Prince truly has no concept that his good friend’s son had dedicated any crimes when he loans him his personal jet.
But a connection like that is music to Rhoades’ ears – think about the potential future president serving to a scammer flee the nation? This is his probability to take him down.
Once Prince discovers what’s occurred he is at a crossroads of what to do. Ruin his relationship with the scammer’s father, or threat all of it and wreck his presidential marketing campaign?

And so Prince comes out wanting just like the hero, and Rhoades is irritated. But not that irritated, as he is aware of that Prince is now conscious the authorities have eyes on him.
