2:07 am
of west altadenia in the local upcoming election. i'm your campaign manager, now. what? why? 'cause i care about you, kid. you look beautiful. well, thank you. i am excited to meet your parents. you should've taken my mom dancing when you had the chance. we could have been partners forever. paige, just hear me out. how does ms. franklin know your name? her last name is not franklin, it's dineen. my mother is a con woman. a first-degree grifter. would you like to meet your grandson? i'd like that very much. it's a true pleasure. i want what's best for my daughter. and from what i can tell, that's you. i'm gonna help you get her back. (car horns honk in distance) mike: those videos of people leaning so hard into the windthat they're nearly horizontal? that was me today. i'm so glad to be out of chicago and back in l.a. i missed you so much. i can't wait to get home. so, you want to get crazy tonight?
2:08 am
order pizza, do nothing? (warning beeps) (gasps) (screaming) mike: beth? beth, are you okay? michael, i just crashed. i can't get out of the car! just stay calm, i'll get help! (screaming): help! help! (bubbling) paige: just wait for it. wait for it. and the swamp lord is back! bet you thought that air strike took him out. actually, i fully expected him to survive the air strike. how do you not love the swamp lord? it was my favorite growing up. i can't believe you found it. me either.
2:09 am
it's funny how movie night happened to fall on the one night tim's coming home late from san diego. ralph: sure hope they get him with that atom blaster. which they won't, because there's no such thing. come on. swamp lord just wants to be loved. spoiler alert. what? chocolate-covered peanuts for your popcorn? oh, my god. that's how i always eat my movie popcorn. yes! give me. thanks. i smell a rat. a ripe, raw rat. he's up to something. hey. mm-hmm? what's with the cheeseball movie? what? the plot is an interesting mélange of cold war themes. and the action isn't half bad. balderdash. what? i'm trying to see if turn of the century exclamations can make a comeback. it's a small linguistics experiment i'm doing. anyway, hey, you don't even like movies. yes, i do. hooey.
2:10 am
revenge of the nerds, which you said wasn't vengeful enough... mm-hmm. ...and real genius, which you said... wasn't. correct. and now you're into obscure horror knockoffs which happen to be paige's favorite? i'm expanding my film repertoire. i know poppycock when i hear it. you're trying to win paige. (door opens) and i'm certain she's involved. (chuckles) (clapping) yay. isn't that great? he gets the girl in the end. implausibly. help me put the couch back. thank god for that movie. it was practically your babysitter every day after school. nice to be reminded how latchkey i was. um, you all settled into the camper? yeah, it's great. better than a motel. cheaper, too. and we're clear that, um, this is... temporary. absolutely. one week. okay. honey, i love your hair like this. thanks. thanks, mom.
2:11 am
the movie idea was excellent. salty/sweet worked like a charm. good, good. because she deserves a man like you. oh. intellectual. kindhearted. this is gonna work out great. you seem to enjoy this process. you guys all have your gifts. i have one, too. con woman. persuader. yeah. but i'm not used to using my gifts for good. i kind of like it. you know what else paige likes? the smell of rosemary. there was a bush under her window during the good years. it'll bring back positive childhood memories. excellent. oh, and when she was in middle school, she was really into grunge. mm, that's odd for someone so hygienic. no. the music? think flannel. i will. i'll be right back. i have to... google something. huh. forestry brave cookies?
2:12 am
and how much do the braves charge you for these? buy 'em for five dollars, sell 'em for five dollars. what kind of business are they teaching you? remember when you used to write grandma in prison about how you wanted to spend some quality time together? shh. shh. (whispering): i know. our secret. but how about we use that time for grandma to help you earn that business badge? mom won't go for it. (phone ringing) she thinks you're a degenerate. we'll keep our eyes peeled for the opportunity. it knocks, we answer. hello. scorpion. toby: hey, we shooting a campaign ad or what? how much did you raise? $42. of the $2,000 we need. total bust. sylvester: we just chose the wrong enticement. "we" meaning "you." you said you had a handle on what we should sell at our social. but-- shocker-- who knew no one wants cayenne and cumin ice cream from spoon & grain, whoever the hell they are? lesson one: know your market. sylvester: i read that this ice cream was hip. hip has no place in ice cream. ice cream is chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. period.
2:13 am
just let us give you the money. no. if i can't raise $2,000, i have no business being alderman of west altadenia. guys, a woman is trapped in her car at the bottom of the la brea tar pits. we're moving out right now. happy: whoa. exceptionally not good. where's the lapd dive team? those guys are masters at this stuff. searching for evidence on a double homicide-- a gun dumped in san pedro harbor. no divers within an hour of the pits, the woman is struggling for oxygen. fire and rescue are stumped. they need us. honey, i know you have to work, so i can watch ralph. all right. uh... okay, be good. both of you. walter! yeah, i hear you! i'm coming! toby: whoa, whoa, whoa. alice in chains! what's with walter in flannel? happy: i gave you those to use as rags in the lab. why are you wearing them? i always wear flannel. i love fl-flannel. i smell more rat. her name is beth reid. she's conscious, unharmed. she's been in there for 30 minutes. have you had any communication?
2:14 am
her phone still works. we can video chat with her from the command station. i'll be in there. oh, what size car, and how bad is the leaking? small sedan. there's seepage around the windows. she must be getting dizzy as hell from the fumes coming off the tar. she mentioned that, too. she needs to seal off the windows and the ac vents. based on heightened breathing and the volume of the interior of her car, we've got a 40-minute window before she runs out of oxygen. what happened here? is that a car bumper? we fixed a thermal scanner to the crane arm to pinpoint the location of the car. managed to get a hook into the rear bumper. the front end of the vehicle is wedged into a bed of tar. thought we could tow it out. you can't play tug of war with the earth. the pits are made of high viscosity asphalt. there's a reason the mastodons couldn't fight their way out. captain, i know you're trying, but dropping a 60-pound hook... (phone chimes) ...into that muck might puncture a hole in the car and drown her. tim's here. i'll fill him in. i'm gonna go check on toby. we need to rock the car out slowly. we'll send the cable down, wrap it around the frame and slowly wiggle it. but we need someone down there to affix the cable. i know the lapd divers
2:15 am
yeah. for no one to try this. there's never been a dive into tar before. it's hot as hell, eventually, the toxins will disintegrate any protective gear you're wearing. you could get stuck and never come back up. so, in short, diving's not an option. gentry: not for anybody on my team. it's too dangerous. paige: happy says they won't send a robot sub in to get better data. because? the bubbles are methane and the electrical currents that power the remote control servers on the sub could cause an explosion. got it. wai-wait. tim? are you... are you all right? what happened in san diego? i failed my physical. the mri showed that the shrapnel has moved closer to my spine, and, uh... i'm out of the seals, and i am out of the navy, effective immediately. honorable discharge. tim... look, we have a woman to save. my back is the least of my worries right now, so... okay. you're right. okay, but i'm... i'm so sorry.
2:16 am
you're doing great, beth. staying calm. keep looking for something to plug the window joints and ac vents. (rumbling and creaking, beth gasps) is the car moving? am i sinking? sylvester: no. it's just settling a little. you're okay. remember-- short breaths. conserve oxygen. everything's gonna be hunky-dory. not if she doesn't stop those leaks. i found something. athletic tape for my shoulder. perfect! use it to seal all of the windows and any other access points. toby: we're gonna get you out of there, beth. (quietly): any idea how? in 35 minutes, she runs out of oxygen. sly, can't you send down an air hose? feed it into the car? no. even if we could, it would need to be pressurized and pressurized air in the car would blow out the windows and she'd drown. scratch the air hose. walter: happy, can you build something onto the crane arm that would wrap the cable around the car? in six hours. don't have it. what are the odds of building an effective immersion suit within the next ten minutes? immersion suit? why would we need an immersion suit? happy: if i can raid that fire truck and a dive shop, i can whip something up, but it won't last long down there. going down there is too dangerous.
2:17 am
h 30 pounds more than i do. the odds are slightly better of someone lighter being able to disengage if they get stuck. tim: then i'll do it. i've got underwater mission experience. tim, your back. is fine. fine enough to risk twisting wrong in that tar and winding up paralyzed? (screams) please hurry, i can barely breathe in here. okay, sly hacked her fitness tracker, and the car isn't the only thing that's unstable: so are her vitals. we need a solution. that's it, i'm gonna go. now, happy, you can direct me where to fasten the cabling for the car? walter, you go down there, your odds of survival are less than .01%. it's me, or she dies. are less than .01%. well you're really gonna hate the new ipad pro because you can do pretty much everything with it, like type... hate it. or take notes... hate it. or even multitask. multi-hate yeah. you can do all the things you hate. great.

2:21 am
i want everything on the truck off the truck. i need to see the resources we're working with. beth? beth? okay, you need to tell me everything you have in the car. i need to see what resources we're working with. beth, this is walter o'brien. he's gonna come down there and help get you out. the fire chief said no one could do that. walter can. he's going to get to you,
2:22 am
so it can be rocked free from the tar. okay. mr. o'brien, have you done this before? no. but you know what you're doing? walter: i know science. okay, tell me what's in the car, we don't have time to waste. sun block, deodorant... and i have a road flare in my glove box. toby: whoa, careful! you light that, you could blow yourself up just from the fumes in the car. okay. gentlemen, this is michael, beth's husband. michael! god, beth! michael, i'm scared. it's okay to be scared. but just remember, we have a plan. it's a solid plan. okay. walter, we need you. three blocks away, there's a dive shop. we might be able to cobble together something for you to wear in the tar. "cobble together"" that doesn't sound like a very solid plan to me. believe me, we've been to space and back with less preparation. michael, stay with me. i'm right here with you, beth. this is it. this is where our market lives and breathes, okay? lumberjack moustaches, rolled-up jeans...
2:23 am
my mom calls these people hipster doofuses. yep, and they're gonna love what we're selling. here, put this apron on. it's cute. "artisan organic peruvian ice cream sandwiches made to order." i don't see where peru factors in. it factors in the bottom line. a little fairy dust to magically increase our cash by twelvefold. "duodecuple" our cash. that's the term. right. okay, so... one box of 24 cookies sells for $5. turn it into 12 exotic ice cream sandwiches at five bones apiece, and suddenly this box is worth $60. percentage of profit, maestro? 1,200%. but who would want to buy overpriced miniature ice creams of questionable origin? people want to feel special. especially these nudniks. so we let them believe that they're getting something special. it makes them happy. we should be charging more, actually. look alive. customers. hi.
2:24 am
gloves, anti-fog spray, dive boots. any luck with a wet suit? no, i'm looking for dry suits. the tar would eat through the neoprene wet suit and burn my skin-- this one! i got everything but the diving helmet. none in the store. i hoped we'd be lucky, but this is a recreational dive shop. guys, find something we can use as a helmet. a five-gallon water bottle would fit, but i have to assume that the tar would dissolve the plastic. you assume correctly. what about a giant fishbowl? glass won't disintegrate, right? fishbowl glass is too delicate. it'd crack under pressure from being down so deep. i know this sounds crazy, but what about these lighting sconces? brass borders between glass panes. glass looks pretty thick, happy. what do you think? happy: i modified a scuba regulator so there'll be intake and outflow. you should be able to breathe, and you should not fog up. walter, do you see me? yes. (exhaling sharply) do you see me giving you a big fat smoochy smooch? horrifying. this'll help you avoid claustrophobia, and at times it's gonna be the only thing you can see.
2:25 am
nna be limited. hand soap. gallons of hand soap. it's time to grease you up! i got your tow truck. cabe: tim, let's go rig it for walter. i ran the idea of this getup past the lapd dive commander. he thinks you're crazy. he's not even sure this suit will hold. the hydroxide anions in the soap can counteract the molar strength of tar acid for up to 32 minutes before corrosion sets in. that's ten minutes longer than beth has air, so it should be fine. better be. happy: all soaped up. time to dive. i'll get the crane down to you. we have a crane operator on site. can he calculate the drop zone coordinates to a hundredth of a centimeter? uh... that's what i thought. get him out of my rig. hey, next movie night-- sci-fi or horror? sci-fi. good. so i'll see you then, right? walter: breathing apparatus is working fine. at least on land, anyway.
2:26 am
beth, he's walking in now. please let him know i think he's very brave for doing this. you can tell him yourself when you get out of that muck. (faintly): okay. i have clear entry. in you go, buddy. and for the record, this is very impressive. headed down. it's thick. it's a much slower descent than water. okay, walter, i've got you spotted. you're going to hit the tar bed in seconds. when you do, turn four degrees to your left, and the car will be 15 paces from you. (groans) that's one step.
2:27 am
the tar is very hard to navigate. hey. how's he doing? he's moving very slowly. toby: walt, why don't you, uh, think slippery thoughts? eels. richard nixon. walter: when i go under a tar layer, it's almost pitch black. does beth have a flashlight in her car? i have one in my glove box. have her aim it out of the driver's window. i see her. i'm close. oh, i see him! thank god. hi. i'm walter. we met earlier. toby: yeah, walt, make sure you introduce yourself in case someone else is passing through the tar pits. o'brien, get to work. hook goes on the front axle, then bring the cable over the hood, back underneath under the drive train. i'll be right back.
2:28 am
okay. mike: beth, listen to me. i know this'll work, but i'll need you to hear me. okay? thank you. thank you for taking a chance on me. i've never been good enough for you, but... (crying): michael... ...but you still... i love you. i just want to go home. toby: beth, you will get to go home, but right now you can't get too worked up. uh, toby's right. you just have to regulate your breathing, okay? so just breathe in with me. take a deep breath. (breathing deeply) i know you have a lot you want to say, but she needs to conserve oxygen right now, and crying doesn't help that. i know, i'm sorry, it's just, before i met her... i wasn't a great guy. no direction. i... i was a wreck. i understand. i know what it's like to find that one special woman. no, more than special. before i met beth, i was a dog. bouncing around three different women at the same time. i was a bad guy. but she saw through my insecurities. she gave me a chance to be the man that she knew that i could be.
2:29 am
she was in love over this nonsense playboy life. yeah. i sure do. for certain. no, they don't. walter: it's fastened. happy, start rocking the car. okay, beth, get ready for some movement. okay. (mechanical whirring) it's pulling the car. toby: side to side, that's right. walter: it's coming loose. (scraping, creaking) what's happening? happy, stop. (creaking) walter, what's the problem? metal tearing. i can't see where. beth: it's coming in! lots of it.
2:30 am
the fence pole must have speared the car when she crashed. rocking it tore a hole in the frame. so we can't move it anymore? now the car is leaking. walter: i can take care of it for the moment. sylvester: walter, if you take off your gloves, the tar is going to burn your hand. yes. only moderately so far. happy: that will get worse... quickly. so if we can't move the car, what's the plan? flood the vehicle, and then pull back to the surface on the crane cable. oh. once she's exposed to the tar, she only has 20 seconds to get to the surface. any longer, she's looking at third-degree burns on over 90% of her body. that's almost certain death. mike: no! she's safe in the car-- leave her there until you figure something else out. walter: guys, there is nothing else to figure out. the car cannot be raised to the surface. beth will have to go through the tar. happy: in less than 20 seconds-- this ain't gonna be easy. we can prepare a bath of diesel fuel to quickly get the tar off her body once she hits the surface. guys, this sounds very dicey. (creaking over speaker) so does that. beth!
2:31 am
i'm falling! beth? beth! beth! her airbag knocked her out. i can't pull her out unconscious. she'll aspirate tar and die. guys, this plan just got considerably more dicey. she'll aspirate tar and die.

and detonated them. winning hearts and minds in the middle east will never be easy for the u.s. but the callus brutality of isis has at least for the moment made it a little easier. the villagers were too frightened to speak to us, on camera because they have family members living under isis control. but after half a decade of civil war, they told us they are in desperate need of running walter, food, and education for their children. the cbs "overnight news" will be right back. ♪ sorry about the holdup, folks. we have some congestion on the runway and i'm being told it'll be another 15, maybe 20 minutes, and we will have you on your way. ♪

southwest just to watch him train. having glimpsed the phenomenon on the road. our search to find what all the fuss was about took us here to japan's northernmost island. it is home to the national champion baseball team, the nippon ham fighters and also home to the sports most intriguing prospect. and otani looms large in saporo. if tokyo is a fastball, saporo was a curveball. japan's fifth largest city feels not unlike a laid back ski village. this is a baseball town. and this is the home stadium, the saporo dome. it is here we sat down with otani. broke the ice with a question about what we had heard was his favorite local fast food. >> very important question. in and out burger? captain kangaroo burger? >> captain kangaroo. >> better? >> towering and affable, working
3:47 am
comfortable using translator. >> want to ask you about coming to the majors. if or when? should we say, if or when? >> that is a tough one. i mean, nothing is for certain, so i guess it is if. >> despite that cautious response, otani eagerly revealed which major league players he looks most forward to facing. no less than bryce harper, and star pitcher, clayton kershaw. i watch bryce harper, clayton kershaw. pitcher and hitter. yeah, unlike me. kershaw is lefty. >> see a little of yourself in kershaw and hafrper? >> i actually do see myself. i actually try throwing left yeefs some times. >> how do you think you do against kershaw. >> thinking of facing him. makes me happy, excited. i can tell he is a great pitcher through tv screen. >> how would you pitch to harper? >> would have to go with my best pitch, the fastball.
3:48 am
fares against one of the best hitters. >> likely, quite well. throwing his dancing fastball. he strikes out battlers in a hyperrate than kershaw. and unfurling his violent, elegant swing he hits home runs in a hyperrate than harper. there are days, otani makes baseball look laughably easy. consider this performance last summer. on the very first pitch of the game, otani, batting leadoff hit a home run. he then pitched eight shuttleout innings and struck out 10 batters. at 6'4", the designated hitter turned pitcher reliably brings the crowd to its feet. when he threw the fastpi

breaking his record, opponents looked on in astonishment. last year you threw a pitch. 165 kilometers an hour. more than 102 miles an hour. how much faster can you throw than 102.5? >> i don't have an exact answer for that. but i am still young. i thin thrk is more room to grow. as seasons go. 2016 will be hard to top. the ham fighters took the japan series. otani was the league mvp. about the name, fighters are owned by nippon ham. makers of japan any best selling sausages. and while yes the name resists serious treatment, the team itself is widely regarded as the

most innovative in the league. manager, hikaki, lead the fighters and an ace for the texas rangers. >> can you contain this to anything you have seen. >> no, never seen anything like it. never. >> what is it like, a player, best pitcher and best hitter? >> he is so talented. it is really tough to use him the right way. with the right balance. >> if you thought money ball, practice of using data over intuition, contorted a manager's conventional thinking. tripe overseeing a two way player. his formula. he pitches otani sundays. bats him the rest of the week. day or two off before each start. distractions are to be kept to a minimum. same goes for praise. and otani may be the star of the team. but he doesn't coddle the guy.
3:51 am
last year when we won the chich it was the first time he gave me a compliment. he said that was great pitching. >> never complimented you before that. >> not once. he always says, you have got to get better. and, he has his reasons. i truly believe he is a lot better than where he is at right now. the crowd at the saporo dome is less stingy with the praise. you don't get a lot of quiet time here. no peanuts. cracker jacks, either. plenty of local beer. a college football style atmosphere pervades. the caliber of play is considered one level below the major leagues in america. top japanese players, names like, ichiro, and matsui aspire to compete against the best in the u.s. amid such sum pane, otani steps out. jon gibson reported on japanese base fall for 20 years.
3:52 am
>> what is it like covering this guy. a guy throws 1000. a guy who hits home runs. not somebody thing abut in real life. nobody does that. who does that? >> we had hoped to leave the dome with otani, get to know the mortal behind the comic book character. he politely declined. not a quick captain kangaroo burger. so we invited a couple of his teammates instead. brandon laird, louis mendoza two foreign players. laird, saw action as a yankee. mendoza once pitched for the royals. saporo not a bad place. over dinner at their favorite spot in town. laird told us that otani its most talented teammate he ever had. this from a guy who played with

privilege. even baseball tedium provide enjoyment. this is some body who plays baseball but always worked at it too. otani grew up in a small industrial town on japan's mainland. his father once an amateur player, coached his little league teams. and he showed promise as the a hitter, but drew more interest as a pitcher. and occasioning visits from scouts when he was still in high school. at age 18 he held a press conference to announce intentions went so far as to tell japanese teams not to draft him. but the nippon ham fighters known for doing things, drafted him nonetheless to. watch he full report go to our website. cbs news.com. and click on 60 minutes. we'll be right back.
