Patlabor: The New Files (1990–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Hi no nana nichikan - 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
Mobile Police Patlabor
The Seven Days of Fire
Metro 303 to SV2, Division 2.
The Labour has left
the Haneda Line...
and is now fleeing
towards the Showajima Ramp.
I repeat, the Labour
has left the Haneda Line...
and is now fleeing
towards the Showajima Ramp.
Izumi. Ota.
Here it comes.
What are you doing, Ota?
There it goes...
Like heck!
Take this, villain!
Ota, it's backwards!
Your gun's pointing backwards!
Okay, how about this?
Should we send it back
to the manufacturer for repairs?
We still have parts left, don't we?
For the arm, sure,
but he blew its head off.
That's nothing but sensors,
so it's more than we can do...
Or we could get Unit 3 up and running
and use it in replacement.
I won't send out an expensive mech
like that at the drop of a hat.
The problem is,
there's a fool at the controls.
He doesn't need a head. Fix the arm
for now and order another head.
Yes, sir...
I don't mind, but even if we get
everyone to work on it right away,
I don't think we'll have it done
until tomorrow afternoon.
You have a problem with all-nighters?
I don't have a problem with that, but...
Everybody's been working
all-out for a while now,
so I was hoping to send at least
half of the staff home tonight.
There's no telling when a call
shall come. That's just the way it is.
I didn't want to say anything, Chief,
but the men are really tired.
Especially with all the
work we've had this month.
It's all they can do to have a
rest when their shift finishes.
I think it's
an accident in the making.
Shige.
Sir?
Load Unit 2 onto its carrier.
Send it out to the manufacturer
sometime today.
The Beauty of Japan:
The Four Seasons of the Nagara River...
All hands, up and ready!
Light it!
Yes, this was the origin
of the Seven Days of Fire.
An event that shook the SV2,
and was the only smudge on the...
otherwise unblemished record
of the proud Maintenance Squad.
Begin.
Sir!
This recent lapse
of discipline within...
the Maintenance Squad
stems from distractions!
Therefore, "Maintenance Squad Rules,
Vol. 2" has been established...
to enforce discipline with
the aim of improving work efficiency!
The contents were terrible, indeed.
Bringing personal items,
including magazines, videos,
and Nintendo games
into the workplace was prohibited.
Eating, sleeping, answering nature's
call, and personal conversations...
at any but the scheduled times
were prohibited.
Dangerous physical pastimes,
such as rock-paper-scissors,
horseback riding,
and wrestling were banned.
All productive activities
outside of work,
including fishing
in Tokyo Bay in the speedboat,
as well as drying fish,
were banned.
Loading games into
any of the SV2's computers was banned.
Many horrible punishments
were attached to these rules.
These included 500 push-ups,
indefinite latrine duty,
hanging upside-down,
and many others.
That is all!
You must be kidding!
What about our human rights?
How do we express ourselves if
even dried fish are banned?
Nobody asked for your opinion!
This hangar is the place...
where as mechanics we
hone our skills!
How dare you bring that
sleaze onto this reverend ground,
you dumb fools!
But, Chief... This is too much...
They do their best,
but in their own way!
Shut up!
They'll never amount to anything
because you're so soft on them!
When I was young, we worked all
hours and slept on a steel plate!
A steel plate!
This sermon, which was like
a nightmare that refused to end,
continued into the next morning.
But to completely ban
all private activities, including...
the reading of pornographic material,
dietary supplementation,
and all the simple pleasures
from a place like the SV2,
where such things as privacy and
a private life were almost unheard of,
Chief Sakaki's Orwellian policies
clearly turned back the clock.
But regardless of his fixation
on the lofty ideals of a mechanic,
it is an historical repercussion
that the complex desires of...
the young crew members,
who were forced to endure...
this bewildering turn of events,
should seek out an outlet...
and there should be either
subversion or sedition.
Improvement of the work environment
through data transmission by way of...
data compression techniques
or the SV2's local-area network.
Black market trading of
instant ramen and canned coffee.
The secret fishing of goby and the black
market sales of those dried fish...
found a market in those
who were addicted to...
such things, which had
long been a part of their diet.
These sales, however,
invited serious economic problems.
It seems strange around here.
I understand how Chief Sakaki seems,
but I think he may have
overdone it this time.
What'll happen to my chickens?
All that talk about
the workplace being a place...
to cultivate your mind...
I agree with him!
We're cops! Why that
mountain of pornographic magazines?
Of course the Commander was mad!
You looked at them, too, didn't you?
Ota, you pervert.
Shinohara! You never tell on other men!
What's wrong with
one or two skin magazines?
Well, they had over a hundred.
Cops are human, too.
We get tired, we get hungry,
and sometimes people want
to look at that.
And when somebody tries
to hold all that in,
that's when we get
trigger-happy lunatics.
Say what?
I'm not allowed to take care of
my tomatoes, either, am I?
I wonder what'll happen?
They said that Shige would
act as their representative...
and ask Sakaki to
loosen the regulations a little.
I don't think
things can go on like this.
Let's get started.
Thanks.
I brought you out here to
talk to you about the staff.
Actually, I wanted to ask you
something about that, Sir.
How long has it been since
you came to work for me, Shige?
Well, it was right after
I was assigned to the...
Special Vehicle Maintenance Division,
so it's been 10 years.
It flew by...
I remember the day
you showed up like it was yesterday.
They were saying that
you were an up-and-comer,
a whiz-kid who showed signs of
becoming the next ace...
of HQ's Special Vehicle
Maintenance Division.
So some people at work were
making a big fuss out of it,
talking about how
the Sakaki era was coming to an end.
That's ridiculous.
I was stuck up
just because I knew a trick or two.
I didn't know I was being led on
by those who wanted you gone,
so I just heard what I wanted to hear.
Like they say, the frog in the well
knows nothing of the ocean.
Every time I think about
what I did that day...
How long will you hang around?
You're holding people back, Sir!
Old folk like you should
go home and pet their cat!
Right, Sei, my man?
I want to dig a hole, crawl in, and die.
Don't worry about it.
Self-confident staff are like that.
And then there was the time
when a cop friend of mine wanted a favour,
so I fiddled around with a bike
that you had finished working on.
Luckily, he crashed into a
mattress factory and wasn't hurt,
but the bike was a write-off.
I thought I'd be thrown off the force,
but you came to my rescue.
I didn't want to throw away
talent like yours.
A real mechanic is someone
who's always looking for the truth.
People entrust their lives to us.
We must use our skills
to keep them alive.
When you taught me that,
I knew you'd be my lifelong teacher.
I want to teach the staff
the same thing, Shige.
But when words don't get through,
you must pound it in.
You'll do the same thing
when you're in my shoes.
Me?
That's right.
You'll take my place.
Sir!
Shigeo Shiba's change of heart,
later to become resentfully known...
by the entire maintenance squad as
"The Shanghai Betrayal,"
became central to the situation,
to the very end.
He put together the "HQ Natives,"
a group of subordinates...
directly under Chief Sakaki,
and immediately founded...
the SV2 Maintenance Squad
Disciplinary Purging Committee.
He took charge of the raiding squad
and set out on a purge of blood.
The Untouchables!
Face your punishment!
The tragedies of
omnipresent snitches and spies,
as well as the occasional unmasked
double spy, were added to that episode,
which later came to be known as
"Black October."
This was Shigeo Shiba's
magnum opus of crazed oppression.
However, authoritarian terrorism breeds
anti-authoritarianism.
When resistance groups form,
sabotage, subversion,
and terrorist acts against
prominent figures follow.
But the use of force against
the holder of absolute authority,
Chief Sakaki, who was a taboo figure
in even the subconscious minds...
of the Maintenance Squad, was banned.
As a result, their hatred became
focused upon the leader of the...
Disciplinary Committee and
the Punishment Squad: Shigeo Shiba.
Wait! Let me explain!
This isn't open to debate!
Prepare yourself!
Look! A UFO!
What? Where?!
Traitor!
However, history teaches us that
resistance groups' subversion,
and especially terrorism directed
against prominent figures,
call down even more severe
reprisals from those in power.
Ah, that hit the spot.
This is getting nasty.
Are you sure we shouldn't step in
and do something about this?
They're still doing their jobs,
and it's not interfering
with their duties.
But for a police unit
to even temporarily split...
into two factions
and terrorise each other?
Nobody'd be stupid enough to
leak this to headquarters.
It'd cost the Section Chief
his job, too.
How did things come to this?
It's bad news when leaders
start something stupid.
There isn't anybody around
who can hit the brakes.
Hey.
Have you ever thought that maybe
the Commander...
is one of those men who
doesn't want to grow up?
The Labours and the carriers
are toys to him,
and I bet that this
reclaimed land is like...
the vacant lot he played in
when he was a boy.
I doubt it.
An adult woman
wouldn't understand.
And in this situation,
where harsh control invited a strike...
and terrorism led
to terrorist reprisals,
factionalism within the resistance
groups added to the confusion.
Without any concrete ideas
or ideology other than their initial...
were at odds over how to see
Chief Sakaki, who was...
the figure at the centre of both
the situation and their strategies...
when force of arms
was finally resorted to.
This led to the unusual situation
where there were...
three factions with eleven sub-factions
existing simultaneously.
The "Maintenance Squad Democratisation
Front," which was critical of Sakaki,
expelled Shige's faction and demanded...
the democratisation
of the Maintenance Squad.
Then there was the
"Revolutionary Communique" faction,
which called for intervention by
the Maintenance Division,
an idea which had
broad support within the SV2.
Opposing them was the
"Reclaimed Land Report,"
a faction which opposed
outside intervention,
calling for a solution to be
found by the SV2 itself.
There was also the
"Free Awadachi Union," which quickly...
proclaimed their pacifism
and started singing.
There was also the " Wrenches of
Blood Alliance," which fervently...
pursued reprisals against
the Disciplinary Committee,
as well as the "Death to Shige Corps,"
which harboured...
a personal hatred towards Shige,
the committee's ringleader.
To be precise,
no one understood the situation,
and even at the time of
their greatest mobilisation,
the rosters of these groups never
reached the double digits,
and no single group ever
established hegemony.
And so, this unprecedented fight
which involved the entire...
Maintenance Squad soon degenerated
into a fruitless mêlée.
No! Don't!
Surprisingly, despite the fighting
that went on night and day,
the SV2 Maintenance Squad still
managed to fulfil its duties.
However, on the seventh day
after the bonfire incident...
Unable to cope with the rise
in deserters as a result of the fights,
the light in the Maintenance Squad's
office went out...
for the first time
since the founding of the SV2.
That'll be enough of that!
Are you ready to meet your maker,
Buchiyama?
No! I don't want to be
hung upside-down!
Hey, that's Maho Todome, isn't it?
So this is the special promo poster
from her new album...
Yes, it's called
"Blood-red Glasses," sir.
Well, I liked
"My Hot-headed You" better...
C-Chief!
T-Then you don't mind if we
hang it here as a symbol...
of the democratisation
of the Maintenance Squad?
Of course I mind, you moron!
Democratisation, my eye!
If you have time to spout such nonsense,
you have time to clean this mess!
Understand, imbecile?!
You're the imbecile!
What's with that costume?
When did you turn into a Nazi stooge?
I... But, sir!
Where do you think you are?
I want you all on cleaning detail!
If anybody's asleep, kick them awake!
And let down that idiot
hanging from the rafters!
If I see anyone messing around,
I'll toss him into the bay!
Where are Watanabe and Sugita?
Sir, they were injured
yesterday when they were jumped...
by several combatants of
the "Bond Society," which had been...
bought out by the "Iron Brigade,"
a radical faction...
of the "Left Wing SV2
Democratisation Front Secretariat."
They put up a good fight,
but took a pounding and were hurt.
They're now sleeping
in the overnight room.
People were hurt?
Who said you could get hurt?!
But I thought...
You don't have personal lives here!
That means you're not
allowed to be sick or get hurt!
Go wake them up!
But that's crazy, sir!
What do you mean, "crazy?"
When I was young, we...
These " Seven Days of Fire,"
the absurd, interminable strife...
which suddenly assaulted the SV2,
ended just as abruptly.
People may find lessons
in conflicts which yielded little,
but if anything is to be learned from
this useless fight, it is to never...
put our faith in higher powers.
They're just as troubled as we are.
Let us pray.
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?
With a " Thank you for your hard work,"
Division 2 finally goes on an R&R trip!
Yes, but our fun night out
takes a turn for the worse,
thanks to the rivalry between
Kanuka and Takeo!
The captain runs off,
nobody can remember the names
of the Four Boy Emissaries of Tensho,
and Ota turns into a crab-eating seal!
We must resort to
desperate measures to get out of this!
Next time!
Versus!
Versus
Versus Target, Locked on!
Versus
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

And so, this unprecedented fight
which involved the entire...
Maintenance Squad soon degenerated
into a fruitless mêlée.
No! Don't!
Surprisingly, despite the fighting
that went on night and day,
the SV2 Maintenance Squad still
managed to fulfil its duties.
However, on the seventh day
after the bonfire incident...
Unable to cope with the rise
in deserters as a result of the fights,
the light in the Maintenance Squad's
office went out...
for the first time
since the founding of the SV2.
That'll be enough of that!
Are you ready to meet your maker,
Buchiyama?
No! I don't want to be
hung upside-down!
Hey, that's Maho Todome, isn't it?
So this is the special promo poster
from her new album...
Yes, it's called
"Blood-red Glasses," sir.
Well, I liked
"My Hot-headed You" better...
C-Chief!
T-Then you don't mind if we
hang it here as a symbol...
of the democratisation
of the Maintenance Squad?
Of course I mind, you moron!
Democratisation, my eye!
If you have time to spout such nonsense,
you have time to clean this mess!
Understand, imbecile?!
You're the imbecile!
What's with that costume?
When did you turn into a Nazi stooge?
I... But, sir!
Where do you think you are?
I want you all on cleaning detail!
If anybody's asleep, kick them awake!
And let down that idiot
hanging from the rafters!
If I see anyone messing around,
I'll toss him into the bay!
Where are Watanabe and Sugita?
Sir, they were injured
yesterday when they were jumped...
by several combatants of
the "Bond Society," which had been...
bought out by the "Iron Brigade,"
a radical faction...
of the "Left Wing SV2
Democratisation Front Secretariat."
They put up a good fight,
but took a pounding and were hurt.
They're now sleeping
in the overnight room.
People were hurt?
Who said you could get hurt?!
But I thought...
You don't have personal lives here!
That means you're not
allowed to be sick or get hurt!
Go wake them up!
But that's crazy, sir!
What do you mean, "crazy?"
When I was young, we...
These " Seven Days of Fire,"
the absurd, interminable strife...
which suddenly assaulted the SV2,
ended just as abruptly.
People may find lessons
in conflicts which yielded little,
but if anything is to be learned from
this useless fight, it is to never...
put our faith in higher powers.
They're just as troubled as we are.
Let us pray.
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?
With a " Thank you for your hard work,"
Division 2 finally goes on an R&R trip!
Yes, but our fun night out
takes a turn for the worse,
thanks to the rivalry between
Kanuka and Takeo!
The captain runs off,
nobody can remember the names
of the Four Boy Emissaries of Tensho,
and Ota turns into a crab-eating seal!
We must resort to
desperate measures to get out of this!
Next time!
Versus!
Versus
Versus Target, Locked on!
Versus
