What does "mortal vindication" mean?
I was watching the TV series "Revenge", the beginning of Season 1. Here're the lines that came out at the beginning: "For the truly wronged, real satisfaction can only be found in one of two places, absolute forgiveness or mortal vindication.This is not a story about forgiveness." I think that I have totally understood vindication here, which means the wronged would be proved innocent to the public at last, and people would no longer hate them, accuse them, etc. and so they would find real peace inside. But why is there a "mortal"? What does it mean here? Or is there something like a phrase called "mortal vindication" that means something different? Thank you for your kindly help!~

Is it correct to say "I forgot my keys at home"?
Do you say "I forgot my keys at home." in English? Some of my friends told me that when you say "forgot/forget sth.", it shouldn't be followed by somewhere. Is it true? Thank you so much!

one of a kind
I don't quite get the meaning of the expression "one of a kind". I heard it in this story: When a fugitive wanted to make sure that the man who ratted her out to the police would get the 23 grand reward just because she thought he was actually a nice man, the marshal who chased her down heard this request and remarked,'You really are one of a kind.' What does it mean here? Thank you for your help!:)

"My fault." and "My mistake."
What's the difference between the two expressions? They are similar, but I kind of sense that there is still some slight difference between them that I can tell clearly.Thanks for your help!

"What' with all the fog?"
I was watching 'the Vampire Diary' Season 1 Chapter 1. When a man who was driving saw something like fog ahead, he said, 'What's with all the fog?' I don't quite understand it. What does it mean? What does "with" mean here? I thought, when people say, ''sth's with the fog", it usually means there's sth. unkown in the fog that we can't see, but we can hear it or sense it somehow, right?

About the word 'determined'
Can I say "He is a determined person" when I want to express that he always makes a firm decision and executes the end of the plan? I mean, can I just put "determined" here, right in front of " the person"? I looked it up in the Oxford English-Chinese dictionary, in which they say it can't be used before noun. But I doubt it. So, I need your help. Thank you!
