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
The black giant has landed.
Alphonse was given a riot gun to use against the Griffin...
but Noa couldn't fire it because of civilian bystanders.
Then Three-S tried to eliminate the evidence against Shaft...
by placing explosives on the Griffin's back.
But the charges were set off prematurely.
The shock of the blast caused Noa to black out briefly...
but Asuma and the team woke her in time.
And now, the Griffin is advancing again!
The Fall of Griffin!
You lose!
The only loser here -
IS YOU!
Counterattack! Go, Noa!
Step out of your machine!
It can't be!
Chief! I'm glad you're safe.
This is all thanks to Three-S.
What's wrong?
That sound coming from the Griffin...
It isn't supposed to sound like that.
I'll find out what's happening.
Yes, I hear it, too. It definitely isn't normal.
Anyway, what's going on? I thought I heard an explosion.
I won't be held responsible for this!
The explosion damaged it. It was that damned Three-S!
Let go!
I'll never let go.
A little higher. Good, don't move!
Careful, Yamazaki, the cylinder's going to rotate.
Yes, right!
Come on -
Damn! He got my main monitor!
Yamazaki!
Even in your Ingram you wouldn't have hit him.
Shut up!
Are you okay?
I'll be fine, but we won't be able to fire another shot.
My monitor's out.
Don't let go, Noa! You're blind. You'll never catch him again!
My ribs!
That's why I told you to stay home and rest.
I couldn't do that!
You must have heard that. Can you keep going?
I want to run away.
But you know you can't.
Noa, to your right!
Here?
Why you!
I don't believe it.
It's like two children fighting.
Mr. Sakaki, how much power is left in the Ingram?
No more than a few minutes.
Noa, shut down all unnecessary systems.
Main monitor off; sensor 3, no good.
This can't be happening!
Right manipulator gone. Shutting it down.
My Griffin's being destroyed! It's not fair!
Power train - still good. One more run should stop him.
You can do it, Alphonse!
Machine 1 first, move in to reinforce.
Bud, time to go.
Chief!
Bud, that's enough. Time to escape.
What?
Luck wasn't with us. The Griffin isn't looking too good.
It's no longer a fair fight.
No, no!
The fight has sunk to a new low!
The Labors are now engaged in a slugfest!
This is terrible! It's unbelievable!
Ridiculous!
Why you!
Out of my way!
Bud Renard Harchand, be a good boy. It's time to go.
Do you want the police to catch you?
We have to abandon Bud.
The Griffin's been trashed, and if we don't escape soon...
the police will close in on us.
We have to abandon Bud and the Griffin, and get you to safety.
Kurosaki!
If you survive, Planning Division 7 will live again.
I'll never let go.
I think Bud's finally ready to go.
We should be leaving, too.
What happened?
He detached his arm!
That machine has all sorts of tricks.
That seems to be its trademark.
The hatch won't open!
Noa, 11 o'clock!
You won't get away!
This doesn't mean that I lost!
He doesn't have enough speed! He's going to crash into the bay.
Who are you calling?
I'm going to ask the Far East Manager to pick up Bud.
I can't gain altitude! I'm going to crash!
That's a bad sign. Motor tension is dropping as the battery fades.
Noa!
What's the matter?
Are you hurt?
He got...
He got away. After all I did.
This Ingram is one solid machine.
The economy model I used in Haruumi just fell apart.
I really wanted to run away...
but I stayed and fought.
Remember how brave you were today and you'll always put up a good fight.
I don't want a good fight.
I guess you're right. There's no such thing as a good fight.
How's lzumi?
Give her a few minutes.
That girl infuriates me. She had that great gun -
I know how you feel, but you didn't do the fighting. She did.
But...
Ota, Yamazaki, thanks to you, lzumi wasn't crushed.
Good work.
Captain, I would have...
Everyone has his own style. That's how it is...
Sorry about this.
It'll cost plenty in overtime pay.
We'll have to send this one back to the factory, too.
Carefully, please! Carefully!
You know something?
I think you've changed.
Have I?
To be honest, I never thought you'd get this far.
Neither did I.
There he is!
Positive ID: Bud Renard Harchand. Prepare to retrieve.
Hello?
Utsumi here! I hope you weren't stuck in that office all night long!
Damn you! This is all your doing! But what now?
What should I do?
Where's the Griffin?
Answer me, Utsumi!
Calm down. Bud Renard escaped...
and the Griffin's now at the bottom of Tokyo Bay.
By the way, I'll be coming in to the office today.
I'll arrange for Three-S to handle a few minor details.
Colonel, I've left a few observers.
All other teams have completed withdrawal.
I've just heard from the Chairman.
The Chairman?
Utsumi is still a valuable asset. We are to leave him alone.
Then what was the point of this debacle?
We have our orders. "Theirs not to reason why..."
Planning Division 7 must be pretty damned important.
Miss lzumi, we're here.
Miss lzumi?
Where's Asuma?
He forgot his medicine, so he's stopping off at the dorm to pick it up.
Mr. Sakaki offered to swing him by in his car.
It wouldn't be so bad, if you'd behaved yourself.
Ouch!
I hope he'll be all right.
He's young. He'll recover.
Today we're going to start a test drive.
Let's check the power train first. Start charging the battery.
Charging battery.
Thanks to Alphonse, I didn't get a scratch.
The Ingram is an amazing machine.
Shige, you can fix him, can't you?
Compared to Ota's machine, this one's barely scratched.
The backbone's still okay, and it could move if we had power.
It'll be as good as new in no time.
Thank you so much.
Leave it to us.
Something should have been done about Three-S and Shaft!
Ota, if you have something to say, spit it out!
How can we leave before the job's done?
We let our opponents just walk away!
We've lost every single Labor. What could we do?
But Kanuka stayed behind, and she's still working!
Kanuka's job is different. She's investigating for the NYPD.
So what exactly IS ourjob?
The mobile police handles the crisis.
The detectives handle the cleanup. It's time to rest.
You hear me, Ota?
In only three days, Division 2 has been wiped out.
I'm getting a headache just about how to rebuild.
Then what can I do?
You can go back to the dorm and sleep. I'm tired, too.
Miss lzumi, I can drop you off at the dorm. It's on my way.
Thanks, but I don't want to leave my bike behind.
I'll just take a nap in the duty room.
Take care.
You too. Hurry home.
I'm sure your wife will be relieved to see you.
Oh, she's probably asleep by now.
Hello, Michiko? Oh, were you still asleep? I'm sorry.
No, it's nothing, really, but did you see the news yesterday?
Special Vehicles fought the Black Labor!
They even had a shot of my husband Miki, right there on TV!
You missed it? He was amazing! I could copy it for you!
The fight has sunk to a new low!
No, it's no problem! Bye!
Let's see... I'd better call Mama next! Oh, there's so much to do!
Geez, why do I have to wear this?
But it looks good on you!
That was a low blow!
We're still in danger. Grin and bear it until we're out of Japan.
Good, I made it in time.
Shinohara and lzumi wanted to come...
but the Ingram repairs are nearly finished.
Are you sure you can afford the time, Captain?
Didn't they locate a section of the Black Labor?
You're remarkably well informed.
Mr. Sakaki is checking into it. It's rather strange.
Strange?
Every Labor has dozens of telltale clues to its manufacturer.
For example, the Ingram differs from all other Shinohara Labors...
But the auto-balance unit tags it as a Shinohara make.
Exactly. But the Black Labor lacks any such features.
So it wasn'tjust an existing model in disguise.
Exactly.
And how did your investigation go?
Three-S is now claiming to be the victim, since they lost Labors.
I tell you, if this had happened in America...
Then I would have been a lot happier!
I'm sure we'll meet again.
Take care.
Keep quiet!
Excuse me...
Could I trouble you for a light?
Light? You are meaning "fire?"
Yes, please.
Please to take candy, instead.
Candy?
Candy is better for health than tobacco.
Odd. I thought I smelled smoke on you.
Tobacco?
I smelled fire.
Regrettably, little can be done about such smells.
Regrettably.
I'm going to take him for a test drive!
But first...
Now that you're repaired, it's time for a little polishing!
She hasn't changed a bit.
When I looked out, the storm had passed a long time ago.
The morning dew betrays how yesterday's...
sorrows have been washed away.
Dawn is let loose by unbolting the panels of night.
Even machines and the buildings all wake up.
Now I can see so far ahead, an unfolding panorama.
Wherever I watch from, I see a peaceful, happy island.
The thing I want to tell to you, the thing I want to show to you:
The shining gate to our dreams lays open to us...
right now before our eyes.
This story is fiction... but in 10 years, who knows?
Division 2 hasn't tried for a long time. Looks like its time for a refresher!
Huh? Is it OK that we are absent from our duties?
I don't think that's a good idea.
You've got nothing to worry about, it's all in your head!
Hey, there are robbers in the area! Noa, where are you!?!?
Next Time: Noa's Big Adventure. Target, locked on!
