In Today's Episode:
A woman named Diana Filip spent months befriending actress Rose McGowan, but "Diana" was an undercover operative for a private spy firm, quietly hired through Harvey Weinstein's lawyers to learn what Rose was about to reveal.
Ex-intelligence contractors were building files on accusers and reporters, contracts that listed "stopping a negative newspaper article" as an actual goal, and a model who wore a police wire, caught Weinstein on tape, and still watched the DA decline to charge.
