and levels of intrigue out of "the da vinci code." >> are you the man who brought down the pope. also the clothing logo impossible to avoid. harry smith introduces us to the man behind underarmour, a man who insists he's a regular guy who is a billionaire and his own worst critic. >> i want people looking at the story saying, he doesn't seem that bright. and they did what? and tonight, these are tiny u.s. citizens because their foreign mothers paid to give birth to these babies here in the united states. it is a booming industry that's perfectly legal, but is it fair? kate show revisits a shadowy world. >> oh, my goodness. i don't want to say anything loud. look at all these babies. that and more as "rock center" gets under way. good evening and welcome to "rock center." by now we all know about chicago. there's been a ton of coverage

lately about that city's murder rate and for good reason as the death toll there soared this summer, the homicide rate there has actually improved recently. chicago is not the most dangerous city in america. camden, new jersey, has that title on a per capita basis. it is the poorest city in the country and for way too long it's been the place people drove by or took great pains to avoid. that's why tonight we tell their story and the story of a place we can no longer ignore. it has been compared to the surface of the moon here on earth. parts of it look like beirut after the firing stopped. but this is america and this is what poverty looks like. look at where we are. that's philadelphia across the river. muscular, gleaming, prosperous, just like the suburbs all around here. and then there's camden with those two awful titles to its

name. it is the poorest city in america. and it is considered the most dangerous city in this country. >> i think of camden as the best visual aid in america to see what has gone wrong and what is going wrong. >> it's staggering poverty surrounded by wealth. >> correct. >> three bullet there is. >> father michael doyle came here over 40 years ago. he's been serving the poor ever since. it breaks his heart to point out bullet holes in the stained glass. >> many people blame the poor and dismiss the poor. we have to get over that and realize american citizens are dying in inner city america and dying in camden at a levels never seen, never imagined. >> here is a visual. the crosses outside city hall representing murder victims. they are underneath the quote from walt whitman, "in a dream i

saw a city invincible." here's the math. roughly 77,000 people live here. there were 67 homicides last year and a 266 shootings. that's one every 33 hours and that's the worst in the nation. nice to meet you. brian. we spent the day riding with camden's chief of police, scott thompson. his roots are here. his department is so outnumbered and outgunned that drug dealers often go about their business in the open as police drive by. >> this, 50 years ago was the shopping center mecca of south jersey. >> look at this. i have seen this the last time i was here. but you don't see this a lot in america. >> no. scattered in here you see people that take pride in their property. >> right? thompson's family goes back to the old camden, the rca factory where his grandmother worked.

the shipyards and the campbell's soup factory where everyone else worked. then something else happened that is still visible to this day. >> this used to be a city street. could this date back to the riots? >> you're talking about an area where there would be a good 100, 150 homes. >> race riots, white flight, three mayors in jail, corruption, a police department cut in half and this is what chief thompson is left with. drugs are so prevalent here when a well dressed white kid came into view knocking on the door of a row house, it didn't take a veteran cop to realize he stuck out like a sore thumb. >> sir. sir. how you doing? got identification on you? >> yeah. >> says you live in del rand, tyler. you do heroin? >> i used to. >> did you ever shoot it?

>> once a while ago. >> let me see your arms. you've got fresh needle marks there. >> yeah, that's -- you know. >> tyler, let's do ourselves both a favor. head back to del rand so i'm not giving a phone call to your parents telling them something terrible happened to you here. >> thank you, brother. thank you. >> on some blocks it's as if everyone walking around is up to no good because most people stay inside in their row houses to stay alive. >> it's gotten to the point even in our daytime hours people are scared to leave their homes. this is the united states of america. children should not fear sitting on their own front steps. >> this year's murder rate has already doubled from this time last year. >> how do you not lose hope? >> my reward in all of this and what keeps me going is the connection that i have with the people that live here.

>> chief thompson met a young mom named chris si rodriguez after she lost the father of her two boys in a drug-related shootings last summer. when she told the chief how her 6-year-old son anthony was struggling with the loss, it stayed with him. >> he told his mother he wanted to slice his own throat so he could go see his daddy. i got down and talked to anthony for a while that day. i told him i lost my dad when i was a little boy, too. your dad is still here, you can still talk to him h. close your eyes at night and he's there. chrissy was born and raised here. she now lives on one of the most dangerous blocks in the city with her children. >> when you're walking with them do you feel like their protector? >> yeah. even if i'm scared, yeah. i'm mom. super-woman to them. doesn't matter. i never show them that i'm scared. i never want them to be scared.

>> the worst day and the day you measure everything by is the day you lost your kids' father. >> mm-hmm. >> will it ever get better or is that a thing that's marked you forever? >> it's marked me. as an adult, i can get over it. you know, it's something i can settle with and place it somewhere. for my little one, my 4-year-old, not so much. my 6-year-old is really marked by it. >> anthony and his 4-year-old brother often hear gunshots on the sidewalk outside their windows. >> he watched someone die right there. he's 6. >> chrissy works hard as a mom and a teaching assistant at a local college campus. but it's part time. it pays about $700 a month. she doesn't see a way out. >> so you've got no choice temporarily. >> mm-hmm. it's hard. my kids don't get to go outside and play. there is no park around here to take them to.

welcome back. 7 of 10 catholics in america, in a new new york times poll, say the abuse scandal a in the church now makes the vatican less relevant to their lives. this is a bad time in the catholic church which is tonight without a sitting pope after the abdication of benedict. the cardinals gather on tuesday to select the new man. first they want to know what's in a secret 300-page report of mostly leaked documents. well, tonight richard engel reports on the swirl of intrigue and turmoil at the vatican that a lot of people may not be aware of. for the first time, we meet the man who helped expose it. >> reporter: the 109-acre vatican city is off limits to

most italians. it is sovereign church territory, ringed by stone walls. some say it may be holding a huge secret as speculation continues about why the pope stepped down. the 85-year-old pope said he was too tired and too old to go on. but several vatican experts and investigative journalists say that's only part of the reason. their theory is the pope didn't have the strength to deal with power struggles and financial and sexual scandals inside the vatican, and that his resignation was an act of sacrifice to save the catholic church. a big reason so many people believe this controversial theory is because of this man -- john luigi nuzzi, one of italy's top investigative journalists. did you bring down the pope? >> no. how can a journalist bring down the pope.

>> reporter: some say secrets were guarded, a scoop as big as watergates. italians call it vatileaks. for nuzzi it began with a phone call from a friend who wanted to introduce him to a whistleblower with extraordinaire access, the pope's butler, paolo gabreli. >> this is where you met him. >> translator: neither of us could have believed what it would have led to. >> reporter: what pushed him to meet you here? >> he felt the pope wasn't capable of overcoming certain problems. >> reporter: the pope's butler wanted to pass nuzzi a hundred pages of documents he photo copied and smuggled out of the t pope's apartment. it was a cloak and dagger situation with conversations in public squares, conversations

with public telephones. this is the phone you were using? >> yeah. >> reporter: it was a land line so it was harder to track? they used a code name, maria. here on this so he would know which to push you wrote "maria". >> yes. >> reporter: you wrote his code name on the buzzer. why were the meetings covert? gabrieli thought the vatican was spying on him because he was close to the pope. there was a lot at stake -- big money, big secrets, information the vatican did not want to reveal. for a minute, forget that the vatican is a church. it's also a state -- a very rich one. its real estate alone is worth billions. that's just the palaces and monasteries, not the art it contains. much of it priceless. the vatican runs a bank. if you follow the crisis to the basic core it's about the money,

isn't it? >> i think that's right. money the power. power is money. >> reporter: philip wyland is an expert on the vatican bank and said it was set up like an offshore bank, designed to be closed and discreet to send money, for example, to priests in countries where they faced persecution. but the bank's secrecy has fuelled a history of scandal, including allegations that it laundered money for the mafia. >> today there is the suspicion that it has become an instrument for laundering money for corrupt italian politicians and businessmen, for b members of the italian social elite. >> reporter: the vatican bank denied allegations of corruption. but in 2009 the pope cast an archbishop named carlo maria viganeault to clean up the finances at the vatican.

he asked tough questions about kickbacks, favoritisms and how the vatican's money was being spent. >> that was a real problem for the vatican. if you open the books on the past thoughts of very unsavory things emerge. >> reporter: one of the letters smuggled out was from viganeaul who wrote he was slandered and sidelined from the inside. >> did gabrieli bring you that letter? >> yes. >> viganeault became the vatican representative to washington. that outraged the butler and encouraged him to leak documents. we are told the butler taught he was helping the pope reform the vatican. >> reporter: when nuzzi published the documents and put them in a book his holiness, the secret papers of benedict xvi, the book became a best seller and the scandal became an international who-done-it.

in disguise the butler told nuzzi why he broke the ancient code of silence. >> translator: there is a code of silence, not to make the real truth emerge, not due to the fight for power but fear. >> reporter: the vatican police eventually figured out the butler did it. he was charged with stealing documents and sentenced to 18 months in vatican custody. pope benedict later pardoned him. we found garieli in rome on the way to his new job at a catholic hospital. many believe the butler was not acting alone. >> the butler described himself as an infill traitor for the holy spirit in the vatican. in a sense i think he thought he was making history. and i think given the way things turned out, he really did. >> reporter: the butler's leaked documents didn't only point to financial cover-ups but suggested a twisted web of money, power, and sex. >> one of the issues that

emerges is the number of people in the vatican who are engaged in practice that is the vatican doesn't accept. >> reporter: author caramelo abatti is another journalist who thinks the pope didn't resign only because of his held. he went under cover at a nightclub near the vatican and shot this video with a hidden camera. ♪ >> reporter: this one in pink is a priest. >> si. >> reporter: the man in the center is a priest. after the priest went dancing and had sex he put on his vestments and prepared to do ma. >> reporter: you pretended to be gay, someone looking for relations with a priest. what did you find? >> i found hidden sexuality is widespread. not a sexuality at peace with itself but compulsive, obsessive.

sexuality that stems from depression. >> reporter: the vatican responded priests living a double life should not have become priests. to investigate what vatileaks exposed pope benedict took a dramatic step. he appointed three cardinals, all retired and all independent, to look into the allegations swirling of corruption and sex. the report they delivered, after eight months of work, is sealed and secret, for the pope's eyes only. experts suspect the 300-page report may have been disturbing to read because around that time the pope told his biographer he was tired and not to expect more from him. and two months later he resigned. the first pope to abdicate in 600 years. but then what about the report? some cardinals say they need to know what it contains so they can make a wise decision

choosing the next pope. cardinal francis george is from chicago. >> i think we are going to ask for the information we feel we need in order to make a good choice. part of that situation is what went wrong that we had this breach of confidence. >> reporter: for many vatican watchers the mystery remains. why did the pope step down? because he was old? because he wanted to run from a scandal? or oh because he thought his resignation was the only way to force a shake-up. >> my view is it was a courageous act. perhaps at the end of the day it will be seen as the defining moment of his papacy and his legacy. it shows his successor there is a crisis here. you have to get to grips with it. >> the only way to bring down

those around him was to fall on his own oh sword. >> i think that's right. people said it wasn't just his resignation. it was a way of firing everybody. >> reporter: perhaps we'll never know for sure why the pope resi resigned. it may be the one vatican secret that will never be revealed. a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam

welcome back. named kevin plank, much better >> i want people looking at our story going, god, he doesn't seem ta bright. they did what? >> kevin plank is the guy who can proudly say if you build a better t-shirt the world will

beat a path to your door. he came up with the idea while playing football at the university of maryland. >> i just always remember that soaking wet cotton t-shirt. dry it weighs 6 ounces. saturated it weighs two and a half to three pounds. i set out to build the world's greatest t-shirt for football players to wear under the pads. >> reporter: season by season you see the logo more and more. even the duck guys on one of the most popular shows on cable wear under armour gear. it all began in 1996 with no experience and a no business plan. 22-year-old kevin plank came up with this prototype. >> feels like butter. >> reporter: it felt different because the material really was different. women's lingerie fabric. >> think of the harsh, rough, cotton t-shirts versus the women's lingerie that's in your hand now.

>> reporter: plank's friends, all athletes, tried the shirt. word spread that sweat didn't stick. under armour was more of an idea than a company when the atlanta falcons called. kevin knew what to do. >> of course we make them in long sleeve. how many, what color, when do you need them. >> reporter: but you didn't have any. >> not at the time but how hard could it be? >> reporter: under armour's success didn't happen overnight. it took ten years for the company to reach $300 million in sales. and scrappy under or a mower wanted to play in the big leagues. against the likes of nike and its creator phil knight. was he on your radar. >> i will make you say it. i'm not going to say it first. >> reporter: at under armour no one ever says nike or knight by name. >> i'm not going to lie. i read their book and i was thinking i'm probably the one guy they don't want reading the book. did we learn lessons?

yeah. >> shimmer, shine, day shine, being really important. >> yes. >> reporter: plank learned a lesson when he realized that testosterone alone wasn't going to make the company successful. in 2002 under armour branched into the women's market. plank, unhappy with the line oh, cancelled it, costing millions. now women's products make up 30% of sales. under armour is a hungry company. hungry and humble. words the employees are encouraged to live by. even when they reruse the menu in the cafeteria at headquarters in baltimore. >> when you join the company you join the culture. you are assign aed a trainer. tlas menu board with items red, yellow and a green. green means go. yellow means think about it. red means, whoa. >> reporter: under armour is a

worker's paradise, especially if you are a jock. plank sets the tone for the play hard h, work harder ethos of the place. senior vice president steve batista says plank is a visionary who can drive you crazy. >> some days you will go home and really want to punch him in the face to be honest. you get home and think like, hey, he was probably right. >> reporter: which is all the more amazing considering his private and military school teachers probably would not have picked him most likely to succeed. how would you describe yourself as a kid in high school? >> troublemaker. i have three high schools to prove the theory. i don't know. when i was in high school i was a knucklehead. >> reporter: the former knucklehead figured out that continued success means staying ahead of the competition. we were allowed inside to see the final testing of under armour's new invention. the c.o.o. refers to it as the

bug. >> we decided to launch with a strap. we are designing a shirt that has the bug built in. >> reporter: built right in, wow. it's a tiny computer that measures your heart rate, calories burns, elapsed time and more. >> if you're not measuring, you're just practicing. >> reporter: all the data can be sent to your cell phone, facebook page, your coach. >> if i'm a coach and i've got a basketball team. >> sure. >> reporter: can i use the data? >> who's dogging it? you can really start measuring players honestly. >> reporter: that original idea for a better t-shirt seems simple compared to what's next. in the years to come, what are your clothes going to be able to do besides not get heavy when i sui sweat? >> imagine being able to adjust your temperature by a thermostat on your sleeve. where you are reading your data

from a chip in the shirt and a screen pops up on the garment. >> the next athletic innovation isn't available yet. >> reporter: kevin plank is 40 years old and worth more than a billion dollars. this is plank with his wife and kids, all happily wearing the family crest. he single handedly is on a mission to reinvigorate baltimore and the state of maryland. plank has donated millions to the university of maryland where it all began. yeah, the team with the crazy uniforms. here, 17 miles from downtown baltimore, he purchased a legendary horse farm, once owned by the vanderbilts. under armour uses it as a company retreat. but its real business is to equate maryland with racing and winning. what's your ultimate goal for this farm? >> win the triple crown. people aren't going to care until it's the derby, the

preakness and the belmont. >> reporter: you don't dream small, do you? >> no. >> reporter: kevin plank doesn't have to work another day in his life. but he says he has no choice but to remain a body in motion. as long as his leg is shaking he's thinking. as long as he's thinking, who knows? >> my knee taps, you know, most of the time. it's anxiousness, a feeling of we've got to be somewhere, someone's trying to catch us. never let them do that. >> always nice to meet a fellow knee-tapper. harry smith from baltimore reporting. up next, wealthy foreigners paying money to give birth here so they can give birth to americans. when a car has a range of engines... from the fuel-efficient ecoboost... to a plug-in hybrid with an epa-estimated 108 city mpge, it eliminates everything else from the picture.

welcome back. there has been some outrage in some southern california neighborhoods recently over a controversial industry many people first learned about when

kate snow first reported on it on this broadcast. it's called birth tourism. women with money, women with child who fly here to give birth to a brand new american citizen. they stay in what are called maternity hotels and, under our xivth amendment, their babies become american citizens because they are born on american soil. it is legal, lucrative and kate snow revisits the story. >> reporter: they look like mini mansions, luxury single-family homes lined up in this up scale suburb of los angeles. a quiet, sunny street. spend some time in front of the pink home with the white van out front and there are clues that something unusual is going on here. pregnant women, lots of them, coming and going. behind that suburban facade, a controversial business is operating. it's all perfectly legal. but the owners would rather stay

under the radar. the same thing is happening across the country. on the outskirts of new york city. we are about to get a tour of what few americans have ever seen. the owner, katie, agreed to show us around but asked us not to use her last name. why don't you show me around? >> i'll show you the baby room. >> reporter: they are up stairs? >> the babies are upstairs. >> reporter: oh, my goodness. look at all the babies. i don't want to say anything loud. look at all these babies. >> yes. >> reporter: they're so adorable. >> yeah. she's a younger baby. >> reporter: 4 days old? >> yeah. >> reporter: this one's name? >> li. >> reporter: that says li right there? >> yeah. >> reporter: the wealthy chinese parents of the babies have no intention of staying in the united states. they are here just to get american citizenship for their babies.

as soon as they secure a u.s. birth certificate and passport for the newborn they will fly home to china, having spent as much as $30,000 on fair faairfa lodging and medical expenses. >> reporter: where is mom now? >> shopping. >> reporter: instant american citizenship sold by a country called birth tourism. there are no official numbers on how many women are doing this. we discovered dozens of websites offering packages to expecting parents around the world. to sell the american ideal they use american women, children and babies. one website offers a resort-like experience complete with a swimming pool and tennis courts. the online ads promise children born in the u.s. receive free public school education, easier acceptance to college like ucla and harvard and jobs with no need for a work visa.

and it's an easier way for the family to get green cards which allow them to become legal u.s. residents once the child turns 2 is -- 21. >> they should be shut down. the people should be put in jail. >> reporter: representative phil gingry from georgia is one of several members of congress hoping to end birth tourism. >> they have gained the system and the misapplication of the xivth amendment has allowed it. >> reporter: he cosponsored a bill to reinterpret the amendment so a baby has to have a parent who is a citizen or a legal resident in order to be granted citizenship at birth. >> reporter: the women we have met are here legally. they have a visa. they are paying the hospital costs. what's wrong with that? >> reporter: they are taking advantage of our country and they are really not giving anything in return. >> reporter: people in this southern california neighborhood

don't like it either. >> it's strange to have the pregnant women walking around. >> reporter: residents complained when they found out this house was home to a thriving birth tour business. the operators ripped out walls for a nursery and a added bathrooms. authorities shut it down for building and zoning code violations. >> it was amazing they got away with it for as long as they did. >> reporter: we don't have a wait a generation to feel the impact. the birth tourists are already doing their part for the american economy. >> is that polo? >> yeah. >> reporter: during her four-month stay in america mrs. chow and her husband have been shopping a lot. you bought the ipad here? >> yes. >> reporter: katie's place is a full service operation. after the women give birth at a nearby hospital -- paying in cash -- the new mother

recuperates while a nurse cares for the baby. >> chinese culture has a lot to offer in terms of the new mother's health. >> reporter: chefs cook a special diet for them. every need is taken care of down to securing citizenship. you take them to get the papers, the passport, social security card >> translator: we help them get information, drive them where they need to go for the paperses. in fact, they could get everything settled. >> reporter: if someone said it's not fair you get to come here, have your baby and automatically emily is an american citizen. that's not fair. what would you say? >> the baby can grow up and then contribute to america. >> reporter: people worry america is losing stature on the world stage but for these families having an american baby is the ultimate status symbol. >> the question, kate snow, is

how do you crack down on something legal? >> it's not illegal. we have said it again and again. in southern california they have building code violations, zoning violations. too many people living in a house. not having the right kind of kitchen for that many people. even then they can't bust through the door. they have no authority to get in the house. sometimes they will approach a house, shut the door and say go away. there is nothing law enforcement can do. >> we have shined a light on this. we're back with more after this. what's better? doing two things at once or just one?
