Lil Ceaser (2020) - full transcript

I like
to tell you a fable,

a fable of post traumatic
stress disorder.

- Hey Mrs. Braden, how are you?

- Oh, Timmy, I am great,

just going through
some paper work.

How was work today?

- Work was good.

- Everything okay
at the barber shop?

- Everything is good, just
tired a little bit and hungry.

- I figured you'd say that,

come on in here so I can
get you something to eat.



Destiny, come in here
and fix Timmy a plate.

I'm coming.

You been fast asleep?

What's wrong with your face?

- Boy hush.

- You two crack me up,

sometimes I think
you're actual siblings.

Timmy, did you ever
go get that ID?

'Cause you're gonna work
for that temporary service,

you know you're
going to need it.

- No Mrs. Braden,

besides I've been
working with Poppa Benny,

increase the good over there.

And he pays every day.



So it's better than where
you're working a week or two.

- I don't know why?

All you're gonna do
is give it to Earl,

I'm here, just don't understand

why you let that man
walk over you like that.

- Earl is my uncle,
and I love him.

And I know he acts
voguer sometimes,

but he's all I got,
that's my family.

- Timmy, we're your
family too, okay?

- Timmy, remind me so
much of your mother,

she was always all about family.

I just can't help it to wonder
whatever happened to Teresa.

Okay, so
this is the infamous

Dream Stylez barber shop.

Owned by Poppa Benny

and this is the man
himself, Poppa Benny.

He don't rule off
fear, he rule of love.

It's a big difference.

And this Esquire and Punch,

two of Poppa Benny's hit men.

West-Side Gloria and Shortie,

Shortie ran 63rd
and Cottage Grove,

and West-Side
Gloria was known for

the fastest tongue in the West.

- Yeah.

What?

Bring his
motherfucking ass here.

- Yeah, but see on West
side I'm selling everything,

pussy, that's the
idea of everything.

So you can send your boys over
thereto some whores of mine.

- Little and Shortie
told me no smoking,

so I guess I won't find him

Doc
Motherfucking Mays.

You know that dude

that walked into the
room and changed the

whole fucking atmosphere.

I mean, if you were smiling,

when he walks in you
fucking frowning.

Yeah, that's Doc Mays.

- I'm West-Side Glow to you.

- How about if I
spin you around,

and spank on your
ass and kiss it?

I bet you're a glow.

You little rascals can
get up out of my face,

how about that?

Pay me, or get the fuck on.

- Willie Black.

- Doc Mays.
- What's going on man?

- What's up brother.

I'm feeling something.

- And I feel my fingers

Y'all still on that.

Okay, now
this is Willie Black,

big old, tall country,
loud motherfucker.

But he got a chip missing.

Yeah, he getting paper
and runs the East side.

Anything out of East
comes with money,

it goes in his pocket.

And this cat next to
him, that's Cloth.

That's his right hand.

Supposed to never
ever miss the hit.

You don't know where
the fuck he gonna be,

he's just chasing money.

You see him on
Poppa Benny's team,

you see him hanging
out with Gloria, shit.

You wonder how come
somebody right hand.

We leave that up
to Willie Black.

Here we go, the
Rednecks are coming.

Lieutenant Burgess, a
low down, dirty sneaky,

crooked police officer,

works out of the Fifth
District on 78th in Houston.

He's a snake, a squeezer.

- I'm not here for
a conversation,

I'm here to tell you something,

no one, no one gets
a pass on my watch.

Do you understand?

You and I need to meet
and we need to meet so.

I gotta get out of here.

It smells in here.

- Smells like pee to me.

I love

This is the beautiful Sylvia.

Kind, big hearted, sweet,
beautiful little girl,

humble, loves her children.

She falls on hard
time sometimes.

Poppa Benny looks out for her.

All her up and up, you
know what I'm saying?

- Hi fellas.

She's
so sweet and lovely.

And she'll blow your
motherfucking brains out.

- Hey little mamma.

- Hi Poppa Benny.

- What can I do for you Sylvia?

- I just need a little
help with money.

Who
would have thought

she turned out to
be Timmy's mother.

- Thank you.

- And you know something,

I got some for the babies
too, for them being so good.

- Thank you.

- You're more than welcome,

all right, save it.

Talk to you later.

Say bye Poppa Benny

Bye bye, Poppa Benny.

Everybody I'd
like to introduce you to Timmy.

- Timothy Timmy Gibbs, the
most beautiful man in Chicago,

You hear me?

It is Blue Note,

a jazzy get up on the
West side of the city.

Ran by Gloria, left to
her by her old man, Eddie.

See Gloria runs what
Poppa Benny calls

The brothel out of here.

Yeah, They sell
everything over here.

Ass and all.

- Hook me up baby, I'm
going to drop it nice baby.

- Hey, what we got here?

Earl, Timmy's uncle

hustling ass, jazz, turkey,

but he's Timmy's uncle
and Timmy love him.

And Earl loves Timmy,

so the guy takes
advantage of that.

But shit, what
family member don't?

- Same old same, out here
trying to make things move.

You know when I make
this move out here

- I'm gonna need my money back.

- I got you nephew.

- I'm serious, I
need my money back.

- I got you nephew,
you know I got you.

- Don't play with me,

I need my money back, all right?

- Okay, here we go, here we go.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Looks like you're
having a nice day.

And I know you're having
a good time on my streets.

And I wanna keep
it that way Benny.

So I'm going to put
some stipulations.

- Why you coming here every now?

What you have for me?

- I want you to be respectful

and you know how
you can do that?

By telling me what's
going on out there.

And I want everything,

every last goddamn
thing to run through me.

- I'm a businessman Burgess.

Why would you come in here?

What do you want from me?

I paid my taxes.

- I know you, but this
isn't just about you.

Everybody, everybody
needs to pay their dues.

- This is my grand,

the blood on these nuggets, the
scrapes under my fingertips,

when I eat, my people eat,

then we give to the needy.

And as it looks, you
don't need anything.

- It's not about me
Benny, it's about you.

You need me to have
success out there, okay?

So I got an idea.

Every Thursday at two o'clock,

I'm coming in that
shithole of yours,

and you're gonna have a
package, a white package,

and that's gonna
ensure your success.

The more you cooperate,

the more package you gonna get.

Now, this starts tomorrow,
see you at two o'clock.

- Pops, this guy
ain't going away,

he goin' keep coming,
and coming and coming.

Or you gonna have
to be dealt with.

What are we gonna do about this?

- We calculate.

We don't move with
spontaneously.

- Want me to watch him?

- In deed brother, every move.

- Done.

all the motherfuckers
used to say,

this kid, Doc Mays gave
him $300 worth of work,

told him to come
back with his money

in two weeks or
he gonna kill him.

He didn't come back with the
money, until three weeks.

And this is what's
happening right now.

within his reach.

- What's going on?

Can't we all just get along?

That bird just keep coming
to some $1,500.

I'm trying to
balance these books,

ain't no $1,500 here.

And by the way
this Blue Note,

everything in here is legal.

So if I give him $1,500
or he shut me down,

then I'm illegal.

He'll give up $1,500
worth for this pussy.

- Man, speaking of pussy,

Doc Mays been coming up
in here trying to run shit

You see what the fuck

We'll get him out the gate.

This is gotta be quick and
this has gotta be discreet.

- Okay, I hear you.

Look, we're too wise to

in the same direction,
chasing that cheese.

- I don't travel in
the same sewer as you.

We do have the
perfect vacation space

Chicago, you can take it.

I'm gonna need a
thicker envelope.

- You push him out there, dude,

- Yes,

I gotta get the
hell out of here.

Wait for my phone call

- Hey B, escort him out of here.

- Poppa Benny, how are you
doing in this fine hour.

Don La Bianca,
this is the fifth element

in the four corner world.

See, Don La Bianca
had the pipeline,

and he supplied the North,
South, East and West.

And he's done it peacefully.

And he took pride in that.

But with what Doc
Mays was up to,

it wasn't coinciding
with the family's plan.

- We need to keep it clean.

We need to protect the pipeline.

- The South side
and everything South

belongs to this house, my house.

Doc Mays, he's loud, but he's
only loud on the North side.

There's no need to worry Don.

- Decency and peace,

this is what we've
always had between us.

We need to protect
the prior to that.

- It bothers man, what
changed Doc Mays man?

- Look, I don't trust
that motherfucker, man,

I need you to have my back.

- Yeah, what do we got here for?

- That's my business, man.

- Willie Black.

- Doc Mays, what's up baby.

- What brings you up here to
my warehouse establishment?

- Well you know I had
to see your pretty face.

- Bullshit.

- You tell bullshit
to bullshitters.

- Come on over here
and have a seat.

- All right, well look here,

I ain't got no problem
with Poppa Benny.

- Do you need that?

- And look here,

I ain't got no
problems with you.

- You better not.

- But I know you
on some bullshit.

- What do you mean?

Don't talk to me that way.

- If you want some ANA,

I want one little piece of
the pack, the West side.

- Gloria ain't
gonna like that man.

- Don't worry about
Gloria, let me handle her.

- Gloria can handle herself.

- That's for goddamn sure.

- All right, listen close,

this Friday 10 o'clock,
on the West side.

- Okay, I got it,
Friday morning.

- You gotta make it snappy,

get there about a quarter to,

and get the hell out of
there as soon as you're done.

Make sure you take care of this.

All right, you got it?

- Okay, yeah.

- Good.

- Hey fellas, we got Slim.

- Its about damn time.

- Exactly.

Now listen, listen, fellas.

I need y'all on

West side of the building.

- Hey Cookie,

you know I was thinking
about something.

- What you thinking about?

- I need you to do
something for me, a favor.

Why don't you go over there
and holla at West-Side Gloria.

- Okay, but why?

- I need you to give her

- I'm doing all right,
what can I do you for?

Let me get double shot,,
and a bottle of water.

- All right, I got you.

Like Slim promised,

he went to halla on Doc.

When Don La Bianca
told Poppa Benny

that Doc was making noise

And while he was
there, yeah, he did.

He suckered her, at that
moment, she knew he saw her.

But like a bad bitch,
she played the role.

- You need to get
the fuck out of here,

look what you did
to my baby though,

look what you did
to my baby girl.

- You know what, you
just hurt my feelings,

you supposed be a boss bitch

and you crying over
a whore bitch.

This is the family that
she turned on defending,

and motherfuckers
getting buried.

Don't tell me about you baby.

You know what, get the
fuck out away from

- We are family, so anything
that affects the family.

- Look what you did
to my baby though,

get the fuck out of here.

Girl, come clean up
this mess for me please.

Doc Mays
never liked Slim.

See, he knew Slim would
go behind, up and under

to protect Poppa Benny.

He knew he needed to
move Slim out the way,

because that will be
a problem in his plan.

- Motherfucker,
shut the fuck up.

- Let me tell you something,
you burned your goddamn crown.

- What you gonna tell me?

- For the first time I get away,

how about put it like this,
you better not let me live.

'Cause if I do all y'all dead

and then you bring the
sherif in here too?

What the fuck is this
supposed to be on?

- Slim, what's going on man?

How you doing?

You gotta take care it yourself,

or somebody will do it for you?

- I'm good.

- All right.

Slim, Slim, Slim, where
Poppa Benny gonna be?

- Not where you gonna be.

- You hear him over there?

How is the ride down here?

- It was good.

- Man, I was riding
down the road,

Pony gave him a couple.

- Okay baby, so
Timmy, how you been?

- I'm good.

Every now and then,

Poppa Benny would take
Timmy out to lunch,

kick it with him, spend some
time with the little barber.

And his wife Leslie, she
was fine by Timmy too.

It was almost like an outing
on a family structure.

That was something Timmy needed.

Poppa Benny supplied
that for him,

he was more like his nest.

He knows he felt
secure in there.

He loved him.

- Slim, Slim, Slim.

What's going on Slim?

I got a favor to talk
about here with you.

Back in the days when I was
a baller, trying to come up,

I went to one of my guys, to
buy a couple of them things,

I asked him the price
and he told me the price,

I said, damn, can you
cut it a little bit?

'Cause we homies, he
said, yeah we friends,

but this is a business.

You understand?

This is a business, and he
couldn't do that for me.

So later on at night,
me and my friends,

we went up to his room.

He was knocked the fuck out.

Girl must have put
the pussy on him.

She must've had the bomb.

I woke him up.

I asked him where the work at.

He said, I ain't
telling you shit.

I said, wait a minute,
man, where they're work at?

Again, he said, I
ain't telling you shit.

So I tell Pony,

I say Pony, give him some.

Pony hit that nigga square
across the bridge of his nose

and broke it, and you know what?

He still didn't tell
me where the work was.

I said, I'm gonna
take my time with him.

Juju, go get me an iron

and you fill that
motherfucker up with water

and you make sure it's steaming,

and A.B and Pony, y'all
flipped that motherfucker over.

And you know what I did,

I dropped that arrogant square
on his motherfucking ass.

And you know that
motherfucker screamed?

You know he screamed?

But you know what?

He told me where the work was.

Just like you gonna tell me
where Poppa Benny gonna be.

- Reporting to you live
from WBLS Channel six news,

today marks a very somber event,

as it is that we're here
to attend the funeral

of cartel Slim Robinson.

Some of everybody has
turned out for this event.

We have Chicago's
Criminal Elite family,

West-Side Gloria is here,

East side, Willie Black is here.

Even Don La Bianca is
here attending this event.

But what surely is a very,
very sad occasion back to you.

- So sorry.

- What's up Destiny?

- Oh, Timmy, come
here for a second.

- What's going on Destiny?

- I don't really
know how to say this.

- What's wrong?

- They found Earl.

- What you mean.

- They found him upstairs
in the gym, he dead Timmy.

Timmy, Timmy.

I believe
this is when Timmy

stopped being Timmy
and became Timmy.

You can only back
a person up so far.

A balloon can only
take so much air,

before it bursts, tik,
tok, tik, tok, boom.

- Littles, did
Earl come in today?

- Yes, Molly said he
came in this morning

- Good, do you mind
checking that out?

- Timmy, what's going on?

- Nothing much working
off trying to survive.

- They treating you
good at the barber shop?

- Yes, they treating me
great at the barber shop Pop.

- Good, good, good.

Then what's going on?

- Let me ask you this question,

every time I asked you
about my mom and dad,

you sweep it under
a rock, why is that?

- Timmy, I don't sweep
nothing under rock bro.

Listen, let me tell
you this little story,

about your father
and I when I was 17.

Walking down the street,
I seen a guy on a corner.

He's giving out orders,

the ladies liked him and
the bros respected him,

like a boss.

Hey, he was the boss of bosses.

So I said, I'm going
to work for that guy.

- And then what happened?

- So I walked up to him,

yeah, I said, can
I work for you?

- What do you think?

- He said to me,
Shortie go to school.

So I can't.

One day I walked out of said,

can I work your
surrogate?

And he said, you
wanna work for me?

I said yes sir.

So he said,

and if you take this
bags out over there,

and bring me back
what it gave you.

- So what was in the package?

- I don't know,

he gave me a couple of dollars.

I ran that street like
I had a lot of money.

The only thing I'm gonna say
is, that was your father,

he brought me in, he loved me,

just like I love
you, you're family.

- Let me ask you this
question, uncle Earl,

before he died he said
my mum was a crack head,

is that true?

- Hey Timmy, bad things
happen to good people.

When you're in the world of
drugs, sometimes things happen.

But I can tell you one
thing, she loved you.

Do you understand?

- If she loved me, then
why'd she leave me?

- I can't explain this son.

Now we've been talking
about that though?

Man, I love you man,
what's going on?

Listen to this guy man,
he giving me orders.

- Hey, hey, got a sale today.

- What's up Smiley?

- Young blood

- How are you doing?

- I'm dope.

- Smiley.

- Always a pleasure, sir.

- Doing good here.

Looking dapper,
smiling up a storm.

- Always talisman Smiley baby.

- Timmy, you serve Smiles man.

And look here, tell you what,
when you go to the barbershop,

tell Shanny, I said give
him more scratcher

- We're good, I
can show you a bit.

- Is everything okay baby?

- Everything is fine baby.

The crew is taken care of
the neighborhoods, already.

And the family is flourishing.

- I totally agree.

- All because of you baby.

- Really?

Thank you baby.

- I love you dearly.

- I love you too.

- There's something I
want to talk to you about.

- I'm listening all ears.

- Timmy.

- What about Timmy?

- I need for him to
take over the family,

should something happen to me

and I want you to
carry that out.

His father grew on me and I've
grown him, knows what to do.

And y'all got this,
you understand?

- I totally understand.

- Let the family know
that this is what I want.

Timmy is a fly on the wall.

He'll be fine.

- Okay, I'll do.

- His father took care of me
and I'm taking care of him.

So let that'd be done.

- Yes baby, I'm on it.

- That's what I'm
telling my baby.

That's why I love you.

- Thank you baby,
I love you too.

- Thank you baby.

- Would you like any
coffee or anything Littles?

- No I'm good, thank you.

Girl, bring it here

- Tell Timmy goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Goodnight little ones

- All right, work for the day.

Here's some numbers,

packages that we
received the other days,

the numbers are looking good.

- Well, well, well, tell Smiley
to keep up the good work.

- Most definitely, now
the Willie Black thing

that you took over
his territory,

straight to the roof, excellent.

Take a look at it.

- Look, do we need
to change anything?

- I'm thinking, if
it's working out,

I don't want us to really kind
of tip it over or whatever.

Let's just stick to the plan.

- It'll work.

- Okay, now we have one
problem, the West side,

Gloria's numbers are low,

reason being Burgess,

Burgess's expecting an
envelope from her every week.

And it shows in her
paperwork, take a look,

you tell me what you think.

Should I pay her a visit?

- Yes, pay Glow a visit.

And I wanna together bring
the rest of the family

and see how we can put up
a solution to this Burgess.

- No problem, I'll
show down to Glow,

and I'll inform her
about the meeting,

and set a date and time.

She'll call me and
I'll go see her.

In the meantime, these are
the rest of the numbers,

I need you to go over
everything, all right?

- Good.

- I made it worse.

- Was that Littles
that just left?

- Yes, he went out to the West.

- So how the family
business going on?

- Some of it is good,
but we have a problem,

we have to deal with Burgess.

He's cutting in to Glow's money,

in that white envelope

and that hurts the business,

but I asked Littles and
Esquire to handle it.

But we need to get the family
together to get the solution.

- So, how sooner is this?

When are we gonna
get this started?

- Immediately.

- Immediately?

- We must get this done.

- Okay, I understand,
I'll make some calls.

- What's the problem?

- Problem?

- What is the problem?

- The problem?

- That's what I thought.

- The problem, okay.

Okay.

The problem.

Don La
Bianca, the man of peace,

the man who trained Cloth,

he asked Timmy to
come to Chinatown,

have a sit down with him,

so he could try one last
ditch effort to bring in peace

between this Doc Mays
and Timmy Gibbs stance.

- Hey Timmy, how you doing?

Glad you guys came,

make yourself comfortable Punch.

You're welcome to join us here

and my guys here in Chinatown,
like the home, okay,

please, be comfortable.

Timmy, thank you very much

for coming to Chinatown
to see us, really,

I'm very happy to see you.

- What is this about?

- Listen, there's been a lot
of action on the streets.

We don't know what's going on,

but it's not running smoothly.

- We have a situation
with Doc Mays.

- We gotta do
something about it.

We gotta fix it,
everyone's got to eat.

- No disrespect, but
this is not about money.

This is about my loyalty,
my respect and my

- I understand, and I'm
a man and you're a man.

So I respect that.

But at the same time,

we got a lot of people out
there and it gotta be protected,

we got a big pipeline,
it's gotta keep flowing.

So something's gotta
be done, I think.

- Doc Mays has been out of hand,

and I need to
handle this my way.

- I understand Timmy,

I understand where
you're coming from.

I'd like to see some peace,

I'd like to see
things settle down,

but I respect what
you're saying.

- You not going through what
I'm going through right now.

But I wanna put a stop to
this situation, myself.

I understand

Thank you for coming,

and when I sit
here, God bless you.

- Thank you.

Hey Sylvia.

- What the fuck
is you doing here?

Slim's keys.

Is she breathing?

Clean that shit
up man, all right.

- Heading over to the
Pool Hall right now,

had enough of this shit,
I'll tell you that right now.

We're gonna stop this

and we're gonna stop
it once and for all.

Get those guys and get your
asses over there, don't be late.

All right?

All right, bye.
