[last lines]
Raymond 'Red' Reddington : [to Lizzie] I think you don't want to give me the Fulcrum, because it's your only link to keep me around, and once I have it you'll never see me again.
-
Raymond 'Red' Reddington : The Deer Hunter is not in fact a brutal buck, but a delicate doe.
Donald Ressler : A woman?
Elizabeth Keen : I disagree.
Raymond 'Red' Reddington : The Deer Hunter used to engage his victims up front, in an act of sexual male aggression, but now has shifted to deploying tactics from far off, suggesting a feminine act of cunning. Serial killers usually last for two-three years, this one has been active for twelve years. For every rule, there is an exception. The reason you haven't caught your man is because he's a woman.

Raymond 'Red' Reddington : [sees Aram's hair] I used to have a teeming mane.
-
Raymond 'Red' Reddington : You tell me about the Fulcrum, and I'll help you get your Deer Hunter.
Elizabeth Keen : You're not even interested in serial killers.
Raymond 'Red' Reddington : True. I find them unimaginative and woefully predictable. But I am interested in the cases the FBI has wronged over the years.
Elizabeth Keen : Wronged?

Raymond 'Red' Reddington : When I was young, I wanted to dance. I saw Gary Cooper dance on the screen, it was wonderful. Years later when I saw Gary, he looked old and grey. It turned out he had a cracked heart valve, very difficult to fix. He was on a waiting list to the end of his days. Just like Elias.
Samuel Aleko : How do you know about my brother?
Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Elias will have to wait three years at least on that list before his name comes up, for consideration. I can get him a doctor in a week, no price.
Samuel Aleko : And why would you do that?
Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Because you're going to do something for me.
