Patlabor: The New Files (1990–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - VS (Basasu) - 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

Versus

Welcome, members of the SV2's Division 2

My, why is the bath so far away?

We'll freeze.

They wouldn't isolate us in the area...

farthest away from the main building,
would they?

Hiromi!

That's a little short for you, isn't it?



They didn't have one my size.
You look good in yours, though.

Really? You think?

You look like a zashiki-warashi.

What's that?

It looks good on you!
You Hokkaido women can wear anything!

That doesn't sound like a compliment.

A zashiki-warashi is a Legend
in the Tohoku region.

Where's Sergeant Clancy?

She left before I did, so...

Oh. Well, I need to stop by our room,
so I'll catch up later.

Wow, Kumagami and I
have a lot in common.

No, that's not it.

Hey! How about some beer!

Sorry I'm late.

Well, let's get started.

Thanks for a year of hard work,

and let's look forward to another.

With that in mind,
we've prepared this little R&R trip.

Cheers.

Cheers!

Could I have a word?

You forgot something in the bath.

Forgot what?

Your change of, um...

You forgot and left them in the hamper,

so I went ahead and put them
back in your bag in our room.

Why did you do that?

I thought it might be rude,
but I couldn't...

just leave them sitting there, could I?

Thank you for putting away my underwear,

but why didn't you say anything
to me about it?

Opening my bag is an invasion
of my privacy!

I see. I'm sorry.

Who said they wanted some sake?

- Right here!
- Over here!

Allow me.

Um... Thank you.

Look at Ota! He's a nervous wreck!

C-come on!

Why don't you do some work, too?
Show some consideration!

She doesn't have have
to serve you drinks.

She's right.
Any observant person can do this.

Can I pour for you, Sgt. Clancy?

That's all right.

I don't like pouring for others
or having others pour for me.

What?

Keep your voice down!

So what's the matter?

Kumagami and Kanuka, that's what!

They're not getting along
very well, are they?

No.

You're overreacting.

Someone like me, who lived for 4 years,
5 months, and 19 days...

as a company man in a crucible of
personnel, would know!

What was it like in the bath?

What do you mean?

Did you notice anything?

Let me think.

Kanuka's thinner than she looks
when she's dressed,

and Kumagami is kind of boyish.

That's not what I meant!

Well, how should I know?

Anyway, I think we should
try to be careful.

Well, if you and Shinshi say so,
I guess we should.

We don't have these
R&R trips very often.

Yamazaki!

This isn't doing anything for me.
There's a mug over there?

S-Sure.

Try not to overdo it, Ota.

Hey, these kibinago are delicious!

It takes more than a little alcohol to
make me lose control.

Strong or weak, there are limits to
how much alcohol you can handle.

Just as drivers can't escape
the clutches of Newtonian physics,

experience and force of will are
useless against some things.

Don't forget that.

You don't have to take command here, too,
do you?

K-Kanuka!

The sashimi is terrific.

I can't eat raw fish.

Why is being careful not to
drink too much "taking command?"

So you aren't tacitly using your
respective ranks to your advantage?

I wouldn't say that...

Let's have some fun, okay?
We're on our R&R trip!

Right?

Right.

You're right,
but I'd like to hear Ota's opinion.

My opinion, ma'am?

I, um... That is...

Please, have a glass!

Thanks, but I'll pass.

Please, don't say that!
Let me pour for you!

That's all right.

Don't say that!

I'm fine.

Please, allow me!

She says she doesn't want any,
so stop trying to make her drink!

I'll take you up on that.

Are you going to pour?

O-Of course!

Here you go!

This is so good,
I knew I shouldn't have started.

Where are you going?!

The lavatory!

Don't try to run away!

Run away? To where?

This is our R&R trip,
so we're all in this together!

Is that all you think about?

I'm not giving in!

Giving in?

This is the first trip we've had...

since being assigned
to Division 2?

I'm going to have a good time,
if it kills me!

She must really be starved for fun...

The Four Emissaries of Tensho?

Right. I don't have to explain
something as simple...

as the Four Emissaries
of Tensho to you, do I?

Let's see, the Tensho era was
the latter half of the 16th Century.

They were the four boys sent as
emissaries to Portugal and Italy by...

the Jesuits, acting on behalf of
the Christian feudal Lord of Kyushu.

But do you know their names?

Of course.

And I'll tell you.

So then that started,
and now we can't drink!

Why are they talking about that?

At first, they were talking about
the importance of data...

as opposed to on-the-spot
decision making.

But before I knew it, they just started
talking about that.

Mansho Itoh, Miguel Chijiwa, and...
Who was that third one?

Julian Nakaura.

Kumagami tried and tried,
but couldn't come up with the last one.

With Yamazaki sitting there,
it's a touch-and-go situation, but...

I'm in fear for my life, Shinohara.

Captain?

I have to use the loo.

You learned about them in
a Japanese history?

Do you remember
the name of the last one?

There's only one way
to deal with this situation.

Let's drink ourselves silly!

I don't think that's a good idea.

No, it might be better than you think!

Really?

If we get drunk,
we won't be responsible for our actions.

But will they take the hint?

This trip is special?

Let's do it.

There's no need to memorise
every single bit of trivia, is there?

You can get by with looking things up.

What's important is being able to
spot and interpret that data.

In some ways, yes, in other ways, no.

Could you elaborate?

What are you doing?

W-We're having a great time!
Don't worry about us.

That's right, so don't mind us.
Keep talking.

I never did in the first place.

I noticed.

Boy, this is embarrassing.

Come on over here, Shinohara,
and join in on the conversation.

Me?

Sure, come on.
It'll be a good opportunity for you.

Oh, and could someone go
get some more sake?

- Sure!
- Right away!

Shinobu? How's it going in Tokyo?

No, it's no trouble.

Us? Oh, we're having a great time.

I felt bad about it,

so I thought I should at least
call to make small talk.

Oh, let it go.

If you worry about every little thing,
your hair shall turn grey.

Could I have an ash tray, ma'am?

And some really hot tea would
make me a happy man.

A scientist who struggles against papers
in a library is one thing,

but we can't afford
fatal mistakes in our line of work.

The scene of a crime is a living thing.

Rhetorically speaking,
that doesn't strike me...

as such a sound argument
that I should feel ashamed.

I see.

Well?

I'm saying that any information
that can be input...

should be committed to memory
before arriving at the scene.

And the names of the Boy Emissaries
of Tensho fall under the category...

of information that
should be committed to memory?

You're a Japanese woman
working in Japan, aren't you?

True, but...

What's your opinion on this,
Officer Shinohara?

What do you think, Noa?

All that stuff is way over my head,
so I wouldn't know.

Farewell, comrades!

Disgusting.

How sad.

How are you holding up?

For someone who didn't want any,
you've had a lot.

Peter piper picked
a peck of pickled peppers.

Sake goes down a little too well.

Suzy sells seashells by the seashore.

Six selfish shellfish
saved several scallops.

The sick sixth sheik's
sixth sheep's sick.

Six thick thistle sticks.

Imagine an imaginary
menagerie manager...

imagining managing
an imaginary menagerie.

Bold brigadiers badly balance...

broad, bright blades,
blunderbusses, and bludgeons.

Pat's pig, Pete,
poked around the pea patch.

Seventy shaken sailors stood
silently shuddering.

You're good.

You, too.

Really? And then what happened?

You can talk a bit longer, can't you?

You have a dispatch?

I see.

Okay... Work hard, now.

You're a beautiful woman.

Julian Nakamura, Mansho Itoh...

Shut up.

Shut up.

Please, go on.

Julian Nakaura,
Mansho Itoh, Miguel Chijiwa...

Why can't I remember the last one?

This is the kind of problem you run into
if you don't memorise things.

You don't always have access
to a data terminal.

And you know the name of the last one,
I assume?

George Washington, John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson,

James Madison, James Monroe...

Nobody asked you to list
the presidents of the United States.

After March 6th of 1836,
what came to be known...

as the cradle of Texan independence
took place.

The Alamo was packed full
with a volunteer army of 188,

including Davy Crockett,
who fought against the Mexican Army,

which numbered roughly 5000...

Kanuka!

I'm an American.

What's the matter, Hiromi?

I... I...

I'm like Onihitode Ishikaki!

Really? Onihitode Ishigani, you say?

Actually,
I thought you weren't entirely like him,

but I'm glad
that you've finally admitted it.

Not you, Shinshi!

That's right. I'm Onihitode Ishigaki.

It must be tough, indeed.

Because... you know...
Onihito Ishigame always got up early.

Yes. When the skies above Yaiyama
were tinted ultramarine,

Yes indeed, Onehitode Ichigaki's
road was a long, hard one.

Alas! My youth!

That moron.

Ota!

Is there a pond down there?

If there is, he's fine.

Leave him be!

That man has nine lives.

Who was it? Who did that?

Yamazaki! It was you?!

Ota, you're like Azarashi Kanikui...

What?

Sit down, Ota.

Isn't that an order?

Kumagami!

It's common sense.

Oh, I see.

You fell out the window on your own.
Satisfied?

It's wrong for you
to chase after people.

But... But I...

If you're not convinced,
I'll toss you out myself.

When you come back up,
you can chase after me.

You're entitled to that.

It's a draw.

Asuma...

Noa? Can I pick on you?

What are you doing here?
Don't scare me like that!

Captain!

So what's the problem?

Leave me out of it!

Captain!

Hey! Izumi! Calm down! You're drunk!

You're plenty drunk!

I am?

Sure, so rest easy and go to bed.

Yes, sir.

Martin O'Hara!

I finally remembered
the last of the four!

Well done.

You all drank too much.

Were you feeling sick last night, Noa?

We were the only two
who stayed sober the whole night.

Right, just us two.

Stupid R&R trip...

Huh? What was that?

I'm never going on another
one of these stupid R&R trips!

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?
