Quotes

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.
