But while back in Washington, D.C., he makes some time to watch Agnes from a safe distance, though Cooper has asked him to stay far away.

He begs Red for his help, telling him what has happened to Dembe in order to try to bring him back. Cooper eventually locates Red in Cuba after passing through a few people who vet Cooper in some unusual ways, like cracking an egg and asking him what he sees in the yolk, before getting to Red.
