Answer: Infernal Affairs

Wai Keung Lau is the director of "Infernal Affairs". He has also directed 2 sequels, "Infernal Affairs 2" and "Infernal Affairs 3". "Infernal Affairs" is based on a gang known as the Triads. The Triads are a Hong Kong based gang that have been depicted in several other films and even some videogames.
2. Agents Dignam and Queenan first explain to Billy that he'll never make it as a state patrolman because he's way too smart. What profession does Dignam suggest Billy try?

Answer: Astronaut

Agent Dignam makes a wisecrack about Billy that he should be an astronaut not a state patrolman because he scored a 1400 on his SAT's. This is during the first meeting between Queenan, Dignam, and Costigan. Dignam and Queenan are trying to convince Costigan to work undercover because they know his talents would be wasted as a basic patrolman.
3. Who shoots Agent Brown?

Answer: Agent Barrigan

Toward the end of the movie Barrigan shoots Costigan on an elevator to help save Sullivan. When Brown hears a gunshot he runs downstairs. Brown sees Costigan's body on the elevator floor, but before he realizes what has happend, Barrigan shoots him too.
4. Who plays Billy Costigan's cousin in the film?

Answer: Kevin Corrigan

It's Billy's cousin who first helps get him started toward working for Costello by introducing him to Mr. French. Kevin Corrigan was also in "Goodfellas", which is another classic Martin Scorsese film. He played Ray Liota's little brother.
5. Which character is portrayed by Mark Wahlberg's older brother, Robert?

Answer: Agent Lazio

Agent Lazio is just a small role. He's sitting next to Sullivan during a meeting where Dignam explains that they have a mole in Costello's crew. Mark, Robert, and Donnie Wahlberg are all brothers, but they've never all acted in a movie together. Both Donnie and Robert worked together on "Southie" and Mark and Robert paired up for this film.
6. Who in Costello's crew eventually kills him, after finding out that Costello is an FBI informant?

Answer: Agent Sullivan

Costello is shot by a stray bullet during a gun fight between his crew and the local police. Costello then calls Sullivan and when the two meet up Costello admits that he's an FBI informant. In order to make sure that he doesn't get caught, Sullivan shoots Costello several times in the chest.
7. Agent Barrigan is killed by who?

Answer: Agent Sullivan

Sullivan shoots Barrigan right after Barrigan kills both Brown and Costigan. Barrigan is another of Costello's moles. However, Barrigan doesn't know that Sullivan killed Costello to cover his tracks, so to further his cause, Sullivan kills Barrigan too.
8. Agent Queenan is helping Dignam and Costigan in the investigation until he's killed by Costello's men. How is he killed?

Answer: He's thrown off of a building.

Queenan is killed when he gets caught by Costello's men at the abandoned building. He is there to meet Costigan, but once they realize that they've been followed he helps Costigan run down the fire escape. Costello's men catch Queenan and throw him off the building. He lands only a few feet from Costigan who was just getting back to the buildings entrance.
9. Who kills Agent Dignam?

Answer: Nobody

Agent Dignam is one of the few characters who survives. There are talks for a sequel to "The Departed" starring Mark Wahlberg's character Dignam, and there might be a prequel in the works, to bring back all of the characters.
10. What is the character's name, that both Agent Sullivan and Agent Costigan fall for?

Answer: Madolyn

Madolyn is a police psychiatrist who meets Sullivan in an elevator on her way to work. After a bit of flirting she gives him her business card and they later go out to dinner and begin dating. She meets Costigan because he's one of her patients. She feels bad for him because he is so desperate for affection, but because she's involved with Sullivan, she tells him that they can't be together.
