Confused about restaurant scene
So it's not a big deal but....
Yelena tells X to go out the back of the restaurant because the sniper is out front. X doesn't want to because it will give her away... i.e. the bad guys will know she said something. Well, he stages a fight or whatever but still blinds the sniper before heading out the front door.
To me, it still looks like he was tipped off. Did I miss something?
