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
You have to exercise caution in rain and bad weather...
where poor footing compounds decrease visibility.
Even in normal weather, fog and gusts of wind can affect...
uh, affect the situation. Uh...
The wind, uh, and fog...
Who's that guy? Japanese Mafia?
Shh! He'll hear you!
Hey, button it up. I'm trying to listen here.
Go ahead, teacher.
Yes, uh, thank you.
To continue...
We will now demonstrate proper transport of materials.
The horizontal carry.
The vertical carry.
Above the head.
When carrying over the shoulder, be extra careful during turns.
Don't rely on your monitor; use your eyes as well.
That concludes today's safety training.
Thank you very much.
Hey, girlie.
Girlie?
Nice little machine you got there. How's it work?
Is it one of those voice activated jobs?
No, there's a pilot on board.
Well look at that! The pilot's a dame!
Not in a million years did I expect to see that.
Well, see you!
They aren't ready for you to board yet.
Roger.
No one looks like that.
They were yakuza straight out of a gangster movie.
And why would movie gangsters attend a safety course?
Better yet, why would they need Labors?
You can't stereotype people.
Hi, toots!
Hello.
See!
What's on the ticket today?
We're moving the Labor out.
Right. Last time was just a dry run, but this is the real McCoy.
Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.
My card. The pleasure's all mine.
"Hanafuji Group, Leader Naoya Fujioka."
Give me a ring if you ever find yourself in trouble.
Oh, but you're the cops!
I guess we're in what you'd call the same business.
Well, you've probably got things to do.
I'll watch from over there. Good luck!
This looks like trouble.
I told you so!
Well, I can only think of one thing...
They want to use labors as weapons.
You let criminals into your presentation?
I'd have given them six inches of my boot!
Labors are allowed to carry weapons.
And anyone is legally entitled to own a Labor.
A recipe for disaster.
He seemed like such a nice old guy.
Bye!
Night!
What are you up to tomorrow?
I have to pack for my trip home.
Get back!
Hey, it's the dames!
Welcome home.
Is he here?
No, he postponed things until tomorrow.
I smell a trap.
Oh, well. Show them the layout.
I'll join you soon.
This way.
This is it.
Sweet setup, isn't it?
The 98-AV Ingram was a bit out of my price range.
You cops can afford them of course.
I should be getting in a German model tomorrow.
I'm thinking of getting an Italian job too.
What will you do with all these Labors?
It's my collection.
- Collection?! - Yup.
I used to collectJapanese swords and classic cars.
Labors are lots classier than that junk!
It'll take a while to collect them all, but it's worth it.
You use them for digging and moving cargo, don't you?
That's what they're made for!
Hey, the manuals are all about three feet thick!
They're impossible to read, so nobody here can drive the Labors!
But the manuals make great book ends!
- It's not funny! - No, sir!
Wow! Noa, what did you DO for this?
I just told him how to activate the default settings.
- YOU did? - Kanuka explained most of it.
Is it all right to accept this gift?
Wait!
They might be trying to pry secret information out of us!
Don't worry.
If they can't even master the default settings...
they wouldn't know what to do with advanced information from us.
How splendid!
Captain! We as policemen...
It'll go bad if we don't eat it soon.
But, sir, this is...
- He's right; let's dig in. - Hey!
- Sounds good! - Hey, you guys!
Keep talking; it leaves more for us.
The entire team is responsible for proper conduct!
Dibs on the cucumber rolls!
Think we care?!
Hello, Second Section here.
One moment, please.
Izumi speaking.
We wanted to thank you for your help.
Oh, you're from the Hanafuji Group.
Oh, it's nothing; simply an expression of gratitude.
The boss has been practicing since you left.
He'd like to show you his progress.
Look what I can do!
We don't want to bother you.
But we'd appreciate it if you could give us a few pointers.
Let's go! Bring the car around!
Does he think this is a rice field?
How was that? Anything I should work on?
You need to learn to move both of your feet at once.
If you can't do that, you'll trip.
I see!
But you show good aptitude; you'll improve with practice.
Really?
Boss.
What, is it that time already?
Sorry I've got a meeting and I have to be off.
Maybe I could drop in on you later.
Certainly, as long as we're not busy.
Was it wise to tell him that?
He did give us a gift; I couldn't help myself.
This concludes our meeting.
I'd like to thank the leaders of Hanafuji and Daina for coming.
- Good evening! - Welcome!
So, are you still working on your collection?
Yeah, I finally picked up that beauty of a sword.
The Mitsumasa blade?
You had your eye on the sword too, didn't you?
Well, the race goes to the swift.
I hope you're not too disappointed.
Not at all; not a jealous bone in me.
I couldn't be happier.
Labors, my old friend.
That's where the action is, not in old swords and relics!
That's what you should be collecting!
It sounds like you already have quite a few.
My collection is the biggest in Japan.
Perhaps in the top 5 in the whole world.
In that case, you'll have to show me sometime.
Of course, any time.
And my latest is the crown jewel; I'll show you it.
A German multi-use Labor: The Graubear.
I'm the first man to purchase one for personal use.
Cost me a pretty penny, but it was worth it.
Yeah, that's pretty good. I have to admit, I'm impressed.
Word on the street is that you just bought a Labor too.
Yeah, but it's not my thing to collect so many like you do.
I Just own one.
Oh yeah? You'll have to show it to me.
Here it is.
It may not be much to look at.
That's...!
It's a Graubear, heavily customized.
It's five times the cost of the regular model.
But it's the only one of its kind in the world.
Even a hick can buy labors with enough cash.
The most important thing is to spend the time to perfect it.
Boss, it's time for your practice.
Yeah, I'm coming.
I never should have showed him. Daina outdid me again!
And I had finally learned how to skip in it too!
You can't give up, boss. After all you're still a better pilot.
You're right! Goto said I had aptitude!
There's still a way I can outdo Daina!
Hello?
Oh, nice to hear from you. Yes, we're all fine.
One moment, please. Izumi, it's Fujioka.
Hello?
Hey, long time, no talk.
I have a little favor to ask you.
What is it? Did you get a system error?
Nope, nothing like that.
I want to work for Special Vehicles, Second Section.
I won't use money on you. None of that mafia things.
I'm thinking I ought to be helping out in my local neighborhood.
That's certainly a nice thought, but...
All 1,500 members of the Hanafuji Group would be at your disposal.
That's not really the point...
305 in sector 4! Division 2: Mobilize.
Sorry, I'll have to call you back.
What took ya so long?! I've been waiting 30 minutes!
Why are you here?
Like they say, "it takes a thief."
I just happened to be listening to my police scanner.
Seems there was trouble between these two Labors, but I took care of it.
From now on, you won't have to handle this sort of trouble.
Just leave it to me!
Oh, man!
In honor of the timely assistance of Mr. Naoya Fujioka.
Isn't this like putting out a fire with gasoline?
The chief will be on guard from now on.
But we're the ones who encouraged Fujioka.
But what'll we do if he decides he likes this and keeps it up?
Yes, what will we do?
My! It says "Official Commendation!"
Oh, it's nothing.
You see, Daina...
a Labor isn't worth squat if you can't use it.
It could cost a fortune...
but if you don't know how to use it, it's a joke!
Mr. Fujioka, you're so incredible!
I think I'm falling in love!
If I'm ever in danger, will you save me?
Of course I will, darling! I'll be there for ya!
I need some wire taps! Get on it!
Two can play at this game!
Sector 1: 501 in progress in Chiyoda.
Criminal is fleeing in a stolen Labor.
Mobilize unit 1 in Second Section, Division 2.
Boss, it's in Chiyoda!
Which one is unit 1?
I'm pretty sure it's Izumi's.
Perfect!
Don't worry, Izumi, Fujioka is on his way!
He won't outdo me! Hurry!
Freeze!
Hold it!
The criminal is fleeing toward Shibuya.
What's this?
The stolen Labor is now fighting two other Labors in Yotsuya!
The pilots of the two new Labors are unknown.
Investigating!
You don't suppose that would be...
Don't say any more, Hiromi!
Out of my way! This is your last warning!
I saw him first! I wish you'd butt out!
I'm getting pretty sick of looking at your ugly mug!
You need a reality check.
I have speed and intuitive talent on my side; you have squat.
That's it! You're going down!
Don't move an inch, bozo!
I'll deal with you later! Stay put, loser!
Stop this!
Izumi!
Just what do you think you're doing here?
Your actions prove that you're unfit for this line of duty!
You aren't heroes; you're the criminals!
You're in no position to judge other people!
If you continue this further you'll have to answer to me!
I'm glad they calmed down.
Maybe I was too harsh.
Who's calling at this hour?
Second Section.
Izumi... thank goodness! We've got trouble!
Boss, don't do it!
Let go! There IS honor among thieves!
It's the boss!
Asuma! Asuma!
Bring Alphonse! It's a turf war!
Fear me, Fujioka!
I don't even fear a raging fire. You're a dead man.
I seriously doubt it!
Where's Fujioka?
- He's in a Labor fighting Daina. - What?!
You've gotta get out of here!
Asuma, hurry!
Noa! What's going on?
Kanuka?
Let's put a halt to foolishness.
Knock it off!
This time he's gone too far! I'm going to cut him up!
Over my dead body!
Butt out!
- I got her! - Why, you!
Why can't you settle down...
and talk this out between yourselves?!
- Miss! - No excuses!
Labor operating disks?
All of mine and Daina's. Do what you want with them.
ALL the Labors?
I'll let you people operate Labors; they're too dangerous.
A regular life of crime is much safer.
I've had my fill of danger for a while.
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?
Kanuka finished six months training, and she's turning in her uniform.
We planned a farewell surprise party for Kanuka...
so we hid out in her apartment.
That's where we found Kanuka's training report.
She gave perfect marks to everyone including Captain Goto.
It can't hurt to look if she doesn't find out.
That's not right! Don't you guys ever look at mine!
Next time, "Kanuka's Report." Target, locked on!
