03x11 - Chapter XI: Carnage

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Spider-Man.

Cletus Kasady, come out now!

Freeze!

When I become Venom once more...

This Venom thing never existed.

- Mordo!
- Yes, Master Dormammu?

When I ordered you to
retrieve the symbiote,

I did so because it was
about to reproduce.

And it has.

- There is now... another.
- Who are you?

- I'll take it.
- It must take you.

Now there is Carnage.

Together again.

- Eddie?
- We are Venom now.

Now we are poised to obtain
the last piece of the puzzle.

Dormammu sent us to get this.

There's another symbiote?

Eddie, are you going
to fight injustice?

Between the two of us, Dad,

there won't be enough left of
Spider-Man to fit in a matchbox.

Guess I can say you
"axed" for this, Web Man.

Stop. Spider-Man is
ours and ours alone.

You may be our spawn, but that
won't keep us from destroying you.

Stop this petty squabble.

The Master commands you to bring
back the inter-dimensional machine.

The Dread Dormammu made
you both what you are.

And you agreed to help him.

Do you dare go back
on your words?

The heck with my word, man.

I'm gonna bring this back.

I can't wait to see the horrors
Dormammu's going to commit

when he gets here.

We must keep our word.

Then hurry, fools.

You were lucky this time.

Mordo won't always be
around to save your hide.

Eddie, come back! Eddie!

After them!
We've got to get that probe back.

Well, well. This is certainly
more than I expected.

I finally gonna see
who you really are.

Hold it. I think he looks
good in the mask.

What are you doing?
I'm a journalist.

You're also trespassing.

Trespassing? That's ridiculous.

Here's my press badge.

I don't see no stinking badge.

What are you, nuts?

You'll hear from my lawyers.

I've got the best.

Thanks.
Hey, you've been hurt.

Spider-Man, please get w*r
Machine to a doctor, immediately.

Tony, I'm sorry I let you down.

Nonsense, my friend.
You've softened them up.

Now I'm gonna send someone
in to finish the job.

Who is he gonna send?

The guy named Iron Man.

We're even, Mordo, and now we can
get back to unfinished business.

That suits me.

That was good for an old guy.

Stop. I cannot leave my world,

unless an equal amount of life
force is send here to replace me.

We don't have time for this.

Our debts is paid in full.

Ingrate.

I'll drag him back here.

Stop. I don't need Venom anymore.

You will be sufficient
for this assignment.

Kasady's insane mind has bonded
so completely with the symbiote.

He refers to himself
as "I" instead of "we".

He has to be stopped.

Where will he strike next?

Units three and four, move in.

I hate having my
meals interrupted.

Just like sardine cans.
Snack time.

What is he doing?

I know that loud sound or intense
heat can stop the symbiote,

but that's no help to me right now.

I hope your life force isn't
as useless as your life.

No! Why isn't it working?

Carnage, your body can
hold no more life force.

Come back so that you can redrain.

I'll catch you later for dessert.

How do we stop that horror?

He's only half the problem.

Venom's still out there
too, somewhere.

Thank you for coming,
Anna, Mary Jane.

Oh, I worry myself into fits
when Peter's out this late.

Now May, you stop that.

If you don't, you'll
make yourself sick.

I swear, Peter is going to be the
ruination of that poor woman.

Hush, maybe that's him now.

I'll get it.

- Parker here?
- No. No, he's not.

Why, I remember you.

You're Peter's friend from
the Bugle, Mr. Brock.

- He's there right now.
- Really? Thank you.

Got to go now.

Got to get down to the Bugle.

Mr. Brock, I remember you too.

And I know Peter isn't your friend.

What do you want with him?

Inquisitive aren't you?
And beautiful too.

No wonder we remember
that he loves you so much.

Peter loves me?

It's all your fault those
freaks got the device, Stark.

Your security staff is
incompetent and rude too.

They just have a low tolerance
for yellow journalism.

Yellow? How dare you use that kind
of language and description of me?

You used the word "freaks".

These are human beings
who have an illness.

You make it sound like
they have the flu, Dr. Kafka.

These monsters must be stopped.

You know who's at the
bottom of all this?

Spider-Man.

He's the one who's attracting
us trouble. And has...

Why, if it isn't our old boss.

Ah, perfect appetizer.

Ah, and here's the main course.

This is what we call service.

- No, Eddie.
- You?

Eddie, listen to me.

It's the symbiote that
compels you to violence.

You must fight its influence.

Ya, Brock. Don't hurt me.

I've always thought
the world of you.

- Stay away from him, Kafka.
- Eddie.

Venom's appearance here
caught me off guard.

But Dr. Kafka's
bought me some time.

You see? You are strong enough.
You can reject it.

No, Ashley.
Our other is too strong.

Spider-Man?

Goodbye.

Eddie, no.

If you destroy Spider-Man, the
alien will take over completely.

Can't afford to lose him again.

You were going to follow us?

What makes you think
you'll live long enough?

That was for w*r Machine.
This is for me.

- My head. It's on fire.
- Eddie, no!

- Help me.
- Fight the symbiote.

Shut up.

I owe you one, Iron Man.
Thanks.

Don't mention it.

Any friend of w*r Machine
is a friend of mine.

Come on.
Let's see if we can catch him.

This is taking forever.

I got people to torment.

Transfer is almost complete.

And then.
We can say hello to hot-head?

I mean Dormammu.

The urn is not yet full.

We need the energy
of a few more lives.

Only a few? Too bad.

Where they are?

Maybe Madam Web would know.

Except that weird old crone is
never around when you... hey!

Old crone, am I?

Look, I don't have time to talk.

I gotta help Iron Man
find Venom and Carnage.

Hold your tongue and watch.

You see. Time has already passed.

Where am I? Ravencroft?

We... No, I brought you back.

You were right about my other.

When I spared Spider-Man,

the symbiote nearly
tore apart my mind.

Right now it sees you as a threat.

No, but I can't...

Keep watching.

I can't imagine how you
must be suffering, Eddie.

I can stand it.
I can stand it for you.

Ashley, I know you can never
love a monster like me.

But I could love a man.

We must separate you from the
symbiote before it's too late.

- No!
- Fight it, Eddie. You must!

The alien is getting stronger.

Then we mustn't waste time.

I have an associate
who can help us.

Where are they going?

- Maybe I can...
- Be quiet.

You can keep watching.

I conducted tests on this
piece of the symbiote

I got from Spider-Man
a few months ago.

And I've learned that a combination
of high-ray sonics and infrared heat

might separate you
from the alien organism.

I'll take any chance
to be human again.

And now time passes again.

How do you do this?

Transcend time and space?

It's simple. I practiced.

We can hold it in
this containment unit.

Sporadic sound pulses
will keep it dormant.

Are we... Am I...

Yes, you're Eddie again.

And only Eddie.

That's one less symbiote
I have to worry about,

- but what about Carnage?
- Silence.

It's Kasady. Where is he?

He's waiting for a mutual
acquaintance of yours,

a strong woman.

- Who?
- Remember this.

You must keep your friends close

and your enemies even closer.

Wait. What's that supposed to mean?

She said Carnage was waiting
for a mutual acquaintance.

Who does he know that I know?

Oh no. There is one person.

Good evening, Detective Lee.

I told you we'd meet again,
to settle old accounts.

My, aren't we inhospitable.

I'll show you inhospitable.

You've ruined my surprise.

This is Lieutenant Lee.

I need backup at my place or...

I'm gonna shred you to pieces.

Hello?

Where? I'll be right there.

Ashley, where you're going?

Kasady's just been spotted
near Columbus Circle.

You're not thinking of
going there, are you?

Kasady's also my patient, Curt.

I took an oath.

At least, let me go with you.

Eddie needs your help now.

Take care of him for me, please.

He's jamming the cartridges.
The pressure's too much.

I can't get your life force,
but I get the rest of you.

Hold it right there!

No!

Got to make sure he
takes the brunt of it.

We needed one more life force

and you're elected.

Kasady!

If one person deserves this
more than him, it's you.

Yes, this is the last
life energy we need.

I must bring you back immediately.

[chants a spell]

I've got to find out where
they went, but how?

Remember, a warrior keeps his
friends close and his enemies closer.

The only friend I can think of who
can help me now is Iron Man.

But as for keeping
my enemies closer,

who is she talking about?

Brock! I need Brock's help.

He knows where Mordo's lair is.

He's been there, as Venom.

Ashley?

- Dr. Kafka?
- Easy Eddie.

- She's not here.
- What? Where, where is she?

- I tried to stop her.
- Where?

- Kasady. She went to help Kasady.
- No.

I heard on the news.

She's... she's vanish
with that lunatic.

Brock, if you really love that woman,
you'll tell me where Mordo is.

You wanna go up against Carnage,
Mordo and that-that fiery freak?

You don't stand a chance.
I've gotta...

Brock, you're still weak
from the separation.

There's nothing you could do.

You're right, there's
nothing I can do.

There's plenty Venom can do.

- You can't be serious.
- Easy, friend.

The last thing the world needs is
to deal with that monster again.

Besides if you rebond
with the symbiote

you'll never survive another
separation attempt.

That will be the end
of Eddie Brock.

If I don't, it'll be
the end of Ashley.

We're wasting time, Brock.

All I want is for you to
tell me where they are.

Okay okay. You win.

At last!
We are together again!

Brock, remember Ashley.

- Ah, Ashley.
- Put Spider-Man down.

Alright, alright.
Not that you'll be much help.

But I can't do this alone.

We're partners, for now.

Partners?
Am I out of my mind?

Going up against Carnage, Mordo and
Dormammu with this lovesick sociopath

is not my kind of funny movie.

But now I see what Madame Web meant
about keeping my enemies closer.

There. Full at last.

As soon as the portal clarifies,

release the contents of the urn.

Hey, sorry to drop in
without an invitation.

This is for meddling in my affairs.

Careful! They're some
kind of mystic bolts.

Didn't think they were ???.

Nice try, Mordo.

Now you learn the taste
of my repulsor rays.

Tell! Where is she?

Ashley.

Carnage, release the
contents of the urn.

Alright hot-head, we've
been waiting for you.

Do your stuff!

- Master.
- At last!

A new world and new
souls to consume.

Sorry, pal. Dinner's cancelled.

That worked real
well, wall crawler.

I've got another idea.

You think you and Iron Man
can hold them off without me?

Who needs you at all?

Now, if I can reverse the
polarity of this thing...

- No. Noooo...!
- Sorry pal.

You're going back to
the old neighbourhood.

Now that's two I owe you.
Who's counting?

No!

Turn off the power.

No, Mordo!

- Ashley! Ashley, you alright?
- Eddie.

I'm so glad you're safe.

You rebonded with
the alien to save me.

Oh, Eddie.

I can feel the symbiote
taking over.

I'm a monster again.

Don't leave me, Eddie.

Carnage, the probe!

Brock, help me.

There is no Eddie Brock.

Now there is only, Venom.

You got him. Now shut it off.

I've been trying,
but it won't close.

Dormammu's created
some kind of energy link

between himself and Carnage.

It won't break.

We'll have to sent
Carnage through too.

No!

I'm not going in there alone.

Ashley!

- Eddie!
- I'll always love you.

All is lost... for now.

Hey. That belongs
to Stark Industries.

If Tony Stark has a problem,
he can take it up with me.

He couldn't bear to live as
a monster in a world of men.

Perhaps what's left of
Eddie will find peace

in that other strange
world he's in now.

I hope so, Doctor.
I honestly do.

He may have been
my biggest enemy,

but in the end, he proved
to be my greatest ally.

Oh please, not this. Not now!

I sense you're confused.

I am.

Who would have expected Eddie
Brock to make a sacrifice like that?

You must learn to
expect the unexpected.

You yourself might soon have
to make such a sacrifice.

What are you
preparing me for anyway?

A horror. A horror beyond belief.

Great.
I'm real glad I asked.
