The Brooklyn Apartment

Tara finds an apartment in a mob neighborhood down the street from her sister. She asks Steve to come help look at places for the baby. He goes to the hospital instead. The door closes behind him.

Eleven O'Clock

Steve flies to New York with his security team ahead of Evie's birth. Tamper screws set to eleven o'clock. NYPD drivers on shift. The birth of his daughter is being planned alongside logistics that have nothing to do with joy.

Evie is born by emergency C-section. Steve sleeps in a chair for four days. The Walsh family fills the corridors. Then Tara gives him Adderall, and the fog returns.

The Morning After

He returns to the Brooklyn apartment after four days in a hospital chair. The tamper screws have moved. The air smells wrong. Something adhesive settles on his face. Then Tara and her father arrive and tell him to leave.

The Sheraton

A chaotic sequence of locations after leaving the Brooklyn apartment. Motel 6. A rest stop meeting. An evidence box with items missing. A local officer's warning: don't trust anyone.

Crabtree's Kittle House

The first supervised visit after the emergency order. Steve surrenders California jurisdiction to see his daughter. The grandparents bring Evie to a parking lot in Chappaqua. Maura refuses to let go. Walsh Sr. intervenes. The child calms in her father's arms and cries when she sees her grandmother.

The Ambush

The last supervised visit ends at dusk. At the gate, a blacked-out SUV. Two men in camouflage. The supervisor who documents what she saw is removed from the case. The judge recuses herself without comment. Steve never sees his daughter again.
