Other mistake: Julian McMahon's real Australian accent slips through when his assistant asks him if he should rest and McMahon says, "Later. First I have some unfinished business to attend to."
Other mistake: Johnny picks up Sue's clothes and hides them in his jacket after she strips on the bridge, but when the shot changes to the stunned crowd, we can see Reed and Johnny running off to the left. From the way Johnny's arms are moving, you can tell he is no longer holding the clothes.
Answer: From the look on Reed's face, I assumed he checked to see if he had the patch on his suit as well. He sees that he does and in order to hide it from the others in fear of Ben and Susan thinking he was involved, he hid it quickly and did not mention it.
