Just a question about the fact that the episode was this long - in the video I downloaded, there weren't any opening credits. I guess the version that aired on TV did have the opening credits, right? If so, where did act 1 begin?

Wow.. I didn't even notice how long it was. My episode was 53 minutes, including previouslies, and opening/closing credits.

The first scene ends with the police car passing by Elizabeth (on the street) and Philip (behind the fence)

Forgot to mention: it also came with subtitles. Which was weird. I'd looked all over for them before starting to watch and couldn't find any, and there they were, waiting for me.

The download from elsewhere on DW is 49m30s - that compares to 45m39s for s2e04 (inc 'previously..', and main titles, but no end credits).

It starts with Elizabeth banging on the door where Philip is hiding with Yossi. I noticed that there wasn't a 'previously..' I hadn't noticed it doesn't have any main credits either!

There is a glitch(?) where the bit where Arkady is listening to the radio new is repeated. My guess was that coincided with an ad break.

That's a defective release, PS. The version you want has "previouslies" and starts out with P & E regrouping after the car got stolen right out from under them.

There was an issue with the releases this week. Apparently a group that usually releases mkvs decided to just shove them into the mkv as-is. Eventually things got all sorted out though.
