Viewers will learn finally how it will end for Detective Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis). Vic faces threats from all directions,
primarily from his damaged protégé Detective Shane Vendrell (Walton Goggins), who Vic knows killed their former partner
Detective Curtis Lemansky. He also is faced with losing his badge, as Captain
Claudette Wyms (CCH Pounder) is on the verge of pushing him off the force so
she and her precinct can clean up Farmington without the stench of police
corruption. Further complicating matters is the fact that Vic is unaware that he
and his family have been "green-lit" -- or marked for death -- by Diro
Kesakhian for ripping off the Armenian money train and that Shane is the one who
gave him up. The other detectives in Vic's precinct include the troubled Julien
Lowe (Michael Jace) and resident "choirboy" "Dutch" Wagenbach
(Jay Karnes), who's got a soft spot for female officer
Danielle Sofer (Catherine Dent).
"The Shield" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
