His wife Irene say that it was not has good idea to leave with him, pretending that it was not realist for a widow and promise falsely to rejoin him months later, with his coroner brother Billy's help. Once in Brazil, Lou, with a new head, tried many times to call Irene, failing every time on the answering machine. Six month later, Lou returns home. Expressly, Irene simulate don't know him, and say him to speak with her husband Billy who don't know him, accusing him to be an insane impostor. Angry, Lou tried to agress his brother. Ironically, his brutality was provocated expressly for that he was arrested by the police. Lou admits his machination. However, the policeman don't recognize him, persuaded that he had really seen the dead body of the "real Lou Paloma". During the process, Linda and Billy lied perfectly and the only hope for Lou, his mother was becoming totally insane and illogical, calling herself Eleanor Roosevelt and believing the prosecutor to be "her dear boy Lou". The prosecutor showed the murder weapon to the jury (which had no fingerprints), as well as a damaged fire poker (which did have Lou's fingerprints), claiming that the murder victim must have used this is attempt to defend himself. He closed his arguments saying the murder case was open-and-shut, as all evidence pointed to "Mr. Smith" being the murderer and making an attempt to impersonate Lou Paloma to throw the police off the track. The prosector said Mr. Smith's claim of being Lou Paloma does not hold water, and the jury concurs, finding Mr. Smith guilty of the murder of Luigi Paloma. Lou dies when he sent to the electric chair, with even his last words being "I am Lou Paloma".
