as you possibly can. also, all of our meat toppings, we do count them out to make sure we have the correct amount on there. and then all of our veggie toppings, we have cups and then measure them out. >> okay, so you guys do a lot of choppings. do you have a master chopper in the back? >> we do have somebody that comes in and does all the prep in the morning, so that why it's all done every day. we don't have to think about it during a rush, and we can just focus on people's pizzas. >> so, stephanie, this is a family business. >> this is a family business. my grandfather is the founder of papa murphy's, and then my parents actually own 15 stores. so i've been doing this since i was a baby.

and put it right in the oven. >> and this probably saves families, too, if you want kind of like a home-cooked meal, 'cause technically you're cooking it at home. >> you are. you get the awesome smells in your kitchen. ♪ >> how do you like my garden veggie? what do you think? >> it looks good. >> [ laughs ] all right, so are we done with our cowboy? >> just add a little bit more cheese on top. >> a little more cheese. perfect. so i heard that you guys have cool seasonal pizzas, too. >> yes. so, we have our jack-o-lantern for halloween time. very popular. and then we have our heartbaker for valentine's day, which is in the shape of a heart. >> so the jack-o-lantern, it means you're cooking it with pumpkin? >> no, it's a basic pizza, but it has the shape of the jack-o-lantern and with a cute, little face with pepperoni. >> and for the kids, you have a little special pizza so kids can get in on the pizza making, too. >> yeah, so we have mini murphs that kids take home and they get to put on all their toppings themselves. so, it includes the basic pizza crust, and then it has sauce in a small container and cheese, and they also get a topping to

put on top, as well. >> and i guess it's all portioned out for kids. >> yeah, so they can't go too crazy.

now a bay area physician has figured out a way to bridge the gap between underserved patients and physicians who want to give back. ♪ >> i do obstetrics and gynecology, and i deliver babies in san francisco, and in my spare time, i help run a nonprofit that links doctors that are retired to patients in clinics that need care. >> and the name of that project... >> it is called the maven project, for medical alumni volunteer expert network. so, i got involved with my alumni association -- it was harvard medical school -- and we linked with the alumni groups at stanford and ucla and ucsf and tufts, and we came together and formed a network, mainly of retired and semi-retired doctors who now volunteer their time to help take care of patients in

safety-net clinics and clinics for the underserved. everyone we spoke to said, "i went into medicine for a reason. i wanted to give back to society. i have this wisdom of years of experience. how do i continue to give back even in my retirement years?" so, it's gonna be very interesting for all these people... the maven project provides them with malpractice coverage. we do all the credentialing, which is very complicated in the united states. and then we on-board them and link them with the clinics so that we do all the kind of hard work involved in on-boarding a volunteer so that the doctors themselves can basically plug and play. [ dialing, ringing ] >> good morning. >> telemedicine is a lot like using facetime or skype. the doctor sees the patient through their computer, and then there's always a provider, sometimes a nurse practitioner, sometimes a doctor, in the

clinic with the patient, but the questions and the interview's done by our volunteers, and then the volunteers, in turn, can telescope into the medical record of the patient, find out more, ask the questions, and then recommend a treatment plan that's then executed by the providers in the clinics. >> i'm your endocrinologist today, and i'm going to be helping you remotely with your new thyroid condition. >> dr. debra cohen is a retired pediatric endocrinologist from the south bay. she volunteers at the maven project twice a month and says running clinics from her home is like having the best of both worlds. >> i had had difficulties finding local volunteer positions, and so i thought, "wow. this might be something that actually keeps me closer to my family and friends but that still uses me to serve people who otherwise may not be able to get the specialty care that they need." >> and dr. cohen isn't the only one volunteering. there are many others, like dr. nancy vanspeybroeck.

>> it's disheartening to have to have this... fund of knowledge i had spent a long time acquiring and practicing and then not using it again and then realizing that there were -- there was a big need. so it was really perfect. it was really perfect. i -- i think it's a brilliant idea of laurie greene's. >> there's so much to explore here in the bay area, so we'll be back with more stories to share. in the meantime, we want to hear from you. so send us your favorite stories, videos, pictures, and places in the bay area. visit us online, join us on facebook, and follow us on twitter. all this fun driven by your northern california honda dealer. for more information on the vehicle featured in this episode, visit norcalhondadealers.com. thanks for watching. we'll see you next time. ♪

>> reporter: now 7:36 in the evening, and cruz velazquez, in the striped shirt, knows his risky gamble to drink from the bottle did not work. >> you saw that mr. velazquez was sweating heavily? >> i did. i saw that he was shaking, and i thought that he was possibly a body carrier. >> reporter: but there still have been no calls for paramedics at this point, as the concentrated methamphetamine the young man swallowed is being digested in his body. >> he won't be able to feel it. but his blood pressure is going to be rising. but it's still going to take a couple of minutes for it to actually get through the wall of your stomach or intestine and

into your bloodstream and then from your bloodstream up to your heart and your brain. >> reporter: now, velazquez is put in handcuffs and a drug-sniffing dog arrives and alerts, indicating he has been in contact with some kind of illegal substance. even so, as a 16-year-old, velazquez's legal jeopardy would not have been so severe, one reason the cartels like to recruit teenagers as their mules. >> he would've probably been -- put in custody for three months to six months, and then returned to mexico. >> reporter: but to admit what he has done and return to mexico and the cartels, could be a death sentence for the young man. and now his body is in panic mode. >> it's getting every signal that it can that something bad is happening and that you need to get ready to either run away or fight for your life. >> reporter: but there is nowhere to run, he is under the control of border officers whose

action or inaction will determine his fate. no one is smiling now, and officer baird will later reluctantly admit she was concerned he had swallowed liquid methamphetamine after just the first two sips. >> i -- i don't recall but i'm sure i had some concern, yes. >> yes, because if it were liquid methamphetamine, he could get very sick. >> correct. >> or he could die? yes? yes? >> correct. >> reporter: but at the time, officers baird and perallon had little to fear for any possible misconduct. congress and civil rights groups accused the agency of tolerating rogue officers and agents who crossed the line. >> within that large organization are many who believe they're held to a different standard and won't be held accountable for engaging in misconduct. >> reporter: with hundreds of alleged victims, including

teenagers travelling without parents, whose complaints were given short shrift. >> translator: he told me to take off my bra and he started touching me. >> reporter: just last year, these two sisters who had fled guatemala to escape violence and seek asylum in the u.s., say they were violated one after the other by a u.s. border agent, supposedly searching for contraband. >> translator: the agent came back with my sister and then said to me, "it's your turn." then he said, "pull down your underwear." he reached his hand out and put his hand in between my legs. and the worst was when he told me, "turn around. bend over." and i bent over. >> reporter: but their complaint, like scores of others, according to the aclu, was quietly closed, when the agent simply denied he did anything wrong.

he said, they said and he was the one who was believed. >> they just take the agents word for it? >> that's correct. >> reporter: mitra ebadolahi works in the aclu's border program in san diego. so, if the agent says, "i have no knowledge of this." >> that's it. >> that's it. >> i don't remember that. >> these are just some of them. there are hundreds and hundreds of complaints filed by unaccompanied minors to your own agency. >> reporter: gil kerlikowske, the commissioner of customs and border protection under the obama administration, says the complaints only involved a small number of officers and agents. these don't trouble you? >> well, the number of complaints that come in are high. but i'd say under my watch, we've increased dramatically our ability to do these investigations. >> so you don't see any cover-up of allegations by you or anyone in this agency? >> well, i don't see any cover-up especially by me. >> reporter: in the wake of our questions, customs and border protection now says the complaint filed by the two

sisters is not closed but remains under investigation. which will make it a first in over a hundred cases the aclu says it has analyzed. >> as far as i can tell there has not been a single complete investigation of any of the allegations that i've seen. >> not even one? >> not one. >> reporter: now 7:38 p.m., at the border station in san ysidro, and cruz velazquez is led away in handcuffs to a back room, the security office. it's more than a half hour now since he drank the poison. and there still has been no medical attention for this young man, sweating heavily. >> he's really walking into kind of a chemical buzzsaw. that flushed feeling is going to turn into something like a fever, not going to be able to cool down or get comfortable. >> he should be in the e.r. you think at this point? >> ideally, yes. the sooner somebody can get to an emergency room after a situation like this, the better their chances are going to be. >> so if there's a delay?

>> reporter: it is now 7:44 p.m. at the san ysidro border station. and the fate of 16-year-old cruz velazquez is playing out in the

security office, where he is clearly in trouble, and where officer valerie baird has followed the young man she suspected of carrying or smuggling drugs. >> i noticed some labored breathing, and he was shaking a lot. i remember putting my hand on him and just told him to -- to, like, relax, calm down. i thought he was nervous about -- that he was going to get caught in the body carry -- and to just relax when he came to the table. >> his body is sending him the signal that something horrible is happening. he's obviously in terrible physical distress. >> reporter: still handcuffed, velazquez is being steadied by

officer adrian perallon, who repeatedly wipes the teenager's face as he sweats profusely. >> when i was standing with him, he was telling me to hit him. he wanted me to hit him. and then he just said that he didn't want to die. >> reporter: a third officer, nina signorello, also comes to his aid. >> i recall hearing him scream and i wanted to go assist in calming him down. >> did he scream a word? >> he was screaming in spanish and i'm not fluent in spanish, and i did understand a few of the words that he was saying. >> what words did you understand? >> i understood him to say "my heart" in spanish, "my sister" in spanish, and "my cousin" in spanish. >> reporter: my sister. my cousin. cruz knows the cartel could now go after his family because he

failed to make it through with their drugs. >> from what i know, someone told him, "if you don't cross the border and get this to the other side, we are going to kill your sister." >> reporter: later that night, velazquez's sister says a strange man showed up at her house in tijuana asking for cruz. >> there's always somebody that's waiting there for them and there's immediately a phone call that goes back to the cartel. and they're notified that there's a problem. something has happened. >> and would the cartels really go after his family just for that, for a small amount like that? >> absolutely. the cartels don't care. they just are concerned about their business operations and ensuring that their deliveries go through and nothing happens coming back to them. >> reporter: 7:48 now, and cruz is having a hard time standing, and the screams continue, described by officer signorello as heart-wrenching.

>> the way he was screaming it didn't sit well with me. it just made me sad the way that he was screaming. >> and the screams, did they appear to be screams of pain? >> yes, sir. >> because the drug's making the heart beat so fast, the heart needs more oxygen. it essentially almost can't get enough oxygen. as a result the person develops chest pain, very similar to as if they were having a heart attack. >> reporter: now at 7:49 p.m., a medical first responder finally shows up, taking off his backpack of equipment. cruz is barely able to stand. 7:51, a san diego fire department team of paramedics arrives. they report he had suffered from agitated delirium. he is handcuffed to the gurney for the trip to a hospital. still conscious with what were described as rolling eyes. >> what do think he is feeling at this point? >> abject terror. >> abject terror? >> absolutely.

>> reporter: it was 8:20 p.m. when the ambulance arrived at the chula vista medical center with cruz velazquez. he had left the san ysidro border station conscious, handcuffed to a stretcher, suffering from the massive overdose. his temperature rising to 105 degrees, his heart racing at 220 beats a minutes. >> the first thing i'd be think

ing about are trying to get control of the heart rate and trying to get control of the blood pressure and trying to get his temperature down. >> reporter: it had been just over an hour earlier, that the teenage smuggler had begun to drink the toxic solution of dissolved methamphetamine. four swallows in all. the officers would not call for medical attention for at least 34 minutes, a fateful delay in any case involving an overdose. >> the first thing to do is to call 911 to get medical help immediately. all other consequences are meaningless relative to helping preserve someone's life. >> reporter: by comparison, her colleagues made sure officer valerie baird got to the hospital after she got just a bit of the toxic liquid on her fingers. >> and so you felt you should go to the hospital too? >> correct. i had washed my hands right

away. and then, at the advice of -- of some other -- other officers, they pointed out that i was acting -- i was talking very rapidly. >> reporter: now she could hear the screams of agony from the teenager throughout the emergency room. >> at some point, did you hear cruz screaming? >> yes, i could hear cruz. >> you could hear him in pain. >> i can't -- i heard him screaming. >> reporter: at 8:24, velazquez became unresponsive with fixed pupils. at 8:39, he was put on a respirator.

>> and were you told that he was coding, that he was dying? >> no, i don't recall. >> do you recall losing your composure? >> i do recall having to go back outside. i didn't want to -- i didn't want to be there. >> reporter: according to the san diego county medical examiner, 16-year old cruz marcelino velazquez acevedo died at 8:57 p.m. of acute methamphetamine intoxication, less than two hours after he first drank from the suspicious bottle. >> you felt guilty that mr. velazquez died, didn't you? >> no. >> no? >> no.

>> didn't you cry? >> i did. >> yes. >> yes. >> did you not feel guilty that he was dead? >> no. >> he's not without fault. he was doing something he ought not to have been doing. the issue is in such a circumstance, is the death penalty, and a death that was so quick and cruel, is that deserved? he cooked within his own body, and he died in terrible pain. >> reporter: another death on the border, for a young life that seems to have meant little for either u.s. border officers or the drug cartel bosses that sent him. >> he was just another piece of the game, but no one see that he was a person.

>> reporter: at headquarters in washington, officials at customs and border protection promised a full investigation. >> i was told definitely that the two officers involved would be punished. it would simply be a question of what level of discipline they received. >> reporter: but once again, that is not what happened, not at all. >> even as a result of the death of cruz velazquez acevedo, no discipline was ever imposed on for the never-before-seen two sided clean, just add water. one side deeply exfoliates the other gently smooths and a flexible body cleanser inside lathers for a close,

>> reporter: as difficult as it was to watch this video of the final minutes of cruz

velazquez's life, his family wanted as many americans as possible to see it. video his sister reyna says shows the truth of what happened to her brother. >> they have to pay for what they did. >> reporter: but within hours of her brother's death, cbp officers absolved valerie baird and adrian perallon from any blame. the official report prepared that night with input from their colleagues said the "manner of death was an accident," and that velazquez "voluntarily took a drink from one of the bottles." actually it was four drinks. >> at any point, did you speak with cruz velazquez and ask him to take a drink from the bottle? >> i never asked him to. he volunteered to, and i believe i gestured to him to go ahead. >> reporter: but the government video obtained by "20/20" seems

to contradict that, as perallon puts the large bottle in front of the teenager and makes this hand gesture. >> did you gesture to him with your hand in some way suggesting that he drink? >> no, sir. i never suggested or asked him to drink. he volunteered to drink. >> reporter: officer baird made the same claim to the velazquez family lawyer, gene iredale. >> you told him to go ahead and drink on more than one occasion, did you not? >> no. >> and you're sure of that? >> i'm sure. >> reporter: but the video also appears to contradict her testimony, showing her making a kind of hand gesture. and officer baird's version of events was further contradicted by the testimony of the cbp officer who was right there and later talked about what happened as she drove baird to the hospital, nina signorello. >> when you say you discussed the situation, she told you she was worried that she was going to lose her job?

>> yes, sir. >> you say she -- quote, she continued to ask if i thought she was going to get fired for asking him to drink the liquid. that is true? >> yes, sir. >> i recall cbpo baird telling me, "oh, my god, i asked him to drink it." that was true? >> yes, sir. >> did you say words to the effect of, "oh, my god, i asked him to drink it"? >> i don't believe i said those words. i don't -- i -- i think whatever was spoken, she -- she misunderstood. i don't -- >> i see. you never told her words to the

effect of, "i said to him if it's juice, then prove it"? >> no. >> reporter: despite what the video appears to show, the officials at customs and border protection, apparently believed the claims of the two officers instead. >> officer perallon, was any discipline ever imposed on you for the events that occurred on the 18th of november 2013? >> no, sir. >> even as a result of the death of cruz velazquez acevedo, no discipline was ever imposed on you, was it? >> no. >> not even a reprimand? >> i've never gotten a reprimand. >> no?
