Well, the way I see it, Costello taught Sullivan everything he knows about the streets. He takes him under his wing early on in the movie, so Sullivan is doing him a favor by spying for him, but he also clearly does it out fear. Aside from identity and betrayal, the movie explores power and ambition. Notice how often and longinly Sullivan stares at the Massachusetts State House; he believes that being the best cop there is will get him to the top. Everyone wants power (and money). That movie's pretty awesome though, I'm sorry about your confusion.
