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!
[BANGING ON WINDOW]

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'Araigne?
- 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]
All right
["HOWLIN' FOR YOU"
BY THE BLACK KEYS PLAYING]
Yeah...
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?
[CYCLING THROUGH STATIONS]
Sausages and brains.
["LET'S CALL
THE WHOLE THING OFF" PLAYING]
VENOM: I say "ee-ther"
And I say "eye-ther"
I say "nee-ther"
Ee-ther, eye-ther
Nee-ther, ny-ther
Let's call
The whole thing off
Ow! Ow, ow. Ouch. Ow.
Po-tah-toes
I like to-may-toes
And I like to-mah-to
Po-tay-toes, po-tah-toes
To-may-toes, to-mah-toes
Let's call
The whole thing off
Cheer up, old pal.
And, oh, if we call
We call the whole thing off
- Then we must part
- [DOG BARKING]
That's for you.
[OVER RADIO]
So if I like pa-jam-as
And you like pa-jah-mas
I'll wear pa-jam-as...
VENOM:
Are you pen pals with an ant?
Whoa, listen to this.
"Dearest pally pal,
"I hereby invite you to witness
"my demise,
"my final moments
"on this spinning shit wheel
that we call Earth."
CLETUS [VOICE-OVER]:
You are responsible
for bringing about the end
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]
...just like it stopped
at my birth.
[FLATLINE BEEPS]
What if Cletus Kasady
- had never been revived?
- [BABY CRYING]
He would never
have pushed Grandma
- down a flight of stairs.
- [SCREAMING]
Bye-bye, Grandma,
you puckered old sphincter.
He would never have thrown
a hair dryer
- into Mother's bathtub.
- [SCREAMING]
- [ELECTRICAL BUZZING]
- [DOG BARKING]
- Yes, Mama, I'm a bad, bad boy.
- [DOG WHIMPERS, DRILL WHIRS]
He would never have been beaten
to the brink of death
by Daddy-o
- and sent to...
- [BELL TOLLING]
St. Estes Home
for Unwanted Children.
[THUNDER CRASHES]
That circus of hell...
[GRUNTING AND GROANING]
[SHRIEKS]
...with one bright light.
Oh, Eddie,
we are all born into this world
through blood and pain.
Every hero has an origin story.
Your friend...
EDDIE [VOICE-OVER]:
"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 fiance.
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 fiance,
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]
- No!
Keep it down up there!
[GRUNTING]
VENOM:
Get out!
[GRUNTS]
[CLATTER, GLASS BREAKING]
- [CLUCKING]
- Sonny?
You wouldn't dare!
Yeah, absolutely.
No, no, no!
- VENOM: Yeah!
- No!
I'm calling the police!
I-I am so sorry.
Show yourself.

REPORTER:
Breaking news.
Serial killer Cletus Kasady
is on the run...
Shit.

manhunt is underway...
- Oh, shit.

- escape from San Quentin Prison.

It is absolutely chaos here.
We have reports

No.
- Can I come in?
- Yeah, sure.
Come on in.
Uh, yeah, I was just seeing
for myself on the news.
Yeah, on a scale
of one to ten, it's 11 bad.
Reports coming
from San Quentin are,
quite frankly, bananas.
Nice TV.
W-Well, how-how did he do it?
- Yeah, how did he, indeed?
- Yeah.
That's the million-dollar
question.
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...
[CLEARS THROAT]
...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...
- Uh-huh.
- ...the day you interviewed him?
Information is currency.
You of all people
should know that.
Come on.
I thought he'd come
to try to find the man
that nearly got him executed,
but I guess not.
I'd lay low if I was you.
I'll see myself out.

Go on, Eddie. What do you got?
Last time I spoke to Kasady,
he was talking to me
about connubial beds
and-and marriage.
And, uh, it didn't make
a whole lot of sense to me,
but, um, I'm here at St. Estes,
and I found this, uh...
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.
FB, that's, uh...
that's Frances Barrison.
Wow. That-that's quick.
Yeah, it's impossible, Eddie.

to witness the execution?" Huh?
Bad things happen around you.
Multiple dead bodies

And now Clyde's found Bonnie,

No. No.
No, I can't tell them

a serial killer

got an alien inside of him.

Don't wait for me

I keep thanking God
For saving me

Peg in a round hole
Like a block of cheese
In a paper towel roll
Rocky Balboa
Never been no towel thrower
Even when I got
Kicked to the curb
Life knocked my dick
In the dirt
I got back up
Flipped it the bird
Till I earned the attention
I yearned, not to mention
I learned how to turn
Resentment and hurt
To an unquenchable thirst
In the simplest terms
It's revenge of the nerd
In every sense of the word
And, rappers, how can we be
On the same level now
When I got to look down
To see these clowns
That are on the ground
Bitch?
I got clouds beneath me
Ever since I put out the EP
To the height of 2003 me
You ain't see the struggle
To make it out the D
Because I made it
Somehow look easy
Now you see me
Standing in the lights
But you never saw

Had to lose it all

But we came for the peace
Misfits in the belly
Of the beast
Get ready for the rally

Don't aim too high

But above clouds we reach
I'm numb to the words
They preach
We listen to
The inner voice leading
Listen to the words
I'm speaking
Always for the people
Till the day I stop breathing
Can't take back
All the time we spent
Trying to make
Deep change in the world

Ain't no doubt
But we show no mercy
So think twice
If you want to get blazed

[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.

No injuries. You fix them.
No hangovers. You mend them.
I couldn't even hurt myself
if I tried.
- [HORN HONKING]

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.

- [BEEPS]

My memory is outstanding.

Consequences.
Every decision you ever make.
Who do we leave behind,

A connubial bed, empty,

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.

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 fiance.
And no wonder Daddy
could never look at you again
after you killed his wife,
your mother,
just by being born.

There's no more...
any words for his victims or...
You know, they're gone.

of outstanding bodies,
we-we've lost forever
and completely.
- VENOM: I 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 fiance,
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.

You couldn't protect anything.
You are useless.

Me? Nothing. Nothing at all.
Nothing about an escape plan?
Nothing about some kind

and I found this, uh...
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.

I'm no use to anybody here.
I'm just wasting your time.
Well, you know
what I keep thinking?
I keep thinking,
"What else is Eddie Brock
"not sharing
about Cletus Kasady?
"Now, why was it Eddie
that Cletus wanted
to witness the execution?" Huh?
Bad things happen around you.
Multiple dead bodies
at your building last year,
that bizarre outburst
at the lobster restaurant,
and only you
at the Life Foundation
when that rocket exploded.
And now Clyde's found Bonnie,
and there's a dead psychiatrist
at a facility
I knew nothing about
until today.
And people are talking
about seeing monsters.
Monsters?
Uh, what-what do you mean...
- what do you mean, "monsters"?
- Monsters, Eddie!
Everywhere Cletus goes,
so goes this supposed monster.
- Oh, God.
- Talk to me, Eddie.

How's he doing it, Eddie?

Eddie asked you to do this?
And he doesn't have anyone else
that can help him?
We're gonna be late
for the party.
He's in trouble, Dan.
Yeah, trouble is his thing.
Are there gonna be
aliens again?
No, of course not.
I'd like to speak to him alone.
Well, your duty of honesty
supersedes
your duty to the client
if somebody gets harmed.
They teach you that
at posh school?
Oh, hey. Anne.
Hey, Anne, thank you so...
thank you so much for coming.
[SIGHS] Boy,
that little guy's a charmer, huh?
How much do I need to worry
about you right now?
Uh, I-I messed up.
Okay. How badly?
Uh, it couldn't be worse,
and it's-it's all on me.
Whatever you did, Eddie,
you just need to tell
the cops the truth.
No. No.
No, I can't tell them
that they are chasing
a serial killer
[WHISPERING] who's also
got an alien inside of him.
And he's capable
of killing everybody.
Venom.
Talk to me. What's happening?
No, he's-he's not here.
He's not here.
Is this, like, an "I'm lying"
"He's not here,"
or is this a real
"He's not here"?
He's not here.

without eating food, right,
so he's eating chicken
and he eats chocolate,
and that's it.
And that is only if he's still
observing the rules.

Okay, I actually
don't have time
to explain why
that's wildly off the mark.
Do you know where Venom is?
You want to break
his heart, too?
I'm not gonna get into
who did what to who.

Oh, don't be a big baby.
Go help your friend.
He said I couldn't
get a job fixing toilets.
Cletus will come for him.
He won't survive without you.
Of course he won't.
Because I am the hero
of the two of us.
Yeah, you're the big sexy hero.
You're the coolest,
you're the hottest,

Nope.

Facepuller faceless
Tape this 'cause you are now
Eye to eye with greatness
Pugilist, you would need
Illusionists to fake this
Yeah, we back again with it
Quieted ten men with it
Eso on my grind
Working with the monster mind
Dotted line and sign, I'm
A killer, I will not be kind
I jeopardize whoever lies
Set aside your beef
Once the weapon's
Weaponized
There'll be bedlam
In the streets
When I put the pen to page
I'm like a Xenophage
On center stage
You hanging by a thread
What a tangled web
Bang your head
I do this by design, so many
Snacks, so little time
Make a move
Your brain is food
And I don't think
That it's a crime, Face
I feel the hype of my stripes
Like a shell toe
Stealth mode, Operation
Violate the Health Code
People talk about me
When I step out fresh
Attitude rude and brazen
Like a raven out the nest
Peasants drop to their knees
Like a Bendel dress
Now take a deep breath
And inhale death, Facepuller
[RECORD SCRATCHING]
Today's special
[ECHOING]
No medulla oblongata
Uh
Ain't nothing common
'Bout sense
Unbelievable
Facepuller
Creeping out the mist
Holographic myth
Who is he?
I plead the Fifth
I complement the bricks
In the Labyrinth of Doom
Put him in the building
He's the baddest in the room
Deploy the decoy, tell
Your boys we coming through
With the deadly melody
We bring the ruckus like Wu
Yo, when I apply pressure
I take measures
That are drastic
My vision board's filled with
Ninja swords and that's it
You're plastic
Well, I'm real
The author
With the best to offer
Step out of a flying saucer
Reciting Geoffrey Chaucer
This is a poetry moment
The only opponent
Is the voice from within
The vertigo brings the spin
Well, rappers say
They're moving bricks
Like animated Lego
But wait, though
False claims
Don't make your gang fuego
