CATHERINE’s flopped, out cold on the pavement. She could be
dead.
Inside the car ANN screams at the radio. Police officers’
voices from the radio respond to CATHERINE’s emergency call.
ANN:
Help me! Help me!
(shouts at the radio)
Can you hear me!? You’ve got to
HELP ME! He’s going to kill me!
He’s going to kill me!!!!
ANN’s frantic eyes are fixed on the open front door of LYNN’s
house, terrified that TOMMY LEE ROYCE will fly out at any
second and get her.
CUT TO:
2 INT. NGA, KEVIN’S OFFICE. DAY 11. 09.02 2
KEVIN at his desk. He’s nervous. Through the glass walls of
the open plan offices, he can see two men in suits in
NEVISON’s office (it’s PHIL CRABTREE and a DETECTIVE
CONSTABLE from NCA. They’ve just arrived).
CUT TO:
3 INT. NGA, NEVISON’S OFFICE. DAY 11. 09.03 3
NEVISON with PHIL CRABTREE and the DETECTIVE CONSTABLE.
PHIL:
Don’t tell him I already know
what’s going on. Just introduce us
as being from CID.
NEVISON looks murderous; he’s decided that KEVIN must be
involved.
CUT TO:
4 INT. NGA, KEVIN’S OFFICE. DAY 11. 09.04 4
KEVIN becomes aware of NEVISON heading towards his office
with the two men in suits. NEVISON shows admirable constraint
addressing KEVIN
NEVISON:
Kevin. These two fellas are from
CID, they want to talk to you.

KEVIN:
Hi.
PHIL:
How d’you do.
(he shakes KEVIN’s hand,
then turns to NEVISON)
Could you give us a few minutes?
NEV realises he’s expected to leave. He hesitates then
PHIL (CONT’D)
Mr. Weatherill. Can I call you
Kevin?
KEVIN’s terrified.
KEVIN:
Er yes. Yes. Yes of course.
PHIL:
Nevison says you think you know who
these people are who’ve kidnapped
his daughter.
KEVIN:
It’s - I may be wrong - but. You
know. You do rack your brain. When
something like this happens, and...
PHIL:
Sure. Have you got names?
KEVIN:
Okay. One. Is...
says the name his life’s
in danger, but what
choice does he have now?)
Ashley. Ashley C[ow]
(his voice fails)
Ashley Cowgill. You see we - me and
my wife -
(KEVIN’s troubled to see
the DETECTIVE CONSTABLE
instantly type the name
into an Ipad)
we rent a caravan. On this site, up
at Soyland, on Soyland Moor, and he
owns it, and he’s very friendly,
and we chat. Occasionally. And I
may have - well I have - mentioned
where I work, and of course
anyway and the fact that he’s...
well. A very wealthy man, and you
see. Ashley.

KEVIN (CONT'D)
He’s - he’s - as I say, he’s
friendly, but he’s dodgy. Too. I
would say. And. The thing is. The
thing is, I...
(struggling)
...have reason to believe he’s some
kind of drug dealer. I mean...
organised.
PHIL takes that in. Interesting, but slightly beside the
point in the present crisis.
PHIL:
Who else? You said these people.
KEVIN:
Okay, well he has these two boys.
Men. In their twenties. Who work
for him. I don’t - I don’t know
their names, but they’re... they’re
not... they’re not the kind of
people you’d want to mix with.
CUT TO:
5 INT/EXT. CATHERINE’S CAR/LYNN DEWHURST’S HOUSE. DAY 11. 5
09.05
Inside the car ANN mutters to herself, like someone not in
their right mind.
ANN:
He’s not touching me, he’s not
touching me again, I’ll gouge his
eyes out, I’ll tear his hair out by
its roots, I’ll
(she screams, four days of
terror and anger
exploding out of her)
AAAAAARGH!
-and smashes her fist into the car seat. Then ANN hears
sirens, and sees flashing blue lights.
Outside the car CATHERINE lies still, collapsed, deathly
pale, as a police 4x4 pulls up. Two PATROL OFFICERS dive out
of the vehicle. More flashing blue lights approach, two more
police vehicles and an ambulance.
PATROL OFFICER 1
(he sees CATHERINE)
Sh*t!
(he’s straight over to
her)
Sarg! Sarg? Can you hear me? Sarg?
HAPPY VALLEY. EPISODE FIVE. BY SALLY WAINWRIGHT. 4.
PATROL OFFICER 2 pulls open the door of CATHERINE’s patrol
car.
PATROL OFFICER 2
What’ve you done to her?
ANN:
Me? I - it’s him! It’s him!
(she’s pointing at the
house, the open front
door)
He’s done it! Not me!
PATROL OFFICER 2
Who’s he? Who’re you?
ANN:
Who am I?
PATROL OFFICER 2
What’s happened? What’s happening?
Tell me what’s happened.
He puts his arm out to try and calm her, realising he’s got
the wrong end of the stick; she’s not a prisoner sitting in
the back of the patrol car, she’s a victim.
ANN:
Don’t you bloody touch me! Where’ve
you bloody well been?
PATROL OFFICER 2
I’m not touching you, but I need to
know what’s happened!
The ambulance pulls up. And hot on its heels, two patrol
cars. The PARAMEDICS are straight over to CATHERINE. MIKE
TAYLOR, SHAF, TWIGGY and OTHER OFFICERS pile out of the
patrol cars.
MIKE TAYLOR:
(he sees CATHERINE)
What the hell’s happened?
PATROL OFFICER 2 emerges from the car where he’s been talking
to ANN. He can’t talk fast enough
PATROL OFFICER 2
Sir. Girl in the car she says she’s
been held in a cellar and assaulted
for the last four days.
The INSPECTOR takes that in. He sticks his head in the car
and addresses ANN.
MIKE TAYLOR:
Hello love. You’re going to be all
right now. What’s your name?
