I can't believe how many people on here and social media are stuck on the “Verinique rode with him until he put his hands on her and then she did what's best for her child“ and “Cissy sacrificed herself to free him because knew the money would ruin him when none of that was even remotely true based on the events of the show and they just block out the part where Franklin wanted the millions so he could get out of the game. In the Veronique case she went behind his back trying to sell the property and when he confronted her and put his hands around her neck for it she took ALL the money he had left and dipped. It's clear as day that Cissy shot Teddy for revenge for killing Alton, if she had killed Teddy after Franklin got the money, Teddy would have been dead, Franklin would have his money, he would have gotten out the game and became a legit businessman
I can dig all that. But in the eyes of the Saint, it was ALL OR NOTHING when it came to this real estate thing. He saw that downtown property as the ONLY WAY to get out from under the influence of 'the game'. Losing the property was a 'sign of weakness' to his 'ENEMIES'. This is the ONLY reason he was trying so hard to get the money. ANY money (just like a crackhead). The reality is that he still could have found his way out of it (as has already been pointed out by D24OHA) with the lesser properties that he ALREADY OWNED and was free and clear of any debts with. It just would take longer than he previously planned. In the drug game, Saint was the King. But in the real estate, they were PARTNERS. She might have been a minority partner but her knowledge was equal to that of Saint.
I contend that Franklin Saint became ADDICTED (as I said in my previous post) to the allure of fast money and that is what drove him completely insane. To the point of every act he committed in the last two episodes. Alcohol was the crutch that actually brought him back to a little reality.
*Evidence that he lost his mind* He wanted Leon to give him ALL THE MONEY he had (3 mil) for the downtown project (even though it wouldn't even be enough) leaving him high and dry in the business that he was already in. If Leon gives all that money, he is DEAD, he has nothing to pay for anything to his people. But Saint ain't give a rat's ass about that. He really would have tried to rob his best friend (his brotha really) if all them cats were not there. CRAZY
