"Temptation Eyes"
|
Cut Scenes: In the first version of the script, dated 29th November 1991, Channel 12 News is named Action Eye News. The non-speaking detective is called Cho. The voiceover news report immediately after Tamlyn identifies Beche is by Powell (it's a female voice in the transmitted version). Ross notices a change in Dylan's behavior earlier in the episode. The montage sequence suggests that Sam is
sharing his memories of Glitter Rock, 8 1/2 Months, The Right Hand of
God, and The Wrong Stuff, with the additional voiceover "In my years of
leaping, I've worn many masks and been many people, but for the first
time, someone saw me for who I really was, and I could finally just be
myself. And even though I usually spend a few short days wherever I
leap, this time, I was here for two weeks. Somehow it seemed like I was
meant to stay". After the montage, there's a very specific interaction with Al where the hologram states "You can't be with her". Sam asks "Why not?" and the script informs us that "Al is torn whether to tell Sam about his wife, but he remembers the promise he made". He instead says "I can't say. And you're too Swiss-cheesed to remember". There's a follow-up discussion about tracking down the killer before Sam heads straight to see Ross. The sequence where he finds Tony Beche
takes place as part of the climax (in the episode the tension is
higher, as he apprehends Beche, then goes to see Ross and gets the call
proving that the killer is still at large). At the end, Sam promises never to forget Tamlyn - she responds "I bet you say that on all your leaps". The second version, dated 3rd December 1991 changed the newspaper referred to near the start from 'the morning Chronicle' to 'the morning paper'. The Beche confrontation happens earlier, snipping out the discussion about catching the killer, per the transmitted version. There's some minor changes to the speech
patterns of both Sam and Ross during their final showdown, and tweaks
to Sam and Tamlyn's farewell, all more closely matching transmission. |
