Oh... I won't let this little bump stop me! Ow-ow-ow...
Sir, please! Don't push yourself!.
But I can't just lie here.
While we're sitting around, Mitsuko is...!
Sir!
Don't say anything to make Masaru worry even more!
Sorry...
This'll go down as Hanpei Hattori's greatest screw-up.
Having a client kidnapped right before my eyes!
There's no point calling the police, is there?
They'll never believe that a robot flew away with her.
If only he were here!
We could ride after them with me in the sidecar...
...and then tear those stupid robots apart--
That's...!
You don't suppose...?!
We're home, Masaru.
Masaru!
Sis!
Promise me!
Promise you'll never leave me again! Promise me!
Masaru...
Looks like he's fallen asleep.
Can you blame him?
He's been up all night worrying about them.
Promise...me...
Mitsuko...
Jiro...
ANDROI D KI KAI DER The Animation
FRI ENDS
If I wanted it repaired, I could have done it long ago...
The one who knows more about...
...the conscience circuit than anyone else...
...is with Professor Gill...!
Are you saying... Are you saying my father is still alive?!
I see... He told you that...
If what that robot said is the truth...
..then my father is Professor Gill's prisoner...
...and he may be making more robots for him.
You must be worried.
Just knowing he's alive is enough.
But the real problem is finding out where this Gill guy is.
I already know that Dark is a major organization in the underworld...
...but even with my sources...
Ooh...! I can't find out anything!
Sir, there's no point wondering about stuff you can't figure out.
Anyway, what do we do next?
Yeah, you're right.
More robots are probably gonna come after Jiro.
And they know about this house, too.
You should probably hide somewhere for a little while.
It's kind of a dump, but why not use our office?
Don't call it a dump!
I remembered one other thing.
About my mother...
Who's this?
My mother.
And I think she had some sort of connection with Prof. Gill.
Please take good care of him.
I, Hanpei Hattori, will protect Masaru with my life!
Relax! Leave it to us!
My boss isn't too dependable, but he's got lots of dumb luck.
Hey!
Are you sure about this, Mitsuko?
It'd be dangerous to take him with us.
Besides... I don't want him to hear about Mother.
See how he defeats our robots, one after another...
Well?
Do you want my impressions of Kikaider?
What I want is data.
Despite the negative factor of his incomplete conscience circuit...
...his combat power is greater than the others. Why is that?
Suppose it's because of his conscience circuit.
What?
All of the robots we've sent after him have been made by Komyoji.
Kikaider may be the newest model...
...but I doubt his abilities are that much greater.
The only difference between them...
...is the conscience circuit, you mean?
Damn that Komyoji...
Still, the thought intrigues me. I've already made my move.
I'll leave the rest to you.
Mother left us right after Masaru was born.
Father never told me why she did it or where she went.
I don't know anything about my mother...
But this place in the photo was where...
...we took our only family vacation together, before Masaru was born.
I want to go there and check it out.
'' HATTORI DETECTIVE AGENCY''
'' HATTORI DETECTIVE AGENCY'' It's no fair, leaving me behind!
Well, it's just that... You know...?
They promised me they weren't going to leave me again!
Soon! They'll be back soon!
Right, Etsuko?
Exactly! So be a good boy and wait for them, okay?
I know! You want some cake?
Whoops! There's the phone.
Hello? Hanpei Hattori Detective Agency...
Yeah. I see. So, you got there safely.
Don't worry. He's taking it fine.
I see. You're staying there, right?
Right, I hear you.
Don't worry.
Okay, I went all out on this today.
Take whatever you want.
Whoa!
Oh, Sir? Sorry.
Could you go to the bank and withdraw some money, please?
Uh, sure. We don't have much to withdraw, though.
Go to it, Sir!
They'll be sorry they left me behind!
'' Nakata Town, Oaza, Moriishi. Tokiwa Cottages''
'' Nakata Town, Oaza, Moriishi. Tokiwa Cottages'' All right!
That was lucky, finding the same cottage vacant.
So, you came here once with Dr. Komyoji, right?
Yes...
My workaholic father...
...once actually took my mother and me with him.
It was my first trip, and I remember being very happy about it.
Want to go for a little walk outside?
Excuse me!
'' Moriishi Station''
'' Moriishi Station'' He's here.
'' Moriishi Station''
'' Moriishi Station'' Yes, he's here.
'' Moriishi Station''
Let's see... Am I on the right path?
I am not scared!
I'm not scared! I'm not scared!
Y-Y-You don't want to eat me! I taste terrible!
He's not going to eat you.
He's really gentle, actually.
See. It's all right.
It's all right.
That bear belongs to you?
I'm Kuuya.
I'm Kaito.
And we call him Riku.
My name's Masaru Komyoji!
So, my sister and brother left me behind.
Wasn't that mean?
Very mean.
Yes, very mean.
That's why I'm going after them.
I'm not a little kid anymore, so I can do anything!
You're pretty smart.
Yeah, you're great!
Do you two live around here?
No, we don't.
We came here looking for someone, too.
Huh? So, you guys are like me?
It's okay, though. We've found him.
That's why we're helping you, Masaru.
Right, Riku?
That's cold!
Wow! Fish! There's tons of them!
Do you want the fish?
Shall we get them for you?
- Here you go. - They're yours.
That's okay. I don't want them.
I feel sorry for them, so let's put them back in the stream.
You feel sorry for them?
If you say so, Masaru.
I'm sorry. Especially after you caught them for me.
It doesn't matter to us.
If you want another one, just tell us.
Thanks.
It's beautiful...
It looks just the way I remember it.
So, you've seen it before?
Mother and I came here.
She said '' Let's go for a walk!'' and we both came here.
It's pretty, isn't it, Mitsuko? Almost frighteningly so...
But I love this scene.
The way the sun burns red as night takes control...
The intensity...
It reminds me of how it feels to love another person...
Mommy, I'm scared.
I'm sorry. But I'll tell you something, Mitsuko.
If you follow the setting sun...
I don't think I really want to know about my mother.
If I learn the truth, then...
I envy humans.
You collect so many memories from the moment you're born.
You have families. You have homes to go back to.
Jiro...
No matter what they are, they're memories from your life.
That's something I don't have...
The temperature is dropping.
Humans have to be careful not to catch colds.
Thank you.
I'm glad you're here,Jiro.
If I was alone, I probably would have just run away.
I'm glad, too.
Since you're here, I've decided not to run anymore.
Let's go back. The sun's set...
If you follow the setting sun...
...you'll find the city where I was born.
It's near the sea, and it's a very peaceful place.
I want to go back there, someday...
If I ever can go back.
That's right...
Mother said she wanted to go back to where she was born.
Do you suppose...?
We'll go and check it out tomorrow, Mitsuko.
Mother might know where Father is being held.
It's getting late, but thanks for coming with me.
Wow, I never thought I'd make friends in a place like this!
I'm really happy!
'' Friends?''
Well, aren't we? We're all friends, right?
What is a ''friend''?
We don't know what that is.
Um... Hm... Let's see...
You know, people you play with.
Don't you have any other friends?
No, we don't.
It's always just been the three of us.
Huh? What about your family?
It's always just been us.
Just Kuuya and Kaito and Riku.
Oh, I see...
Hello?
Mitsuko! Thank goodness!
I kept calling but no one was there, so I was starting to panic!
Etsuko? What's wrong?
This is major! Masaru's disappeared!
It looks like he went after you two.
Masaru...
And you're sure he's headed here, right?
Yeah. The boss went after him, but Masaru may already be there.
I see. We'll start looking around here, too.
''Tokiwa Cottages''
I found it! This is it!
Masaru!
There's no need to hurry.
Yes, no need to hurry.
Masaru!
Jiro!
Masaru!
Mitsuko, stay back!
Too bad. I'd hoped Masaru would help us a bit more.
But no matter. Leading us to Kikaider was enough.
See? Even Riku's thanking you.
What's wrong? Kuuya! Kaito! What are you talking about?!
Now we can carry out Professor Gill's orders.
You're Professor Gill's robots?!
Wait, they're my friends! They're not bad guys!
You aren't, right?!
We had fun, Masaru.
It really was fun.
But orders are orders.
Kikaider must be destroyed.
Kuuya! Kaito!
Riku!
Stop this! I don't want to fight you!
You don't want to do this...
...in front of your friend Masaru, either, do you?!
Why not? Those are our orders.
Professor Gill told us to eliminate...
...Komyoji's daughter and son as well if they interfered.
That's not true!
We robots do not lie.
We cannot lie.
We enjoyed playing with you, Masaru...
...so don't interfere and we won't kill you.
Stop it!
Masaru!
Please don't shoot!
Riku!
Masaru...
Mitsuko, get Masaru out of here!
Jiro, wait! Don't fight!
Stop it! Stop it, please!
Jiro! Go for it while it's linking up!
Kuuya! Kaito!
Kaito...
Kuuya...
Why...?
Why did this have to happen...?!
Masaru!
Jiro, I hate you! I told you not to fight them!
Kuuya and Kaito and Riku were my friends!
So, why...? Why...?!
WHY?!

NEXT EPISODE
A cold night. The snow quietly falls.
The frozen past begins to melt...
False compassion.
Calculated warmth.
The sight of a mother, unchanged...
Just as she appears in familiar memories.
But an icy heart cannot be opened.
