Gene: "Bet you were the cleanest bloke in the country though."


Gil (nach kurzer Pause): OK."
Gene: "OK."
Gil: "OK."

After the make-up room scene, the International Version continues with Ale watching the show on a TV.
The UK Version shows Gene on his way to the studio and Alex explains what he could resp. should say.
Alex: "Because oft he charity connection, you could appeal to the members of the criminal community to come forward."
Gene: "Criminal community? We're talking about villains here, Drake, not the bloody Waltons."
Alex: "Jesus, guv. You can move directly consciences of people. And that is what television can do."
Gene: "No, that's what 'Songs of Praise' can do. Me, I'm here to catch crooks."
Chris: "Hey, guv, break your neck."
Ray: "Break your leg, Chris. Break your leg."
Alex: "So, stay calm…"
Alex and Gene keep walking but the camera sticks to Ray and Chris who are really excited because they are at TV studio.

The TV report is longer in the UK Version.
Narrator: "Did you happen to see a couple in Fechurch that afternoon, a man and a woman? Things that might have caught your eyes, the fact that they were wearing tracksuits with the hoods up. Now who would wear a tracksuit with the hood up? That could have been odd."

Gil's next interrogation is longer in the UK Version.
Gil and Gene are in the interrogation room. Gil precisely puts his stuff in front of him - thanks to his OCD.
Gil: "Look, I know I said I'd come in and help today, but you had a message for us that my son's had an asthma attack so I've got to go, really, his mother's worried."
Alex: "We didn’t mean that. We can do this another day, it's fine."


Gene: "Why did you go behind that billboard?"
Gil: "On the way to the bank? To have a Jimmy Riddle. So, so… sorry, I'm sorry. Can we do this another day? 'Cause Adam really is not well."


Gene: "How come a load of Ska Boys on that road all saw you going for a dangle, but never clocked the getaway car ten minutes later?"
Gil: "What you looking at me like that for?"
Gene: So you parked up and took the money with you?"
Gil: "Yeah! I'm not going to leave 20 grand in me car, am I? Look, those boys are thugs. I saw one of them climb up on me roof-rack and get in me bath. And then I tried to get in the car and they were looking for me bubble bath and rearranging all me things."
Gene: "What more can you tell us about this getaway car? You know, the Dutson. Or was it maybe an Allegro? You know, the yellow one, or or brown?"
Alex: "He was shot."
Gil: "I was literally shot!"
Gene: "So what? I've been shot loads. Oh, forget shot. He wasn't that shot."
Alex: "He passed out? How could he possibly remember anything?"
Gil: "It was over in seconds."
Gene: "Why, when we walked you on your journey, did you fail to mention that you stopped right in front oft he billboard? Why was that spot so bothering you?"
Gil: "Look, if you must know, it's about me peeing habits. I have to do it a certain way. And I have to count and I've got a system. And that's just the way it is. I had to stop in front oft he billboard 'cause I remembered that I hadn't touched it after I'd been."
Alex: "I'm sure Mr. Hollis didn't think that his renal habits would benefit the case."
Gil: "Look, I really really wanna help ya, with every fibre of me body. For those kids, those dying kids in Africa."
Gene: "When you caught a glimpe of this woman's face under her hood?"
Gil: "Not her hair or anything, just her eyes… 'cause of the balaclava. Her eyes, those eyes. DI Drake helped me remember those eyes."
Gene looks at Alex. He then looks straightforward and sighs.
Now, Gene gets up and says: "Right, let's round up those dodgy birds on your list."
