Factual error: When Tom uses Lena's glove to trigger the fingerprint reader he failed to realise it would provide the mirror image of the print. (00:22:59)
Factual error: Norfolk Naval Base is located on completely flat terrain and the areas around the base is devoid of trees in all directions for miles. The scene shows the ship with a tree-filled hillside across the water. Obviously the scene was not shot in Norfolk, VA. (00:32:08)
The Travel Agency (No. 90) - S5-E6
Factual error: The scene in 1989 has a VHS/DVD recorder in the left bottom corner. (00:01:00)
Character mistake: Tom's toe tag says that he was 33 at the time of death. In the next episode, Ruin, his Tombstone says he lived from 1985 to 2017, making him 32 at the time of death. (00:41:55)
Abraham Stern (No. 100) - S5-E11
Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the episode, Reddington is in a Mercedes S-Class driven by Dembe. This specific car model is mainly used by Reddington in his travels. The car is a 2013 W222 Mercedes S-Class. The interior is also depictive of the specific model W222. Suddenly, he gets into a car accident where the Mercedes he is in is not a W222 but a W221, an older model from 2006 to 2013. (00:00:08 - 01:10:00)
Abraham Stern (No. 100) - S5-E11
Character mistake: Reddington says that the 1943 pennies he is hunting are special because they were made of bronze when all other pennies were made of copper. The 1943 pennies were actually the steel pennies from WWII as to save copper for the war efforts, there were some copper errors that year, but the majority were zinc and not copper.
Pattie Sue Edwards (No. 68) - S5-E15
Character mistake: When Aram wears the CDC hazmat suit, the CDC personnel advises Aram that he has 20 minutes of air to keep him alive, making the mission time critical. What she says additionally is that "oxygen levels plummet and carbon monoxide (CO) levels rise" CO is not a byproduct of human respiration - carbon dioxide is.
Nicholas T. Moore (No. 110) - S5-E20
Continuity mistake: When they are in the hospital, Elizabeth is talking to the young girl and she closes the door behind her. The next time the camera shows Elizabeth's face the room door is open behind her. (00:06:15)
Factual error: Truro, Nova Scotia is not on the shoreline of Nova Scotia, but is in the middle of the peninsula.
Louis T. Steinhil (No. 27) - S7-E1
Factual error: In the beginning a woman is counting brown 200 Euro banknotes. 200 Euro notes are yellow.
Factual error: The grave stone in the cemetery shows the deceased rank as 1st Lieutenant, but the branch of service is U.S. Navy. There is no such rank in the Navy. The rank for an officer 02 is Lieutenant Junior Grade - Lt.Jg.
Chemical Mary (No. 143) - S8-E7
Factual error: French (and other nations) ATC rely on ground-based radar to track aircraft, not GPS from the cockpit of an aircraft. Meanwhile, whilst the aircraft that had been tampered with had compromised systems, the TCAS radar on the plane flying in the other direction would have alerted its pilots to take avoiding action.
Ogden Greeley (No. 40) - S8-E8
Factual error: During the scene in a London bar, the emergency exit sign is red (and not green as required by UK law). The signs adjacent to the toilets are unlike the ones regularly seen in the UK, as are the US style light switches and a 110v power outlet in the ladies' toilets.
Dr. Laken Perillos (No. 70) - S8-E10
Continuity mistake: At the start, Reddington and Dembe are talking to a garageman. He has a protective helmet on him. They zoom in and out of him, and show him from side and front. The strap on his helmet is different every time. One time it's over his ears, one time fully above it, and the next is sits low on his ear. All this within a short minute-long talk.
Revealing mistake: Aram "hacks" an employee database via a company website - the code that's briefly visible on screen (slo-mo helps but isn't required) is just standard HTML that lays out a web page, not server commands.
Helen Maghi (No. 172) - S9-E16
Factual error: Harold tells Raymond he'll repay the bail money, but given he's pleading guilty and fully intends to go along with required court appearances, etc, the bail money paid will be refunded - it's not like Raymond is out-of-pocket.
Factual error: The airline boarding pass from Melbourne, Australia to Zurich shows the code MLB, instead of the correct code MEL. The code MLB is for Melbourne Orlando International Airport in Florida. (00:58:40)
Answer: The man Red killed, Sam Scott, was Lizzie's adoptive father, not her biological one. However, at that time Lizzie (and thus the audience), was led to believe her real father abandoned her and her mother, so expect more secrets to be revealed how her real father actually died (or if he's even actually dead).
