**[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.
**[01:38] ---**
Hey Dad, can I eat the candy Grandma gave me?
**[01:42] ---**
No snacks before bedtime, remember?
**[01:44] ---**
Aw, come on... Just one?
**[01:47] ---**
No means no.
**[01:48] ---**
Come on, Dad, please!
**[01:54] ---**
Don't tell your mother, okay?
**[01:55] ---**
Yay!
**[01:58] ---**
Dad, I think I just saw something...
**[02:02] ---**
Oh yeah... There are a lot
of deer around these parts.
**[02:05] ---**
Or maybe it's a... monster?
**[02:09] ---**
There's nothing to worry
about! Dad's here, right?
**[02:12] ---**
If a monster appears, then you'll beat it up?
**[02:16] ---**
You got that right!
**[02:17] ---**
A monster or two ain't nothing
for me to handle.
**[02:33] ---**
Papa...
**[02:38] ---**
It's okay. It'll be okay...
**[02:42] ---**
Stay in the car.
**[02:43] ---**
Got it?
**[02:49] ---**
I'm pretty sure someone was here...
**[02:52] ---**
Dad!
**[03:11] ---**
Oh sure, this is *so* how I
want to spend my weekend...
**[03:14] ---**
All us guys getting together
for some gardening?
**[03:17] ---**
He only said we were going for a
drive! He totally tricked us...
**[03:21] ---**
The clear blue sky, the wide open land, the
sweat dripping from your foreheads...
**[03:27] ---**
I think this is the perfect way
for youth to spend their weekend.
**[03:30] ---**
Easy for you to say!
**[03:32] ---**
What are you researching this time?
**[03:34] ---**
Why are we collecting soil samples?
**[03:36] ---**
Do you know about the abductions that
have been happening in Center City?
**[03:40] ---**
Abductions?
**[03:43] ---**
Over the past month a ton of animals,
**[03:45] ---**
have been attacked and gone missing,
from cows to horses and even pet dogs.
**[03:52] ---**
At this point, no clues or motive have
been discovered about who's responsible.
**[03:58] ---**
Why would someone attack animals?
**[04:00] ---**
Some people are just cruel like that.
**[04:02] ---**
But this time, it's people
that've gone missing.
**[04:06] ---**
Five people in a row.
**[04:09] ---**
A man disappeared three days ago
after a strange car accident.
**[04:13] ---**
Riiight around here...
**[04:16] ---**
So what does this incident
have to do with the soil?
**[04:20] ---**
That soil is an important witness.
**[04:24] ---**
It just might tell us who the culprit is.
**[04:26] ---**
Huh?
**[04:28] ---**
It's already been three days
since it happened, right?
**[04:31] ---**
Even if there is some evidence left, the
wind would have carried it away somewhere.
**[04:37] ---**
What did you just say?
**[04:39] ---**
You just said "carried away," didn't you?
**[04:42] ---**
That's it! That's what connects everything!
**[04:53] ---**
Hurry up and get in!
**[04:54] ---**
We've got to do one more
place before the sun sets!
**[04:59] ---**
If we take a detour I'll be late for work!
**[05:01] ---**
So will I!
**[05:03] ---**
Then you guys are on your own!
**[05:10] ---**
S-So, we're walking back?
**[05:13] ---**
What a jerk!
**[05:19] ---**
It sounds like some sort of joke,
**[05:21] ---**
but I'm tellin' the truth, for real!
**[05:23] ---**
He couldn't even go to the bathroom
by himself at night until he was 9!
**[05:27] ---**
I tried kicking the door once,
and he was so scared he fainted!
**[05:32] ---**
Isn't it hilarious?
**[05:34] ---**
Don't know who he takes after, but
he's like a teensy-weensy acorn!
**[05:38] ---**
An acorn?
**[05:39] ---**
Yeah, a tiny one!
**[05:40] ---**
Tiny Joey and his tiny courage!
**[05:42] ---**
Who are you talking to, Sis?
**[05:46] ---**
Some pretty blond what's-her-name...
**[05:50] ---**
Hey!
**[05:52] ---**
Hello, Lina?
**[05:53] ---**
Sorry for calling you so late.
**[05:55] ---**
Your sister was telling me
a lot about you, Joey.
**[05:59] ---**
No, no! That was our neighborhood drunk!
**[06:02] ---**
I'm sober, damn it!
**[06:04] ---**
Why are you getting in
the way? Get outta here!
**[06:07] ---**
I'm being serious, man.
**[06:09] ---**
There ain't even fairy tales about
acorns gettin' cheerleaders.
**[06:14] ---**
I'm sorry, Lina...
**[06:16] ---**
I'm okay.
**[06:17] ---**
You weren't at school, so I was
worried. Did something happen?
**[06:23] ---**
Well...
**[06:25] ---**
There've been those abductions
recently, you know?
**[06:29] ---**
My Dad said it's dangerous, and
won't let me out of the house.
**[06:32] ---**
Oh, so that's why.
**[06:34] ---**
Hey, has Professor Denton returned yet?
**[06:36] ---**
No... It's been three days
since we split up, too...
**[06:40] ---**
What? He still hasn't come back?
**[06:43] ---**
No...
**[06:44] ---**
Tomorrow's Saturday, so
I'll go look for him with Psy.
**[06:47] ---**
I'll help too! I think I
could slip out for a bit...
**[06:51] ---**
I think it's better for you to
listen to your parents right now.
**[06:54] ---**
Leave this to us.
**[06:56] ---**
But...
**[06:57] ---**
No... I want to see you, Joey.
**[07:07] ---**
So do I...
**[07:10] ---**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[07:12] ---**
Explain to me what's going on here?
**[07:15] ---**
Why is the hedgehog sitting
there drinking coffee?
**[07:18] ---**
I can't help it! She came in on her own!
**[07:22] ---**
Waiter!
**[07:23] ---**
Yes?
**[07:24] ---**
Fill me up.
**[07:25] ---**
And don't be stingy about it.
**[07:27] ---**
I want it so strong I'm hopping on
the stools and my head explodes!
**[07:30] ---**
As you wish...
**[07:32] ---**
And five lumps of sugar.
**[07:33] ---**
Right...
**[07:35] ---**
Um... Are you planning on coming
with us to look for the Professor?
**[07:42] ---**
Frankly, I think this is a bigger
problem then you guys can handle.
**[07:45] ---**
It's an extremely complex case.
**[07:48] ---**
Well, things just went from
complex to seriously messed up...
**[07:53] ---**
Where did the Professor disappear to?
**[07:55] ---**
All we know is that he was chasing
after the abduction cases.
**[07:58] ---**
He must have gotten a hold
of a clue to the culprit!
**[08:02] ---**
That's why he disappeared!
**[08:04] ---**
Please, don't jinx things like that!
**[08:06] ---**
Don't underestimate your
sister's sixth sense.
**[08:08] ---**
I found those underwear
you hid after your "accident"
**[08:10] ---**
and that test you scored a zero on, remember?
**[08:16] ---**
Please don't tell people about that!
**[08:18] ---**
Must be hard having a
detective in the family.
**[08:22] ---**
But these incidents really are a mystery...
**[08:24] ---**
They've been so frequent,
**[08:26] ---**
but no witnesses or evidence has been found.
**[08:30] ---**
Is that even possible?
**[08:32] ---**
Might be the work of psychics...
**[08:34] ---**
No way...
**[08:35] ---**
I wouldn't make fun of psychic
powers if I were you!
**[08:38] ---**
I don't know the details, but I know
one important thing about the culprit.
**[08:44] ---**
Use your brains a bit, sheesh!
**[08:47] ---**
Listen. Cows disappeared, right?
**[08:50] ---**
Whoever it is, they're some
macho-man that can carry a cow!
**[08:54] ---**
A macho-man?
**[08:59] ---**
All right then, let's
get to catching the guy!
**[09:09] ---**
He split up from you guys,
and took off in his RV.
**[09:13] ---**
He was heading in the
direction of this beach...
**[09:16] ---**
We just might run into the culprit here.
**[09:20] ---**
But before that...
**[09:21] ---**
Why do we...
**[09:23] ---**
...have to dress up in
these ridiculous outfits?
**[09:27] ---**
You know, to get in the spirit.
**[09:30] ---**
The spirit? But look at us!
**[09:33] ---**
Yeah! The culprit will know
we're detectives immediately!
**[09:36] ---**
T-That's not what I meant...
**[09:38] ---**
Stop your complainin'. We're
starting the investigation.
**[09:41] ---**
Time to interrogate people whether they've
seen a suspicious macho-man around here!
**[09:48] ---**
Sis!
**[09:49] ---**
The Professor might be adrift
on the sea about now.
**[09:53] ---**
I'll go "look" for him a bit.
**[10:00] ---**
She just came to play around?
**[10:04] ---**
I don't think this is going to help any.
**[10:06] ---**
There are macho-men all over the place here.
**[10:10] ---**
Hey, Joey... Look at that.
**[10:18] ---**
Interrogating people?
Sounds like a good idea to me...
**[10:21] ---**
Psy, take this more seriously!
**[10:30] ---**
I feel like we're getting farther away
from the Professor by the second.
**[10:38] ---**
Galapagos...
**[10:40] ---**
What the heck kind of map were you using?
**[10:43] ---**
What're you slacking off for?
**[10:48] ---**
I've found out where the culprit is.
**[10:51] ---**
You have?
**[11:04] ---**
So you're the brats who've
been sniffing around about me.
**[11:08] ---**
We heard rumors that you're the
strongest dude in Center City...
**[11:14] ---**
Yeah? And what if I am?
**[11:16] ---**
We'd like to ask you some questions.
**[11:19] ---**
You recognize the guy in this picture?
**[11:22] ---**
What? You guys are friends with Matthew?
**[11:25] ---**
The Professor came to this bar?
**[11:28] ---**
Great, we've picked up his trail.
**[11:30] ---**
He's really a strange fellow, that one...
**[11:34] ---**
All he does is drink Coke
and eat marshmallows.
**[11:36] ---**
He must think this place is
a coffee shop or something.
**[11:40] ---**
And he forgot to tip even
though he wasn't drunk.
**[11:42] ---**
Yeah, that sounds like him.
**[11:44] ---**
Caught up in some money troubles?
**[11:46] ---**
That could be the motive
for a criminal act...
**[11:49] ---**
So? You saying we had something do with this?
**[11:54] ---**
You're the culprit who
attacked the Professor!
**[11:57] ---**
W-We have to turn in a report
to the Professor, see!
**[12:01] ---**
Yes, yes! We're studying people
strong enough to lift cows!
**[12:07] ---**
Well that sounds interesting. Let me try.
**[12:23] ---**
What the hell do you think you're
doing to my little brother?
**[12:37] ---**
He got beat by a girl. Nothin' but talk.
**[12:40] ---**
Can't be him, then.
**[12:42] ---**
You're just scarier than a bull, that's all!
**[12:45] ---**
Come on! Playing detective
isn't getting us anywhere!
**[12:48] ---**
While we're doing this, the Professor is...
**[12:51] ---**
Don't be in such a rush. I've
figured out one thing so far.
**[12:54] ---**
Really?
**[12:55] ---**
Yeah...
**[12:57] ---**
You get hungry when you use your head.
**[13:08] ---**
Um, I really don't think we should
be leisurely drinking coffee...
**[13:12] ---**
Shuddap already. Some coffee
ain't gonna kill anyone.
**[13:15] ---**
How about being grateful I'm
helping you out for free?
**[13:17] ---**
See? I told you not to let
Holly out of her cage!
**[13:24] ---**
What are you talking about, "helping?"
**[13:27] ---**
You've always been like this!
**[13:29] ---**
You just have fun teasing
us and dragging us around!
**[13:32] ---**
Do you understand how inconsiderate it is
to play around when there's a person missing?
**[13:36] ---**
You keep complaining like that and
you'll turn into a cow yourself.
**[13:40] ---**
Here.
**[13:42] ---**
This is...
**[13:43] ---**
Yeah...
**[13:45] ---**
Sleeping beauty has woken up.
**[13:49] ---**
Um...
**[13:51] ---**
Why do we...
**[13:53] ---**
...have to wear these clothes?
**[13:57] ---**
It's a special room, so
the security is tight.
**[14:00] ---**
We'll get through it by saying
you two are her friends.
**[14:03] ---**
Got it?
**[14:08] ---**
Who are you?
**[14:09] ---**
Some friends for a visit!
**[14:13] ---**
Doesn't this look even more suspicious?
**[14:15] ---**
Don't you worry! You look
like a cute girl to me!
**[14:20] ---**
But, why?!
**[14:22] ---**
I'm sure this is just temporary.
She'll recover them in no time.
**[14:28] ---**
Please, stay calm.
**[14:38] ---**
P-Pardon us...
**[14:41] ---**
We guys, er, girls... We
want to be your friend!
**[14:46] ---**
'Kay?
**[14:47] ---**
Yes, we do!
**[14:55] ---**
Um...
**[15:01] ---**
We brought you a present. Would you like one?
**[15:05] ---**
You guys came to ask
about my Dad, didn't you?
**[15:09] ---**
But, I don't remember anything.
**[15:12] ---**
Psy, she...
**[15:14] ---**
Has she lost her memories?
**[15:17] ---**
Okay, time for your exam!
**[15:19] ---**
You good-for-nothings beat it already.
**[15:23] ---**
What's the matter? Why the long face?
**[15:25] ---**
You look worse than my 80 year old granny!
**[15:29] ---**
A doggy?
**[15:30] ---**
My name is Holly. Nice to meet you.
**[15:33] ---**
Okay...
**[15:34] ---**
When I was your age, I once wore
my pajamas for a whole week.
**[15:39] ---**
I was bored and all alone,
so I played like this.
**[15:44] ---**
A whole week?
**[15:46] ---**
You sleepyhead!
**[15:49] ---**
Yeah...
**[15:50] ---**
Did you have scary dreams?
**[15:54] ---**
Dreams?
**[15:55] ---**
Like, a dream where a demon appears...
**[16:00] ---**
A demon? What kind of demon?
**[16:03] ---**
Its eyes flash bright red,
**[16:06] ---**
and then it attacks people.
**[16:08] ---**
And it has super sharp claws...
**[16:12] ---**
Then it... to my Dad...
**[16:15] ---**
You remember?
**[16:16] ---**
Please tell us, what happened to your Dad?
**[16:18] ---**
That's enough...
**[16:22] ---**
Don't worry, it was just a dream.
**[16:24] ---**
Your Dad'll be coming back, just you wait.
**[16:27] ---**
You know about Heroman?
**[16:29] ---**
He'll KO any demon in one hit!
**[16:34] ---**
Really?
**[16:36] ---**
Yeah, he will.
**[16:48] ---**
Maybe I should see an eye doctor...
**[16:50] ---**
Holly looks like she's being serious.
**[17:04] ---**
Where do you think you're going?
**[17:07] ---**
Um... To a friend's place.
**[17:09] ---**
Don't worry, I'll be right back.
**[17:12] ---**
Return to your room this instant.
**[17:14] ---**
Can't I go out, just for a little bit?
**[17:17] ---**
I've been stuck here for three days!
**[17:19] ---**
Then I will come with you.
**[17:21] ---**
I'll get ready right away.
**[17:23] ---**
No, no, that's okay...
**[17:25] ---**
A friend you can't introduce to your
parents? I can't approve of that.
**[17:29] ---**
It's not that "Joey" boy
I've heard about, is it?
**[17:32] ---**
You don't know anything about Joey, Dad!
**[17:35] ---**
Lina!
**[17:37] ---**
Lina...
**[17:40] ---**
Both me and your mother worry about you.
**[17:43] ---**
With Will gone, if something
were to happen to you...
**[17:51] ---**
Dad...
**[18:02] ---**
Back to square one, I guess.
**[18:04] ---**
We're quite literally back where we started.
**[18:09] ---**
Yeah, no complaining.
**[18:10] ---**
They say the criminal always returns
to the scene of the crime, right?
**[18:14] ---**
We'll stake the place out, and the
culprit is sure to turn up!
**[18:17] ---**
Wait, you plan to stay here how long?
**[18:20] ---**
How long? You expect me to
just give up empty-handed?
**[18:25] ---**
What'll we do, Joey? Now's
our chance to escape...
**[18:28] ---**
Okay. Run on a count of three...
**[18:31] ---**
One...
**[18:31] ---**
Two...
**[18:32] ---**
Three!
**[18:33] ---**
Hey boneheads!
**[18:36] ---**
The Professor was investigating
the soil here, right?
**[18:39] ---**
Yeah, so?
**[18:43] ---**
Look, the plant's dead.
**[18:44] ---**
Don't you think that's odd?
**[18:46] ---**
What do you mean?
**[18:50] ---**
I know the basic outline of the incidents
and the status of the investigation.
**[18:53] ---**
But why should we get involved
in this string of abductions?
**[18:57] ---**
Isn't this a job for the police?
**[18:59] ---**
We've been notified by the government
to help in the investigation.
**[19:04] ---**
This is...
**[19:05] ---**
Quite the eye opener, yes?
**[19:11] ---**
Rock daisies...
**[19:14] ---**
It's a very hardy flower that
can even survive in the desert.
**[19:17] ---**
Why would it have died?
**[19:19] ---**
You sure know a lot. Did
you work at a flower shop?
**[19:26] ---**
My mother loved this flower.
**[19:29] ---**
I heard that my dad would bring
them back with him from work a lot.
**[19:37] ---**
Man, I'm starving. Let's get some dinner.
**[19:41] ---**
Your treat, Joey!
**[19:43] ---**
Why me?
**[19:45] ---**
Sis!
**[19:51] ---**
Holly!
**[19:52] ---**
Sis!
**[19:58] ---**
Will?
**[20:05] ---**
Psy, take care of Holly.
**[20:07] ---**
Leave her to me!
**[20:24] ---**
Heroman...
**[20:27] ---**
Engage!
**[20:38] ---**
Will, is that you?
**[20:40] ---**
Are you the one who
attacked Professor Denton?
**[20:44] ---**
Answer me!
**[20:51] ---**
Heroman...
**[20:54] ---**
Attack!
**[21:14] ---**
After him, Heroman!
**[21:22] ---**
Where'd he go?
**[21:25] ---**
Ow...
**[21:26] ---**
You're awake?
**[21:30] ---**
Where's Joey?
**[21:31] ---**
Don't worry. We should just stay here.
**[21:34] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[21:36] ---**
You're just gonna leave
Joey out there, alone?
**[21:38] ---**
N-No! He's going after the...
**[21:41] ---**
Well... Whatever, Joey's fine!
**[21:43] ---**
I can't believe you, Psy! And
you call yourself his friend!
**[21:49] ---**
Wait, Holly! Don't go that way!
**[21:53] ---**
Damn it...
**[21:54] ---**
Joey!
**[21:56] ---**
Joey!
**[21:58] ---**
Joey!
**[21:59] ---**
Where are you, Joey?
**[22:02] ---**
Just you wait, I'm coming to save 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] ---**
Sis, where are you? Where did you go?
**[23:56] ---**
Sis!
**[23:59] ---**
It seemed like Joey and the gang's
investigation had gotten to the bottom of it,
**[24:02] ---**
but now, even Holly has gone missing.
**[24:05] ---**
Joey begins to walk the path of truth in
order to take back that which is dear to him.
**[24:12] ---**
Next time on Heroman #21: Emotion.
**[24:16] ---**
Heroman... Attack!
