KEVIN:
My eldest.
NEVISON:
I know who Melissa is, Kevin.
KEVIN:
She’s very bright, she’s very
clever. We tried to get her in at
Salter Hebble High, but it’s
outside the catchment area. The
thing is. We - Jenny - it was
Jenny’s idea. She - Melissa - sat
the entrance exam for
St.Bartholomew’s.
(NEVISON’s impressed)
They’ve offered her a place. But
not a scholarship. There’s a lot of
competition. We’d like to be able
to send her there. But the thing
is. I’d need a pay rise.
(NEVISON doesn’t respond)
If we can’t send her there she’ll
have to go to Wellesley Hill.

KEVIN (CONT'D)
Which - you know - it’s - it does
its best, but. This is a great
opportunity. For her. At
St.Bartholomew’s.
NEVISON:
I don’t pay you peanuts, Kevin.
KEVIN:
No, Nevison, I know that.
NEVISON:
How much is it?
KEVIN:
NEVISON:
Ten thousand. And what about
Catriona?
KEVIN:
Catriona’s eight.
NEVISON:
Yes but she’s not daft, is she? You
can’t send one and not the other.
KEVIN:
We’ll cross that bridge when we get
there.
NEVISON:
Twenty grand a year for... five
years, most likely seven. That’s
just shy of one hundred and fifty
thousand.
KEVIN:
One forty, yes.
NEVISON:
Wellesley Hill’s not a bad school,
Kevin.
KEVIN:
Yes, no, I’m not saying it is
NEVISON:
A clever kid’ll do well wherever
they go. Look at me!
KEVIN:
That’s - yes - you’re a great
example to everyone. Of course,
Nevison. That’s
HAPPY VALLEY. EPISODE ONE. BY SALLY WAINWRIGHT 9.
NEVISON:
The thing is. I’ve got a hundred
and fifteen permanent staff working
here Kevin.
KEVIN:
I know how many people work here,
Nevison. I do their wages.
NEVISON:
If they all asked for a rise so
St.Bartholomew’s I’d struggle to
make a profit. Wouldn’t I?
KEVIN:
I didn’t necessarily mean the whole
amount
NEVISON:
I’ll tell you what I’m going to do.
Kevin.
(he smiles)
There’s something unsettling about NEVISON even when he
smiles. KEVIN doesn’t feel optimistic. He’s seen NEVISON
neatly sidestep things this way before.
CUT TO:
5 EXT. NORLAND ROAD POLICE STATION. DAY 1. 14.30 5
CATHERINE leaves work for the day, heading towards her
charmless nondescript 10-year-old car. 48-year-old RICHARD
(tie, big North Face jacket) is just heading across the road
towards her.
RICHARD:
Catherine!
CATHERINE turns and sees him but keeps walking; she’s got
somewhere to go.
CATHERINE:
Oh hello.
RICHARD:
I thought I might catch you! D’you
know anything about this man that
set fire to himself this morning?
