The Shield - Vic-Slow Fade

WARNING: Contains footage from the finale! Do not watch if you have not yet seen the episode!!

Slow: "Slow Fade" by Casting Crowns

Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see

In which episode does vic sicc a dog on a rapist?? Episode?, season??

[iadoreshield]

@doeboyelsancho That happened in Season 4, Episode 4 "Dog House"

[unchartedfan818]

@iadoreshield y did he go crazy?

[iadoreshield]

@unchartedfan818 Lem! The case he was working on reminded him of Lem. I don't recall the details, but I checked the imdb page and it says, "Vic's helplessness for not saving Lem boils over after he fails to play peacemaker in a gang war." (Also in this episode, a box of books Lem had ordered online arrived for him, assuming he'd be in prison.)

[pianoman2460]

what episode is 0:49-0:57?

[iadoreshield]

@pianoman2460 Vic attacking Armadillo is from season 2, episode 2 "Dead Soldiers" and a little from the next episode, "Partners."

The last clip with Ronnie is from season 2, episode 8 "Scar Tissue"

this is fucking epic, 5/5

can't believe its all over...

[calvis05]

This is a great show, and you have put together a really solid video that really demonstrates Vics deterioration over time and how it tears his family apart. Excellent video, great job!

[MichaelChiklisCares]

[juneshopper]

Another great show, I don't have FX, so had to rent the seasons and it kept me riveted until the final ending. This is a good vid, showing a lot of the highlights over the year.

vic mackay is the coolest son of a bitch on screen since mr blonde from reservoir dogs he is simply a guy that all guys want to be like .

Vic was evil. He justified with righteous acts. Like all of us do.

[WhiteMousse1980]

@POOLIO01 That was in season 6, where the young man who was trying to get out of the drug business dies on the way to the hospital. The episode was incredible, showing Vic in a state of flux, dealing with Lem's death, and his ex's dream about Lem in the afterlife. Vic felt in a way that if he could save the kid that he would in some way save Lem. The meltdown scene had me bawling.
