or two blips with alcohol - for
nearly twelve years. Then she fell
off the wagon. At this funeral. And
she said it was my fault. Which -
(she hesitates. She blames
herself more than she’s
prepared to let on)
well, it was and it wasn’t. And in
fact... that was the same day that
I did this thing that’s meant I’m
having to do this. Business. Here.
With you.
THERAPIST:
Ah. Yes. Tommy Lee Royce’s mother’s
funeral. We will come onto that.
TITLES:
CUT TO:
2 INT. THERAPIST’S ROOM. DAY 8. 09.31 2
As before, CATHERINE and the THERAPIST.
HAPPY VALLEY SERIES TWO. EPISODE THREE. PEACH SCRIPT. 66.
THERAPIST:
So language like, “I could’ve
merrily strung Ryan up”, “happily
throttled Daniel”, “cheerfully
strangled Clare”. There are two
points there. On one level you
don’t mean it, these are people you
love, unquestionably, it’s an
expression of frustration, and
ironically affection, when their
behaviour falls short of what you
would like or expect. On another
level. You are angry. Whether it’s
with them or - perhaps more likely -
with other people. People you can’t
express your anger to directly the
way you can with the people you
live with. These are chosen,
sarcastic, brutal expressions.
CATHERINE thinks about that. And she knows there’s truth in
it. At some muddled level. Not that she’s going to admit it.
CATHERINE:
I’m a police officer. I see things.
I’m not going to share the same
vocabulary as Mary Poppins.
The THERAPIST smiles. He’s kind, objective, fascinated
THERAPIST:
Tell me about Clare. Two weeks ago.
Why did she think it was your fault
that she’d fallen off the wagon?
CATHERINE pulls this face/heaves a sigh like she can’t be
bothered to explain.
CUT TO:
3 INT. JOCKEY’S CLUB, HEBDEN BRIDGE. NIGHT 6. 23.20 3
Two weeks ago.
CATHERINE and CLARE at a table together. Loud music. Everyone
else here is tattooed, pierced, dyed hair, cool, hip, mad,
sad and happening, Hebden Bridge style. CLARE’s got a pint,
CATHERINE’s on diet coke (she’s got work in a few short
hours). CATHERINE’s decided to go with the flow: CLARE has
lapsed, she’ll contain it tomorrow. For now, she’s letting
CLARE do what she has to do. They have to shout, the music’s
so loud
HAPPY VALLEY SERIES TWO. EPISODE THREE. PEACH SCRIPT. 77.
CLARE:
I thought you were stopping! I
thought we were both stopping, and
suddenly you’re not! And I’m on my
own, and I don’t know anybody!
Except like three people, and two
of them’s Nev and Ann, and they’re
busy talking to people. And you
were five hours. You said “I shan’t
be so long”. Or whatever. And
