12 Most Shocking Betrayals In TV History

6. Vic Sells Out Ronnie - The Shield

When your team is as riddled with corruption and bonded by lies and violence as the Shield's strike team, you just know things can only hold together for so long before something starts to break. That much was clear when Shane murdered Lem, but we could have spotted that one coming a mile off. We were in fact supposed to.

Vic and Ronnie, on the other hand, seemed solid. They were best friends and Ronnie was the most level-headed of the crew, though nobody should confuse that with him being a good man, by any means. They were all monsters and them getting their due was always likely. It was just the manner of it that stung.

Having always been Vic's rock, Ronnie saw his loyalty repaid by his best friend's betrayal as he was thrown to the wolves and it was only as he was hauled off by cops that he realised the true monster that Vic was.
