Patlabor: The Mobile Police (1989–1990): Season 1, Episode 10 - Eve's Trap - full transcript
Labor: A robot specifically designed
for construction work.
Labors allow dramatic advances in
construction, but also in crime.
To combat these new Labor crimes, the
police create a special unit: The Patrol Labor.
And thus, the birth of Patlabor.

Eve's Trap
Grandma?
Grandma?
You'll catch cold.
I was dreaming of a time long ago.
I'll be gone for about two hours.
I'm sorry to leave you alone.
Don't mind me.
Think about what you'd like for dinner.
See you.
Entering port at 1700 hours.
I can't believe it! Not on our day off!
How can you have a banquet
in the freezing cold?
Ota, you're the one who was
lonely on Christmas.
Aren't you glad we're all here celebrating?
I'm not one to get taken in
by some weird festival.
If you don't like it, then go home.
I'll stay for the grub.
Shinshi's with his wife, and
Kanuka's with her grandmother.
It's the only time of year
I actually miss my family.
Hey.
Don't forget that you're all still on standby,
even when you're off-duty.
Yes, sir!
Kanuka dropped off a present.
Oh, is she here?
Yeah, but she left. She dropped off
a half-finished report.
A real policeman doesn't chase
after women like that!
Asuma!
Why'd you tag along?
Well, what are you doing here, Asuma?
Like I said, Kanuka doesn't
know Tokyo too well...
so I promised to show
her grandmother around.
Oh, really?
Well...
What are you really up to? Confess!
She said she went looking for
the Christmas of 50 years ago.
The Christmas of 50 years ago?
What does that mean?
I don't know.
Grandma left that message
and then headed out.
So you finally made it.
Four Brocken machines and
the experimental one have arrived.
The experimental one
will be called the Phantom.
Repeat, the experimental Labor
will be called Phantom.
It looks like most of her
belongings are still here.
So, she probably wasn't going far.
Right. She'll probably be back soon.
Grandpa's picture is gone.
What does that mean,
when Grandpa's picture is gone?
I have a feeling she's not coming back.
No way!
You're just worrying for nothing.
You shouldn't say such things.
But why did she take Grandpa's picture
if she just went out for a minute?
Maybe she wanted to show it to someone.
I'm not convinced.
Anyway, let's go look for her.
How?
Hello, Special Vehicles, Second Section.
Oh, Shinohara!
Sorry to interrupt your fun.
But they upgraded our status
to alert standby.
Return immediately.
Captain, we, uh...
What?
We, uh...
Uh, never mind. We're on our way.
We've received an alert standby order?
Let's go.
But Kanuka, what about
your grandmother?
I pride myself on being
a professional policewoman.
This is Patrol car 504.
Come in headquarters. Headquarters?
I wonder what's wrong?
Division 2...
you've just received
an invitation to our party.
Brokken
Seadog
I'm Matsui, from the Joto Department.
We received your message.
What's the situation?
All communications with Tokyo Teleport
Station have been cut off.
The phones and networks are down.
Even the radio's out.
Furthermore, no cars are coming
out of Tokyo Teleport as well.
As for the connector bridge,
we sent people across...
but none seem to come back.
The same goes for vehicles.
Does that include patrol cars?
Yes.
Doesn't HQ have a special
anti-hijacking unit?
The Japanese GSG-9?
I haven't heard from them.
Well, they don't tend to
keep a high profile, after all.
But I'd say they haven't been able to help,
considering that you're here to see us.
What could possibly be
going on at Tokyo Teleport?
That's what I want you to find out.
I'm afraid it doesn't interest me.
What are you talking about? It's our duty.
And it may be a problem if we
can't get Division 2 involved.
Clearly, ECM is being used to
jam our communications.
In other words, this may be strategic.
The self-defense force sounds nervous.
I wouldn't be surprised
if they mobilized very soon.
The self-defense force?
Once the heavy vehicles
are armed, move out!
Standby at the Ariake Interchange.
Get ready!
Captain Fuwa, phone call!
Ground Self Defense Force
Captain Fuwa, phone call!
Captain Fuwa, phone call!
Hello?
Shinobul! It's been a while. What's up?
Nothing, really.
I was wondering if you had to
work on Christmas Eve.
We're on duty here, too.
We both have rotten hours.
Sure, I'd love to see you at
New Year's. Take care.
She's on the move.
You never make personal calls
when you're on duty, Shinobu.
You were checking up on me,
but I won't let you spoil this chance.
That's bad.
You have to let Kanuka off tonight,
considering her state.
We don't have anyone
who can take her place, though.
Captain, can't we go look for
Kanuka's grandmother?
What a dilemma.
I have a favor to ask.
You want Shige?
Yeah, just for a while.
Goto, I don't think that's
a reasonable request.
I know, but I'm asking anyway.
Make sure you check it thoroughly!
And ammo! I need lots of extra ammo!
I heard this might be an alien invasion,
so don't hold back!
I had no idea you had
such an imagination, Ota.
I'm serious!
They're acting strange.
Are you asking me because of that?
Yes. That's exactly why.
All right. I expect an explanation
when this is over.
Thanks.
Sakaki...
Does "the Christmas of 50 years ago"
mean anything to you?
Now you're feeding me riddles?
Who knows?
Well, thanks anyway.
Wait.
50 years ago?
That would be around 1950.
Isn't that when the Korean War started?
The Korean War?
Beginning that December,
Japan got a major boost in its economy...
as the United States put
itself in an all-out war footing.
I think it was around Christmas time.

You're late, Shinshi.
Oh, Shige!
Don't worry, I'm taking Shinshi's place today.
What's wrong with Shinshi? That coward!
No, the Captain assigned him
to something else.
Well, shall we be going?
Are you Officer Mikiyasu Shinshi?
Yes. Detective Matsui?
Yes. Nice to meet you.
Oh, this was the result of a personal matter.
So, what are we doing?
Trying to find a missing person.
Ariake
Exit
I'll be seeing you well before
New Year's, Shinobu.
Gomioka!
Who are you?
Captain, they should have
sent up the flare by now.
I know.
They're jamming the radio, so use
loudspeakers for communication.
Command cars, too.
Unit 2. Mobilize and take advance positions.
Shige, wait here.
Unit 1 will cross the bridge. Out.
Hey, now! If you understand, then reply!
Roger.
Roger.
Roger.
Roger.
Something's wrong.
The players are now on stage.
Places, everyone.
But it's Christmas vacation!
Can't you help us somehow?
Even if you asked around,
it's probably too late.
How can you say that if you
don't know what we're here for?
Huh? But...
Someone's life could be at stake!
But...
Matsui, are you carrying your revolver?
This man doesn't understand
that someone's life is in danger!
Are you threatening me?
All right! All right, then!
How horrible!
It's Unit 1 from Division 1.
Where's Gomioka?!
He's gone!
That's Ota! Hurry, Noa!
Kanuka, why didn't you warn me
that he was behind me?!
Shit! Ota, get away!
How dare you! You won't make
a fool out of me!
Why, you!
A Brocken?
What's a West German
military Labor doing here?!
You're under arrest!
Noa, get back! You can't
take him head-on!
We're surrounded!
Ota, there's another one behind you!
What?
What's going on?
What is this?
I can't believe it! They're using an
ionizing beam weapon!
You guys are lucky.
Rei Clancy, maiden name Rel Kamimura.
It sounds like a stage name.
That doesn't matter.
Before moving to Hawaii,
she lived in Tachikawa.
Tachikawa?
There's a US military base in Tachikawa.
There's a connection there.
We're closed for the day

It was Christmas Eve then, too.

but in 10 years, who knows?
Retreat! Let's get back and tell the
Captain about that unidentified Labor!
But, what about Kanuka?!
And Ota's been caught, too!
What should we do, Asuma?!
Division 2 is in a life and death struggle.
