Treatment

Reward: Ulgoth beats the crap out of Lord Recto, and then he gets with Lara.

The Road Back: Ulgoth and the gang make their way back to the ship and fly off.

Hero's Journey for The Departed

Ordinary World: The story begins when Colin Sullivan and Billy Costigan both join the police force.

Call to Adventure: Sullivan is called to SIU, and Costigan is called to be an undercover agent.

Refusal of the Call: Both of the main characters are slightly unsure of going through their operations.

Meeting with the Mentor: Sullivan meets Costello as a kid, and Costigan Meets Costello in the bar after being accepted into the force.

Crossing the Threshold: Costigan finally becomes a member of Costello's group, and Sullivan becomes the leader of the investigation of the rat in the force.

Tests, Allies, Enemies: Tests-various crimes Costello forces Costigan to perform, and Sullivan trying to track down the rat.
Allies-Costello(to Sullivan), Dignam/Queenan (Costigan)
Enemies-The cops (Sullivan), Mr. French and Costello (Costigan)

Approach: Both Sullivan and Costigan are suspected of being rats on each end. They have to try convince them both that they are actually on their side.

Ordeal: When Queenan gets killed, Costigan's desire to send the criminals to justice reaches a new high.

Reward: Sullivan has brought justice to everyone, and betrayed everyone, and he thought he got away with it--until Staff Sargeant Dignam caps him at the end.

The Road Back: Sullivan returns to his home. Everything seems normal.

Resurrection: Costello pulls a gun on Sullivan, but Sullivan caps him first.

Return with Elixir: Sullivan, the snake, goes home, and he takes the feeling that everything is okay with him, which everyone else believes, as well. However, Dignam putting a bullet in his head really just satisfies everyone's needs.
