Removed Scene
00:00 Business as usual: the Expanded Syndication Version starts with a recap, then the (regular TV) opening. (322.77 sec bzw. 5 min and 22.77 sec / no screenshots). Some credits follow and then we se the entire final scene from the end of the first pilot one more time - starting with Oscar opening the door of the phone booth. (88.1 sec resp. 1 min and 28.1 sec) Because this is only footage from the first pilot, I did not make any screenshots of that either. Subsequently, the versions are back in sync. Please note: it is very likely that the final scene of the first pilot is being repeated because it ends in the middle of the conversation. If one does not watch both parts in a row, one has the chance to watch the entire conversation in one piece. 410.9 sec resp. 6 min and 50.9 sec Removed Scene Expanded Syndication Version 08:14 Basically, the versions are the same here (Julian & exterior shot of the shp). But as often, the Original Broadcast Version fades to black while the Expanded Syndication Version does not. Resulting from that, the Original Broadcast Version is slightly longer. (no screenshots) Original Broadcast Version 1.07 sec longer Removed Scene 12:25 The Original Broadcast Version lacks the exterior shot of the casino. 3.63 sec
Removed Scene Expanded Syndication Version 12:28 The shot begins 3 frames earlier in the Original Broadcast Version. Original Broadcast Version 0.1 sec longer
Removed Scene Expanded Syndication Version 12:34 Ditto – except this time, it is only a single frame. Original Broadcast Version 0.03 sec longer
Removed Scene / Alternate Footage 15:10 The Original Broadcast Version lacks an exterior shot of Lucern (3.3 sec). Contrary to that, the following shot of the driving boat is longer resp. it starts earlier in the Original Broadcast Version (1.97 sec). Then an exterior shot of the Contessa's property (identical in both versions). Subsequently, a further shot of the boat (1 frame resp. 0.03 sec longer in the Original Broadcast Version). As compensation, the following shot of the guy is 1 frame resp. 0.03 sec longer in the Expanded Syndication Version. Then the boat again (identical in both versions), followed by another shot of the guy (1 frame resp. 0.03 sec longer in the Original Broadcast Version). The shot that shows the weapon getting loaded is identical, the shot of Steve and the Contessa getting off the boat is slightly longer in the Expanded Syndication Version (1 frame resp. 0.03 sec). With the following shot of the estate, the versions are back in sync. Please note: since those are only differences with a few or just a single frame that neutralize each other (scene X 1 frame longer in Version A, therefore scene Y in Version B is 1 frame longer etc.), there are no screenshots - except for the exterior shot of Lucern missing in the Original Broadcast Version. All in all, the Expanded Syndication Version is a bit longer (due to the mentioned additional shot at the beginning). 1.37 sec
Alternate Footage 16:17 The Original Broadcast Version contains a further exterior shot of a train (4.3 sec) while the Expanded Syndication Version shows the harbor (7.9 sec). 3.6 sec
Alternate Footage / Removed Scene Expanded Syndication Version 17:36 Two more shots that slightly differ. Furthermore, the following shot of Mel waiting for the Inspector starts earlier in the Original Broadcast Version. Original Broadcast Version 2.7 sec longer
Removed Scene 19:32 Another insignificant shot that is only in the Expanded Syndication Version. 2.93 sec
Removed Scene Expanded Syndication Version 19:35 The shot of the rat starts 4 frames earlier in the Original Broadcast Version. Original Broadcast Version 0.13 sec longer
Removed Scene Expanded Syndication Version 21:35 Basically, the shots are identical. But there is this "fade to black thing" again. As usual, the Original Broadcast Version is insignificantly longer (noe screenshots). Original Broadcast Version 1.2 sec longer Removed Scene 21:40 After that, there are two additional shots in the Expanded Syndication Version (guy & estate). 6.15 sec
Alternate Audio Track / Removed Scene Expanded Syndication Version 21:44 The shot of the Contessa lying on her bed asleep contains alternate music. Also, the shot is 5 frames longer in the Original Broadcast Version (0.17 sec).
Moreover, only the Original Broadcast Version contains a little close-up of Steve's bionic eye (1.97 sec).
Please note: This additional shot of Steve's bionic eye is probably supposed to state the obivous: the room is dark and Steve makes use of his bionic skills in order to take a look around in the dark. Kind of redundant though because the image looks already green which makes it pretty clear what is going on. Original Broadcast Version 2.17 sec longer Removed Scene 22:56 When Steve has left, the Original Broadcast Version instantaneously shows him in the car. The Expanded Syndication Version on the other hand continues with Dr. Bergner in her hotel room. She is sleeping. To be more specific, she is dreaming resp. she sees the memories of the dead guy again. Then a shot of the pier. With the shot of the car coming down the hill, the versions are back in sync. 57.5 sec
Removed Scene 24:03 Two more shots in the Expanded Syndication Version. 3.17 sec
Removed Scene Expanded Syndication Version 24:06 The the guy gets in position in order to fire at Steve, the shot starts slightly earlier in the Original Broadcast Version. Original Broadcast Version 0.13 sec longer
Removed Scene Expanded Syndication Version 24:12 Same thing when the guy aims at the car resp. at Steve. Original Broadcast Version 0.7 sec longer
