- 1965. Respected Liberal MP Jeremy Thorpe, approaching middle-age, he who comes from a proper English background and who not only has aspirations to become party leader but British Prime Minister, confides in his fellow Liberal MP Peter Bessell, arguably his best friend, about a seventeen page letter sent to his mother from twenty-something Norman Josiffe, who Jeremy met when he was a stable hand. That confidance is because despite being married, Jeremy knows that Peter had previous experience with the actual illegal act mentioned in the letter, which outlines Norman's past homosexual affair with Jeremy, the contents of the letter true but which Mrs. Thorpe did not believe. Jeremy initiated the affair during which time he took care of Norman in his life altogether, and ended it when he became bored with Norman, who began to display the unstable mental traits for which he had previously been treated. Peter is to handle the matter for Jeremy so as not to tie Norman back to him, the initial approach being to initiate legal proceedings against him. Although Peter is able to do what he can in the matter, one complication after another arises, some related to the ebbs and flows in Norman's personal life, the lows which Norman always attributes to not having a National Insurance card, his which he "lost" in the process of helping Jeremy hide his homosexuality and which Norman states can now only be replaced by Jeremy as his last "employer". As Jeremy takes steps to further his political career including a sacrifice to gain just a bit more respectability, Norman, who has never been afraid to state openly his homosexuality although he does blame it on Jeremy, reenters his life again indirectly under his new name Norman Scott. As such, Jeremy contemplates initiating the ultimate measure to rid Norman from his life once and for all.—Huggo
