He and McHugh turn it into a fully produced piece, but NBC is stalling. Farrow learns about more Weinstein victims and settlements, including Zelda Perkins, Donna Gigliotti and Ally Canosa. In Part II, Farrow continues reporting on the story despite serious pushback from his boss at NBC. Farrow is told by his bosses at NBC to put the story on hold, but he continues to pursue it anyway. As Farrow's research leads to real evidence in the form of a recording thanks to Ambra Gutierrez, Weinstein's makes efforts to shut the story down.
