00:00I'll see you then
00:30Scotland and Northern Ireland will be mainly dry when it will be mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain.
00:47Hello? Are you there?
00:48At 9.30. Thank you, Ian.
00:50Miss Cunningham!
00:51It's the police!
00:58Miss Cunningham!
00:59Radio 1, 26 minutes before 9. Coming up.
01:07Reckon, there's anyone in there, Sarge?
01:10It's possible.
01:14We'll never get a ladder up there.
01:16Not a lot to see if we did with the curtains drawn over like that.
01:20The boss is here.
01:23Morning, Joe.
01:25Morning, ma'am.
01:27Which one is it?
01:28Top floor bed sit.
01:30Tenant's not been seen or heard of last couple of days.
01:32Can't raise anyone?
01:33Nothing. Door's locked.
01:35Who reported it, Danny?
01:37Another tenant, ma'am. The usual.
01:39Light burning all the time. Radio playing night and day. Post building up in the hall.
01:43She doesn't come out to answer her phone calls.
01:46She? Who lives then?
01:47A young woman. Lives alone. Linda Cunningham.
01:50I'm not in Manchester, ma'am.
01:51He's in order to ask you.
01:52We may have to risk damaging his property.
01:53This is the quickest way in, Joe.
01:54Don't do the bed sit, ma'am.
01:55Shouldn't take a lot to force it.
01:56Right.
01:57I'm not in Manchester, ma'am.
01:58He's in order to ask you.
01:59We may have to risk damaging his property.
02:00This is the quickest way in, Joe.
02:01Don't do the bed sit, ma'am.
02:02Shouldn't take a lot to force it.
02:03Right.
02:04This is the quickest way in, Joe.
02:05Don't do the bed sit, ma'am.
02:06Shouldn't take a lot to force it.
02:07Right.
02:08Right.
02:32This one, ma'am.
02:33Okay.
02:34Finish shoulders off, please.
02:38Come on.

02:48I know.
02:49I stayed to be start again.
02:54Oh.
02:59She's well gone, ma'am.
03:01Quite some time.
03:08mom heroin wraps must have been three or four grams worth of powder in them looks
03:30though she might have been pushing the stuff herself with this kind of money
03:32lying around probably selling it to profit to support her own habit she
03:37diluted the powder in water warmed it up in here oh pretty unedifying brew caused her to OD
03:43probably that's for the pathologist to say Joe what a way to end up dying alone in a place like
03:52this she can't have been more than 20 what do we know about her did you manage to speak to any of
03:58the other tenants not in any detail ma'am little enough chance earlier you say there were some
04:03letters addressed to the girl downstairs on the old table ma'am they might help establish if she's
04:07local drug squad will want to make their own inquiries while we investigate the death and
04:11trace the next of kin drug squad might know of her have a line on her there's something here ma'am a
04:16photograph it's not the girl found here though is it unless it's an old one who'd want to keep an old
04:21photo on display like that no more likely relative or a friend someone that mattered to her someone
04:29important
04:30yeah also mark perrin all want to know and can you lay out with the drug squad George tell them about it
04:51she kept to herself a real loner how did she seem in herself some days she seemed quite happy you know
04:59other days terrible I mean she looks so ill poor kid some nights you'd hear her crying in a room
05:06now she had any friends boyfriends for instance not that I saw she went out a lot any visitors yeah
05:16there was one a young girl no more than a school kid who was she there's no knowing how often did she
05:25come here this girl every couple of weeks she'd stop up there a couple of hours then be gone was that
05:32her yeah that's the one a bit older than that when was she last here a couple of weeks back maybe she
05:43always bought some flowers with her flowers yeah a bunch of pretty flowers
05:50we wanted her out you know oh why was that because she was a druggie that's as obvious I mean the way she
06:13looked carried on and her arms you could see I mean you feel sorry for him but with kids around
06:20it's not the thing is it why didn't you report her to her if you thought she was a druggie we
06:25wouldn't have shopped her she might have got prison well it's no longer a problem is it mrs. Ross
06:30from the girl's mother dear Linda please don't call me again it's really no point is it sorry I love
06:45money a cheque for 50 pound Heritage Avenue address quite well to do we have to trust her
06:55and make sure she understands that we trust her not keep up this watching her every move
07:01checking up on her questioning her it's for her own good Alan it's so important all right but you
07:08heard her last night so she was a bit late getting in from school over an hour late do you want you
07:14to know why where how chapter and verse love well what did you say it's like being in the hands of
07:19the KGB and I don't blame her do you think I like this hmm spying on my own daughter interrogating
07:26her she could be lying to us you know you know they're supposed to be like once they get addicted
07:32can't help themselves Wendy wouldn't want to lie to us she wouldn't mean to but well if she was
07:38desperate Alan she lied before remember that look she is not addicted she can't be just a fad just
07:45something she did with some of her mates smoked a bit of smack because some of the others did is
07:50that all it was nowadays smoking fags in the school toilet was the thing this isn't innocent of course
07:56not which is why we kept her in evenings weekends talked her through it pointed out the dangers it's
08:02quite traumatic for her for all of us smoking that muck up in her bedroom in this house wind down Beth
08:09please I'm glad you can be so blithe about this Alan really because I can't I've already lost one
08:15daughter because of it there is no comparison and I am NOT going to let it happen to Wendy
08:39Cunningham ADH Cunningham 60 Heritage Avenue business address listed as well ADH Cunningham and company the
08:57high street what the estate agent yes Alan Cunningham that is ma'am you know him Joe acquainted he's the
09:03key holder of the premises on the high street shall I get around there and talk to him ma'am I'll come with
09:08you Joe I'd like to try and find out how much Linda's parents knew of a situation oh check with
09:13his office first find out if he's there
09:14all right
09:15come in
09:28Alan Cunningham's out on his rows this morning man viewing properties he left straight from home
09:33can he be reached he's taking his appointment book with him so it's not certain where he'll be at any
09:37given time his secretary is ringing around leaving messages for him to contact us can we wait there's
09:44mrs Cunningham to consider you reckon we should break the news to her right away I'm not sure it's a terrible
09:51tragedy for anyone to have to face up to which of the parents is the strongest I'd go for the father
09:57but we can't risk mrs Cunningham finding out by chance word gets around especially over something
10:02like this the people in those bedsits know what happened the press are bound to get on to it I'll
10:06go and see mrs Cunningham myself it's a delicate situation best if I handle it all right ma'am she
10:11might want to talk find it easier with a woman she may even volunteer some information about
10:15Linda's lifestyle like who that young girl was who visited her for instance possibly a supplier oh that's
10:22difficult to believe a young school girl wouldn't surprise me nowadays you reckon mrs Cunningham knew
10:29her daughter was an addict from what said in the letter well certainly a rift between mother and
10:34daughter drug addiction does divide families sometimes what might have happened to you
10:39I'm going out George it might be an hour or two I'm not quite sure right mom oh by the way how's the
10:56abstinence going still abstaining mom good well done how long is it now four and a quarter days give
11:03an hour or two oh well only days yet so keep it up don't want you calling by the wayside like joe did
11:12last year never mind in the wayside myself always quite liked it there it'll be worth it in the long run
11:19nothing worse than these self-righteous non-smokers you're one now George a non-smoker an ex-smoker
11:26there's a difference still suffering withdrawal symptoms it's a terrible thing nicotine addiction
11:32you should know yes yes i've been through it dizziness headache insomnia sticky bowels can't
11:40concentrate like a damn medical dictionary joe irritability
11:56you know she hadn't come to drug squad notice well then we can't know them all it's weird somehow
12:20sarge heroin addicts in a town like this manchester and liverpool are only a cheap day return away so
12:25there's no way places like heartley can likely stay immune she was pretty far gone this one it
12:29seemed injecting into herself arms like pincushions most effective way of getting it straight into the
12:34bloodstream it reaches the brain within seconds wrecks the body of course mainlining like that five
12:39years or less you're dead so why and why do they do it sarge puts you on cloud nine for a while
12:47i don't see how i mean a young girl like that knowing the dangers letting it happen chasing the dragon
12:54she's more respectable smoking not squalid like this seen here and i think smoking won't get them
13:00addicted but it does very quickly before they know it they're down to this there was no note you know
13:05nothing not a reliable suicide method probably an accident maybe the heroin was too pure a system
13:11couldn't take it well thanks danny better get on take this place apart see what we can find right
13:17sir we'll call on the inspector later when we're finished here makes you wonder yeah no that was
13:22somebody's daughter
13:52so
14:22All right.
14:52All right.
15:22Hello.
15:39Mrs. Cunningham?
15:41Yes, yes it is.
15:42I'm Inspector Longton.
15:44Kate Longton.
15:45Inspector?
15:46I wonder if we could have a talk.
15:49Well, what about?
15:50Perhaps could I come in?
15:53Of course I'm sorry.
15:54Thanks.
15:57Has something happened?
15:58I mean...
15:59Yes, I'm afraid so.
16:01Well, what?
16:02If we could sit down for a moment...
16:04Wendy.
16:04Is it about Wendy?
16:06She's my daughter.
16:07Yes.
16:08But you have another daughter, don't you?
16:10Linda?
16:13Yes, there's Linda, but she doesn't live here.
16:15I know, Mrs. Cunningham.
16:17But it's her that I've come about.
16:18She's my daughter.
16:19She's my daughter.
16:20words of sympathy are always inadequate there's little I can say that can soften
16:48things Linda yes she's dead I'm sorry look I'll make you a cup of tea no not now thank you it
17:05might help steady your nerves or perhaps you prefer something stronger a brandy who found her
17:09we did that is myself and two of my officers you did you saw her yes how did you find us a letter
17:23addressed to Linda from you unfortunately we had to open it hardly matters there are some personal
17:33belongings of Linda's nothing to worry about now but perhaps you and your husband might care
17:37to collect them we've been trying to contact him apparently he's not in his office at the moment
17:43please what happened how did she we can't say at this stage but there'll be a post-mortem and
17:54the coroner will it in the papers will it yes I mean you must have some idea you must know we
18:01can't be certain but there was evidence that suggested that she might have been using drugs
18:05did you find drugs there not as such she wasn't an addict you know anything like that she just
18:15just doubled like kids do you know experimenting sort of thing she didn't mean any harm by you
18:23look why don't we just sit quietly for a time there's no need to talk I want to talk I have to I want to see
18:32how old was your daughter 19 she looked older I used to say you look so ill so tired
18:49it was heroin that killed her wasn't it it killed her I knew it would I knew one day someone like you
18:58would come and tell me this I said I lost my daughter heroin took her from me she wasn't my little girl
19:11was she using heroin while she lived here yes she was starting when she was at the polytechnic and
19:28she dropped out went on the dole just seemed to go to pieces was she a registered addict no she
19:36won't go near doctors we tried to get her to a clinic but she refused we tried everything the rows and
19:44upset in this house you've no idea then she started stealing from us money and things she could sell
19:54was there ever any indication where she got the heroin none at all
20:01it was impossible we were all suffering our lives changed it was breaking the family apart we couldn't
20:16cope with Linda I had to do it there was no other way I had to what what do you mean I kicked her
20:28out I told her to go oh Alan thought it was very cruel just only my own daughter but we tried everything
20:37you understand don't you I understand how difficult it must have been it was for Wendy we were so frightened
20:45for her what about Wendy I mean did you ever think you might have a problem with her no of course not
20:53why do you ask you seem to want to talk about it there just seemed to be no other way as long as
21:02Linda was in this house there was always a chance that Wendy would take up with it we had to protect her
21:32why did you send her a cheque I sent her something every so often she was always so broke living on
21:42social security but didn't you consider what she might spend it on well yes all right but have you
21:49ever had to throw your own daughter out of course I thought about her all the time I worried myself stupid
21:54is that Wendy yes
22:02did she miss Linda they were very close yes she was rather broken up when Linda left she blamed us at
22:11first she seemed to forget about it she she never mentioned it how long had Linda been living away from you
22:18six seven months you haven't seen her in all that time not even to pass in the street what about friends
22:30boyfriend things like that she lost them all boyfriend dropped her and Wendy did she keep in touch with her well how could she well you knew where she lived I wondered absolutely not when they knew we wouldn't allow it
22:45so Wendy never visited Linda or anything like that didn't know where she was we made certain the whole point was to keep them apart
22:53well what's he doing

24:06No!
24:36No!
24:42How's Wendy?
24:44She's asleep.
24:46Dr Gay Resedative.
25:01They were very kind, very practiced you know.
25:06And I said yes.
25:08That's my daughter.
25:24She was lying in a little chapel.
25:26They tidied her up and put her in a dark blue gown.
25:32I made her decent.
25:42I wanted to go inside and touch her.
25:46She looked like an old woman.
25:52I stood there looking through the glass window and I thought...
25:56How can anyone so young look so...
26:02...wasted?
26:04And then we went away and...
26:10...they asked me for a statement.
26:14Coroner's officer.
26:16I can't really remember what I said.
26:26He read it back but...
26:28...can't remember.
26:30I can't remember.
26:34We were wrong.
26:38Wrong.
26:40We deserted her.
26:42We left her to die.
26:43Our own daughter.
26:44Alan.
26:48You wouldn't treat a stranger that way.
26:50How about...
26:52...flesh and blood.
26:58It was the wife who wanted me to stop.
27:00She's already pleading with me to start again.
27:02What's the answer, Jan?
27:04Come on.
27:05You're a drug squad.
27:06You should have a few bright ideas.
27:07What about a pipe?
27:08Could lend an air of distinction at mine.
27:10Tried that.
27:11Nearly set the house on fire.
27:12Acupuncture?
27:13Therapy groups?
27:14Or...
27:16What about hypnotism?
27:17Some swear bite.
27:18I don't fancy being brainwashed.
27:20Might change with personality.
27:23Inspector.
27:25Ever tried using snuff, George?
27:27Snuff?
27:28Maybe pushing the wrong side of 40.
27:30I'm not that ancient.
27:31Cheaper than smoking.
27:32No tax on it.
27:33That's for old men with soup on their vests.
27:35It's just powdered tobacco.
27:36But you get a good nicotine intake.
27:38And it stops all that nasty tar on your lungs.
27:40That's the killer.
27:44I think we must, Beth.
28:09Really.
28:10But why?
28:11What good will it do?
28:12I don't know.
28:13Well, the police.
28:14How?
28:15She might be able to tell them something.
28:16How she came by the heroin.
28:18She told them.
28:19She said some girls at school.
28:21If that's true, then it needs looking into.
28:23I don't need to spell it out.
28:25Not now.
28:26How this can end.
28:27Think of Wendy.
28:28What it'll do to her.
28:29Her sister's dead.
28:30Isn't that enough?
28:32There are people making money out of this.
28:34While our daughter lies in the mortuary, the profit is counted.
28:39Kids like Wendy who are victims of the...
28:41wretched...
28:48What about...
28:49What about her reputation?
28:51She could be prosecuted.
28:52You don't know.
28:53I doubt it.
28:55She'd be volunteering whatever information she gives.
28:58Besides, heroines are things of the past as far as Wendy's concerned.
29:02No, it's not, Alan.
29:03No, it's not.
29:04I found this.
29:05Hidden in her room this morning.
29:09It's not exactly something you enjoy going through your daughter's room behind her back.
29:34What didn't you say?
29:36Oh, not today.
29:37There's been enough today without this as well.
29:40Well, maybe she left it there from before.
29:43You know, from weeks back.
29:45I've looked before.
29:46This is recent.
29:47Then it has to be the police.
29:50I don't think that's the way to handle it, Alan.
29:52I really don't.
29:53Beth, we must.
29:54There is no question.
29:55But she might get into trouble.
29:56If that happens, it's better for her.
29:58It's worth the risk.
29:59We can't hide it any longer.
30:01She was phoned by a guy called Frankie this morning.
30:04He's known to us.
30:06Bit of a pathetic case.
30:08We think she may have been selling to him.
30:10Though he won't admit it.
30:11But where was Linda getting the heroine from?
30:14Over £100 in cash was found in her room.
30:16Now where does a junkie on the dole get that kind of money from?
30:19Probably through buying the heroine cheap enough to sell around to other addicts.
30:22Which suggests she was getting the stuff direct from the dealer.
30:25You think there's a dealer at work in Hartley?
30:27Well, smack's gotta come from somewhere.
30:29My DC's out now chatting up known addicts in the area.
30:32Because when one of them dies, they'll get twitchy.
30:34Might start talking.
30:36Problem is, the dealer might get wind and decide to leave Hartley alone for a bit.
30:40So, who are we looking for?
30:42Could be a user himself.
30:44Or a breadhead.
30:45A non-addict making a big profit from it.
30:47Often they're ex-cons.
30:49Peddling drugs, being safer and more lucrative than thieving.
30:52Perhaps Jack should speak to the Cunninghams.
30:55I've warned them to possibly expect you.
30:57Did the man know something, ma'am?
30:59Just a feeling.
31:01It was an atmosphere.
31:02As if the mother were holding something back, being protective.
31:05The younger sister.
31:07Understandable in the circumstances.
31:09There was more to it than that.
31:11There was a special relationship between those two sisters.
31:13I mean, Linda had Wendy's photo up
31:15and Wendy used to visit Linda with flowers against her parents' dictate.
31:18They didn't even know about it, or so they say.
31:21Could lead somewhere.
31:23If the kid sister knew who Linda's junkie friends were,
31:25possibly her contacts, places she frequented.
31:28If we are harbouring a dealer in this town,
31:30I want him stopped and stopped fast.
31:32Can't prevent all the heroin creeping in,
31:34but by blocking the main supply, we can at least contain the spread.
31:51of every single child in the crowd.
31:52But there was a good thing,
31:53but there was a good thing.
31:54The lack of sanity,
31:56it was a good thing that I felt like that.
31:57The lack of anxiety was a bad thing.
31:58It's not the same for having to deal with the virus but I wanted to get it.
32:00Now I know that the situation in the workplace,
32:01It was a good thing,
32:02I was a good thing.
32:03I had to do an issue with my friend.
32:05I did not know that the woman of the doctor could have been growing up.
32:08It was a good thing.
32:09I thought this was a good thing.
32:11Now it's a good thing.
32:12I didn't know.
32:13It was a good thing.
32:14I didn't know that the woman did not know.
32:15I'm picking her.
32:16I'm picking her up a good thing.
32:17heard you playing how are you pet don't know I don't know really aren't you
32:37cold you think it's gone off it's very late will I wake the neighbors
32:59why did she have to die like that
33:03you think it was us do you think we didn't try hard enough
33:08maybe
33:10it's difficult isn't it Wendy
33:14it's impossible
33:17we were so worried for you
33:22so it's my fault it's me
33:26I think we've all made mistakes
33:30maybe now is the time to put it right
33:35it's too late for that
33:38it's too late
33:40as far as Linda's concerned
33:43write that one off clean the slate
33:46come on Wendy
33:49it's necessary because of Linda because of what happened to her
33:54I don't want to talk dad please
33:59all I'm saying let's learn let's not go down that road again
34:20what do you think Wendy
34:23only your mother found some stuff in your room
34:27the things you use for smoking heroin like before
34:30have you been smoking again
34:34tell me pet

34:40okay I'm not going to late you especially tonight
34:43no curfew no questions

34:53ever
34:54not after
34:56I really think Wendy we need help
34:58the time has come
35:00and the first step is the police
35:05to stop these people supplying the drugs
35:08don't be scared I'm sure they'll be sympathetic
35:12you're going to tell them
35:13you're going to shock me
35:15we can't prevent this on our own
35:17so I want us to go down there and see them as soon as possible
35:23tomorrow
35:26three of us as a family
35:32the point is Joe
35:36if we were say
35:38clerking for the council
35:40we're accountants
35:41something in the light
35:43no problem is it
35:45not at all George

35:49you never need to start
35:51a sedentary work in life

36:00no sweat
36:01nope

36:17a man needs a solace of some sort
36:23absolutely George
36:24wonderful
36:41you all right
36:48good
36:49it was the same old pattern
36:51same as Linda
36:53first her school work started to suffer
36:57and then she began stealing
36:59taking money
37:00things she could sell
37:01has this happened again recently?
37:03no

40:07then it got terrific
40:09it was really fantastic
40:11it was better than anything
40:12couldn't you see the dangers?
40:14what it had done to your sister?
40:16I didn't think it would happen to me
40:17just through smoking it
40:18and you needed more
40:20where did you get it?
40:22from Linda?
40:24no I met this guy in a coffee bar
40:26well Linda knew him
40:27she bought some gear off him
40:30then I went back on my own a few days later
40:32hung around a bit until he turned up
40:35and I asked him for a wrap
40:37and he sold you one?
40:38no he was suspicious at first
40:40he said I had to meet him
40:42sort of in secret
40:43well so he could be sure to trust me
40:46where did you meet him?
40:49the canal by Kidmore Place
40:51it's one of his stopping places
40:53where other addicts can be sure to find him?

41:33well she went mad
41:34she kept saying
41:35you want to end up like me?
41:36but she started you on it in the first place
41:38but she didn't mean that to happen
41:40she got so
41:41really tore her apart
41:43when she knew I was doing it
41:44because she knew she was gonna die
