Awesome / Blue Heelers

• Special mention has to go to Superintendant Clive Adamson. In his sixties and uncouth for his rank, he is part of the takedown of a group of gunmen. The group, a woman in particular, is considered particularly scary, and had already broken out from prison. After the shootout involving a speeding vehicle, a machine gun fired on the police and a shotgun used to take out the engine, Clive flattens the biggest of the gunmen when he breaks from the group of younger officers trying to restrain him.
• Nick gets a memorable one in Report of Damage and Loss where he recounts trying to save a little girl during a flood. Told mostly in black & white, Nick swings from emotionally saying how he tried to anger that he couldn't save her to rage at Adam because he thought he'd abandoned them. Adding to the awesome is this story is not a murder, rape or drug case, but something every copper might be confronted with.
  • Nick might even top that in the earlier episode Tough Love where he tries to save Tom's daughter from the clutches of a cult. Seeing how worked up he gets, and the performance of actor William McInnes, puts other top quality shows to shame.
• When Nick returns to the show as a detective he is quietly threatening a suspect in the station bombing. Nick then roars in his face, scaring him so bad he pisses himself.
• Tom gets one in the second episode when dealing with a tax collector who uses intimidation, threats and hired criminals to bully money out of the poor.
  Most tax collectors treat their customers like decent human beings. You however treat them like shit.
