Patlabor: The Mobile Police (1989–1990): Season 1, Episode 5 - Runaway Labor X-10 - 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.
You must not let go of your dreams
And never turn your gaze away
Yet even still love may cloud up and fade away
And even though you comforted your love
When he was feeling down
Sadness was still weighing down his heavy heart
Hang on tight to your dreams -
they're weapons in your arsenal
You'll find that you can get through anything at all
So never cry - you know I will always
be watching over you
What I love about you
is your strong sense of fairness
So never cry - you know I will always
be right there by your side
And so now you can face your future fearlessly
Labor X-10, Out of Control!
It's beautiful!
I'm so glad we came, Mamoru!
The autumn leaves are so beautiful!
Your lips are more beautiful.
Mamoru!
What's that Labor doing here?
Special Vehicles, Second Section.
Yes, speaking.
At Gotenba?
National Route 138?
The first horse in race 2, After Five,
weighs in 2 kilograms less than...
Yes, I understand.
Please do not open.
Hiromi
Is there some point to this?
We get bigger tomatoes
if I pinch off some of the buds.
Hiromi, why did you become a policeman?
You're more suited to farming
than fighting Labors.
I mean, ah, you could probably
fight a Labor barehanded!
Right, right! I mean, ah, you could
probably fight a Labor barehanded!
Division 2, emergency mobilization.
I repeat: Division 2, emergency mobilization.
Captain! I have lots of questions!
I imagine so.
I haven't told you much... only that we're
being sent to the Gotenba Interchange.
This is an emergency, isn't it?
Yes.
So shouldn't we have our sirens on,
to get there quickly?
I agree! We need to make more noise!
But if Headquarters wanted us
to move discreetly...
they'd simply order a rapid mobilization.
Exactly. This time,
I'm in the same boat you are.
The same boat?
I was told to go to the Gotenba Interchange,
enter National Route 138, and wait for contact.
That's all I know.
Japan Ground
Self Defense Force
Good to see you.
I'm Aoki of the prefectural police.
Goto, Special Vehicles, Second Section.
What are the roadblocks for?
I don't know.
We've been ordered to close off
National Route 138.
So you got orders, too?
What's going on?
I have a bad feeling about this.
But since we were sent,
it must involve Labors.
Like what?
We'll find out, soon enough.
Have you discovered anything, Shinobu?
I've checked everywhere, but no.
Is HQ keeping quiet, or are they
out of the loop on this?
Everything is sealed off around
Lake Yamanaka and Route 138...
but the explanation is strange.
Strange?
Traffic reports say the roads were closed due to large
cracks around Kagozaka Pass and Lake Yamanaka.
Cracks in the road?
I hope they don't want to use our
Ingrams for highway work!
I'll call you if I learn anything else.
Thanks for your help.
The story about cracks is strange.
We came from Lake Yamanaka
just two hours ago.
We didn't see any problems.
How about Kagozaka Pass?
We had no problems there, either.
Two hours ago...
Captain, we were ordered
to mobilize before that.
What does it mean?
All I can say is that they're trying to
pursue this secretly...
...and it's near Lake Yamanaka, whatever it is.
It has broken through Squad 3.
The X10 has changed course.
It's heading toward Yamanaka.
We've just hit our worst-case scenario.
The X10 is intended to be
an unmanned unit...
so it's equipped with the latest
in artificial intelligence.
Unfortunately, we seem to have lost control,
and its program includes leveling a city.
You mean that thing is heading for a city?
No, we didn't load a map into its database,
so it doesn't have a target yet. However...
However?
To find a city to level, it's programmed
to follow the roads.
It will soon reach National Route 138...
and that should lead it
straight to Gotenba, here.
The government has already
called in the metropolitan police.
Any further moves on our part
might look VERY bad.
Let's hope they can handle it.
They'd better be able to stop
it before the contact point.
JSDF Type-97
Goto here.
What's your location?
National Route 138, just outside Gotenba.
Good. Here's your mission...
Stop a runaway Labor?
Why can't it stop on its own?
Good question. Also consider this fact...
This runaway will detect other Labors
on its sensors and attack them.
What?
Wait a minute. You said, "On its sensors."
Are you saying this thing is unmanned?
So it would seem.
A Labor isn't usually
equipped with weapons...
...unless it's...
A military Labor.
Yeah, considering our orders and
deployment, everything fits.
And the military has a practice range
at the base of Mount Fuji.
But if the Self Defense Force has a
runaway Labor, why don't they deal with it?
They tried and failed.
Th-the JSDF told you that?
No, but remember that we were
on standby alert.
It seems likely that we were
Stage 2 of their plan.
Stage 2?
If they could handle it, they'd just
send us back to the station.
I don't want the blame
for a military screw-up.
You only give me orders.
I'M the one who'll get the blame!
How vulgar.
Why haven't we heard anything
more on that runaway Labor?
We're linked to the Prefectural Police, but...
Captain, Headquarters just called!
Halt! Halt!
Stop or I'll shoot!
This is Yamanashi from Headquarters.
The runaway Labor has
broken through at Yamanaka.
It's moving along National Route 138,
toward Gotenba.
It must be stopped!
Roger.
Well, then.
This might be a convenient place to do it.
Time for work.
We'll wait for it here.
We'll lure it into this construction site.
Remember, this won't be a walk in the park.
Roger!
Noa, stand by!
I'm ready whenever.
Labor carrier, Deck Up!
Roger.
It might try to shoot from back there.
I'll kill it!
Here it comes!
Target verified!
Yuck!
What's with that paint job?
Is that really a military Labor?
Noa, what are you doing? Hurry up!
Roger.
I don't want to hit him head-on!
Noa, now!
It's coming!
Good work. Make it use up its ammo.
Easy for you to say!
Submit!
Ota, pick your shots more carefully!
I'm the one stopping it!
And I'm the one giving orders!
Are you okay, Ota?
That proves it.
Look on the Labor's hull.
They tried to camouflage it.
It says "X-10". Captain, that X means...
It's an experimental unit.
So it's a secret military project...
...and now the thing's running wild.
The entire project's probably top secret...
because the media would have
a field day with this.
That's a dangerous toy to lose control of.
Damn! I'm out of bullets!
What did you plan to do
if you ran out of ammo first?
Ota!
Noa!
It's out of ammo! Noa, close in
and go for its legs!
Roger!
Don't hesitate!
But...
I'll do it!
What happened?
Don't worry, it's just a smoke bomb!
Where is it? I can't see a thing!
It's jumping!
Izumi, now!
Okay!
This thing's really tough.
We can't overpower it.
Captain, it's stronger than our Labors!
I think someone needs to
get aboard to stop it.
That's just what I was thinking.
You do it, Shinohara.
Me?
Is anyone else qualified?
You get to fight a Labor
bare-handed, Asuma! Good luck!
Hurry up, lzumi!
Be careful!
I know!
Are you trying to kill me?
I'm doing my best!
The motors in the Ingrams
are at their limit. Hurry!
I can't hold on here forever!
I'm past my limit!
Asuma, are you okay?
Somehow.
Here it is!
Asuma!
I'm busy!
Where's the disc? Here?
Asuma, hurry up and stop it!
I'm exhausted!
I could've stopped it sooner,
if I'd had more bullets!
What are you saying?
At the end, you almost fainted!
Now THAT was a tough job.
Yeah...
But I feel kind of sorry for that poor Labor.
Captain, was it wise to leave an experimental
military Labor just sitting in the middle of a field?
Weren't we ordered to destroy it
and deny any involvement?
Well, it was too tough
to be destroyed anyway.
Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue
If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight
Midnight Blue
ll know I can do it, If only just once
Pulled into my dream I find that I wake up
Drenched in sweat and feeling lonely
I turn off the TV I've been listening to
Tomorrow I will spend the whole day
In the city of my dreams, amidst the old dust
I want to feel the main street beneath my feet soon
I plan to always look on the brighter side
Keep my chin up, look to the future
After all, there's only one path I can travel
Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue
If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight
Midnight Blue
ll know I can do it, If only just once
Midnight Blue
If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight
Midnight Blue
ll know I can do it, If only just once
This story is fiction...
but in 10 years, who knows?
"The Tower" is an imposing new structure...
once complete it will be 1000 meters high.
Someone's started a fire at about 200 meters
and an ambassador's trapped inside!
The Fire Department's Labors
failed their rescue!
The only hope left is two of our Ingrams.
Do you think Captain Goto's plan will work?
