Carlos Monterey picked up a letter 21:20.360 --> 21:30.360 that led there less than five minutes ago. 21:30.360 --> 21:32.360 Come on, Ben. There's Ed over there with Wellberg. 21:32.360 --> 21:35.360 Yeah. Traffic sure jammed up around here. 21:35.360 --> 21:36.360 Hi, Ed. 21:36.360 --> 21:38.360 Friday. How's my home? You all set, Wellberg? 21:38.360 --> 21:40.360 All set, Chief. Spring Street to San Pedro. 21:40.360 --> 21:42.360 Sunset the first. Got it covered. 21:42.360 --> 21:43.360 Good. 21:43.360 --> 21:44.360 What's the story? 21:44.360 --> 21:45.360 Post office detail tipped us off. 21:45.360 --> 21:47.360 Five minutes after eight, a man answering 21:47.360 --> 21:48.360 Carlos Monterey's description 21:48.360 --> 21:50.360 picked up a letter at the general delivery window. 21:50.360 --> 21:51.360 That was 16 minutes ago. 21:51.360 --> 21:52.360 Who spotted him? 21:52.360 --> 21:53.360 Sam Lane. 21:53.360 --> 21:55.360 You got to look at him just as he was leaving the window. 21:55.360 --> 21:57.360 Called to him to stop, but Monterey ran. 21:57.360 --> 21:59.360 Lane called me and we threw a net over the area 21:59.360 --> 22:00.360 for six blocks around. 22:00.360 --> 22:02.360 And Monterey still somewhere inside this area? 22:02.360 --> 22:03.360 I don't know how he could have gotten out. 22:03.360 --> 22:04.360 What's next? 22:04.360 --> 22:05.360 Well, I'll give him an hour to break for it. 22:05.360 --> 22:07.360 After that, we start a house-to-house search 22:07.360 --> 22:08.360 of the whole area. 22:08.360 --> 22:10.360 Stop all pedestrian and vehicular traffic 22:10.360 --> 22:11.360 for identification. 22:11.360 --> 22:12.360 You're going to jam up the depot traffic. 22:12.360 --> 22:14.360 That's cheaper than murder, Romero. Get going. 22:16.360 --> 22:19.360 The first hour, we counted off in five-minute segments. 22:19.360 --> 22:21.360 Like backstrand, we felt close enough to Monterey 22:21.360 --> 22:23.360 to touch him, but he still wasn't there. 22:24.360 --> 22:26.360 The north and south ends of the blockade 22:26.360 --> 22:29.360 started to move in, slowly, searching every store, 22:29.360 --> 22:31.360 every house, every conceivable place 22:31.360 --> 22:32.360 where a man might hide out. 22:33.360 --> 22:35.360 In the meantime, Ben and I worked the Spring Street 22:35.360 --> 22:38.360 side of the blockade, watching the faces of the pedestrians 22:38.360 --> 22:40.360 as they came through, one by one, 22:40.360 --> 22:42.360 examining all vehicles and their drivers. 22:43.360 --> 22:46.360 The morning wore on, the sun came out, 22:46.360 --> 22:47.360 and it started to get warm. 22:48.360 --> 22:51.360 By 11 o'clock that morning, Monterey still had not been found. 22:51.360 --> 22:53.360 The temperature was 93 in Los Angeles. 22:54.360 --> 22:56.360 It was still climbing. The search went on. 22:56.360 --> 22:59.360 A ten-minute past 2 p.m. backstrand made the rounds. 23:00.360 --> 23:01.360 How's it look, Skipper? 23:01.360 --> 23:02.360 Not good. Going slow. 23:02.360 --> 23:03.360 How much longer, you figure? 23:03.360 --> 23:06.360 I don't know. It'll go to after dark, that's sure. 23:07.360 --> 23:08.360 District down here is like a rat's nest. 23:08.360 --> 23:09.360 Yeah. 23:10.360 --> 23:11.360 Nothing? 23:11.360 --> 23:13.360 Nothing. But he's someplace inside this blockade. 23:14.360 --> 23:15.360 He's gotta be. 23:15.360 --> 23:17.360 Any chance of getting relief for the men in our squad? 23:17.360 --> 23:19.360 Some of them have been working straight through since yesterday. 23:19.360 --> 23:20.360 Hmm, I'll see. 23:21.360 --> 23:22.360 Check with me around 5 this afternoon. 23:22.360 --> 23:23.360 Thank you, Skipper. 23:23.360 --> 23:26.360 Keep a sharp lookout. One slip. That's all it takes. 23:27.360 --> 23:28.360 The search went on. 23:28.360 --> 23:31.360 At 3 o'clock that afternoon, the temperature was 95. 23:31.360 --> 23:32.360 We sweltered and we waited. 23:33.360 --> 23:38.360 At 3 45, backstrand sent a squad of men into the Union Depot to search it from top to bottom. 23:39.360 --> 23:43.360 There was one false alarm when one of the men thought he saw Monterey slipping out a side door into a taxi. 23:44.360 --> 23:46.360 He turned out to be a train conductor. 23:47.360 --> 23:52.360 At 25 minutes past 4, backstrand passed along the order to our detail to start moving in, house by house. 23:53.360 --> 23:55.360 It was a tedious job and it went slow. 23:55.360 --> 23:56.360 The men were tired. 23:57.360 --> 23:59.360 At 5 30, the relief squad showed up. 23:59.360 --> 24:01.360 Ben and I stayed on. 24:01.360 --> 24:06.360 After another two hours of house to house searching, the trap was narrowed down to a three square block area. 24:06.360 --> 24:08.360 A single block wide and three blocks long. 24:09.360 --> 24:10.360 It started to get dark. 24:10.360 --> 24:12.360 Backstrand ordered out batteries of floodlights. 24:13.360 --> 24:16.360 By 8 p.m., the cordon closed in around the last two square blocks. 24:18.360 --> 24:19.360 Line's raw set, Skipper. Ready to move. 24:19.360 --> 24:20.360 Good. 24:20.360 --> 24:21.360 What do you think? 24:21.360 --> 24:23.360 I will know pretty soon. One way or the other. 24:23.360 --> 24:25.360 Frank, keep that traffic moving. 24:25.360 --> 24:27.360 All right, you two, get going. 24:27.360 --> 24:29.360 See you later, Skipper. 24:30.360 --> 24:31.360 Joe, let's take a look in here. 24:31.360 --> 24:32.360 Okay. 24:35.360 --> 24:36.360 Sure is an old building. 24:36.360 --> 24:37.360 Yeah. 24:38.360 --> 24:39.360 Where'd Kamansky go? 24:39.360 --> 24:40.360 I don't know. He was here a minute ago. 24:41.360 --> 24:42.360 Oh wait, there's his flashlight. 24:42.360 --> 24:44.360 At the end of the corridor there. He's signaling. 24:44.360 --> 24:45.360 Yeah, come on. 24:47.360 --> 24:48.360 Kamansky? 24:48.360 --> 24:50.360 Yeah. Down below, Sergeant, in the basement. Come on. 24:50.360 --> 24:51.360 Monterey? 24:51.360 --> 24:52.360 He's been there, I think. 24:52.360 --> 24:53.360 Yeah, this way. 24:55.360 --> 24:56.360 Where? 24:56.360 --> 24:58.360 Over here. And watch the step, the light's bad. 24:59.360 --> 25:00.360 Here he is. 25:00.360 --> 25:01.360 Says he's a janitor. 25:01.360 --> 25:02.360 Oh, my head. 25:02.360 --> 25:03.360 He's been slugged. 25:03.360 --> 25:05.360 All right, come on. How'd it happen? Can you tell us? 25:05.360 --> 25:07.360 Yeah, a man, a big man, hit me. 25:07.360 --> 25:09.360 I came down to empty the baskets. He hit me and ran. 25:10.360 --> 25:11.360 Ran over to the new building. 25:11.360 --> 25:12.360 The new building? Is that the one next door? 25:12.360 --> 25:13.360 Yeah, just a few minutes ago. 25:14.360 --> 25:17.360 Nobody's come out of this building for the past half hour every door in the place is guarded. 25:17.360 --> 25:19.360 No, no, not the doors. He went through the tunnel. I saw him. 25:19.360 --> 25:20.360 Over there's the tunnel. 25:20.360 --> 25:21.360 I'll take a look, Joe. 25:21.360 --> 25:23.360 Yeah, the tunnel. Next to two basements. 25:23.360 --> 25:27.360 Next to two basements. Same company, old building, new building. The tunnel connects the basement. 25:27.360 --> 25:28.360 Joe, come on. 25:28.360 --> 25:30.360 Yeah. Come answer. You get out the backstrand.
