Patlabor: The New Files (1990–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Sono na wa amunejia - full transcript
"Labour" is the common name for robots
developed for industrial use.
Their use became widespread
in construction and civil engineering,
but Labour-related crimes
sky-rocketed as well.
To combat this, the Metro Police
created a Patrol Labour unit:
The Special Vehicles, Section 2.
This is the origin of Patlabor.
Somebody notices that
lonely girl who came rushing in
Pushing against the
waves of people crashing by
Fanned by the city's winds,
she does a silent dance just for fun
Making yesterday shine
Even on days when
sadness drops by for a visit
You stay in step,
staying true to yourself
Red-hot glory
When you believe in that far-off future
That's when you're even greater
I want to tell you
everything I'm feeling now because
Mobile Police Patlabor
I can't believe it...
he really was a monster...
Yes, a tragic monster created
through genetic engineering.
That was his true form.
Shinohara Heavy Industries'
ultimate AV Project,
designed to monopolise the Labour market.
It takes the Labour concept
in a new direction.
But it's much cheaper,
and in large numbers it shall provide...
the ultimate Labour force.
That's the answer to your question.
You can't be serious!
Oh, but I am.
And now that you know the secret
of the prototype, I can't let you live.
I knew you were in on this!
Impossible!
There's a seat open, mister!
I'd like a bowl of noodles
and two plates of gyoza!
Two's too many! One's plenty!
I said I want two, so I'd like two!
And I said that one is plenty!
Where am I?
What am I doing here? Who am I?
It's Called Amnesia
Hey!
Hi, I'm home!
How are you, Miki, honey?
Shinohara Heavy industries
Mikiyasu Shinshi.
Shinjuku ward, Yayoi town.
Is that who I am?
Good morning!
You're late, Officer Izumi!
I'm sorry.
I had trouble straightening out my hair.
Huh? Where is everybody?
I can't believe everybody's late
coming back from their day off!
Oh, no...
What would the captain say
if he saw this?
Huh? Nobody's here?
This is bad. Really bad.
What would Captain Nagumo say
if she saw this?
I'm sorry, sir.
It's not like it's your fault, Kumagami.
Still, it's weird
that all the men are gone.
Do you know anything about this,
Officer Izumi?
Not really, but I remember them saying
something about all the men...
having a party at Shinshi's,
since his wife was out of town.
Hello, SV2 Division 2 here.
Oh, hi, Mrs. Shinshi.
What? There are corpses
in your living room?
Your husband's and Shinohara's?
Don't cry, Tamiko. These things happen.
B-But how could my Miki
do something like this?
That's my wife?
The poor woman...
Her husband always seemed so nice.
I suppose you can never tell
with some people.
He fled the scene, so he probably
isn't carrying much money,
which means that
he probably hasn't gone very far.
The captain hypothesises that
he may have temporary amnesia.
We must find him before
we lose him for good.
We'll track him down ourselves.
Understand?
Officer Izumi,
you check the back streets.
Roger!
Oops, I'll refill that in a minute.
Mister?
It is you! It's me!
Masa the Cold Noodle!
Wow, it's been a long time!
I remember it like it was yesterday.
It's been three years since then
I was a delinquent who called himself
the King of Noodle Eaters
acting tough, and
ordering cold noodles year-round.
I was a nobody whose only claim
to fame was skipping out on bills.
That's when I met you.
I'll never forget it.
It was at a shop in front of
the Kinshi town station.
"Mach-Ken," or something like that.
I still remember
the way you swore at me.
You only eat cold noodles
in the hot sunshine, you fool!
If you still want to eat that on
a cold day like today, I'll warm you up!
Wow, you were so cool...
You won me over that day.
When I came to in a hospital bed,
I finally remembered something.
My buddies told me to stay clear
of the counters in Kinshi town,
because that's where
the Mad Cop hangs out,
and nobody's tougher than him.
I'm a mad cop?
"People who skip out on bills,
shoplifters, murderers..."
They're all equal
in the eyes of the Law.
If you can't understand that, I'll beat
the daylights out of you, " you said."
The thought that somebody could get
so angry at a man like me...
Well, that really hit home.
Thanks to you, I went straight,
and now I'm living a good life,
working part-time jobs.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I don't mean to sound nosy,
but are you in trouble with the law?
If you want, you can come to my place.
It's not big,
but you can stay the night there.
That's okay.
Thanks, but you've gone straight.
I don't want to get you into any trouble.
Hold on!
Fujieda, Shizuoka Prefecture. 0654-22...
Shinshi residence.
Hello, I... I'm a classmate of
Mikiyasu's from high school.
My name is Kubo.
Oh, you're putting together
a reunion list?
Thank you for calling.
That's right,
Mikiyasu's working in Tokyo now.
He got some strange notion in his head,
and he quit his job
to join the police force.
He's in that SV2 Patrol Labour squad,
the one that handles Labour control.
He's such a gentle boy, so I wasn't sure
if he could handle the job.
His father was so happy to have an
oddball in this family of office workers.
We even saw Mikiyasu on TV
when they were providing security...
for the old U.S president
when he came here a while ago.
That's all his father
ever talks about when people come over.
He seems to be so busy at work, though.
He's married to
a lively woman named Tamiko,
but I wonder when they'll ever
find time to give us a grandchild.
Still, I suppose I should be
grateful if he stays safe and happy.
Labour driver needed immediately!
Harada Constr., Shibuya Site
You're a Labour pilot, aren't you?
Right? You are, aren't you?
I can spot them straight away!
Our usual man didn't show up, but we'd
already rented this expensive monster.
What do you say? I'll throw in a bonus.
Can you start right now?
But I...
What happened?!
Section five just went up
all of a sudden!
The girders collapsed, and Tome's
Hercules got pinned underneath!
Tome's in there?
- Could be terrorists! Get a rescue unit!
- He might die before then! Call the SV2!
The fire'll get to him first!
Where's its start-up disk?
But...
Hurry it up! Do you have the disk,
or don't you?
Hey! Don't be stupid! Don't do it!
He'll be okay.
Could I use your phone?
Hercules 21...
Total height, 6.95 meters.
Total weight, 5.87 tons.
Electronically-controlled suspension.
Multi-ring manipulator.
Here!
Will he be all right?
He should be.
He just has a slight concussion,
and he didn't inhale much smoke.
Anyway, could you explain
why you kept tailing him...
without calling for backup,
if you had spotted him so long ago?
Given his mental state at the time,
what if he had started something?
Exactly. I didn't know what
he'd do if I cornered him?
He might not have recognised me.
That, and...
And what?
Watching him was a lot of fun.
Okay, then. Can somebody
tell me what started all this?
Officer Shinohara!
Ma'am!
It was an unfortunate accident,
brought about by a repressed,
deep-seated hatred and a
wildly improbable coincidence.
At Shinshi's place because his wife,
Tamiko, was gone.
As could be expected,
nobody really got into it,
and we eventually just
drank ourselves into a stupor.
That's when it happened.
The tragedy began
with that tape I found.
D-Don't!
Life With Tamiko?
Don't! Don't do it!
Miki!
Miki!
Miki!
I admit that it was
quite careless of me.
I should have realised how boring
someone else's family album would be,
as well as how painful it would be
to watch it.
He was embarrassed,
but Officer Shinshi watched the TV...
without taking his eyes off it
for a second.
We were in someone else's home,
so we could only wait and
hope that the tape would end quickly.
But there are those who are unfamiliar
with courtesy... No, with tact.
Enough! Stop it!
It's making me lose my buzz!
Give me your video card, Shinshi!
I'll go rent something!
It's in the coat over there.
I vote for Die Hard 5, Ota!
Don't worry.
I can pick something more exciting
than this with my eyes closed!
You... You think it's boring?
What was done, was done. So, we had to
decide how to deal with the situation.
Was there some way we could
kill two birds with one stone,
and not only avoid retaliation on
the part of Officer Ota,
but also make him reconsider his
violent ways and violence as a whole?
The results were impressive.
Everything went according to plan.
Except for Officer Ota's
loss of memory...
and the unexpected return
of Mrs. Shinshi.
H-Hello? Police?
M-My Mikiyasu's a zombie!
A blood-soaked zombie!
It took forever to explain things
and send the police home...
That's the whole story, sir.
It'll take more than a report
to make this one go away, men!
I'd be prepared for the worst
if I were you!
Ota's awake!
Still, this may be
just what the doctor ordered.
Now he knows what it's like to be
on the run and hunted down.
I doubt it.
I asked the doctor
about that a while ago.
He says that when their memory returns,
patients usually forget most of
what happened while they had amnesia.
So the only cure for stupidity
is death?
Ota, calm down...
Don't!
Shinshi, you lout!
Even if the winds of time
push me from behind,
I want to go my own way.
Yes, you can search
the whole world over,
but there's only one dream
for the two of us.
Ah, let's make that dream
come true a bit at a time...
until it shines
in all the colours of the rainbow.
I always want to be
joined in tenderness to you...
in my 100-carat heart.
This is a work of fiction...
but in ten years, who knows?
The kitten that Noa found on a
rainy day still doesn't have a name.
Hiromi, Asuma, and I get Shige to help,
and we work to keep the kitten a secret.
We ran into a series
of unexpected difficulties.
Maybe trying to raise her
at the SV2 was hopeless...
It kind of makes you go
"aw," doesn't it?
Next time!
