CATHERINE (CONT’D)

Stop wriggling, you’re not going

anywhere.

Considering she’s just been kicked in the eye, she’s

remarkably calm.

HAPPY VALLEY. EPISODE TWO. BY SALLY WAINWRIGHT 10.

SHAFIQ:

What’s in your pockets?

LAD:

Nothing.

SHAFIQ:

Eh?

LAD:

Nothing.

CATHERINE:

(as she cuffs his other

wrist)

What’s your name?

LAD:

Nothing.

CATHERINE:

Right. Well

(she keeps him pinned to

the ground, with one side

of his face in the mud)

I’m arresting you. Okay? On

suspicion of supplying drugs. D’you

understand? You don’t have to say

anything. But it may harm your

defence - stop wriggling - if you

do not mention when questioned

something you later rely on in

court. Have you taken that in? Yes?

And anything you do say may be used

in evidence.

(during the above she’s

got something out of his

pocket. Bits of rubbish,

all sorts, an identity

card with his name on -

ALFIE TYSON - then a huge

wedge of cash)

Those are well expensive ice creams

you’ve been flogging, Alfie.

CUT TO:

9 INT. MILTON AVENUE, CELLAR. DAY 5. 14.00 9

We discover ANN GALLAGHER, tied up with her hands behind her

back, gagged, sitting on a chair in the cellar. Her face is

bruised. She looks shaken, shocked, defeated, appalled and

cold. Bad headache. Her world has just shifted like she could

never have expected it to. (Has TLR already raped her?

HAPPY VALLEY. EPISODE TWO. BY SALLY WAINWRIGHT 11.

How can we suggest this? Maybe - sorry this is horrible - her

knickers are on the floor).

CUT TO:

10 INT. MILTON AVENUE, SITTING ROOM. DAY 5. 14.01 10

Upstairs, the house is a dump. TOMMY smokes a cigarette and

sips beer, watching day-time TV. He’s watching something

light and inoffensive about house make-overs. He hears the

back door open and close. TOMMY glances across as LEWIS

appears at the sitting room door with his X-box. But it’s a

brief glance. TOMMY’s more interested in the telly.

LEWIS:

How’s fings?

TOMMY:

Good.

LEWIS:

She been all right?

TOMMY:

In what sense?

LEWIS:

Keeping quiet. Behaving ‘ersen.

TOMMY:

(light, barely engaged)

Yeah.

LEWIS observes TOMMY for a moment. There’s something about

him he finds really... odd. Disturbing. Not that LEWIS could

articulate it.

LEWIS:

So you can clear off for a few

hours. I’ll see to fings here.

TOMMY:

(still staring at the tv,

he’s quite happy here)

Okay.

LEWIS sits and watches the TV too. TOMMY makes no attempt to

leave.
