Happy Valley (2014) s01e02 Episode Script

1 I'm Catherine, by the way.
I'm 47, I'm divorced, I live with my sister who's a recovering heroin addict.
I have two grown-up children.
One dead, one who doesn't speak to me, and a grandson.
How would you like to make half a million pounds? You're talking about kidnapping her? Some bastard's got our Annie.
And he wants a million quid.
Are you here to report a crime? Nevison could afford to lose half a million pounds easily.
Any more and he might go to the police.
Oh, Becky, me daughter.
Died just after Ryan was born.
She was raped.
I'm terrified if Ryan's like him in any way shape or form.
Which he's bound to be, isn't he? Tommy Lee Royce is out of prison.
Why didn't you tell me? I didn't want to upset you.
You look after yourself, love.
I will be in touch.
OK, thanks a lot, bye-bye.

Driving off towards Wharf Street.
You're getting too bloody old for this, Catherine, love.
There's a tower block overhead All you've got's your benefits And you're barely scraping by In this trouble town Troubles are found Stuck in speed-bump city Where the only thing that's pretty Is the thought of getting out.
We're going to have to take it out of the business.
We're going to have to borrow a bit from here, there and everywhere, that's how we can do it.
You're not to tell anyone, they get a whiff anyone else knows, they say they're going to start doing stuff to her.
I won't.
I won't.
And they must be watching me, they know things.
These people are often very very highly organised.
For months! Following me.
Following Ann! Jesus! We can I can look into how much you can take out of the business if that's I've got maybe 200 grand I can lay my hands on immediately, but even then, are they going to let me withdraw that amount in cash, without asking bloody questions? Well, it's your money.
Yeah, but they're going to think I'm laundering money, then they're going to tell the police! Really? Well, I would! Why would anyone be withdrawing that amount in cash if it wasn't dodgy? I We'll get it, we'll get it, I'll raise it.
I'll ring what's-his-name.
At the bank.
I'll say, I'll just say, "I want to withdraw 200 grand in cash," see what he says.
Sure.
"How soon can you have it?" Sure.
Yeah, see if it can be done without anybody sticking their bloody noses in.
Sure.
Pay the money, get her back, safe and sound, and then find out who the little .

Absolutely.
Get me Adam Stapleton on the phone and tell him it's important, please.

How d'you know it was him? Erbecause I'm not blind? 'No, come on 'He's been in prison for God knows how long.
' It was him.
'Fine, OK.
Fine, fine.
'Even if it was' Yes? "Even if it was"? What time's your dinner break? You pushed it as far as you could after Becky died.
You did everything you could, Catherine.
Everybody knows what he is, the fact that the CPS couldn't run with it is bad, it's awful, everyone knows that, but What? I worry about you.
Getting yourself all upset and obsessed with it all over again.
That subhuman piece of rotting excrement should be on the Sex Offenders' Register.
And he isn't.
I think that's something worth getting obsessed and upset about.
Don't you? You're never going to be able to approach this objectively.
you're going to make yourself ill again.
He's on my patch.
You think I'm going to ignore it? Sooner or later, unless somebody marks his card for him, big style, he's going to hurt someone else.
Is that what you're going to do? Mark his card for him? It's my job.
How? How're you going to do it? The less you know, Clare.
You see, that - saying something like that - just makes me even more worried that you're not What? Not going to deal with it rationally.
Rationally? I've no intentions of dealing with it rationally.
I'm amazed you'd think anybody'd expect me to.
You're winding me up.
My intention is to deal with it effectively.
All right, well, you've heard what I'm saying.
I worry about you, OK? You worry about me staying on the wagon.
I worry about you.
You're the only sister I've got.

I didn't want to tell you until it was over and done with.
ButI can't think straight, I don't know what to do.
We've got to ring the police.
They're watching us.
They'd know.
And then God knows what they'd How? Theymight even have the phones bugged.
We just We just don't know, do we? But they are organised, Helen.

They're not going to get away with this, Helen.
Please give him a ring.
We're going to go to the police afterafter we've got her back.
They're not going to get away with it.
There's no need to be frightened.

.
give us a ring? Don't challenge him, don't approach him, don't say anything.
Just act normally, serve him, whatever, and then ring me.
Hello? 'Are we allowed to fuck her?' Ashley? 'Why would you be asking me that, Lewis?' Look, I'm just asking.
You're a sick little bastard, aren't you? 'No, no,' it isn't me.
It's Is he there? 'Weirdo.
I sent him over.
' Yeah.
'I think he's had herin cellar.
' Why, what? What makes you think that, Lewis? 'Well, he's had her knickers off, anyway.
'So I were just I were just asking, really.
'That weren'tthat isn't 'That wasn't part of the plan.
Is it? 'Ashley?' Well, Lewis, I don't want you to feel that it's obligatory.
You mean you told him to do that? No.
No, I didn't.
Sounds to me like he were just using his initiative.
Right, well, I'm not I don't want tothat's I'm not doing that.
'I'm not asking you to, Lewis.
' Good.
Cos if this goes tits up, I'm not the noncy weirdo bastard that's getting done for rape.
Granny's been in a fight.
Oh, God.
Is it bad? She was chasing this scrote, and he kicked her in the face.
Did he get away? Hell, no! What'd he been doing? Selling ice creams.
Oh.
OK.
Are you going to get changed? Yep.
Are you OK? Yeah, couple of Nurofen, I'll be like new.
Have you not taken something before? I've not had time.
Daniel rang.
He's invited us over for tea tomorrow.
All of us? Well I said I'll see if Ryan can go to one of his friends', and he didn't say, "No, it's fine, bring him with you.
" So I'myeah, assuming it's just you and me.
So .
.
he rang you, his auntie.
He didn't ring me, his mother.
Well, he rang on the house line.
When he knows I'm at work.
You work shifts, Catherine.
You could've been here.
Why tea tomorrow? I don't know.
Maybe him and Lucy have got some news.
He's invited Richard and Ros as well.
Oh.
What news? Is Lucy pregnant? You know as much I do.
Oh, well, that'd be You mean you didn't ask? No.
I'm not a copper.
He'd have told me over the phone if he'd wanted me to know.
They probably want to make an announcement.
So you think that is what it is.
I don't know! Have you got any fags? Couldn't believe how much gear they were carrying.
And a bit of everything - coke, heroin, M-Cat, cannabis, crystal, E's.
He'd got over 3,000 quid in his pockets.
There's no wonder he didn't want copping.
D'you know whatreally .
.
annoys me.
I rang ahead, I flagged it up to the drugs squad, I said d'you want to talk to these lads first? Yes, they did.
I said I wanted Twiggy and Shafiq sitting in on the interviews once they got 'em to Halifax.
Fine, no problem.
Course, it's all "no comment, no comment, no comment.
" So that's it for us at our level.
We never get any closer.
We never get any higher up the food chain.
Any intelligence they have - drugs squad - about where all this stuff's coming from, how it's getting here, I never get to hear about it.
I just get to mop up the mess at the bottom end.
And we should know.
I should know.
If they know stuff about people on my patch, people bringing stuff into this valley, I should damn well know about it.
Well, why wouldn't they let you know? Oh, they'll have some covert surveillance stuff going on that numpties like me aren't allowed to know about.
In case you tell your sister? Till they need a bit of back-up.
Exactly.
And she leaks it to her contacts in the media.
Which you would.
Inevitably.
It's either that or they don't actually know any more than I do.
Which is even more worrying.
At least it's taken your mind off that other business.
I printed a photo of the little shit off the box and I went in to Chinese.
Say that again slower.
Mickey Yip runs it.
D'you remember Mickey Yip? He used to be in the year between us at school.
Well, you know my opinion.
Ooh! What? I forgot.
Hello.
'Hello, it's me.
' I know.
Do you know a Kevin Weatherill? He lives next-door-but-three to you and Ros, drives a BMW.
'Kevin? Yeah.
' What's he like? 'Oh, very nice.
Ordinary.
Quiet.
Two girls.
' She's in the early stages of multiple sclerosis, Jenny, his wife.
Walks with a stick sometimes a wheelchair.
But, yeah, no He's an accountant.
He works for Nevison Gallagher.
OK.
'Why?' Is there any problems that you know of? Not that I'm aware of.
Why? 'No reason.
' Is that? Oh, yeah, thanks.
Is Lucy pregnant? Ha-ha! I wondered that.
Hi.
Hi.
Did you have a nice day? Yeah.
Did you see that? The weirdest thing.
What? It's, eryou can't mention it, not to anyone.
OK.
Nevison'slike I've never seen him, all over the place.
And God.
What? Someone's taken Ann.
Taken? Abducted.
Kidnapped.
They rang him, on her phone, this morning, mid-morning, saying they wanted a million pounds in cash.
Has he been to the police? No! God, no! These people The thing is, the thing I didn't know Helen's ill.
Really ill.
I meanliver cancer.
She's dying, she's Oh, my God! When did? He should go to the police! No.
That's He should because they'll know how to deal with it.
Well, that's easy to say! But can you imagine? If it was one of these two? These people don't mess about, Jenny! If he steps out of line, they're threatening to do things to her and Jesus.
That's Well, it's Oh, um, Ashley rang, you know, from the farm.
Ashley? Yeah, just something to do with the rental on the site.
He said can you ring him when you got in.
'Hello?' Have you changed your mind about me ringing you, then? 'How's Nev?' How would you expect him to be? 'Hey, calm down, pal.
' It's your party.
Is he getting this cash together, then, or what? 'What is all this shit' about a million.
I specifically said don't ask for any more than 500,000.
It were you, insisting you had to have a hundred grand.
I told you, I've got overheads.
I've got expenses.
'Say you'll accept less next time you ring him.
' Sure.
I mean it.
'OK.
' I'm serious.
You're the boss.
So what did you want? I wanted to know he was getting on with it and that he hadn't been anywhere near the police.
'No, he won't, he wants her back all in one piece.
' Good.
Well, he needs to buckle down and get on with it, then.
You're not going to hurt her.
'I'm not, no.
But I can't vouch for my lads.
'Cooped up with her all day.
'Eh? Getting little ideas in their little heads.
' What are you talking about? Tommy's just got out of prison.
Poor lad hasn't had his leg over in eight years.
'Use your imagination.
' You'll tell them not to touch her! You'll get the money, just tell him you'll take less! 'Right.
' I mean it! 'Yeah, you said.
' I did this stupid thing.
Tommy! Son.
I want you to do something for me.
You've got to go to the police.
I know.
Except .
.
I can't.
Do you know where they're keeping her? No! No.
I know nothing.
I They I don't think they're even going to give me any money at the end of it.
I think I've just beenshafted, and used, and taken for a ride and I don't even know why I did it! Just I was so angry at Nevison.
Then he turns around and tells me Helen's got cancer and he offers me more money! Jesus.
Do you think they'll hurt her? No.
No.
He's doing it for the money.
He's not doing it to hurt her.
So So we .
.
know that she's safe.
Ish.
I mean, even if she doesn't, and even if her parents don't, we know that Ashley wouldn't Yeahdo anything Yeah.
Yeah, we know that.
Yeah.
So is there anything Was this all verbal? Between you and Ashley.
There's no emails, no I phoned him this morning, and just now.
Phone calls are traceable.
But not the content, not what you say.
No.
No.
I don't know, I don't think so.
So you could just deny everything.
You deny putting the idea in his head.
You say that none of those conversations ever happened.
That it was all him.
I mean, if it becomes necessary.
If they get caught.
Which they will.
Which is why you mustn't go anywhere near that money.
Even if it looks like they've got away with it.
Cos they won't.
In the end.
People like that never do.
Night-night, love.
Night-night.
Is Granny going to come in and kiss me? I'll ask her.
Y'all right? Too old to be getting knocked about by scrotes.
You love it.
You know you do.
Mmm.
Promise me you'll not let that bastard get to you.
I won't let that bastard get to me.
Ryan says will you go up and give him a kiss? Yup.
You can go now.
What? We can't leave her in that cellar all night.
She'll freeze.
She'll be reet.
I gave her her knickers back.
I think it might be best we leave it that way from now on.
Have you heard? You can go home now.
I'm putting her in that bedroom.
She can sleep in that sleeping bag.
Leave her.
I ain't taking orders from a screwhead like you.
Ashley wants me to take a photo of her.
In the cellar.
Not looking like she's having a right lot in the way of fun.
OK? I can do that.
Yeah, but he asked me.
So Right.
Well, do it, then.
Then I'm putting her in that bedroom and I'm giving her that sleeping bag.
I'll do it when I'm ready.
You're not hurting her.
That was never the plan.
Do you know something, Lewis? I don't think you're cut out for this.
First off you blab, in front of her.
"Ashley up at farm.
" And now you want to put her upstairs, where people are more likely to see her.
What's wrong with you? What's wrong with me? You're the one that Why don't you just get yourself a girlfriend, like normal people? What's up, Lewis? Are you jealous? Jealous?! You You're just You're not even And you think I have no idea? Do you think when she gets out of this she's going to let you get away with whatever it is you think you've been doing to her? Do you think her dad is? Maybe she won't get out of it.
Now what are you bloody saying? I think once the cash's been handed over, the safest thing would be to That isn't That was never It's your fault.
Blabbing.
She never heard that! She might've done.
You don't know.
She didn't.
Take the photo, take the stupid photo and go.
I'll look after her.
No, you'll put her in the bedroom.
I'm not leaving her on her own with you, you weirdo! I won't put her in a bedroom.
I might give her the sleeping bag, but I won't put her in a bedroom.
Ashley wants you.
I'm not leaving you on your own with her.
I don't care what Ashley wants.
Right.
We need a picture now, for your daddy.
We're going to send it to your daddy so he can see how much fun you're having with us.
Sosmile! One more for luck.
Yeah? One more with my hand up your fanny.
Leave her alone! Anything else to say? Little shitty pants.
Marcus.
Catherine.
Ooh, been in the wars? What happened? Went straight into the back of her.
Couldn't stop in time.
She must have slammed her brakes on, everyone's piled in behind.
My constable radio'd me to say she'd asked you to take a breathalyser test and you weren't right keen.
Is there a reason for that? Ah, come on.
It's quarter past eight in the morning, I'm not going to stand here looking like I've had vodka for breakfast.
People know who I am.
She wasn't doing it to make you look bad - it's routine when there's been a smash.
She'd have asked you even if she hadn't smelled alcohol on your breath.
OK, look.
I had a late night.
Last night.
I, er I wasn't at home.
So I haven't had time to shower, get changed.
So admittedly it may be on my breath, but I'm certainly not over the limit.
So you thought calling her a stupid little effing something-beginning-with-C would help? She threatened to arrest me.
She was doing her job.
She risks her neck every day, all of my officers do, dealing with scum and tossers.
What none of 'em need is abuse from someone on the council who above all people should know better.
Yes, yes.
I know and I'm sorry.
Obviously, it had It had just happened, I was upset, I was shaken.
I'd like you to blow into the tube.
If you refuse again, I'll arrest you.
OK.
Look.
I'm more than happy to apologise to her.
Really, I am.
Good.
Well, you can do that as soon as you've done this.
Catherine, come on.
You know I've got the highest respect for you and your team.
I'm amazed you're making a fuss like this.
Can you blow into the tube, please? It wasn't me who caused the accident! It was the woman at the front.
She's been breathalysed.
She didn't have a problem with it.
And the cause remains to be established.
I'm not standing here and being humiliated and compromised like this.
OK.
Then I'm going to have to ask you to give me the keys to your vehicle.
Oh! You'll understand that I can't let you drive away from the scene if you're refusing to be breathalysed.
I have to say, I never had you down as a jobsworth.
Keys are in the ignition.
And I'm only refusing on principle.
I want you to understand that and I want it noted down.
You're refusing because you've been drinking.
You and me both know that.
I have to say, Catherine, I'm very disappointed in this attitude you're taking.
Can you explain to me what this is? I've no idea.
Well, it looks like a little packet of white powder to me.
Well, it's not mine.
Well, it's in your vehicle.
Jesus! Y You've just put that there.
You've just planted that there.
I'm arresting you on suspicion of drunk driving and possessing an illegal substance.
It's not mine! It's got nowt to do with me! You don't have to say anything, but it may Can you turn round? Hands on the roof of your vehicle.
Don't do this.
This is going to have consequences, and not for me.
Catherine, it's ridiculous! It's humiliating! You're making a big mistake.
Have you got any other substances on you? No, don't be ridiculous! Look, it's a plant.
It was planted.
All right, maybe not by you, but it was planted.
You're going to regret this, you're going to regret it a lot, and soon, and for the rest of your life, you understand? You're going to lose your job over this, and worse.
Much worse.
OK, hands behind your back.
I'm not your mother.
You've gotta remember that nobody is above the law.
However important they try and tell you that they are, however much they try and bully you into thinking that you've got the wrong end of stick, nobody bullies you - you're a police officer.
This is all I've ever wanted to do all my life .
.
and I'm shit at it.
Go on, off you go.
You can go.
Hello? 'Y'all right, Nev?' Where is she? She's fine.
She's lovely.
She's spent a very comfortable night.
'Let's keep it that way, eh?' Is she? Has she? 'So, tomorrow.
' McDonald's drive-thru just off Huddersfield ring road.
'I want to speak to her.
' Let's see how we get on tomorrow first, Nev, eh? Then we'll see about letting you speak to her.
We'd like an initial instalment.
By way of showing willing.
20 grand.
'Cash, obviously.
'And I don't want you dropping it.
' I want that irritating little twat of an accountant you've got.
Me? Yes.
Me? Yes.
No.
I All you have to do is drop it in a bin.
Marcus Gascoigne? It's priceless, innit? Marcus Ga! Didn't youhave him once? No No! God, no.
Well, just that once.
You knowthe scrotes, the dropouts, the numpties with nothing going on in their lives, you can not condone it, but you can more easily see it, get it, understand it, almost.
But someone like him, apart from the hypocrisy Yeah, well, it takes all sorts, doesn't it? No, I didn't mean you.
I wasn't thinking about you.
You just got in with the wrong crowd, didn't you? Well, it sounds like he's blown it as regards being a councillor when all this comes out.
You're joking! He'll get some smartarse lawyer to tidy it all up for him, to spin it, to twist it, the Teflon twat.
Nothing'll stick.
You watch.
Did you have to hand him over to drug squad? Oh, yeah.
First dabs, every time.
I just tidy the streets, me.
Hiya! Catherine, what have you done to your face? Oh, it's work.
How are you? Really well.
Ooh, looks sore.
Hiya, Clare.
Hiya, love.
Er, his friend he were going to, he's got a sore throat, so we got blown out at the last minute.
I brung you some chocolate.
Brought.
Come on in.
Mum! Hi.
Hello.
Hiya, Ros.
Oh, good Lord, what have you done to your eye? Oh, it's work.
How are you? Good.
Good.
Er, I've brought Ryan.
He was going to a friend's, only they cried off at the last minute, cos he's got a bug, his friend has, so Ryan brought me some chocolates.
The thing is, this house, it's the sort that just doesn't come on the market very often.
So, if we didn't go for it now, we might not get the chance again.
Which would be fine, if I wasn't being made redundant.
When did you find this out? Last week.
The thing is, they're going to still need journalists.
It's going online, which is fair enough, but they still need stories.
We have to reapply.
They need exactly half the number of us, so You're assuming that you won't be one of the ones they want back, which is That's not entirely the point, is it? The point is, half of us might be taken back on, half of us won't.
I wouldn't want to be in either position.
I'd rather walk away having made my feelings about the damned thing plain.
Well, that's just cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Well, you may choose to see it that way, but the point is, either way, it's certainly not a good time to be getting a bigger mortgage.
On a .
.
on a lighter note Sorry, Dad.
Um The reason we've got you all round is cos we've got some kind of more happy news for you.
Um.
Lucy Well, we're, um She-she's pregnant.
We're having a baby.
Oh, my God! Catherine! No, that's That'swonderful.
That is wonderful.
That is really You're crying.
I'm happy! Aw! And howhow? How many weeks? 12.
We thought we'd wait till, you know Ohh! Andand are you? I'm fine.
I felt a bit sick once or twice.
Think that's how I knew.
