Patlabor: The New Files (1990–…): Season 1, Episode 15 - Hoshi kara ki ta onna - 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 Tokyo Metropolitan
Police created a Patrol Labour unit:

the Special Vehicles, section 2.

This is the origin of Patlabor.

Idling... The goal you're reaching
for is just sitting there,

but the waves of heat are hiding it
from you.

As you climb that high mountain path...

your footsteps may seem
heavy sometimes.

If you stop and take a minute
to look up at the sky,



the sun's pointing out the way.

Idling... It's right there,
just past your outstretched arms.

Your path goes on, shining away
in the days to come.

The engine in your heart is revving up,

so lift your eyes and move out again.

The Girl Who Came From the Stars

Good work today.

Hey, you look a little pale, Noa.
Are you okay?

I'm fine.

If you say so.
Anyway, don't push yourself too hard.

Here, eat this.
Maybe it'll pick you up.

Officer Izumi.

Or, Team Member Noa Izumi, I should say.



I see you've finally found
our command centre.

What the heck is going on here?

This is the hidden truth
behind the Metro Police's SV2.

What we really are is:

CLAT!

This is CLAT's Japanese Branch.

Excuse me. I think I'll be going now.

This is no time to lose it, Izumi.

Look.

Orbital Station SV2
to Defence Force Base.

Three Space Dauphins have not returned
to base. Request emergency search.

CLAT Japan Branch

A large number
of unidentified craft have broken...

through the number one defence line.

How could the SV2 let them get through?

We don't know
if they're hostiles yet, Ota.

Shinshi, you wimp!

That kind of thinking is what makes
Earth such a ripe target for aliens!

It's a dream...

This has to be a dream...

Counsellor.

Just this once,
Team Member Ota may be right.

Moments ago, the SV2 went to battle
against that group of unknown craft.

The enemy overwhelmed
the SV2's interceptors...

and broke through our
number one defence line.

We lost contact with the three
Space Dauphins at that time.

The SV2's Captain Nagumo was one
of the pilots.

It's unlikely that she survived.

No, not Shinobu...

I'm picking up an unidentified craft
on radar!

Ota!

What?

I have a bad feeling about this.

Do you know what day this is?

It's Tamiko's birthday!

Hey, isn't that a Space Dauphin?

It's heading for the base!

It's taken a pounding.

Is her radio malfunctioning?

Ah! I've lost control!

I'm glad you made it.

I lost all my men again.

Maybe we should throw the kitchen sink
at them next time.

Shinobu! You had us worried there!

Long time, no see.

I'm glad you're safe, ma'am.

It'll take more than that to kill me.

Speaking of which, the Hawk-1 you sent
out for me was shot down by the aliens.

They went in for an emergency landing,

so if they haven't been taken prisoner,
they should be all right.

Ota! Shinshi!

Hey, you made it!

You could've reported in
to let us know you were okay!

I'm sorry
for any trouble I may have caused.

I'm tired, so I think I'll go rest
for a while.

Something's funny here.
Those aren't human eyes.

Come on, now. You're supposed to say that
before you shoot people dead.

Anybody could tell that there's
something funny about them.

He's right. Shinshi's always tired...

and Ota would never apologise
that politely.

Noa Izumi. You're quite tough.

I didn't do anything! Nothing at all!

Captain!
The enemy knows where our base is!

Do you think they found out?

A large group of flying saucers
is heading this way!

I won't let them get away
with a sneak attack!

They'll pay for what they did
to my men!

Terrestrial defence is our job.

Yamazaki and Kumagami,
you stay here and command the garrison.

Izumi and Shinohara,
go out there and rescue Ota and Shinshi.

Captain Goto!

I'm not listening.

Goto!

I can't hear you.

Okay, let's get on with it.

Yes, sir!

Needlessly restraint is bad
for your health, Captain Nagumo.

I suppose you're right.
Hold the fort, then.

I was wondering when you'd come.

I've been riding this
up and down for ages.

Anyway, CLAT-Port is beneath us.
You can't get in without a key.

A key?

Take care of Captain Goto.

He never changes his socks,
even though he has athlete's foot,

he's a heavy smoker,
has a stoop, is losing his hair...

and, at first glance, there's something
about him that you can't figure out,

but then you find that
you can't figure him out at all.

But still, I can say this much
about him: he needs you.

Take care of him,
'til death do you part.

What are you talking about?

Don't say such things!

I knew you'd come.

Idiot.

(Crash site)

They're around here somewhere.

The real Shinshi and Ota are okay,
aren't they?

Noa! Look at that!

Squad 3! Get that A-A Maser Cannon
into position!

Squad 5! Get the A-A missiles
into position!

Shiba!

Hi, Yamazaki. Where is everybody?

Shinohara!

What?

Over here! Help us!

Hey! Izumi! Shinohara!

Asuma, over here!

Ota! Shinshi!

Please! Hit that switch over there!

Okay, I get it. Stand clear, Noa!

We're saved!

Thank goodness!
I thought we were done for!

It's the real you this time?

Of course it's us!

Okay, let's get out of here!

Testing, testing...

The saucer group is now
within Maser Cannon range!

Hawks 1 and 2, and all defence units,
leave the combat zone immediately!

Maser Cannon, fire!

You're not getting away from me!

Scary...

Did you say something?

Not a word.

Hurry, Ota!

L-Look!

Ah! Now they've sent in a monster!

Attack!

Retreat!

It's heading for the base!

Hurry! Noa!

Am I dreaming?

If this is just a dream, then...

Noa! What're you doing?

What the heck is that?

Wait, don't tell me you're...

Asuma, I'm...

I'm Ingraman, sent here
from the AV-98 Nebula!

Fire!

Okay, you've had your fun!
Prepare to meet your maker!

Ota, it looks tough!
Let's withdraw!

Keep your mouth shut
and pilot it!

I won't let you spoil my fun!

Enough of you!

Did we kill it?

Tamiko!

When the morning star shines
in the dawn sky,

and a streak of light flashes
out towards space, that's me.

What? Why are you telling me this?

Everybody's in danger!

Wait!

Look! It's Ingraman!

Ingraman has fought countless invaders
to preserve peace on Earth,

but now, even Ingraman's time
is drawing near.

Will he really die?

What shall happen to the earth
if he dies?

Stand! Stand, our Ingraman!

The fate of the earth is in your hands!

Noa is Ingraman.

She's risked her life so many times,
fighting to save us.

Izumi...

You can't lose! You can't die!

Stand up, Izumi! Stand up!

Noa Izumi, you were the best.

We won't let you die in vain, Izumi.

Ingraman! Ah...

Captain Goto! Use this!

What is it?

The Mars 1999 Anglemore.
We've been working around the clock...

to complete this new weapon.

Shoot him with it.

Hand it over! I'll shoot it!

Even if Noa... if Ingraman falls,
we'll protect peace on Earth!

That's just a prototype
so we only have one.

Don't miss, Ota.

We've won!

We avenged Noa!

We saved the planet on our own!

Izumi can now rest in peace.

What's that?

Another Ingraman?

He's come to take her back
to their home-world.

An Ingraman goes back home
when he dies?

He can't be dead! He's got to be alive!

Right. When danger once again
threatens the earth,

Ingraman shall return to us.

Until that day comes, we'll have
to protect the Earth ourselves.

I am Zero. I have come to take you back
to the AV-98 Nebula.

The day has come for Ingraman to return
so that he may rest his injured body.

The earth is threatened
by many invaders, Zero.

I mustn't leave this world.

You have fought well, Ingraman. Let the
Earthlings defend their own world now.

Now, let us go home.

Wait! Leave Noa here.
She's still young.

Very well. I have two souls.

I shall give one of them to you.

And as for the other one...

I'll keep it.

Hey, wait a minute! That's mean!

Farewell.

What's with you, Shinohara?
Did you drift off there?

Come on Asuma, I was telling you all
about that cool dream I had...

and you go and fall asleep.

Oh, well.

Anyway, CLAT's commander looked...

exactly like Captain Goto,
except he was blonde!

Okay, I get it... I fell asleep
while hearing about Shige's dream.

What's wrong, Asuma?

Wait a minute!

Noa!

W-What?

Why were you the heroine
in my dream?

That night I knelt there,

counting the raindrops running
down my window.

I bit my lip, unable to keep...

the anger and pain bottled up
in my heart.

But those tears you can't hold back...

are proof that you're still alive.

It's not like everybody's dreaming
in the stillness of the night.

I'm still looking for the place...

I put those heavy bags carried
by my heart.

This story is a work of fiction...
but in ten years, who knows?

It looks like they're finally
following through...

on all the talk about setting
up a Third Unit.

Yes.

They'll probably put Kumagami
in charge of it?

Yes.

What's wrong? We're all about
to go out to Okutama!

No. There's somewhere we have to go.

Huh? You and me?

Next time!
All Quiet at the Second Unit!

Target, locked on!

Target, locked on!
