"chief inspector." "and requires more than your ordinary attention." "The chancellor demanded my immediate involvement." "It'll be hard to run an investigation if you're detaining all my witnesses." "The security of information is paramount." "if indeed Jordan Tower was an accident." "What does that mean?" "The terrorist seems to have a rather intimate understanding of our system." "The chancellor suspects there might be an informer." "it would behove you to cease and concentrate on the concerns of our present." "You mean Larkhill?" "Major Wilson is a friend of the high chancellor." "His loyalty is not in question." "But mine is?" "wasn't she?" "wasn't it? I'd find the terrorist." "I'd find him soon." "Evey?" "Good God."

"we're both fugitives in our own way." "But..." "You're wondering why you were invited here to supper in the first place?" "If my appetites were for less conventional fare." "a man in my position is expected to entertain young and attractive if I were to invite" "I would undoubtedly find myself without a home or a television show." "I'm sorry." "Not as sorry as I am."

"You can get these poisons from any house in London." "Delia." "nothing yet." "But there's something else you can help me with." "didn't you?" "It's a Scarlet Carson." "They're believed to be extinct." "He leaves them at the crime scenes." "I'd appreciate it if you could have a look at it." "Any information could be helpful." "Of course." "Excuse me." "inspector." "ok." "he's killed them all." "All but one." "Who is she?" "Not sure." "two years." "which was denied." "Running away." "cause after that all record of her seems to stop." "that's what I'm guessing."

"And this one is for you." "while you slept." "Is there any pain?" "No." "Thank you." "Is it meaningless to apologise?" "Never." "I'm so sorry." "Damn it." "The terrorist obviously wanted us to have it." "He wanted us to know the story." "Or at least a part of it." "inspector?" "Yes." "Has anyone else read it?" "sir." "Then let me make this perfectly clear to you. as well as a blatant violation of the articles of allegiance."

"This is weird. he made me eggs just like this." "Really?" "although..." "There's an obvious explanation." "There is?" "Evey." "I am V. At last you know the truth." "that beneath this wrinkled well-fed exterior there lies a dangerous killing machine with a fetish for Fawkesian masks." "Gordon." "I know." "I'm useless without a studio audience." "wasn't he?" "There is something wrong with this country." "inspector." "You're at it early." "sir." "Dominic." "I don't care if you answer me or not." "I just wanna say this out loud." "And I need to know that this question will inspector." "Because of the terrorist?" "No." "chief?" "What's going on?" "The question I wanna ask is about St.Marys and Three Waters."

"They confessed." "I know." "And maybe thats really what happened." "But I see this chain of events... what if that isn't what happened?" "What is someone else unleashed that virus?" "What if someone else killed all those people?" "Would you really wanna know who it was?" "Sure." "Even if it was someone working for this government?" "That's my question."

"Why didn't you come forward before?" "What were you waiting for?" "inspector." "I needed you." "What's he doing in the dark there?" "Creepy Creedy." "Not sure I wanna know." "Mr.Creedy?" "And we both know why." "Mr.Creedy." "A man as smart as you has probably considered this." "A man as smart as you probably has a plan." "That plan is the reason Sutler can no longer trust you." "It's the reason why you're being watched right now." "There are eyes and ears in ever room of this house and a tap on every phone." "a man as smart as you I think knows otherwise." "What do you want?" "Sutler." "it would be you or him?" "That's why Sutler's been kept under ground for security purposes." "men that can be counted on." "All you have to do is say the word." "What do I get out of this deal?" "Me." "put an X on your front door." "Why should I trust you?" "Cause it's the only way you're ever going to stop me." "but your past that disarmed you."

"I am holding you personally responsible for this situation." "better than we know ourselves." "That's why I went to Larkhill last night." "That's outside quarantine." "I had to see it." "There wasn't much left... but when i was there it was strange." "I suddenly had this feeling that everything was connected." "one long chain of events that stretched all the way back before Larkhill." "I felt like I could see everything that had happened." "And everything that was going to happen."

"My friend picked it up and handed it to me... didn't recognise me." "I guess whatever you did to me worked better than I'd imagined." "I'd like to ask you something..." "Would you dance with me?" "revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having." "I'd love to." "and make the situation perfectly clear to them." "The security of this nation depends on complete and total compliance." "any instigator or agitator will be made example of." "there is a contingency that has not been adressed." "Mr.Dascombe?" "Should the terrorist succeed... but I will be reading Mr.Creedys resignation." "You've been busy." "They're very scared right not." "I heard Sutler is going to make a public statement tonight."

"Everything that" "I'm leaving to you to do with" "V?" "no more tricks." "No more lies." "Only truth." "that the choice to pull this lever... is not mine to make." "Why?" "and that I helped shape that different people will shape." "And this choice belongs to them. wait... we could leave here together." "No..." "You were right about what I am."

"Mr.Creedy?" "Disgusting." "Now that's done with." "It's time to have a look at your face." "Take off your mask." "No." "huh?" "will you?" "You're not afraid of death." "You're like me." "is we're both about to die." "How do you imagine that's gonna happen?" "With my hands around your neck." "Bollocks." "nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks." "We have guns."

"Why wont you die? and ideas are bulletproof." "over." "This is general Akroyd." "Keep communication tight." "I wont have this thing getting any more bollocksed up than it already is." "V."

"like I had no longer believed I could." "I don't want you to die." "That's the most beautiful thing you could have given me." "V?" "V?" "Eyes and ears have detected movement heading towards Trafalgars Square." "we have enemy contact." "Hold it." "Stop right there." "aren't you?" "Then it's over." "Almost." "Stop!" "Get your hand off that lever." "No." "what should we do?" "There's no response from command." "Or from party leader Creedy." "Or from the high chancellor." "Why are you doing this?" "Because he was right." "About what?" "That this country needs more than a building right now." "It needs hope." "Stand down." "Stand down." "Jesus bloody Christ." "It's time." "Tell me..." "Mr.Finch?" "That music..." "Yes." "His music." "Who was he?" "He was Edmond Dantés." "And he was my father and my mother." "My brother my friend." "He was you and me." "He was all of us."
