Soon after the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York City, where Oriana happens to be living, she breaks her self-imposed silence and writes an article for the Milanese newspaper Corriere della Sera.

Lisa finally feels comfortable leaving Oriana at the hospital and goes back to the house to watch some interviews with the journalist.

Despite huge obstacles, Oriana finally manages to interview Ayatollah Khomeini. The controversial encounter contributed to making Oriana Fallaci worldwide famous.

Oriana tells Lisa about finishing her book, Un uomo (a man), and promoting it, especially in non-democratic countries. She travels to Iran in 1979 to interview the new leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, and to talk to someone who wants to translate her book.

Alekos figures out how to obtain some important evidence against the government, and discusses things with Oriana on the way to the airport, where she'll take a flight back to Italy.

Elections are held, and Panagulis becomes a member of parliament. He then has to testify at an important trial for the crimes of the junta.

After her miscarriage, Oriana goes to work in the Milan office, far from Panagulis. But then she gets some news about Greece that spurs her to action.

Oriana is having to deal with some major changes in her life that will have a long-lasting effect on her.

Alekos is having a hard time convincing others of his ideas. Oriana is under pressure from her boss. There is a lot of tension.

Oriana gets a chance to browse around in Alekos' studio before getting some sleep. The next day, she has to call the office and explain why she is still in Athens. Aleko shows up and has a surprise. He wants to enjoy his freedom, but has lots of work to do, too.

Panagulis tells Oriana about his 5 years in prison and how he survived it, including physical and psychological torture. She is riveted to the point of forgetting she has a plane to catch.

Lisa plays a tape that Oriana thought had been destroyed. It takes her back to 1973, when instead of going to Bonn, Oriana decides to go to Athens, where Panagulis has just been freed from five years in prison. She wants to interview him.

Oriana has a difficult conversation with General Loan, but manages to get out of the war zone safely. Back in the present day, she tells Lisa more about her time in Vietnam and about her relationship with François.
