Raymond "Red" Reddington was known for brokering deals for criminals.

BELOW: Red points out that terrorist Ranko Zamani is Serbian Orthodox, so he wouldn't have a tattoo.
Raymond Reddington: "I need you to tell me what Zamani said... In the house, what did he say? What did you see?"
Agent Elizabeth Keen: "He, uh, asked about the Chemist, about the girl..."
Raymond Reddington: "No. What did you see?"
Agent Elizabeth Keen: "Uh, there was blood. There was blood everywhere."
Raymond Reddington: "Take a breath, Lizzy."
[Agent Keen probes her memories. She recalls seeing something on the back of Zamani's hand - a mark, a symbol.]
Agent Elizabeth Keen: "There was a tattoo."
Raymond Reddington: "He's Serbian Orthodox. He wouldn't have a tattoo."
Agent Elizabeth Keen: "I know what I saw. This mark, I've seen it before."
[Agent Keen probes her memories further. She recalls seeing the symbol somewhere else - on a pamphlet for the D.C. zoo. It is a symbol used for the zoo.]
Agent Elizabeth Keen: "It wasn't a tattoo. It was a stamp. Zamani's gonna bomb the D.C. zoo."
