* Alas, the LDS Church abandoned polygamy in 1890. Hi might not know that, and might be dreaming of going to Utah and taking the above solution.

The brothers didn't escape from prison, but from the fiery bowels of Satan's kingdom. Hi destroyed Leonard Smalls, the agent that the devil sent to return him back to his home. Because Hi and Ed tried to do good towards the end, God gave Hi a vision of one possible future for them - a place in heaven - provided that Hi agreed to have his memory wiped and atone for his other sins...as [[Film/GhostRider Smalls' replacement]].

[[WMG:H.I. suffers from asthma, which kept him out of the police when he was younger.]]

Ed and Nathan Sr. are able to get close to Smalls without a problem, but H.I. starts gagging and choking, suggesting asthma. It would also explain H.I.'s instant rapport with Ed, and his seemingly genuine desire to go straight.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Hi and Ed moved to Utah to become Mormons]]

In Hi's final dream, they have children and grandchildren and live in Utah. Consider this: Since Ed is barren, they become Mormons (in name only) so Hi could get a second wife to impregnate and bear children for them. Considering that Ed is desperate enough for children that she's willing to resort to kidnapping, she may be willing to resort to this as well.

Obviously, their branches of the family just spell the last name a little different from each other. I mean [[NicolasCage there's a very clear]] UncannyFamilyResemblance.

** Hi probably got his tattoo after his first arrest if we consider that he has to show it for the mug shot after his second or third arrest.

* Given that Smalls hints he was a baby in 1954, that would make him around 33 y.o. by the time of the film's setting and some 5-10 years older than Hi at most.
