Bullitt (1968) - full transcript
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 Ross, and why Ross has seemingly made it so easy for "them" to find him. As Bullitt enlists the help of his live-in artist girlfriend Cathy over the weekend and as she sees for the first time with what he deals every day, she wonders if he is indeed the man with whom she should be.

- This is Pete.
- Yeah?
We lost him.
He's your brother,
Ross. If you can't
find him, we have people who will.
And you're paying
for the contract.
Excuse me. Have you got
a message for Mr Ross?
What room, sir?
I'm not a guest.
- I'll check.
- Thanks.
- That's, Johnny Ross.
- Yes, sir.
Sorry, sir, nothing.
Nothing?
Are you sure?
I'm sure, sir.
Okay, thanks.
Thank you.
Yes, I'm sure it was him.
Sunshine Cab, 6912.
Would you pull up? I
want to make a call.
Right.
Yeah?
Delgetti.
What is it?
Work.
Frank, let me in, will you?
What time did you get to
bed this morning, Frank?
About 5:00.
"Mumps vaccine on the market.
"The government
authorised yesterday...
"what officials term
the first clearly
"effective vaccine
to prevent mumps...
"announced it has granted a
licence for the vaccine...
"at 12:45 Wednesday..."
Why don't you just
relax and have your
orange juice, and
shut up, Delgetti?
Let's go, Frank.
Lieutenant Bullitt to
see you, Mr Chalmers.
It was purely unintentional,
I assure you.
It wasn't that I was
so well-informed,
it was just that he
was so ill-informed.
Would you excuse me
for a moment, please?
What do you like about...?
In Orinda, we have all
this beautiful dry
sunshine. Absolutely
perfect for roses.
I do all my own work. See
my hands? They prove it.
Hello. Lieutenant, how are you?
Thanks for coming over.
Name is Frank, isn't it?
- That's right.
- Please call me Walter.
I have an important job for you.
Captain Bennet suggested
that you take it.
As you know, there is a Senate
subcommittee hearing here Monday.
I have a star witness
who needs protection.
Sam said that you were
the man for the job.
And I can't find a flaw
in that statement.
Protection from who?
The Organisation.
His name is Ross. Johnny
Ross. From Chicago.
Once and for all, the top men
in law enforcement are united.
We're going to expose
the Organisation.
I read your speech.
Why San Francisco?
Ross is safer here.
That's your province.
Keeping him out of
reach for 40 hours.
Where?
The Hotel Daniels.
226 Embarcadero Road. Room 634.
He's there now, expecting you.
Now that you know
where my house is...
I hope that we'll get to see
a lot more of each other.
Particularly in view
of the investigation.
A senatorial hearing
has a way of...
catapulting everyone involved
into the public eye...
with subsequent effect
on one's career.
It will be a pleasure
to have you along.
Have him in court
on Monday, Frank.
What was that all about?
Pals.
You and Chalmers, huh?
There's a lot of juice?
Hotel Daniels, 226
Embarcadero Road.
State's evidence witness,
and we're baby-sitting.
Let's go.
- Yeah, who is it?
- Police.
The roof and the exits.
Mr Chalmers said you'd
be here by 5:00.
He guaranteed me that.
Oh, sorry, we got
held up in traffic.
Got any firearms?
No, man, I've got nothing
on me. Just my wallet...
cigarette lighter.
Want to check me out yourself?
No, that's not necessary. Put that
stuff on the bed,
will you, please?
How did you... how did you
get here from Chicago?
I flew.
Sure none of the boys were on the
plane with you, or saw you get on?
How would I know? I wouldn't know.
How come you picked
this room to hole up?
I didn't pick it.
Chalmers picked it.
Why?
Stay away from those
windows. That's why.
Sit down and relax, Ross. It's a
long wait until Monday morning.
We'd better get a
fix on some food.
- What?
- Some food.
I know Chalmers wants you to be
happy, and we'll do
the best we can.
Dad, it's for you.
Listen, you're not going. You're
not going. We're going to a movie.
Hold it down. Hold it down.
Now, don't be too late.
- Hello.
- Hello. Captain?
Frank?
We'll see you later, Dad.
I've seen Chalmers.
What do you know about Ross?
Chicago. It could be very big.
He had access to all
the records. He ran
the wire services with
his brother, Pete.
Did Chalmers ask for me?
Do you happen to know why?
Yes, I know why. He's grooming
himself for public office.
You make good copy. They love
you in the papers, Frank.
I see.
Okay. So long, Sam.
Say, who were you talking to
about me on that telephone?
Mr Chalmers said this was
just between me and him.
Me and him, and that's all.
Delgetti will take
the first shift.
Stanton will be on at 12:00.
I'll take the third.
All you've got to worry about is
staying away from those windows.
Especially at night.
You call me before you leave.
Excuse me.
Fire escape and the freeway.
The bad news, right?
Right. Want me to stay?
No. Go on home to your wife.
What shift?
Second.
If we work on the weekend,
we get two days off?
So long.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Is this the new fountain?
Fountain? All the client can
afford is a leaky faucet.
I thought that, money
didn't matter to artists.
It costs money to have a soul.
"Friction loss of
water in feet per
hundred feet. Length of pipe...
"Formula using
constant one-hundred
size of standard pipe in inches."
I want to use 600 gallons
of water per minute.
Now what's the velocity per
second of a five-inch pipe?
Oh.
Look to the extreme right.
Now go down the figures
until you find 600.
Got it.
Now go across until you find
the five-inch pipe column.
What does it say?
Nine point eight.
Now I want the loss in feet.
Feet, huh?
Well?
I lost my place. Nobody's perfect.
May I use your phone, please?
Good evening. Right this way.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Yeah?
- Del?
Coffee Cantata. 931-0770.
- 931-0770.
- Right.
If a Sergeant Delgetti calls me...
would you be kind enough
to let me know right away?
- I certainly will.
- Thank you.
Yes?
Del. I'm coming off now.
Everything okay?
Yeah, sure.
Hey, hold it down, will you?
I'm sorry.
Anything for Stanton?
No, I'll see you tomorrow.
Who was it?
Del.
Something exciting?
Go to sleep.
Meaning you won't
tell me anything.
It's not for you, baby.
Anything you do is part of me.
Yeah?
Front desk. Two gentlemen.
Shall I send them up?
What are their names?
Hold on a minute.
Mr Chalmers and a friend.
Listen, tell them to wait.
And give me 421-7596.
- Frank?
- Yeah.
Chalmers is downstairs and another
man. They want to come up.
Chalmers, at one o'clock
in the morning?
No, don't let them in. I'll
be there in five minutes.
Please, away from the door.
Here are the latest
baseball scores, just in.
In the National League,
San Francisco Giants...
beat the Dodgers in both
ends of a double-header.
A 2-0 shutout in the twin-nighter
and 4-1 win in the nightcap.
No, wait...
Now look.
They told me...
Who is it?
Ross. Two guys. They got
him with a shotgun.
What about Stanton?
They got him in the leg.
They're bringing him down.
Stick with Ross.
Soon as the lab men get
out of 634, seal it.
- But seal it, Barney.
- Yes, sir.
How bad?
Bad. He's got a bleeder.
Door is not open.
Somebody screwed up.
They screwed up. The
door's not open.
Somebody put the bed in.
Stanton.
I know you're hurting.
But I've got to know, now.
The two men. Do you
remember anything?
Caucasian.
The one who fired, about
5 foot 10. White hair.
Gun, Winchester pump.
All I remember. Came in so fast.
Frank?
Chain was off. He
unlocked the door.
Who unlocked it?
Ross. Like he was
expecting someone.
How is my leg?
Hold on, Carl, we'll be there
in a couple of minutes.
Get out of the way.
To the right.
Let's go.
Scissors, Joe.
Somebody get the blood pressure.
Oxygen.
Can I have an APD pad?
Can you move your hand?
Say, do you want to
step out? Your buddy
is all right. His
leg should be okay.
Somebody get X-ray.
How's Stanton?
He'll be all right, but
he's busted up. Ross?
I don't know, Frank.
You better call Stanton's
wife and get her over here.
Okay.
Here you go.
What is it?
What's his blood pressure now?
Scissors.
It's down to 90 over 70.
Suture.
Scissors.
- Better let me tie this one.
- Okay.
Get some balm, please.
He's dropping. Pulse
is also going up, now.
What was it pre-op?
BP pre-op was 34 over 90.
Kahn, take this.
Now it's down to 90 over 70.
How much blood do you have?
We have four up here, and we've
ordered four more units.
How much have you given him?
We're starting the
first one right now.
I'd better bring you another one.
Mayo, please.
- This is the subclavian.
- Here's your wipe, Doctor.
Thank you, Deane.
What are his chances?
No more than 50-50.
We stopped the
haemorrhaging, but they
got some of the major
blood vessels.
Thank you, Doctor.
How is he doing?
Holding.
Stanton?
Okay. He's sleeping now.
I want to talk to you.
I got the report
back from the lab.
Nothing at the hotel.
How come they got in?
Ross got to the door, unhooked
the chain from the inside.
He let the killers in himself? Why
would he do a thing like that?
I'm waiting to ask him.
What about the setup? What
do you think about that?
Shotgun and a backup
man. Professionals.
Yep.
I had to call Chalmers.
And?
It didn't go down too good.
It's the main event for him.
You know, the Senate
subcommittee hearing.
He can't produce the big
surprise he promised everyone.
He may try to make up some
mileage by laying it on us.
Play it by the book from now on.
Does Chalmers run
the case, or do I?
All I'm interested in is results.
Do whatever you think is best.
I'll try to back you up.
Excuse me, sir. Are you the
policeman who hasn't eaten?
Yes, ma'am.
- Thank you.
- Surely.
Where is he?
How is he, Doctor?
As well as can be expected. He's
still under the anaesthesia.
I'm Walter Chalmers.
Is there any possibility
of my getting
a deposition from
Ross before Monday?
That's impossible to say at this
time. He may remain in shock.
I thank you for doing
all you can, Doctor.
Get the supervisor.
Now, what went wrong, Lieutenant?
- Who else knew where he was?
- What?
Who else knew where he was?
What are you implying?
They knew where to
look for him and
they used your name to get in.
Are you suggesting I
disclosed his whereabouts?
Somebody did.
And it didn't come from us.
That's hardly the issue.
Well, it certainly is.
I've got an officer with a family.
And he's shot up pretty bad.
And I've got a witness
who can't talk.
I want to know about Ross. What
was the deal you made with him?
Deal?
Lieutenant, don't try to
evade the responsibility.
In your parlance, you blew it.
You knew the significance
of his testimony.
Yet you failed to take adequate
measures to protect him.
So to you it was a job. No more.
Were it more, and you had the
dedication I was led to believe...
You believe what you want.
You work your side of the
street and I'll work mine.
Lieutenant, I shall
personally officiate
at your public crucifixion...
if Ross doesn't recover during
the course of the hearing...
so I can at least
present his deposition.
And, I assure you,
I shall not suffer
the consequence of
your incompetence.
And even if there wasn't any...
I'm rather certain I can prove
negligence on your part.
There may be another
attempt on his life.
I'll be back in the
morning, with my people.
Thank you, Doctor.
I'd like to have Dr
Willard replaced. I
think he's too young
and inexperienced.
I prefer my surgeon.
Inform the administrator.
But Dr Willard is one of our...
I'd like him replaced,
if you don't mind.
I'll report this to
our administrator.
Thank you very much.
Doctor?
A relative of mine, he's
here with a gunshot wound.
Could you please tell me
where I can find him?
Why don't you try at
the reception desk?
There's no one there.
He could be up on the second
floor in the emergency room.
Thanks, Doctor.
Yes?
Oh, Lieutenant. It's for you.
Thank you.
Yes?
Dr Kenner. This probably
isn't important...
but a man asked me whether
a relative of his...
with a gunshot wound
was in the hospital.
I thought you should
know about it.
Was he about 5 foot 10? Grey hair?
I'm afraid I told him that
he was on the second floor.
Thank you.
Delgetti.
Our man is in the building. He
was tipped where to find Ross.
- You take the ground floor, okay?
- Got it.
Get in Ross's room. Nobody in
except Dr Willard and the nurses.
There's a man down the stairs.
Polly, call Anesthesia and
bring the crash cart.
Doctor, there's a
cardiac arrest in ICU.
Get Delgetti. You and the
patrolman cover the lobby.
Okay.
I can't get a blood pressure.
Go.
Do you want to defibrillate again?
Not now. Not with that complex.
- How much bicarb?
- Fifteen.
Go ahead. Push it in.
- Do you want some lactose?
- Draw some up.
- Any pupillary reaction?
- No. Dilated.
Get some calcium up, too.
What's that now? What's he got?
No activity.
I need some more epinephrin.
Half a milligramme, please.
Doctor?
I need your help.
What is it?
I want this kept open.
If Chalmers finds out that Ross
died, he's going to fold this up.
And I want the man
that killed him.
I understand.
I don't want your head on a block.
I understand.
His chart could be misplaced.
You filed it. It's missing.
I'll take the responsibility.
All right.
Call the coroner's office. Tell
them to put Ross under a John Doe.
I want a private ambulance,
unmarked, and I want it quiet.
Okay.
Far as you go, Doctor.
Take it slow.
City morgue.
Let's go.
Fresh today.
See if Dr Willard is
still in the hospital.
Get Lieutenant Bullitt
on the phone.
I'm sorry, Joe. He's been
transferred to another room.
May I have an outside
line, please?
May I speak to your
supervisor, please?
I'm afraid she's
busy at the moment.
I'd be grateful if
you would tell her
that Chalmers wishes to see her.
Immediately. It's very urgent.
Yes, Mr Chalmers.
I'd like to speak with
Dr Willard, please.
Thank you.
Yes? Can I help you?
I wanted the other supervisor.
The night supervisor went
off duty an hour ago.
I'm Mrs Francis. May I help you?
You may, indeed.
There was a patient
here. His name is Johnny Ross.
And he seems to have, disappeared.
Disappeared?
He was in Intensive
Care, but there's no
record of his whereabouts
in the hospital.
That's impossible.
May I see his medical
chart, please?
I'm sorry but hospital
regulations...
It's an official police request.
Is it not, Captain Baker?
Yes, Captain. I'll
take care of it.
Thank you.
Excuse me, but Dr Willard
has gone off duty.
Call him at home.
Are you sure he's not there?
Do you have Dr
Willard's home number?
I'm sorry, but there has been...
some medical complication
as regard to my witness.
I'm afraid I'll have to forego
that bedside picture...
as much as it would've
compensated for
his inability to testify tomorrow.
But, in all decency, I can
hardly force the issue.
Does this mean your
surprise witness
won't be able to
make any statement?
The man was near death when
he was brought in here.
In view of the attempt
on his life...
I'm sure you can understand
my reasons for secrecy.
- Yeah, of course.
- Good to see you again.
Can't reach Lieutenant
Bullitt, either.
Keep trying.
I can't find Mr Ross's medical
chart. It's evidently
been misplaced.
- Or appropriated.
- Appropriated?
All right. I'll inform the
administrator. Thank
you very much.
I want a complete
list of the staff
who might've been involved...
in helping Bullitt spirit
Johnny Ross out of here.
I'm certain he grabbed my witness
for his personal aggrandisement.
- I'll lay odds on that.
- And find Ross.
I'll get on that right away.
Mr Chalmers, I have
Lieutenant Bullitt.
Where's my witness?
I've got him.
Where is he?
Are you going to tell me or not?
Well, I can't at the present time.
Captain Baker would like
to have a word with you.
Now, listen to me, Lieutenant.
Nail him. I want him written off.
No problem.
You want some breakfast?
Just coffee.
Thank you.
For what?
- Is it open?
- The door's open, sir.
Now think back to
the time the two of
them first came in
and you saw them.
Anything you can remember?
Like I said. They hit me before
I got a chance to look at them.
I don't remember nothing
about them. Nothing.
Start remembering.
I can't.
And that's the honest truth.
Delgetti, take him downtown.
Lieutenant, give him a chance,
will you? He's trying.
He's not trying hard enough.
It will come to him.
You're wasting your time.
Okay. Come on.
One thing about the
guy who hit me...
He had a square face.
There wasn't much light here.
They try to save on electricity.
Like this?
No. Thinner.
That's it.
Now it's coming back.
Let's go to the guy
in 634. No baggage?
That's right, sir.
- And he didn't store anything?
- No, sir.
He came in empty, which means
you gave him a good look-over.
Always do. They're the
ones I give the eye to.
Then you saw how he arrived?
Yes, sir. In a cab.
What line?
Sunshine Cab.
Now, the guy who hit
you. How old was he?
Oh, about 50.
What was his hair like?
Grey. Getting bald.
Bald on both sides.
That?
No, balder.
Am I helping you, sir?
I never had it so good.
His first stop was the Mark.
How long?
Not long.
Pull over there and wait.
- Hello.
- Eddy?
Dues time. I need some information
on a Johnny Ross. Chicago.
Give me half an hour.
Meet you at Enrico's.
Right.
- Two.
- Two what?
Calls. He called twice. The
second was long distance.
How do you know it
was long distance?
He put in a lot of change.
Good morning, Sam. I don't
believe I've had the pleasure.
This is Mr Chalmers.
My wife, Mrs Bennet.
My son, Paul. My son, Tony.
Tony, how are you?
Would you mind if I had just
a moment alone with Sam?
No, of course not.
Must be difficult raising
children in the world of today.
I presume Tony is a
college student.
Yes, that's right.
I can well imagine the
financial strain...
of sending a boy to the university
on the salary of a Captain.
But there's no reason why a
man with your potential...
shouldn't move right up,
given the right support.
My family is waiting
for me, Mr Chalmers.
Bullitt abducted my witness.
He removed him from the hospital.
As his superior
officer, I've given
him complete charge of the case.
If he's moving Ross around,
it's for a reason.
So you mean that you
would not order
him to reveal where
he's keeping Ross?
It's his case, Mr Chalmers.
Captain, I'm serving you with
a writ of habeas corpus...
making you responsible for
the delivery of Ross.
Duly observed...
you have received it.
Now I need that witness to
prove his very existence.
Excuse me, sir. Dad,
Mum is waiting.
Would you excuse us for
just another moment, Tony?
All right, son.
I do not choose to have people
accuse me of false promises...
for the sake of cheap
sensationalism...
or to be compromised by your
Lieutenant. Or castrated.
Wait for me. I won't be long.
According to my sources, the
Organisation, Chicago branch...
caught Johnny Ross with
his hands in the till.
They estimate he siphoned off...
about two million bucks while
operating their wire service.
The story is they tried to get rid
of him. Friday night. Chicago.
Chicago?
He got away unharmed. They believe
he's hiding here in town.
How old is this information, Eddy?
Four hours. They're looking
for him all over town, Frank.
They've staked out the
docks, the airport,
to keep him from
leaving the country.
Anyone else trying for a hit?
Haven't heard of any
such likelihood.
What about his brother, Pete?
In the clear.
Okay, Eddy. Thanks.
Anything I can do for you?
There is something.
Remember Zash-Zhoe? They
gave him three to five.
What is he in for?
Receiving stolen property.
I'll try.
Thanks, Frank.
- Here you go.
- Take care, Lieutenant.
What the hell is going on here?
A high-speed pursuit.
And two men are killed.
An officer in the
hospital. A witness
almost murdered.
I want to know what's happening,
and I want to know now.
Let's hear it straight.
Here's the report.
Now, a man like Chalmers could be
a great help to the Department.
He could speak for
us where it counts.
He could fight for us
in the legislature.
Now, you have got to
turn over his witness.
Where's Ross?
Tell him. That's an order.
He's dead.
Dead?
He died last night.
After you moved him?
Before. I've got him
downstairs under a John Doe.
You are sick.
Smuggling a dead man
out of a hospital.
And now two men killed who may
have had nothing to do with it.
The man I was chasing killed Ross.
How do you know? Did you see him?
Yes. He tried to nail
me with a shotgun.
A Winchester pump.
The radio report said the two men
were burned beyond recognition.
Now all he's got are two dead men.
It would never hold up in court.
I've got one lead. I
want to move on it.
"Miss Dorothy Simmons.
Thunderbolt Hotel. San Mateo."
Ross called her
person-to-person from
a phone booth in Union Square...
approximately nine hours
before he was killed.
So he called his girlfriend.
What does that prove?
This is Sunday. I'm
going to hold that
writ until we come to
work Monday morning.
Frank?
Go on. Get out.
Need a car.
Sorry, Lieutenant, there
are no cars left.
Ms Simmons doesn't answer.
What's her room number?
I'm sorry, we're not
allowed to give...
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 any more.
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's baggage 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.
Yes, sir.
We got a man here.
Dearborn Travel Agency
in Chicago. Rome.
Look at all this literature.
Rome?
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 don'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.
Christ.
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, John.
- 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 humour 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 haemorrhage
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

Would you send up those

There's a soft rubber catheter

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 Albert 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.
Ross took close to $2,000,000
from the Organisation.
And he set Renick up to
get the heat off 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 the 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 Albert
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 Organisation.
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.
