>> osgood: >> osgood: the women accusing bill cosby of sexual assault face a long and difficult legal road. he's been criminally charged with nothing, has admitted nothing, many of the alleged offenses occurred years ago. so, the accusers say they have stories that must be told. and some of them are telling their stories to our tracy smith. >> as long as you're living in
9:33 am
this house, you are not to do any drugs. when you move into your own house, you are not to do any drugs. >> at the height of his power, bill cosby really was america's dad. on his galacticly successful show, the laughs came with lessons. on morality, responsibility, love. >> i brought home two children that may or may not be ours. >> and that makes what's happening now all the harder to comprehend. >> they had the misfortune to meet a man that they admired and thought that they could trust. bill cosby. >> an ever-widening circle of women have accused bill cosby of sexual assault. more than enough to fill the cover of new york magazine this past july. the charges have a common thread. been bill cosby drugged me, kissed me, touched me, raped me. but behind each still photo, is
9:34 am
>> call you every eight minutes. >> kuku bernard was a some time cast member on cosby's show which was taped in new york city. bernard says cosby, whom she then considered a mentor and father figure told him to meet him in atlantic city in 1909. >> he told me that he had to go to atlantic city to meet a producer that he wanted to introduce me to who would further my career. >> once there she says cosby gave her a drink that made her violently ill. then helped her to the bathroom she thought to clean up. still thinking he's this father figure. >> he's going to wash me. next thing i remember now he's not only pulling off my skirt and my jacket but also taking off my stockings and my shoes and -- i must have pass dollars out at this point because next thing i remember -- sorry. >> when she woke up naked and groggy in a hotel bathtub she says she heard cosby's voice. >> i remember him saying, are you okay, bernard?
9:35 am
then i must have passed out again in the tub naked, i'm totally naked. still don't know how i got into the tub he must have carried me or lifted me or dragged me. i don't know. >> did you think about going to the police? >> yes. i told bill cosby i would call the police. i said i would call the police. and he threatened me that if i called the police that he, the minute that i come back from the police he would go to the police and file a police report against me for false accusation and defamation. who are they going to believe, bernard, you or me? >> what did you think? who are they going to believe? >> never believe me. he was one of the most powerful men in the entertainment industry he was a moralist. he was bill cosby. so, who in the heck is going to believe me? >> it's important to note that bill cosby has not been charged with any crime nor has he or his attorneys admitted any wrongdoing. he did say in a 005 deposition
9:36 am
that he kept quaaludes to give to women he wanted to have sex with. now he's being sued by several other women and has another deposition on october 9th. we all know the phrase, innocent until proven guilty, does that apply to bill cosby? >> innocent until proven guilty is a legal concept. but for bill cosby he's pretty much been convicted in the court of public opinion. and that's in part because so many women have come forward. and he himself admitted that he gave them the drugs. the story starts to add up that he probably did that because they weren't consenting and there for he should be held responsible for his acts. >> but professor laurie leven sockshn for many accusers the clock has run out for any criminal charges. it is certainly possible that bill cosby will live out the rest of his life without being criminally charged for these offenses. he's facing lawsuits, that's something different. but in terms of going to jail,
9:37 am
not so likely. >> and if the allegations are true, bill cosby has been assaulting women for decades. victoria valentino was playboy's miss september, 1963. and an aspiring actress who would get the occasional bit part. >> how soon can you comply? >> can be airborne within three glints but the high point of her life was when her son tony was born. the very lowest moment came in 1969, when a week after his sixth birthday, he accidentally drowned in a back yard pool. >> this saturday, my son would have been 52. he was everything. i breathed for him. >> so your friend said, let me cheer you up. come meet -- >> what she said was actually she said, you need a job. let me introduce to you my buddy bill cosby.
9:38 am
while val valentino and her friend were at dinner she says, he started passing out pills. then he reached over, because i was not being bubbly, he put a pill down next to my glass and said, here, take this. you'll feel better. >> did it make you feel better? >> no. i started feeling like i was going to drop my face in the plate. >> cosby drove them to a hollywood apartment where her friend passed out cold. it was then, she says, that cosby forced himself on her. did you think about going to the police? >> it was the '60s. and in those days, rape victims were revictimized. it wasn't compassion and protection of the victim. oh, no, it was well, what were you wearing? >> so victoria valentino kept her mouth shut. and for decades despite accusations of infidelity and worse cosby's secret was pretty
9:39 am
but cosby became a sort of moral crusader in recent years solding young african americans. >> please, stop it. stop your cursing. >> some saw his preaching as the height of hypocrisy. in a stand up routine last october comedian hannibal burress openly called him out. >> yeah, but you raped women. >> the video went viral inspired a wave of cosby accusers. >> why did you decide to come forward? >> hannibal buress. >> didn't all conspire, hey, let's meet in 2014 and all get together and nail this guy. you know, we'll have the big reunion, you know. i mean, who would have thought that it was like, one more woman coming out you're goingo oh, my, god. oh, my, god.
9:40 am
>> we reached out to bill cosby, his representative told us that there would be no statement or comment for this story. but bill cosby's legacy has already taken a big hit. his name and image are being removed from places as diverse as walt disneyworld and atlanta's historically black spelman college. >> i think heros do diehard in the black community for pretty clear reasons. we haven't had a lot of heros for a real long time. >> columbia university visiting scholar obri henricks says that revulsion is pretty universal. >> there are many who don't want to believe, they can't believe, they don't want their hero to see what the hero does something like this. but 50 women have accused him of rape and that's hard to get over, to overlook. if only one of them is telling the truth it means that he's a rapist. >> like an animal that preyed on me.
9:41 am
>> some of the women are working together now to change statute of limitations laws, if not for them, then for future victims of assault. and that could be bill cosby's real legacy. could it be that bill cosby goes to his grave with all of this still going on? >> i think some of the strategies here to say to bill cosby, you will never have peace for the rest of your life we will be pursuing you, we may not win at every turn but we will be there. >> osgood: still do come. >> this is a top loder. a '57 speed queen.

[ laughter ] >> we all know it can't. >> not to worry. oh, no. >> put that in there. >> thank you there will always
9:49 am
>> osgood: police in one michigan town are getting back up from a young man who is definitely one of the good guys. the story here is steve hartman. >> this one ever said all police officers were bad. but with all the protests this year, you could understand how someone might get that impression. especially a little someone. >> makes me really sad. >> after seeing one of the protests on the news, 10-year-old jeremie bordua of lansing, michigan, who always wanted to be a police officer, asked his mom march cellula if he had picked the wrong profession. >> he goes, mom, the cops are still the good guys, right? yeah, there are some bad police officers. and there are still the good ones that are trying to protect themselves.

time. their recent retrospective tour was built around a revealing documentary, the history of the eagles. when you saw it all out there, what did you think? >> well, i thought we struck a pretty good balance between the triumphant and the tawdry. the film include some less than charitable comments about henley by former record executive david geffen who signed the eagles but later split with them in a nasty contract dispute. >> he's a malcontent. he's always been a malcontent. and that's just life. >> what did you think when you saw him calling you a mall content? >> well, i mean, that wasn't the first time. i just thought, yeah, that's so him. >> henley was ready to leave it at that, almost. >> can i elaborate on the malcontent?
9:58 am
>> glenn and i both, when we detect dishonesty and unfairness, we are malcontents, as we should be. and we smelled a rat pretty early on. so if that makes me a malcontent, then i'll own it it. >> the history tour was a huge success for of the eagles. grossing more than $250 million. so if the other guys want to do another tour, are you going to answer that call? >> probably. because i think that we will eventually in the next couple of years actually come to the end of it. so i don't want to be the one to call it off. i think glenn will probably be the one to call off the eagles thing. i think it will be his decision when it's time to stop. i'll leave that to him. >> can you imagine ending it? >> yeah, i can. i'll be okay with that.
9:59 am

10:05 am
i wonder if when pope francis was growing up he fantasized about being pope. about being professional athlete, was he eight years old in his back yard? there he is, the leader of all the catholics. what a pop. what a pope. wouldn't it be great to end up be pope. your son is a doctor? sours pope. yours has a nice house. our son has his own city. it's in europe. it would have been weird to go somebody did. somebody was sitting at home in argentina watching tv. wait a minute, that guy is pope? it's not easy being catholic today in america. it's a little like being cubs fan for the last hundred years. love the team, not crazy about some of the management we've had. pope francis is looking to change.

that upon his election pope francis didn't move into the palace but simple boarding house. pope francis washed the feet of strangers. it doesn't get any more humble than that. by the wayf you are going to wash a stranger's feet, ask permission first. and remove their shoes. i learned that the hard way. pope francis also calls people on the telephone. i don't know why you would believe it's the pope. hello? this is the pope. oh, can you hold? i have spider-man on the other line. while pope francis is warm and genuine, i believe the thing catholics and non-catholics respond to most is his humility. this age of putin, isis and trump, it's so nice to hear a world leader say, who am i to judge? >> osgood: coming up.
10:07 am

he's a man on a mission. >> to describe alex gibney as proceed live sick an understatement. he has made 14 documentaries in just five years. exploring what one reporter calls, the porous boundaries between good and bad. his subjects range from enron -- >> it has taken enron 16 years to go from about 10 billion in as stoats 65 in assets. took them 24 days to go bankrupt. >> to the fall of former new york governor, eliott spitzer. >> my view is i brought myself down. and i will not try to blame others or excuse my behavior. i did what i did. and shame on me. >> now in his crosshairs, steve jobs. >> do you think early on steve

could be the guy? >> definitely. spend few minutes with him you knew it. he had the ability to talk about the possibility of what this computer could be. >> when the apple ceo died in 2011, gibney says he was intrigued by the outpouring of grief over jobs' death. that led to "steve jobs: the man in the machine." >> i was haunted by a question, which was, when he died, why was it that so many people who didn't know him wept all over the world? he was the ceo of the world's most valuable corporation and when ceos of big corporations die you don't usually see people around the world lighting candles for them. i looked at a guy who started out very much as a renegade wanting to stick it to the man and ended up becoming the man himself. >> which has come to define your target area.
10:10 am
what did steve jobs do to get on your list? >> well, i didn't set out to stick it to steve jobs. we could sort of influence the world -- >> but the document stare an unvarnished portrait of a visionary, who, by all accounts, was a fiercely competitive businessman. >> it becomes very god father-esque. you're part of my family. an sell my family. you don't want to leave my family. at the end, if you choose to leave my family, should you decide to take so much as one member of my family away from ly i will personally take you down. >> after all this is a man who for years denied the paternity of his eldest daughter. >> she got pregnant. and steve just was not -- it's not me, it's not me. even though that was not a

10:12 am
>> i like to win. more than anything i can't stand the idea of losing to me -- >> the look in his eye. >> then a funny thing happened. whoopz i lied. >> i lied. not only did i lie but i lied the biggest lie could you possibly image. it wasn't just a little bit of dope here and there i ran a doping program that was there from the start. and even worse, he was the hero to all these cancer survivors. and to find out that actually he was trafficking on their hope and their pain in a way to ennoble himself. that was the real crime. >> so this is jigsaw. >> jigsaw is the name of his production company. >> i'm kind of a puzzle freak. >> gibney is the son of a journalist he says had a deep seated distrust of authority.
10:13 am
>> they say to succeed you're supposed to suck up to and kick down he was the classic guy that sucked down and kicked up. path. >> he was a time. >> then fired. "newsweek," fired. at life, fired. >> still frank gibney seems to have been a big influence on his son along with gibney's step father, theologians william sloan coffin. >> something about my father, my mother then my step father, they all rudderred against authority in their own peculiar ways. and that probably rubbed off on me, too. >> alex gibney won an oscar in 2008 for "taxi to the dark side" unflinching look at america's use of torture in the post 9/11 world. >> about a week later, something is going to happen now. two prisoners die within a week of each other, that's bad. >> his film about the catholic
10:14 am
sexual abuse earned him two emmy awards. >> before i had this idea that we had treatment centers around the world for priests to go to when they sexually molested, raped, sodomized kids. >> earlier this year he turned his focus on the religion of tom cruise and john travolta, in hbo's "going clear: scientology and the prison of belief." >> to understand scientology, you have to understand the life and mind of the inventor. >> gibney often narrates his own work, putting himself in the line of fire. the church of scientology took out a full page newspaper ad denouncing him and his film. how you've been described, cool customer. kind of fearless. you are unafraid to be -- take on bullies who have a reputation
10:15 am
you're not afraid of that? >> you'd be crazy not to be a little bit afraid of that. but if you're too afraid, you're frozen. that's how the bullies win. if you don't stand up they get away with murder. >> from his office with his view of manhattan, alex gibney is a man on a mission. >> bullies make me angry. >> they make you so angry i think your face got a little bit me angry. >> maybe so. that's one of the reasons i chose the scientology film, that's a film about bullies. how innocent people who want to better their lives are basically manipulated and bullied by a few people in rather brutal ways. so that's what gets me motivated. that's what gets me up in the morning. >> last week, going clear, won three emmy awards among them the
10:16 am
documentary. straight talk. multiplied by 13,000 financial advisors it's how edward jones makes sense of investing. i heard i could call angie's list if i needed work done around my house at a fair price. sure can. so i could get a faulty light switch fixed? yup! or make a backyard pizza oven? oh yeah. i can almost taste it now. tastes like victory. and pepperoni... staying in rhythm... it's how i try to live... how i stay active. so i need nutrition... that won't weigh me down. for the nutrition you want without the calories you don't... introducing boost 100 calories. each delicious snack size drink gives you... 25 vitamins and minerals and 10 grams of protein. so it's big in nutrition and small in calories. i'm not about to swim in the slow lane.
