Alcatraz: Best Twists of Episodes 1 and 2

... a mysterious key, which was being held by a man named Barkley Flynn. Flynn seemingly has no connection to anyone we've met in the show so far. After Sylvane makes quick work of a couple of SFPD officers, he confronts Flynn who opens a safe containing a "soft, black bag" with a giant key. Once he has the key, he shoots Flynn and takes off moments before Hauser and his team arrive on the scene. So what's the key for? We're just gonna have to wait and see, since even Sylvane doesn't seem to know when he's eventually caught and interrogated.

When we initially meet Rebecca, she explains, what Doc calls, her "origin story." She comes from a long line of police officers and her grandfather was actually a guard at Alcatraz around the time of the disappearance. However, Hauser dashes those memories when he "introduces" her to The Sixty-Three, where she discovers that her grandfather, Tommy Madsen, was actually an inmate. To add even more salt to the wound, Rebecca also comes to the realization that she's already confronted her reanimated grandfather, as the fleeing criminal who killed her former partner.

Lucy Banerjee (Parminder Nagra) serves as Hauser's equally-mysterious, right-hand woman. Although it's never made clear exactly what her role within the team is early on, while "babysitting" Madsen and Doc on an investigation into the whereabouts of Cobb, Lucy winds up on the receiving end of one of Cobb's bullets, and winds up in a coma. Her fate remains in limbo thus far.

So just how deep into the investigation of the mysterious disappearances of The SIxty-Three's is Hauser? At the end of the first episode, we discover that he was actually one of the guards who initially discovered that all of the inmates and guards had vanished from the island. Clearly, this has become Hauser's life mission, to not only answer why this happened (which he may already know the answer to), but to also bring all of the images to justice... again.
