The guy with the keys was named in the credits as "KEYS". As in Mt. 16:18-19
"And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church,
and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the 
kingdom of heaven;..."

I found the article a fascinating study in parallelism, even though some of the

points seemed rather forced. Many of them I missed entirely, although I managed
to sense some of them the second time I saw it. I don't feel that the story was
beholden to the parallelism; it did quite well on its own. The added interpre-
tations provide an interesting sideline of speculation without the story being
dependant upon them for it to work.
