Marjorie: "Yeah, I know where the Legion is."

The bold-marked dialog is missing in the TV Version.

Cam: "He left at 11:40 p.m. and no one saw him again until the next morning."
Marjorie: "That's because he was busy raping and murdering his daughter."

The bold-marked dialog is missing in the TV Version.

Cam: "I know but honestly, it's not your concern. Sarah, you didn't even know Ariel."
Sarah: "I'm sorry? Alison, Trent… June? The Executioner targeted them. Killed them because of their association with this girl. When I think about what she must've gone through… it almost makes me wonder whether The Executioner is actually doing God’s work."
Cam: "What?"
Sarah: "Marjorie's lying. You know it and I know it."
Cam: "No. Hey, the other day… Those things, all that shit I said… I'm sorry."

Chief Vaughn: "Withut floating it by me first!"
Cam: "Yeah, well, I tried. And you weren't here and you weren't answering your phone."
Chief Vaughn: "Well, I would've said no. What did Marjorie say? Did you come up with anything new?"
Cam: "No, just the same old bullshit. But this time her facts don't line up. And we tried pressing her."
Chief Vaughn: "We? Jesus Christ, Cam. You just burried your wife a week ago."
Cam: "You're gonna watch what you're saying, sir."
Chief Vaughn: "And you're gonn wanna top thinking with your dick and start thinking like a cop! And until you can I want you to go home!"

But Dylan is not on board: "To what?"
Lisa-Ann: "The biggest story since Casey Anthony."
Dylan: "Yeah, well, I'm not sure everyone shares your enthusiasm."
Lisa-Ann puts her glass back on the table: "OK. I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding."
Dylan: "No. No misunderstanding. You chose Alison over me but then she got her head deep-fried."
Lisa-Ann: "OK. So then, how do I make it better?"
Dylan: "What are you offering?"
Lisa-Ann: "What do you want? More money? Done. Air time? You'll be my go-to guy on this case. We can talk about bringing you in on a permanent basis. Why don't you come by my hotel? We'll order a bottle, do a little career planing…"
Dylan: "A book deal."
Lisa-Ann: "I'm sorry. What?"
Dylan: "A book deal. True crime. All of the killings started 30 years ago."
Lisa-Ann: "I'm not a publisher, Dylan."
Dylan: "You've published four books. And you didn't write any of 'em."

Sarah: "How convenient."
Dylan: "And you think it's a…"
Sarah: "Of course."
Dylan: "Put you on the record?"
Sarah: "On the record?"
Dylan: "You're the last person to see Marjorie alive. The police are saying one thing, you're saying another."
Sarah: "I'm sorry. Are you asking if you can interview me?"
Dylan: "Sarah, listen to me. There's something going on here. And it's all tied back to Ariel. Now, if one person reads this and remembers something the night Ariel went missing, we could crack this case."
Sarah: "Dylan, a woman I saw this afternoon is lying dead in a motel room because Cam and I got to close to something."
Dylan: "That's my point."
Sarah: "And instead of asking if I'm Ok, you ask if you can interview me."
Dylan: "Fine, fine. No interview. How insensitive of me to try to help you find a missing girl, alright?"

When Chief Vaughn enters the boat shed, the Blu-ray shows him from a further distance. When The Executioner takes action, the Blu-ray cuts to the closer angle as well. Due to the different angle, only the TV Version reveals that The Executioner is already for Vaughn in the shed - Vaughn walks right passed him. On Blu-ray, The Executioner is incredibly hard to spot because one can only see his arm. This leaves the option that The Executioner entered the shed right after Vaughn did.
