Haylie had received a call from Kate that Liz and Kirk were in Cuba and she knew from the tone of Kate's voice that they were still there. Haylie arrived in Cuba hours after Red with the only intention of joining Kirk's team as a nurse. She communicated through back channels and found herself at a type of bunker where she was led into a room where Liz was sitting.
Haylie felt it had been far too easy to get into his operation but she had gotten in and that's all she cared about. She walked into the room, well was shoved in and saw Liz. Haylie raised her finger to her lip so Liz would know she was there with a cover and not as herself.
Liz managed a weak smile as Haylie fought the urge to embrace her best friend. As the two girls sat there staring at eachother in silence, the door opened and Kirk walked in.
"Masha, I see your friend found us," he said gesturing toward Haylie . Liz looked confused, "My name is Elizabeth and I've never seen your new 'nurse' in my life," she refuted.
Kirk shook his head as a small chuckle left his lips, "You don't have to play me for a fool. I know this is Agent Haylie Storm," he confirmed as he directed his attention to Haylie , "You honestly thought you would be able to get in here so easily if I didn't have a use for you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Haylie replied, keeping her tone confused.
"Masha, I am your father and I will prove it. Reddington has been keeping you from me for 26 years. He took you and I lost all hope until I saw you on the television as a wanted fugitive. There was even a time he thought he was your father because he and your mother had an affair," Kirk began as Liz shook her head, unwilling to listen.
"Where's my daughter and my husband?" Liz asked, ignoring everything he had just said.
"Your daughter will be here soon," he replied as he turned back to Haylie once more, "And as for you, I believe I will finally get my revenge on Reddington. He took the love of my life so maybe I will take his," he said, his voice low as he swept his finger from her cheek down her jawline.
Haylie remained calm but Liz wasn't having it as she stood and punched Kirk in the face.
He stood to tend to his nose while a guard stormed in. Liz broke a chair on the first one but the second had a gun drawn on her.
"Liz," Haylie slipped up saying her name with concern.
Kirk waved off his guard who quickly exited the room. Kirk looked at the girls, "See, I knew you two were good friends. Now, Miss Storm, you'll be coming with me for my own purposes."
Haylie nodded but spoke, "Do what you want but it won't affect Red. He values finding Liz much higher than me and his true love was Katarina so this won't pack the punch you're after. And, he broke up with me when he thought Liz was gone so you aren't taking anything from him."
"If you think so little of yourself then this will be even easier than I imagined," he replied as he smiled at Liz, "I'll bring your friend back shortly," he grabbed Haylie by the arm and dragged her out of the room, Liz's protests being heard through the walls.
Kirk dragged Haylie into another dimly lit room in the compound where he sat her down and took a seat across from her.
"This will go much easier if you cooperate," Kirk said as he placed his hand on her knee.
Haylie shook her head, "If you want to get back at Red, you are going about it the wrong way. He won't care if you rape me. So, go ahead and get it out of your system."
Kirk shook his own head in reply, "You aren't making this any fun."
Meanwhile, Red had a lead but he needed help from the team he had just quit. He called Aram.
"Mr. Reddington, is Liz really alive?" Aram asked, his tone nervous over the phone.
Red nodded as he answered, "Yes, but she is in the hands of Alexander Kirk. I need your team to find the next Blacklister because he will be the key to finding Kirk. He goes by Esteban," he explained.
"Can you tell us anything that will help us track him down?" Aram asked.
"He is a double agent and the CIA knows exactly where he is. Get their help and then you can help me. May I speak to Haylie ? We didn't part on the best terms," Red asked, changing the subject as he realized they didn't have to be over after all.
Aram inhaled deeply, "She's not here."
Red was taken aback by Aram's response, "Aram, where is she?"
Aram sighed as he replied once more, "She left Thomas with Samar and she went to Cuba to infiltrate Kirk's team and get Liz back," he cringed at being the one to share this news with Red.
Red closed his eyes as he took in this development, "Have you heard from her?"
Aram stuttered in reply, "N-n-no," then he had a thought, "But, she might have her phone. Let me see if I can track it!"
Red sat in silence waiting on Aram to give him a location as he thought about how upside down his world was. He should have known his stubborn Haylie would take matters into her own hands but Kirk could do so many terrible things to her.
"Mr. Reddington," Aram said, interrupting Red's thoughts, "I have a location."
