sling shotting through the solar system to catch up with a comet known as 67-b. rosetta's plan is to deploy a small craft on the surface and unlock the secrets of an ancient space rock. researchers believe it holds clues about the dawn of the solar system, maybe even life on earth. >> 4.5 billion-year-old time capsule, telling us, hey, what were conditions like when the earth itself was just forming. that's huge. >> reporter: rosetta is already picking up this mysterious, unexplained singing noise from the comet -- and sending back comet selfies, boldly going where not even captain kirk has gone before. >> higher. >> reporter: "star trek" legend, william shatner, even sending along his good wishes. >> good luck, rosetta. i'm so excited and wish you good luck.

>> reporter: mission control will have to wait about 28 minutes to know if it landed okay. because that's how long it takes for the signal to get all of the way back to earth. and soon after that, we hope to get our first pictures ever from the surface of a comet. >> cannot wait for that. you knew you had to get "star trek" in there. thank you, clayton. and the bold robbery in manhattan. a jewelry store robbery, but the criminals escaped. tom llamas is here with the story. good morning, tom. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. this block is one of the jewelry capitals of the world. $24 billion in sales every year. that robbery happened just behind me. police say one of the crooks dressed as a delivery man, but it happened up on the eighth floor. so, how did these jewel thieves get away? one working theory, jumped rooftop to rooftop in a batman-like escape. a brazen heist in broad daylight in new york's diamond district. >> male robbed at gunpoint. >> reporter: as two heavily armed men storm into this building which houses a watch store on the eighth floor.

are reports this morning it was in the millions. those two jewel thiefs, still at large. george? >> right in the middle of the parade downtown. it was crawling with cops. just incredible. >> thank you. turning now to the navy s.e.a.l. who claims to be the one who shot and killed osama bin laden. telling his story in a television interview. he revealed fascinating new details about the mission and what he did right before leaving. martha raddatz is in washington this morning. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning. former navy s.e.a.l. rob o'neill says he has thought about the mission every day since that may day in 2011, trying to figure out whether it was the worst thing he has ever done, or the best thing he has ever done. the mission, high risk. the command, take out the most wanted man in the world, osama bin laden. and rob o'neill wanted to be one of the ones to do it, no matter how dangerous. >> the analyst told me, if you want to get a shot at bin laden, he's on the third floor. so, i actually talked myself out

of a team leader spot so i could stay on the helicopter, and then go to the roof, and then that was what they call the martyrs brigade. >> reporter: in a special on fox news channel overnight, o'neill acknowledged that the operation felt like a one-way mission, no one knowing if they would come back home, but all committed to the task. >> we're going to die eventually. this is a good way to go. and it's worth it to kill him, because he's going to die with us. >> reporter: and right before the mission was set to launch, a phone call to his father to say good-bye. >> i'm the last one he calls, and he's checking in. kind of thanking me for a lot of things. >> he told me later he was in his truck at the walmart down the street here. after i hung up the phone, he couldn't get out of his car for 20 minutes. >> there was something in the tone. >> o'neill even writing letters to his young children just in case. >> it was more of an explanation why we went, why it was noble,

and why i am not afraid. it was sad. a few times the tears hit the pages. >> reporter: but when he came face-to-face with bin laden, he was thinking only of the mission, certain, he says, that his was the last face he saw before he fired the shots that killed the terrorist mastermind. and the letters to his kids, when he returned, he shredded them. >> lara and george? >> glad he shredded those letters. >> indeed. thank you so much. i want to get to today's other top stories with amy. good morning. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with the big news overnight from president obama's visit to china. the u.s. and china announcing a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. president obama calling it a major milestone. but not everything went so smoothly at a news conference with china's president today. abc's jim avila was there. >> reporter: it was to end with ruffles and flourishes. toast to the landmark global warming agreement, but nearly overshadowed by a diplomatic

snafu in front of the world press. >> we have agreed to take a question from the press. >> reporter: after weeks of trying, the u.s. got china to hold an extremely rare closing news conference, with one question from the american press, provocatively choosing the "the new york times," which has been battling with china over censorship and access to ask it. and the "times" reporter pulled no punches confronting president xi. but the chinese president did not immediately answer, abruptly turning to the chinese press, without even acknowledging the american question. reporters were stunned, as was obama who looked at the press corps with a shrug, that seemed to say, what am i going to do? after several minutes much to the relief of president obama and his aides, the chinese leader did finally answer, saying the united states needs to stay out of the hong kong situation, and "the new york times," he said, causes its own problems by not following chinese law. amy? >> all right. thank you. and banks breaking overnight, five major banks fined more than $3 billion to

settle accusations they manipulated foreign exchange markets to boost profits. it was a slap on the wrist because they made a combined $337 billion last year. that fine actually equals just two days of revenue. missouri's governor announced preparations to keep the peace once the grand jury makes a giggs in the michael ground shooting case. after months of rationally charged protests, 1,000 police officers have received special training and the national guard will be on stand by. the grand jury decision on whether to charge ferguson police officer darren wilson for his death could come any day now. and a frantic scene in dallas, two city workers, breaking into the window of a truck. that was quickly sinking in a creek. their colleague was inside up to his neck in water. they cut his seat belt, pulled him out just in time. the man suffered a medical emergency before losing control of his truck. and finally, when you think of corn maze this time of year, it's supposed to be fun and games, good family fun, right?

but take a look at this corn maze. do you see a problem with it? it's unbelievably complicated. it's the world's largest corn maze. it looks like a computer chip. >> it does. >> so 63 acres, hundreds of paths. and people keep getting lost and they're actually calling 911 for help. can you imagine? calling, hi, i'm in a corn maze. i don't know how to get out. i don't know how to tell you where i am. i can't get out. so the owners have made a decision to downsize. less complicated. this is fun. shouldn't be hard. not trying to trick people here. >> when you send people in that one, you don't to want see them come out. >> lara and i couldn't make it out of one that had two turns. >> yeah. >> that's bad. >> thank you, amy. turn now to new details about the death of robin williams. a new report reveals he may have been suffering from a form of dementia that may have caused hallucinations. mara schiavocampo has the story.

>> reporter: abc news obtaining an autopsy report that reveals the comedian may have had a condition known as lewy body dementia. linked to hallucinations and unusual behaviors. williams was also diagnosed with parkinson's disease last november. >> the pathological line is a blurry line. >> reporter: according to the coroner's report, he was having a hard time sleeping and was restless. and the night before his body was discovered, he was acting strangely and reportedly placed several wrist watches in a sock, giving them to an undisclosed person as he was reportedly worried about the watches and wanted to keep them safe. the dementia is most often confirmed after death when looking at a person's brain tissue through a microscope. it can include unusual behaviors, trouble sleeping and visual hallucinations of animals or people.

as well as slowed or rigid movement, similar to those with parkinson's. his autopsy report showed he had been prescribed multiple medications before his death, some that doctors say can exacerbate symptoms in lbd patients. williams also battled alcohol, drug addiction, and depression. >> there's a voice, and it's a little quiet voice, and it goes stop. >> reporter: though he had no drugs or alcohol in his stem when he died, experts feel he may have been in a fragile mental state. now some wonder if this newly revealed condition could have played a role, too. sources close to the williams family telling abc news correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation, but it was illuminating. for "good morning america," mara schiavocampo, abc news, new york. >> very sad. all right. now to some new details. it's a bizarre story out of colorado. a man stuck in a wall at a department store for three days. workers there say they heard his cries for help, but they had no

idea where the noise was coming from. reena ninan is here with all of the details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. people come to marshall's for the deep discounts. one man dropped in and officials say he is very lucky the way it all ended out. it's the dramatic moment a colorado man is rescued from inside this department store wall after being trapped for nearly three days. >> he was desperate to get out of there. >> reporter: police say they're still investigating why 35-year-old paul fellick was at this marshall's department store in longmont, and how he ended up stuck. police say he entered the building through the roof, and fell 20 feet through a vent into the exterior and interior walls approximately 2 feet by 8 feet. >> as far as we know, no water, no communication, no food. >> reporter: store employees telling police, they heard his cries for help on monday, but couldn't figure out where the sounds were coming from, eventually alerting authorities a day later.

>> we hear a guy screaming and screaming in the back. >> he's outside, but sounds like he's inside, correct? >> and he was screaming like he was in pain. >> reporter: first responders locating the spot where he was trapped before a dozen of them equipped with sledge hammers and a circular saw, made a hole large enough for him to crawl through. finally free, he was taken to a nearby hospital. he's currently in fair condition. >> i don't think he would have been able to survive through tonight. >> reporter: authorities are still trying to figure out how he got into the crawl space from the roof. and the big question, why did he do it? police say they'll investigate the incident as a trespassing case. >> strange thing. thanks very much. >> yeah. and to ginger now, the words we have been seeing all week. >> all week. and they're finally here. it's starting to move to the south and east, that deep freeze. places like dallas this morning, waking up at the freezing mark. the earliest freeze dallas has had in 17 years. put this into motion, all the blue you see, freeze warnings and hard freeze warnings that stretch all of the way from new

in the film, you're head-to-head with katniss, the one and only jennifer lawrence. talk to us about the experience of working with her on this, the third film, installment. >> it's just been a continuum, the same from the very beginning. she's a genius, the child. she's a genius. she culls the truth from inside herself and delivers it. that's why -- susan collins wrote a wonderful series of books, but jennifer lawrence is able to catch the truth of it and deliver it. it's been fact. >> in a recent interview, you pretty much lobbied for the role of president snow. >> i don't think that actually expresses it. i asked for it. but i didn't lobby. they -- my agent sneaked me scripts from from time to time. because i like to read them. and they sent me this one. and i just wanted to be a part of it. i wanted to end my life being part of something that i thought would maybe catalyze and revolutionize young people. because they have been so dormant.

and this election, it was the lowest -- lowest voter representation in 72 years. young people have to get out. you have to get out and change things. you really do. and it's up to you. we've wrecked this world and if you're going to fix it, you have to do it now. >> and do you feel like you're in playing this character? is that -- i don't know, does it move you in some way that you will miss deeply as we move toward the last installment? >> working with jennifer and francis, and nina jacobson -- nina jacobson who said -- >> reading the lines. >> this is a call to arms. yeah, of course. but if i can just see young people catalyzed and going to the voting booth and having some kind of a revolutionary movement. not an armed revolutionary movement, but a revolutionary movement to change things up. >> president snow has spoken. listen up, everybody.

we all know steve carell as one of the funniest leading men alive. we all know steve carell as one of the funniest leading men alive. but we get a brand new look at his film, "foxcatcher." his look at john dupont who made the olympic wrestlers his life's mission. we see here what dupont's aristocratic mother thinks about

that. >> mother, i am leading men. i am training them. i am teaching them. i am giving them a dream. and i am giving america hope. >> hope? it doesn't matter. i'm glad you have your trophy. it can go in the trophy room. not in the rosemont case. i don't like the sport of wrestling as you know. it's a low sport. >> and steve carell joins us now. a little mother/son tension there. >> a little bit, yeah. >> and you are barely recognizable in that scene. >> well, bill corso designed the makeup. and he's really an artist. he's great at it. >> this story, back from the '80s and '90s, john dupont, wealthy heir to the dupont

fortune. took these brothers, mark and david schultz under his wing. these wrestlers, olympic gold medal wrestlers. and it takes a very dark turn. i was just wondering, /* what drew you to the story? >> working with bennett miller. he directed "moneyball" and "capote," and he is particular about the types of things he gets involved in. i figured if he's in, i am all in. >> he said this role was outside of your comfort zone. >> yeah. oh, for sure. i don't think i was on anybody's list for this kind of part. i wasn't campaigning for it. apparently my agent submitted my name and gave him pause and he thought about it. and he sent me the script, and we met, and he offered me the part, so -- >> and you said the chance to work with him is all i need. >> huge. yeah. and the fact -- and i didn't know if i could do it, but the fact he thought i could, was enough. >> it was clear you could do it, and this story has so many different layers to it. i was struck by how much of the

story is told without any dialogue at all and the looks and the glances. >> it's very spare. yeah. it's very economical, and in the pauses. there's a sense that you get from the movie. and i think bennett is really adept at that in particular. >> the "new yorker" calls your nose the fourth main character in the film. >> yes. >> and you know, you have some good company there. our crack research team found out, did, you know, that there are actually three other oscar winners who won with fake noses? >> really? >> can you name any of them? >> robert de niro, "raging bull." >> number one. >> i would say charlize theron, did she have a fake nose? >> no, but you're on to something there. it is a woman. >> oh, nicole kidman. >> two for two. now you have to go way back for the third.

>> olivia dehavelin. i don't know. >> jose ferrar, cyrano de bergerac. you're in excellent company. >> fantastic. yeah, fantastic. so, are you ready to go back to comedy? anything that's good. i just want to do things that are -- that are good, you know? and this definitely whet my appetite to do things that have some depth to them. i don't want to get pretentious about it. but it's fun to be a part of a movie like this. i'm proud of it. >> it was just magnificent to watch. it was just an engrossing film. i hope a lot more good things come to you. >> thank you. >> steve carell, thank you very much.
