Original subtitles

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

The Working Girl

Stay back!

If you care about her...

Momo!

Excuse me.

Attention criminal.

Be careful not to kill your hostage.

Shut up! I'll take her with me to hell!

But it's such a beautiful day.

Life isn't so bad, you know.

Let's talk this over.

Enough talk!

Momoko!

Dear viewers: I think I shan't last much longer.

I'm glad you've let me into your homes.

I was... truly happy.

The tape is rolling. In ten seconds...

Five...

Welcome back, viewers.

This episode of "The Working Girl"

comes from Landfill 13, home of the police Special Vehicles team,

better known as Patlabor!

Division 2 has disastrous nicknames:

Unwanted Baggage, and Specialists in Destructive Justice.

They solve each case with maximum violence.

These modern warriors are icons of both order and terror!

And working with these brutal men is our subject:

Patlabor pilot Noa Izumi.

Momoko Sakurayama shall guide you through this bizarre world!

The team members seem to be gathered in here.

Let's peek in, shall we?

Now for the morning roll call.

Sgt. Takeo Kumagami.

Here!

Officer Isao Ota.

Here!

Officer Asuma Shinohara.

Here!

Officer Mikiyasu Shinshi.

Here!

Officer Hiromi Yamazaki.

Here!

Officer Noa Izumi.

H-here!

All present. Now, recite this week's resolution.

Always take care.

If we should meet a rampaging Labour in the dead of night...

May I say a word?

Hey, aren't you Momoko Sakurayama the TV star?

Yes! I'm Momoko Sakurayama, the action reporter!

This is my director, Oguri, and Inari on camera.

For the next three days, we'd like to document your life, Noa Izumi!

I-it would be my pleasure.

Cut!

Cameraman, OK?

Momo, OK?

Chief Fukushima, OK?

Good, everything's OK!

This piece will air next Wednesday.

Our Momo was very impressed by the whole Plessie incident.

She thought this would make a good episode.

It'll give the people of Tokyo a chance to see the police at work.

I'd be more than happy to explain the administrative structure.

Well, uh...

I'd be MORE THAN HAPPY to discuss it.

Yes, of course! Sometime.

It makes you look fat.

Really?

They say the camera adds ten pounds.

You should try fasting.

I think you should look natural, Miss Izumi.

I agree.

Policemen don't need to be pretty, they need to be brave!

If good looks stopped criminals, we'd report to Miss Universe!

I heard.

Nice job, a documentary on your team.

It was the Chief's orders.

It's hard to court the media.

The Americans pick presidents just because they're good on TV.

Am I cut out for politics?

Interested in running for the House of Councillors?

Let us begin the courting!

I lost.

Next!

I'm ready.

Here in Special Vehicles,

Observe both men and women!

A storm blows today through this jungle of mats!

Next! Officer Izumi.

Yes, ma'am!

I'm ready.

Cut!

Hold that pose!

Inari, can you get a shot from over here?

Great! Momo, make up. More sweat.

Okay.

Excuse me a second.

Ready.

Okay, let's go. Tape's rolling. Action!

Officer Izumi.

I'm fine.

Ow...

Oh, you cut your cheek! Are you all right, Miss Izumi?

Oh, it's nothing.

It's so realistic!

The beautiful Kumagami throws plucky young Noa!

Great stuff!

Miss Izumi...

I'm sorry about that. Oguri has a big mouth, sometimes.

That's okay. It doesn't bother me.

Some girls have an inner beauty that shines through in their work.

Maybe you picked the wrong subject.

Momo, we're almost ready for the live relay.

Okay!

Let's go. We can talk later.

Sorry.

You're late, Izumi.

I'm sorry.

This will be a live broadcast. Noa, you stand in the middle.

Okay!

Chief Fukushima, don't force yourself to smile. Act naturally.

Okay, we're ready.

In three, two...

Hello, everyone.

The next episode of "The Working Girl" will follow Miss Noa Izumi.

I thought she was a boy!

What's so funny, you idiots?

Izumi was the first female police Labour pilot.

She's solved dozens of incredible cases!

Tune in to see her excruciating life!

Good work, everyone!

Oops!

Did I say excruciating? I meant to say "exciting".

Sorry!

Well, that's live TV for you!

Noa, we'll use makeup to cover that.

Right? Right?

Okay, Noa? Okay.

Right?

It's over.

This way.

Thanks for the help.

Isn't this going too far?

Hey, I'm trying for realism here.

Is it okay to film her while she sleeps?

The public has a right to know!

Couldn't this be dangerous?

Ready to roll!

Start!

NO PEEKING! LADIES USE ONLY!

NO PEEKING! LADIES USE ONLY! And now, for our traditional "peeking on sleeping" segment.

NO PEEKING! LADIES USE ONLY! It's 4AM, and Izumi is just inside, sound asleep.

Last week's model whispered her lover's name in her sleep.

Let's wake her up!

Miss Izumi! Miss Izumi, time to get up!

Alphonse...

He's a foreigner!

That's the name of Unit 1.

It's morning! Time to get up, Miss Izumi.

I need to make you pretty, Alphonse.

My makeup!

Don't move.

Miss Izumi!

Cut!

Huh?

That was great, Noa! Fantastic!

Oh no!

I can't believe they all came in here!

I look so juvenile!

Fine!

What's that smell?

So, Izumi, you finally decided to look like a girl!

You think I don't, usually?

"The clothes maketh the man."

Ota!

You want to take me on?

Yes! You want to take me on?

Whoa, whoa! Hold it, hold it!

They did that to Izumi?

Just so long as it doesn't interfere with work.

Sure.

Oh no! I should have put my money on 2-5.

505 in progress at the Kawasaki Industrial Complex.

Division 2, prepare to move out.

Victory Racehorses

Division 2, Heading out to suppress the 505 in Kawasaki.

Oh and...

Listen to the next race. I'll buy you dinner if I win.

Maybe I should just broadcast it to you.

You can be so stubborn.

See you later!

Bring the carrier out! Prepare to load Unit 1!

Wait!

Your cockpit feels hot.

I don't want to point the finger, but it smells like makeup.

Don't let them pressure you into doing something stupid.

Thanks. I'll be okay.

Don't dawdle.

Hurry up! This is our scoop! Realism awaits us in Kawasaki!

Well?

It looks like he's taking a break.

What kind of fool is he? Who steals a Labour to commit suicide?

Go away! I have a terminal disease!

Just leave me to die!

Lieutenant, how long shall we wait?

Kumagami is still running a background check.

Get over it. If you want to die, jump off Mt. Fuji!

That would be perfect for a terminal disease!

Come on, now!

Halt!

I'm standing exactly halfway between the criminal and Special Vehicles.

What's the motive here?

And how our Noa Izumi handle it?

And the big question is:

"What shall the total cost of damages be for bringing in this criminal?"

For the exact price tag of Division 2's rampage, stay tuned!

Phones will close in five minutes.

Calls will be answered in the order received.

The first 20 callers receive a special phone card.

Momoko!

Oh my goodness!

Your action reporter, Momoko Sakurayama,

has just been captured by this modern day King Kong!

This iron hand of evil!

Farewell, viewers. I may not be long for this world!

Stay back!

If you care about her...

Momo!

Excuse me.

Attention, criminal.

Be careful not to kill your hostage.

Shut up! I'll take her with me to hell!

But it's such a beautiful day.

Life isn't that bad, you know.

Let's talk this over.

Enough talk!

Momoko!

Dear viewers: I don't think I shall last much longer.

I'm glad you've let me into your homes.

I was... truly happy.

Are you trying to make a fool of me?

Does this hurt?

Do you understand how I feel?

No, not really!

You've a lot of nerve! NOW you'll understand!

Ow, ow!

Hey, this really hurts!

If you're going to kill me, get it over with!

You are such a selfish brat!

WHAT?! When did I act like a brat?!

Looks like he'll be busy for a while. WHAT?! When did I act like a brat?!

Looks like he'll be busy for a while. I am NOT a brat!

Tell me exactly what time, what minute, what second I started acting like a brat!

Tell me exactly what time, what minute, what second I started acting like a brat! - Lieutenant...

We've identified the criminal:

Rudolf Shinbori, 21 years old, known as "Fritter".

What's he dying from?

Well...

Just a stomach ulcer?

He let his imagination run wild.

My.

Shut up!

You shut up!

Mr. Sakaki was right.

Hello, Mr. Shinbori? Mr. Rudolf Shinbori?

You snooped on me, didn't you?

Yes, we had the full rundown.

For example, we know about your stomach pains.

It turns out it's just an ulcer.

What a cruel twist of fate!

Our criminal has a common complaint,

a stomach ulcer!

Impossible! If it was just an ulcer, why didn't the doctors tell me?

You don't have health insurance, do you? They hate that.

That's true...

Too soon, life returns to dust.

But can our culprit learn to live with this crushing shame?

What?

Oh, I mean...

One moment please.

Yes? Yes?

About that English phrase I used earlier...

A "Professor in ltabashi" just called in, to correct me.

Thank you, "Professor in ltabashi".

Shut up!

What should I do now?

Oh, this is being sent to every station in the country.

You'll be famous. How embarrassing!

You monster!

Now you're really going to die! I mean it!

Come on... Do you want to send us back to square one?

I curse you all!

You idiot!

Momo!

I won't let you!

Stay back, Izumi!

Come back, Noa!

This time, it's goodbye for sure!

Momo, you were more beautiful than the wild chrysanthemum!

Keep rolling!

Goodbye, everyone!

I got him!

Stay out of this!

Goodbye, everyone!

Ah!

Momoko, OK?

I'm OK.

It'll be on in one minute!

Yes now! Your daddy will be on TV!

Be sure to record it. Call your mother to the TV.

Another glass!

Thanks for noting the positions.

No problem.

Are you talking about horse racing again?

Oh, yes, I knew I'd heard the criminal's name before!

That happens all the time.

Only ten seconds! Do something!

Please don't hit me.

Five seconds!

Four...

Three...

Two...

One...

Zero!

The Working Girl, normally seen at this time, has been preempted this week by the baseball playoffs.

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?

With the rapid development of Hyper Technology came the Labour...

However, this gave rise to a new threat to society: Labour Crime.

In response, The New York City Police founded the Crime Labour Attack Team.

This was the beginning of CLAT.
