Part 2/7:
Eddie Brock, a known investigative journalist, is tasked with interviewing Carlton Drake, the ambitious and morally questionable head of the Life Foundation. Instead of flattering Drake, Eddie confronts him with allegations about inhumane experiments conducted on humans, leading to Eddie and his fiancée, Anne Weying, losing their jobs. This causes a significant rift between the couple, ultimately leading to their separation.
Following the fallout, Eddie learns from a scientist, Doris, about Drake's cruel human tests involving the symbiotes. Motivated by guilt and a desire for justice, Eddie decides to infiltrate the Life Foundation. In the process, a chaotic event leads to Eddie being bonded with a symbiote after an encounter with a guinea pig, resulting in the birth of Venom within him.
