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
Tragedy in the Rain
Tokyo International Labor Show
That looks dangerous. Can you see anything?
There's a Type 7.
Makes sense. It's probably guarding the Labors.
Why?
You need a Labor to prevent Labor theft.
Come on down. We can go inside after lunch.
What's the rush? We're on duty for the entire show.
What's the big idea with all these half-naked women?
A little glitter never hurts.
What if terrorists sent in a bomb threat?
Then it's our headache.
I think the girls are great!
Sucker!
They're just window-dressing!
The larger construction Labors utilize linear motors...
but a look at the actuator reveals...
Sounds like they know what they're talking about.
I still don't like it.
That was good!
Ota and Shinshi are late.
We're back.
Izumi!
Answer quick: What's a linear actuator?
It's the drive unit for the Ingram joints and limbs.
What are its advantages?
Uh...
Back to the books! Even the swimsuit models know that!
See anything interesting?
The economy model's on display.
It's different from the picture.
This is the prototype.
Doesn't look too bad.
You can't tell anything from the exterior.
Hey, you!
So this mass-produced model is a match for the regular Ingram?
It's ugly!
How good is it, really?
I want concrete answers!
Can it handle a Type 7, which is in the same weight class?
Yeah! If it can't do that, we can't use it!
It's ugly!
So you two really are an Ingram team?
I know we don't look like it.
I'd like to see how good you really are.
Oh, just a bad joke!
Are you better at the game now?
I made it to Level 6!
That's all? You're no match for me!
I bet I can beat you in a real Labor.
Bud!
Sorry, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Kids say the darndest things.
Hey, you two!
Wear your earplugs! What if there was an emergency broadcast?
We'll see them again soon enough. Let's go.
You know them?
Sort of.
Don't go to the convention too often.
I have to memorize the layout. Why can't we do it today?
Be patient.
But I want to take all the Labors at the same time!
We don't want destruction; we're after the Ingram movement data.
There's no need to disturb the general public.
Our target audience will definitely see the show.
Labor Show Day 3
Final day discount!
Damn! The last day, and no action!
Ota!
I guess we showed up for nothing.
I wouldn't be too sure of that yet.
There are an awful lot of human-form Labors this year.
It doesn't really help for construction, but it sells well.
The future looks frightening.
I'm more worried about the present.
More divisions means they need new Labors.
Don't you see?
Of course I do. But if they want to swap out the Ingram...
they have to convince me that their new machines are better.
What proof do you need?
The best way is to watch it at work.
You're right. We need to see it in action.
Asuma, even as a personal request...
Nothing big. I just want to take it for a walk.
Won't you get in trouble for this? You're on duty.
Don't worry about me.
So? Is itjust a lot of hype?
How can you say that?
Noa, I'm gonna do it!
I'm borrowing your movement disk.
What are you doing?
I'm going to check out the economy model!
Don't put any bad data on Alphonse's disk!
Do you understand the layout?
It looks a lot like an Ingram.
Cheap monitor.
I wish they'd made the cockpit airtight.
Asuma, don't be too rough on it.
It's supposed to be made for rough conditions.
The ride's not too bad.
Look what Shinohara's up to!
Giving a last-minute demo!
Well that wasn't our intention.
Three months salary reduction!
Look at this! Shinohara is using their mass-produced unit.
We'll be able to test it, too.
We'll begin soon.
Roger. Bringing the Griffin around to Point A.
Bud, you're up.
What? Shinohara decided to test out the economy model?
It's unauthorized! He's deserting his post!
The Captain may let him get away with this, but I won't!
I won't let him get away with it.
Of course not! But Shinohara isn't taking his duties seriously!
Is three months salary reduction enough?
We'll have to talk about it.
He did leave his post,
but we need to test the economy model.
It's a bonus for the force.
Softy!
But isn't this really bad for Division 2's reputation?
It's not that bad.
Don't worry, Yamazaki! I'll save our reputation!
I'll put a halt to Shinohara's selfishness... whatever it takes!
Whatever it takes?
Just watch! I'll put a halt to this!
How is that going to make things better?
Do something.
I'll get the command car.
And there it is!
The players are all on stage.
Hey, Ota! What's up?
Listen, Shinohara!
Leave that machine immediately,
or I'm going to have to pull you out!
Is that officer one of yours?
Yes.
Oh, drat! If I'd only kept quiet, you wouldn't have known.
Captain, aren't you going to stop this?
I order you to exit!
You can't reason with Ota until you've pinned him to the mat.
You want a piece of me?
Are you threatening me?
Nanny-nanny boo-boo!
He does a pretty good nanny-nanny boo-boo.
Do you know who you're talking to?
Yeah, that's why I dare you!
You'll pay for that!
They're really going to fight!
Salary reduction: Six months.
What the hell are you doing?
Sorry, I was in a hurry. I have to set up for the next exhibition.
The next show doesn't set up until tomorrow!
What's this?
Gas! Everyone get back!
The next show starts right now!
Why, you!
Be careful!
Now, Bud.
What is this?
Call Division 1 for backup. Hurry!
Lzumi, mobilize machine 1. Hurry!
Roger.
Asuma's using my movement disk!
Hold it right there.
Stop now, or you'll have to face me!
Shinohara, that's no ordinary Labor! Pull back, you amateur!
Amateur? I had the same training you did!
Here I come!
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!
What? The whole lower half of this Labor is shaking!
He's fast!
This looks bad.
Did you see that? It moves like a living thing!
Hiromi, get me as close as possible in the command car!
Wait, lzumi. What are you planning?
I have to save Asuma and get my movement disk back!
You'll be crushed.
But without it, machine 1 can't move!
Wait for Division 1 to get here.
Besides, how are you going to rescue Asuma from that?
Mr. Utsumi, this one isn't much of a challenge.
I'm not impressed with Shinohara's latest offering.
Bud, forget that piece ofjunk. We want the Ingram's disk.
You'll regret this!
Ota, you idiot!
You... you... you... idiot!
I told you to stay out of my way!
I'm going!
Take that!
Bud, stop playing and finish him off.
Asuma!
Here's your disk.
It's not as bad as it looks.
This Labor couldn't keep up with your programmed movements.
But machine 1 can do it.
Mr. Utsumi, I've defeated the Ingram.
Then hurry and open the hatch.
Chief, the smoke!
We've come this far. Another minute won't matter.
Damn you!
You can still move?
Don't worry, lzumi. Asuma's injuries aren't serious.
But Ota's in trouble. Help him out.
Division 1 sure is late.
You're under arrest for reckless endangerment,
destruction of property and assault! Freeze!
There was another Ingram?
Chief, the rain has destroyed our smoke screen.
Sorry, Bud. Time to withdraw.
At least we've gained some valuable data for the Griffin.
This area is dangerous. Please evacuate.
Richard Wong!
You fool! Why did you shoot?
Sorry, Sir. She got too close.
And she recognized you from your days in Hong Kong.
Bud, things just went wrong in a big way. Withdraw immediately.
If you won't come at me, then I'll come at you.
What?
I could have beaten you!
It's a nightmare...
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?
Division 2 is cut to less than half! Then we get notice that the Griffon...
just crashed into the mountains near Chiba.
There are shadows of Utsumi behind this mess, I can just feel it.
To keep this corruption from coming to the surface,
Shaft Security Systems is being brought in to clean up the mess.
Now a mysterious stranger from abroad appears to take on Shaft!
