Did you just start watching? Teddy doesn't let anything go, he always kills his threats.Franklin just wanted the money to get to the banks for his shyt that was setup for him to be out the game. To him, anything else was secondary. He already showed he could handle Teddy if it came to that and he did it while being broke. And thats only if Teddy changed his mind about walking away. We have to assume the point of the writing (not characters) is that Teddy admitting to Franklin why he did it and admitting to Cissy what happened to Alton, that he was going to let shyt go. We heard him calling the escrow company so that wasn't fake so we have assume he intended on making the transfer. And Havemeyer wasn't there to double cross Franklin otherwise he wouldve shot them when Cissy killed Teddy. Everything was on the up and up at that moment...until Cissy.
