Patlabor: Early Days

Go North, SV2! (1x7)

:

A truck at a petrol station is stolen, but when the attendant tells a passing policeman, the driver of the truck does not want the police chase after it. The police suspect something fishy is going on and arrest him. He is, in fact, a sympathizer for the terrorist group the Beach House. He stole the truck which was carrying a Labor from the Tokyo Labor show. The manufacturer, Shaft Enterprises Europe, is keeping tight-lipped about what exactly is in the truck. The SV2 attempt to capture the truck in front of a tunnel. The truck escapes with the help of the terrorist sympathizer in the Labor, who breaks through the trailer after not being able to get into contact with his friend in the truck. Later, the man who stole the truck drives off the highway only to discover that he is helping a terrorist sympathizer. The theft of the truck from the petrol station was just an opportunistic crime to get a ride home.
