Venom The Last Dance

[CREATURES SQUEALING]

[HISSING, SNARLING]

I am Knull.

God of the void.

[ECHOING] Slicer of worlds.

Long ago, when light invaded my kingdom, my symbiote children betrayed me and imprisoned me here.

At last, a codex has been created.

It is the key to my freedom.

It will unlock this prison.

I order you to search the corners of the universe until you find this key.

Find me the codex.

[SNARLING]

[RHYTHMIC WHIRRING]

[HISSING]

And when I escape and annihilate every living planet and destroy my symbiote offspring,

I will reward you with your lives.

[SHRIEKING]

[“BAILANDO CUMBIA” BY DANNY OSUNA PLAYING]

EDDIE: So you’re saying in this universe, there’s these superhero people.

All right.

So tell me again about your purple alien friend who really loves stones.

‘Cause I’ll tell you what, man, aliens, they do not love stones.

VENOM: Eddie, don’t start.

No, no.

They do not love stones.

Do you know what they love?

They love eating brains!

Because that’s what they do.

Senor, he made my family disappear.

For five years.

Mm.

Well, five years, huh?

BARMAN: Sí.

Well, that is a long time.

All right.

VENOM: Eddie!

We are drunk.

[GRUNTS, WHIMPERS]

[WHOOSHING]

[EDDIE SCREAMING]

VENOM: We’re home!

I’m so done with the multiverse shit.

And I like our version of the barman better.

Ow.

My head hurts.

I feel like I’m drunk

but I’m also hungover at the same time.

VENOM: Eddie!

You want a Bloody María.

Oh, yeah!

[“TEQUILA” BY THE CHAMPS PLAYING]

[VENOM VOCALIZING]

No.

EDDIE: I don’t want a drink.

[VENOM VOCALIZING]

Ay, Dios mío.

EDDIE: Stop! You are destroying this man’s bar.

[VENOM IMITATES CHIMPANZEE]

[VENOM VOCALIZES, SHOUTS]

VENOM: Tequila!

I’m having the time of my life, Eddie!

I’d rather have a glass of water.

VENOM: Be a man, Eddie!

We should’ve been a bartender.

VENOM: Tequila!

EDDIE: I did it.

VENOM: I did it.

BARMAN: Senor?

What the hell were those things?

I was born with them.

Freaking bar. I’m done with this shit.

[EDDIE GROANS]

[NEWS THEME PLAYS OVER TV]

[OVER TV] This is Keli Reule

reporting from San Francisco.

Police are still trying to locate former reporter

Eddie Brock for questioning…

Oh, no.

…after the tragic death of Detective Patrick Mulligan.

No.

ROULET: Detective Mulligan was found impaled

amidst a series of bizarre happenings

at the city’s cathedral.

They think that I killed him.

How long can he evade authorities?

Only time will tell.

VENOM: If we are on the news here,

we are on the news everywhere.

Well, we can’t go back to San Francisco.

And I’m not staying down here,

hiding for the rest of my life in Mexico.

That’s for sure.

VENOM: Where will we go?

I don’t know. II don’t know.

Ooh.

That could work. Hey.

This judge got me kicked out of New York.

VENOM: What a dick!

Yeah.

I still got a ton of shit on him, too.

VENOM: I’ve always wanted to see the Statue of Liberty.

Maybe we could blackmail him…

and clear my name.

VENOM: Let’s go!

Road trip!

EDDIE: Let’s get the hell out of here.

VENOM: Keep the change!

[BREATHING HEAVILY, GROANING]

EDDIE: We keep our heads down, and we keep moving.

VENOM: We are fugitives.

We are on the run.

Yes, we are innocent, yes,

but I will eat every bad guy that gets in our way.

I need a Tylenol.

[GROANS]

[ELECTRICAL CRACKLING, WARBLING]

[DISTANT HOWLING]

Do you hear that?

VENOM: Hmm.

[QUIET CHATTER IN SPANISH]

[DISTANT SCREAMING]

VENOM: Someone’s in trouble.

And I need fuel for the road.

Yeah, okay.

[STATIC CRACKLING, HUMMING]

[FIRE CRACKLING]

[ELECTRICAL BUZZING]

[DISTANT HOWLING]

[DISTANT BANGING]

[SCREAMING]

VENOM: That way.

[RODENTS SQUEAKING]

[ELECTRICAL CRACKLING]

VENOM: Bad men, Eddie.

Are we the Lethal Protector or not?

Do your thing.

VENOM: Easypeasy.

[GRUNTS]

[DOOR CREAKING]

Jesus.

[DOGS BARKING, WHINING]

[WHIMPERING]

VENOM: Cute!

I promise not to eat it.

They’re fighting dogs.

VENOM: I draw the line at fighting dogs, pal.

[MAN WHISTLES TAUNTINGLY]

MAN: Qué haces aquí, pendejo?

Oye, vato. You’re in the wrong place.

Oh, hello.

This is our territory.

EDDIE: Well, I assume

by the threatening look on your faces that I, uh…

I ought to be scared, right?

[CHUCKLES]

Pues you took the wrong path, hermano.

We can’t let you leave.

I have a headache,

on account of the fact that I was drinking a lot.

I’m gonna be honest.

I have a really dark and unpredictable side to me.

We all have monsters inside us.

Not like this.

So dark that it is highly likely

to tear your head off and feed it to your asshole.

[LAUGHING]

VENOM: Or me!

You can feed it to me.

Yeah, or I can feed it to him.

[GUNS COCKING]

Yeah.

All right, look. Whoa, whoa. Come on. I got a suggestion.

No. Stop speaking.

I’m not gonna stop speaking.

This is for you.

I’m doing this for your benefit, all right?

I don’t have to, okay? So pay attention.

We’re gonna find all of these dogs loving forever homes

because what you’re doing

is reprehensible.

[CHUCKLES]

And what does your mother think of you, man?

My mother’s dead, culero.

VENOM: You made it awkward.

I’m sorry to hear that.

Calla!

Ah?

Parto la madre.

Ah?

Entiendes?

I’m giving you a chance.

Ah.

Sweetie, II really am giving you a chance.

You should probably take it.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Sí?

Sí.

[CHUCKLES] Quién?

VENOM: Say when.

When.

[GRUNTS]

[“HOLD THE LINE” BY TOM MORELLO FEAT. GRANDSON PLAYING]

Hola , bitches.

[SNARLING]

[YELLING, GROANING]

[BARKING]

[VENOM GROWLS, SNARLS]

[SCREAMS]

Who’s a bad boy?

[GUNSHOTS]

[SCREAMING]

[VENOM SNARLS, CHITTERS]

VENOM: Now, that’s some sturdy footwear.

[SCREAMS]

[GASPS]

Where you going?

[WHIMPERS]

Home. [CHUCKLES]

Nah.

[YELPS]

[VENOM SNARLING]

[MEN GROANING, WHIMPERING]

[VOICE SHAKING] What… are you?

We are…

We’re Venom!

We are…

Venom!

No.

Oh.

Yeah, we… are Venom.

We are Venom.

[GASPS] What?

[WHISPERS] We’re totally gonna need to work on that.

[SNARLS]

[SNARLS]

[BARKING]

VENOM: Mm, mm! That was delicious!

You’re welcome.

Thank you.

VENOM: You take me to all the finest places.

Let’s get the hell out of here.

Where’s my shoe?

[DOG WHIMPERING]

Oh, hey, buddy.

That’s my shoe. That’s my shoe.

That’s my shoe.

Give me my shoe.

[SHOE SNAPS]

[GASPS]

[WHIMPERS]

[DOGS BARKING]

VENOM: These will fit.

Now we are on the run.

For something we actually did do.

And I got stuck with a superhero who can’t fly.

VENOM: Want to bet?

[GROWLING SOFTLY]

MAN: There you are.

Get me General Strickland.

[GRUNTS SOFTLY]

What the…

[GRUNTS SOFTLY]

[DEVICE WHIRRING]

Viral shedding.

These things want to live.

Hola.

Hola.

Tell me about the man who was just here.

He was acting, like, crazy, talking to himself.

What was he saying?

Hehe had these big, massive, wild arms.

They were bobbling like this.

[CHUCKLES]

Bring him.

[ELECTRICAL CRACKLING]

[GROANING]

[INSECTS TRILLING]

GIRL: You think there are another

brother and sister on one of those stars…

…looking at the same sky?

I’ll be able to tell you one day.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

My twin brother,

a future NASA scientist.

One day.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

When thunder roars, head indoors.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[CRIES OUT]

[GASPS]

No!

[GASPS]

[PHONE CHIMES]

[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

MAN: He’s on life support.

Get him to emergency symbiosis now.

[HEART MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY]

It should be you.

REPORTER: [OVER RADIO] This just came across our news desk

and it bears repeating.

For all you alien enthusiasts out there, it’s a sad day.

Washington has finally announced

the decommissioning of Area 51.

The controversial site is famous

for its alleged testing on aliens.

In other news today…

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENTS OVER P.A.]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[TIRES SQUEAL]

Strickland.

AUTOMATED VOICE: Strickland authorized.

[BUSY CHATTER IN DISTANCE]

It’s finally happening, then.

[SOFTLY] Yeah.

Yes, ma’am.

Be nothing left but rock and dust.

And roaches.

Even the biggest of bangs couldn’t kill ’em.

They’ve been around 280 million years and counting.

I did not know that, Dr. Paine.

[CHUCKLES]

Good to go.

Have a good one, Gus.

You, too.

Thank you.

SOLDIER: Yes, ma’am.

WOMAN: [OVER P.A.] Dr. Kendall, report to trans bay three.

Dr. Kendall, report to transportation bay three.

Morning, Dr. Paine. We’ll keep ’em safe for you.

I still don’t think anyone wants my old beater, Jim.

Never judge a book by its cover.

[PAINE LAUGHS]

MAN: [OVER P.A.] Reminder:

This facility is now under heightened security protocol.

Early morning wakeup, General Strickland.

Looks like all your dreams came true.

[CLICKS TONGUE] I know how that must bug you.

[STRICKLAND LAUGHS]

He arrived shortly before you did.

Did our new friend give him any trouble?

You see, that’s exactly the problem.

What?

Your assumption we’re meeting friends.

Morning.

WOMAN: Good morning.

[GRUNTS EXCITEDLY]

The bonding was successful.

I heard.

[GRUNTS]

You always have this look on your face

like something terrible is imminent.

Because in my line of work,

something terrible is always imminent.

We contain them, you study them.

It’s how it works.

[BUSY CHATTER]

PAINE: Let’s have a look.

Hello, Doctor.

Morning.

PAINE: His other symbiote left him for dead.

[HEART MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY]

We saved him.

He would have died.

PAINE: Oh, try lowering those levels.

Morning, Sadie.

SADIE: Let me get that.

FORREST: We got this down in Mexico.

Hi. Welcome.

Any more on where the rest of him is?

We’re getting there.

Update me as you have it.

I don’t get this obsession.

I told you my mom made me this pin.

It’s July.

I’ll see you in there.

PAINE: Mmhmm.

Everyone on this side is weird.

Leave her alone, Rex.

God forbid anyone should actually enjoy their work.

[CLICKING]

[RUMBLING]

Area 51 will be fully decommissioned

by the end of the week.

It’s just a shipwreck anyway,

and they’re tired of the tourists.

But we don’t exist down here.

A hundred feet subsurface,

undetectable to any human…

or nonhuman.

No one’s phoning home from here.

My brother’s greatest ambition

was to work up there at 51 doing what I do.

I wish I could’ve shown him what we’ve built down here.

[PANTING RAPIDLY]

SADIE: You’re okay.

Just… try to breathe.

Okay?

[PANTING SLOWS]

PAINE: When my brother and I were kids, they told us

that UFOs were just weather balloons, space trash.

Kubrick directed the moon landing in a Hollywood studio.

Cool story.

Where are you going? This first.

Is there an increased risk of exposure?

It’s not us I’m worried about.

You know we carry all kinds of viruses and bacteria

that could be harmful to a sensitive lifeform.

And we don’t know exactly what we’re dealing with here.

As long as we’re keeping the guests safe.

[WHIRRING]

PAINE: This is the first time we’ve had

a host compatible with one of our symbiotes.

And now we’ll be able

to talk to one.

[SCANNER BEEPS]

[MULLIGAN OVER SPEAKER] Monsters.

He’s been experiencing panic surges since we bonded him.

You try “Jingle Bells”?

So soothing.

Wow. Why didn’t I think of that?

Release him.

[WHIRRING]

[MULLIGAN OVER SPEAKER] Monsters.

I’m Dr. Paine.

Teddy.

You’re safe here.

I’m gonna help you.

Both of you.

Monsters.

PAINE: The transfer was successful.

We had no choice.

We had to try and save you.

Monsters.

You’re broken, too.

May I…

May I ask you some questions?

Is the symbiote communicating with you?

Do you hear it?

[HIGHPITCHED RINGING]

[GROANS SOFTLY]

Sound distresses them.

Okay.

Why are they here?

What do they want?

Safe haven.

Safe haven?

We were running.

Is he talking about the other symbiotes?

I think so.

MULLIGAN: His creatures search the universe for us.

But we will be found.

And when we are, he will kill us all.

Who?

There will be nothing left.

Here? On Earth?

Why were they running?

Because there is a dark,

cold sea

around this universe.

What is it?

[PAINED YELL]

[SYMBIOTE HISSING]

[BREATH TREMBLING]

You don’t want to know.

[HIGHPITCHED RINGING]

[RAPID BEEPING]

[MULLIGAN GROANING]

[SCREAMING]

MULLIGAN: I’ve sseen the ffuture.

[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

[RHYTHMIC WHIRRING]

[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

[RUMBLING]

[MULLIGAN SCREAMING]

TOXIN: The darkness…

has teeth.

PILOT: This is your captain speaking.

We are currently cruising at a comfortable 31,000 feet.

If you look out there to your left just now,

you’ll see the Grand Canyon.

[SCREAMING]

VENOM: Told you we could fly.

Oh, my God!

VENOM: Direct to New York.

My mouth is so dry!

VENOM: And we clear your name.

It’s so unpleasantly cold!

How does Tom Cruise do this?

VENOM: He doesn’t whine like a little bitch!

[SNARLS]

[SHRIEKS]

[RHYTHMIC WHIRRING]

[SCREECHES]

[WHOOSHING]

[SCREAMS]

EDDIE: What was that?

What is that?

Oh, fu…!

[EDDIE CRIES OUT]

[SCREAMS]

[SHRIEKING]

[SCREAMING]

[SNARLS]

[GRUNTS, YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

I’m sorry, Eddie, but I got to disappear.

EDDIE: What, now?

We’re in deep shit.

[EDDIE SCREAMING]

Why did you do that? [SCREAMS]

VENOM: I will explain.

No! No!

[SCREAMS]

No! No!

[GRUNTING]

[GASPS, GROANS]

Oh, I’m gonna go ahead and say

that this is the shittest hangover of all time.

VENOM: Look at it, Eddie.

Isn’t it just astonishing?

Oh, shut up.

VENOM: I don’t think I mind

living here forever.

EDDIE: We just came facetoface

with a literal death machine.

Forever seems pretty optimistic.

PODCASTER: With the decommissioning of Area 51,

will the Pentagon finally admit

that they’ve been holding UAPs?

That’s “unidentified aerial phenomena” to you.

Yeah, Dad, we know.

What I wouldn’t give to see who built one of those things.

That’s why we cashed in our savings

and came on this road trip, babe.

[CHUCKLES]

Hmm?

So you could finally get to see…

That it’s bullshit?

Yeah, well, what if I’m right?

Then I really hope we don’t end up

in an alien space lab with probes up our asses.

[CHUCKLES]

Or dead.

“Asses.”

[MARTIN LAUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

[WHOOSHING]

Whoa.

NOVA: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

MARTIN: Whoaho!

[TIRES SQUEALING]

Kicked up some gravel there.

Hang tight, family.

You good?

That was wild. [LAUGHS]

MARTIN: Did the dog vomit?

Yeah.

[PANTING]

[SNARLING]

[ROARS]

VENOM: Okay

[EDDIE GROANS]

We’ve got this.

Soft landing. Bend your knees.

Engage your core. Engage your core!

EDDIE: Whoa, whoa. [SNIFFS] Yes! Yes, that’s it.

Yes. That’s it!

Whoa. [EXHALES SHARPLY]

Well done.

That was terrifying.

Uh, this is not New York.

No, this is a wasteland.

VENOM: I’m detecting passive aggression.

Are you?

VENOM: Yeah.

Oh, I’m sorry. How about some active aggression?

You just threw me off a 757… Mm.

…without even the slightest consideration

for my chronic vertigo.

It was an Airbus A320.

Was it? I am sorry.

All right.

And what was that thing

that thing that we just juiced back there?

You’re not going to like this.

No, I can absolutely guarantee you that I’m not gonna.

[VENOM GRUNTING RHYTHMICALLY]

What are you doing? Why are you doing that?

That’s, uh… You’re being weird.

That’s creepy.

That was a Xenophage.

A what?

A Xenophage.

A symbiote hunter.

Of course.

Problem is, if she has found her way here,

others will soon follow.

Others?

The Xenophage’s maker also created us symbiotes.

So that’s your sister.

All the symbiotes turned on him,

locked him up on Klyntar.

Your planet.

No, not a planet.

Not your planet.

A prison we built for him to sleep…

Of course.

…for eternity!

What’s his name, then?

[MUTTERING]

I didn’t hear a word you said.

[WHISPERS] Knull.

Knull.

No! [SHUSHES]

[EDDIE SIGHS]

[VENOM GROWLS]

This is serious, Eddie.

Let’s just not talk. [SIGHS]

[SNARLS]

Quiet.

EDDIE: What does this “XylaXyn” thingy,

this symbiote hunter, want with you anyway?

VENOM: It doesn’t. It wants us.

We have something it needs.

We only have this shitty shirt.

We got one boot and sunburn.

And the codex.

The what, now?

I’ll show you. [GRUNTS]

[YELLS IN PAIN] Damn it, what are you doing?

VENOM: Let’s say you died.

I could bring you back to life.

EDDIE: Well, I like that.

VENOM: But if I did, our separate life forces

would become one single force

called a codex.

EDDIE: What the hell is a codex?

VENOM: It’s a key.

A key that unlocks a cage.

EDDIE: The prison on Klyntar.

VENOM: It would free our creator.

Well, thank God we haven’t died.

VENOM: Yeah, except that one time.

EDDIE: Oh, no. No.

So you’re telling me we’re carrying this thing.

VENOM: That’s why the Xenophage is hunting us.

[SHRIEKS]

EDDIE: What do we do?

VENOM: She can only see the codex

when a symbiote is in its full true form.

Right.

You mean you can’t come out?

I can do this. I can do this.

But if I fully transform,

the codex sends her a tracking signal.

She’ll find us, rip it out of our spine

and free Knull from Klyntar.

So how do we get rid of this codex?

As long as you and I both live, the codex exists.

If one of us should die…

No.

…the codex would die.

That’s not gonna work for me.

Nor me.

That Xenophage was fast.

It won’t take long for the Feds to tie us

to those four headless bodies we left in Mexico.

We got to get out of here.

Yeah, we better go.

[PANTING]

[HORSE WHINNIES]

Ah.

VENOM: Four legs are better than one.

Be honest with me, buddy.

How fast do you think you can get that thing to go

without killing it?

VENOM: Only one way to find out.

[PANTING SHARPLY]

Don’t scare him.

Don’t scare horseyhorseyhorse.

Nice horsey.

[WHISPERS] Hey.

VENOM: Nice horsey.

Surprise, horsey!

[NEIGHING]

I love horsey!

How about a new home, evict the current tenants?

I think you’ve watched too many alien invasion movies, Rex.

Have I?

[STRICKLAND SIGHS]

PAINE: They were running. That’s what he said.

Don’t kid yourself.

They were always migrating.

A meteor carrying symbiote life

crashes on Earth, and they all survive.

Coincidence? Give me a break.

All right.

Let’s go get ’em.

You’re so desperate to believe

that they’re here for altruistic reasons.

Makes you dangerous.

[WHIRRING]

We just intercepted an emergency call

from an Airbus out of Mexico

saying a man jumped off the plane over Sequoia.

We’ll take the Osprey.

There’s something else out here.

Something else?

STRICKLAND: He said this would happen.

I just lost three people.

Can you collect any samples?

Samples?

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Those were not Feds.

Those were some Special Forces shit.

VENOM: They were trying to kill us.

Yeah. Yeah, great. Great.

So now we have the cops, the United States Army

and some creature from hell hunting us.

Oh, God, I just saw blood mist

spray out of the back of an alien’s face.

[TREMBLING BREATHS]

I killed someone.

VENOM: They didn’t give you a choice.

You didn’t give me a choice.

VENOM: I couldn’t get to you.

Not in the rapids.

A year ago when you stole my life.

VENOM: We’ve been together for a whole year?

EDDIE: A year too long.

Just stay hidden while we get to New York

without getting killed.

[BEEPING, WHIRRING]

PAINE: We need you to come out.

The thing you talked about, the creature…

it’s here.

It killed some people.

[PAINE SHUDDERS]

Wow.

He’s so beautiful.

[TOXIN INHALES DEEPLY]

[PAINE GASPS SOFTLY]

I sense…

I sense my own.

And yet, the one Knull seeks

is not here.

What does he seek?

The black one.

Brock’s symbiote?

He’s the only one who carries a codex.

The end is Knull.

You need your suit.

Still worried about giving this thing a cold?

Venom carries the key to Knull’s freedom.

He must never obtain it.

Or your race will be killed.

You.

And you.

And…

you.

Everyone, everything.

How do we stop whatever’s up there from coming down here?

You can’t.

He’s older than the universe.

He needs the key.

Then everything will end.

How do we stop him from getting it?

If the symbiote and the host are alive,

then the codex is alive.

And if one of them dies?

The codex dies.

The codex dies.

Rex, you can’t be serious.

Oh, I’m game.

Destroying the codex is the only way

it remains unobtainable, right?

Hey, buddy, I’m talking to you.

Destroying it?

We have barely even scratched the surface.

My people are dead.

Something is coming that cannot be beaten.

I’m stopping all this shit right now.

Science is sacrifice.

Teddy.

This is serious.

STRICKLAND: Listen to her.

[TOXIN BREATHING DEEPLY]

Have you spoken to your family recently?

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

MARTIN: ♪ Myoho renge kyo, namu myoho… ♪

VENOM: I smell wet dog.

And sausamages!

Hey, friendo.

You okay there?

No, I’m not okay.

Uh, it’s pretty wild out there.

I know.

EDDIE: Yeah.

You hungry?

Yes.

MARTIN: Come over.

Thank you.

So, uh, this is my wife, Nova Moon.

NOVA: Hi.

Hey.

And these are my kids,

Echo and Leaf.

VENOM: A lifetime in therapy.

It’s, uh… it’s my lifelong dream.

VENOM: We could show him right now.

Not a believer?

[STAMMERS]

Actually, Martin, uh… [CLEARS THROAT]

Oh, what, you a comedian now?

No, actually, I was in I.T.

Oh, thanks.

I, uh… I hope you don’t get disappointed, you know?

And I hope that if you do find one,

I hope you meet a really good alien,

not a…

not a bad… one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I know a dark force when I see one, Eddie.

EDDIE: Hey, buddy.

I just had a crazy dream.

Buddy?

GENERAL: He’s not coming back.

But I need him back.

He wasn’t meant for this place.

You couldn’t have kept him.

And he couldn’t have kept you.

For your bravery, you both have the heartfelt thanks

of a grateful nation.

Eddie, you’re free to start your life again.

Everything that happened in San Francisco

and in the last few days,

consider it expunged.

Just so you’re clear, of course,

you ever breathe a word of this to any living soul,

you will spend the rest of that life

in the coldest, darkest hole imaginable.

Good luck, Eddie.
