From the Heart episode 11

The reporter is checking with a policeman who investigated the slimy politician's son's death so she is out of town until the next day. Mayuko is going to stay overnight at Shinichi's.

Shinichi and Mayuko talk.

Apparently Mayuko's mother is keeping her real location a secret.

Someone that knows Shinichi is building a center for disabled children in another city and wants Shinichi to come and work there.

Jun is messing things up, calling Mayuko on her cell phone and now coming to Shinichi's apartment.

Shinichi talks to the policeman and returns home to find that Mayuko has cleaned up his apartment. (I still think, especially at this point, that Shinichi should consider getting Mayuko moved somewhere else, like in protective custody. SP, for example, knows where he lives and works, where Mayuko lives, etc, and even knows Shinichi's doctor friend so I think moving her somewhere else would be a good thing to do at this point.)

They go grocery shopping and it's really funny (and some humor is needed here after the incredible intensity of the last couple episodes.)

Mayuko's mother seem them but is smiling, especially after the doctor at the hospital who is taking care of her husband spoke glowingly of Shinichi.

Rina, the reporter, has an article printed questioning whether or not the SP is guilty of murder.

Jun is the SP's younger son.

Shinichi realizes that society is trying to force autistic people to fit society, rather than accommodating society to fit autistic people. In effect, society is trying to force them into molds, to act "normal."

Jun goes to confront the SP. (Now, if you thought someone was guilty of murder and possibly a danger to your family would you walk into his office alone, unarmed, with no one knowing where you are?)

Jun took the incredibly important picture and shows SP. (Now, this puts Jun down on the mental level of one of those jellyfish floating in the aquarium at their house. DUMB. DUMB. DUMB.)

Fortunately SP doesn't have enough time to destroy the picture totally. Rina arrives, and shortly after her Mayuko and Shinichi and, thank goodness, the police detective.

The story comes out, along with a new drawing by Mayuko.

His wife one day took Jun and left him, then arranged for Mayuko's parents to adopt Jun as their own child. He says his ex-wife went along with the "accidentally drowned" story for a while, and he further admits considering killing Jun.

More police arrive.
