[Evey is allowed to leave her prison unexpectedly and finds she was actually in V's lair the whole time]V:[Entering] Hello, Evey.Evey: ..You...it was you...V: [quietly] Yeah.Evey: [gestures behind her] That wasn't real... Is Gordon-?V: I'm sorry, but Mr Deitrich's dead. I thought they'd arrest him, but when they found a Qur'an in his house, they had him executed.Evey: [whispers] Oh, God..V: Fortunately, I got to you before they did.Evey: You got to me? You did this to me... You cut my hair... You tortured me... You tortured me! Why?V: You said you wanted to live without fear. I wish there'd been an easier way, but there wasn't.Evey: [whispers] Oh, my God!V: I know you may never forgive me, but nor will you ever understand how hard it was for me to do what I did. Every day, I saw in myself everything you see in me now. Every day, I wanted to end it. But each time you refused to give in, I knew I couldn't.Evey: [shouting angrily] You're sick! You're evil!V: You could have ended it, Evey. You could have given in, but you didn't. Why?Evey: Leave me alone! I hate you!V: That's it! See, at first, I thought it was hate too. Hate was all I knew. It built my world, imprisoned me, taught me how to eat, how to drink, how to breathe! I thought I'd die with all the hate in my veins. But then something happened. It happened to me, just as it happened to you.Evey: Shut up! I don't want to hear your lies!V: Your own father said that artists use lies to tell the truth. Yes, I created a lie, but because you believed it, you found something true about yourself.Evey: No...V: What was true in that cell is just as true now. What you felt in there has nothing to do with me.Evey: I CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING ANYMORE!V: Don't run from it, Evey. You've been running all your life.Evey: [Gasping heavily] I can't... can't breathe... Asthma... When I was little... [Collapses while V catches her]V: Listen to me, Evey. This may be the most important moment of your life. Commit to it. They took your parents from you. They took your brother from you. They put you in a cell and took everything they could take except your life. And you believed that was all there was, didn't you? The only thing you had left was your life, but it wasn't, was it?Evey: [Sobbing] Oh... please...V: You found something else. In that cell, you found something that mattered more to you than life. Because when they threatened to kill you unless you gave them what they wanted... you told them you'd rather die. You faced your death, Evey. You were calm. You were still. Try to feel now what you felt then.
