Bullitt and Delgetti are confronted by their boss, Captain Sam Bennett, as well as Chalmers (who is assisted by image-minded Captain Baker). After being served a writ of habeas corpus by Chalmers, Bullitt reveals to both captains that Ross has died. Bennett delays enforcing the writ, allowing Bullitt to follow-up on his lead in San Mateo. Due to his car being damaged in the chase, Bullitt gets a ride from his girlfriend, Cathy. At the hotel, Bullitt finds the woman who had received the phone call, garroted in her room. Cathy follows the police to the crime scene and is horrified. On the way back to San Francisco, she confronts Bullitt about his work, saying, "Frank, you are living in a sewer". She wonders, "What will happen to us?"
