Exactly. I can tolerate the unrealistic fukkery because at the end of the day, this show is bringing the CIA and Reagan's evil deeds to light on Primetime television. Probably the most mainstream display of how crack did major damage to the Black community. They ain't gonna teach that in public schools anytime soonI had to turn my brain off.
After that, I enjoyed the fukkery.
LMAOO! That scene had me dying . Then the CIA agent just casually walks away.This shyt was insane
Hello?! He's still here!! Teddy Come on Teddy tell em the password
Teddy:
The Operator wondering if they heard those gunshots right:
Franklin:
I dont think Franklin would expect that it'll be flat out left alone but he was confident that whatever was going to happen would happen AFTER he had already gotten the money. They made Veronique press Franklin over being broke and the banks coming to make it more plausible that he would accept half (its not).I watched the episode again and got damn Franklin is so naive or maybe just straight up desperate. You really think you could just escape with the money from the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY?! The same agency that was using you to fund a war in Nicaragua?! The same agency that aledgedly killed JFK?! The same agency that was behind a bunch of coups in South America, Africa, etc?! That had been trying to kill Fidel Castro for decades?
Now even if Franklin didn't know about all that, this is the most powerfull intelligence agency on the planet. You're not going to walk away freely.
Women always be a mans downfall smhI dont think Franklin would expect that it'll be flat out left alone but he was confident that whatever was going to happen would happen AFTER he had already gotten the money. They made Veronique press Franklin over being broke and the banks coming to make it more plausible that he would accept half (its not).
But the other part of it is that Teddy is NOT CIA anymore. He is really just Havemeyer's asset. He was hoping the money would buy his way back in and it's why Havemeyer is more like over everything. Even his boss told Havemeyer to cut the operation (Teddy and the money) loose. And that was even after Havemeyer told him Franklin killed Teddy's dad. He only cared because the KGB agent was involved. That whole scene was to show Havemeyer thinks Teddy is fukking up and to show that his boss dont want shyt to do with it anymore. The money, the KGB, none of it. Thats why Teddy hadn't given the CIA the money yet. So from a writing aspect, they were hoping to create an atmosphere where the outcome was plausible. CIA not coming after Franklin because the CIA isn't involved anymore if it's not the KGB agent. They dont care about the money. Thats what that whole scene with Havemeyer talking to his boss was. To show that they dont care about Teddy (and Franklin by extension) and for Havemeyer to cut ties because they didnt want the exposure once they realized that is what the KGB was trying to do.
Now, Cissy killing Teddy means the CIA proper will get involved because Cissy will snitch in prison and blow the whole thing open. Which is exactly what Havemeyers boss was trying to avoid. She literally created the situation where NOW Franklin will get targeted by CIA.
Too much emotions and no logical thought. Care about your grand child but set him up to be broke with no dad Breh. Literally coulda wait til he gave the password lolWomen always be a mans downfall smh
so teddy is officially invited to the BBQ?
She was the one trying to tell Franklin that you cant believe anything Teddy says and that he shouldn't kill Teddy blah blah blah. Yet she ended up the only person who wanted to kill Teddy and only the person to believe that bullshyt he said about Puerto Rico. She even made Teddy go " bytch are you serious right now? Im on the phone. I shot his ass and dumped him somewhere. Excuse you".Too much emotions and no logical thought. Care about your grand child but set him up to be broke with no dad Breh. Literally coulda wait til he gave the password lol
