>> it's a world most can only dream about. a playground for the ultra rich and famous. >> in the past, people were building cathedrals and churches and hospitals and all kinds of things. to put their name on a yacht is a little bit of that as well. >> you know, everyone, i think dreams of having that way to escape the rat race. and the yacht offers the ultimate opportunity to do that. >> this is the fort lauderdale international boat show, some of the most luxurious and impressive yachts are on display as far as the eye can see. >> this is a 200 footer, so that would be a super yacht. >> dan leonard designed some of the world's most luxurious mega yachts. >> we did this one. we did this one. this one also. >> the ultimate status symbol has a price tag. >> a watch has a price tag.

nothing compares to this price tag. >> and for the richest of the rich, it's not just yachts. it's super yachts. one of the rarest super yachts. a sailing yacht worth $40 million. the bayesian. the ship dubbed unsinkable by some setting sail off the coast of sicily this august before the unthinkable happened this morning, desperate efforts to find six missing people after a luxury yacht sank 160ft down to the sea floor. >> how a boat like bayesian could have gone down so quickly. it just doesn't happen. this doesn't happen. >> even more shocking, the billionaire tech mogul who owned the ship among the missing setting off a full scale rescue mission and an investigation or ritenuto vero seemingly la sostanza di reality in question.

>> omicidio composto e naufragio con el paso. >> it's haunting and terrifying. make no mistake about it. we want to know what happened and the epic tragedy raising questions about how those once on top of the world could end up at the bottom of the sea in 16 minutes. >> there is a sort of titanic quality about it. the thrill of human achievement. and then the devastation when it goes wrong. >> the odds of what happened happening are so infinitesimal that it would not be on the tote board in las vegas. >> and if there's more to the story, it's given birth to countless conspiracy theories. >> yeah. it has. >> i've heard many that mike was close to the intelligence communities and england and the united states, and he was warehousing secret information. crazy stuff. i don't know how you make a tornado at sea because you want to get mike

lynch. >> what we're seeing now is a melding of technology and the creative industries. >> mike lynch was known as the british bill gates. >> i think it's more steve jobs. i do. mike by intelligent people was the grandfather of ai and completely changed the world with his brilliance. >> he named this boat after this mathematical approach to the world. this idea of bayesian probability. >> a billionaire, both beloved and embattled for the last few years, he'd faced the real possibility of dying in prison, accused of overinflating the cost of his company by billions. but his against all odds legal victory earlier this summer changed everything. a reversal of fortune, he pondered with danny fortson from the sunday times of london. >> and so now it's very strange. you have a new life, you know, it's. and that comes to the question you're asking me, which is what do you want to do with

your new life? >> this is a trip to celebrate this second life, as he had called it. >> i think he he needed a holiday. they were going on the boat. >> it was a beautiful sunny day when lynch and his wife angela, along with their 18 year old daughter hannah, nine guests and a crew of ten, boarded the bayesian in august. the trip, a celebration for hannah to the young poet and literature lover, was due to attend oxford in the fall. >> there's so many hyper intelligent and successful people that get where they are because they're sort of pushing other people down, but that wasn't her at all. she was sort of she was happy to be the best at something, but wanting other people to be the best in their own way and like bringing them up to unabashedly have fun to for sure. >> also on the bayesian, a group of business moguls, high powered attorneys, and their families, including a one year old baby, chris morvillo, lynch's friend and a member of his legal team, had nudged his wife nedda, a jewelry designer, to go on the trip. >> i had heard he had to do some

convincing to get nedda to go. nedda liked to travel, but nedda also liked to be at home, and she didn't want to. you know, be away from her family. >> greg morvillo is one of chris morvillo brothers. >> chris and nedda met in law school. when we would get together, they would be sitting together. his arm would be around her. they would be holding hands. >> pictures online, displaying the interior of the british flagged vessel, the six luxurious suites, the crew waiting on every need. its single aluminum mast was one of the tallest in the world, standing around 240ft like 25 stories in the air. >> it was just thrilling. it was like one of those old ships from you can imagine from history and it's this giant boat. and, you know, as you build up speed, if there's some wind, you know, you're tilting on one side. >> it was amazing, indeed. one of the nicest italian sailboats ever. >> marcello meli helped organize logistics for the trip. he says everything started out business

as usual. the bayesian arrived in the small fishing village of porticello on august 18th. it was the last full day of the trip. the guests planned to leave the yacht the following afternoon. it was a sunday and a storm was brewing. >> it was unusual to see a boat at anchor with that specific weather that was expected. we did send an email to the captain just checking. what was the plan and if he required any service, any assistance. >> meli says he never received a reply back. those on board that dazzling vessel were going to sleep for the night. the storm barreling through in the early morning of august 19th, a nearby restaurant captured the scene. intense winds whipping through, creating chaos. tracking data shows at 350 in the morning, the

superyacht was struggling, the winds sending the ship zigzagging out of control. carsten bonner was captaining a nearby sail yacht, the sir robert baden-powell. >> we noticed the weather coming and when it appeared we our engine to keep the ship in position and we had the other yacht behind us and. a moment later she was gone. >> this image from cctv showing the masts light disappear in the storm. being struck by what investigators believe was a downburst with winds of at least 60 miles an hour, the boat sunk backwards by the stern before tilting on its right side, plummeting onto the seabed. the bayesian was gone. >> downburst winds can oftentimes be mistaken for tornadoes because they can be

quite severe and quite scary. if you don't know what's going on, the really destructive phase of a downburst is incredibly short. that's going to be when the initial strong winds arrive, and that will only last for a minute or so. >> the 22 souls on board forced to make split second life or death decisions. among those who scrambled out alive, nine crew members and six passengers, but six passengers and one crew member were missing. among them mike lynch and his daughter hannah. >> we were just watching the news and praying. i just couldn't bear the thought of them being trapped and the marvelous chris and nedda. >> when i got the call, it was obviously disorienting. i, i didn't know quite what the hell was going on. i held it together on the phone and then got off

the phone, probably burst into tears. >> search and rescue teams descended on the scene for days, but all of those missing did not make it. the bodies of the passengers were all found in cabins on the left side of the ship, closest to the surface, where air bubbles would have been concentrated, according to investigators. >> there were, you know, 100ft down, 150ft down in the dark, in the cold with just, you know, with a dwindling supply of oxygen. >> i think about the last few moments for them on the ship, all the time. it's haunting. it's terrifying. and i cannot imagine what they were going through. i can't imagine how it felt or what they knew. it is impossible to wrap my mind around, but i can't stop thinking about it. >> our thanks to juju for more

permanent dread for 30 or 40 years of everyone hating the work, hating the film. international humiliation. so when it's the other side of the coin and people love it, it's a deep satisfaction. >> should we ask him for help? >> as it descends into a mind freak and heart stopping terror, it's a major challenge for heretics rising stars chloe east from the fabelmans and sophie thatcher from yellowjackets. each of them raised in the mormon faith. >> our characters specifically, we only have like a 15 page break of everything's good until it's not. i'm like, can i be this scared and cry every day? it was like this impending doom of like, i'm going to hit a wall one day. i think it really is about mapping out the fear trajectory, because if you like, started at ten, it's not interesting. so you have to lik, figure out what points make you kind of, you know, go back and

feel some things. >> what's terrifying in this film is really a man trying to disorientate destabilize two attractive young women, i think for his own personal gratification. >> perhaps you recall a fuzzier version of hugh grant from coming to glory on screen three decades ago. you're not alone, he remembers, too, starting with the 1994 smash that earned a quarter of $1 billion. >> the truth of it is, i've loved you from the first second i met you. >> and i'm very proud that we then went on to make lots of romantic comedies that people loved and watched to this day. and they're not easy with julia roberts in notting hill. >> i'm also just a girl. standing in front of a boy. >> and amid a gaggle of uk film greats in love actually, he'd shine in richard curtis written rom coms. but then grant's characters started to surface in his real life public persona.

>> that was my fault. yeah. i was tormented for being a sort of diffident, stuttery, blinking englishman. >> grant has cited this 1995 golden globes acceptance speech as an especially inauthentic moment. >> well, it's tragic how much i'm enjoying getting it. >> and then i realized, no, it's my fault, too, because it's my narcissism. everyone loves those characters. and so i'm going to do that person in interviews as well. >> after 15 years, grant says the rom coms came to a screeching halt. >> so that was one career. and then it died. just like that. i had to start again. and so i do get some satisfaction out of building up this second career of freaks and weirdos. yeah. >> from misbehavior on the upper east side in the undoing and in his home country for a very english scandal to heretic screen life on the dark side of town has suited hugh grant's

career, and the change agrees with him. we get to hear you sing a little bit in this, don't you? >> i insist on that. >> so it's in your contract. given your extensive now career singing about a boy strumming my pain with his fingers. music and lyrics i don't know how i don't know why. >> ideally, i like to dance as well. >> you don't like to dance. you don't like to dance even a little bit. i do now. >> ever since paddington two. >> oh, my god, paddington two. >> best movie ever made. i literally made you sign my dvd of paddington two and dressed up as paddington for halloween. when we were shooting one of the best moments of my life. >> what was it like to work with these two young actors and to be able to feed off of their energy and their ideas? >> i learned about ten, 15 years ago when i got a bit better at acting. take it off. the other actors just react rather than act. but to do that, you've got to have very, very good actors. and well, i did, you know,

they're absolutely brilliant. >> now 64, perhaps on the verge of award consideration for heretic, hugh grant has a brilliant future. after more than a half century of acting. how much of this goes back to your playing the von trapp sister in high school? everything. you went to an all boys school and you played a von trapp sister. he was in the sound of music, playing a von trapp sister. >> i was brigitta, my big line was, i'm brigitta, i'm 12, and all i want is a good time. i've got a good laugh. >> our thanks to chris. heretic is in theaters now. when we come back, carol jean, marc anthony and pitbull star power shining and pitbull star power shining bright at the latin grammys pso? the thousands of real people who go undiagnosed. people whose psoriasis can look very different depending on their skin tone. as the makers of tremfya®, we understand that everybody's moderate to severe
