The AV-98, aka the Ingram patrol labor.

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
I'm grateful for all your help.
Think your training here was worthwhile?
Yes, definitely.
We'll have to have a farewell party for you.
Please don't; I'll say goodbye to everyone.
I'm no good at dealing with mushy Japanese sentimentality.
Besides, I still need to finish my report.
- Oh. - I'll be off, then.
I wasn't here long, but I truly am indebted.
No good at sentimentality?
Foreigners are so reserved.
Maybe she just doesn't want to appear weak.
Even now that she's leaving.
Reminds me of someone else I know.
We will conduct a Labor combat tournament.
The results will determine your positions within our Pat Division...
so do your best.
Any questions?
Yes! Over here!
All in good time.
Captain!
I know, you don't have to say it.
I'm Lieutenant Kanuka Clancy, of the New York City Police.
I've come to Japan for advanced training.
Pleased to meet you.
New York?
- All rise! - Why, what's going on?
Pay your respects to the police lieutenant!
Ota, don't get your shorts in a knot.
But, Captain!
People, the time has come!
Prepare to commence Plan 908!
Right!
Officer Izumi, hitting the trail!
They're up to something again.
I figured they might be, but...
What?
I have a bad feeling about this.
Now, I will announce your positions in the Pat Division.
Number one Forward Ingram Pilot: Officer Noa Izumi.
Number one Backup, command car: Officer Asuma Shinohara.
Number one Labor carrier: Officer: Hiromi Yamazaki.
Number two Forward, Ingram pilot: Officer Isao Ota.
Backup, command car: Lieutenant Kanuka Clancy.
Labor carrier: Officer Mikiyasu Shinshi.
That is all.
Ota, any idea why I chose you as the forward?
Yes, Sir!
Because I can't give orders to Lieutenant Clancy!
Wrong!
It's because I'll only be here for six months.
And you shouldn't adapt the Ingram to temporary staff.
Six months, huh...
It'll be an interesting six months.
Noa here. The subject has entered a department store.
- Over. - Roger.
Stay on her trail, Izumi.
No luck?
Isn't this against the law?
Only criminals can commit crimes!
There's an interesting theory.
What's your problem? We're the police!
Sorry to disturb you. We'll be done soon.
You're so slow that you've disturbed this taxpayer!
Stand back and learn!
No, you've gotta be more gentle!
Locks are so fragile these days.
Sorry! We'll fix it later!
Don't draw it out any longer than you have to!
Use your gun and shoot his legs out.
I can handle this my way!
I ordered you to fire!
The Labor didn't do anything wrong!
His pilot was the problem!
You're too lenient!
You aren't authorized to ignore orders from the command car!
That's enough. Give it a rest, ladies.
But, Captain!
Enough. Both of you write up reports.
Have them on my desk today.
Ota, calm down!
Ota!
Yamazaki, get out of my way if you don't wanna get shot!
You don't have the guts to fire!
We'll see about that!
Stop it!
Homework. Have them on my desk first thing.
Yes, Sir!
How's everything looking?
Pretty good, I'd say!
Yeah, not bad!
"Kanuka Clancy's Farewell Party."
Good work!
Mission accomplished!
Let's crack a beer!
Shouldn't we wait for Kanuka?
No problem, as long as we don't touch the cake.
I'm for that.
Hey, look at this.
What's up?
What is it?
"Training Report: Special Vehicles, Section 2."
This is the report Kanuka's submitting in New York.
It's in English. What's it say?
"PatLabor Division 2 consists of several unique characters."
It's the captain!
"When he was with the Metropolitan Police Department...
he was called 'Razor Sharp Goto.'
He was on the fast track until he left to run Division 2."
Come and face me, Goto!
It's Judgment Day, my friend!
Come quietly, Goto!
Don't go, Captain. It's too dangerous!
Captain!
Goto!
Chew on this!
Everyone's against me! Don't move an inch!
I'll get you this time! I'll get you!
It took a lot of guts to face him down like that.
Oh, that.
Well, Sakaki had told me their Labor was completely harmless.
He could tell that?
Guess so.
You're impossible.
What will your adoring fans say?
Who knows?
That cheater!
"As the Japanese say, he's, 'Useless as a lamp in broad daylight.'
And whether or not he's as sharp as a razor, is yet to be determined."
Hey, does she mention me?
"A true Japanese policeman."
Or maybe, "the world's only one-man army of justice!"
Hold your horses.
Hey, don't look!
No probs; we're just having fun.
"Officer Mikiyasu Shinshi.
He left a trading firm to serve as a police officer.
The only married man in Division 2."
Bow!
Ready to give in yet?
You cheated! You coward!
Whatever it takes to win!
So you think this is funny?
What do you think is so funny?
Stop! Bow first and start all over!
What's so funny?
Uncle!
Funny now? Funny now?
Are you trying to kill me?
Officer Shinshi, you're disqualified!
"He's what they call in Japan a 'backfire."'
Who's next?
Let's stop this.
Quitting now?
You make a fool of me, then want to quit?
Asuma's up next!
"Asuma Shinohara's father founded Shinohara Industries...
developer and manufacturer of Labors.
Asuma joined Division 2 after a falling out with his father."
What do you think?
This one is extremely popular.
You're kidding!
Well, don't read my section!
Easier said! Shinshi's drunk and I can't stop him!
Crap!
Kanuka Clancy... Kanuka Clancy...
Apartment 302!
C'mon! C'mon!
Uh, hello.
You're just in time; we're about to read your file!
Oh, really?
"Officer Noa Izumi, pilot of Ingram unit 1."
Noa Izumi reporting for duty with the Patrol Labors!
Give me back my PatLabor!
I won't let you get away!
I did it!
Ah, the smell of a new car!
Alphonse.
This is a dream come true!
"She's emotionally attached to a mare tool with the various mechanisms.
She lavishes affection on her Labor as if it were a favorite pet.
There's a fine line between her hobby and her work...
and between whether she's happy or miserable."
Is that supposed to be praise or an insult?
Neither.
She wrote that because you're such a slip-shod officer!
Oh, look! Hiromi's next!
"Insufficient data."
That's why I told you to skip ahead to me!
Okay, here you are!
"Officer Isao Ota, pilot of unit 2.
Excessively violent, but a better marksman than Izumi.
On the other hand..."
I'll blow you away!
My gun! Where's my gun?
- Ota, watch your left! - The left!
Ammo!
You don't have any extra ammo!
What's with the lousy aim?
We don't have any more ammunition, thanks to you!
Then I'll use brute force!
"It is a miracle that...
this man was ever allowed to join the police.
He's an armed lunatic, a walking powder keg...
and a stubborn fool.
But whatever else he may be called...
he might best be described as...
a psycho cop."
That's preposterous!
You broke it!
Kanuka's going to be mad when she gets back!
- What'll we do? - Run away!
Why us? You're the one that broke it, Ota.
She's not gonna care about the little details!
Clean this mess if you value your lives!
We have to wipe off the prints!
- Gimme a break. - This is definitely a crime.
This is terrible!
What's wrong?
Some suspicious men like this broke into your apart...
Don't worry, I'll handle it.
The lock's been forced. It must be terrorists!
Hold it!
H-H-Hello? Is this the police?
Breaking and entering! Property destruction!
Invasion of privacy!
You call yourselves cops?
Well, actually...
Save your excuses! Get out!
Thanks for your hospitality!
Terrorist bombers at Officer Clancy's apartment?
No, I won't need any backup.
I'm sure we can handle it.
Yes, right. I understand.
So your concern was justified?
Yup.
"Reports" I'm gonna need more of these.
So you're an armed lunatic and a walking powder keg...
but isn't it about time to mellow out?
Shut up!
You wanted to read it too! And you too!
What, you're blaming it on me?
It's not my fault!
Let's just drop it. Man, what a horrible farewell party.
Well, you were supposed to be TRAILING her!
That's right! It's YOUR fault!
Now who's calling the kettle black, Ota?
You're the one who went nuts on the computer!
In conclusion:
Division 2 is composed of truly unique officers.
Creative, audacious, impulsive...
daring, impudent, disrespectful...
reckless, destructive, arrogant...
thoughtless, short-tempered!
That covers the major flaws in their organization.
However, their performance far exceeds my original expectations.
In short, their qualities can be summed up as...
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?
We watch as Kanuka boards a jet, bound for home.
But a strange criminal, Nekowatari, hijacks the plane.
What are his demands?
And what does Kanuka's message to Air Traffic Control mean?
Kanuka, don't say goodbye.
Hijacking at the New Tokyo Airport.
Coming next, "Farewell, Kanuka."
Target: Locked on!
