0:00Did you know about Franklin Saint?
0:01The kid who built a drug empire in Los Angeles
0:04and lost everything trying to keep it?
0:06He started with nothing. Just ambition,
0:08a few ounces and a mind sharper than anyone around him.
0:11Franklin wasn't violent. Not at first.
0:13He wanted money, control and a way out of the world he was born into.
0:16But the deeper he went, the darker it got.
0:18He cut deals with the CIA,
0:20sold poison to his own people,
0:22turned friends into enemies.
0:23Every decision bought him power.
0:25And cost him something else.
0:26He built an empire on crack cocaine.
0:28Ran entire neighborhoods. Had mansions,
0:31cars and soldiers ready to die for him.
0:33But paranoia came next. He started trusting no one.
0:36Not his uncle, not his best friend,
0:37not even his own mother. He thought the money would save him,
0:40but it cursed him. Franklin lost everything.
0:43The people, the power,
0:44the empire. In the end,
0:45he wasn't shot, wasn't arrested.
0:47He just faded. A genius turned ghost.
0:49Drunk, alone,
0:50barefoot in the streets. He once ruled.
0:52He had everything and let it rot in his hands.
