Peter and Venom Investigate Oscorp
Peter Parker and Venom discover mind control devices shielding symbiotes from detection. Suspecting Oscorp's involvement, Peter decides to confront the company directly, despite Venom's concerns about being a wanted fugitive. They enter Oscorp and demand to see Dr. Curtis Connors. The FBI surrounds the building, but Peter convinces them that Venom is not a threat. Dr. Connors arrives, and Peter presents him with a mind control device, seeking answers about its purpose.
Unveiling the Mind Control Device
In Dr. Connors' office, he reveals that the device was originally intended for long-range communication directly into people's brains, but it had the side effect of making receivers blindly obey commands. Dr. Otto Octavius mass-produced the device after Oscorp cut ties with him. Connors explains that the devices are controlled by a central hub, which can be located. Peter learns that shutting down the devices would expose the symbiotes, potentially causing mass panic. Connors locates the central hub in an abandoned Oscorp facility. Peter and Venom decide to investigate, while Peter asks Connors to find a way to unlatch a symbiote from a person.
Confrontation with the FBI and MJ
Peter returns home to find the press and the FBI waiting for him. He briefly speaks with Mary Jane and FBI agents, who question his alliance with Venom. Peter explains to Mary Jane his responsibility for Eddie Brock's situation and the mind control devices. He tells her he must confront Dr. Octavius. Mary Jane supports his decision, and Peter promises to return safely.
Showdown at the Abandoned Facility
Peter and Venom arrive at the abandoned Oscorp facility, where they are ambushed and captured by Dr. Octavius and Carnage. Octavius reveals his plan to improve humankind and explains that he wanted to study Peter's immunity to the mind control devices. He admits to killing Peter's parents because Richard Parker and Dr. Connors opposed his science projects and were about to expose him. Enraged, Peter breaks free and battles Octavius, while Venom fights Carnage.
Explosion and Aftermath
During the battle, Venom defeats Carnage with a special weapon. Peter shuts down the mind control devices. As Octavius tries to escape, Peter's explosive webs cause a massive explosion. Peter wakes up in the aftermath to learn that he and Venom are the only survivors. The symbiotes in the city have been captured. Dr. Connors informs them that he has found a way to remove the Venom symbiote from Eddie Brock using a sonic attack.
Octavius's Return
In a final scene, Dr. Otto Octavius, severely burned and injured, is found by the Carnage symbiote amidst the rubble. The symbiote merges with him, regenerating his body and mechanical arms, transforming him into a new, monstrous entity.
