O Apóstolo
19/12/1997
Euliss "Sonny" Dewey é um popular pastor Pentecostal do Texas. Sente o mundo desabar sobre a sua cabeça quando descobre que a sua mulher, Jessie, se apaixonou por Horace, um pastor mais novo. Farta dos namoricos e das longas ausências do marido, Jessie serve-se da legislação para retirar ao marido o controlo da igreja. Confrontado com a perda da mulher, dos filhos e da congregação, Sonny embebeda-se e provoca Jessie no decorrer de um jogo de baseball do filho. Subitamente, impulsionado pela inveja e pela raiva, Sonny atinge Horace na cabeça com um taco de baseball. Apercebe-se de que foi longe demais e deixa a cidade. Apaga todos os rastos do passado e entra num autocarro a caminho de Louisiana. Adoptando uma nova identidade, Sonny é agora "O Apóstolo".
