Synopsis:

A new six-part drama for BBC One, written by Sally Wainwright and starring Sarah Lancashire as police sergeant Catherine Cawood. Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire) is the sergeant on duty when flustered and nervous accountant Kevin Weatherill (Steve Pemberton) comes into her West Yorkshire police station to report a crime. He's reticent about the details and Kevin loses his nerve. The crime he was trying to report was Kevin's own brain-child, a plot to kidnap his boss's daughter and keep enough of the ransom to put his kids through private school. And now local drug king-pin Ashley Cowgill (Joe Armstrong) has put the plan into action, and Kevin's fantasy has become a grim and dangerous reality. The botched kidnapping of Ann Gallagher (Charlie Murphy) and its fallout unfolds... Catherine is used to picking up the pieces of everyone else's lives, but the hunt for Ann Gallagher will get right under her skin. Catherine becomes convinced that only by finding Ann alive and bringing her captors to justice can she avenge the death of her daughter.

Season 1
Episode #1.1 S1, Ep1 29 Apr. 2014
Catherine Cawood is a policewoman in the ironically named Happy Valley, an extremely deprived Northern township. Her private life is complicated. She still dates ex-husband journalist Richard and lives with her sister Clare, a recovering addict and grandson Ryan, whose mother, Catherine's daughter, killed herself after being raped. Now the man Catherine believes to be the rapist, Tommy Lee Royce, is out of jail and back in town. At the same time Kevin Weatherill, disgruntled that his boss Nevison Gallagher will not loan him money to help his disabled wife Jenny and ...
Episode #1.2 S1, Ep2 6 May 2014
Learning that Nevison's wife Helen is terminally ill Kevin feels increasingly guilty and tells his own wife Jenny what has happened. She advises him to deny all contact with the others and refuse to accept any money so that when, on Nevison's instructions, he takes the ransom to Cowgill, he hides his own share. Lewis is concerned that Royce is ill-treating Ann and plans to kill her when the full ransom is received but is savagely beaten by Royce when he tries to intervene on her behalf. Catherine meanwhile starts a poster campaign to locate Royce and, after arresting ...
Episode #1.3 S1, Ep3 13 May 2014
Following Catherine's visit to the house Royce moves Ann but the van in which he and Lewis are taking her is stopped for speeding by policewoman Kirsten McAskill and so Royce, to Lewis's horror, runs Kirsten over, killing her. Reminded of her daughter's death and accused by Kirsten's partner of pushing her into action Catherine is devastated and, whilst Richard offers to accept Ryan, she can do without being told not to prosecute Gascoigne for drink and drugs as he donates to the police fund. Cowgill is also appalled by Royce's actions, particularly as Royce wants to ...
Episode #1.4 S1, Ep4 20 May 2014
Though dismayed that the evidence against Gascoigne has been 'tampered with' Catherine is pleased that Richard is bonding with Ryan. She also learns that the house she investigated belongs to the estranged wife of Cowgill, whom she visits, though he feigns ignorance of any illegal activities. She also calls on Royce's mother Lynn who tells her that Royce is Ryan's father. Helen is curious as to why Kevin is always her husband's bagman and eventually tells Catherine that her daughter has been abducted, leading to a police enquiry. A frightened Kevin wants to name the ...
Episode #1.5 S1, Ep5 27 May 2014
Catherine and Ann manage to escape and are rescued by the police but Kevin's questionable account of his involvement leads to his arrest and remand in custody whilst - via his phone calls - the arrest of Cowgill, though he enters into a plea bargain for a reduced sentence by giving information about a vast drugs importation racket. As a result he and his family will need witness protection. Catherine recovers in hospital and is visited by Ann, who asks her not to tell her parents about her rape by Royce. On discharge Catherine is depressed and her suspicion of Royce ...
Episode #1.6 S1, Ep6 3 Jun. 2014
Clare organizes a birthday party for Catherine with the family, colleagues and the Gallaghers but makes the mistake of telling Daniel that Catherine has been seeing Richard. At the party Daniel gets drunk and accuses his parents as well as harshly criticizing Becky, whom he claims was a spoilt bitch and Royce's willing partner, rather than the victim they have all beatified. Next day Lewis's corpse is discovered and Cowgill is murdered by the drugs gang. Royce hides out on a narrow boat and contacts Ryan, explaining that he is his father and encouraging him to visit...
