He states they will not hesitate to kill him and everyone dumb enough to follow him. Franklin then clarifies that Manboy knows about the drive-by and knows how Jerome would act, explaining he would be waiting for his retaliation with an army armed to the teeth.
Jerome is getting impatient with Franklin as Renny and a few other arrive with a duffel bag full of weapons. Franklin tells Jerome that he wants to people who almost killed Louise as much as he does but they have to play it smart. Leon states he paged him, and Jerome walks up to his nephew, daring him to man up. He gets the car keys from Peaches, orders him to keep an eye on Tanosse, and leaves the apartment.įranklin is now in the Projects with Leon and sees an enraged Jerome arrive with an MP5 in hand, who is demanding to know why Franklin is there. He tells the other person to 'keep him there'. Instead of reaching for his weapon, he checks his pager and makes a phone call. Franklin makes it clear they would never know. Tanosse then asked if he would have let the betrayal slide had she told him why she reappeared in his life, citing how merciless he has been to folks who crossed him. She then asked Franklin what she was supposed to do and Franklin stated she should have came to him and told him the truth. She then told them how Manboy gave the word to his boys inside to beat Julius to an inch of his life, but not kill him. Tanosse then explained that Manboy refused to let her off the hook and threatened to kill her and her brother, Julius, who is currently in prison. Franklin then asks how her story got them to where they were. She even spoke about why she fell for him in the first place so she attempted to pull out of Drew's offer. Franklin claimed he was a child back, and Tanosse stated they are no longer children and took Manboy up on his offer, which explained her appearance at Louise's nightclub on New Years Eve.
Tanosse pointed out that was ages ago and reminded him how important she was to him until he decided to move to the next best thing. Franklin then figured out that all she had to do was get close to him once more and play him. Franklin assumed it was to pay her to find the plug, and Tanosse stated her offered 100 grand and states she saw the money, claiming it would have changed her life. She then explained how he re-emerged again a few weeks later with an offer for her. She stated how he knew about her past with Franklin and stated they were partners. She started telling her side of the story about how she and her friends were at the Red Onion on her birthday which is were they ran into Drew who quickly recognized her. After being exposed as Manboy's mole, Tanosse is being interrogated by Franklin and Peaches at her apartment.
