The AV-98, aka the Ingram.

6.02 tons. 8.02 metres high.

SCB powered. SCLM drive system.

Armed with a 37 millimetre revolver cannon and stun baton.

Designed specifically for the police to make an impression on the community...

to deter criminals and safeguard the public.

This is the Patrol Labour.

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 on tight to 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 shll always be watching over you

What I love about you is your strong sense of fairness

So never cry - you know I shall always be right there by your side

And so now you can face your future fearlessly

Suspicious Duo

Have you been waiting long?

I think you've been stood up.

Your boyfriend's a no-show.

But you could go to a movie with me!

Get lost.

Let's watch videos, over at my place!

Beat it.

Harsh.

I have every anime show from the 80's!

Ah, sorry!

She's a policewoman? Ah, sorry!

Do you have a minute?

Have you been saved by God?

Been waiting long?

Are you still pouting?

Sorry I was 10 minutes late.

But arriving 10 minutes early was YOUR fault.

In that 20 minutes, two creeps and a street preacher came up to me!

It was terrible.

Creeps?

There're a lot of weirdos in this world.

Whatever you say...

I know! After the movie, I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

No.

What?

You'll buy me a chocolate parfait!

Okay.

You know...

Yeah? You know...

What are we doing here?

Having a snack...

I mean... it's our day off.

Why are we sitting here reading movie programs?

Because it isn't time for dinner yet?

Food and movies. Isn't there anything else to do?

So what do you want to do?

Something BIG, so we don't waste our vacation!

Something big...

Is this better than sitting in the coffee shop?

Look at that!

Patlabor?

Ah! I can't get past mission 3!

Yeah, me neither.

My turn!

You know what you're doing?

You're supposed to read the instructions first!

So this is how you move, this is the trigger...

This is nothing like the real thing! And these foot pedals!

Pay attention! The game's starting!

Shield! Button B!

Where? Which one!

You have been struck by a missile. Damage Points: 50 Continuing...

The scene changed.

The impact spun you. Turn around.

The criminal's gone!

Switch to the map. That'll show you where he is.

There he is!

Come on!

This is hard!

Silence! The Pilot must always obey the Command Car!

Listen!

You're no good at this!

There's no game balance at all!

Skill would help...

How dare you!

Watch a pro.

I was watching...

You're right. It IS hard!

This simply won't do.

I think it's time I stepped in here. What do you think?

Who are...

...you?

You may call me The Black Knight.

Another one!

One more and he'll finish the game!

And so it ends.

Gah! So close!

He's getting away!

Please! I have to see the ending!

Very well.

Watch this.

He's incredible!

The capital has been saved by your excellent piloting skills...

Thank you, thank you. Thank you for your support.

You've just witnessed perfect technique. Want to challenge me?

Uhh...

I'm as good as you can get without having a real Labour.

Asuma!

Do you have more coins?

Not again!

My reputation is at stake! No game will 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 Labours...

That's a little...

Too hard to believe?

Most Labours 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 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. Show me what you can do with that!

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!

Want to trade places?

This game'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 a little boy?

You know, some children have a gift.

That's pathetic!

You've never even played it, so you don't know!

Let me try! Bring it in here!

Right... bring it in the bath?

Then don't tell me what I can or can't do!

What's the matter with you?

I'm getting out!

Why you...!

Can't breathe...!

So you were in the arcade all this time.

The company was looking for you.

Half those machines are made by us...

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. Labour combat comes down to hand-to-hand.

Exactly. Why load a Labour down with fancy beams and weapons?

What we really want is the hand-to-hand data.

So the Phantom was a practice 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 feel good about this one.

Got you!

That isn't like her.

That's high praise for you. Izumi shall be happy to hear it!

She'll do her happy dance!

Don't be an idiot! Go check the data backups.

Right. 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?

Wrestling is okay, but target practice is the important work!

Ota...

I was watching. You're getting better.

Thanks to you, Sergeant!

Thank you for saying that, but there's room for improvement.

We'll do some extra practice, beginning today.

I saw your report, but we need more accuracy.

We've pushed speed and accuracy to the limit.

I'll need to check the parts and materials list, one last time.

This shall cost rather a lot.

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 Labour.

It'll put our division in the red.

Don't worry. The other divisions can cover us.

From space shuttles to toothpicks,

Schaft 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.

What? 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.

He wouldn't like you fiddling with his machines.

Shige.

I'm going home.

Take care of Division 1 when they get back. Unit 2 is still practising.

Yes, Sir! Good night!

And one more thing.

There are men as chefs and office workers, you know.

If she doesn't interfere with the work, you may teach her.

Yes, Sir!

Thank you, Mr. Sakaki!

Rinko Ward, Section 21, construction site:

A Labour is making terrorist demands.

It appears to be a Saturn type.

Division 2, mobilise.

I missed my chance to go home.

Well, hurry up!

Swap the batteries on Unit 2! Load Unit 1 onto the carrier!

I finished that foundation just yesterday!

I had to cancel a date to meet the 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 made.

They have to send Division 2 and the Ingrams.

Here it is. Okay Bud, watch closely.

How should we handle it?

Simple! He's violent, so the first thing is to make him lose his temper.

Let's go!

Submit!

There!

Good.

It's not good.

Noa, what are you doing? Help Unit 2!

Got it!

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, which takes courage.

She'll be a tough opponent.

Very true. This shall be a lot of fun.

Yes.

Asuma, the pilot's getting away!

Lieutenant, 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 specifications.

I don't care. I told you, this won't be offered commercially.

I'm glad to hear that.

I've done everything I could, since you gave the go-ahead.

Here it is:

Schaft Enterprise 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.

Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue

If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight

Midnight Blue

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 shall 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

Midnight Blue

I know I can do it, If only just once

Midnight Blue

If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight

Midnight Blue

I know I can do it, If only just once

This story is fiction... but in 10 years, who knows?

What? Are they fighting?

Apparently Division 2 said something wrong and enraged a local Chinese restaurant.

One thing led to another and now the restaurant manager is furious.

Uh-oh... That's the only place that delivers to out here!

Beyond my hungry haze, I can still see the Roast Pork, Wonton Soup, and fried dumplings...
