"If you have a fever and cough or sore throat... stay home." "I'd say 95% chance this is manufactured." "Came out of a laboratory." "The source of the virus was traced back... to drug testing done at Gen-Sys Laboratories in San Francisco." "The lab technician now known as Patient Zero... was accidentally exposed to retrovirus ALZ-113.... an Alzheimer's trial drug that was being tested on chimpanzees." "The infected chimps showed signs of erratic and aggressive behavior... that led to their escape from the facility." "The now-famous incident on the Golden Gate Bridge... a 6-hour standoff with police... ended with the apes disappearing into Muir woods." "Emergency rooms are being overwhelmed with patients showing signs... of what's being dubbed "The Simian Flu."" "The CDC is projecting a fatality toll... ranging from 5 million to as many as 150 million... in the next 6 to 8 months." "Anyone showing signs of a contagious illness will receive special treatment here... the airport's purpose-built quarantine center." "Many of the new arrivals are children who have lost contact with their parents." "The mandatory quarantines have sparked civil unrest." "Families are being ripped apart." "Containment is not very likely." "Prepare your families." "Know your evacuation route." "The survival rate is now approximately 1 in 500." "Violence erupted in the city center tonight." "The third incident in as many days." "Martial law has been declared in 28 nations... including the U.S. and Canada." "The reactor is overheating." "We can't stop a meltdown." "Just a total collapse of anything resembling civilian order." "Due to the extremity of the Simian Flu crisis... all regular government functions have been suspended indefinitely." "Those who aren't killed by the virus... will probably die in the fighting." "So, maybe this is it." "This is how it ends." "Pretty soon... there won't be anyone left." "Caesar..." "They are close." "Koba!" "Now, father?" "Son, stay..." "Thank you, Koba." "Think before you act, son." "Don't feel bad, Blue Eyes..." "Scars make you strong." "Come meet your new brother." "Another son." "Makes me think how far we've come, Maurice." "Seems long ago." "Still think about them?" "Humans?" "Sometimes." "Didn't know them like you did." "Only saw their bad side." "Good, bad... doesn't matter now." "Humans destroyed each other." "Apes fight too." "But we are family." "Wonder if they're really all gone." "10 winters now..." "Last two... no sign of them." "They must be gone." "That bear wouldn't get me Blue Eyes." "I'm quick!" "Shut up, Ash!" "Oh, God." "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Freeze!" "Stay!" "Help!" "No!" "Hey!" "Over here!" "I shot him!" "I shot him." "They shot Ash!" "Shot my son!" "Rocket, wait..." "We don't mean any harm!" "They're apes, man." "You think they understand what you're saying?" "Do they look like just apes to you?" "Dad." "Malcolm, what are you doing?" " Dad?" " Malcolm." "It's okay." "Put your guns down." " You can't be serious." " Do it." "Go!" "Holy shit." "Okay." "Okay, we're going." "Go!" "Slowly." "Go, go, go!" "My bag!" "Go!" "Koba!" "Follow!" "Did you find it?" "We need to talk." "What?" "What's wrong?" "The dam is pretty much intact." "It could probably start generating power for us within a week." "But there is a problem." "Get in." "I shot him." "I was scared." "I didn't know what to do." "Jesus Christ." "How many were there?" "A lot." "Like, 80." " At least." " Okay... you're not hearing what he's saying." "They spoke!" "That is not possible." "I'm telling you, Dreyfus, they did and it was incredible." "Incredible?" "They're talking apes!" " With big-ass spears!" " Please!" "I don't know exactly what you think you saw or heard... but you have to calm down, okay?" "What about the virus, Ellie?" "Any chance of contagion?" "We're all genetically immune or we would've been dead a long time ago." "You don't know that for sure." "She worked with the CDC." "She knows." "What are we gonna do?" "I don't know." "We need that power." "He could've killed us, but he didn't." "Maybe he kept us alive, so they could follow us." "They find out where we are, and they kill us all!" "What do you mean, "he"?" "That's what we're trying to tell you." "It was unlike anything you've ever seen before, and the leader..." "He was remarkable." "Really?" " Is that what you thought?" " It's what we saw." "Yeah, it's what we all saw." "Not a word of this back at the colony, you understand me?" "Not a word until we can figure out what to do." " You gotta be kidding." " No, I'm not kidding." "I don't want to create a panic." "How are you doing, pal?" "Are you okay?" " I dropped my bag." " I know." " Was your sketchbook in there?" " It's gone." "Carver just told me we're not gonna tell anybody what happened up there." "Not yet." "No." "Must attack them now!" "Before they attack us!" "We don't know how many there are." "How many guns they have?" "Or why they came up here?" "They shot your son, Rocket!" "Don't you want to fight?" "I follow Caesar." "Koba's right!" "They almost killed you, Ash!" "No!" "If we go to war..." "We could lose all we've built..." "Home." "Family." "Future." "I will decide by morning." "Caesar." "For years I was a prisoner in their lab..." "They cut me..." "Tortured me." "You freed me." "I would do anything you ask." "But we must show strength!" "We will, Koba." "Coming through." "Coming through." "That's a hell of a lot more than 80!" "Malcolm!" "Apes... do not want war... but will fight... if we must." "Ape home." "Human home." "Do not come back." "Everyone!" "Everyone, you have to calm down!" "Everybody." "Everybody!" "Please!" "We're all immune!" "We're all immune, or we wouldn't still be here!" "How did they find us?" "We found them." " You knew they were out there!" " What if they come back?" "Yeah!" "If they come back..." "If they come back... they'll be sorry they ever did!" "Now, this city may not have the manpower it once did... but it has the firepower." "Those stockpiles left behind... by FEMA, the National Guard, we have it all." "Look..." "I know why you're scared." "I'm scared, too, believe me." "But I recognize the trust you've all placed in me." "We've been through hell together." "But you all know what we're up against." "We're almost out of fuel." "Which means no more power... which means we could slip back to the way things were." "That dam up there was the answer." "We just had no idea they were up there, too." "So, what do we do now?" "Yeah!" "We find another way... because that power... is not just about keeping the lights on." "It's about giving us the tools... to reconnect to the rest of the world." "To find out who else is out there... so that we can start to rebuild... and reclaim... the world we lost." "That was a great speech." "There is no alternative power source." "That dam is the only option." "Well, then, we fight them." "We're 2 weeks away from running out of fuel." "Maybe 3, tops." "I know." "And once that happens..." "I won't be able to go out there with a bullhorn... and calm everybody down." "We need that power to get the radio transmitter working." "It's our only chance of reaching the outside world." "We have to find other survivors." "Yeah." "There's not that many of us left." "We can't afford any more casualties." "We founded this place..." " you and I..." " I know." "On the idea that power would lead us back to the life we once had." "If we can't stick together, maybe we can't survive." "I lost everything." "The idea of losing what little I have is..." "I want to go back up there." "Listen to me." "Give me 3 days." "Let me talk to him." "If it doesn't work, then we do it your way." "And what if it backfires?" "What if he gets violent?" "I mean, how do you know that he'll even understand you?" "He's more than just an ape." "I'm gonna take some men up to Fort Point." "I'm gonna go through the armory." "I'm gonna see what's still working." "3 days." "You're not back in 3 days... we're going up there, and we're gonna kill every last one of them." "Carver is getting the trucks ready." "He'll be here with Foster and Kemp any minute." "You're really taking Carver?" "I mean, he shot one of them." "I don't really have any choice." "He used to work at the water department." "He's the only one who knows how the dam works." "Malcolm... what are you gonna do up there?" "What are you gonna say?" "I'll tell him the truth." "Hope I catch him in a good mood." "You think I'm crazy." "I'm worried." "Yeah, so am I." "I've gone over it in my head... and I think if I don't at least try this... there's gonna be a war." "Take me with you." "What if someone gets hurt?" "You'll need me there." "I love you." "But I need you to stay here." "I don't want Alexander to be alone." "I'm coming, too." "Son, it's not safe." "But I'm safer with you than I am down here." "I'm coming." "Please." "No one gets out of the trucks." "No one." "If I'm not back in 2 hours, you get everyone back to the city." "It's gonna be okay." "Please." "Please." "Please." "Please don't kill me." "Just hear what I have to say." "I know." ""Don't come back." I know." "I wouldn't be here unless it were..." "Okay!" "Okay!" "Okay!" "Okay, okay, okay." "I need to show you something." "It's not far." "Human lies!" "No!" "No!" "No, no, no." "I swear." "If I could just show you, then you'll understand." "Please." "Show me." "This is what we used to call a "small hydro."" "It was built to service areas to the north of here... but we've been working to reroute the power lines to the city... because the city used to run off nuclear power, but that ran out years ago." "So, we've been using diesel generators and gasifiers." "But if we can just get this dam working... then we have a shot at restoring limited power." "Is any of this making any sense to you?" "The..." "lights."
