Ota." "All done!" "Thank you very much!" "Oh, this tea is quite excellent!" "Really?" "Have you seen that insurance adjuster?" "I wish they'd sent somebody younger." "What a cushy job." "Watch your mouths." "Her report means a lot to us, so be careful what you say." "Oh, I see!" "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Don't get any ideas!" "She's the one who insisted on sewing up my shirt." "Such trivialities won't change my opinion about our insurance." "But it doesn't hurt that she's so nice." "Maybe you're starting to see her point of view." "Don't start imagining things!" "Tea's ready." "Well then, let's eat." "That looks fabulous!" "I wasn't sure you'd like this." "This took a lot of time!" "Oh, it's no harder than cooking for one." "You don't have to go out of your way for us." "Oh, not at all." "It's important for me to see how you all work." "Of course, but..." "Where's Ota?" "I'll go get him." "I seem to have upset Mr. Ota somehow." "Ota!" "What are you doing here?" "What does it look like?" "I'm eating." "Ms. Yamada brought lunch." "Don't you want to eat with us?" "We shouldn't get too chummy." "She and I both have work to do." "You worry too much about formalities, Ota." "Does anyone care that she isn't part of the force?" "What about lunch?" "We'll eat it later!" "What a job!" "They don't even have time for lunch." "A terrorist group has stolen a heavy-duty Labor and its carrier." "Fortunately, the carrier had a location transponder." "We'll ambush them at Ichinoe, Loop 7." "How can you ambush them in the middle of Tokyo traffic?" "First, we're sending in unmarked cars." "In pursuit." "Please fall back." "As they near the ambush, patrol cars will pull in front." "We've blocked the opposite lanes, so we'll intercept them here." "We can pull this off because of the location transponder." "It's real-time." "Now." "That's far enough!" "Operation complete." "Ota, pull in the back end of the trailer." "Roger." "Perhaps insuring Patlabors was just a bad idea in the first place." "Good point." "This area's off limits." "Let me through!" "I have to get my bike." "I hope Ms. Yamada isn't mad." "Please, don't remind me." "Your policy doesn't cover that bike." "Of course not." "You wrecked my bike!" "You're so mean!" "Isao Ota Division 2" "There's no line for an explanation." "It was entirely my fault." "Uh..." "What?" "May I have permission to leave the station?" "A bike?" "Yes." "A woman stopped by from the Patlabor insurance company." "I see." "An Ingram!" "Cool!" "Take that!" "And that!" "And that!" "What are you doing to your new present?" "This is what happened!" "Thank you." "I'm sorry about this..." "No, I'm the one who should apologize." "Mister, you're so cool!" "Ota, it's incredible!" "They've renewed our coverage!" "And all previous claims have been approved!" "Really?" "Ms. Yamada pulled off a miracle!" "Actually, she's the company's director." "Apparently, she worked her way up from the sales floor." "She said, "Charity is a good investment."" "You can't be serious!" "May I speak to you?" "Go on ahead." "About the bike..." "You went to his house?" "How like you, Mr. Ota." "So responsible." "I'll reimburse you." "Not at all." "I took it out of company expenses." "But..." "You work so hard, I can't let you be distracted by petty details." "I was just trying to help out." "Don't worry about it." "There must be some way I can repay you!" "Well, perhaps..." "NOW, EVEN MORE DEVOTED TO DUTY" "SAFETYFIRST!" "PROTECTED BYNEW LABOR DAMAGE INSURANCE" "I guess she can read people pretty well." "Ota, you're famous!" "How could I refuse?" "How, indeed?"

"And if we find any treasure we'll divide it up evenly." "Asuma, do you believe in astrology?" "My horoscope says items that are white and the # 4 are bad luck!" "So what?"

"What's going on here?" "Kubo, did you start this?" "That little pervert stole all the fish I was drying!" "How dare you insult my precious Kumiko!" "Shut up!" "So what's the damage?" "Let's see, three full layers... that's 240 fish." "240?" "Nice story, but no cat on Earth can eat 240 fish!" "Maybe it dug a hole and hid them!" "You're thinking of a dog." "Anyway, she's sick of your stinking fish!" "It isn't even fit for seagulls!" "Why you!" "Is this what started the fight?" "Good specimen." "Very well preserved." "This batch was perfect!" "Decent aroma." "You like it?" "I marinade it for six hours before smoking it." "You're a true connoisseur!" "I knew you'd appreciate true art!" "Men like us..." "You idiot!" "We don't have time for this!" "Are you cooks or mechanics?" "And Kazu - who told you it was okay to bring in a feral cat?" "Er... um..." "If you're busy with cooking and pets, you don't need time to fish!" "You won't be needing the speedboat!" "Fishing is forbidden until further notice!" "But, Sir!" "If I say it's forbidden, it's forbidden!" "Shige, finish up here." "In light of what just happened..." "Kubo and Ito are assigned two weeks of bathroom duty." "Now get back to work!" "The Underground Mystery Tour" "So, have you noticed something odd around here recently?" "Whaddya mean?" "I'm not sure, but it seems like a lot of things have gone missing lately." "Maybe I'm just being forgetful." "Didn't we get cream?" "I bought some yesterday." "Isn't it on the shelf?" "Wasn't someone complaining about losing his pickled meat?" "The Captain lost some whiskey out of his locked liquor cabinet." "The good stuff he got three years ago in Hachioji?" "I didn't want to say anything... but since we don't get many visitors... it must be someone here." "You lost something?" "Just some rice crackers and chocolate." "Not much." "I thought Asuma had eaten it." "Hey!" "What's wrong, Hiromi?" "Kimie..." "Kimie and Miyoko!" "They were here last night." "I was just coming to feed them." "Wild dogs?" "Lto's "little pervert?"" "This is no longer funny." "It doesn't look like anyone broke in, and the cage is still secure." "Hiromi!" "Whether this is an insider or someone from the outside... this is definitely a crime." "We have to stop this." "Starting tonight, we'll mount an armed watch!" "I guess we'd better." "We'd probably better clear this with the Captain." "Fine with me." "Who's there?" "Attack, Wyndham!" "That's strange." "I thought we had him cornered." "Come out, villain!" "Shige, over here!" "Good boy!" "Look, Shige!" "I never heard about any tunnel." "I'm not surprised." "It was used to haul garbage out to the landfill." "It was closed before Special Vehicles moved in." "Once the landfill was finished, they no longer needed it... but the tunnels still crisscross this entire area." "So how do you know this?" "I heard people talking, way back." "Some workers died in the tunnel." "Their bodies were never found." "At least, that was the story." "How gruesome." "Hardly surprising." "These things happen." "I'll bet they thought closing the tunnel solved the problem." "Can we seal it with concrete?" "I know it's only food, and this may be beyond ourjurisdiction... but this is a violation of police property." "We should solve this." "Yeah, but..." "So that's it." "HQ won't give us backup on such a trivial case... but we ARE policemen." "We can handle this ourselves." "Yourjob is to capture the fugitive who's hiding down there." "Thank you both for volunteering for this difficult assignment." "Captain Nagumo looks happy." "She got to dump it all on us." "We're the only choice." "Division 1 is on standby." "Close it up." "Hey, Ota, isn't it kind of creepy down here?" "Show some backbone." "This is Ota." "Commencing search." "Over." "This is HQ." "Activate your transponder." "Over." "It was short notice, but I was able to dig up a really old map." "Still, we're better off with it than without it." "Are Ota and Shinshi going to be okay?" "Why wouldn't they be?" "Ota!" "We're ready, Sir." "It's been two hours since we lost contact with Ota and Shinshi." "We don't know what happened, but since their radio is out... we must presume there is some difficulty." "This may be a simple case, or..." "A monster." "Recovering Ota and Shinshi is your top priority." "Proceed with caution, and stay in contact." "Officer Kumagami and three men, departing on the search." "Good luck!" "Try not to get killed!" "Take care!" "Maybe we should've just sealed it." "There are things in this world that it's best not to tamper with." "Is it working?" "This program's a last minute rush job." "A real clunker." "Signal received." "Good, pipe it through." "This is Hawkwind." "Do you read me?" "Reading you loud and clear." "We're 20 meters north, now heading east." "It's much larger than I expected." "Should we pull them out, or send in reinforcements?" "What's wrong?" "They're picking up movement." "About 50 meters ahead of them." "Asuma!" "Something's moving." "It's coming this way!" "What's wrong Shinohara?" "Lzumi?" "Man, that surprised me!" "Ouch!" "Noa, are you all right?" "I think so." "Hiromi?" "You're sitting on me." "Miss Kumagami fainted, but I think she's okay." "I'm sure she's happier that way." "Noa, turn on your flashlight." "I dropped it when we fell." "Do you still have your flare?" "Use that." "Um..." "Shinohara!" "Lzumi!" "Answer me!" "Kumagami, report!" "We've lost their signal." "I don't know where they are." "What now?" "Send in another wave of kids?" "Too risky." "We still don't know what's down there." "Contact HQ." "What was that?" "Maybe we should have sealed it?" "Time for an equipment check." "Noa, you go first." "I have two shells for my M-31, flares, and three caramels." "I lost everything in the panic back there." "I have two shotguns and three shells." "I'm getting scared." "And now for the really bad news." "What?" "I lost the radio." "We can't contact the surface." "Oh?" "That's not all." "I dropped the transponder, too." "Then how are we going to get back?" "We're completely lost." "What'll we do?" "Got any ideas?" "How should I know?" "Then how do you expect me to know?" "So where are you leading us?" "I was just wondering that myself." "Hey..." "What?" "About those rats..." "What about them?" "Wasn't it kind of weird?" "Yeah, so?" "They just ignored us." "It was like something was chasing them." "Come on, what could possibly chase a huge pack of rats?" "Well..." "Shinshi!" "Asuma!" "I was so scared!" "It was horrible!" "Okay, everything's all right now." "What happened?" "An alligator!" "A HUGE alligator!" "Kimie!" "How could they do this to you?" "Where are we?" "This is the Captain's whiskey!" "Look, it says "Goto."" "This is incredible!" "This stuff looks awfully familiar." "We've found the thief's hideout!" "This guy is really riding high on the hog!" "After him!" "Halt!" "Wait!" "Stop!" "Fumihiro Tadayama, 42 years old." "He was a temp worker at the landfill, back in the fall of 1990." "After a spell of unemployment, he returned to the landfill... into the tunnels." "He's been stealing water and power and living like a king." "And they say there's nothing but garbage in a landfill." "But there's no food." "He stole a little at a time, so we wouldn't get suspicious." "The lonely emperor of a secret underground kingdom." "Was he truly happy down there?" "Shinobu, are YOU happy?" "Seal it up." "We look after our own." "We always return, even from the depths of hell." "We return to ensure that no man may ever repeat our errors." "When I looked out, the storm had passed a long time ago." "The morning dew betrays how yesterday's... sorrows have been washed away." "Dawn is let loose by unbolting the panels of night." "Even machines and the buildings all wake up." "Now I can see so far ahead, an unfolding panorama;" "Wherever I watch from, I see a peaceful, happy island." "The thing I want to tell to you, the thing I want to show to you:" "The shining gate to our dreams lays open to us... right now before our eyes." "This story is fiction..." "but in 10 years, who knows?" "The A.V.S. 98 Mark 2?" "What is that?" "Shinohara Industry's newest labor, a mass market prototype!" "It's got great power and maneuvering." "It's awesome!" "So, it's different from the last prototype?" "Yeah, my grandfather is marketing it as the BEST labor ever!" "I don't believe the hype." "Then, why don't YOU try it out?" "Next Episode:" "Mass Market Product Plan!" "Target, locked on!" "The AV-98, aka the Ingram Patrol Labor." "6.02 tons." "8.02 meters high." "SCB powered." "SCLM drive system." "Armed and ready for combat with a 37 millimeter revolver and stun baton." "Designed specifically for police use... to make a psychological impact on the community... to deter criminals while making the public feel safe."

"Another all-nighter for the mechanics." "It's probably like comparing a normal car to a Formula 1." "An Ingram takes a lot more work than a simple production Labor." "Well, I work on my skills a lot, too." "If you don't mind..." "This is illegal." "Don't be a spoilsport." "So Asuma, if we used a mass production model, would the mechanics have less work?" "Sure, compared to now." "But we saw the economy model at Haruumi." "It was rejected." "That model was rejected." "But the next version is being designed purely for police use." "Division 1 is dying for an upgrade." "But the important thing is, we do need a production model for nationwide use." "You don't believe me?" "If you say so, then it must be true." "No, no, I mean about the quality of the new version." "I won't believe that until I can test it." "What?" "Nothing." "You're weird." "We've had some pretty rough months." "What did you want to see me for?" "A business trip." "Huh?" "Shinohara Industries has asked us to test their new police Labor." "It figures." "What?" "Nothing." "So I'm sending you to their research lab." "I'm doing the test?" "Yes, and Ota will test it a few days later." "I'm going to send Gomioka, too." "But you get to be first." "Have fun." "Yes, sir." "Excuse me..." "Mr. Sakaki?" "I heard." "Did you drop by just to say goodbye to me?" "I'm not sure how I should test it." "These tests are to find problems in piloting and operation." "Complain about anything at all that doesn't feel right." "Do your best." "Your opinions will help shape future police Labors." "Yes, sir." "...and that pushed it into the heavyweight class." "I think we've now got the power up to a satisfactory level." "We've completely redesigned the data and control architecture." "We've surpassed the Ingram in total processing power." "Of course... the architecture." "Electronics have advanced since the Ingram's day, so I'm afraid the poor Ingram is showing its age." "We built this facility entirely for this test." "It's top secret!" "Ready!" "It certainly looks impressive." "You can't judge a book by its cover." "The layout's the same, and we're using the old monitor." "Okay!" "Let's begin." "Go slowly at first." "Roger." "Here I go." "Go ahead." "I don't feel much response." "The handling is completely different." "If it doesn't work easily, don't strain yourself." "Uh, okay!" "He doesn't move quite right." "He's certainly strong." "Well, it's not for me." "So Gomioka gave it 80 points, but you gave it only 60 points." "You didn't have a very good impression." "He was way too sluggish." "The controls didn't have much feedback." "He didn't respond well." "It was pretty good for a production model." "The power issue will be the big question." "So Noa went two days ago, and Gomioka went yesterday..." "The question is, what will Ota think of today's test?" "How was it, Ota?" "Izumi, you're too biased." "I know you love the Ingrams, particularly Alphonse, but a test pilot has to be impartial!" "So what was your opinion?" "Come on, Izumi, why were you so down on the new model?" "So, Ota, you gave the new model a good score?" "Of course!" "Its strength alone qualifies it to replace the Ingram." "Don't you agree, Gomioka?" "I agree that it's strong, but I've never used an Ingram." "So you can't compare on that count." "So we have a split vote in the jury." "I think you'll be pleasantly surprised." "Oh?" "Please begin." "Yes." "It's completely different." "Is this even the same machine?" "Care for some coffee?" "No, thank you." "Okay." "It seemed different, didn't it?" "Sure did!" "It was like a different machine." "It's still a bit sluggish, but the jittery feeling is completely gone." "That's all thanks to you, Ota, and Gomioka." "We're analyzing every move you pilots make, then we recalibrate the Labor's response to your inputs." "We're optimizing for smoother, more precise movement." "So all our tests..." "You're helping gather data through your piloting responses." "The challenge was to improve the economy model." "This is our solution." "We aim to create a production model that's easy to operate." "I think..." "I will have a cup of coffee, after all." "Heh, ok." "A computer is just another tool." "It can't do everything." "Computer analysis is useful, but take it with a grain of salt." "But..." "Any machine with lots of moving parts has its own idiosyncrasies." "Even Labors of the same make have differences between them." "The servo power may differ." "The pilot has to compensate for that." "I don't really understand." "But couldn't that be compensated for by computer control?" "It could." "Then the skill of the pilot is unimportant." "If there are any problems with the new model, complain to the techs." "I don't know what to say." "I can't make up my mind." "There's something not right about it." "Take that!" "Well?" "Speed and power are up 15%, on average." "How long do you want to run through these stupid exercises?" "For a real test, you need a practice fight!" "I want a practice fight!" "It keeps getting better and better." "She's fast!" "That's what a good pilot can do for you." "Did you capture that run?" "Of course." "Mr. Gomioka should match this time on his next run." "It still doesn't feel quite right." "...but you're still getting used to it." "I guess so..." "I know it doesn't quite have the feel of an Ingram." "Yeah, but it seems like I never quite hit what I'm aiming at." "Our data shows that you're only off by a few centimeters." "That should certainly be good enough." "We're very satisfied with these tests." "This new model has turned into a very impressive machine." "What, a test fight?" "Yes." "Upper management has given the green light." "And you want one of my men?" "I see." "Okay." "They want a test fight with an Ingram?" "They say the other tests are done." "They sound pretty confident." "They probably wouldn't ask for a fight if they thought they'd lose." "So who are you going to send?" "That's a problem..." "Captain!" "Why did you pick Izumi instead of me?" "You lost the coin toss." "Sorry." "But..." "Are you accusing me of cheating on the coin toss?" "No, sir, but..." "Next time, choose heads." "But what if Izumi loses?" "What then?" "Do you think that's likely?" "You don't know how strong this new model is!" "I'm sure they'll show me." "Captain!" "Please let me fight!" "Mind the shop while I'm gone." "If he wants to do it so badly, why can't we trade places?" "Captain, was that coin toss on the level?" "You doubt me, too?" "Does no one trust their captain?" "Are you afraid of fighting this new model?" "Of course." "But that's not the problem." "You think that if you lose, we'll switch to the new model." "Alphonse... won't lose." "This is Yamamoto, one of our men." "Pleased to meet you." "Yamamoto just finished his training here." "He'll be using pre-programmed reflexes taken from the tests." "I see." "The new model will attack." "The Ingram must capture him." "Sound reasonable?" "Please try not to damage our Ingram." "It'll be fine." "Are you ready?" "Yes." "Well, let's begin." "Yes, thank you for your help." "Ok, let's start." "Impossible!" "It's not over yet!" "Yamamoto, that's enough." "...so they've suspended plans for a production model police Labor." "There are no other upgrade plans for Second Section." "What do you think of that, Ota?" "What do you want me to say?" "Whatever." "This must be hard on Division 1." "Once again, their upgrade plans have been derailed." "They've canceled the new police Labor, and Gomioka won't become the captain of a new division." "They said that?" "They will." "I can't accept this!" "Division 1 needs that new model, and we desperately need new divisions!" "I understand your feelings." "The new Labors may have been production units, but they're vastly superior to our Pythons!" "Think of what we could do with those new machines!" "Lt. Gomioka... be patient." "Could we do our job if Tokyo were flooded with identical Labors?" "Anything that Division 1 receives must surpass the Ingram." "That's what this delay is really about." "A Labor that surpasses the Ingram?" "I figured it out." "I know why the new model felt wrong." "I complain and you adjust." "You tweak and adjust everything until it's perfect." "We didn't go far enough." "The new model never got a custom tune-up." "I just spoke with Mr. Jitsuyama on the phone." "He still has hopes for creating a successor to the Ingram." "Then..." "But he agrees, they can't match our smooth, precise movements, without expert tuning and top-notch piloting." "And to get that in a general-purpose Labor, it needs to adapt itself to the idiosyncrasies of a single pilot." "So it's back to the drawing board." "He said he'll keep trying to improve on the Ingram." "We don't need a new model." "Alphonse is perfect." "When I looked out, the storm had passed a long time ago." "The morning dew betrays how yesterday's... sorrows have been washed away." "Dawn is let loose by unbolting the panels of night." "Even machines and the buildings all wake up." "Now I can see so far ahead, an unfolding panorama." "Wherever I watch from, I see a peaceful, happy island." "The thing I want to tell to you, the thing I want to show to you:" "The shining gate to our dreams lays open to us, right now before our eyes." "This story is fiction... but in 10 years, who knows?" "A scary monster awakens near a small town off the coast." "One of the town's elders tells us a mysterious legend." "Let's meet up with that monster." "Do you see him?" "How will we make him come out?" "Science versus myth." "Isn't it romantic?" "Next episode:" "Orders of the Coast Guard Target, locked on!"

"There's no turning back now." "Well, then, go to it." "It's Plessie." "Orders of the Coast Guard" "It happened last night around 10 p.m." "A report came in that something was happening out at the shrine." "I saw it!" "I saw it, I tell you!" "Hold on, Katsuji." "Wait your turn!" "I gathered some young men and initiated a search." "I saw it!" "Be quiet!" "What did you see?" "I..." "We found this man, and saved him from drowning." "Drowning?" "I saw it!" "Saw what?" "I saw it..." "Katsuji!" "I've told you not to go so close to the shrine." "You dropped lobster traps there, didn't you?" "I saw it!" "Naturally." "Plessie's nest is near the shrine." "Plessie?" "Mmm." "I'm speaking of a long-necked reptile." "Its fossil record spans the late Mesozoic to the mid-Jurassic." "Rumor says one lives in Loch Ness, too." "You can't mean... a plesiosaurus!" "Yep." "Maybe you saw a shark, and made a mistake." "I'm a fisherman." "I don't make that kind of mistake." "But if you have... why isn't your town world famous?" "The entire village has been working to avoid that fame." "Why?" "The scientists would ruin our fishing grounds." "We'd starve." "You idiot!" "Thanks to you, all our hard work is completely ruined!" "What should we do?" "We're under the coast guard's jurisdiction." "Then let's do it!" "Well, all right." "Call Ota and the others." "Yes, sir!" "All right!" "Stop!" "It's too narrow, Hiromi." "What's going on up here?" "I'm sorry." "A tighter turn would hit the mountainside." "But your wheel is going over the edge." "Shinshi, raise the deck for machine 2." "How come?" "If the carriers can't take us in, we'll have to walk." "Oh, that's right..." "Try using your brain the next time you face the unexpected." "And here he is:" "Officer Ota, the master of improvisation!" "Hello, viewers." "This is Special Vehicles, Second Section, the Gargoyles of the Capitol." "Behind them is a trail of crying babies and toppled tombstones." "Ahead of them lies a penniless fishing village." "Ha." "I won." "The unrivaled Second Section!" "Who will be their next victim?" "Might as well be comfortable, if you're standing guard." "The rest of your team is enjoying themselves." "Here." "Thanks." "Shikura Village Men's League Plessie Protection Committee" "You seem rather well prepared." "That's so." "Is that so?" "Yep." "That's so." "How about this one?" "Yeah, a perfect impression." "What are they doing?" "They're taking a souvenir footprint." "A souvenir?" "Yep." "That's so." "Whatever." "Here, have a drink." "I'm sorry, but we're on duty." "That was then, this is now." "Your captain's asleep." "We really can't." "Please." "Please." "We really appreciate the show." "It's nothing." "Just leftover stock from last year." "Should we be doing this?" "Why not?" "Those reporters are right around the corner." "They're just waiting for action, too." "Besides, they'd rather report on Plessie than us." "Ingram vs. Dinosaur?" "Ah." "Don't kill Plessie." "What?" "If you do catch her, don't you dare hurt her!" "It's a miracle she managed to survive so many billions of years." "Please be gentle with her." "We promise, sir." "Look at this!" "The new hot spot is Shikurahama Bay!" "Everyone wants to see the battle of the century, as that scientific wonder, the mighty police Ingram, battles a prehistoric monster shrouded in mystery!" "Who will win?" "The Ingram?" "Plessie?" "Send your votes to your local station!" "What's going on here?" "I guess nobody has anything better to do." "No, don't rub those grubby hands on my Alphonse!" "Oh, no, too late!" "I understand the excitement." "I would have come to see, too." "They have no idea of the danger they're facing!" "Please keep your distance!" "The reef is dangerous!" "That's where Plessie's nest is!" "If Plessie is real, this crowd's going to be quite a problem." "Miss Izumi," "I think we should recharge Alphonse soon." "What?" "You're going to bring the carrier through that traffic jam?" "That would be one sweet piece of driving." "If I start walking, they'll have to get out of my way." "Ota!" "That attitude is what keeps our accident rate so high." "Yes, right..." "Okay, I'll walk to the carrier if you save my spot, Asuma!" "Your spot?" "This stretch of beach where Alphonse is standing." "All right..." "Reserved for Special Vehicles, Second Section" "Excuse me..." "Okay." "Thank you!" "Sure..." "Officer Asuma, after machine one is charged, could you save our space, too?" "Where did the captain go?" "He said he had to talk to the prefecture police." "He gets all the luck." "They certainly look healthy." "Anyway, since nothing's happening, they're going to pull us out tomorrow." "I see." "What if Plessie comes ashore to terrorize the tourists?" "I saw it!" "Thanks." "Then it's the Coast Guard's problem." "Is that so?" "Yes, that's so." "Are we pulling out?" "They're so well prepared here, I'm sure they can handle it." "Here." "I don't think it's poisoned." "We can't let the Patlabors leave." "If the Patlabors stay, the TV crews stay." "The only thing useful we ever catch in August is jellyfish." "Our dreams of development have vanished, along with all the young women." "Our nation has forsaken us!" "We have to do whatever we can to restore this village!" "We tried hot springs." "We salted the beach with gold dust." "We became sister city to Jakarta." "And every scheme ended in failure." "Our treasury is empty." "It's time to end this losing streak!" "We need a home run hit that will blow away our bad luck!" "Plessie is our trump card." "This is going to save our village!" "But, sir, Plessie's still a bit too much for us." "We need more time." "We've run out of time, the Patlabors leave in the morning." "But..." "The people on shore need something to stir them up." "Something doesn't feel right." "There are too many tourists, but that's typical." "Isn't it a bit overblown?" "The TV stage, the advertisements, all the arrangements?" "You know, the captain said much the same thing." "Let's go for a walk." "Me?" "Sure." "Yamazaki, you too." "Captain!" "This is a pretty narrow path for a nighttime walk." "Don't worry." "I don't know what you're thinking about, but are you sure we're the right ones for this job?" "You scared?" "Captain!" "What's going on?" "Hurry up!" "The tail is already in the water!" "Hold on, I may have an operating license, but it only covers farming Labors." "Same as Katsuji, and he's already out there." "I wanted to get a haircut before the TV crews arrived." "What's taking you so long?" "You might think of paying me." "Good evening, we found you." "Miss Kumagami, it's a hoax." "It's all fake!" "Step away!" "We are impounding this as evidence!" "Stand back!" "Move away from the equipment!" "What's that?" "Look!" "Momoko, hurry!" "It's here!" "It is?" "Really?" "Hooray!" "What's that?" "Something's strange." "I saw it, and now everyone else will, too!" "Do you see that?" "It's Plessie!" "That's the tail of a plesiosaurus!" "How carefree she seems." "Look, she's raised a fin!" "She seems almost happy." "This is incredible!" "She almost seems to be waving!" "You won't make fools of us!" "Hey, maybe I can use this to get some lobsters!" "You coward!" "Come ashore and fight fair and square!" "Ota, it can't understand you." "Hard at work, I see." "Captain, why are they here?" "Tonight they were portraying the upper half of Plessie." "Then what is that?" "Why, that must be the lower half." "It's fake?" "Asuma, what a disappointment." "The eyes of the world are upon us." "The quicker we wrap this up, the quicker we can take our vacation." "Vacation?" "I called HQ from the police station, and they confirmed it." "Noa, let's go!" "You mercenary." "Plessie has been revealed as a submersible Labor!" "Special Vehicles is moving to attack the fake Plessie." "Good luck, Special Vehicles!" "Good luck, Plessie!" "Oh, which side should I root for?" "I'm detecting engine noise..." "It's definitely a Labor." "Officer Ota, you only have one net, so aim carefully." "Understood." "Leave it to me." "He got him!" "Pull, Noa!" "What was that?" "I saw it!" "I really did!" "Oops, I guess this isn't the time for that." "Now that's a big catch!" "Should I try this?" "Or this?" "So finally, Plessie's true form is revealed!" "Oh, no, it broke." "What are you doing, Ota?" "What?" "Why weren't you backing me up?" "You're blaming me?" "He's getting away!" "Not for long!" "Submit, criminal!" "Ota, don't!" "Oh, how pretty!" "Like fireworks." "Momoko..." "As expected, incident 18, in Division 2's litany of reckless destruction!" "I think it was a mistake to ask for the Labor unit." "The Gargoyles of the Capitol." "They scare me." "Me too." "Want some?" "No." "Here it comes!" "What's wrong, Noa?" "Everyone's gone." "It figures." "Naturally, once they found out about the hoax." "Excuse me, are you the Labor team?" "Thank heavens!" "Look, Hiroyuki, these people run the Ingrams." "He's a big fan of yours." "He especially likes the Labor carrier." "Ingram!" "Ingram!" "If you don't mind, could we have a picture with you?" "Sure."
