A very good episode with Frost coming under investigation from the British version of internal affairs. A man spent ten years in prison because of a case where evidence was probably manipulated to get a confession. Also, a harsh businesswoman has been murdered (it was made to look like suicide) and her murder pits two brothers against one another. The two interesting aspects are the heavy handedness of the investigation into Frost (who is having none of it, even though he is suspended), and a confession made before the murder where a man says he is going to commit the act. The priest, of course, is caught in the old seriousness of the sacrament of confession. He has to weigh very carefully how he is going to present this if called upon. Another interesting aspect of this case is the old methods of police work versus the rights of possible criminals. A visit to a retired priest is excellently presented and a high point of the episode.
