“Truth and justice are often at odds.”

Brother Cadfael - The Raven in the Foregate (1996) S3E3 It is said, "All that evil needs to flourish is for good men to do nothing." And this film has a few good men who do nothing. So, once again, it is up to Brother Cadfael to sort out the mystery and whether the separate mysteries are related. I will not go through the story blow by blow, as that is part of the intrigue in watching these films. Shrewsbury needs a new priest. Due to the civil war between Empress Maud and King Stephen in 12th-century England, the priest is picked for his political leanings. A local girl is having an illegitimate child and asks Cadfael for confession. Cadfael explains that only a priest can do that. Father Ailnoth, the new parish priest to Shrewsbury, earns the scorn of his parishioners. After refusing to absolve a parishioner for carrying an illegitimate child; later the priest is found dead in the river. There are plenty of suspects but a shortage of clues.
