I don't want to have to wait
for full clean-up just to get

- a status report.
- We're collecting this data

- as quickly as possible.
- That's not good enough.

Okay, maybe you can tell me
what happened.

There was some kind of breach.
One of the astronauts

- sent a distress call.
- What about the crew?

- We're still investigating.
- Where did it go down?

It's 20 kilometers
west of Sibu.



Did we at least retrieve
all of the samples?

No. We have
three of them.

One of the organisms
got out of containment,

and it's missing.
We don't know which one.

One of the astronauts
is still alive.

Missed me.

- Here you go.

- You can have it back.
- Thank... (GROANS)

Oh, wow,
you're wearing a suit. Yes!

- I love it when you wear the suit.
- Thank you.

I have depositions today
in the Life Foundation case.

Hey, let me know
how your meeting goes.

My meeting?

Oh, shit. Yeah.

My meeting.

- Coffee.
- Oh. Mmm!

- You are perfect.
- Thank you.

Hey, you know what...
You know what night

- it is tonight, right?
- Date night.

Mmm-hmm. So, I will pick
you up around, uh, 6:00.

And please do not forget
your helmet.

Oh, I'm glad
that you like it,

'cause I plan on wearing it
at our wedding.

That's hot.

Feed the cat.

I will.

I love you!

Love you, too.

EDDIE: Eddie Brock
with boots on the ground

today in the Mission District,
chasing a lead into some...

Everybody knows how
our Silicon Valley overlords

at Google and Facebook...
Last time, I was poking around

asking uncomfortable
questions...

Homelessness is only increasing
into the thousands...

Eddie Brock here reporting
today from downtown Oakland,

where massive demonstrations
have taken over the streets.

I've been chasing
this real-estate bribery story

for a few weeks now.

This is gonna piss you off.
...all being strong-armed...

Medical examiner has yet
to determine cause of death,

due to the condition
of the body,

but you don't wind up
at the bottom of a landfill

due to natural causes,
so it seems that the city

doesn't care about these people
any more than the killer does.

I'm Eddie Brock,
and this is The Brock Report.

Hey, Richard!

- Lookin' good!
- Eddie, you can't park there, bro.

Come on, man. There's
no such thing as can't.

How'd she do?

Berkeley. Brown. MIT.

- She's got a scholarship, bro.
- What'd I tell you?

You told me what?

- No such thing as can't.
- Eddie.

The bike.

MIT! Whoo!

You know what I love
about this view?

- It never gets old.
- EDDIE: Yeah, well, uh...

Height's not really my thing.

But, uh...
What's the deal?

- I got you the big one, exclusive.
- Yeah? Who?

Carlton Drake.

- Carlton Drake?
- The man's a visionary.

He wants to talk
about his rockets,

assure everyone they're safe,
that the crash was an anomaly.

Uh...

He's... He's seriously off.

I'm gonna level with you.

Carlton Drake could buy us
with his pocket cash,

turn this building into his
own garage if he so wished.

Now, you're just gonna ask him
about his space program,

you're gonna thank him, and
you're gonna bid him a nice day.

He's a crook.

Eddie, when you had nowhere
to go, we gave you a home.

Now, you know we love
the Eddie Brock show.

There isn't a better investigative
reporter working today,

but no one
is above the network.

So do me a favor, Eddie,
don't start your shit again.

All right, all right.

- For me.
- All right. I'll do it.

EDDIE: I don't know why he gave
me this assignment, Annie.

It's not...
It's not what I do.

ANNE: Well, my mother
always told me

that anything in life worth
having would take sacrifice...

- Mmm-hmm.
- Patience...

- Mmm.
- And be a lot of work.

- Oh.
- That's you...

- That's not.
- ...that I'm talking about.

- Nah.
- Yeah.

Well, you're lucky
to have me.

To be fair,
I'm quite a catch.

- That's what my mom told me.
- (LAUGHS)

Are you gonna
behave yourself tomorrow?

No. No, I'm gonna do my job.
That's what I'm gonna do.

I can't, you know,
not do my job.

The guy you work for
is a complete...

I don't work for Drake.
I work for my firm,

and my firm works for him.

And I'm sure
that they defend many people

that you don't deem worthy,
but we don't want a repeat.

- A repeat?
- Of the Daily Globe incident.

Ow! Really?

- Incident? That's not an incident.
- Mmm-hmm.

- Baby, you were run out of New York.
- I was not. I did not.

I don't want you
run out of San Francisco.

No, I still have
currency in New York.

I was going places.

I wasn't running.

I was going places.

In fact, I moved
to San Francisco for you.

- Me?
- You are my home.

You're not so bad yourself,
champ.

- Less talking, more kissing.
- All right.

Let's just get the check.

♪ Oh

♪ You are my lady

♪ Ooh, ooh

♪ I am your man

- Shh.
- (CAT MEOWS)

CARLTON: Very soon,
another Life Foundation rocket

will be sent
on an exploratory mission.

And that's how, one day,
we might all live in space.

- (CHILDREN EXCLAIM)
- Cool, huh? And now that I've shown you

some of the cool stuff
that we do here,

I'm hoping I've inspired
each and every one of you

to go out there
and create things that others

- have only dreamt of.
- GIRL: Mr. Drake?

- Shh!
- It's okay. Don't silence her.

Come here. What's your name?

- Allie.
- It's okay, Allie.

You know, sometimes
that's what people do.

They try and silence
those of us who ask questions.

But you know what?
In the end,

we're the ones
who change the world.

Take good care
of that, Allie.

Guys, this is Dr. Skirth.

- Say hi.
- CHILDREN: Hi.

Hello, kids.

Um, sorry to interrupt,

but it's time to get changed
for your interview.

Yeah. Uh, kids,
sorry to leave you.

Allie, you're in charge.
High five up top.

Dr. Skirth will answer Allie's
question, and any others.

- See you next time, guys. Bye!
- CHILDREN: Bye!

EDDIE: What do you say,
Mr. Drake,

we just start
at the beginning?

- Born to British parents.
- CARLTON: Mmm-hmm.

And then at 19, you
discovered a gene therapy

that literally doubles
the life expectancy

- of pancreatic cancer patients.
- Well, actually,

it tripled their
life expectancy.

But it's okay.

Okay, um, 24.
That's still extremely young.

All right, you create
(IMITATES EXPLOSION)

- the Life Foundation!
- It didn't happen overnight.

And then...
(WHOOSHES) Rockets.

You then decide,
like any normal human being,

that you're gonna go
and explore space.

You know what it is?
I have always believed...

- Uh-huh.
- ...that space exploration

is crucial
in our quest to cure

everything that ails us
here on Earth.

But if you think about
everything we've found...

- Uh-huh.
- ...in the oceans and on land,

- isn't it time to look up there?
- Mmm-hmm.

To this plethora
of untapped resources?

And you have a plethora
of untapped resources, also,

from your pharmaceutical
companies

that you're involved with,
you know, to help you realize

- that ambition, I suppose.
- Of course.

- Yeah.
- Full circle.

So, I have to ask,
how does that work,

you know, exactly,
the Life Foundation thing?

How does it...
How does it, um...

I don't know,
how does it go about,

- say, testing pharmaceuticals?
- WOMAN: Eddie, we're talking

- about the rocket here.
- No, I'm not. I'm not.

I'm talking
about the allegations.

- I'm sorry, I don't...
- It says that

your entire empire
has been built

- on dead bodies.
- Eddie.

It's true, right?
It says that you recruit

the most vulnerable of us
to volunteer for tests...

- Hmm.
- ...that more often than not

end up killing people.

Yeah, I'm aware
of these rumors online.

There's a lot of fake news
out there these days.

Right. What about
the legal cases?

Sorry?

Uh, the actual legal cases,
like Sarah Chambers,

- Phil Barclay, Rob MacDonald.
- GUARD: That's it. Time to go.

Thank you so much for coming
to talk to me, Mr. Brock.

And they're just some
of the people who walked

- through these doors...
- Have a nice day.

- Cut the camera off, please.
- CARLTON: Thank you very much.

- GUARD: Time is up. Come on.
- They're dead. The Dead...

- Could you show him out, please?
- The Dead Found...

Don't touch me.
The Dead Foundation thing.

- Get out of here, Brock.
- We're not finished.

Yes, you are, Mr. Brock.

Is that a threat?

Have a nice life.

I know what
you're going to say, but...

This guy, he is
all the way bad, Jack.

- If you just give...
- Who's your source?

- Excuse me?
- Who's your source, Eddie?

I don't have a source, per se.
But I have a hunch.

This isn't the Wild Wild West.

We don't go off half-cocked
based on a hunch.

We do the work.

We substantiate
our accusations.

We provide evidence.

You know, for a smart guy,
you really are a dumbass.

(EDDIE'S BOSS SIGHS)

You're fired, Eddie.

I can't trust you.

Have a nice life.

- MAN 1: Will just take a second.
- MAN 2: Okay.

Hey.

You are pathologically
self-absorbed.

Annie. Annie,
can you talk to me first?

Your ego requires
constant attention,

and you're stubborn as hell.

But I was willing to roll with
it, Eddie, because I loved you.

You "loved" me?
What is that supposed to mean?

ANNE: What you did
got me fired.

You used me.

Annie? Annie.

Biological interactions

- between two different organisms.
- (LOW SNARLING)

These creatures need to bond
with a respiratory host

in order to survive
for any amount of time

in an oxygen-rich environment.

Well, why are
all these hosts

showing this hyper-acute
rejection?

DORA: That's what
we're trying to find out.

(BEEPING)

The bonding process
is starting.

(COMPUTER CHIMES)

It's equalizing.

(LOW GRUMBLING)

(LAUGHS)

But why? Why this rabbit?

- It's similar to an organ transplant.
- Huh.

Where the donor and recipient
must be an exact match?

- That's correct.
- Okay. So wait, think about it.

If we do achieve symbiosis, they
should be able to survive here,

but also we would
be able to survive there.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
"We"?

- Begin human trials.
- Oh, it's way too soon

to even begin to think
about something like...

Dr. Skirth, you're at the forefront
of a scientific breakthrough.

I need you to hold your nerve.
All right?

I understand,
but it's an ethical question.

Think of future generations.
Think of your kids.

Hey, how are your kids?

Let's begin human trials.

Good work.

(SLOW-TEMPO

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey, Jack.

Do you ever feel
like your life

- is like one monumental screwup?
- Nope.

CARLTON: (ON TV)
Here at the Life Foundation,

- we've always believed...
- Isn't that your buddy?

...in finding the lessons
in our disappointments.

In the months
since our rocket failed,

we've learned so much.

Do you think we could,
like, switch him off?

Some people
are trying to watch that.

Oh, you are, are you?

- Yeah?
- Aren't you Eddie Brock?

I used to be.

CARLTON: We take
the same view of progress.

Thrilled to announce
that the Life Foundation

has now begun preparations
on its next launch.

All right, Jack,
this is for you.

I do not want you
to spend it all at once.

I'm going to go home and chase
myself around the room,

playing hard to get.

- (HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING)
- (DISTANT SIREN WAILING)

- Hey, Maria.
- Eddie.

- How's it going?
- Righteous, Eddie.

Oh! Yeah, we're empty.

Cost you $5.

$5 for a paper that's free?

I walked all the way over
to the vending machine,

got the papers out and
brought 'em back over here,

so you can have 'em
personally delivered to you.

You did that for me?

- Yes, I did.
- Oh.

- Five bucks.
- That's pretty steep.

Tell you what, you give
me a dollar for a song,

I'll throw in the paper.

I'll tell you what,
I will give you 20 bucks,

but not to sing,
all right?

Deal.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- No. You're welcome.
- (LAUGHS)

- (SHOP BELL TINKLING)
- Hey, Mrs. Chen.

- How you doing, Eddie?
- Ah, aches and pains,

you know, aches and pains.

You look like shit.

Excuse me?

You look like shit.

And you look
as beautiful as ever.

- Jesus.
- Mind is body, Eddie.

Have you been meditating
like I showed you?

- No, I have not. And it does not work.
- It doesn't work,

- because you don't give it a chance.
- No, it doesn't work,

because I bought a DVD off your
cousin, and it was in Mandarin.

- (SPEAKS MANDARIN)
- Yeah, I don't understand that, either.

See, that right there, I don't
understand what you just said.

That is the problem.

(SPEAKS MANDARIN)

There's no need to be

There's no need.

Isaac. You know
that's a biblical name?

(NERVOUSLY) Yes, sir.

God said to Abraham,
"Give me your son,

"show me you are willing
to sacrifice the one thing

"most precious to you,"
and Abraham was willing.

You know what's always
impressed me about that story?

It isn't Abraham's sacrifice.
It's Isaac's.

Now, I don't know what kind of
God would ask that of someone,

but it doesn't change
anything for me.

Isaac is still the hero
of this story.

Look around you.
Look at the world.

What do you see?
War, poverty,

a planet on the brink
of collapse.

I would argue that God
has abandoned us.

He didn't keep
his end of the bargain, Isaac,

so now it's down to you and me
to put this right.

And this time, Isaac,
we can.

We will.

This time,
I will not abandon us.

I was...

I was pretty successful,
as well, you know?

My job, it required you to...
You know, to follow people

that did not want to be followed
and hide in plain sight.

I mean...

You have to know
how to disappear.

I was pretty good, but,
you know, you...

Whoever you are, you suck.

Okay.

- Uh, my name is Dora Skirth.
- Mmm.

I need your help.

- I work at the Life Foundation.
- You do?

- Yes.
- Wow. Good for you.

We're done.

- No...
- (SHOP BELL JINGLES)

Mr. Brock, please...
Please listen to me.

Everything that you
accused him of,

you were right.
It's all true.

- I don't care anymore.
- Really?

Because he's got a lab
filled with poor people,

and they're all signing waivers
that they don't understand,

and he's using them
like guinea pigs,

and they are dying.

They are all dying.

- You've seen that?
- Yes.

Come here.

Why would I believe you?

Because it's true.

I believed in him, and I...

I told myself
that it was worth it

because we were curing cancer,
but now this is different.

- Something else.
- Go to the cops.

I can't do that.

I'm afraid of what
will happen to my family.

He's a very dangerous man, and
he's a very powerful man...

I know, I know
how dangerous he is,

because the very first time
I interviewed him,

just once, I lose my job
the very next day.

I lost my career,
I lost my relationship,

I lost my apartment, I lost
everything I ever cared about.

You know why? Carlton Drake
ruined me. Finished.

Now, if you are
who you say you are,

genuinely,
and you have proof,

then you should be
very, very, very afraid.

I am.

You need to find yourself another
white knight, Ms. Skirth,

because I am done.

I am done
with all of this shit.

What shit?

All of this "saving my
fellow man" shit.

All right? Good night.

ANNE: Eddie?

Well, hey. Whoa.

Anne, I was just walking by,
and, uh...

I saw Mr. Belvedere.

I felt concerned for
his welfare, so...

Eddie... (SIGHS)

This is Dan.

- Dan, this is Eddie.
- Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hey, man.

- Yeah.
- Annie's told me a lot about you.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I'm a big fan of your work.

- Thank you.
- Really?

It's pretty cool, all the
people that he took down.

Yeah, I was one of them.

DAN: Well, look,
I'll let you guys catch up.

- So I'll see you inside?
- You're the best.

- Really nice meeting you, man.
- Uh, you, too.

(KEYS JANGLE)

- He has a key. You know he has a key?
- (DOOR CLOSES)

Yeah. How else
would he get in?

(CHUCKLES HALFHEARTEDLY)

Yeah. Well, uh... (SNIFFS)

So, uh, what you up to?

You realize that's light-years away
from being any of your business, right?

Hey, well, just asking,
you know.

So, is Dan, uh, a lawyer?

No, he's a doctor.

- Surgeon, actually.
- Oh.

How's Mr. Belvedere, anyway?

(STAMMERS) I would say
that he misses you,

but that would be bullshit,
'cause...

- He's a cat.
- No, because he never liked you.

No, he's a cat,
and cats don't like anyone.

You look good, by the way.
You doing good?

What are you
doing here, Eddie?

I'm here 'cause I miss you.

A lot.

You know, we were gonna
get married.

That wasn't so long ago,
and now, you know...

I can't really believe
that we're not... (SIGHS)

Are we gonna try
and find our way back?

No, we can't.

You did this, Eddie.

Not Carlton Drake,
not the network.

Uh, hello.
This is Dr. Skirth.

Yes, Eddie Brock here.

Talk to me.

EDDIE: Are you sure
this is gonna work?

DORA: Just stay down
and shut up, please.

MAN: (OVER RADIO) 53.5,
win-909 RPM.

Whew.

DORA: Overpopulation
and climate change.

These are two things
that Drake cannot control.

EDDIE: Yeah, got it, right.

DORA: We are literally a generation
away from an uninhabitable Earth.

- EDDIE: Uh, yeah.
- Drake is using his personal rockets

to scout real estate.

You know, it's a really
interesting story,

but we need to just get to the
part where he's killing people.

(SIGHS) Drake sent a ship
on a recon mission.

On the way back,
they found a comet.

EDDIE: A comet?

Onboard computers indicated the presence
of life, of millions of organisms.

Wait, wait, wait, when you
say "millions of organisms,"

- what do you mean?
- We brought back some specimens.

You're talking about aliens?

Like, aliens?

(IMITATES E.T.)
E.T. phone home.

Aliens, yeah.

- Yes.
- (DOOR OPENS)

But we don't
call them that.

- We call them Symbiotes.
- Symbiotes?

And they cannot survive in
our environment without help.

Drake believes that the union
between human and Symbiote

is the key to our survival,
but not here on Earth.

Drake is trying to put human
beings and aliens together?

So they can live in space?

We call them hosts.

That's nuts, isn't it?
That's completely insane.

So, why does the human

I don't know. We've given him enough

It's consuming his organs.

Well, Eddie,
you have a parasite.

They're not exactly sure

That would make sense.

Also, I'm hearing,

Oh, hey, Dan.

I didn't realize that
you were on the call, too.

Hey, Dan,
would this parasite...

Would it, like, be able to
make me, I don't know...

really tall tree,

but super, super fast?

VENOM: Yes. We just did.

DAN: Uh, well, Eddie,
it sounds like

it might be causing
some metabolic abnormalities

that are making it hard for your
body to maintain homeostasis.

You said "causing" and "body,"
and... I lost you.

Listen, Eddie, um, we are
gonna get you on some meds,

and we are gonna
clear that out.

Will you stop doing that now.
Not now.

just keep you alive, okay?

VENOM: Aw, that's nice.

(BREATH TREMBLES)

You know, I'm really wet and
cold. Can I, uh, wear this?

ANNE: Yeah, yeah, you can wear
whatever you want.

Thank you.

CARLTON: Hello?

What are you doing here?

Are you lost?

(DISTORTED) I'm not lost.

(CHOKES, SCREAMS)

(DOOR OPENS)

DAN: Thanks for coming in.

- Eddie, I'm sorry.
- EDDIE: What?

Eddie, I got your labs back, and
your heart has atrophied severely.

VENOM: Do not listen to him.
I can fix it.

I don't want you to fix it.

VENOM: I can heal you.

(EDDIE STAMMERS)

Can you fix it?

No. I've never seen
anything like this before.

- This parasite, whatever this is...
- VENOM: "Parasite"?

It's eating you
from the inside.

(WHISPERS) Not a parasite.
He's not.

- You're using him up.
- VENOM: No. She is wrong.

- We need to get you to the ICU.
- Wait. Shh!

- I, Eddie, am I dying?
- VENOM: No!

You're killing him.

VENOM: They do not know
what they are talking about.

DAN: Listen,
we don't have a lot of time...

- Oh, God!
- VENOM: We have to get out of here.

(DAN CHOKING)

- ANNE: Stop!
- Oh, God, he's killing you.

I'm killing you.
I'm so sorry.

(STRAINED GRUNTING)

- EDDIE: No! Don't do that!
- (ELECTRONIC FEEDBACK SQUEALING)

(SCREAMING)

(YELLING)

(DISTORTED SCREAMING)

Are you all right? Eddie, I'm sorry.
I had to get him out of you.

DAN: What is that?

(EDDIE GROANS)

(GLASS THUDS)

You were killing me?

What happened to "we," man?
What happened to "we"?

Yeah, look at you now, huh?
Now you're dying, too.

We're done.

- Where do you think you're going?
- Anywhere other than here.

ANNE: You don't think we have
a little problem on our hands?

Wait, you're not gonna
leave me here with this thing.

You want to tell me
what the hell's going on?

I do. And you're right.
We do need to talk about it,

but I don't know
much more than you do.

I guess he had
no one else to turn to.

He's a very complicated man.
But, Dan, I promise,

there's nothing going on
between me and Eddie.

I'm not talking
about you and Eddie, Anne.

- Oh.
- I'm talking about that.

Dan.

You can kill me,
'cause I'm dying anyway.

I'm not just gonna kill you.
That wouldn't be any fun.

No, no, no. I'm gonna rip your
tongue out of your face.

- (GRUNTS, GROANS)
- Whoo!

(GRUNTS)

Stop. You're bleeding
all over my lab. Go. Go!

(TREECE GRUNTS)

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

- Where is he?
- I don't know.

And you know what? Even if I
did, I wouldn't tell you anyway.

I don't trust you,
and you're insane.

- That hurts.
- Sorry.

Long journal entry
about that tonight.

You're being dumb, Brock.
I'm not insane.

What's insane is the way
humans choose to live today.

Think about it.
All we do is take, take, take.

It can't go on.

We've brought the planet
to the brink of extinction.

We're parasites.
You're a good example.

Think about it.
All you do is take.

You took my Symbiote. You
take potshots at a great man

- trying to get something done.
- Who?

(SIGHS)

Didn't you take from the
person you loved the most,

who trusted you the most?
That's insane.

What I've initiated is a whole
new world, a new species.

Man and Symbiote combined.

Let me tell you something, buddy.
All right? Just man-to-man.

Because I have spent a significant
amount of time, all right,

with one of these creatures
up my ass.

It's not a lot of fun.

And then I find out,
all along,

that they're killing you.

This is the last time
I'm asking you.

- Where is my Symbiote?
- I have no idea.

- Where is he?
- Oh, my God!

Where's Venom?

That is the ugliest-looking
thing I have ever seen.

(ROARS)

You know, Brock,
I have no use for you.

Treece! Come and clean up
your mess.

Whoa, he has one
up his ass, too.

(BREATH TREMBLING)

(PANTING)

Your friends, the others, I apologize.
I tried to keep them alive.

There are more of us.
Millions more.

They will follow
wherever I lead.

Where we lead.

Yes, "we."

But first,
we must retrieve them.

I can take care of that.

Yeah, what you gonna do,
you gonna walk me to death?

Shut up.

(EDDIE SIGHS)

Not so tough
without your friend.

(COCKS PISTOL)

Did your mama not love you?

(GRUNTING)

EDDIE: God damn it!

(GRUNTS)

(INHALES SHARPLY) I guess it
pays to be a specialist, huh?

You know, it doesn't matter
if you kill me anyway,

because there's something
way bigger afoot

in this world than you and me.

Much bigger than me.

And it's much,
much bigger than you.

Karma's a bitch.

I don't believe in karma.

- (CRUNCHING)
- Oh! Ooh!

(GRUNTING)

Hi, Eddie.

Whoa. Whoa...

Oh... (GRUNTING)

EDDIE: Mmm...

Mmm!

(EDDIE MOANING)

(ANNE GRUNTS)

(GASPS SOFTLY)

Oh, no.

I just bit
that guy's head off.

I know, I know. I've been there, too.
It's not fun.

- VENOM: The one with Drake is Riot.
- Who's Riot?

Riot is what you would call
a team leader.

He has an arsenal of weapons.

- Drake's got his own Symbiote.
- VENOM: He is unstoppable.

- Oh, great.
- VENOM: We have got to go!

Go where? Where we going?

- Well, I'm coming with you.
- VENOM: No!

It's going to get ugly.

- Well, she can fight ugly. Trust me.
- Yeah, I can fight ugly.

Not today.

Oh, that's bullshit!

This is not a simulation.

Well, the flight team
aren't prepped yet.

I'll be piloting
the spacecraft.

- You?
- Yes, me.

How long?

We're loading the probe
and running diagnostics.

But even fully automated, you
can't pilot that craft all alone.

I'm not alone.

(GRUNTS) God damn it! What the hell
happened there? We just left Annie.

VENOM: It is not safe for her.

If we do not stop Riot,

he will come back here
with millions more of my kind.

Millions? What, you were
gonna take the rocket,

and you were gonna come back
here with an invasion force?

Then what were you gonna do,
you were gonna go feed

- on a whole planet?
- VENOM: Yes!

But it is
different now, Eddie.

- I have decided to stay.
- Wow!

VENOM: On my planet, I am
kind of a loser, like you.

- But here, we could be more.
- Excuse me?

VENOM: And I'm getting to
like it here.

Oh, you like us now,
do you, huh?

However, there will be nothing left to
like if we do not stop that rocket.

Oh, I see. Right. When it comes
to being completely annihilated,

- then it's back to "we."
- VENOM: It is "we."

Like it or not, it is
going to take both of us.

EDDIE: Hey, come on, man.
Cut the bullshit.

What really made you
change your mind?

You. You did, Eddie.

Scrub diagnostics.

- Sir?
- Did you hear me? Initiate the launch.

EDDIE: Thanks for sticking by me, Annie.
Thanks for saving me.

ANNE: So, how you feeling
after all that?

I feel great. Awesome.

Wow. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I'm thinking of suing, though.
You want to prosecute?

Hmm. You're in luck. I've
decided to work pro bono.

I'm joining
the public defenders' office.

You're a good person, Annie.

What about you?
What are you gonna do?

Uh, the network asked me
to bring the show back,

and they want to start
with a piece on Drake.

Oh, wow, really?
So, what did you say?

Uh, I'm not into it. I want to
concentrate on the written word.

I scored the interview
of a lifetime.

- Oh, yeah? Who?
- You're gonna have to read it.

Oh! Like everyone else.

Yeah.

Hey, I'm sorry about Venom.

Hey, um...

Do you want to talk
about that kiss?

Oh, that? You call that a kiss...
No, that was...

Uh, that was your
buddy's idea.

Oh, right. Well,
that is good to know.

- It did feel kind of great, though.
- What?

I mean, the...

- The power?
- Yeah. When it's, you know...

- Inside you?
- You know what I mean.

Okay.

- Hey, Eddie?
- Mmm-hmm?

We're not gonna
tell Dan about this. Okay?

VENOM: Look at her. She has no
idea we are going to get her back.

No, I don't think so.

- Sorry, what was that?
- We're not gonna tell Dan.

Eddie, is there something
you want to tell me?

- Nope.
- VENOM: You belong with us, Annie.

Eddie, are you sure?

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Good Lord, look at that.

Look at the time.
(STAMMERS) I have to go.

- Hey, it's nice seeing you.
- Yeah.

You take care, all right?

- Yeah, you take care of yourself.
- Bye.

Hey. Don't give up on her.

Either of you.

We won't.

- VENOM: Who is that guy?
- Okay.

VENOM: Wait.
This thing looks delicious.

I have absolutely no problem
with you sticking around,

but if you do, we're gonna have to
have some ground rules, all right?

You cannot just go around eating
anybody that you want to.

- VENOM: I cannot?
- No, you cannot.

All right, we need to...
We need to reiterate this.

There are good people
in this world, a lot of them.

And then there are bad people.

You have to tell
the difference.

The deal is, you will only
ever be allowed to touch,

harm, hurt, possibly,
very possibly,

eat very, very bad people,

but never, ever,
ever good people. All right?

- VENOM: Fine.
- Good.

VENOM: But how does one
tell the difference?

Well, it's super simple.

I mean, you just have to... You
can intuit it, you can sense it.

Sometimes you can
even feel it.

VENOM: Whatever you say.

But can we get something to
eat now?

Otherwise, your liver, it's starting
to look really, really good and juicy.

Yeah. Definitely.
I know a place down here.

- (SHOP BELL JINGLING)
- Hey, Mrs. C.

How you doing, Eddie?

Ain't nothing changed
but the weather. You know.

No.

So, what culinary delights will
tickle the pickle tonight?

VENOM: Tater tots
and chocolate.

Right. Okay, no problem.

(SHOP BELL JINGLES)

MAN: The payment's due, Chen.

MRS. CHEN: Please.
I can't keep doing this.

Now.

- VENOM: Bad guy, right?
- Yep.

(FEET STOMPING)

You come in here again...

In fact, you go anywhere in this
city, preying on innocent people,

and we will find you
and eat both your arms

- and then both of your legs.
- No, no.

And then we will eat your face right
off your head. Do you understand?

- Please...
- Yes.

So, you will be this armless,
legless, faceless thing, won't you,

rolling down the street,
like a turd in the wind?

- Do you feel me?
- What the hell are you?

We are Venom.

- On second thought...
- Please.

(CRUNCHES)

Eddie? What was that?

Oh... (SCOFFS)

I have a parasite. Yeah.
Night, Mrs. Chen.

- VENOM: "Parasite"?
- Yeah.

It's a term of endearment,
that's all.

- VENOM: Apologize!
- EDDIE: No.

- VENOM: Apologize!
- EDDIE: All right, fine.

I'm sorry. So, what do you
want to do now?

VENOM: The way I see it,
we can do whatever we want.

I'd have shut that

Oh, yeah, you know the FBI.
They're just taking advantage

of the one and only time
he'll ever speak to anyone.

They're hoping that I might help them
identify some additional bodies.

FBI don't work up close
and personal with him.

The FBI will have to identify you,
if you don't follow the rules.

I can talk about the Dadaist

I bet you can.
