The AV-98, aka the Ingram patrol labor.
6.02 tons. 8.02 meters high.
SCB powered. SCLM drive system.
Armed and ready for combat with a 37 millimeter revolver and stun baton.
Designed specifically for police use...
to make a psychological impact on the community...
to deter criminals while making the public feel safe.
You must not let go of your dreams
And never turn your gaze away
Yet even still love may cloud up and fade away
And even though you comforted your love
When he was feeling down
Sadness was still weighing down his heavy heart
Hang tight onto your dreams - they're weapons in your arsenal
You'll find that you can get through anything at all
So never cry -you know I will always be watching over you
What I love about you is your strong sense of fairness
So never cry -you know I will always be right there by your side
And so now you can face your future fearlessly
When unit 3 is taken in to Hachioji for an upgrade...
Asuma and Noa's relationship takes a turn for the worse.
Meanwhile, the Self Defense Force stages war games in Oshima.
But a mysterious Labor intrudes on the action.
Captain Goto, sensing a trap, sends Asuma back for unit 3.
The rest of the team heads for Oshima without Asuma.
You're going to have a tough time if you don't get some sleep.
I know.
That's it! Keep going.
Start the diagnostics as soon as the hardware is in place.
Unit 3: Are you ready for refitting?
Any time, sir.
Begin fitting the exterior components.
Yes, sir!
It'll take another two hours.
After that, I can get you to Inatori on a cargo ship...
A cargo ship? Don't tell me my father ordered it.
Asuma, get off it, will you?
An unidentified Labor was spotted this afternoon.
Its purpose is unknown, but it may be dangerous.
All residents must evacuate to the town hall.
I repeat...
The surveillance copter reports that Block 6 is clear.
The question is: Where will it show up?
We aren't authorized to leave the training grounds.
I don't think that'll be problem.
The coast guard is patrolling the area.
HSS won't fight this thing.
But our Labors could lure it onto the training ground for you.
I see.
Sir, the Labor team in Narashino wants permission for an air-drop.
Not yet.
There's no point in dropping until the enemy's mobilized.
The ocean's kind of creepy at night.
- Quit startling me like that! - Let's go home.
- I won't criticize ya. - Go ahead and leave!
All right, I will.
But the boat stays here.
I can't leave it behind!
I'll get you a couple bottles of sake.
Two sakes.
No, thanks!
HSS, unit 2 here. Target spotted.
About to engage...
- How's the pilot? - He's okay.
They've taken him to the hospital.
So it's landed.
But...
Excuse me, I saw the whole thing!
The Labor that inflicted this damage is heading straight for Sashiki!
I have a residual heat signature.
It's advancing at 9 o'clock headed toward Sashiki.
That's what I just finished saying!
Move all the 97's to the south of the training ground.
And alert the HellDiver team.
Roger.
I'm heading back to the port.
The Tokyo Police are coming to assist the Coast Guard.
All right! Straight ahead!
Are you Kiichi Goto?
And you would be...?
Beg your pardon.
I'm a negotiator of sorts, for Holly Security Services' Labor division.
I see.
A negotiator of sorts. Interesting.
- And you're here because...? - I'll show you the coast guard.
Is that one of your regular services?
Actually, I wanted to introduce myself.
How charming; I'm flattered.
Well, I'm afraid we have work to do.
Forgive me for staring.
It's just that you remind me of one of my superiors.
You have a superior like me? You certainly have my sympathy.
- I'd better let you get to work. - Right.
One more thing.
Have you seen this "mystery Labor?"
- No. - Too bad.
I'd sure like to know who built it.
But I guess you can't help me if you haven't seen it.
Sorry I couldn't be of help.
Hiromi, are you okay?
I'm all right, but it still feels like we're on the boat.
What's with the queasy expression?
Buck up!
Easy for you to say; you got some sleep!
And you didn't?
A good policeman can sleep anywhere!
A cop makes endurance priority one and two!
- I dunno what priority three is! - Listen up, people.
We're going to try NOT to engage the enemy.
We have an unspoken agreement with the Self Defense Force.
If we chase it onto their training grounds, theJSDF will handle it.
Okey-dokey?
I can't do that; it's cowardly!
- Can't we just be happy, folks? - Captain!
One question: Who's going to command me in Alphonse?
Do you have any objection to me?
Not at all.
But Mr. Jitsuyama, we won't be able to use machine 3.
Because it'll be useless without an operating disk, you mean.
- No problem! - Shige!
The boss gave this to me.
Mr. Sakaki did?
A genuine copy of Alphonse's data.
You know what that's like.
No, wait; I guess you don't know what that's like.
On the way here, I heard an update on my radio.
They've landed in Oshima, and they expect combat tonight.
Can I make it in time?
You'll manage somehow.
Three minutes to drop zone.
Raven 1 to Raven 2 and 3: Final check.
Where's our signal from the ground team?
Ground team: Come in! Ground team! Ground team!
Unit 2, deck up.
- Ota, get ready to move out. - Roger!
And so it begins.
Captain, what should I do?
Pray that it doesn't come this way.
Pardon?!
Raven 3, are you all right?
Yeah, but my knees are shot. I can't move.
- Raven 2, let's go. - Roger.
Kanuka, beyond this point is theJSDF training grounds.
Do you see any roadblocks? I sure don't.
Neither do I!
Come on guys, the Captain's orders...
To chase it onto the grounds, we have to enter the grounds.
If we surround the enemy, we still have to trespass.
- Yeah, but... - Don't sweat the details.
- Somebody has to! - There's no point in worrying.
Come in HQ!
A police Labor has entered the training grounds!
Here it comes!
Where's he hiding?
Keep moving!
You can't beat his weapon; you have to move into close range!
I can handle this!
I don't need a monitor!
No good!
Gonna try the same trick again?!
Go ahead; just try it!
Surrender!
Ota's pretty good.
This is Ota's second try. He has to use his brain sometime.
Didn't our opponent learn from last time too?
Those are the exact moves that unit 1 used.
You...
Ota!
Over there!
Ota!
Ota! Ota!
Wake up! Ota!
They're using the beam weapon we saw at Tokyo Teleport.
It's definitely the same people.
Well, Ota's out of the action for now.
I suppose I should be glad he's safe.
Don't forget to hand in his operating disk.
Roger.
Captain, how long do I have to sit here?
You bored?
That's not what I meant.
Wait a little longer.
For what?
For many things.
I must have it.
It'd be a gold mine if I could get my hands on unit 1 's operating data.
Can the Phantom close with unit 1?
Unit 1 is near civilians; it's too risky.
Besides, it's almost dawn.
I don't care. That data is more than worth it.
Captain, the training grounds end here.
I know.
- We can't advance... - Silence!
He's here!
Where is he?
Sooner than I expected.
Calm down, Izumi. He's trying to draw you out.
Don't move an inch, got it?!
But sir...!
There'll be hell to pay!
Just follow orders.
Aim for the central head lens.
Captain, they need my help!
Wait, Izumi!
I swear, she has no patience.
Are you certain?
Positive. There was definitely a second Labor.
I'm sure of it.
Now!
We've lost the data feed!
Recall the Phantom. Send backup!
You saved me again.
Just returning the favor.
- I'll get him! - Wait!
Another Labor's there with a gun. Be careful.
Roger!
Division 2 is lucky to have her.
Kanuka!
Did you find it?
You can't pull that again!
Creep!
You're sure it was a 42mm shell?
Yes. I think it's from the Saturn's auto-cannon.
The security company!
A Labor with a gun...? It can't be!
Did I miss anything, Noa?
Asuma!
Noa, catch!
This'll finish him off!
- I did it! - Look out!
Asuma...
Thank you.
You goof.
We've lost the Phantom's signal. It might've been destroyed.
Take us out of here.
That was quite the little performance.
Izumi, think you can shoot down that helicopter?
Just kidding. Get it?
HSS says they've never employed anyone named Kurosaki.
I figured as much.
So you don't think this case is closed yet?
It is for them.
Gimme a break!
Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue
If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight
I know I can do it, if only just once
Pulled into my dream I find that I wake up
Drenched in sweat and feeling lonely
I turn off the TV I've been listening to
Tomorrow I will spend the whole day
In the city of my dreams, amidst the old dust
I want to feel the main street beneath my feet soon
I plan to always look on the brighter side
Keep my chin up, look to the future
After all, there's only one path I can travel
Just hold me tightly, Midnight Blue
If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight
I know I can do it, if only just once
If I can make it to the bus stop by midnight
I know I can do it, if only just once
This story is fiction... but in 10 years, who knows?
The ways of the mafia world can't be helped.
Please don't try and stop me sister.
In the midst of falling sakura blossoms...
the hands grasping the lever are crying.
The dons ofJapan?
A mafia boss runs off with a collection of labors.
Oh, the tattoo on this labor is beautiful. It's amazing.
Next time, "Flowers and Labors." Target, locked on!
