Patlabor: The Mobile Police (1989–1990): Season 1, Episode 2 - Kanuka Has Come - 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.

One, two, three, four!

Shinshi, you're slow!

Shinshi, you're slow!

Yes, Sir!

One, two, three, four!

Good, your movements
are getting smoother!

One, two, three, four!

Asuma, pass the soy sauce?



Sure.

Thank you.

You're in a good mood.

It's been a long, hard battle.

They've totally controlled us.

We haven't had a moment
of rest or relaxation.

Nothing but Labor training and lectures.

We've had a dismal two weeks...
it's enough to make me throw up!

And now, it's finally over!

We've done well.

There's still the announcement this afternoon.

That'll be a picnic,
compared to all this training.

Is there really going to be a
competition fight, beforehand?

Are you okay, Shinshi?

I have a weak stomach.

Well if you can't eat that, I'll take it!

Bring on your Labors! No one can beat me!

Don't believe me? I'll prove it!

No, no! Look over there!

Who's that?

She's getting onboard.

She's pretty good.

Is it safe to maneuver a Labor like that?

Theoretically, the Ingram can match
any human movement, but...

But?

Such a massive machine as the Ingram
produces incredible stress.

Now, for the main event of
today's announcement:

A Labor combat tournament!

This will decide the composition of
our teams, so do your best.

Any questions?

Yes! Yes!

All in good time.
Yes! Yes!

Captain!

Don't worry.

I'm Lieutenant Clancy Kanuka,
of the New York City Police.

I've come to Japan for advanced training.
Pleased to meet you.

New York?

All rise!

Why?

Pay your respects to a police lieutenant!

Ota, don't be so formal.

But...

You junior officers wouldn't understand!

There are ranks and classes
in the police department.

Uh-huh...

Respect your superiors,
or you'll never get promoted.

But what's her name, Kanuka,
is from the New York police.

That doesn't matter!

Yeah, the lower classes believe that junk.

What was that?!

Why, you!

So you have to win the
tournament to pilot the Ingram?

You could look at it that way.

What pressure!

The Ingram records and adapts to
its pilot's motion patterns.

We need to choose our habits and
ways of thinking wisely.

You make it sound like it will
only accept one person!

Exactly. Once it chooses a pilot,
it's hard to change.

So this tournament makes sense.

I see! But I wanna be the pilot!

Don't whine.

Okay! But I have an idea!

That ought to do it!

Shige, inspect the Ingrams.

Yes, Sir.

What the heck?

What's wrong?

This is Mine!

"This is mine"?

This is Mine!

Erase that.

"This is mine"?

Hey. That was quick.

How does it look?

We have an excellent teacher.

Good work.

I enjoyed myself.

But they're a strange group.

Will they do?

Well, they're certainly different
from Division 1.

They're either talented, or just a bunch
of losers... I'm not sure.

Make up your mind.
Are you praising them, or not?

I thought I was praising them.

I can judge their skill later.
After all, that's why I came.

Did you bring the uniform?

Yes.

Are you sure she won't be offended?

She's the one who asked for it.

Why is she wearing a
Second Section uniform?

How should I know?
Hey, look over there!

It's Gomioka from Division 1.
He even brought his Labor.

Could it be...?

It could...

What could?

Look...

I love you, Miki-chan! Good luck!

Who's Miki-chan?

My full name is Mikiyasu.

That's your wife?

Yes.

You're lucky.

You weaklings!

Now, to conclude your training on
the Model 98-AV Ingram...

we will stage a combat tournament.

And to provide a worthwhile challenge...

we have Lieutenant Gomioka of
Division 1 in his Model 97.

I knew it.

Also participating is Lt. Clancy Kanuka,
of the New York City Police.

I'm pleased to announce she'll be joining
Division 2 for 6 months of advanced training.

Looks like we have some tough competition.

Here are the match orders.

Rounds 1 and 2 will use the training Labors.

The final round will use the Ingram.

Match 1 is in ten minutes:
Shinohara vs. lzumi.

That was quick.

Asuma...

I---

ll won't lose!

Ingram Unit 2

Bulldog

Bow!

Begin!

Let's go!

Impudent child! Surrender!

I'm not a child! I'm a young lady!

They don't look very tense.

The energy of youth.
They're like well-oiled machines.

1 win!

That's enough, Officer Izumi!

What was that supposed to be?

Do you suspect some deception?

That was deliberate.

That Labor must be defective!
Its leg just gave out on me!

This is serious!

If there's a maintenance problem...

Oh, no! If anything, it was a factory flaw.

But it was built by your company!

My FATHER'S company!
I had nothing to do with it!

Huh?

Urk...
Huh?

Asuma Shinohara...

Shinohara Heavy Industries' Ingram.

Shinohara!

Asuma, you're a
second-generation Shinohara!

Why become a civil servant,
if you own a Labor factory?

My dad swindled me.

Good luck, Miki-chan!
Don't get hurt, Sweetie!

This will all be over in five seconds!

I hate this.

Bow!

Had enough?

Penalty!

Instructor Sakuma! Criminals don't bow!

In a real fight, the first move
guarantees victory!

You cheated! You coward!

Winning is all that matters!

So you think this is funny?

Does Shinshi look kind of strange?

What's...

...SO FUNNY?!

Stop! Both sides must bow, first!

What's so funny?

Stop it!

Funny now? Funny now?

Are you trying to kill me?

Officer Shinshi, you're disqualified!

Shinshi is surprisingly dangerous.

I'll have to file that for future reference.

He's such a nice guy, but...

Officer Yamazaki forfeits.

Round 2: Officer Noa lzumi
vs. Officer Isao Ota.

Bow!

I won't fall for that trick!

My gun!

That's enough, Officer Izumi.

The neck joint seems a bit fragile.

Perhaps it's just vulnerable
to a blow from above.

I don't think it's the machine
that's your problem here.

Your tactics are vulgar.

Well, let's see what kind of fight she prefers.

So what's Gomioka like?

Fourth rank in judo, third in kendo,
second rank in aikido.

Composed and calm...
the perfect portrait of an officer.

If she's as good, it should be
an interesting match.

So it must be pretty important
to have hand-to-hand skills.

I think you're better off without them.

A Labor is power! Power decides everything!

What if your opponent
can match your power?

I'm filled with a fighting spirit!

Big deal.

Lieutenant Kanuka wins.

What happened? What happened?

A shoulder throw! She executed
a perfect shoulder throw!

In the final match, Officer lzumi
will face Lieutenant Kanuka.

This should be interesting.

Kanuka's too good for Division 2.

Do you want her?

Would you like her to transfer to Division 1?

You'd never let her go.

You can't have her.

I don't think I can win.

Wisdom and bravery.

In a real fight, you can't choose your enemy.

You can't run away.

You have to do your duty.

And so...

What?

Wisdom and bravery will
see you through, somehow.

I don't really understand, but okay.

Now, the final battle:
Officer Izumi vs. Lieutenant Kanuka.

Bow!

Begin!

Get back! You'll lose if you lock arms!

Wisdom and bravery.

Electromagnetic police baton!

Too slow!

Come on!

Why, you!

If you lose your head, you've lost!

What's she doing?

She's staying out of arm's reach.

Well, that way she can't lose.
But she can't win, either.

Noa was defiant, but that
left them in a stalemate.

Kanuka contained Noa
with minimal wasted motion.

"Coward! Unfair!
Why don't you do something!"

Ota ridiculed Noa, but she stood her ground.

No one had expected such a long,
drawn-out match.

You'd better finish the fight
before your power runs out!

But which is wisdom and which is bravery?

It's good that you held out so long...

but you don't have to match
her skill. Just attack!

My batteries!

She's coming for me!

That's enough!

I did it!

Lieutenant Clancy Kanuka wins!

What? Why?

Because of this.

Stop!

You wasted too much motion, Officer lzumi.

If you'd used more precision,
you'd still have power left.

Quiet, please. Now, the moment
you've been waiting for:

Unit 1 Forward, Ingram Pilot:

Officer Noa Izumi.

Really? You're serious?

What would you do if I were lying?

I did it!

Unit 1 Backup, command car:
Officer Asuma Shinohara.

Yes, Sir.

Unit 1 Labor carrier:
Officer Hiromi Yamazaki.

Yes, Sir.

Unit 2 Forward, Ingram pilot:
Officer Isao Ota.

Backup, command car:
Lieutenant Clancy Kanuka.

Labor carrier:
Officer Mikiyasu Shinshi. That is all.

Ota, do you know why I chose you
as the forward?

Yes, Sir! I can't give orders
to Lieutenant Kanuka!

No!

It's because I'll only be here for six months.

You shouldn't adapt the Ingram
to someone who's going to leave.

Six months...

It's going to be an interesting half year.

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

This is Special Vehicles, Section 2.

We're stuck out here
in the middle of nowhere.

Life in this department has been
really weird these days...

I guess I just have to get used to it.

Stupid! You don't have the time for that!

Ingram Unit 3 just sank to the
bottom of the sea!

You better go get it.

How can I do that? Oh no!
He's gonna rust down there!

Well, if you can't do it, we're all sunk.
