Patlabor: The New Files (1990–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Game Over - 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.

You're a tough man who's
never depressed, come what may

But if you're ever swept away
by the waves of time

And aren't sure of yourself,
I want to be there for you

I want to understand how you feel,
right down to the smallest pain

I want to protect you,
everything about you



You're not alone, so

Don't forget, just call me

Because I'll always be waiting for you

I'll never give up,
no matter how far apart we may be

And I'll send you the power
of my love until you shine

Serial Bombing Act of Terrorism

This is the eighth bombing...

And the fifth one this week.

Maybe that Beach House
outfit is at it again.

I wouldn't doubt it.

All the targets have been
manufacturers that've taken orders...



for products related
to the Babylon Project.

You have to hand it to those men.

Hey, the water's cooling off.

Well, they're not
on a rampage with a Labour,

so we're in the clear
for the time being.

Shut up!

The SV2 has tangled with
Beach House on countless occasions!

They're our nemesis!

What makes you say
their evil hand won't reach us here?

I suppose you're right.

I won't let anything go wrong
while the Commander's off on business!

I want night security tightened,
as of tonight!

I want a patrol put together now!

Get going! Jump to it!

I'm jumping! I'm jumping!

Moron.

Shige!

An investigation has shown that
the explosion was caused by a...

gas leak from the propane tank,
which we've always been worried about.

I repeat, this was an accident,
completely unrelated to any...

terrorist act carried out
by any organisation.

Furthermore, although this may be
hard to believe, the hospital...

called a while ago, saying that
Shige doesn't have a scratch on him.

We shall deal with this accident
in-house, so let's learn from this...

and strive to be even more
careful from now on.

That is all.

The Commander's off on business,
Chief Fukushima is at HQ,

Captain Nagumo is on vacation,
and Kumagami called in sick.

We were lucky.

With all that noise, considering that
we don't even have to write...

a single incident report,
you could call it a miracle.

But is it really okay
for the Captain to do that?

The entire maintenance crew is
working to get rid of the evidence.

When the Chief comes back tomorrow,
there shan't be any traces left.

But losing that propane tank
shall hurt.

No kidding!

How long shall it be
until the bath's up and running again?

I've been itching all over lately!

Noa, you called
the store about it?

I called, but if we don't place
an order there, they won't deliver.

Kubo Sales?

That place is no good,
they don't have any sales drive.

Well, having something
delivered way out here...

is a tall order to begin with.

Then somebody should go and pick one up!

But we don't have a tank to exchange!

That tank was supposed to
last for another two weeks.

If we go and get a new one,
they might start to ask questions.

I suppose we must
grin and bear it.

How can we fulfil our duties
if we can't take a bath?

This itches!

Hey! Why don't we go to a public bath?

A public bath?

But it takes 40 minutes to
walk to the closest one!

So we just take the maintenance van.

Hey! Are you forgetting
that we're on standby?

If anything comes up,
they can bring the trailers to us.

We can go from the bath house?

Answer a dispatch from a bath house?

Are you sure that's a good idea?

The real problem is,
what if we screw up during a dispatch...

because we're itching so much?

Right, Ota?

But would even the Captain
give us the okay to do that?

So we invite the Captain to come along!

We all use the baths,
wash up, drink some milk, have some...

ice cream, and stop for
ramen at the Shanghai on the way back.

It's a plan!

Looks like he's just unconscious.

He passed out
in the middle of the street?

Captain...

What have we here?

Hey, he's an
inspector with Public Security.

Easy, now...

Are you all right?

W-Who are you?

I'm Goto, with the SV2's Division 2.

The SV2?

Call headquarters...
I just cornered the bomber...

The serial bomber...

You cornered the bomber,
and then what? You were knocked out?

The bomber's carrying a bomb made of
high-grade plastic explosives.

Hurry... Call headquarters...

What does he look like?
Does he have any distinctive features?

Right armpit... Three moles...

Captain!

Izumi, take him to the hospital
in the van.

What about the rest of you, Captain?

Look around.

The bomber just left the area.

To the left and right
are warehouse walls.

He could have gone forward or back.
This is a straight road.

But we didn't pass anyone.

Then...

He's in that bath house?

Should we wait for backup
and then raid the place?

You know what he is capable of.

If we wait,
we'll be giving him time to escape.

He's carrying a bomb, so the place
is full of potential hostages.

So if we corner him,
we're in trouble.

Let's get to work.

Everyone, take off your uniforms
and leave them with Izumi.

Izumi, once you get to the hospital,
call headquarters.

Explain the situation
and ask them to surround the bath house.

Kongo Bath House

Man, I'm in heaven.

Hey! We're not here
for a soak in the tub!

I'm keeping my cover.

I took a quick look around,

but there's nothing around here
that looks like a bomb.

So it's in a locker, then.

What do we do, Captain?

The clincher is the moles
in his armpit,

but nobody would show us
if we asked straight-out.

That's something only
perverts would do, Normally.

So let's just go
and pick a fight with them!

That's something that the Yakuza
or a gang would do!

I'll leave the means of verification
to your discretion,

but first, let's start
by going over our suspects.

Ignoring the Commander and the boy,
we're left with...

First, that long-haired man
with the mean look in his eyes.

That look may have been
in style 30 years ago, but not today.

Preconceptions don't belong
in an investigation.

Next up is... Who is that?

Don't people like that
strangle chickens and drink their blood?

I don't put up with that kind of thing!

I have the feeling that
he's going to be a problem.

What's his story?

Maybe we should call a priest.

How can you work as a cop
if you're afraid of the Yakuza?

So we have Ponytail, Thug,
Mole Man, #13, and Tattoo...

So one of those is the bomber.

Those five don't seem real,
do they?

Like they say,
truth is stranger than fiction.

I say we just charge them all at once!

Okay, let's say
we jump them all at once.

What happens if one of us is pinned?
We lose it all.

We can't afford to be risk-takers, okay?

So what if we take control
of the lockers first, just to be safe?

It's safe to assume that he
has some kind of remote detonator.

It could even be in his mouth.

So our only chance is a fast, careful,
divide and conquer plan.

I won't take Tattoo.

I'm not too good with the Yakuza...

Well, I'm not going to do it.

I'm not very good with
people who kill chickens.

Whether you like it or not
doesn't enter into it!

Then you handle the Yakuza!

I bet he's on speed!

I'll take #13.

No fair!

I've had my eye on him
since we came in here!

Hey!

That's that, then. Asuma and Yamazaki,
you two take Ponytail.

Shinshi, you handle Thug.
I'll take Mole Man.

But what about Tattoo?

If those four are clean, that means
that Tattoo is our man?

When the time comes,
the five of us shall go in together.

Let's do it!

I love that sound!

I'm going to borrow this, okay?

Hey, boy.

See that man in there?

1 18, 1 19, 120, 121...

What the heck do you think you're doing?

You made me lose count!

Violence is never the answer!

Let go! Let me go!

Make him count them!

Why was he drawing on my moles?

He'll pay for it!

I like to count my moles
when I'm in the bath!

I'm straight.

Say what?

I'll pick a fight.
When he falls for it, we grab him.

Got it?

But... Hey!

I'm getting some milk, ma'am.

Yum!

Look at him. He's drinking a cola.

Only a moron doesn't know
how good milk is after you take a bath.

Right, Hiromi?

It's so good, I'm going to throw up.

I think I'll have a cola, Hiromi.

Show me.

I'm asking you to show me your armpit!

Hey! Mister!

What's the matter? Show the man.

Who are you all?

Show him!

They told you to show me
your armpit, chicken!

No.

That settles it.

It's the one with the ponytail!

Shinohara! That's the bomber!

Don't let him get away, Yamazaki!

What the heck? What are you...

You!

You can't be serious.

I suppose this means
we can't wait for backup.

We can't do that, and you know it.

All hands! Charge!

You!

Shinohara! Yamazaki!
What the heck are you doing?

You pervert!

You're not getting away!

Dog! Scum-bag!

Watch it!

Well done!

I don't get it!

This doesn't make sense.

Shinohara! It's a woman!
The bomber's a woman!

Some days, you'll find tears
rolling down your cheeks

But I never forget
what I had my eyes on

The sun rises, and the light
thaws out the city

And I keep my eyes on myself
in the rush of things

I don't want to run away,
so I walk everywhere

I don't want to lose sight of it

So I chase after that
never-ending dream

I keep deep in my heart

I keep deep in my heart

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

Having incurred the wrath of
the malevolent god, Seitaro Sakaki,

all pleasures are banned
for the young maintenance squad members,

but they choose their own way,
setting up underground movements.

It's a storm of punishments!

Will there be snitches or a rebellion?

Or is it just a revolution of perverts?

Shall it mean freedom or oppression?

Hysterical violence strikes
the SV2 Maintenance Squad!

Next time: The Seven Days of Fire!

Target, Locked on!
