Will Alberto Manzi be up to the task of dealing with these rough, incarcerated boys? On his off-hours, Alberto goes to see the parish priest about a missing person.

Manzi goes to the reform school for his first day of teaching and finds out all the things he will or won't be able to do.

In Italy, at least in the past, the process of distributing teaching jobs was a real jungle, as you will see. The list, assembled by a complicated point system, involving test scores, experience, seniority, etc, was what would determine whether an aspiring teacher would have a job that year or not. Alberto Manzi knows he is qualified, but gets an unpleasant surprise at the education office.

People seem to think Alberto is a bit nuts. He's about to go on live TV, and people around him hope he doesn't botch it. The name of the TV show is Non è mai troppo tardi (it's never too late). What's implied in the title is that it's never to late to learn to read and write. In Italian, a person who never learned to read or write is called analfabeta.

Lisa and Oriana spend some moments together for the last time. Lisa asks a final question and gets an answer that greatly affects both of them emotionally.

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.

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.

Alekos and Oriana have a romantic moment but he is always thinking about his battle against the government. Oriana has her own ideas about how to run a successful resistance.
