HEADMASTER:

Lights out!

WOMAN:

Cletus, are you there?

CLETUS:

My angel.

This is for you.

What did the doctor say?

He said the mutations

are advancing.

My powers are too strong.

Cletus, I'm scared.

CLETUS:

It's gonna be okay.

They're coming to take me away.

[VOICE SHAKING]

They're sending me to a place

where there are others like me.

They can't do that.

[BREATH TREMBLING]

They can't take you from me.

You're my one bright light.

I will always love you!

CLETUS:

Frances!

[GRUNTS]

FRANCES [GRUNTING]:

Get off!

Frances!

CLETUS: No! No!

DR. PAZZO: Your old

boyfriend's finally getting

what he deserves.

And the world will be

a safer place without him.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

EDDIE: Detective Mulligan,

with all due respect,

I don't want anything to do

with Cletus Kasady.

MULLIGAN: Well, that's too bad,

because he only wants to see you.

Though, in my opinion, you had

your chance with Kasady

and you blew it.

Right, um, so...

what does he want?

Maybe he wants

to spill the beans

about where the missing bodies

are buried.

So you're gonna have to do

the right thing for a change.

[GRUNTS SOFTLY]

[VENOM SNARLS]

VENOM:

No!

Take your tiny hands off of me!

We should be out there

protecting the city lethally!

- [VENOM SNARLS]

- [CLATTERING]

[SNARLS]

What was that?

Unhand me!

Man should never

consent to crawl

when he has

the impulse to fly.

You are a bottom-feeder.

[WHISPERS]

Be quiet.

How many times have I told you

that I want you to hide

yourself when I am working?

I am serious. It is important.

You have to show me respect.

- Respect? Respect?

- Yes. Yes.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Kasady gonna give you

the scoop, right?

- Right.

- Wrong.

- What do you mean?

- Because you blow everything.

Oh, okay, I see.

You're talking

about Anne again.

I miss her!

I will do it.

I don't like you.

VENOM:

Let me eat him!

You do not deserve nice things.

[GRUNTS]

[♪♪♪]

CLETUS:

Welcome back, Eddie Brock.

I've been thinking about you.

What do you want, Cletus?

I mean, why am I here?

Do a man who's buried alive

a kindness, won't you?

Get a message out to all my...

fans.

And in return,

I'll give you my life.

What?

Story.

I heard the written word

hasn't been working out

so well.

Piece like this,

an exclusive...

[CLEARS THROAT]

...would put you back on top.

Go on.

People love...

serial killers.

All my secrets laid bare,

Eddie.

So much carnage.

But why me?

[LAUGHS]

I like you.

All right, it's a deal.

[CLEARS THROAT]

What's your message?

[PAPER RUSTLING]

That distant cathedral

- is all I see...

- Mm-hmm.

...fractured angel

the other part of me.

Print that in your column.

Is that it? This, um...

Who's gonna...

Who's gonna read that,

some random haiku?

Print it,

and what's mine is yours.

Wow, lucky me.

Goodbye, Eddie.

Thank you.

Thank you.

VENOM:

What a dick.

Eddie, look. Look.

EDDIE [WHISPERS]:

What are you doing?

VENOM:

Your job for you.

CLETUS:

Eddie.

Don't forget me, Eddie.

[COUGHS, SNIFFS]

What did you get?

Uh, I got a headache

and probably got tuberculosis.

What? A little louder.

[CHUCKLES]

He read me poetry, man.

Is this some kind of joke

to you, Eddie?

Because I'm not laughing.

VENOM: Yeah,

you could do with a laugh.

Come on, man.

These things, they just take

a little time, all right?

Well, the second

he gives you something...

Of course.

Keep me ahead of the curve,

Eddie.

- Don't embarrass me.

- All right.

- [ENGINE STARTS]

- Do you understand?

EDDIE:

Trust me, the only scoop

I'm getting today

is double chocolate chip.

VENOM:

No! I get brain freeze.

[ENGINE REVS, TIRE SQUEALS]

VENOM:

Come here.

Look.

- I'm looking.

- Grab those.

All right.

Whoa. Okay.

[GRUNTING]

VENOM:

Now, what do you think?

- I think I'm Pablo Picasso.

- No!

- Okay.

- Come here. Look.

[GRUNTING RAPIDLY]

- Well, say what you see.

- Uh, it's a house.

VENOM:

Never mind.

Oh, I know this one.

- It's a tree.

- Idiot.

Sit down.

Now, pay attention.

[♪♪♪]

VENOM:

Bingo.

Holy cow.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

REPORTER: Would you say your

friendship with Cletus Kasady

is what allowed you to solve

this decades-old mystery?

You are the only person

from the outside world

he's spoken with.

Seems he likes you.

Well, you know,

he's a serial killer.

I don't see how

he can like anyone.

REPORTER [VOICE-OVER]:

Brock was able to uncover

what the FBI and police

could not.

Bowing to public outrage,

the governor of California

has overturned his moratorium

and reinstated

the death penalty for Kasady.

[SHRIEKING]

[YELLING]

Brock's career has been given

a much-needed revival,

putting him back on top

once more.

[ENGINE REVVING]

[NEWS THEME PLAYS]

REPORTER 2: A harrowing story

finally comes to an end.

Vindication for the victims

and closure for the families.

Thanks to the diligence

of one man.

- Thank you, Eddie Brock.

- VENOM: And Venom.

You know,

this could be us, Eddie.

Going out there, solving cases,

fighting bad guys.

Maybe I eat them, hmm?

And then we save the day.

EDDIE: But we saved the day.

It's done.

[YELLS]

You said I could eat bad guys!

- [SNARLING]

- This again?

I need to be free,

feeling the wind in my hair

and the sand between my toes.

You don't have any hair.

You are not listening to me.

Oh, I'm listening.

I cannot live

like this anymore.

- I'm starving.

- So eat those guys.

- VENOM: I can't.

- [CHICKENS CLUCKING]

Sonny and Cher

are best friends.

EDDIE: Are you serious?

That's ridiculous. That's what...

[YELLS, GROANS]

Man, that was abusive.

That was abuse.

[GRUNTS]

And that's a $2,000 TV.

You have got to get control

of your aggression.

That is why we have Snookie!

I cannot live on chicken

and chocolate alone.

I need brains.

Chickens have brains.

I most passionately disagree.

Look.

Look at those poor idiots.

[CHICKENS CLUCKING]

Small brains.

Come on, man, it's not

their fault that you, uh...

you live on

the old phenylethyla...

- laphenylethylan.

- Phenylethylalanine.

Yeah, I just...

I just said that.

I've told you a thousand times,

- because it is only found...

- Yeah?

- ...in brains and in chocolate.

- And in chocolate.

That's right. All right,

well, how about this?

You live in my body,

you live by my rules.

- I live in your body because...

- Why?

...unfortunately,

I don't have many options.

Well, how about this, son?

The FBI is still

investigating us

for all of that stuff that

"we were involved with,"

so if one more head

goes missing,

we will get hauled off

into Area 51.

They will kill us both.

So somebody has to be

responsible.

Responsibility...

it's for the mediocre.

- Food!

- Can you stop doing that?

- Food! Food!

- Please just stop doing that now.

- Come on, stop doing that.

- Food!

- I have a deadline! Will you...

- Food...!

Goddamn it! Fine!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[BELL JINGLES]

- Good evening, Eddie.

- Hey, Mrs. Chen.

- Good evening, Venom.

- [VENOM SPEAKS MANDARIN]

EDDIE:

He says hi. Oh.

MRS. CHEN:

Chocolate hasn't arrived yet.

- VENOM: No!

- Oh, no. We have a deal.

What's gonna happen?

You gonna stop protecting me?

I don't think so.

I've been keeping

my mouth shut,

- feeding your little secret.

- Wow.

Little old Mrs. Chen is

a little old blackmailer, huh?

Less of the old. I am 39.

- VENOM: And I am Barry Manilow.

- Right.

VENOM:

I am happy to eat Mrs. Chen.

No, no, you cannot eat

Mrs. Chen.

- What?

- Well, I guess it's gonna have to be plan B.

What's plan B?

- Aah! Not this again!

- [CHICKENS CLUCKING]

I need human brains to survive.

EDDIE: Uh-uh.

Now, pick up some chickens, man.

Let's go.

[GROANS]

[CHICKENS SCREECHING]

[GRUNTING]

[WHEEZING, COUGHING]

I'm done with this grossness.

Look at all the amazing things

that we can do.

We are wasting our talent.

[WOMAN WHIMPERING, GRUNTING]

Bad guy.

- VENOM: Hello, kitty.

- [GASPING, WHIMPERING]

EDDIE:

Leave him. Leave him be.

- Leave him be! Leave him be!

- [SCREAMING]

- I shall remove your head.

- EDDIE: No, you won't.

- I will use it for bowling!

- No, you will not.

VENOM:

I will take it to...

What is the one

that we like, Eddie?

EDDIE:

It's Lucky Strike.

- Yes! Lucky Strike!

- EDDIE: Put him down!

I will take you

to Lucky Strike,

and I will score

a 300-point game.

- EDDIE: You won't.

- The rest of your pudgy little

- boy body will be left here...

- [MUGGER WHIMPERING]

...rolling around

in dumpster juice.

- EDDIE: Oh, God.

- [SNARLS]

No! Put him down!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

- no, no, no, no, no, no!

- [SCREAMING]

EDDIE:

No!

VENOM:

Fine!

EDDIE:

She didn't want our help.

She did not know

she needed our help, Eddie.

There is a difference.

[PHONE RINGING]

VENOM:

It is Anne.

- Anne is on the phone, Eddie!

- [EDDIE GASPS, WHIMPERS]

Hey, Anne.

ANNE:

Hey, E-Eddie. Hi.

- Hi.

- VENOM: Be nice to her.

ANNE:

You sound out of breath.

I'm-I'm not catching you

at a bad time, am I?

No, no, not at all.

I'm just, uh...

- I'm just hanging around.

- Okay.

Uh, I'm-I'm sorry

I haven't returned your calls.

I guess...

I just needed a little space

after the whole...

alien biting a guy's

head off thing, so...

VENOM:

Ah, the good old days.

Anyway, so I have some news,

and-and I was wondering

if we could meet.

- VENOM: Yes!

- Yeah, sure, that would be, uh...

That would be fine. Great.

Okay, great.

Uh, how's tomorrow night?

Tomorrow night? Yeah, great.

- 8:00?

- L'Araignée?

- Okay, great.

- Looking forward to it.

Oh... Yeah, okay.

Me, too. Bye.

Great.

VENOM:

It's over with the doctor!

That is the voice of a woman

- who just got brutally dumped.

- [WHIMPERS]

["HOWLIN' FOR YOU"

BY THE BLACK KEYS PLAYING]

Stop.

VENOM: Don't you want

to look your best?

Just leave me alone.

You are always nitpicking.

[QUIET CHATTER]

Wow.

[LAUGHING]

Hey.

Hey.

- [LAUGHING] Okay. Hi.

- Yeah.

Wow.

VENOM:

Awkward.

So, uh, h-how's it going?

How's, uh...

- How's Mr. Belvedere? Yeah.

- Uh, good, good.

You know, he's still wiping

his ass on the carpet.

- He learned that from you.

- [CHUCKLES]

Yeah, how-how's, uh...

how's the legal aid work going?

Well, you know how much

I love an underdog, so...

Yeah. Yeah, that's why you...

put up with me

for so long, huh?

You said it.

- S-So...

- So...

VENOM:

So?

I don't know, I-I thought

it would be better

to tell you in person that...

Uh-huh.

VENOM:

No!

Wow. Oh, Anne.

Wow, that is, uh...

that is so much bigger

than the...

the one that I got you.

VENOM:

Ugh, it's gaudy.

That's Dan, right?

Doc-Doctor Dan.

Yeah, that... it's Dan.

Holy shit, Anne. Way to go.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

- VENOM: Well, I am not okay.

- Yeah.

You could just say,

"Congratulations.

I'm happy for you."

You know, like two people

who still care enough

about each other to lie

so that the other one doesn't

feel like complete shit. I...

Maybe we could do

that version of this?

No, I am...

I am happy for you, Anne.

- You know, I'm, uh...

- VENOM: No.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

VENOM:

That was going to be us, Eddie.

I, for one, would not

be inconsolable

if Dan were to fall

into traffic

and lose his head and his feet

- and all of his teeth!

- What?

What was that?

What? Nothing.

Whoa.

If I ask you a question,

do you have the ability

to tell me the truth?

You mean as in being

super happy for you

because of your engagement?

Because, I mean,

you just told me to lie,

so that's really,

really confusing.

Is Venom with you?

He's dead.

VENOM: I am.

I'm playing dead right now.

Yeah, I mean, he...

- Right.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Well, that's...

You just don't change, do you?

What are you talking about?

This is just a...

It's a huge shock.

Um, I'm in...

Anne, I'm in love with you.

This is a lot to process.

No, the truth is you don't

love anybody. You can't.

Commitment's just not

your thing.

All right, then, fine.

Do not marry Dan.

- Dan makes me feel safe.

- Ugh.

Okay, and you made me feel

like I was on a roller coaster.

And sometimes you just

have to know when to get off.

- Yeah, and not yak.

- VENOM: And not yak!

You know, not yak.

Yak.

ANNE:

Hey, Venom.

Take care of him, all right?

Don't let him keep

messing everything up.

VENOM: I'm going to make you cry

now, Eddie.

She will love it.

Cry. Cry.

It's a lot to process.

[GRUNTS]

Congratulations, Anne.

It's great news.

[HORN HONKING]

[TIRES SQUEAL]

VENOM:

Slow down, pal.

EDDIE:

Why?

You don't believe

in consequences.

No injuries. You fix them.

No hangovers. You mend them.

I couldn't even hurt myself

if I tried.

- [HORN HONKING]

- [TIRES SQUEALING]

VENOM: Eddie, I apologize

that I can't mend the heart.

Emotional pain,

it hits much harder,

and it lasts longer.

You just need to pull up

your big-boy pants and take it.

Yeah, well, that's easy

for you to say.

Why?

Because I'm a real boy

and you're just an amoeba.

VENOM:

I will only take that

because we are hurting

right now.

[ENGINE RUMBLING]

Don't worry, buddy.

I will get you through this.

Do you know what always

cheers me up

in the morning, Eddie?

of Cletus Kasady.

It's only right that you hold

the door for me on my way out.

- They'll stop my heart...

- [HEART BEATING, MONITOR BEEPS]

at my birth.

- had never been revived?

- [BABY CRYING]

He would never

He would never have thrown

"Cletus Kasady."

Kiss, hug, kiss, hug.

Smiley face.

Ew.

VENOM:

Nutjob.

You know, I-I should be there.

Uh, no, it's a bad idea.

I mean, I-I-I put him there.

Actually, he put himself there

when he decided to be

a complete lunatic.

Ta-da!

You know, it would be nice

just to have your support

just... I mean, just for once.

- Catsup?

- You know what I mean?

VENOM: This place is an

all-you-can-eat buffet.

Who's going to care

if I polish off

a couple of these idiots?

EDDIE: You can't be sure who is

and who is not guilty, buddy.

- VENOM: They're in prison!

- EDDIE: Yeah, but, you know,

some people take

false confessions.

They, uh... you know,

they take pleas.

We watched Making a Murderer.

You all right?

Yeah, man, I'm just practicing.

VENOM:

I am a predator, Eddie.

- Mm-hmm.

- Lions do not eat salad.

Yeah, but you're not a lion,

are you?

I mean, I see you

more of a vexatious little

pig, dog, house bat thing.

That's fine.

- VENOM: You suck.

- You suck!

- Excuse me?

- EDDIE: Yeah, wow.

I don't have

an explanation for that.

I think I just... I'm having

a panic attack, um...

Yeah, I'll sign here.

Stand two feet away

from the bars.

No touching the condemned.

Understood.

- Visitor's here.

- [DOOR OPENS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

This is a "me" thing,

not a "we" thing.

VENOM:

Everything is a "you" thing.

CLETUS: Oh, happy day for

you, Eddie Brock.

- [EDDIE SNIFFS]

- Mm, what a scoop.

The end of the Magical...

Misery Tour.

I worry for your soul.

How will you live

with the weight

of snuffing out a man's life?

I was, uh... I was hoping

maybe you could give me

a couple pointers.

[LAUGHING]

Funny little guy, aren't you?

- [BEEPS]

- VENOM: Don't need that.

My memory is outstanding.

Rude.

Consequences.

Every decision you ever make.

Who do we leave behind,

and how do we leave them?

A connubial bed, empty,

waiting in the darkness

for the rescuer

who never comes.

Because of you.

VENOM:

This guy makes zero sense.

You and I are the same.

No. No, we're not.

Twisted insides, mean daddies.

You feel like home to me,

Eddie, like family.

And really, truly,

that is all I ever wanted

in this world.

Family.

Well, killing your grandmother

and your mother

sure is a funny way

of showing it.

Anything you want to unburden

yourself with before...

...um, this happens?

Yes.

I have wishes

to bestow upon you.

VENOM:

Oh, that is kind.

I want to wish you...

this heartbreak.

VENOM:

Uh-oh. Too late.

I wish for you

to see out your days alone,

as you always have been.

VENOM:

Watch it, pal.

Wh-Where are you going

with this?

You are a cancer

to everyone

who ever loved you, Eddie.

Deceived your trusting fiancée.

And no wonder Daddy

could never look at you again

after you killed his wife,

your mother,

just by being born.

VENOM:

You son of a bitch!

No, no! No, no, no, don't!

Don't!

VENOM: Speak to my friend

again like that... I dare you!

[SCREAMING]

- Hey, hey!

- [GRUNTING]

No touching the inmate.

Hey, back up!

Eddie?

You're done.

I have tasted blood before,

my friend, and that is not it.

Eddie Brock has a big secret.

Shut up, Kasady!

[♪♪♪]

VENOM:

That may have been a mistake.

EDDIE:

Shut up.

Hey, aren't you Eddie Brock?

I don't know anymore.

VENOM:

Eddie!

EDDIE: I don't want to hear

another word out your mouth.

- VENOM: Eddie.

- I don't want to hear it.

VENOM:

Eddie, I am sorry.

EDDIE: That was his last

time on record ever.

There's no more...

any words for his victims or...

You know, they're gone.

Any clues

of outstanding bodies,

we-we've lost forever

and completely.

- VENOM: I didn't mean to.

- [BLOWS NOSE]

- You didn't mean to?

- And I said I'm sorry.

You didn't mean to,

but you did it.

I mean, you just decided...

I don't know.

[BABBLES]

That's it, you did it.

You know,

you didn't even think

that we might get caught,

we might get killed?

No, you don't think about

things like that, do you?

You just think about chickens,

you think about you,

you think about what you want,

and you think about you.

Let me remind you

of something, Eddie.

You were a loser

before I came along.

You were nothing.

I made you special.

Oh, you made me special, huh?

Well, let me tell you

something, right?

Before you came along,

I had a life.

I didn't have chickens,

all right? But I had dreams.

Yeah, I had dreams,

and I had a fiancée,

and I had a really successful

TV show!

Ah, but you destroyed all

of those things by yourself.

Yeah, but you know what?

I rebuilt my life,

and now I just want to live it.

Good night.

And how did you build

this new life?

- Hmm?

- Excuse me?

Well, who found the clue

on the wall

so you could be

this big, shiny hero?

Hmm? Who found the clue?

- Who?

- Wow.

Yeah.

No, no, no.

This is not about

being a hero for me, man.

This is about wanting

to live in peace.

D-Do you understand

what I'm talking about?

No, you don't.

You don't understand

what I'm talking about.

Okay, this is about me

wanting to live

without you whining

in my ear all the time

about eating bad guys

or, like, nagging me about Anne

or destroying my place

or destroying my life!

Do you know how lucky you are

that I chose you?

You chose me?

Buddy, I'm the only person

that took you in

when your friends kicked you

off the planet Ming Mong

'cause you are a reject!

You are a pariah.

Lethal protection, my ass.

You couldn't protect anything.

You are useless.

You couldn't get a job

down here cleaning toilets!

- [WHIMPERING IN PAIN]

- I'm sorry.

I don't know what came over me.

- Please, let me fix it.

- [BABBLES]

So I can break it again!

[SQUEALS IN PAIN]

You son of a bitch.

[GRUNTING, YELLING]

- [GROANS]

- Out!

Get out.

Take your stuff. Get out!

This is my house.

- [CLATTERING]

Serial killer Cletus Kasady

W-Well, how-how did he do it?

That's the million-dollar

And yet again, you were

his special visitor.

So, what did he tell you?

Me? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Nothing about an escape plan?

Nothing about some kind

of elaborate breakout costume?

No.

Well, how come, every time,

you seem to be at the center

of these things

and then miraculously

you know nothing about it?

Maybe I'm lucky.

Yeah, right.

You-you said, um...

...the reports coming out

of San Quentin are bananas?

What-what do...

what do you mean by "bananas"?

Remember when I asked you

a similar question...

Information is currency.

You of all people

should know that.

Come on.

I thought he'd come

Last time I spoke to Kasady,

he was talking to me

Well, I'm standing

in front of a... of a...

of a tree,

and I'm-I'm looking at it.

It's, uh...

it's got a carving on it.

It says "CK loves FB."

I'm thinking that maybe

whoever this FB is

might know where he's headed.

And, uh... a-and if you can,

I don't know,

pull up some files

from St. Estes,

maybe you can figure out

who this FB is.

Well, I'm listening now.

I wanted your friendship.

I'm sorry, Cletus.

Fuck this guy.

You in there,

Hey, Anne.

Take care.

Yeah, you, too, champ.

VENOM:

Dan!

You take care, too.

Thanks.

I like you.

We totally

didn't need him, though.

Honestly, I think he was more

of a hindrance than a help.

Monsters.

That there is Don Quixote,

and the guy next to him

is, uh, S-Sancho Panza.

They're two

very different people

who have very different takes

on the world.

D-Different ways

of doing things.

Sometimes they didn't like

each other a whole lot,

but ultimately...

they worked together to bring

out the best in each other.

VENOM:

Eddie, the time has come.

I must go alone.

It is me they want.

Yeah.

Well, my dear Sancho,

facts are the enemy of truth.

VENOM:

What does that even mean?

It means...

It means that we are...

- frien...

- VENOM: Fugitives!

Um, yeah. Yeah.

- On the run.

for bringing me here.

Yeah, you're welcome, buddy.

- It's beautiful, huh?

- Mm-hmm.

EDDIE: I'm sorry that we can't

do anything about the old

"wind in your hair"

situation, but...

Osho says,

when you love someone,

- you accept the whole person...

- Osho?

...with all of their defects.

"Defects." Hmm.

Nobody is perfect.

Just go back.

Go back a minute.

You telling me...

you just said that you love me.

- Um...

- You did.

Where will we go?

I don't know. I don't know.

Anywhere that needs

a Lethal Protector, I suppose.

Oh! You really meant it!

Yeah.

We will need a cape

and a mask.

No.

No, I think you got

that covered. We're good.
