[00:05] [SONG] ---
    I tried coming alone to our usual park.
[00:13] [SONG] ---
    It's a feeling I've never felt.
[00:16] [SONG] ---
    Like a child, frightened by the sound of the wind
[00:21] [SONG] ---
    I ran back along the path home.
[00:27] [SONG] ---
    The sky outside the window is too vast. Where are you now?
[00:34] [SONG] ---
    Please, may this reach you...
[00:38] [SONG] ---
    Dear Lord, if you ever grant wishes,
[00:44] [SONG] ---
    grant my wish right now, please!
[00:50] [SONG] ---
    I want to hear your voice, I miss you! I want to see you now!
[00:56] [SONG] ---
    Why must you already be looking toward tomorrow?
[01:00] [SONG] ---
    Don't just brush it off, saying the time has slipped by.
[01:06] [SONG] ---
    Once more...
[01:08] [SONG] ---
    I love you, and yet it's been too late since long ago.
[01:14] [SONG] ---
    Even if I give up, it can't be like the past.
[01:19] [SONG] ---
    Don't just decide so simply there's no way, no choice.
[01:24] [SONG] ---
    Smile once more.
[01:51] ---
    Why? Why did it turn out like this?
[01:55] ---
    All we wanted to do was
    to protect Center City...
[02:03] ---
    Why...
[02:07] ---
    What? We broke through the checkpoints.
[02:10] ---
    They don't know where we're headed.
[02:13] ---
    Now all we need to do is head to our
    destination without sticking out.
[02:17] ---
    Exactly!
[02:18] ---
    Although, don't let down your guard.
[02:22] ---
    What's with the long face?
[02:25] ---
    No, it's nothing really...
[02:26] ---
    Don't worry, we'll get through this somehow!
[02:30] ---
    I think you're being a
    bit too optimistic there.
[02:33] ---
    Fine, then how should I be?
[02:35] ---
    Our journey is going to
    get rough from now on.
[02:39] ---
    Even after we escape to my
    friend's place in Nevada...
[02:43] ---
    Are you listening, Joey?
[02:45] ---
    To clear Heroman's name,
[02:48] ---
    all kinds of challenges are
    going to stand in our way.
[02:52] ---
    And to get through them, we're
    going to need Heroman's power,
[02:57] ---
    and all the experience you
    have gained to this point.
[03:00] ---
    It goes without saying that we'll need
    Heroman to grow his powers even further.
[03:07] ---
    Heroman's powers?
[03:09] ---
    I'm not saying you need to be
    constantly worried about it.
[03:11] ---
    But, you mustn't relax, ever.
[03:19] ---
    Yeah, that's the spirit!
[03:21] ---
    Can't go to battle on
    an empty stomach, right?
[03:24] ---
    First, we have a meal.
[03:27] ---
    And we'll stock up while we're at it.
[03:29] ---
    Music to my ears!
[03:42] ---
    The coal mine he ran into is a
    twisted maze of countless tunnels.
[03:47] ---
    It's pointless. He's already
    escaped from Center City.
[03:52] ---
    The question is, where is he heading?
[03:55] ---
    We'll continue with the checkpoints
    on the major roadways.
[03:59] ---
    The search is already
    on for Denton's vehicle.
[04:02] ---
    We can also put up in various locations...
[04:04] ---
    All we can do is wait, then.
[04:07] ---
    Until he makes a mistake.
[04:11] ---
    Agent Hughes.
[04:12] ---
    What is it?
[04:14] ---
    Dr. Minami is here to see you.
[04:34] ---
    The inclement weather on the east coast
    is affecting more than 20,000 people.
[04:40] ---
    Now, continuing to the next story.
[04:43] ---
    With regards to the battle between
    police and a mysterious power
[04:46] ---
    in the outskirts of Center City
    that happened the other day,
[04:48] ---
    the government believes the probability is
    high that it was a remnant of the Skrugg.
[04:55] ---
    Although there was some damage from the
    incident, they were successful in driving it away.
[05:00] ---
    It looks like they prevented
    it from entering the city.
[05:03] ---
    What the heck are they
    saying? It was their doing!
[05:07] ---
    Why are they saying that?
[05:09] ---
    Public opinion is important.
[05:12] ---
    If they can convince people
    they're fighting "evil,"
[05:15] ---
    then they can fight without holding back.
[05:18] ---
    We're up against the government here.
[05:19] ---
    Don't go getting upset
    about every little thing.
[05:24] ---
    Now, the next story.
[05:26] ---
    A middle school teacher and
    a student have gone missing.
[05:31] ---
    They have been identified as Center City
    Middle School teacher Mr. Matthew Denton,
[05:36] ---
    and this student, Mr. Joseph Carter Jones.
[05:41] ---
    The police believe they may be
    involved with some incidents,
[05:44] ---
    and have opened up a criminal investigation.
[05:46] ---
    If anyone has any information, please
    contact your local law enforcement department.
[05:48] ---
    Well, that is surprising.
[05:50] ---
    They'll even go this far?
[05:53] ---
    And wait, what am I, chopped liver?
[05:56] ---
    We've got to get out of here, quick.
[06:06] ---
    It looks like we should
    avoid eating out for now.
[06:09] ---
    Sheesh, it's like we're wanted men.
[06:20] ---
    Got it? Try not to stand out at all.
[06:23] ---
    We'll get our shopping
    done quickly and smoothly.
[06:28] ---
    I may have told you before, but please
    don't place too great a hope on my wallet.
[06:44] ---
    I can't stand it!
[06:46] ---
    That incident the other
    day was right near here!
[06:48] ---
    Don't worry, the government's handling it.
[06:51] ---
    They'll get 'im soon.
[06:53] ---
    Some remnant of the Skrugg isn't
    anything to be worried about.
[06:56] ---
    But anyway, what do you
    think that white alien is?
[06:59] ---
    It has such an evil face!
[07:03] ---
    Joey!
[07:09] ---
    Joey...
[07:12] ---
    Let's hurry and finish the shopping.
[07:15] ---
    Yeah. Let's do that.
[07:18] ---
    Let's see here...
[07:21] ---
    Which would be good?
[07:27] ---
    Something the matter?
[07:29] ---
    No...
[07:31] ---
    I'm going to the bathroom.
[07:53] ---
    Hello?
[07:55] ---
    Lina...
[07:56] ---
    Joey? It's you, Joey, right?
[07:59] ---
    What's happened?
[08:00] ---
    I saw about Heroman on TV...
[08:03] ---
    There were men in black asking
    about you around your house.
[08:07] ---
    And Prof. Denton has gone missing, too!
[08:11] ---
    I'm sorry, a lot has happened.
[08:13] ---
    Anyway, Joey...
[08:15] ---
    Are you okay?
[08:16] ---
    Yeah! The Professor and Psy are safe as well.
[08:19] ---
    I wouldn't say we're doing
    super or anything, though...
[08:22] ---
    Is there anything I can do?
[08:25] ---
    Yeah. There's one thing I'd like to ask.
[08:28] ---
    What is it? Anything you want!
[08:30] ---
    Don't worry about us.
[08:34] ---
    Joey...
[08:38] ---
    I'll see you again, right?
[08:43] ---
    I have to hang up now.
[08:44] ---
    Joey, Joe-
[08:50] ---
    Phone trace is complete.
[08:51] ---
    4649 North Street, Lukesville.
[08:55] ---
    It's a public phone inside the grocery store.
[08:57] ---
    Great, good going.
[08:59] ---
    Use the satellite data!
[09:00] ---
    Determine which one is
    Denton's vehicle immediately!
[09:03] ---
    When you've found it, track it!
[09:06] ---
    We'll head there immediately.
[09:08] ---
    Mr. Hughes.
[09:10] ---
    Let me say something first.
[09:13] ---
    We're up against technology
    that is out-of-this-world.
[09:15] ---
    If you continue using these half-hearted
    tactics you will fail again.
[09:19] ---
    Half-hearted?
[09:21] ---
    It seems to me that you are more interested
    in the humans than the target itself.
[09:26] ---
    That's because we are up against humans here.
[09:28] ---
    That is how we managed to
    track them down, after all.
[09:30] ---
    Well, fine then.
[09:33] ---
    But I'll have you remember this:
[09:36] ---
    We are not meant for fighting humans!
[09:40] ---
    Then I'll say something as well:
[09:42] ---
    I am in command here, and don't forget it.
[09:52] ---
    I wonder just how long you'll
    be able to say that, Mr. Hughes.
[09:58] ---
    He's only involved in the investigation because
    of pressure from his connections to the military...
[10:13] ---
    At this pace I think we'll arrive
    faster than I anticipated.
[10:17] ---
    Faster... Like, how fast?
[10:19] ---
    Including rest, another two days or so.
[10:25] ---
    Professor Denton.
[10:27] ---
    What is it?
[10:29] ---
    Something is strange.
[10:30] ---
    Strange?
[10:35] ---
    We're in a town, but...
[10:37] ---
    ...there are no people.
[10:40] ---
    You're right.
[10:42] ---
    It couldn't be...
[10:51] ---
    How'd they find us?
[10:53] ---
    That's not what's important right now!
[10:56] ---
    What's important is...
[10:58] ---
    ...how we can get through this crisis!
[11:01] ---
    Stop! Stop or we shoot!
[11:04] ---
    Damn it!
[11:08] ---
    After them!
[11:09] ---
    Hurry!
[11:14] ---
    I'll draw them away.
[11:16] ---
    We're counting on you!
[11:17] ---
    Psy, is there some good place to meet up?
[11:20] ---
    There's some warehouses two blocks ahead!
[11:22] ---
    Let's meet behind there!
[11:23] ---
    Got it!
[11:27] ---
    Heroman... Engage!
[11:39] ---
    It's here!
[11:40] ---
    That's the target?
[11:41] ---
    Prepare to fire!
[11:46] ---
    Heroman... Go!
[12:23] ---
    In the middle of the town...
[12:25] ---
    Heroman!
[12:52] ---
    What are you doing? After him!
[13:02] ---
    Something that giant, disappeared?
[13:07] ---
    Keisha, the military's on the move!
[13:10] ---
    I've been waiting for this!
[13:11] ---
    Hurry up, we're leaving immediately!
[13:13] ---
    I know!
[13:29] ---
    We're back.
[13:30] ---
    Good. We managed to get away
    from them thanks to you.
[13:35] ---
    So it seems like they haven't got
    us completely surrounded this time.
[13:39] ---
    What do you plan to do?
[13:41] ---
    You expect to escape in such a big vehicle?
[13:44] ---
    I think we can.
[13:45] ---
    But I'll need everyone's help.
[13:49] ---
    Psy, get in the back.
[13:51] ---
    You want me to cook or something?
[13:54] ---
    Turn the transceiver in
    the back to channel 7.
[13:58] ---
    Roger that!
[13:59] ---
    After that, flip the switch on the side.
[14:03] ---
    What's he planning?
[14:05] ---
    We'll monitor their transmissions!
[14:07] ---
    That'll take the wind out of their sails!
[14:09] ---
    Target has been lost!
[14:11] ---
    It worked!
[14:12] ---
    I think the vehicle was proceeding north on 3rd!
[14:16] ---
    Encircle a large perimeter!
[14:18] ---
    Roger.
[14:19] ---
    We'll use the satellite to track them down.
[14:21] ---
    I won't let you do that.
[14:25] ---
    What's going on?
[14:27] ---
    Why did they ignore my orders to
    stand by and start the plan?
[14:31] ---
    They received an order to start a
    direct attack if they had the chance...
[14:40] ---
    Is this Minami's doing?
[14:43] ---
    This is a war.
[14:45] ---
    Victory goes to the one who strikes first!
[14:56] ---
    What's going on?
[14:57] ---
    We still haven't found the target!
[14:59] ---
    Target has changed to heading east!
[15:01] ---
    It seems like they're heading
    to the highway entrance!
[15:04] ---
    To repeat: The target is to the east!
[15:06] ---
    Damn it! Move out immediately!
[15:09] ---
    Gotcha!
[15:11] ---
    Good! All clear over here, too.
[15:18] ---
    I can just imagine their freaked out faces...
[15:20] ---
    What have you done?
[15:22] ---
    What? Just a little prank.
[15:29] ---
    Now we head to the west which should
    be unguarded, and we're home free!
[15:37] ---
    Really?
[15:38] ---
    They can do something like that?
[15:41] ---
    What's happened?
[15:42] ---
    It seems that the military satellites and
    transportation systems have been hacked!
[15:47] ---
    What?
[15:48] ---
    The satellite, tracking system, and
    all security cameras in this area...
[15:53] ---
    We can't operate any of them!
[15:56] ---
    What in the world?
[15:58] ---
    Where are our units located right now?
[16:01] ---
    The target was heading east,
[16:04] ---
    so our forces are spread out around
    the crucial entrance to the highway.
[16:09] ---
    The target's to the west!
[16:11] ---
    Move our forces immediately!
[16:13] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[16:14] ---
    Use secure channels for communication.
[16:17] ---
    Secure channels?
[16:18] ---
    We're up against someone who
    can hack military satellites.
[16:21] ---
    It'd be an easy matter for them
    to intercept communications.
[16:24] ---
    Hurry! Don't waste any time!
[16:26] ---
    Roger!
[16:32] ---
    All right! We're almost out of the town.
[16:45] ---
    Stop this futile resistance!
    You have nowhere left to run!
[16:52] ---
    Surrender!
[16:54] ---
    If you surrender, you won't be harmed!
[17:01] ---
    Yeah, like we'd honestly believe that.
[17:05] ---
    I repeat, surrender!
[17:12] ---
    Negotiations have broken down!
[17:15] ---
    Begin the attack!
[18:04] ---
    Where's your friend?
[18:06] ---
    Friend?
[18:07] ---
    I dunno... What was I doing again?
[18:18] ---
    Get outta here, Joey.
[18:27] ---
    What happened?
[18:29] ---
    We've captured Denton!
[18:30] ---
    But we can't find the boy or the target!
[18:35] ---
    What?!
[18:38] ---
    Go back! Go back!
[18:41] ---
    So the Ghost wasn't being
    transported by vehicle?
[18:44] ---
    I don't know, but we haven't found the Ghost!
[18:50] ---
    Land the helicopter. I'm
    getting off on the ground.
[18:57] ---
    That boy will try to avoid fighting.
[19:02] ---
    So in that case, he'd...
[19:08] ---
    Begin questioning him.
[19:10] ---
    Spread out a search party
    focusing on the forest area.
[19:14] ---
    Got it?
[19:15] ---
    Roger!
[19:21] ---
    Howard...
[19:22] ---
    Yes, sir?
[19:23] ---
    You're in charge.
[19:24] ---
    Yes?
[19:25] ---
    Then, what about you?
[19:27] ---
    I'm really not cut out for group operations.
[19:32] ---
    If anything happens, contact us!
[19:35] ---
    Roger that!
[19:58] ---
    Are you okay, Psy?
[19:59] ---
    Yeah...
[20:00] ---
    ...is what I'd like to say, anyway.
[20:02] ---
    But I'm obviously holding you back.
[20:04] ---
    That's not true!
[20:06] ---
    I feel a lot more confident with you here!
[20:10] ---
    It's more important that you get
    away from here than feel safe!
[20:15] ---
    Go on ahead!
[20:17] ---
    No!
[20:18] ---
    I can't leave you behind, Psy!
[20:21] ---
    So you want the two of us to be caught?
[20:24] ---
    Go!
[20:25] ---
    As long as you two aren't captured...
[20:27] ---
    The Professor and I will
    handle things somehow!
[20:30] ---
    But!
[20:30] ---
    Get outta here, Joey!
[20:32] ---
    For our sakes, as well...
[20:35] ---
    Psy...
[20:37] ---
    Okay?
[20:49] ---
    Don't worry. I'll buy you plenty of time.
[21:12] ---
    Now, then...
[21:14] ---
    Let's rock this place real good.
[21:17] ---
    It might not work on humans, but it'll
    get their attention, that's for sure!
[22:02] ---
    I found you.
[22:29] [SONG] ---
    I want to get to know you better,
[22:32] [SONG] ---
    to go at each other with our true feelings.
[22:35] [SONG] ---
    Your tears and smile are both here.
[22:42] [SONG] ---
    No matter how hard it is, I won't be scared any more.
[22:46] [SONG] ---
    With both of us, we can go anywhere.
[22:49] [SONG] ---
    Since you're the one who taught me that I'm not alone.
[22:54] [SONG] ---
    Every time I mutter the words "I was born to meet you"
[23:03] [SONG] ---
    my unease disappears, and my heart burns stronger.
[23:07] [SONG] ---
    Thank you. We'll go on together with a sign only we understand.
[23:14] [SONG] ---
    Carve out this irreplaceable time!
[23:20] [SONG] ---
    I can't move away from here.
[23:23] [SONG] ---
    Because I live feeling the same heartbeat.
[23:28] [SONG] ---
    I want to protect you to the very last,
[23:30] [SONG] ---
    to protect the promise built up.
[23:33] [SONG] ---
    Thank you. We'll go on together with a sign only we understand.
[23:40] [SONG] ---
    We are carving out this irreplaceable time!
[23:51] ---
    On the next Heroman:
[23:53] ---
    Is it really okay for me to trust you?
[23:56] ---
    Just as he thought he'd escaped,
    he meets NIA Agent Hughes.
[24:01] ---
    But what he says is the opposite
    of what Joey expected.
[24:05] ---
    With the possibility of talking reopened,
[24:08] ---
    the situation seems to be heading
    to a peaceful conclusion, when...
[24:12] ---
    Next time on Heroman #15: Revolt!
[24:15] ---
    Heroman... Attack!
[24:18] ---
