Original subtitles

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.

So you want us to visit your labs in Tsuchiura, capture Utsumi, and take the Griffon.

He thinks it's his personal toy. Who knows what he'll do?

You're authorised to use any means necessary.

Leave it to Schaft Security Systems.

Hounds of Schaft

Crazy driver!

It's Schaft Security Systems.

You know them?

SSS. I suppose you haven't heard of them in Japan, yet.

They have quite a reputation in Southeast Asia.

They're more-or-less a private army.

An army?

Yes. Owned and operated by Schafft.

The Division Manager is losing faith in me.

He never had any faith in you.

What a cruel thing to say!

Just a fact.

I'm sorry, Chief Utsumi, but you can't leave the building.

How distressing! They already barred me from Tokyo.

I'm very sorry, but I have my orders.

Back to the office, Kurosaki.

Yes, we could hardly fight them.

Hardly.

Not a chance.

Stop!

Don't move.

I guarantee, this hurt.

It's loaded and ready. What next, Chief?

They can't run the Griffon without me.

How did we get dragged into this mess?

I regret our choice of associates, but we must see this through to the end.

Bring the car around! Hurry, or SSS will have us!

What? You let Utsumi get away?

Head for Tokyo.

Detective Matsui!

So, he's finally come out.

Hello? This is SV2. Chiba Prefectural Police? Go on.

Who's making dinner tonight?

That would be Izumi!

Bad news.

That's mean, Lieutenant! I poured my heart into this meal!

Sorry, I wasn't talking about dinner.

I must tell you before we eat. I've just heard from Chiba.

I'm afraid the Black Labour we fought in Haruumi didn't crash.

What do you mean?

How do they know?

Those 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They found two right arms and some outdated hydraulics.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 Labour from under our noses!

Why go to all the trouble?

It bought them time. We weren't searching for the Black Labour.

Shall 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 must fight him.

I need to start building up my strength.

Three trailers are fleeing the Tsuchiura research centre.

They appear to be heading for Port Kashima.

I repeat...

Three trailers are fleeing the Tsuchiura...

Our pursuit cars would be too conspicuous.

Perhaps it's time for subtlety.

Bring 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 plans to load the Griffon, 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 Griffon back to Tokyo.

I'd love to chat, but I must go.

I'll arrive in Tokyo around midnight.

Then you'll see what the Griffon can REALLY do.

What the Griffon can really do?

Hey!

I thought I'd let that sink in.

Someone lit a fire under my tail.

This is...

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 Sgt. 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.

Sgt. Kumagami, I'll be brief.

Richard Wong is cornered.

If he has the Black Labour, do you think he'll use it?

He's cornered?

SSS 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 MS units.

MS's? Are the Abrahams a match for the Griffon?

We'll move two onto the Sangria before Utsumi can off-load the Griffon.

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 Labours, which has led to an overall increase in Labour crime.

Ow!

I'm saying that if Richard Wong gets a boat in Kashima then heads for Tokyo,

as Detective Matsui predicts...

SSS will try to intercept him at Castle Gate.

Your reasoning?

One: A surprise attack is possible there.

Two: SSS wants to avoid confronting the Japanese police.

You predict violence in the open waters, outside our jurisdiction.

Yes.

I must consider this.

Yes. I'm well aware that this is based purely on intuition.

I'll do 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 mobilise, it will be 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 Labour?

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.

Division 2 will now deploy to Babylon Project's Kawasaki Base

in order to intercept the Black Labour and arrest the criminals.

Prepare all vehicles!

Roger.

What a gloomy expression.

It's just a 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, but these are special circumstances.

Sometimes I have to face disappointments too, you know.

I request permission to come along.

Get some rest.

Lieutenant!

Don't look at me like that!

All right! All right!

About 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.

You think so? A stiff spine can strengthen the whole soul.

Maybe she's tougher than you give her credit.

What are you talking about?

I can't come with you.

I'll just make up for you, Kumagami, and Ota combined.

I'm sorry.

Dummy! Don't apologise for that!

You'll really 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 have 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 your judgement, Izumi.

Why should my machine be in the shop?

Izumi, if you have 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 have.

How's Bud doing?

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!

Sangria approaching. Station the MS Abrahams!

Be extra careful of the construction.

Don't worry.

What did he say?

He's guarding the freighter coming in.

And they brought along four Labours? Why?

Everyone was disturbed by 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.

Sir!

Listen! 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 men 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 Labours fighting?

I see.

I think you heard everything.

Was it an accident?

It sounds like terrorists!

It's probably SSS.

Kanuka, you're right. Utsumi will make his stand at Castle Gate.

There they are! They even brought out the MS's!

There's Utsumi. Prepare to board!

Sergeant! Look!

He wouldn't...!

Impossible!

Utsumi is exposing the Griffon as he sails into port?

He's crazy.

You MUST NOT let him through Castle Gate! Got that?

Understood, but at this point we really can't settle it quietly.

What?

First Utsumi, now SSS! What are they thinking?

This is...

Huh?

War.

Look!

The Black Labour! 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.

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

OH MY! My gun misfired, misfired, MISFIRED!

You fool! That's what you get for using a loaded gun like a samurai sword!

For one thing, the TV crew was standing right at my feet,

Second, I was blinded by that light burst, and THEN the blast knocked me down.

I'm in trouble!

What?! Are you okay?! Where were you hurt?

Don't worry about me! I'm tough! Justice must prevail!
