the mayhem, methodical mayhem, over the course of 15 minutes. the heroic actions of students and teachers. but what they do not know is why. it was just after 7:00 a.m. the bell hadn't even rung yet. at franklin regional high school near pittsburgh, when suddenly -- >> i don't know what i got going down at the school here. but i need some help asap. >> reporter: sophomore, alex hribal, allegedly goes on a rampage, dressed in black and totes two eight-inch to ten-inch kitchen knives. by 7:10, authorities on alert. witnesses described a shocking scene of blood and terror, as the suspect makes his way from the science area toward the front of the building, stabbing students at random. all the time, not saying one word. >> i saw another kid get sliced in the face. as soon as i saw the blood everywhere, i ran to the office. and said someone's getting stabbed.

>> my best friend, he stepped in front of me. and in the meantime, he got stabbed in the back. protecting me. you couldn't step a single place without pretty much stepping in blood. >> reporter: one quick-thinking teenager, nate scimio pulled the fire alarm. >> nate stepped right in front of us and completely took the hit for us. >> it's unreal how he -- his instinct was to jump in front of me and lindsay. >> reporter: something the school trained to do in an emergency. hearing it, students spilled out of the school to safety. by 7:15, the ordeal comes to a dramatic end. ian griffin said he saw hribal stab a campus security officer before the school's assistant principal, sam king, seen in this yearbook photo with other faculty, took him down. >> mr. king charged at him and tackled him. >> reporter: in the end, 21 students and that school security officer were either slashed or stabbed. >> we're advised that one of the victims or two of the victims are still pretty critical.

>> reporter: hribal also treated for minor injuries. he was still wearing his hospital gown after 6:30 p.m., when he's arraigned, charged as an adult, with 4 counts of attempted criminal homicide, 21 counts of aggravated assault and a single count of carrying a weapon on school property. ten people were hospitalized overnight. four of them still in critical condition. we learned minutes ago, that one of them went back into surgery about 1:00, 2:00 this morning. and as for that suspect, police say he is not saying anything, george, at this time. george? >> okay, ron. we're learning more about him, though. abc's pierre thomas is also in murrysville, and he has that. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. the young man is being held at the correctional facility behind me on suicide watch, after a day so bloody, no one can believe it.

alex hribal in handcuffs. only 16. charged as an adult. accused of a cold-blooded stabbing spree that sent his school into chaos. witnesses say he was expressionless, no emotion. calmly attacking in an explosion of violence. when apprehended, he allegedly told police he wanted to die. his stunned father, only offer well-wishes to the wounded. >> my prayers go out to everyone who was injured today. and hope they recover as quickly as possible. >> reporter: a family attorney telling abc news, that hribal's parents describe him as a good student, who had never been in trouble, with no history of psychiatric problems. they said he looks young for his age. but that he mingled well with other children. but some of hribal's classmates disagreed. one of them telling us, he seemed nerdy, but with a dark side. >> he was like nice, and a little understood. but there was a disturbing twist about him. i thought he had a different side to him that no one knew. >> reporter: his calm demeanor during the rampage, like so many troubled young men of mass violence before him.

columbine, paducah, kentucky, and sandy hook in newtown, connecticut. unlike many episodes of mass violence, this was different. the suspect used not guns, but two knives. >> anytime you use a knife in an attack, it's much more personal. you literally have to be on top of somebody. >> reporter: last night, the fbi seized hribal's computer and searched his home in a hunt for a motive. police say they're investigating reports he may have placed a threatening phone call to a classmate the night before the rampage. with no clear motive, police are looking into whether the suspect was bullied. they need to know why so much rage. george? >> thanks, pierre. we are joined now by alex hribal's attorney. patrick tomassy. thank you so much for joining us this morning. has your client given you any sense at all of why he did this? >> quite frankly, george, yesterday, i only got to spend

about 20 minutes with him before his arraignment. we were looking for him most of the day to find out where the police had him. at this point, he's confused, scared, depressed. you know, the next few days, we'll try to figure out what the heck happened here. >> i assume your client is not denying he did this. does he understand what he did? >> i think he understands what he did. i don't think he, at this point, understands the gravity of what he did. i don't think he realizes how severely injured some of these people are. and hopefully, there's no death involved in any of these. we're praying that everybody is all right. >> has he expressed any remorse? >> we didn't have a chance to talk that much about it.

he's more confused and frightened. everything happened so quickly. he was taken into custody and taken to the hospital. and so, i'm sure that as he wakes up this morning, he'll start to sink in where he is now. and what's going to happen to him. >> i know you're going to try to move this case to juvenile court. isn't that going to be difficult? under pennsylvania law he can be tried as an adult. >> well, under pennsylvania law, he is charged as an adult and can be tried as an adult. and the burden is on the defense to try to convince a judge to send it to the juvenile system, where there would be better -- for rehabilitation purposes. so, we're going to try to do that. they would have jurisdiction over him until he's 21 years old. >> i talked to two students earlier this morning. they said they saw no indication at all that he'd been bullied.

do you have any? >> no. no. we have heard that rumor also. at this point, no. but you know, we're very early on in this, george. i'm going to spend a lot of time with this young man and try to figure out what we're going to do with this whole thing. >> and from that, what's your best sense of what kind of defense you can mount right now? psychological defense? >> i would assume so, yes. depending upon what the mental health experts tell me. right now, i'm trying to find someone who wants to become involved with this family and this young man. and i'm sure they'll have that by the end of the day today. >> i know you've also spent some time with alex's parents. do they have anything they want the public to know right now? >> they want to know that everybody should know how horrified they are by this. they send their best wishes to anybody involved in this. they could not have predicted this was going to happen.

they don't understand how this occurred. they haven't seen their son yet. i'm hoping to get them to see their son today. >> mr. thomassey, thanks very much for your time this morning. >> you're welcome. you're welcome. >> our thoughts go out to all of those families in murrysville, pennsylvania. now, to the latest on the search for flight 370 and the new underwater signal detected this morning. abc's david kerley has the very latest from washington right now. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. this latest signal was picked up by an aircraft. they aren't sure if it's from the black box which would help narrow the search. and this morning, we're going to take you to the bottom of the indian ocean, to the area where they are looking. it's not flat. there are ridges and valleys here. you can see how deep some of these are. but the area they're looking at is right up here, on the northern edge of this plateau. this morning, listen to some of "the ocean shield's" actual recordings of the four ping detections.

experts say that is a manmade signal and consistent with a black box recorder. the 777 carries two. officials say one of these plains, which have been dropping listening buoys in the area, picked up a signal. but they're not sure if it, too, is manmade. with 16 miles between two of the detections, each ping will narrow the area they will have to map. >> they've taken an area that was somewhat the size of pennsylvania, and got it down to a county size. >> reporter: but that is still a large area for this robot, the bluefin-21, to map the ocean bottom. as this map shows, the area they're looking at is not flat. it appears to be a gradual north slope of this plateau, nearly 15,000 feet below the surface. officials have decided to race against the life of those batteries, hoping for a few more transmissions from the pingers, narrowing the search. the bluefin, which travels very slowly as it uses its sonar to map the bottom, hasn't even been in the water yet. >> just takes time. the smaller the area, the better.

it reduces the time you have to search back and forth. >> reporter: but having an indication of where the jetliner may be on the bottom, has allowed searchers to look at the ocean currents. and they're sending planes miles to the northwest of the underwater search, hoping they can find some debris on the surface of this vast ocean. so, this morning, the australians are listening to what that plane heard a bit ago. if it is the black box, it's one more piece of data that will help pinpoint the wreckage. george, i should mention, they're bringing a british ship back up here to where "the ocean shield" is working. it had been down south where the chinese thought they heard something. and they'll have two listening ships within the area within a day or so. >> let's hope they're zeroing in. david, thanks very much. now, to the bizarre kidnap and rescue story. a military contractor with high security clearance, abducted five days ago, rescued overnight by the fbi. abc's martha raddatz has the latest from washington. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is a kidnapping that has been kept very quiet. but the man, frank jansen, who

was reportedly working as a military contractor here in washington, d.c., was rescued from an apartment in atlanta. he has been missing for nearly a week. grabbed after returning from a bike ride. when his wife returned later, she noticed blood on the doorstep and called to report he was missing. but the team that rescued him is what is raising eyebrows this morning. it is an elite team. a national level counterterrorist unit, normally called in for any extraordinary hostage crisis or very complex fbi cases. george? >> they say this has no connection to his job. >> reporter: exactly. he reportedly worked on missile defense and had that high security clearance. but this morning, asked why the elite team was called. an fbi spokesman said, it was a very big deal. and if anytime a threat to human life is at stake. but no more information about the motive of this kidnapping. >> a lot more questions there. okay, martha, thanks very much. let's go to dan abrams. he's in with the top stories.

>> we begin with a new report that russia withheld vital intelligence on one of the boston marathon bombing suspects, possibly keeping the fbi from foiling the attack. russian officials reportedly refused to share key details about tamerlan tsaranev, including an intercepted conversation he had with his mother about islamic jihad. according to "the new york times," an inspector general's review found the fbi did all it could based on the available intelligence. a manhunt under way for the hit and run driver who police say caused a car to crash into this day care in orlando, killing a 4-year-old girl, and injured more than a dozen other children. police say the suspect later ditched his damaged suv, rented a black mazda. they believe he may be headed to the airport. he's been arrested eight times before, including for a previous hit-and-run. in new mexico, a medical helicopter crashed on to the roof of this hospital in albuquerque, just moments after dropping off a patient. everyone survived. witnesses say they felt a strong

gust of wind right before the crash. a close call in texas. a driver suddenly saw this cement truck out of control, coming straight at him. that camera cuts out just before the impact. now, both drivers survived. believe it or not, with just minor injuries. the truck driver was ticketed for running a red light. a wild shoot-out inside this motel in philadelphia. two men trade shots as they run through the halls while innocent bystanders run for their lives. one man fires blindly around a corner. both suspects are on the run this morning. new questions this morning about some popular flu drugs on which the government has spent more than $1 billion. a new study says drugs like tamiflu could lead to side effects, including nausea and depression. the study says drinking clear fluids and liquids may be just as effective in treating flu symptoms. the atlanta braves say they

will never set fireworks off from the top of their scoreboard again. that's because the pyrotechnics set the american flag on fire before their home opener. the team says the flag was flame-retardant. apparently not. it burned anyway. and finally, next time you think about parking in front of a fire hydrant, keep this bmw in mind. the owner took a gamble. after all, what are the chances they'll actually need to use the hydrant, right? well, later in the night, a fire broke out across the street. boston fire department did not hesitate to bust through the car windows and weave the hoses from the hydrant straight through the car. >> keep that image in mind. >> the fact that it's a beemer, that's part of what makes it fitting. >> thank you, dan. now, to that family who was saved at sea, rescued with their sick toddler in dramatic fashion from their crippled sailboat by the navy and the coast guard.

this morning, the family is back safe on land. bazi kanani has the story. >> reporter: this morning, the kaufman family is on dry land, after more than three days on a navy warship. back in san diego, the cbs affiliate caught up with the family on their way to a doctor's appointment where the dad said they're doing well. the end of a harrowing ordeal that began when their 1-year-old, lyra, became sick, while stranded at sea, more than 900 miles off the coast of mexico. >> it was a blessing for us to be able to rescue those children. and my whole crew they touched our hearts. they really did. >> reporter: the national guard medics who first flew in, parachuting down into the pacific ocean to stabilize the baby, said the parents reached out at the right time. the kaufmans sent a distress signal from their sailboat, when sick lyra did not respond to antibiotics. >> the sickness spiral, we have to call it, wasn't quite on death's door yet. but a couple more days, she

would have been. >> reporter: the kaufmans, facing a torrent of criticism for taking such young children on an around-the-world sailing trip. on twitter, dad eric kaufman did not defend his family's decision. but instead, focused on their military heroes. tweeting, words can't express my appreciation. and those rescuers are walking tall this morning. >> my guys built a crib, they built a makeshift crib. they made baby food. we got clothes for these folks. i cannot be more proud of my crew. these guys are awesome. >> reporter: for "good morning america," bazi kanani, abc news, san diego. >> they are heroes, indeed. and time to check in on the weather with ginger zee. it's cool this morning. but we hear it's going to warm up. we like those words. >> it's the time of year that the sun just works. if you're doing some spring skiing, it will feel great. look at this picture from vermont. jay peak resort.

>> matt, thank you very much. dan abrams is here for more on this. the prosecutor being tough on pistorius. also honing in on these text message messages. >> some are very incriminating. at one point she said she's scared at him. she's getting bogged down in some minutiae about the text but there's very valid points. in particular, oscar pistorius saying in response to why she said i'm scare of you sometimes. she said she was scared about her feelings about me. >> the prosecutor is very effective, saying how mad he got when she was splitting. >> he's also h focusing on the

guns and ammunition charges. he's not admitting when a gun went off in a restaurant that was in his hand, that he pulled the trigger. he's not admitting that ammunition that is illegal found in his house, is legally his responsibility. >> it's his father's, correct. >> that's right. again and again, he's denying responsibility. and keep in mind, that could be problematic more broadly in the context of the murder case, as well. >> and there's more to come in cross-examination. dan abrams, thank you. to the loss of the ultimate warrior, james helwig. the hall of fame wrestler died suddenly just days after making his first appearance at a wwe event in almost two decades. john muller has the story. >> reporter: decked out in neon face paint, the ultimate warrior was a high-octane, larger than life, ruler of the ring in the '80s and '90s. >> speak to me, warrior. >> reporter: but during one of his first wwe appearances in years, monday night, fans couldn't help but notice the 54-year-old seemed weak when delivering what now seems like an eerie premonition.

this morning, the popular pet harnesses that so many people use when driving with their dogs. now, though, some may not be providing the protection you expect. and abc's mara schiavocampo is here with more on this. mara, do explain. >> reporter: it was estimated that 84% of dog owners drive with their pooch. and lots of pet owners products promise to keep their pet safe while traveling. one organization is putting those claims to the test. dogs, our best friends and travel buddies. to keep them safe while riding shotgun, many travel experts recommend things like harnesses and crates. so, should you do it? "gma" investigates has learned those so-called safety products may not provide all the protection they claim. while many manufacturers claim to test their products, there are currently no uniform performance standards for pet travel safety products. in a first of its kind study, the center for pet safety, in

partnership with subaru of america, have been testing dog harnesses. and the results are downright scary. >> there's no guarantee that the product is going to hold up in an accident. >> reporter: at the same facility used by the department of transportation, they tested seven popular dog harnesses. using a specially designed weighted test dogs. with a collision at 60 miles per hour, and only two brands provided adequate protection. many of the others resulted in, quote, catastrophic failure. one harness tears. another breaks. and in the worst case, one comes off completely, sending the test dog spinning through the air. eugene and chris thought their two dogs were safe when strapped in the back with this seatbelt attachment. but last october, eugene was broadsided while driving with the dogs, and the attachment failed.

mojo suffered a spinal injury and was paralyzed on his left side. >> i was devastated. he was so helpless. he was just laying in the crate and he couldn't do anything. >> reporter: but cps says it's not just harnesses that fail. this never-before-scene video obtained exclusively by "gma" investigates, shows cps' crash test of a wired dog crate. the results were devastating. >> the dog would not have survived. in a statement, the american pet products stated they don't have a formal position on the report. but supports the effort to improve an enhanced pet safety. as for mojo, he's getting his back. his paralysis turned out to be temporary. and he's learning how to walk again with physical therapy twice a week. >> he looks like he's ready to rock and roll. >> reporter: but emotionally, they are still healing. >> i was angry because you start out with the intent to get something to make your pet safe. >> reporter: should you or shouldn't you? well, surprisingly cps says the answer is you should. restraining your dog in the car keeps them from becoming a heavy

projectile in an accident, which is key to protecting human passengers. clearly, still, a lot of improvement is needed when it comes to animal safety. by the way, cps says the top performing product in that test was the sleepy pod click-it utility. that's the one that provided adequate protection. >> these are family members. >> the pets are like family for so many of us. >> thank you so much. coming up here, it's not just kate setting trends. why prince george is igniting quite the fashion frenzy during the royal trip abroward. and new research is showing that putting on the pounds is not a paradox when it comes to shaping up and living longer. that putting on the pounds is not a paradox when it comes to shaping up and living longer.

we begin with america's favorite comedy duo. amy poehler is said to be in talks to play tina fey's sister in "the nest." in this comedy, the siblings find out the house they were raised in is being sold. they go home for one final weekend to bond, badger and maybe grow up. no release date yet. but it has been six years since we saw the pair on the big screen together in "baby momma." >> that's right. they're so good together. >> six years ago. wow. >> let's make that happen. >> cool. and then, speaking of zen, a horse is a horse, of course, of course. unless of course the horse is yoga. we've seen pregnancy yoga. baby yoga. i'm not sure we've seen this, though. george, this is for you. >> how did he do that? >> the horse is doing yoga. >> the guy's doing yoga.

>> the horse is, too. in argentina, trainers use yoga to train wild horses. all of the things yoga does for us, they believe it does for horses, as well. and horses lose their fear and become trusting and loyal. >> here's my question. how do you do that the first time? >> yeah. >> with care. >> and with a wild horse. >> panicked. >> that's incredible. >> what is the name of that move? >> there can be a lot of creative moves. >> it's hard to know. we have a new word for you. nay-maste. nay-maste. >> nay-maste. >> thank you. >> got it. >> spent a lot of time on that. and finally, remember cooper and daisy stopping by the mcdonald's drive-through? let's see the video. you'll recall this. cooper and daisy. little pick-me-up. cooper needed to work on portion control. and perhaps his patience. i decided he could learn a thing

or two from misha, who deserves a metal for her patience. she knows she can eat the treat when her owner says okay. check it out. >> pencil. kitchen sink. kitten. cheesecake. licorice. okay. >> that's great. i love that. >> well done, misha. that is "pop news." >> great, lara. thank you very much. that brings us to the question of the morning, not from misha, i don't think. but can you be fat and fit? one doctor says yes in the controversial new book called "the obesity paradox." when thinner means sicker and heavier means healthier. our dr. besser here to weigh in on that. but reena ninan sat down with the man behind the theory.

>> reporter: you've seen them on the red carpet and the runway. the supersvelte figures so many of us long to duplicate. what if we told you this woman might be more fit than some of those size 2s? in his controversial new book, "the obesity paradox," dr. carl lavie wants americans to rethink their outlook on weight and stop fearing fat. >> linebackers in the nfl would be considered obese. by the bmi method and they have hardly any body fat. they're almost all muscle. >> reporter: bmi measures how overweight you are by using your height and weight. 25 and higher, you're overweight. 30 and up, you're obese. jessica klinger says her bmi is about 33, which falls into the obese category. but dr. lavie says that may not be a bad thing. >> it may be, in some ways, having more fat may help a person be able to fight a disease.

if someone's already normal weight or even worse, if they're underweight, they just don't have the reserve. >> reporter: still, some health care experts are critical of lavie's approach. do you worry that you're giving people false hope? that it's okay to be obese? to be a little fat? to have that steak or that chocolate cake? >> it's not doomsday. if they don't lose that last 20 or 30 pounds, they can still be very healthy, particularly if they stay out of the low fitness category. >> reporter: jessica says she struggled with weight most of her life. but today she feels fit. even exercising up to nine hours a week. >> i try to do whatever i can to stay active throughout the day so i can become the best me i can be. >> reporter: if you're overweight, how can you tell if you're fit? dr. lavie has a simple test. >> somebody who can walk a mile in 15 minutes has a good level of fitness. >> reporter: of course, dr. lavie agrees each person should be considered individually. but the bottom line, he says, sometimes heavier does mean

healthier. for "good morning america," reena ninan, abc news, new york. let's talk to our chief health and medical editor, dr. richard besser about all this. a little reality check? >> yes, you can be fat and fit. but the chances of being healthy go way down. we know as your weight goes up, your risk of heart disease, diabetes, those things go up, as well. i think it's important, though, that regardless of what your weight is, you want to be as fit as possible. >> what do you make of this whole bmi thing? he was referencing thing, muscle weighs more than fat. you can't necessarily tell. >> i don't buy this. bmi is not a perfect measure. as your bmi goes up, you're more than likely to be obese. if you're a trained athlete, you're going to have a high bmi. you don't need your bmi to tell you that you're fit. if you have a high bmi and you can't see your toes, you have a problem there. it's not perfect. >> if you have a low bmi, it doesn't mean you're totally safe. >> that's the important thing. if you're very thin but you don't have any muscle tone,

you're not healthy. if you have an illness, it's going to hit you for a loop. you want to have a little reserve. you want to be able to walk a mile in 15 minutes. you want to go up two flights of stairs without getting winded. and be able to carry your groceries. >> a mile in 15 minutes is a standard? >> i don't -- you won't see that on any official fitness test. but if you can't do that, that's a pretty low bar there. >> you think bmi is still a good measure? >> i think it's useful. you want to track that and rely on that. you can have a normal bmi and not be fit. you want to make sure -- my bottom line on this is that you want to eat right, you want to exercise regularly. everything in moderation. you want to be as fit as you can be at whatever weight you are. it's not -- it's not all about getting thin. it's about being healthy. and that's an important takeaway here. >> it sure is. >> dr. besser, thanks so much, as always. now, to the royal road trip through new zealand and australia. kate, will, george, making headlines everywhere they go. and as usual, the princess'

outfits are causing a fashion frenzy. so are prince george's, even. abc's cecilia vega is in new zealand with the very latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, amy. good morning to you. these trips are so much about diplomacy, hand shaking and lots of royal waving. but really, we're watching the one thing, the fashion. another kate sighting. another fashion frenzy. the duchess going glam overnight at the first state reception of this royal tour down under. her jenny packham dress with a beaded fern on the soldier, a nod to new zealand's national symbol. >> women around the world look to her to know what to wear. as soon as kate wears something, it's immediately sold out. >> reporter: just hours after she wore this tory burch dress to a royal play date in new zealand with prince george on wednesday, it royally sold out. $450 each, nowhere in stock. whether there is hobnobbing with "the lord of the rings" director, peter jackson, who joined the couple at an aviation museum earlier in the day, or

laying a wreath to commemorate world war i, this has been a trip of fashion hits. she is princess perfection. looking strikingly similar to a certain other princess. kate landing in new zealand this week, regal in red. princess diana, landing here three decades ago. coincidence? >> there's no doubt that kate is very conscious of her history and very conscious of her mother-in-law. >> reporter: kate's fashion accessory of choice, a little bling. the palace requested these from this shop in new zealand. the price, $600. now, there's a new fashion icon in the family. from the $15 gap pants that kate reportedly bought for prince charming for the trip. to the $100 overalls for his first official tour of duty. one thing is certain, baby george likes his boy shorts, just like his dad did on his first trip down under. >> i hope that george doesn't keep you up. he has been known to be

particularly vocal at 3:00 a.m. and i swear i had him doing the haka this morning. >> reporter: oh, and yes. william is here, too. he wore a nice suit. fashion is definitely front page news here. i don't know about you guys. you won't be seeing me in one of the pillbox hats anytime soon. about that bling, what do you think, guys? can i put that on my expense report? >> let me know how that works for you. >> a little jackie o. there. >> her fashion choices have been fantastic. it's amazing how people know who the designer is and everything sells out. speaking of selling out, lara and dan have some things that might do that. >> we're very excited about tory's picks this morning. the bargains don't get anything better than this. everything tory has is $10 or less. get online, goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! to get the deals. they will not last. you'll find the promo codes, the links, everything you need.

ginger? you want to talk about the gorgeous weather in new york? >> the perfect weather. in case you missed it, these are the dolls that are actually from the ride. >> really? >> you go around. nobody told me not to. they are the ones that sing "it's a small world," in their language. just a little piece of home. we want to give you a worldwide forecast on this special day. how about we check that forecast around the world. gorgeous graphics made by samantha and max. we fly to tokyo, to paris. and we check in on those numbers. anaheim, california, today, another -- i like that background music. close to 90. paris, france, right there in the low to mid-60s. they all look nice. and then, the april heat. check out the numbers as we burst into april. boston, you're in the low 60s by the time we end the workweek. and you'll stay real warm. richmond, it all looks so good. i'm going to let them sing good morning. marine layer clouds will

evaporate by noon, pull back to the coast and stay there with mid-60s through san francisco, mid-60s to mid-70s around the bay and near 80 in inland areas. temperatures just get cooler >> we're just going to let them keep singing. you're right. it's a little bit like a lullaby. >> it's beautiful. thank you, ginger. coming up, the one and only kevin costner is with us live, on "good morning america." >> i don't care if you're upset. if you're upset, call your agent.

we all remember kevin costner's take on "bull durham," "field of dreams," "for love of the game." and in "draft day" he is under the clock to pick the right players. even from his mom. take a look. >> hi, mom. >> you sold a cow for magic beans. >> how does the entire world already know about this, mom? >> because monty max just tweeted it. >> he tweeted it? >> yeah. >> you're on twitter? >> you're not? >> and kevin costner joins us now. i love the start of this movie. this guy is having the worst day. >> it starts off a little bit good. he sees his girlfriend in the shower. and that's it. that's it for him. then, the talking heads get to him. his girlfriend wants to have a giant discussion about something

that's important to them. he asks, because it's such an important day, can we maybe -- >> table this? >> yeah. and she says, no. right away, you're dealing with a real couple. and his day doesn't get any better than that. and it winds its way down to a really exciting conclusion. >> it's amazing the way the movie picks up the pace as you're going along. and the clock is ticking. and this guy has to make the pick that's going to save his job. >> it's a pot that starts boiling. and it talks about all of us, about how we react under pressure. and under pressure, are we going to actually serve our own ideas or are we going to serve conventional wisdom? and what is everybody's wrong? in sports there's an instinctual thing. and what's cool about this movie -- and didn't think we were going to be able to do this. and i thought, how is he going to get out of this? he didn't have a grand plan. he had been making mistakes all

day. and by the end of the movie, other people start making mistakes. >> you see that moment when he gets it. he knows the ideas in his head. and it's true to the details, as well. real teams. the nfl's behind it. >> yeah. wouldn't have done this movie if it wouldn't have been the nfl. they kind of came in. and we just know the brand they've done. and i wouldn't have done it with the fake names, the fake jerseys. it wouldn't have been the same for me. it would have still been a great script. but the nfl's blessing really brought this thing together. >> jennifer garner was here yesterday. she had so much fun getting to work with you. >> well, she's so -- she's such a great actress. you get seduced by how fun she is and how all-american she is. but what happens is sometimes that clouds what a really technically good actor she is. she's really good. >> she's fantastic. and, boy, you are busy right now. four movies coming out this year, at least. including "jack ryan: shadow recruit." and i didn't know this before.

you had to turn down 20 years ago, "hunt for red october" for "dances with wolves." >> yeah, i turned it down because i had this movie. they thought i was being obstinate. i simply wasn't. i postponed "dances with wolves" for one year. finally i committed. i was going to make this little movie. that's how everybody thought about it. i pushed everything i had in the middle of a thing. and didn't blink. and went off and made that movie. "hunt for red october" was something that people wanted to happen. and i did, too. they were offering me more money than i had ever seen. i'm not a fool. >> couldn't have done much better than "dances with wolves." >> more money than i've ever seen or risk your house? gee, kev. what a bonehead move. >> it paid off. >> it paid off. but you have to understand, i went to bed that night going, what did i just do? >> michelle on facebook wants to know, if you ever want to do a sequel to "dances with wolves"? >> a book was written called "the holy road."

i looked at it. but not really. i wanted it to match the same feeling. it doesn't have to be the same story. i guess the idea, i thought about it, probably thought about it. but you know, quickly moved on. >> and leave it where it is. >> leave it where it is. >> and "draft day" is a terrific movie. thank you for coming in. >> you're welcome. >> "draft day" opens up tomorrow. and when we come back, colin firth and jeremy irvine opening up about their new movie. thanks a lot. >> i'm ashley. >> and i'm haley. and we wanted to say, good morning, america. >> i'm julian. good morning, america. >> good morning, america.

colin firth and jeremy irvine, star in "the railway man," an incredibly moving film, based on a true story. collin and jeremy play a british prisoner of war that was

tortured in a japanese labor camp. decades later, he sets out to confront his tormentor. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> we were talking earlier. colin, this is a chapter in history that people are completely unaware of. myself included. as i watched the movie, i was moved to think i had never heard about this man, eric lomax, or what so many soldiers went through. did you have the same experience? >> i didn't know very much about it at all. it seems strangely left out of our -- not only curriculum in the schools. but out of film lore. you know, we have countless films about the second world war. but very little about what is taking place there. and given the scale of it and the number of people who died. >> and they actually called this the death railway. some people said for every railway tie laid, a man died. i want to look at the clip. you play the younger and older versions of this man. and this is at the point where eric realizes what he is facing, in terms of the terrible task ahead of him. let's take a look. >> hundreds of miles.

to burma. through mountains and jungle. the british decided that to build such a railway, it would be an act, not of engineering, but of extreme barbarity and cruelty. conditions would be such that those who did not die might well wish that they had. >> wow. jeremy, this man, eric, he wasn't a physical guy. he was an engineer. he was kind of a nerd. >> yeah. i think that's what makes this such a moving story. we're very used to seeing, you know, the arnold schwarzenegger heroes. and here, you have a very ordinary, vulnerable, young man, put into the most extraordinary and horrific circumstances you can imagine. >> colin, i want to ask, it had to be interesting playing this older/younger version. did you all collaborate on how you were going to portray this man in different phases of his

life? >> jeremy did all the work. i did what i always do. and he did colin firth better than i do. >> often when you work in a movie, it's such a lonely process. there's a rehearsal. you turn up to work and you do whatever you prepared. colin has been generous and let me share that process with him. he didn't have to do it. it was great to be there, as well. >> you have to wear contact lenses. we have different colored eyes. >> i can't get away with that. >> i didn't realize until that very moment. i want to end with this. why should people see this movie? >> well, i think that it's a part of the story of all of us. i think that, you know, people are still coming home from wars, as we speak. and it did -- it's very, very hard to come home, i think, emotionally. and this has already had a

response from people who have come back, english soldiers coming back from afghanistan and seeing that there is -- the film has shown them a man who is telling a true story of himself, that there is actually a future beyond the scars you bring home. >> the sacrifice involved. we should honor them all. colin firth, jeremy irvine, thank you both for dropping by. "the railway man" is in theaters on friday. as we go to break, a sneak peek of tonight's big episode of "scandal." >> i don't know what you're talking about. >> did you ask about a paternity test for your son? >> like i said, i don't know what you're talking about. >> you don't know what i'm talking about? leo burgen. sally langsten. the people who stand between fitts and four more years know what i'm talking about. did you or did you not ask the white house doctor about a paternity test? >> which one is andrew's? >> what? >> jerry or karen? which kid is his? or is it both?

so yso you can happily let the grlife get in the way, while planning for tomorrow. so you can finish the great american novel banking for the life you have investing for the life you want chase. so you can don't. i want you to be kind.ff i wantsuper o be smart. super smart.

good morning. i'm kristen sze. the san francisco giants close out their series with the arizona diamondbacks at at&t park tonight. we're hoping to bounce back and hoping to find out about the weather, mike. >> let's hope they can play a little better in the cooler weather. 62 at 7:15 driving down to 57. we're definitely going to see an increase in clouds as the game unfolds. here's your accuweather seven-day forecast, warmest today, a general cooling trend but dry all seven days. have a good one. we still have a sig alert in oakland along 880 in the northbound direction but a tow truck is on its way right at high street. we're still left with major backups. international boulevard might be your best bet. >> thank you.
