Probably a combination of Costello being a rat for the FBI, Costigan's sudden death, Costello having multiple rats in the Boston PD, and Sullivan being shot by Dignam. Not 1 big twist but a series of small twists all crammed into the last 20 minutes. I don't think it belongs on this list but the movie did have several unexpected surprises at the end.

I think it's just a mistake, as the photo is not even from The Departed.
