Bergerac is a British television show that aired from 1981 to 1991. The show centers around Jim Bergerac, a detective with the Jersey police force who investigates various crimes on the island. Season 4, episode 9 is titled "Avenge, O Lord."

The episode begins with a man named Philip Nelson attending a church service. As the congregation sings hymns, Philip becomes increasingly agitated and begins to rant about the recent death of his daughter. He accuses the church's leaders of being responsible for her death, claiming that they promised her a miracle cure for her cancer. The church members try to calm him down, but he storms out of the church in a rage.

Meanwhile, Jim Bergerac is investigating a series of robberies that have been taking place on the island. He is convinced that the perpetrators are a group of teenagers, but he is having trouble finding any solid evidence. His investigation is interrupted when he is called to investigate the death of a man named Father Owen, who was a member of the same church that Philip Nelson attends.

Bergerac and his team begin to investigate Father Owen's death and discover that he was murdered. They also learn that Father Owen was investigating the church's leaders for fraud and other illegal activities. Bergerac suspects that Philip Nelson may be involved in the murder, but he has no evidence to back up his theory.

As Bergerac continues to investigate the murder, he receives a tip from an anonymous source that leads him to a suspect. He arrests the suspect and begins to gather evidence to link him to the crime. However, Bergerac soon realizes that the suspect is simply a pawn in a much larger conspiracy.

Bergerac's investigation leads him to a shocking discovery: the church's leaders are involved in a complex scheme to defraud their congregation. They have been promising miracle cures to people with serious illnesses in exchange for large sums of money. The church leaders have been using the money to fund their lavish lifestyles, while the sick people have been left with false hope and empty pockets.

As Bergerac works to unravel the church's scheme, he realizes that he is up against some powerful and influential people. The church leaders are not afraid to use violence to protect their secrets, and Bergerac finds himself in danger as he gets closer to the truth. However, he is determined to see justice done and to bring the guilty parties to justice.

In the end, Bergerac is able to expose the church's fraud and bring the guilty parties to justice. He is hailed as a hero by the community, and his fearless dedication to justice inspires others to stand up against corruption and injustice. The episode ends on a hopeful note, as Bergerac continues to fight for justice and to uphold the values of truth and integrity.
