Whatever it Takes

aka (in the style of Friends) - T.O.W. Bill went KABOOM!!

CHURCH: Chicken got shot BLIGH: Go on CHURCH: He's dead

DANNI: What's happening? How's Stonie? PETE: How's Stonie...Alive, yeah! How's Chicken? How's his widow? How's his kid?

CHURCH: Are you getting counselling? STONE: WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? CHURCH: You need it.

BLIGH: That's where toeing MacKenzie's partyline will take you and do you know where it leads? - Straight out of the force and straight into jail. Do not pass go, do not collect your superannuation.

BLIGH: And he was cooperating too. So he wanted to go straight as well, yeah?... It must be hard seeing a man you've come to know. Someone trying to change there life, shot before your eyes just as they're about to make it. Especially if it transpires that the shooting wasn't necessary. What's your view on that? CHURCH: I don't have one. BLIGH: What you're saying is it's of no consequence of whether or not he was justifiably shot.

Later On...Bill has finally convinced Mac to go away with him to Bali for 10 days...He calls her on his mobile, says he'll be a bit late and he'll meet her at the airport. Even later...Mac is waiting at th airport and getting worried when she sees Pete. She walks outside and he gives her the news - the viewer is given no insight into what is said yet Mac starts to cry and Pete hugs her tightly as the final credits roll.

Detective Inspector William "Bill" Hollister 1998 - 2001 Nicholas Bell - We wish you well! Thanks for giving us a fantastic, down to earth, sweet (maybe a little pathetic) but familiar and layered character all the same - one we'll never forget! :P
