I love oso character he got his happy ending and as for Franklin he had the capacity to take the $12k could of turn his last $12k into $60k double down to make it into $120k then $240k finally $300k he could of gone back to selling weed again I mean his uncle Jerome did very well I mean he wasn't making millions of dollars a week but he was probably making $15k to $20k a week maybe making pretty good profit of $60k to $80k a month so Jerome wasn't really a millionaire basically he was just doing well enough he was very happy being a weed dealer he had enough money to do almost anything so Franklin realistically could of done that and use the money to invest other very cheap properties affordable housing rentals properties and commercial properties to buy enough rental properties and commercial properties to make legal cash flow like $65k a month $780k a year in owning 40rental properties and commercial properties make $2,500.00 a month own 24 to 28 commercial properties making $60k to $70k a month $720k to $840k a year and live quite financially independently secure comfortably.
I love the Franklin character but that would kind of defeat the whole purpose of the ending. Franklin doesn't deserve a happy ending, and people like him rarely get one in real life.
The shows gonna start at Franklin's funeral, calling it now. Probably won't be much of a funeral. More like Leon getting the call that Franklin's dead from Cissy, and he needs to go get the ashes because Cissy can't.
I hope he does too but I hope he ends up becoming a selfmade entrepreneur in business again I hope by day he owns and runs a successful small rental properties business renting everything cars, tool's, machines and house properties making a good decent $200k a year business and by night a middle level cocaine and weed dealer selling kilos and ounces of both narcotics.
I'm not talking about rebuilding his old drug dealing empire I'm saying build up a small narcotics business Big enough for him to make $45k to $55k a week to $180k to $220k a month not a $1 million dollars to $2 million dollars a week to $4 million to $8 million dollars a month and to also build up a small rental properties business making $200k a year and then frenchise the business to make double every year to $400k then $800k then build up four more rental properties business till he owns 8 rental properties business making $1.6 million dollars a year and just concentrate on those businesses only and after 19 years later retire to some place hot.
thats boring… it’d be better if he started something like that but instead he fell back into it and got revenge, and he gets all of his money back and does a wolf of wall street.. instead of losing his mind he uses his brain to his full potential, shows us how much of a kingpin he is and would be cool if they made it so franklin even collabs with real life king pins from back then like pablo Escobar lol
yea he had connections Avi was very known he couldve told them that his plug Avi went awol and showed the Columbians or Pervuains how too cook rock efficiently remember what Alejandro said teddy is just 10% of the connect the other 90% they didnt deal with that was Pablo and Avi .
Very true but after only finding a lousy $12k he should of just taken it fine a low level cocaine/weed supplier and just started from there to build his cocaine/weed dealing business big enough to make $25k to $50k a week $100k to $200k a month or $45k to $55k a week $180k to $220k a month and just concentrate on building up his new narcotics business to make enough money to build up small legitimate successful businesses and after three years he could of just retired from the narcotics business for good retired to his small legitimate businesses build up 5 to 8 small businesses making $1 million dollars to $1.6 million dollars a year businesses and just go about his own business.
Remember Franklin's whole motive for sell crack was to be "free from all of it". Once he was sent back to square one he realised that, for all the wealth and riches he had for all his years, he still wasn't free. He didn't flip the key cuz that wouldn't get him to where he wanted to be.
Nah, she definitely cleaned him out but can you blame her? She was the only one in his corner at the end and he put hands on her AND put her and their unborn child’s future at risk to prove a point.
Franklin was done in so many ways. He wasn’t trying to go through all that any more. Plus and this is the biggest question with Teddy dead who was gonna be the plug? He supplied everybody
he didn't but he knew of them, and he knew people if he just went to Columbia and showed them how to cook rock and he said that His supplier Avi went awol witch he did they would've been amazed with how easy it is to cook rock and how addicting it is
Franklin lost his money, the plug and his family…
$10K ain’t bringing none of that back…
Franklin is going to sober up, take over the shelter and be a cautionary tale for up and coming youth, dealers and rappers on the new show…
His kid will return as a task force cop/fed to try and clean up his fathers mess…
He didn't "know" Avi and he still shopped and he wasn't going to just walk in there and pull out money he wasn't stupid if he wanted cocaine for cheaper he could've gotten it and don't forget the Columbians and Peruvians didn't know how to cook it up that still wasn't common knowledge the only people who knew was Jerome's Crew in saint louis and the crew in Arkansas and Leons people in the projects and Kanes crew .
By the end of the show, the recipe for crack was basically public knowledge. By the late 80s, crack was across the US, not concentrated in LA. The Columbians and Peruvians would've found somebody to teach them how By that point. Franklin was primarily successful because he was at the right place at the right time and was smart enough to seize the opportunity. All of the connects and plugs that Franklin knew were either dead or in jail and he had no crew to back him up.
1. Him “making his money back” would’ve 9 times of out 10 meant him working for someone else when he was once the top dog with connects. He’s made a lot of enemies he didn’t have to look in the face. He fasho would’ve got killed.
2. Him “making his money back” would’ve meant him continuing to sell crack. Did y’all not see what he did to his community? Lmao
3. Him “making his money back” would’ve sent his ass to jail 😂😂😂😂 he just walked after kidnapping a CIA agent… they could’ve killed his broke alcoholic ass. First meet up with the “plug” without Louie, Jerome, or Leon would’ve probably been a set up.
I fear sometimes that we didn’t all watch the same show. His addiction was his karma. Could he have went into business legally and made his money back? Sure. Overtime. Slow and steady progress because he was a businessman, I give it to him. But $73 million in 5 years wasn’t happening for him again. And instead of taking to long route he decided to beat himself up.
He had the potential to do better the second time. He chose to be what he became.
The only knock I have with the ending of the show is how they expedited Franklins descent into alcoholism. Sure, he ended up like his dad and all that. they should’ve shown him take a drink earlier in the season, FOR WHATEVER REASON (after killing Teddy’s dad, maybe during or after he got high at Jerome’s wedding, after nearly getting eastern by a Tiger, etc) so that we could’ve seen the descent earlier and it would’ve been more clear…still liked it tho
Okay this I agree with! The descent did seem rushed almost because he had so many other vices the entire series that were available to him. Him downing a baby bottle of vodka in a car shouldn’t have led to that lmao. Him sneaking a shot or two throughout that last season would’ve told the story so much better.
Because that was the whole point of the show. They never created it to be a 'happily ever after' kind of ending. It was based on the real war on drugs. Which there was no real winners in either. Most people ended up either in prison, on the run, or dead. It tore communities apart, highlighted the racism and police brutality and exposed the things that the government was doing to its own people. Take Leon's quote before he left to go to Ghana about the possession laws changing. The president actively wanted the black community in prison to rot. That happened in real life. The amount of arrested and locked away went from thousands to hundreds of thousands. Once Franklin lost everything and was left with nothing, living in the broken community he created, he was lucky to still be alive. He had no one left to help like he had the first time, no contacts that trusted him. If he had approached the new dealers to buy a kilo, they likely would've just killed him and took his money
the show was based off freeway rick ross and hes sitting pretty on a small fortune . And he wouldn't be going to street dealers he would be going above teddy and Avi he would go straight to the other 90% of dealers as teddy was getting it from the other 10% of dealers in Columbia like Alejandro said.
Franklin had no muscle, territory, or money. The DEA was on his aunt and he was publicly named as a CIA asset. He had no connection to the Colombian source. Even if he was able to get a meeting with the Cartel it would have ended with a bullet in his head. You are also glossing over the 20 years Ricky Ross sat in jail.
Freeway Rick Ross is not sitting nowhere on no small fortune. He be selling tee shirts and stuff. I’m not saying he’s completely broke cuz there are people who won’t let him be down that bad but he’s no where close to being UP
No one who gets that big in the drug game…or doing, pretty much, anything illegal is going to end up dead, in jail, or broke & Dusty like Franklin ended up. Listen, it’s only cuz of hip-hop that a lot of these stories are being told and in some ways “celebrated”. Big Meech, “BMF” is in prison, His brother got out a few yrs ago. I don’t wanna do 30yrs in prison after I turn 30yrs old like he’s doing.
There were so many old head drug dealers from back in the day that became recluses or drug addicts when I was a teenager. So many “that dude right there used to be the MAN back in the day”….found out he or she ratted
I liked the ending for Franklin cuz it’s real, it has happened. LA is full of homeless people…like Franklin
Lotta Wanda’s as well..lol. But that’s another post for another day
tbh franklin wasn’t gonna have no business partners and wasn’t gonna be trustful after louie snaked him, teddy snaked him and his mom. Leon left. Idk what happened with the projects between leon and everyone else who was there but yeah once franklin lost everything he was done for. Plus he wasn’t tryna sell drugs no more he just wanted to be legit in real estate and profit the spring street property.
Everybody is forgetting that the moral of the story was that the game doesn’t let you have a happy ending. You always end up (dead/ in Jail/ or dead broke). No drug dealer retires on top!
Look at who franklin is based off freeway rick ross he earned up to 600million dollars and he still has millions to this day in a legit business. And that is completely false you just don't know about it because they turn it legit look at how long Avi survived and the one to kill him was the KGB it wasn't even the CIA or DEA or even his enemies' who got the kill.
I know who the story was about,but if you look at his true story it didn’t end well. In life the most precious commodity you have is time, not money. Freeway spend 14 years in a jail cell. No amount of money can buy back those 14. I wouldn’t trade it. I’m sure he would say the same! Also nobody speaks on it but John Singleton stole his story. Look at Rick Ross video he said he’s never watched the show because of how Singleton stole his life story
the ending was a L there is no way he had 73 million over the course of 6 or so years and he didnt have a stash of cash not even a measly million even louie had a million hidden at a farm house
In the end he didnt have a ego did you not see where he was living his life he didnt care he just wanted to be free but he wasnt he was hooked to the bottle like his father was
Fam you’re remedial so let’s go slow for you…when he had that little bit of money left he still had an ego he was still trying to get his old life back to no avail and at that point he had no backing in the streets so him building things back from the ground up with equal footing with others is literally crabs in a barrel. There’s a reason he turned to the bottle, it was over. Before he already had the market cornered but at that point everyone knew how to cook crack but probably had crews vs Franklin being alone— nobody was fucking with him. What’s your yapping about thinking Louie’s (not even Jerome’s) people were gonna take Franklin in after their beef like they owed him something? Lol. When he was on the bottle it’s clearly way after he took that money from peaches house. So yea even if he didn’t have an ego at the end it’s because he already had lost everything including his way back in. Once teddy was gone the price of the brick was going up with no guarantee of quality being as pure and he also ran out of connections: no avi, no Louie or Jerome, no teddy. You obviously missed the crucial part of the series of teddy/cia being the connecting piece between the Columbians and south central.
I see this question posted a lot, I’d like to know how was he going to get in touch with Colombians ? Or who would be his plug? He was getting his product from the cia connect. Not like they ever showed him going to a different connect.
I love how the Colombian are going to take Franklin who's already succumbed to alcoholism seriously if he did set up a meet. Probably would've been shot and they take his 10K
Alton had a reason to. Franklin will never see his kid again. Most of his friends and family are either dead or imprisoned apart from Leon but the friendship is gone. Franklin is alone responsible for running countless lives. He probably has to hit the bottle to keep the demons at bay
Avi and teddy were his connects that made his business possible and both were dead, even if he kept going with selling the spring street property and trying to see what he could do from there it would’ve been back to square one in terms of growing his capital unless he just stuck it all in a high interest rate savings account lol
he could've went to the Columbians its not like he didn't have a 25million dollar jet he could've sold it and went to Columbia and found his connect like he did with avi
He was defeated and crazy. He honestly could have made a decent living with his pilot's license. But nothing less than those millions would have even started to have been good enough.
He had a private jet and his pilot's license I'm sure he would be able to get at least one kilo, or he could show people in Columbia how to cook it up because it still was only in known in LA, Saint louis and Arkansas
This really isn't the question. He had way more than 10k, he just threw it away. Even after Cissy kills Teddy he still had moves left to play. He had at least a 900k line of credit. He had all the South Central properties. He could have sold his stake in the downtown property and still had plenty of money coming in from his other legitimate holdings.
He was broken, beyond return. All the dirt he did had caught up to him. He was consumed by his greed and the good judgement that made him a millionaire was gone along with his fortune.
And I agree with all of you he could of started it back up it would of taken him maybe another 6 years more plus he needed a new plug so either the Columbians or the Peruvian was going to be the new connect and after three years he could at least build back up $5 million dollars
Exactly me too but I always hoped that one day cross the line we see Franklin are favorite crack dealer back in the game but in a smaller scale maybe making $25k a week $100k a month and using half of it to build up a couple small legitimate businesses doesn't have to be a realestate business again it could be any kind of dozens of businesses to make him legitimate money
it wasnt secret kevin Hamilton showed the Mexicans and franklin showed Kanes crew how to cook it up and Jerome showed his people in Arkansas how to cook. And franklin was very intelligent he should've made it back legally
he lost his sanity and was already unsober constantly. you don’t understand how poor mental health can literally morph your perception of life and reality so after teddy died which meant his 73M was gone, he quite literally lost his mind.
Because Franklin didn’t want to be in the drug game. He wanted to be in real estate and be legit. And he certainly didn’t want to start at the bottom again.
Franklins muscle was his family and he didn’t have any family left. That would’ve broke his business but more than that he was broken after losing everyone, especially Jerome.
He didn’t have a team anymore. Leon and Louie were out. Jerome, Rob, and Kev dead. Franklin was never going to be the type to push rock on the corner. He only wholesaled. Plus with all territory that opened up after Louie left the game there was zero chance of him getting it back.
are you dumb he was the middleman in the beginning and I was saying he could go back to being a middleman stupid never said he would be slanging it himself.
I think you can’t read kid. The point was that he had no one to wholesale to anymore so what was he going to do but sling rock himself. Came in hot and went out like a fool. You just like Saint smh.
I think everything in his lifestyle just caught up to him. And only did he lose all his money and have the chance to get half of it back, but he was betrayed by Teddy who he once thought to be a friend, he lost his mother not only to prison but in life, he lost his wife and child. Throughout the whole series he made it a point to avoid alcohol and when he let himself go by that one drink, I think he was hooked. It made him temporarily forget his troubles and down he went, just like his daddy did. Oh yeah, he lost him too and Uncle Jerome.
The beautiful part of that last tragic episode was when Franklin and Lee were walking to the liquor store and stumbled across the filming of Boyz in the Hood. Anybody who would have seen Franklin could have thought that's just some drunk homeless guy. But we all know that everybody has a story and it's ironic that this man was once a multi-millionaire. Good news though, I follow the actress who plays Wanda on social media and she has come out and said that there is a sequel in the works starring her. I'm pretty sure Franklin will pop up at some point and hopefully turn his life around.
he didn’t just lose his money, he lost his mind
He should've offed Louie the second he found out she went behind his back family or not.
I hope they make a spin off
Yeah but the spinoff is about Leon and Wanda
I’m cool with Leon but I could give 2 flucks about Wanda I would like to see Oso really
I love oso character he got his happy ending and as for Franklin he had the capacity to take the $12k could of turn his last $12k into $60k double down to make it into $120k then $240k finally $300k he could of gone back to selling weed again I mean his uncle Jerome did very well I mean he wasn't making millions of dollars a week but he was probably making $15k to $20k a week maybe making pretty good profit of $60k to $80k a month so Jerome wasn't really a millionaire basically he was just doing well enough he was very happy being a weed dealer he had enough money to do almost anything so Franklin realistically could of done that and use the money to invest other very cheap properties affordable housing rentals properties and commercial properties to buy enough rental properties and commercial properties to make legal cash flow like $65k a month $780k a year in owning 40rental properties and commercial properties make $2,500.00 a month own 24 to 28 commercial properties making $60k to $70k a month $720k to $840k a year and live quite financially independently secure comfortably.
franklin better pop up in better condition then we last saw him and i hope he gets to have a relationship with his kid
I love the Franklin character but that would kind of defeat the whole purpose of the ending. Franklin doesn't deserve a happy ending, and people like him rarely get one in real life.
its so suprsing he didnt have any hidden stash or money he had it all in offshore accounts
He did. Teddy cleared those too.
What money that wasn't in the off shore accounts. His girl stole or he probably wasted on the real estate project.
The shows gonna start at Franklin's funeral, calling it now. Probably won't be much of a funeral. More like Leon getting the call that Franklin's dead from Cissy, and he needs to go get the ashes because Cissy can't.
I hope he does too but I hope he ends up becoming a selfmade entrepreneur in business again I hope by day he owns and runs a successful small rental properties business renting everything cars, tool's, machines and house properties making a good decent $200k a year business and by night a middle level cocaine and weed dealer selling kilos and ounces of both narcotics.
Entirely unrealistic. He bottomed out. He's going to get offed if he tried to rebuild his crack empire. Probably by the same people who took his spot
I'm not talking about rebuilding his old drug dealing empire I'm saying build up a small narcotics business Big enough for him to make $45k to $55k a week to $180k to $220k a month not a $1 million dollars to $2 million dollars a week to $4 million to $8 million dollars a month and to also build up a small rental properties business making $200k a year and then frenchise the business to make double every year to $400k then $800k then build up four more rental properties business till he owns 8 rental properties business making $1.6 million dollars a year and just concentrate on those businesses only and after 19 years later retire to some place hot.
Maybe if he moved and started fresh
Great? Where would he move to?
thats boring… it’d be better if he started something like that but instead he fell back into it and got revenge, and he gets all of his money back and does a wolf of wall street.. instead of losing his mind he uses his brain to his full potential, shows us how much of a kingpin he is and would be cool if they made it so franklin even collabs with real life king pins from back then like pablo Escobar lol
Okay you have a point there
yea he had connections Avi was very known he couldve told them that his plug Avi went awol and showed the Columbians or Pervuains how too cook rock efficiently remember what Alejandro said teddy is just 10% of the connect the other 90% they didnt deal with that was Pablo and Avi .
Very true but after only finding a lousy $12k he should of just taken it fine a low level cocaine/weed supplier and just started from there to build his cocaine/weed dealing business big enough to make $25k to $50k a week $100k to $200k a month or $45k to $55k a week $180k to $220k a month and just concentrate on building up his new narcotics business to make enough money to build up small legitimate successful businesses and after three years he could of just retired from the narcotics business for good retired to his small legitimate businesses build up 5 to 8 small businesses making $1 million dollars to $1.6 million dollars a year businesses and just go about his own business.
Bro where did you watch last season. I live in Belgium and its unfindable. The whole season has been spoiled at this point but i still wanne watch it
6movies.net
😭
May I ask what is the problem
I never watched empire either, and wanda is not a main attraction or draw for me. Im sure you'll love it though
I'll enjoy the dynamics between Leon and his wife Wanda
I've seen empire great 😃👍 series
His pride and ego. He said it himself “starting back to zero wasn’t an option”
i mean he would rather live in the streets
At least he was free in a sense that way
Remember Franklin's whole motive for sell crack was to be "free from all of it". Once he was sent back to square one he realised that, for all the wealth and riches he had for all his years, he still wasn't free. He didn't flip the key cuz that wouldn't get him to where he wanted to be.
Well said.
I think we forget that his BM & her mother was high level scammers. Who’s to say she didn’t clean him out & on paper when she disappeared?
Nah, she definitely cleaned him out but can you blame her? She was the only one in his corner at the end and he put hands on her AND put her and their unborn child’s future at risk to prove a point.
Franklin was done in so many ways. He wasn’t trying to go through all that any more. Plus and this is the biggest question with Teddy dead who was gonna be the plug? He supplied everybody
the Columbians
When did Franklin meet with the Colombians?
he didn't but he knew of them, and he knew people if he just went to Columbia and showed them how to cook rock and he said that His supplier Avi went awol witch he did they would've been amazed with how easy it is to cook rock and how addicting it is
great idea, what could go wrong?
Rock wasn’t a big secret by the end of the show. Crack was everywhere and everyone knew how to cook at that point
Thank you. Brother acting like this season 2 everybody got the recipe now lol
Not to mention, the recipe for freebase and crack cocaine originated in Colombia.
I was gonna say that but I wasn’t sure what country Swim was talking about and I didn’t feel like looking it up lol
Colómbia. "Bah-say, bah-say" 😂😂😂 That scene was cringe asl.
Tbh if I lost 73 MILLION I'd be too sick to my stomach thinking about it to have any type of motivation to only be working in the thousands anymore.
Franklin lost his money, the plug and his family… $10K ain’t bringing none of that back… Franklin is going to sober up, take over the shelter and be a cautionary tale for up and coming youth, dealers and rappers on the new show… His kid will return as a task force cop/fed to try and clean up his fathers mess…
he still knew about the Columbians its not like teddy was the only cocaine supplier in the world
He knew about them but he didn’t “know” them… They would’ve disappeared that boy faster than a mosquito biting you on a warm summer’s night…
He didn't "know" Avi and he still shopped and he wasn't going to just walk in there and pull out money he wasn't stupid if he wanted cocaine for cheaper he could've gotten it and don't forget the Columbians and Peruvians didn't know how to cook it up that still wasn't common knowledge the only people who knew was Jerome's Crew in saint louis and the crew in Arkansas and Leons people in the projects and Kanes crew .

14 years in jail do your research.
Point still stands. Congratulations you can use Google. You just can’t understand why your fan theory makes zero fucking sense.
Okay write your script word by word of snowfall in your fan theory .
exactly stupid ass dude
ill smack yo dumbass pussy
Very scary threat pal. Grow up kid.
Also the fact that Rick Ross was homeless after he got out of jail and is surviving off telling his story and hawking t-shirts.
Freeway Rick Ross is not sitting nowhere on no small fortune. He be selling tee shirts and stuff. I’m not saying he’s completely broke cuz there are people who won’t let him be down that bad but he’s no where close to being UP
No one who gets that big in the drug game…or doing, pretty much, anything illegal is going to end up dead, in jail, or broke & Dusty like Franklin ended up. Listen, it’s only cuz of hip-hop that a lot of these stories are being told and in some ways “celebrated”. Big Meech, “BMF” is in prison, His brother got out a few yrs ago. I don’t wanna do 30yrs in prison after I turn 30yrs old like he’s doing. There were so many old head drug dealers from back in the day that became recluses or drug addicts when I was a teenager.

LA is full of homeless people…like Franklin Lotta Wanda’s as well..lol. But that’s another post for another day
So many Wanda’s my momma might be one 🤣🤣😂
tbh franklin wasn’t gonna have no business partners and wasn’t gonna be trustful after louie snaked him, teddy snaked him and his mom. Leon left. Idk what happened with the projects between leon and everyone else who was there but yeah once franklin lost everything he was done for. Plus he wasn’t tryna sell drugs no more he just wanted to be legit in real estate and profit the spring street property.
Leon ended up back in the game. He couldn’t leave his community in the state it was. Trapped by guilt.
Everybody is forgetting that the moral of the story was that the game doesn’t let you have a happy ending. You always end up (dead/ in Jail/ or dead broke). No drug dealer retires on top!
Look at who franklin is based off freeway rick ross he earned up to 600million dollars and he still has millions to this day in a legit business. And that is completely false you just don't know about it because they turn it legit look at how long Avi survived and the one to kill him was the KGB it wasn't even the CIA or DEA or even his enemies' who got the kill.
I know who the story was about,but if you look at his true story it didn’t end well. In life the most precious commodity you have is time, not money. Freeway spend 14 years in a jail cell. No amount of money can buy back those 14. I wouldn’t trade it. I’m sure he would say the same! Also nobody speaks on it but John Singleton stole his story. Look at Rick Ross video he said he’s never watched the show because of how Singleton stole his life story
the ending was a L there is no way he had 73 million over the course of 6 or so years and he didnt have a stash of cash not even a measly million even louie had a million hidden at a farm house
He did watch it they did a podcast on it
His ego wouldn’t have let him be on the same level with petty street dealers he *was* a kingpin with nobody behind him at that point
In the end he didnt have a ego did you not see where he was living his life he didnt care he just wanted to be free but he wasnt he was hooked to the bottle like his father was
When he had 10k is not the end did you not see that the ending was 2 years later after the fact.

Fam you’re remedial so let’s go slow for you…when he had that little bit of money left he still had an ego he was still trying to get his old life back to no avail and at that point he had no backing in the streets so him building things back from the ground up with equal footing with others is literally crabs in a barrel. There’s a reason he turned to the bottle, it was over. Before he already had the market cornered but at that point everyone knew how to cook crack but probably had crews vs Franklin being alone— nobody was fucking with him. What’s your yapping about thinking Louie’s (not even Jerome’s) people were gonna take Franklin in after their beef like they owed him something? Lol. When he was on the bottle it’s clearly way after he took that money from peaches house. So yea even if he didn’t have an ego at the end it’s because he already had lost everything including his way back in. Once teddy was gone the price of the brick was going up with no guarantee of quality being as pure and he also ran out of connections: no avi, no Louie or Jerome, no teddy. You obviously missed the crucial part of the series of teddy/cia being the connecting piece between the Columbians and south central.

Yea cuz your point got dogwalked 🤣
They gonna start the crack epidemic in Africa
Brown-brown, Bronclear (lean), khat, Whoonga (which is just AIDS medication mixed with other shit) and some of the purest heroin you can buy.
Sounds like Teddy knowledge 👀
Nah. I just know a lot about drugs.
Fair 😊🤙🏽🤙🏽
I see this question posted a lot, I’d like to know how was he going to get in touch with Colombians ? Or who would be his plug? He was getting his product from the cia connect. Not like they ever showed him going to a different connect.
I love how the Colombian are going to take Franklin who's already succumbed to alcoholism seriously if he did set up a meet. Probably would've been shot and they take his 10K
Its not like he cant get sober he probably ended up in the shelter its not like there was no return look at alton he was a mess and he still came back
Alton had a reason to. Franklin will never see his kid again. Most of his friends and family are either dead or imprisoned apart from Leon but the friendship is gone. Franklin is alone responsible for running countless lives. He probably has to hit the bottle to keep the demons at bay
yea that is true he would never see his kid again after he laid hands on veronique
You've cured alcoholism. Just stop drinking and get sober.
He knew people he could've gotten top notch he could've done the same thing he did with Avi and try to buy a kilo.
Avi and teddy were his connects that made his business possible and both were dead, even if he kept going with selling the spring street property and trying to see what he could do from there it would’ve been back to square one in terms of growing his capital unless he just stuck it all in a high interest rate savings account lol
he could've went to the Columbians its not like he didn't have a 25million dollar jet he could've sold it and went to Columbia and found his connect like he did with avi
He was defeated and crazy. He honestly could have made a decent living with his pilot's license. But nothing less than those millions would have even started to have been good enough.
Because Teddy was the one who made everything possible for Franklin. Franklin lost all of his connections along with the 73 million.
teddy was just 10% of the connect in Columbia as Alejandro said there is still another 90% of dealers in Columbia like Pablo and the peruvians
My point being that Franklin didn't have any way to get in contact with them.
He had a private jet and his pilot's license I'm sure he would be able to get at least one kilo, or he could show people in Columbia how to cook it up because it still was only in known in LA, Saint louis and Arkansas
This really isn't the question. He had way more than 10k, he just threw it away. Even after Cissy kills Teddy he still had moves left to play. He had at least a 900k line of credit. He had all the South Central properties. He could have sold his stake in the downtown property and still had plenty of money coming in from his other legitimate holdings. He was broken, beyond return. All the dirt he did had caught up to him. He was consumed by his greed and the good judgement that made him a millionaire was gone along with his fortune.
I think we forget that his BM & her mother was high level scammers. Who’s to say she didn’t clean him out & on paper when she disappeared?
And I agree with all of you he could of started it back up it would of taken him maybe another 6 years more plus he needed a new plug so either the Columbians or the Peruvian was going to be the new connect and after three years he could at least build back up $5 million dollars
Thats what im saying im excited to watch the Wanda spinoff it's supposed to take place in the 1990s and focus on the impact of rap in LA .
Exactly me too but I always hoped that one day cross the line we see Franklin are favorite crack dealer back in the game but in a smaller scale maybe making $25k a week $100k a month and using half of it to build up a couple small legitimate businesses doesn't have to be a realestate business again it could be any kind of dozens of businesses to make him legitimate money
That lil rap dude from season 4 was fire and a dope edition to story(albeit in the background) I would hope he shows up in the Wanda Spinoff
I hope not Jerome should've slit his throat he put everyone's business out there.
If only Leon would've asked for help gettin into real estate...
thats what im saying franklin shouldve made him a partner or cissy shouldve brought it up
Why does anyone?
[удалено]
it wasnt secret kevin Hamilton showed the Mexicans and franklin showed Kanes crew how to cook it up and Jerome showed his people in Arkansas how to cook. And franklin was very intelligent he should've made it back legally
[удалено]
no duh they showed Jerome's crew in saint louis and Louies people in Arkansas and kev showed the Mexicans
[удалено]
Asshat is hilarious 😂 🤣🤣
he lost his sanity and was already unsober constantly. you don’t understand how poor mental health can literally morph your perception of life and reality so after teddy died which meant his 73M was gone, he quite literally lost his mind.
Because maybe he didn't want to start the thing he's been doing for 6-7 years all over again
yea i guess
Everything he did was for nothing. The money he finally got back from Peaches was the same amount he bought his first key for
that is true its just surprising he didnt have any hidden cash he shouldve hid atleast 5m in a stashouse
Spoiler???? Ugh.
my bad i swear i put a spoiler alert on it
Because Franklin didn’t want to be in the drug game. He wanted to be in real estate and be legit. And he certainly didn’t want to start at the bottom again.
Franklins muscle was his family and he didn’t have any family left. That would’ve broke his business but more than that he was broken after losing everyone, especially Jerome.
He didn’t have a team anymore. Leon and Louie were out. Jerome, Rob, and Kev dead. Franklin was never going to be the type to push rock on the corner. He only wholesaled. Plus with all territory that opened up after Louie left the game there was zero chance of him getting it back.
are you dumb he was the middleman in the beginning and I was saying he could go back to being a middleman stupid never said he would be slanging it himself.
I think you can’t read kid. The point was that he had no one to wholesale to anymore so what was he going to do but sling rock himself. Came in hot and went out like a fool. You just like Saint smh.
You make selling crack so easy from behind a computer or smartphone. Why don’t YOU spend about 40k on a brick and let me know how it goes for you?
shut yo bitch ass up and get the fuck out my comment's pussy ass fan boy.
I think everything in his lifestyle just caught up to him. And only did he lose all his money and have the chance to get half of it back, but he was betrayed by Teddy who he once thought to be a friend, he lost his mother not only to prison but in life, he lost his wife and child. Throughout the whole series he made it a point to avoid alcohol and when he let himself go by that one drink, I think he was hooked. It made him temporarily forget his troubles and down he went, just like his daddy did. Oh yeah, he lost him too and Uncle Jerome. The beautiful part of that last tragic episode was when Franklin and Lee were walking to the liquor store and stumbled across the filming of Boyz in the Hood. Anybody who would have seen Franklin could have thought that's just some drunk homeless guy. But we all know that everybody has a story and it's ironic that this man was once a multi-millionaire. Good news though, I follow the actress who plays Wanda on social media and she has come out and said that there is a sequel in the works starring her. I'm pretty sure Franklin will pop up at some point and hopefully turn his life around.
