A private jet carries Evie from Teterboro to San Francisco. Steve waits at the other end. What he cannot see — what is happening simultaneously in text threads with Jesse, Matan, and Walsh Sr. — is that Tara has planned the exit before the arrival.
Three months before the departure, Tara texts a friend asking to be kidnapped. On June 4, 2018, she walks out with Evie and calls an Uber to a bus zone. Bryan Crutcher jumps in the back seat. The recording captures everything — including Tara telling her father that police will arrest her for poisoning Steve. Walsh Sr. tells her to come home. Then agrees to conditions he later admits, under oath, he was never genuine about. Tara flies to New York and never returns.
A message arrives from Tara. Dramatic, accusatory, the kind of thing she sends often enough that it reads like noise. The phrase about abandoning their daughter is a warning. Steve doesn't recognize it yet.
