Patlabor: The TV Series (機動警察パトレイバー)

Labor: A robot specifically designed for construction work.

Labors allow dramatic advances in construction...

but also in crime.

To combat these new Labor crimes...

the police created a special unit: The Patrol Labor.

And thus, the birth of Patlabor.

yume wo sutenaide You must not let go of your dreams

me wo sorasanaide And never turn your gaze away

futari no ai mo kumoru yo Yet even still love may cloud up and fade away

utsumuita kata wo And even though you comforted your love

dakishimeta keredo When he was feeling down

samishisa mune ni tsumotta Sadness was still weighing down his heavy heart

yume wa kimi no buki no hazu da yo Hang on tight to your dreams - they're weapons in your arsenal

nee da kara kanashimi mo kinukete itte You'll find that you can get through anything at all

so never cry itsu mo kimi wo mitsumete 'ru yo So never cry - you know I will always be watching over you

fair na ikikata no kimi ga suki What I love about you is your strong sense of fairness

so never cry itsu mo kimi no soba ni iru yo So never cry - you know I will always be right there by your side

da kara mata asu e kakedashite And so now you can face your future fearlessly

Ingram Activated!

What is this world coming to?

Here he comes!

Bulldog pilot: Halt your Labor and exit the cockpit!

Come on, Shinohara! We've got him on a DWI.

I'll yank him out of that cockpit and finish this.

Wait.

Shut up! What's the matter with drinking?

You can't drink and drive.

We don't have time for polite chitchat!

You don't know what I have to put up with!

Come down and we'll talk about it.

You don't know anything!

That does it!

Wait, Ota!

I'll let my Labor do the talking!

Surrender!

Let me go!

You coward!

Let go!

Idiot.

Fight like a man! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

I know I'm ashamed.

Ota, look out behind you!

How's Ota?

He'll live.

I'm amazed that this thing is still in one piece.

How's it look, Shige?

Pretty hopeless. We can't even salvage it for parts.

Mr. Sakaki, this is our chance to upgrade!

A new Labor won't help unless we upgrade drivers, too.

What? A new Labor won't help unless we upgrade drivers, too.

What?

You have too much energy.

It's one of my best points, Sir!

Then you and your teammates can go jogging.

They're looking pretty good.

Where were you, Captain Goto?

Headquarters.

About the new Labor model?

I finished the paperwork.

You got it, even after today's disaster?

It was perfect timing.

It proved that we can't keep using Division 1 's leftovers.

But...

The competition in the Labor market leads to rapid progress.

They've modified your model 97.

It looks like an instant classic.

Is your problem a shortage of Labors, or of talented officers?

Good point. But they're holding aptitude tests in Hachioji today.

Who knows? Maybe Division 2 will turn into an elite unit.

Or maybe we'll become a gang of thugs. I can't wait to find out.

Spot any promising candidates?

This is my stop!

I'm late!

This is the spot, isn't it?

The famous first-generation Patlabor!

Oh, no! I'm late!

Who's that?

You got a little carried away this morning.

Yeah, and he didn't even land a punch.

Can you fix it?

Of course! But why bother? We don't need this Labor.

Didn't the Captain tell you?

Then...?

Want to see it?

Finally! The new model I've been longing for!

You're with Special Vehicles, aren't you?

Uh, yeah...

I've wanted to be like you ever since I was a child!

You mean, pilot Labors?

I'm here for the Labor aptitude test, but I seem to be lost.

A Labor officer? YOU?

The aptitude test is in the East Building.

Where's that?

Back the way you came from.

You mean I came the wrong way?

Roger!

Excuse me!

Strange kid.

Here it is! Shinohara Heavy Industries' finest product...

our new Police Labor! Model 98-AV, aka: the Ingram!

Can we see it?

Let me take the cover off.

What's going on?

Who authorized this?

Mr. Jitsuyama, look out!

Close the main gate! Don't let the carrier through!

- Where's the command car? - Over there!

Ota, let's go!

Contact Captain Goto!

Asuma!

What?

The keys are back in my room!

What?

Excuse me, but I can't seem to find the East Building.

There's no time for that!

Hey, where's my Patlabor?

YOUR Patlabor?

How can this be?

How should I know?

If it bothers you, bring it back yourself!

I will!

Halt!

You won't get away!

The carrier has shut off its radio! It's getting away!

How lucky!

I'm commandeering this!

Uh... sure.

Halt!
