这场戏：临别道出复仇真相
第 20 章 · 共 25 章 · 2'37"
伊芙当面说要走，V 不拦她。他带她去看真瓦莱丽的照片，承认自己当年就关在她隔壁，说那封信是她在临终前写的。真相说破——他是在 getting back at（报复）害过她的人，因为 what was done to me created me（我遭遇的一切造就了我）。最后他求她：如果还能再见我一面，哪怕只有一次。
❝ 独白 · 5 句 「你是在报复他们」：getting back at
getting back at 报复、算旧账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 没有拦她，只说这里再没有 locked doors（上锁的门）。他本来想留下那封信，可一想到是伊芙写的就觉得不妥；伊芙却说她没写过。于是 V 带她去看真瓦莱丽的照片，坦白当年自己就关在她隔壁牢房，信是瓦莱丽 just before she died（就在临终之前）写的，他也是这样把它交到伊芙手上。伊芙明白过来：这一切都是 getting back at（报复）——而 V 说自己遭遇的一切造就了他，每个作用力都有 equal and opposing reaction（大小相等的反作用）。临别时他求她：如果只能实现一个愿望，他想再见她一次。

下一章 · 21the ends justify the means为达目的不择手段这场戏：线人揭出病毒阴谋意思是「报复、算旧账」。伊芙看穿 V 是在 getting back at 那些害过她和瓦莱丽的人，也就是以牙还牙、讨回这笔账。
可以说 if only once。V 说 If I had one wish, I would wish to see you again, if only once，就是「哪怕只能再见你一次」。这是虚拟语气，表达很难实现的愿望。
字面是「上锁的门」。V 说这里再不会有 locked doors，意思是伊芙可以自由离开，也象征囚禁和束缚都结束了。
意思是「造出了一个怪物」。V 说他们对我做的事 was monstrous（骇人听闻），And they created a monster，指的是他们把他逼成了现在的样子。
意思是「就在……之前」，比 before 更强调紧接着。信是瓦莱丽 just before she died 写的，也就是临终前不久。
