這場戲：臨別道出復仇真相
第 20 章 · 共 25 章 · 2'37"
伊芙當面說要走，V 不攔她。他帶她去看真瓦萊麗的照片，承認自己當年就關在她隔壁，說那封信是她在臨終前寫的。真相說破——他是在 getting back at（報復）害過她的人，因為 what was done to me created me（我遭遇的一切造就了我）。最後他求她：如果還能再見我一面，哪怕只有一次。
❝ 獨白 · 5 句 「你是在報復他們」：getting back at
getting back at 報復、算舊賬What was done to me 我所遭遇的一切an equal and opposing reaction 大小相等、方向相反的反作用
伊芙收拾好要走，V 沒有攔她，只說這裡再沒有 locked doors（上鎖的門）。他本來想留下那封信，可一想到是伊芙寫的就覺得不妥；伊芙卻說她沒寫過。於是 V 帶她去看真瓦萊麗的照片，坦白當年自己就關在她隔壁牢房，信是瓦萊麗 just before she died（就在臨終之前）寫的，他也是這樣把它交到伊芙手上。伊芙明白過來：這一切都是 getting back at（報復）——而 V 說自己遭遇的一切造就了他，每個作用力都有 equal and opposing reaction（大小相等的反作用）。臨別時他求她：如果只能實現一個願望，他想再見她一次。

“Well, you won't find any more locked doors here.”

用「上鎖的門」代指掌控和囚禁，一句告別裡全是放手。

下一章 · 21the ends justify the means為達目的不擇手段這場戲：線人揭出病毒陰謀意思是「報復、算舊賬」。伊芙看穿 V 是在 getting back at 那些害過她和瓦萊麗的人，也就是以牙還牙、討回這筆賬。
可以說 if only once。V 說 If I had one wish, I would wish to see you again, if only once，就是「哪怕只能再見你一次」。這是虛擬語氣，表達很難實現的願望。
字面是「上鎖的門」。V 說這裡再不會有 locked doors，意思是伊芙可以自由離開，也象徵囚禁和束縛都結束了。
意思是「造出了一個怪物」。V 說他們對我做的事 was monstrous（駭人聽聞），And they created a monster，指的是他們把他逼成了現在的樣子。
意思是「就在……之前」，比 before 更強調緊接著。信是瓦萊麗 just before she died 寫的，也就是臨終前不久。
