I don't succumb to pressure
and I don't succumb to threats.
I've received both vilification and threats
in the form of innuendo from personnel
of the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters.
Nothing will stop me or this office
from the continuance of our duties.
I swear to you that I will not stop
until those corrupted individuals
have been put where they belong:
behind bars.
It goes without saying, Jimmy believes
in you, you wouldn't be where you are.
He knows you didn't believe in him,
he wouldn't be where he is.
Now's the time not to trust anybody.
You didn't go to school with the guy,
I don't care what kind of badge
he's got stuck his lapel,
you do not know him. Any questions,
come to Petey Connelly or me.
Bobby, there's a man from
the Attorney General's office.
Hey! What are you doing?
I'm Elliot Cookson. I'm an attorney for
the Attorney General. I have a subpoena...
- Get the f*** out of here!
- I have a legitimate...
You have a legitimate right to
get the f*** out of here before I bust you.
- These people are witnesses...
- Are you living on Mars?
They didn't see a thing. Now, get going!
- You don't understand. Robert Kennedy...
- F*** Robert Kennedy and f*** you, too!
What do I have to do, throw you
through a window? Are you deaf?
Last night I ate at
a Chinese-German restaurant.
An hour later, I was hungry for power.
- Hear that?
- Like those clubs? I'll send you a set.
OK, enough with the brushing, all right?
Back in your cage.
F***in' guy thinks I'm a native dancer.
- Jimmy, I wanna thank you for your help.
- Good of you to come in.
- Anything, anytime. You know that.
- We appreciate it.
- I'll see you out there.
- Knock 'em dead, kid.
With my act, I should be in your business.
At least I'd get mileage.
What?
- What is it?
- They've indicted Bobby and Peter, too.
Indicted Bobby and Pete...
I'm a busy man.
What do they want from me?
- They wanna try you.
- It's the same old sh*t.
- They're just trying...
- They're succeeding's what they're doing.
I'm a busy man.
I got a union to run. I got a job to do.
We're not a small organization
with two people up in an office.
Everytime some jerk-off...
Excuse me, Jo...
Everytime some guy in Washington
comes up with an idea,
I gotta haul ten truckloads
full of records down there.
- Take it easy...
- Will you stop telling me to take...
Tell him to take it easy.
He's the one indicted. You take it easy!
A guy drives up, big black Cadillac,
Teamster medallion on the side.
- May l?
- Help yourself.
You're too easy. You're too easy.
Teamster medallion on the side.
Guy turns to St. Peter, he says, "I thought
you told me Jimmy Hoffa wasn't up here."
St. Peter says, "That's God.
He just thinks he's Jimmy Hoffa."
Are you laughing?
Bob, what are we gonna do?
- What do you mean?
- I mean, what are we...
The guys will come down,
tell us what to say.
It even brought my family and I
closer together.
The lawyers will come down and tell us...
Buck up, Peter. Pete, we're the Teamsters.
Yeah!
Any man...
Any man can have an accusation
thrown at him.
Am I immune? Are you?
In my opinion,
it is our very prominence itself
that draws this, that draws these attacks.
I will not be swayed.
The International Brotherhood of
Teamsters will not be swayed...
And our policy of unity will not be swayed.
That's right.
We must be ever watchful.
We have led the Teamsters,
and the Teamsters have led the American
workingman into the middle class,
and, buddy, we intend to stay here.
Hey, Bob.
It's a boxing match.
You gotta get in there and mix it up.
You wanna dish it out,
that you, too,
have the possibility of getting hurt.
That's life, my friends.
It's give and take and mix it up,
and that's what I am not afraid of.
And that is what made the Teamsters
what we are today, and I'm proud of it.
Proud to serve you.
James R. Hoffa, Robert Ciaro,
Peter Connelly, et al.,
for bribery, fraud,
conspiracy to commit same.
Billy Flynn. Third-degree burns,
The motherf***er can't stop smoking.
His cigarette, fumes, some f***in' thing.
Vaboom. There he goes.
- Another one, Bobby?
- In a minute. I'm coming to the point of it.
The priest, who was Father Doyle
down at St. Margaret's,
which you wouldn't know,
asked him to confess.
I'm coming to the end of it.
As he is dying,
Bill Flynn looks the priest in the eye.
"F*** you."
To respond, they have nothing.
To respond to your request. Now pour it.
F***in' man built the union
with a pair of balls and a billy club.
$200 million a year in dues.
Some bullshit fag in Washington...
F*** it. I said it. They got nothing.
Nothing but talk.
- Going my way?
- Yeah.
- What did they come up with in this trial?
- Nothing.
Nothing. Not a f***in' thing.
- You watching the television?
- Yeah, I seen it.
"Where were you on this day?"
Hey, somewhere, pal.
"What were you doing?"
None of your f***in' business.
None of your motherfuckin' business.
What if they had something?
They ain't got nothing.
There's nothing to have.
I heard the government got to
one of the guys.
Where did you hear that?
I heard a guy high up
- Who are you?
- I heard the government had him.
Had Jimmy?
And if other defendants could
corroborate their case, they'd let them walk.
That's what I heard.
You, for example. You could cross over
and testify for the government.
They'd grant you immunity
and let you walk.
You ain't got nothing. You ain't got
nothing or you wouldn't be here.
We got him...
And he's going away.
Well, if he's going away,
I'm going with him.
You want me to give up Jimmy Hoffa?
You want me to give up Jimmy Hoffa?
You piece of sh*t!
Witnesses for the prosecution.
Your Honor,
the prosecution would like to call...
just one more witness.
And at this meeting... I'm referring
to the meeting of December 6th...
You saw what?
- They discussed...
- "They" being?
- Mr. Hoffa and Mr. D'Allesandro.
- Mr. Hoffa and Mr. D'Allesandro.
Thank you. They discussed?
Formation of the pension fund...
And...
And its use by organized crime.
Objection!
There have been no links established
between my clients and Mr. D'Allesandro.
- Overruled. You may continue.
- Thank you, Your Honor.
And so, on this hunting trip, on which...?
On which... they...
they laid out the scheme by which
the pension fund would give loans.
- To Mr. D'Allesandro?
- Yes, sir.
Thank you. That is all.
Mr. Connelly, did anyone except you
hear this alleged conversation
between the defendants
and Mr. D'Allesandro?
In fact, there are no witnesses, are there?
No, sir.
In other words,
there is no evidence whatsoever
to support that this fantastical conversation
that you've described ever took place.
Isn't that true?
There's a...
There's a hunting license.
