(S07E02) "Look, this list is like the standings in the sports section and every gang is making a playoff push." - Vic
The cohesiveness of the Strike Team has always been paramount to their successes. Trust is key and the second it ever lacked, people (Terry and Lem) got killed. More than anyone, Vic should know this. So for him to start this episode off by telling Shane that he doesn't trust him almost feels like the beginning of Vic's end. Regardless of Shane's past actions, Vic needs to trust him now if he wants his family safe, and more importantly, if he wants to save himself.
Perhaps someone who actually lives in the Boston area can shed some light on
this, but I was unaware there's an "anti-snitching" code among Bostonians, and that many are afraid to come
forward, even anonymously, to report crimes. That's exactly what John Walsh addressed when he was in the city recently
to tape an episode of America's Most Wanted, a show that combines anonymous tips and horribly-acted
reenactments to bring criminals to justice. He told the residents to do what's right and make the call if they know
anything. Residents, however, are apparently still wary of reporting anyone. The Boston episode will focus on two
separate homicide cases, and will air February 11.
