He was an idiot to do it. There was no proof he committed any of those murders and other crimes, just Shane's hearsay. That's no kind of proof at all. Wouldn't hold up in court.. He could have just confessed to taking a cut of drug money a few times, and saved himself from Olivia's wrath.

If Ronnie was included in the deal neither Vic nor Ronnie would’ve confessed to every single crime the strike team committed. The only reason why Vic confessed to everything is because if he didn’t Ronnie could’ve used that to get himself immunity which would nullified Vic’s deal.

[@stanleymcquade6412]

Does it really work like that? An immunity deal works by confessing to said crimes, and having another person who worked with you who did the same shit corroborates their stories.

[@reginaphalange9417]

[@marianegonz5947]

such an intense scene 🫢🫢

[@sfcd4757]

The whole Ronnie scene.....brutal

[@KibaRanger_Kou]

The constant takeaway from fans is "How awesome Vic is" but he made some COLOSSAL blunders leading up to this. Mentioning the bar to Dutch. The idea that Corrine couldn't possibly screw him over never once crossed his mind. Emolia speaks for herself. And thinking for one second that he'd ever work in the field again after this like the Immunity deal was going to be a nice reset switch on everything totally blew up in his face. He's a total bum in the finally. Got exactly what he deserved.

[@Journey95c]

Sure he made mistakes but he was still incredibly smart for most of the show. Easily the smartest member of the team. Lem was too nice, Ronnie lacked leadership qualities and Shane was the biggest dumbass (caused 90% of the problems) Vic usually had crazy plans and and manipulated tons of people with no problems, even his ending is better than what the others got

[@LenGott8345]

Yeah, Vic stumbled quite a bit but up until the Armenian Money Train it wasn't anything he couldn't tidy up. Once that blew up and the team basically splintered as a result of it, that was it. Lem was the conscience of that crew. His death hit Vic the hardest and finding out that Shane did it, complicated things quite a bit. They couldn't just end him with the knowledge that he could easily sink Vic and Ronnie with a confession. But as Vic so noted to Shane in their last conversation, his biggest downfall was thinking he was better than Vic when he wasn't. Vic's problem was believing that after all he did, his family understood and loved him in spite of it. He was dead ass wrong in the end. The confession by Vic was him releasing years of what he carried around and compartmentalized. In the end, Shane was exposed as the weak link. In the end, Ronnie went down for the mistake he was too smart to make. Sorta. Claudette getting the satisfaction of seeing Vic leave The Barn disgraced, probably provided some solace for arresting him for all he did.

[@willn8664]

[@Q_res]

As amazing this ending was, and it was incredible right down to the look on her face when she realized she just torched her career, it's always bothered me a little bit. I just always found it kind of hard to believe that anybody would have signed off on this insane immunity deal. Though it's not in this clip, shout out to CCH Pounder for her acting as Claudette watching this confession and clearly wanting to strangle someone.

[@hal560]

I think it was a fairly realistic plea when you factor in that it nailed another cop (Ronnie) who, in the eyes of the law, was just as bad as Vic, even though we the viewer know he was arguably the least involved. She also likely had no inkling that Vic was as atrocious as he was. I think she expected him to confess to selling some drugs stolen from dealers or benefitting financially from his relationships with the underworld. Instead he straight-up admits to premeditated, cold-blooded murder of a police officer from the beginning of his confession and possibly makes her realise she underestimated who she was giving immunity to. We see how shocked she and the man behind the mirror are when he admits to killing Terry. Had she suspected the level of violence Vic was involved in, she probably wouldn’t have offered such a generous deal. She was probably more willing to grant such an immunity deal because she knew the job she was forcing Vic to enrol in was a greater punishment than prison (desk job with one ten-page single-space report a day) and that if Vic couldn’t perform well enough in the job, he’d lose it and therefore go to prison for violating the terms of his agreement. Basically, it’s not quite as insane as it sounds and it probably set Vic up for prison anyway.

How much authority and flexibility do we give these public servants who are entrusted to protect us all? It's a fine line and highly contentious among the populace. Now of course this doesn't mean I advocate for cops personally lifting drug dealers stashes to re-sell on the black market, beating truly innocent victims for information, or robbing and murdering others like Vic and the Strike team did, but I think this question in particular made this series one of the best shows on television.
