Goofs
When Gina steals the cab at the airport, she has to back off to a different road, and we can see that the Mercedes has only one backup light working (the right one). However, a few minutes later, when she is ramming the van in the parking garage, she backs off, and both of the backup lights are working perfectly.

After the pickup at the airport, the taxi driver is speaking, apparently on the phone. According to the closed captioning, this is described as "cab driver speaking German". The driver is actually speaking Turkish.

When Liz types in the passwords, they are visible in plain text. Passwords are almost always encrypted and what should have been seen are either dots or asterisks.

Ernst Jürgen: [Coughing as he drinks liquor] I cannot drink any longer but I like to forget that. We Germans are experts at forgetting. We forgot we were Nazis. Now we have forgotten 40 years of Communism - all gone.

Q
How do Smith and Jones find Martin at Gina's apartment?
A
Smith (Olivier Schneider) was following Martin, probably ever since Martin left the Adlon Hotel after being discharged from the hospital. He was seen following Martin into the subway, and he later shows up at the hospital where he kills Nurse Gretchen (Eva Löbau) and tries to kill Martin, who has just undergone another MRI. Some viewers have also suggested that the wristwatch Liz gave Martin may have contained a tracking device.
Q
Are the two flowers that form Bressler's password real?
A
Yes. Calochortus albus (Fairy Lantern) is a native California plant in the Lily family. Umbellularia californica (California Bay) is a native California tree that resembles a bay laurel.
