Just a slight nitpick, here; the shooting script was changed dramatically, so the quoted lines were never said. What was said was "I'm starting to think you've got a little too much time on your hands, Doctor." and it's right before this line that we see the bushes rustle. Mal and many others in the crew frequently refer to Simon as 'Doctor' so it didn't seem at all forced or awkward. In fact, it wasn't until the fourth or fifth viewing that it really clicked with me.
So everyone had it basically right, just the specifics that were a little off. 'Safe' is the only script in my Official Companion that had such drastic changes to the final version. Nearly all the changes are noted at the end of the script in the Companion.

You could at least put the original version on and a note that you changed the other version.

No worries. I didn't know they did anything like that. Maybe you could just take that vid off

Can I add one here - I can't see how did they locate Simon and River?

(Freaky concidence - the random piccy at the side there is showing them at the stake as I type this!)

You mean how did BDH find the Tams? Or the kidnappers?

If BDH, at night, a town full of torches, viewed from space and considering Simon's near-miraculous talent for alienating folk, probably easy to top the list of candidate locations for investigation.
