CUT TO:

INT. BRETT’S FLAT, SITTING ROOM, SOWERBY BRIDGE. DAY 11. 9

CONTINUOUS. 09.09

LEWIS is sitting on the floor in a scuzzy, stinking flat,

surrounded by empty take-away containers, empty cans, rubbish

of many varieties. He’s with another 22-year-old lad, a smack

head, who’s crashed out on a smelly old settee looking well

out of it. (This is BRETT, who we met in episode 3; it’s the

lad CATHERINE taught a lesson when him and his mates were

taking the piss out of KIRSTEN’s death).

LEWIS:

Yeah. Might be.

TOMMY:

It’s Tommy. I need a lift. I need

picking up. Have y’got a car y’can

use?

(LEWIS isn’t sure he wants

to help TOMMY. Why should

he?)

I’ll pay yer.

LEWIS:

(turns to BRETT)

D’yer know anyone who’s got a car I

can borrer?

(BRETT takes a moment to

assess the question, then

vaguely nods his head and

makes a pointy gesture.

Where are yer?

CUT TO:

10 INT. NGA, KEVIN’S OFFICE. DAY 11. 09.10 10

KEVIN, PHIL and the DETECTIVE CONSTABLE, as before.

PHIL:

Where did you drop the money off,

Kevin? Where did they tell you to

drop the money off?

PHIL’s manner remains calm and friendly. KEVIN has no reason

to imagine PHIL thinks of him as anything other than keen to

help.

KEVIN:

McDonalds on the Huddersfield ring

road, and then Birch Services. On

the M62.

PHIL:

Whose car did you drive there in?

KEVIN’s cautious. Is this a question to catch him out?

KEVIN:

Mine.

PHIL:

Both times.

KEVIN:

(he hesitates)

Yes.

PHIL:

You’re absolutely certain about

that? You didn’t take Nevison’s,

or...? Anyone else’s.

KEVIN:

No. No. No.

PHIL:

Was anyone with you?

KEVIN:

No.

PHIL:

What’s your registration number?

HAPPY VALLEY. EPISODE FIVE. BY SALLY WAINWRIGHT. 9.

KEVIN:

(hesitates)

VE56 CHX.

The DETECTIVE CONSTABLE types it into his Ipad, much to

KEVIN’s silent worry.

PHIL:

Can you give me - as near as you

can - specific times when those

drops were made?

KEVIN can only keep moving forward with the lies (because he

was never at the service station, obviously).

KEVIN:

The first time. Huddersfield ring

road. That was Thursday. This last

Thursday. Around lunch time.

Probably... five past, ten past

twelve?

The DETECTIVE CONSTABLE types.

PHIL:

And the other time?

KEVIN:

That was - that was Birch Services.

Half past ten, quarter to eleven.

This Monday.

PHIL:

Where did you put it? The money.
