Movie DEPARTED: What the heck is inside that envelope? Options

[tomazws]

Not the one that says "Citizens", but the one that Leonardo gave to Gwen, told her "open it when i call you or when I'm dead"!?!??!?!?!?!?!

Excellent movie. My only complaint was the last 3 minutes. There were at least 6-7 other ways to end that movie which would have been SOOOOOOOO much better.

The envelope had his identity information in it because he suspected Matt Damon's character would try to delete it so noone would know that he was still a cop.

I would have ended the movie by no-one believing Conigan once he brought Damon's character in for arrest. As a result, Conigan goes to jail and then the woman opens the envelope and gives Walburg's character the evidence so that he could bring down Damon's character. Damon's character would then later be killed in prison by a mob affiliate. Would have been much better.

Well, scorsese wanted to be true to the Chinese version call "internal Affaris" and for the most part it was. But this version was a bit more clearer to explain some parts. In the chinese movie the girlfreind and psychiatrist were two different people. It also ended different, where the Matt Dameon character gets away with everything after the elevator. The movie ends showing the psych holding the envelope Leo character gave her, they never say whats in it or what she does with it. In the american version must have had the evidence that the guy was a mob informant and that to give that info to Mark Wallburg. And Wallburg, being the guy he is, didnt care about going through the law and just wanted revenge for killing his guy.
