The Departed: help me with a few loose ends. Spoilers

really great movie.

1. Did the plot line ever indicate that the shrink opened the envelope DiCaprio gave her? Question 3?

2. Towards the end Matt Damon is in his building with groceries and a woman with a dog avoids him disdainfully and pulls the dog away as he tries to pat it. Why?

3. And immediately after that he gets shot. Is the shooter yet another informer or just a vigilante?

Matt Damon gets shot by Lt. Dingham or whatever his name was(one of my fav characters in the movie fwiw)

Dude, Matt Damon's killer was a pretty major character. How could you miss that?

I had to ask my mate who he was. I didn't recognise him at all.

Seriously, WTF.

He was the most in your face character of the entire film.

He was nominated for an Oscar for the role.

You clearly need to rewatch the movie if you weren't paying enough attention to get this.

but was he another informer? or just an otherwise good cop seeking revenge for Martin Sheens character getting killed?

Also it's been a while since I've seen it, but I thought Marky Marks character was one of the few people in the movie to be definitively not a rat.

I always assumed that the envelope was how Dingham knew that Damon's character was the informant.

yeah me too. is there any other explanation that makes sense? other than Marky Mark just having a hunch that Damon was the mole?

Marky Mark was a rat as well, I thought that was a given.
