Secrets from the Enemy

In some stories, when the hero faces the enemy, he discovers some secrets between them. For example, the enemy can be someone the hero trusted, or associated with someone the hero trusted, or have a secret connection with the hero's past.

This can have an effect such as leading the hero to outsmarting or Overpowering the Enemy or catching the hero off guard.

Quotes
"(The Doctor: MARS Industries manufactures 70% of all arms on the planet. 70%! Did you know that, Duke? There are two sides to McCullen's operation: the Sword and the Shield. The Sword creates and sells weaponry, while the Shield creates defensive technology, like high-tech bunkers, which are supposed to protect one from anything from a nuclear blast to a nanomite warhead. Unfortunately, the bunker in which I took shelter was just a prototype.) Who are you? (The Doctor takes off his wig and mask, revealing a scarred but familiar face.) Rex? YOU SON OF A B****! ANA BURIED YOU! (The Doctor: Moving ceremony, I'm sure. The three-volley salute. (puts his wig and mask back on) Boots on the ground, a folded flag in her arms.) Why? Why didn't you just come in? (The Doctor: Because I discovered something.) (Later on) (The Doctor: We survived that blast, somewhat, and Dr Mindbender and I escaped with his research, which I perfected and which you will now experience firsthand.) Does Ana know about this? About you? (The Doctor: No, and she never will.) (Later on) (The Doctor: You left me for dead, Duke, and look at me. Now you will know what it's like to be a monster!) (The Baroness knocks him off the machine and shuts it down, then frees Duke.) (Baroness: We don't have much time.) Ana? (The two embrace. Duke then sees a nanomite symbol under her ear.) Oh my goodness. (Ana suddenly falls unconscious) (The Doctor: Security to the operating chamber!) Rex! (The Doctor: (holding a small computer screen) I press this, she dies.) YOU DID THIS TO YOUR OWN SISTER! (The Doctor: I loved my sister. Do you have any idea of the state she was in with me dead, you gone? Have you ever felt truly alone? I gave her a way to deal with the pain. I gave her purpose.) You could have stopped all of this, just by letting her know you were alive. (The Doctor: Science requires sacrifice.) All she's done... was BECAUSE OF YOU! (The Doctor: And because of you, Duke. You abandoned her. Let's not forget that point.) I'm gonna kill you, Rex."

- Duke discovering that the Doctor is actually Rex Lewis, his long-lost comrade. He also discovered that Rex injected the Baroness with nanomites to help her get over a tragedy.

"(Dom, Brian and the team find Shaw eating alone) (Brian: I hope you're enjoying your last meal.) (Shaw looks up from his plate, puts his fork down and looks around.) (Shaw: This is it? This is all I warrant? A dozen men?) (Agent Sheppard: I think you'll find it's more than enough.) (Shaw wipes his mouth with a tablecloth, pulls a pin from his teeth and puts a grenade on the table. The team goes alert while Dom walks up to Shaw.) I'm ready to meet my maker. Are you? (Shaw: What were you expecting, Toretto? Catch me off guard? Me standing here, waving a white flag? You ever heard the saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"?) I don't have friends. I got family. (Shaw: Well, I got a lot of friends.) (The room suddenly goes dark before a door explodes and Mose Jakande and his militants appear.)"
