Labour: A robot specifically designed for construction work.

Labours facilitate dramatic advances in construction, but also in crime.

To combat these new Labour crimes, the police create a special unit: The Patrol Labour.

And thus, the birth of Patlabor.

When the area of your dreams

Is invaded by tears

When your heart falters

Just call my name

Hurry up, hurry up, Wings of Love

Fly to your sky

I'm gonna fly fly away

Condition green

I want to help your deep sorrow

The radar of my heart

Can sense the same pain as yours anytime

Just I'm gonna fly away

Save the Terrorists

Point 3 all clear.

Babylon Project Developers Convention

Babylon Project Developers Convention Point 4 all clear.

Babylon Project Developers Convention

Points 5 and 6 all clear.

I'm so sleepy.

How beautiful!

Will the terrorists try anything?

Hitting the Babylon conference would really make headlines.

With three days of guarding this hotel, they could have at least given us a room!

We have a vital duty to guard and protect!

Don't fall prey to a lack of sleep!

It's the cream of the crop, quite extravagant!

It has immense fluffy beds!

You looked inside?

Yes, there's a vacant room.

Pay attention to your duty!

Once we're done today, even the carrier's tight bed will feel good.

CLEANING

Can I come in for just a minute?

No!

You can hold it. You're not a child!

What's this?

What are you two doing here?!

Wake up!

Help!

Hold it.

That never seems to work.

Reporting two suspicious men, possibly with a bomb.

They're fleeing toward the convention centre.

Halt!

Big brother, they asked us to halt.

Just shut up and run!

The bag!

That was close!

Why are YOU tired? I dragged you the whole way!

Ouch.

This only goes to the observation platform.

We must think of an escape route.

What's wrong, Yagi?

You idiot! What did you do to the switch?

This is because you threw it!

What? Do something, Yagi!

I can't! Once the count starts, it detonates in 60 seconds!

When did it start?

I don't know.

Hurry... hurry... hurry!

What's that sound?

Fifteen seconds left.

Fifteen?

Is there a problem, sirs?

Get down!

What?

Well, there it goes.

That was a close one!

We can't get down now.

It does provide a rather distinctive view.

This take you to the east side of the roof.

Wait for orders there.

Understood. Am I all the way in?

You're fine.

They gave us a defective bomb!

Of course it went off. You were too rough with it.

Oh, you're blaming it on me?

Never mind. What now? There's no way out.

Without the elevator, we can't get down.

Why are you doing that? You won't get any customers.

True, but this is my job. Bar-tending is my life.

Labours!

Hmm, It looks like those two are acting alone.

We've blockaded the road in front of the hotel.

No injuries yet, but significant structural damage.

The platform could fall.

The whole thing could fall? That would be bad.

Attention suspects. Can you hear me?

The explosion has damaged the structural supports.

A rescue team is on the way, so remain calm and follow orders.

The elevator has been blown up, so you're trapped.

It's time to abandon your plans and cooperate. Thank you.

Hooray, they're coming to save us!

You idiot! They'll save us... save us for a long prison sentence.

No, we'll barricade ourselves here and halt the Babylon conference!

Sir, we're taking you hostage!

As you wish.

Aren't you afraid of us?

A bartender must never leave his counter.

He's very good.

Lieutenant, the lounge looks fairly shaky. It can't last much longer.

Lieutenant, ten different criminal groups are taking credit.

They must be kidding.

Some people have nothing better to do.

Ota, to the right. Noa, cover him.

Roger.

It's the Patlabors! Cool!

I'm down to my final resort!

You were carrying that?

The mistake was our dependence on an electronic timer.

Only sweat and sacrifice will save our precious environment!

Careful, Big Brother! That could injure your eyes!

Listen to me, Criminals!

The rescue team is almost there. Follow orders and climb down.

One step closer and I'll blow you sky high!

To prove that I'm not bluffing, I'll light one!

Be careful!

We don't need your rescue!

What are they doing?

I told you so.

Noa, grab it!

How?

Wrap your winch line around the girder!

Roger.

It's tipping!

It's just your imagination.

See? It stopped.

Stop being stupid and come down. You're in great danger.

Liar! We have a hostage! YOU stop being stupid!

So, an endurance contest.

We can wait forever, but I don't think the supports shall.

Understood.

Trouble. There's a fuel pipeline buried in the road.

That's bad.

Noa, did you copy?

Yes...

The Labours are close to their limit, but hold on as long as you can.

Izumi, can you hold it?

I don't know.

But...

But if this falls, it'll be a massive disaster.

This is the Home of the Sea, the Tokyo branch: "Caged Birds!"

Our code names are "Nightingale" and "Ebony Dodo".

The Babylon Project must be halted! Save the planet!

You selfish city dwellers should think of future generations!

Stop wasting toilet paper, and, and...

What should I say now?

I don't know.

His speech is only half-finished.

They're wily and unpredictable foes.

Lieutenant, the Ingrams can't hold for long. They need help quickly!

Lieutenant, we're on the road in front of the hotel.

The fuel pipeline looks quite vulnerable.

And the airport says that even if they stop the fuel,

they can't drain the pipeline.

I suppose I have no choice.

Where are you going?

I'll be back soon.

I only came because you said we'd dump the bomb in a trashcan!

That's what I planned!

But we hid, fell asleep, and then set off the bomb.

We're serious felons now.

A little late for complaints.

Messing up the Babylon conference would have been good enough.

Of course!

While we're here, they can't hold the conference!

We won't give up!

But...

Yes, they're in big trouble. First, we'll demand food.

Oh, would you like something to eat?

What?

I can provide anything from our morning menu.

I'll have a club sandwich!

Me too!

Very good. Would you like onions and tomato with that?

How long must we do this?

Ota, do you read?

Yes, sir.

Can you talk to the terrorists?

Me, sir?

I'm a bit busy right now. Thanks.

Yes, sir!

Attention, lawbreakers! Surrender!

It's dangerous in there, so you should come out immediately!

Liar!

What?

We'll come out if you guarantee our safety and halt the Babylon conference.

You have the nerve to make demands? You idiots!

Watch your mouth! We have a hostage.

What?

That's correct. A bartender named Maki was setting up.

Take care of that, too, won't you?

Ah!

Do as we say, or our hostage shall pay the price!

Then I'll see that YOU pay the price, too!

Is a policeman supposed to talk to us like that?

Don't think you'll get away with this!

Oh yes? I'd like to see you try to save us!

The only message I have for you is this!

Ota, no!

What are you doing, Ota?

Officer Ota, have you forgotten about the hostage?

Ota, didn't you hear about the pipeline?

Ota, what's going on?

Ah! Why should I have to save these idiots?

I wish I'd never helped you!

Fine! Just go home then!

This is why you don't have any friends!

You looked lonely, Ogami, after being turned down by every group.

I just wanted to help.

We aren't part of Home of the Sea! It was all your idea!

And those stupid code names!

I wanted to be a hawk or an eagle, not the "Ebony Dodo".

It's too hard to be your friend!

Listen...

All right, all right. I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

Try this.

Thank you.

Here.

Too strong?

What was it?

A boilermaker. Whisky with a beer chaser. A pick-me-up.

One more.

Coming up, sir.

Don't tell Ota.

Why not?

I'm not sure how he'd react.

It's a little risky, but it's our best plan for minimising damage.

Can you do it?

I'll do my best.

Then I leave it in your hands.

Roger.

What are you doing?

Maybe we should try to talk them out.

You suggest we give in and beg those idiots to come out?

I thought you might be able to persuade them.

Really? You think it's okay?

At the scene, you use your judgement.

All right!

Hey criminal scum! Come out NOW!

You again? Are you still here?

Don't underestimate us!

We already told you!

We're professionals amongst professionals!

Are you mocking Division 2?

I've had all I can stand!

He's going to kill us! He's a lunatic!

Say your prayers, villains! This'll only take one shot!

You idiot!

Lucky idiots!

Detonate.

What's going on?

I'd like to call this a success.

At least we didn't break the fuel pipe.

Where are the hostage and criminals?

Izumi should have rescued them.

Should have? And where's Officer Ota?

He's in his Ingram. He should be okay.

Sh-should be?

Noa, are you all right? Noa!

I'm fine.

Mr. Maki, isn't it? Are you all right?

Yes, but how bold, destroying the bar to save everything else!

I'm sorry, our Lieutenant can be a bit heavy-handed.

No, it takes great subtlety to be bold.

Your Lieutenant would make a fine bartender!

A bartender? Our Lieutenant?

Where's Ota?

Still alive.

Thank goodness.

Izumi, did you know about the explosion?

Well...

Lieutenant, why didn't you tell me?

Lieutenant, answer me!

He deserves an answer, Lieutenant Goto.

I've been so patient...

I need to pee!

Take care of this for me!

Lieutenant, why haven't you answered? Don't you trust me?

Ota, Noa's the only one he told. We were surprised, too.

That's right, Ota. I was the only one.

I don't think he wanted to burden us with the knowledge.

Shut up! I'm talking to the Lieutenant!

Lieutenant, answer me!

The storm fleetingly stopped

The fists from last night are now washed clean

Once the break of dawn loosens the screw

It awakens machines and buildings

I got it

I can see far away it's like a panorama

No matter how you look at it, it's a happy island

One more chance

I want to tell you about it; I want to convey it to you

The gate to the dream is opening now before my eyes

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

And who should come back to us from our past...

Yes, they are wanted men, from the airport case:

Inubashiri has the skills, Nekowatari has the heart,

and Sankichi Sarusuberi has the brains.

Dog, cat, and monkey... What is this, a zoo?

When these three get together, who knows what they'll do!

If we knew the answer to that, this would be easy.
