THE
SPOILERS
BY DESMOND
BAGLEY
THE
SYNOPSIS
The
policeman crowding the room to find out why the girl was die.
Detective-Inspector Stephens turned his attention to the room, nothing the
cheap, rickety furniture, and the threadbare carpet. Sergeant Ipsley asked the
identification to him. Stephens argued that she was die because the drugs she
was heavy smoker. Her name is June Hellier. They continue to look for many
information about her. Doctor Pomray also argued that she was overdose. But
they won’t really know after autopsy. If it’s deliberate they have a choice
between suicide and murder. Stephens found the discovery of a doctor’s
appointment. He asked to Pomray who is Dr. Nicholas warren. He met Warren in
the dimly lit hall outside the girl’s room. He asked him about the girl.
Stephens produced a letter that he get from her handbag. It was a letter typed
in executive face on high quality paper. Finally they knew the girl is Sir
Robert Hellier.
Warren
sat at his desk in consulting-room. Sir Robert Hellier called him and wanted to
see him. He suggested Sir Robert come to see him at five o’clock. Sir Robert
expect Warren supplied her heroin. Warren was very angry because Hellier
accused him a drug peddler.
After that he told the
real condition that happen in his daughter and why he prescribed her heroin. He
told that she died of a dose of heroin dissolved in a solution of
methylamphetamine. Six months ago, June
wanted to see his father but she couldn’t because his father was so busy with
their own business. Warren asked him what he did for her in six month ago.
In
England the clinics prescribe heroin under controlled conditions to home office
registered addicts. It’s not so bad compared with the states. The number of
heroin addicted in United Kingdom is doubling every sixteen months. Trust
between patient and doctor must be absolute, especially with a drug addict.
Hellier understood because Warren had cleaned up a lot of things. Warren found
himself in wardour street outside the offices of the Regent picture company. He
looked up at the building, ‘rudiculous’ he said aloud. Hellier went back to his
flat in st. james. He hated himself perhaps he hated Warren. He worked so hard
for Hellen and young June. But when he focused with their work, June had been
lost. Miss Walden, his secretary had a letter for him from miss hellier. She
would like to see you on Friday. After the meeting with Machet. He flied to Los
Angeles then back to New York. He had never once thought of his daughter. He
had never given June the opportunity of communication with him. He went over in
his mind everything Warren had said and the way in which he had said. He asked
firm of investigators to investigators to investigate. Dr. Warren got the
research Department to find out all. They could about drug smuggling and report
in three days . he put down the telephone and went to his bedroom. He relaxed
in the bed, he broke down and his tears wet the pillow.
Warren
found himself accepting Hellier’s invitation to meet him in the St. James’s
flat. Hellier apologized for the scene he made in his room. He studied warren
for a moment why his wife divorced him. She didn’t like his job with drug
addicts. Hellier was curious, Warren has ever said the International problem
was n stopping the inflow of illicit drugs and he wasn’t prepared to jump off
to Iran on a crazy adventure. Hellier was sure warren knew something about drug
supplying country. Warren knew he had been right. Hellier had been pushed off
balance by the death of his daughter. Warren left Hellier and went to a bar, he
met three of his patients. Hellier was incredible but he didn’t know the
magnitude of what he had set out to do.
Major
Andrew Tozier is mercenary soldier closed Warren. He was unemployed. They was
talking about Warren’s patients. They worked together in addict drugs. Tozier
would lean on Hellier a bit but warren didn’t want to tell Hellier to him.
Warren went home and despite what he had said to Andy Tozier . he went to desk
and wrote twenty names and scanned it until remained five.
Warren
come to Parker’s house, he wanted to see Dan Parker. Parker was a man forty. He
had joined navy in 1962. In the war, a torpedo got loose and rolled on his leg.
Now he was doing an interesting job on a mini-cooper. Warren asked Parker Abbot
heroin. They would use torpedo to bring heroin. Warren asked Parker to work
with him on a job, it will pay twice but Parker refused it. Warren needed a
good torpedo, he offered again and again until Parker accepted.
He

to find John Follet, the manager of the club. Then he talked about Follet’s
club. He asked Follet directly to join expedition planned. He would tell the
police about Argentinian millionaries, if Follet refused it. But Follet wasn’t
afraid and he threw out him directly. Tozier asked Follet why did he throw out
Warren. Then he explained to Follet until he understood and accepted it.
Warren
was leaving his room when he found Mike Abbot on his doorstep. They were in a
discussion. Warren would like Abbot to help him, warren asked abbot involve a
trip of a drugs in middle East. He accepted but he would talk to his editor to
take holiday.
Warren
walked through into a back room, he met Ben Bryan. Bryan was a psychologist
working in the field of drugs addiction. Bryan told him that they were threw
out from their place. They thought a way to solved that problem.
Warren come to Hellier’s
office in Wardour street, but Hellier doesn’t expect to see him. In 1968 a drug
ring is smashed in France. They compare the drug trade in USA and London. In
America the illegal supply can stop by smashing the drug ring, but Warren isn’t
sure they can imply it. Warren predict the illegal intake between two and three
tons a year and they talk about the profit from it. Hellier asks Warren about
the statement “two names and a place”. The French gang is busted the trade.
They will need George Speering, he is pharmaceutical chemist with a lousy
reputation. Second name is Jeanette Delorme, Warren only know the name that
come up in connection with Speering, and the place is in Iran. Hellier wanted
this gang is smashed by the team that he has made. If they success they will
get bonus. Warren is going to sell Soho Therapy Centre. Hellier asks warren the
ability and the function in the field. Half the scenes are set in Iran, they
are going to make film there. Hellier will give anything the team needs.
Andy Tozier approach Warren
and asks what he is going into, Tozier also asks the vehicle and equipment that
will be used to Iran and asks money to make a few modifications. Then Warren
answer all his questions.
Warren tell Bryan that
Hellier has some teams, they are in Paris, in Jeanette Delormes born. He tell
that Hellier have given 70.000 Euro for them only a couple of years. Hellier
shows a file to warren, then asks him to read and tell it. He just to find out
where she lives and her standing in the community. Hellier is not sure when Dan
did it alone. Therefore Warren asks Abbot and Bryan to support him. Hellier
tells that Speering will move soon. He anticipate by providing the investigator
to supervise Speering in a plan. Warren, Tozier, and Follet charter aircraft
which carry two Land Rovers. Parker and Abbot are on their way to the Lebanon.
At 7.30 Warren come into Mr.
Lane’s room. He drinks a lot there. In the morning he has a visitor John
Eastman, he is American. They have lunch in the Hilton dining-room. Lane and
Warren are talking about Speering. Warren want to see Speering. Tozier comes to
Warren and asks what should he do next. He asks what should they do on Speering
that he comes here to extract morphine from opium. Warren tell him the
differences between morphine and heroin.

valley bottom, but Speering beat them, he can can pass their supervising.
Hellier and his team is in
their expedition in Middle East. They discuss where they will across, they
across the sea or the coast, They want to avoid Jeanette Delorme. Jeanette has
known that they want to fail her plan and she wants to chase them. Finally they
decide to choose a coast for their way in expedition.
They discuss how to get Jack
Eastman out from the compartment. Firstly they face the difficulties because
the door of the compartment is dangerous to be passed, so they should think
hardly to help Eastman out from there. Finally Eastment can get out from there
because Follet’s idea to pass gas line.
Jamil Hassan is a methodical
man. He doesn’t know about a shooting on board of a ship. The ship leaves
El-gamhuria shipyard. A policeman interrogates Andre Picot, he is a suspected
smuggler.
On their way they prepare all
the stuff to face Delorme’s pressure. Metcalf look all around their Orestes
ship and he look another Stella Del Marre ship ahead their ship. It’s only six
miles far away. They know that is Delorme’s ship but they get ready for the
war. Delorme will kill all the crew. Metcalf gives a direction to all his
friend to take their guns. Tozier take sub-machine. Tozier gives a chance out
to Eastman. He comes out shooting and Tozier stops him.
After the distance only four
miles, Tozier asks Parker to protect Hellier. He asks to bring him in the bow
place in the ship. Warren hears the cannon fire ahead their ship. He feels
wonder. Metcalf responses Delorme shooting with two torpedoes shooting but both
is missing.
Warren gets the effect from
the explosion. One of his leg is broke but he can reach Parker and Tozier.
Abbot run to the machine-guns and open up again. He slam his hand just as a
burst of machine-guns fire and torpedoes hit her. She erupted as over three
hundred and fifty pound of TNT exploded in her guts and finally Jeanette
Delorme is died.
Warren is thinking about Mike
Abbot and Ben Bryan. Two dead of the original team of five. Hellier comes
closer to them and tell who is Jamil Hassan. He is police officer in Lebanon.
Hassan says thanks to them because they have helped him in that case that he
cannot finish it. He will pick up them to the hotel and gives them air tickets.
Parker tell that there is one
thousand kilos heroin there. Hassan suggests them bury the body of this brave
man at sea.
They are very sad but they
think Abbot and Bryan will be satisfied because the unknown number of people
mostly in United States will live longer and have happier lives.
THE
ANALYSIS
The
textual meaning of The Spoilers is the person or thing that spoils and the
contextual meaning is the drug peddlers.
The author used omniscient point of view, because the
author tells me not only what the characters say and what the characters act,
but also what the characters feel.
The
characters are dr. Warren, sir Robert Hellier, Andy Tozier, Dan Parker, John
Follet, Mike Abbot, Ben Bryan, Metcalf, Jack Eastman, George Speering, Jeanette
Delorme. The protagonist charactesr are dr. Warren, sir Robert Hellier, Andy
Tozier, Dan Parker, John Follet, Mike Abbot, Ben Bryan, Metcalf. The antagonist
character is Jeanette Delorme. The dynamic characters are Mike Abbot, Ben
Bryan, Eastman and the flat character are . Warren, sir Robert Hellier, Andy
Tozier, Dan Parker, John Follet, Metcalf, George Speering, Jeanette Delorme.
The
author used mix characterization between direct characterization because the
author characterize the characters directly using narration, and indirect
characterization because the author characterize the characters indirect using
conversation.
The
setting of the story is in in London but the main setting happens in Middle
East like Iran, Lebanon.The author used mix plot between flash back and forward
plot. The theme of the story is the crucial expedition in the Middle East to stop
the supplying of the drugs.
The lesson
that I can take are the parents should care about his children. We have to care
all of people even unknown people. Team work is needed to reach the goal.
