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

Vocational Options

Prepare for drop.

Within seconds, the Helldivers arrive at their target

and fire their machine guns on bunker 3.

Ready.

Fire.

Wow! It's impressive, up close.

They only give this demo once a year.

I can see why it's so popular.

Lieutenant! Isn't there some way we can take one of those guns?!

I suspect they're keeping a close eye on them.

Are you Special Vehicles, Second Section?

Yes.

I'm Sgt. Komiya of the air-drop team.

Lieutenant Fuwa asked me to show you around.

This is so cool!

...and as you can see...

I want one!

...it's been set from the middle.

Oh, I see!

Thank you for the invitations. Lieutenant Nagumo sends her best.

Did you like what you saw?

An excellent demonstration. We couldn't do half so well.

I'd like to ask you something that's been bothering me.

Purely on specs, some of the new Labours beat our Helldivers.

Will these new models give us trouble?

We're concerned, too,

but our hectic schedule doesn't leave much spare time for worry.

Of course.

Well, enjoy yourselves.

Lieutenant Fuwa, the downloads have all finished.

Hey, Asuma, who's better? A Helldiver, or Alphonse?

Helldivers use an Ingram chassis, but the missions are so different...

Yes, they can't compare.

Can you start one up?

Of course.

Do it.

Officer Izumi, nice to see you again.

Nice to see you again.

Interested in this one?

Huh? Well... He's interesting looking.

Care to try it out?

I'd like to hear how it compares to an Ingram.

The handling's quite tricky, so you may tire quickly.

I'll give it a try!

Try not to damage it!

I know!

Okay.

Eh?

Well?

The handling was much easier than I expected.

How did it feel?

Not as smooth as Alphonse, but he was quite good.

He had a very light touch.

So you give it a passing grade?

Want to ride one more permanently?

We're looking for top pilots.

But I'm happily employed as a police officer.

True. For now.

Enough for today. Dismissed. Don't be late tomorrow.

Yes, Sir!

See you.

Officer Izumi!

Lieutenant Fuwa asked me to give this to you.

What is it?

Reference material. If you'll excuse me.

Huh? Reference?

Hurry up!

Wait for me!

I wonder what it is?

Open it and find out.

But what if it gushes out smoke that turns us into old people?

Shinohara AV-99 Operations Manual Shinohara Heavy Industry

It's the manual!

Why would she give you that?

She said she was looking for good pilots.

Was she serious about that job offer?

What?

That's quite flattering. And the Helldiver is cute.

I should think it over.

Are you serious?

Are you really serious?

What's the matter with you?

Besides, I was obviously just joking.

It was incredibly dull here. Nothing happened.

Well, you know the saying: Watch your step; anything could happen.

Oh, my! You're unexpectedly pessimistic today.

I'm just the suspicious type.

So how did it go yesterday?

Oh, great. Thanks so much.

What's wrong?

Oh nothing. The SDF is a breed apart.

Well, of course.

Special Vehicles, Second Section.

Oh, hello.

I want you to know I was serious.

Uh, well...

You'd have the latest equipment, and plenty of training.

Don't you want to improve? To make a difference?

We can give you that opportunity.

Of course I want to improve, but this is different...

Different?

I'm really flattered, but...

Target practice is beginning.

I'll be right there.

Let's get together soon.

Okay, bye.

Sgt. Komiya, why did you apply for the air-drop team?

Ever since childhood, I have dreamed of being a Labour pilot.

Good enough for me.

There is a 402 on the Kawasaki side, at the breakwater.

Division 2, prepare to mobilise. I repeat...

There is a 402 on the Kawasaki side, at the breakwater.

Division 2, prepare to mobilise. I repeat...

Noa!

What?

Did Fuwa just call you?

What'd she say?

Well, uh...

Get moving, you two! We have to mobilise!

Yes, ma'am!

Later.

We'll use the crane to lower you so you can move the steel frame.

Be careful, the pilot's inside.

Roger!

Try to prevent any vibrations or shocks.

We don't want another collapse.

Roger.

More carefully, Officer Ota.

Yes, ma'am.

Check on the pilot.

Noa, what are you doing?

Huh? R-Roger.

I...

Noa, what are you doing?

This is no time for daydreaming! Help Ota!

I expect better from you.

I'm very sorry. I was distracted.

Our work doesn't give time-outs or second chances.

When we mobilise, it's the real thing.

Try to keep focused from now on. That's all.

Yes, sir. Thank you very much.

Will the pilot be okay?

He's conscious, so I think he'll be okay.

What point is there to my job, if I can't save people?

That's why we have practice. Learn something from this.

Well, let's go. Everyone's waiting.

Okay, get with it!

Izumi looks rather down. Is she okay?

She'll snap out of it soon. She's fairly simple.

Unit 2, you're out of bullets.

Fast practices are so unsatisfying!

Paint bullets are expensive.

We aren't the Self Defence Force!

That's all, Izumi.

Catching criminals requires marksmanship!

We need to have more practice!

But we do more than that! We handle accidents and disasters.

We can't spend all our time on target practice.

Exactly. Balance is essential.

We must conquer weaknesses while polishing strengths. Understand?

Yes!

Good.

Are you still at it?

He's covered in gunpowder.

I see. See you later.

Asuma...

Why do you do this?

How about you?

You first.

I'll tell you after you tell me.

I'm too embarrassed.

Yes.

Take care. Bye.

Just a little more polishing.

Hello.

Are you thirsty?

Were you watching?

Let's go talk.

Thanks for the loan.

Hold on to it. After all, I have the original.

It's just that...

Did you think I was joking?

No, but I like my current line of work.

Don't worry. Most of what we do is the same as Special Vehicles.

It's not because you hate Labours, is it?

No. I like them.

Then why don't you want to improve your skills?

I do. But that isn't the real question.

Then what is it?

Help!

I've been robbed! He's in that car! Police!

Call it in for me!

Izumi!

I can use the back roads to cut ahead of him.

Excuse me!

You idiot!

Get out of your car! You're under arrest for robbery!

Running only makes it worse!

You won't get away!

Officer Izumi, get in!

Yes, ma'am!

Now we have him.

Pull over and halt!

Stop your car!

Didn't you hear me? Stop your car!

Halt!

Just try and get me!

Try it!

Never underestimate a policewoman!

I'm glad no one was hurt.

But somebody was.

Your left cheek.

Oh, this? It's nothing.

I'll take my manual back now.

I'm giving up.

Good morning!

Morning. You're early.

Good morning.

Morning.

I gave back the manual.

Oh.

What? What was that?!

Did something happen yesterday? Did you see Fuwa?

It's too embarrassing.

You must tell me! Please? Pretty please?

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?

Out of nowhere, Division 1 is assigned a new Labour: AV Zero.

But Special Vehicles as a rule tries to avoid unnecessary conflict.

What ever happened to wisdom and bravery?

Seems like the Ingram is being ridiculed. What will you do, Noa?

Alphonse will not lose to Zero!
