might press it without intending
to, and I’d like you to put it
down.
LIAM:
Leave me alone you stupid b*tch.
CATHERINE:
(water off a duck’s back)
You’re upset, and I understand
that. The point I’m making. Is that
with all these fumes - and frankly
I don’t know how you’re staying
conscious - you could go up any
second whether you intend to or
not, and once you go up, you won’t
just go up a bit, you’ll go up a
lot, and the other big thing to say
is, it hurts. Three seconds in and
you’ll be screaming at me to put
you’ll be begging me to shoot you.
Over by the YOUTHS, KIRSTEN’s radio kicks in.
RADIO:
Control to Bravo November nine-five
one-two.
KIRSTEN:
Nine-five-one-two.
RADIO:
I’ve got a negotiator on his way to

As they knew he would be.
KIRSTEN:
(light)
Okay.
RADIO:
He says the big thing. Is to keep
conversation.
KIRSTEN:
I think we’ve got that covered.
Back to CATHERINE and LIAM.
CATHERINE:
I’m Catherine, by the way. I’m
forty-seven, I’m divorced, I live
with my sister - who’s a recovering
heroin addict - I have two grown-up
children. One dead and one who
doesn’t speak to me. And a
grandson! So.
LIAM’s intrigued, but reluctant to ask
LIAM:
Why - ? Why doesn’t he speak to
you?
CATHERINE:
Oh, it’s complicated. Let’s talk
about you.

INT. NEVISON GALLAGHER ASSOCIATES, NEVISON’S OFFICE. 3
DAY 1. 11.30
We see the NGA logo, and in case we’re in any doubt, we also
see what it stands for: NEVISON GALLAGHER ASSOCIATES:
INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION. 42-year-old KEVIN WEATHERILL’s
sitting waiting to see his boss. KEVIN’s the firm accountant.
He’s nervous.
JUSTINE:
Nevison’ll see you now, Kevin.
KEVIN:
Oh, terrific. Thank you.
KEVIN goes into NEVISON’s office.
CUT TO:
HAPPY VALLEY. EPISODE ONE. BY SALLY WAINWRIGHT 7.
4 INT. NGA, NEVISON’S OFFICE. CONTINUOUS. DAY 1. 11.31 4
NEVISON’s busy at his desk as KEVIN appears.
NEVISON:
Kevin.
KEVIN:
Nevison.
NEVISON:
What’s up?
NEVISON’s in his late sixties, but he has the energy and aura
of a man half his age. Beneath the bluff exterior you never
doubt there lurks a shrewd businessman.
KEVIN:
Oh nothing. Nothing’s up. As such.
I - can I...?
(”close the door?” he
indicates. NEV doesn’t
respond one way or the
close the door)
Can I...?
(”Sit down?” he indicates.
Unsmiling NEVISON
indicates “Go ahead”)
The thing is. Okay. Melissa.
NEVISON:
Melissa.
