Bullitt Page #4

Synopsis: High profile San Francisco Police Lieutenant Frank Bullitt is asked personally by ambitious Walter Chalmers, who is in town to hold a US Senate subcommittee hearing on organized crime, to guard Johnny Ross, a Chicago based mobster who is about to turn evidence against the organization at the hearing. Chalmers wants Ross' safety at all cost, or else Bullitt will pay the consequences. Bullitt and his team of Sergeant Delgetti and Detective Carl Stanton have Ross in protective custody for 48 hours over the weekend until Ross provides his testimony that upcoming Monday. Bullitt's immediate superior, Captain Samuel Bennet, gives Bullitt full authority to lead the case, no questions asked for any move Bullitt makes. When an incident occurs early during their watch, Bullitt is certain that Ross and/or Chalmers are not telling them the full story to protect Ross properly. Without telling Bennet or an incensed Chalmers, Bullitt clandestinely moves Ross while he tries to find out who is after Ro

Front. Take this gentleman

to Room 114, please.

Hello, Del?

Yeah. Yeah.

It's a strangulation.

I thought I knew you.

But I'm not so sure anymore.

Do you let anything reach you?

I mean, really reach you?

Or are you so used to it by now

that nothing really touches you?

You're living in a sewer, Frank.

Day after day.

That's where half of it is.

And we can't walk away from it.

I know it's there, but I don't have to

be reminded of the whole thing.

The ugliness around us!

With you, living with violence is a way of

life, violence and death.

How can you be part of it without

becoming more and more callous?

Your world is so far from the one I know.

What will happen to us in time?

Time starts now.

- What do you got?

- Let's start with the cleaver.

One cleaver, approximately

eight inches in length.

Ms. Simmons' luggage

has just arrived from the airport.

Okay.

Where is it?

- Here you go.

- One pair of gold shoes...

Where is it from?

San Mateo Thunderbolt Hotel.

- And who from?

- Simmons.

And what do we have?

One yellow metal locket.

Yellow metal watch.

Pearl necklace. Put a hold on these.

We got a man here.

Dearborn Travel Agency in Chicago. Rome.

Look at all this literature!

What do you make out of that?

I thought she was alone.

She's got a guy, now.

New purse, still has a price tag in it.

Give me a bag, Tony.

Everything is new.

They weren't even away.

Passport? No passport. No tickets.

Yeah, I can't find any tickets, either.

Bingo!

What've you got?

Great.

"Albert E. Renick."

Then who the hell is Simmons?

Look how much money he's got.

Look at this.

This guy is loaded!

Well, we've got a Renick.

Wonder who Renick is?

Look what I came up with!

"Dorothy Renick."

Okay. Drop it in.

We're getting warm. "A.R."

How does that grab you?

Give me a bag, Tony.

Fingerprints on this stuff.

Let's wrap it up.

- Thanks, Tony.

- Okay.

No tickets, no passport.

Call Immigration in Chicago. Have them

wire Renick's passport applications.

- I'll get a fingerprint check on Ross, huh?

- Okay.

There are multiple gunshot wounds

on the left side of the face...

... the left side of the neck

at about the left upper thorax.

These extend from the lateral extent

of the left eye...

... and a portion of the left orbit

has been lacerated...

... and aqueous humor

protrudes from the laceration.

There have been deep lacerations

in the immediate area.

And these have been approximated

by fine surgical sutures.

There are multiple surgical incisions

about the left side of the face.

There is considerable hemorrhage

in these deep tissues...

...and a number of surgical sutures

are present about this area.

There are entrances into the sinuses...

...and several pellets are found

located within this area.

There are also multiple lacerations

and multiple gunshot entrance wounds...

...about the left side of the neck.

And similar wounds are found

on the left upper thorax.

Would you send up

those prints right away?

There's a soft rubber catheter extending

out through the lateral extent of the...

I understand that Captain Bennet told you,

you had until Monday morning...

...to comply with

my writ of habeas corpus.

However, I want a signed admission now...

...that Ross died

while he was in your custody.

When I'm ready. Yes?

Your photographs are coming through.

I'll be right up. Thank you.

I demand that signed statement. Now.

Excuse me.

Is that the girl?

Yeah.

Ross.

"Albert Edward Renick."

"Used car salesman. Chicago."

Who is Renick?

He was the man who was shot

in the Hotel Daniels.

You sent us to guard

the wrong man, Mr. Chalmers.

Mrs. Dorothy Renick and Mr. Al Renick...

...have reservations

on the seven o'clock flight to Rome.

Separate tickets. Not confirmed.

And I got this report from Chicago.

Renick has no record of arrests.

He's clean, Frank.

Yes Ross took close to $2,000,000

from the Organization.

And he set Renick up

to get the heat off of him.

Then he killed Renick's wife to shut her up.

San Francisco Homicide.

Do you have a Mr. Renick

on the seven o'clock flight for Rome?

He confirmed his flight a half hour ago.

Did he check in yet?

Not here, but he could do that at the gate.

Shall I call Security?

Call the gate.

Have them recheck all passports.

- Which gate?

- Seventy-three.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Clipper Flight 110 is now ready

for boarding.

We hope you have a pleasant flight

and thank you for choosing Pan American.

No smoking, please, beyond this point.

Would you please have

your passports available for inspection...

... as you pass through the departure gate?

Pardon me.

And you're with the tour, too, are you?

There are other girls ahead of you.

Step right on through.

Passenger Service.

Can I help you, sir?

Do you have a Renick, an Al E. Renick,

Flight 124 to London?

What?

Thank you. At the last minute,

on a Rome ticket. Flight Control.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have just

been instructed to return to the gate.

For your safety, please remain seated...

... until the aircraft has come

to a complete stop.

We anticipate only a short delay.

However, all passengers are requested

to disembark...

... and remain in the departure lounge.

Thank you.

He's still my witness.

I'll be delighted to let you have him

after he testifies tomorrow.

The Organization.

Several murders.

Could do us both a great deal of good.

Look, Chalmers, let's understand

each other. I don't like you.

Come on now, don't be naive, Lieutenant.

We both know how careers are made.

Integrity is something

you sell to the public.

You sell whatever you want,

but don't sell it here tonight.

Frank, we must all compromise.

Bullshit!

Get the hell out of here. Now!

How long will we be delayed?

Just about 45 minutes.

Won't be long.

Get me the security guard!

Ticket, please.

All right. Get back. Get back.

Wonder who he was? What he did?

I heard the shot all the way down the hall.

He's a cop. That's what he is.

Let's get back. Let's get back.

Let's keep the area clear.

Now, ladies,

you don't want to see this now.
