Dignam had the best lines but Ellerby was badass too.

Don't forget the other undercover cop in the mob crew. The one who was killed in the shoot out at the building and bled out on the couch after tellih Leo he knew he wad undercover and then later it told on the news that his body was found and that he was a cop.

Excuse the run on sentence. On the phone and lazy today.

That guy wasn't an undercover cop. The cops just said he was to get Jack off of Leo's scent

Just literally finished watching it again (2nd time, saw it a long while back) and all the explanations sound accurate.

Not sure how we know who's the father though or why that matters as both guys end up dead.

Movie was still great second time through.

----

edit:
The question I have is how did the other rat that shot Leo even know what was going on and where they were? How and who tipped him off? How was he even there to kill Leo?

I always kind of assumed Leo had sent Marky Mark copies of the recordings like he did with Damon.





He did. Two weeks after he died, his baby mama sent those tapes to Marky Mark, per Leo's instructions.

Marky Mark just decided not to reveal it and take matters into his own hands.

the first time I watched the departed I was so high I thought LeoD and Matt damon were the same actor the whole movie. Needless to say it was pretty confusing. Second time I tried watching I was hammered drunk, so it was all I could do just to try to remember to keep the 2 leads separate.

At this point if someone ever asks if I've seen it I just say no even though I've "seen" it twice, bc essentially I really haven't ever seen it. One of these days I feel like I need to give it another shot sober.

Dignam was on leave when Leo called Anthony Anderson right? That's why he couldn't find him/get ahold of him.

And WTF does it matter if it was for Sheen or Leo? It was both of them.
---------------------------------------------------------
Damon had his team follow Sheen because he was going to meet his informant (DiCaprio). Remember one of the cops saying something to the effect of, "What the frick are we following Capt. Queenan for?"

They end up on Washburn St and Sheen gets thrown off of the roof. Cops and Nicholson's guys in the van shoot it out in the street.

In the aftermath at the office, Marky Mark asks Damon why he had Sheen followed. Damon tells him to frick off, so Marky Mark kicks his arse. Baldwin suspends Marky Mark for two weeks. That's why Leo called Anthony Anderson (his State Police Academy classmate).

You guys keep saying "marky mark" and "recordings" and now I'm thinking of the Funky Bunch.

Delahunt was not a real cop. That's what Martin sheen wanted Costello to believe.
