1 INT. THERAPIST’S ROOM. DAY 8. 09.30 1
CATHERINE’s dressed in civvies, the sort of civvies that
suggest she’d rather be out on the moors than sitting here
with a psychotherapist, whose expression is calm. Neither of
them say anything for long enough, and then
THERAPIST:
I saw on the sheet that I asked you
to fill [in]
CATHERINE:
The happy sheet.
He knows all officers think it’s a load of crap. He smiles
THERAPIST:
Yes, the happy sheet. I saw that on
the question ‘Have you ever
contemplated killing yourself or
others?’ You’ve written ‘Yes’.
(silence:
he hopes she’llpick the ball up and run
with it. Fat chance)
Do you want to talk about that?
CATHERINE:
No.
THERAPIST:
Have you ever contemplated killing
yourself?
(yes she has, but in no
way seriously. And
anyway, she’s not telling
him)
Have you ever tried to kill
yourself?
CATHERINE:
(quickly)
No.
She all but adds “Don’t be stupid”.
THERAPIST:
Have you ever thought about how
you’d do it. If you did.
CATHERINE:
I’ve seen all of ‘em and none of
‘em are pretty. They’re all...
Silence.

THERAPIST:
All what?
CATHERINE:
Sordid. Ridiculous. And anyway. I
don’t want to be on a slab. I’ve
seen what they do to people.
THERAPIST:
(consulting the notes)
Did you have counselling after your
daughter took her own life?
CATHERINE:
No. I had a break down.
She says it like it’s a viable alternative.
THERAPIST:
What happened?
CATHERINE:
Nothing. I just... screamed at
people a lot and smashed a few
things in the sink and drank too
much and pissed everyone off within
a ten mile radius for about a year,
eighteen months, and then... you
know. You’ve still got to pay the
mortgage at the end of it all,
haven’t you?
THERAPIST:
CATHERINE:
Yeah. Well. Most marriages don’t
survive something like that. Do
they. Losing a child.
THERAPIST:
An experience like that changes
people. Permanently.
She looks at him steadily. Like... duh. Is he properly
qualified?
CATHERINE:
I’da said so.
THERAPIST:
How did it change you?
The answer that pops up surprises her a little. It’s like a
reflex.

CATHERINE:
I’m sad.
she’s said it. And she
continues like she’s
talking to herself, cos
she sure as hell ain’t
talking to him)
I never used to be sad. I mean I
could be sad. But it wasn’t like it
was a permanent state [of] - it
didn’t define who I am.
THERAPIST:
You don’t appear sad. Sorry I’m not
contradicting the fact that you are
sad. You know how you feel. But
your colleagues. Your friends at
work. I get the idea they think of
you as the life and soul of the
party.
CATHERINE:
Good.
THERAPIST:
CATHERINE:
No. They all know about Becky, they
all know what happened.
THERAPIST:
No, I meant do you - are you
conscious of feeling sad but still
trying to put on a brave face, a
happy face, at work?
CATHERINE:
No. I love work.
THERAPIST:
Do you think you’re angry? As well
as sad.
She considers that.
CATHERINE:
Sometimes.
THERAPIST:
You have an edge. People are a bit
scared of you, aren’t they?
CATHERINE:
Who’s said that?

THERAPIST:
It’s an observation.

How do you feel about that? People
being scared of you.
