"And he seems to have disappeared." "SUPERVISOR:" "Disappeared?" "CHALMERS:" "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..." "CHALMERS:" "It's an official police request." "Is it not, Captain Baker?" "Yes, Captain." "I'll take care of it." "CHALMERS:" "Thank you." "Excuse me, but Dr. Willard has gone off duty." "Call him at home." "AIDE 2:" "Are you sure he's not there?" "AIDE 1:" "Do you have Dr. Willard's home number?" "CHALMERS:" "Joe, 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." "WESCOTT:" "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." "WESCOTT:" "Hmm." "Can't reach Lt. 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 aggrandizement." " I'll lay odds on that." " And find Ross!" "I'll get on that right away." "Mr. Chalmers, I have Lt. Bullitt." "CHALMERS:" "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." "[Phone clicks]" "Nail him."

"MRS. BENNET:" "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 university on the salary of a captain." "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." "CHALMERS:" "Duly observed you have received it." "Now I need that witness to prove his very existence." "Excuse me, sir." "Dad, Mom is waiting." "CHALMERS:" "Would you excuse us for just another moment, Tony?" "All right, son."

"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."
