"A little ulcer never hurt anyone." Lem used to get ulcers. I think Ronnie remembered that for a second there.

That was the end.of the strike team

Love miss this show

Can’t lie I can’t look at Walton Goggins without thinking Uncle Baby Billy!

After Aceveda used Vic Macey and the Barn as a steppin stone for his greater cause of being a politician. It was Claudette who with her terminal disease paid the price for Vic’s termination possibly the whole prescient. That subtle really stays with me about this show. And like any good art, after the initial viewing the initial contact with our senses, it is the subleties of art that really stay with you, that transform and give it a larger meaning.

He should have taken her f*cking deal.

this show was as good as the wire, sopranos, breaking bad etc..

Ride her ass hard and put her away wet? WHAAAAT?!?

What did she mean when she said "_you_ people" 🤔

I wouldn't be surprised if aceveda iced him

Just finished the show yet again earlier tonight. Still blows me away. Shocking, intense, edge of my seat the whole time. Greatest goddamn show of all time

Presuming Vic managed to get a third to 50% of his pension, he'd have done alright. If he could've dropped the ego he'd have been able to double dip, get the pension and a smaller communities department salary and been comfortable, even with the divorce

What season and episode is this i forgit

Hugely underatered show.

He should have taken the deal with Claudette.

poor title, he bullshitted as much as he could get away with

"WHO YOU GOT VIC?!?" So visceral and real.

And later she would double cross Ronnie

He deserves everything that's coming to him and in this moment I still feel bad for him. 😭

The fact that Ronnie was actually shocked Vic was fired with no pension showed how dumb an delusional he was.

I love the way Vic never breaks his line of sight with Claudette because if she's not in the room, his eyes will wander to the sucide note and the photos, and he'll have to acknowledge they're real. So when Claudette DOES leave the room...

Lester is a Evil Poor Man's Dirty Harry. Just nasty and awful. Even Vic couldn't stomach him.

Always hated Corinne. She had no reason to go into witness protection. Vic, for all his flaws, would never hurt her or the kids

Billings bragging about his vending machines lmao

The Billings character had kind of an interesting development. When he first appeared at the beginning of Season 4 he seemed like your typical seen-it-all veteran detective. It wasn't until late in that season, with the gas station incident, that we got our first hint that he was more concerned with Number One than with courageous service to the law-abiding public. Then came the next season, when he was acting captain, and that's when we learned that he was totally a cad and a twerp.

"Even though it's true, we both know Steve didn't say that."😂 Dutch's attitude throughout this storyline is freaking hilarious. He was such an awesome character.

Ronnie deserved better

Shane was the ultimate crashout

Shane and Tina had a moment...but alas, it could never be.

Billings put in a solid effort here, he was focused and engaged in the situation 👍👏

Ok firing him???? He can go to the union to cancel that or be reinstated. It’s really hard to fire a cop.

Can they take away his pension, assuming he was fully invested? I was under the impression that pension is earned for the years he worked. It isn't a salary or a bonus that isn't his yet and therefore denied.

I think Shane faked his death, and started a new life as a transsexual hooker named Venus.

Vic the victim. acting like he cant understand why he's being thrown out of the department. even his own wife and kids said he deserves to be in prison.

Did we all forget dumbass mars stole 7 thousand from the marked bills which was the beginning of the end it stems from her

I just thought Vic shooting the cop who was supposedly gonna rat them in the face was over the top. He could have been just as disgraceful and off the rails without that happening. Or at least make the cop much more combative and spiteful and somewhat corrupt himself/ a hypocrite but the way they barely presented him and to have him murdered that just turned me off. Other than that amazing series. The funny thing is going in I thought he was some corny good guy like a typical cop series. Whoa 🤯.

Great show.

That subtle face drop at 1:12

This is fiction here.He is a white guy he'll be ok

A veteran LA cop terminated without pension? Would not happen in the real world.

Dirty Harry: Hold my 44 magnum

They were happy to use his tactics to get results. The tough arrests. To benefit off of him and then condemn him. He’s not good but neither are they.

Poor Ronnie.

Should have taken her offer

_”You choose your behaviour … you choose your consequences.”_

"I didn't get to say goodbye to my children." "You said goodbye to them the moment you shot another cop in the face." That sure put Vic on silent mode.

That's what he gets for messing with a no nonsense Black broad from the precinct.

If this happens a few years sooner, Vic would've found a way out. Instead, he was trying too hard, put his trust in the wrong man (Aceveda may not have been on his old kick but turning in that box sealed his fate) and that was that. Olivia repaying him with a brutal deal that essentially makes him a pencil pusher, when he could've sunk her by handing that file to anyone other than her... Yeah. I get Vic was far from perfect or good, but it's clear that after Lem died he wasn't the same after that. Finding out that Shane did it and then having Shane try to kill him (good thing that call kept him from walking in the house), most definitely had Vic feeling some kind of way. Vic was good at compartmentalizing and avoiding anything he couldn't get out of. By the end he was stretched so thin, he was cruising for a bruising.
