As with most flashback episodes onThe Blacklist, everything is very confusing right until its not.

See, Hutton is the reason Cooper and the Real Raymond Reddington first crossed paths 30 years ago.

Were here to help stabilize this region, not bankroll rebels!

And thats what Hutton and Cooper were arguing about in the car right before the attack.

On the plane to Iran, Copper tells Red he wont look the other way again.

Ive carried this secret for way too long…

I plan to do the right thing.

And the Right Thing turns out to be getting Hutton back home.

But now hes out of secrets, and he plans to torture Cooper to get some fresh material.

That was really messed up what young Cooper did!

How do you do it?

Cooper asks Red on the flight home.

Wake up each morning content to live a lie… put on a face for the world?

Red tells Cooper that he doesnt.

First of all,rude, Agnes is an adorable Spy Kindergartener!

Okay,sure, lets go with that…for now.

And Reddingtons explanation to Cooper about the very question listed above is, I know because…

I know.YEAH, OKAY, SURE.

LETS GO WITH THAT.

FOR NOW!!
