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.

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.

But it's OK. - OK, um, 24 ` that's still extremely young, all right, you create (IMITATES EXPLOSION) the Life Foundation! - It didn't happen overnight. - And then... (IMITATES ROCKET) 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 realise that ambition, I suppose. - Of course. Full circle. - Yeah. - 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.

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 rumours online. There's a lot of fake news out there these days. - Right.

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.

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.

Thanks for saving me. - 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. - OK. - Hey, Eddie? - Mmm-hmm? - We're not gonna tell Dan about this. OK? - 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. STUTTERS: I have to go. - Hey, it's nice seeing you, Anne. - Yeah. - You take care, all right? Bye. - Yeah, you take care of yourself. - Hey. Don't give up on her. Either of you. - We won't. - VENOM: Who is that guy? - OK. - 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 JINGLES) - 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. OK, 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. (SINISTER MUSIC) - 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. 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? - EDDIE AND VENOM: We are Venom. - VENOM: On second thought... - Please. (CRUNCHES) (SINISTER MUSIC SWELLS) - 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: Apologise! - No. - VENOM: Apologise! - 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.

(INDISTINCT RT CHATTER) - You ask me, they're dumb to let him call the shots. Second he asked for you to interview him, I'd have shut that shit down. - 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 got a visitor for you. - Hi, Eddie. - Hey. - Do you mind if we forego the whole creepy serial killer thing here? - Sure, it's good with me. - I mean, I can turn it on if you want. I can talk about the Dadaist patterns of arterial spray. - I bet you can. - Tough to see you in this light, Eddie. Come on over. - All right.
