Let's go! Get into position.

- You ready?

- Yes, sir.

Good.

Listen to me.

We are survivors!

Now, they may have got their hands

on some of our guns...

But that does not make them men.

They are animals!

We will push them back!

Drive them down!

And they will not

get through these doors!

There! California street!

Bring me the rocket launcher!

We have a beacon marking our location.

Please, we need help.

We are under attack.

Ellie, help me.

My...

Son...

My...

Family...

Where?

I don't know.

Try not to speak. You need to rest.

Hold.

He's lost a lot of blood.

Is he going to make it?

I don't understand.

Where did carver get the gun?

Why would he do this?

Ape...

Ape...

This.

Get in the truck.

Followed the humans here. Hiding everywhere!

We must catch them all!

Kill him.

Apes follow...

Koba now.

Oh, my God.

Look, the colony's on fire.

Where are we going to go?

Caesar, what?

Is this it?

Are we close?

Where is he taking us?

Malcolm, stop!

I don't understand.

What are we doing here?

It doesn't matter.

We just need a place to hide him

until we find out what's going on at home.

Go move the table.

Okay. Right here.

Okay.

Dad, look.

Look.

We need to operate.

I don't have anything.

There's a surgical kit

back at the place, but that's-

I'll go.

It's not safe.

He's the only one that can stop this.

Humans!

You ape prisoner now!

You will know life in cage.

More humans out there.

Go! Find them!

Maurice...?

Koba said...

...we're too loyal to your father.

Protect yourself.

Sh*t!

Hey, wait.

Your father.

He's alive.

I got it.

How is he?

Your... mother.

Brother.

Safe?

For now.

No.

No.

Not human.

Koba.

Malcolm.

Yeah.

Caesar.

We need to do this now.

Son.

How is he?

We'll see.

He's very strong.

It's gonna be okay.

I'm so sorry...

For everything.

No.

I...

Am to blame.

But koba betrayed you.

I...

Chose to trust him...

Because he is ape.

I always think...

Ape better than human.

I see now...

How much like them we are.

Where koba now?

On the human tower...

Loyal apes around him.

And those who not follow?

Prisoners.

Maurice.

Rocket.

Koba killed ash.

Fear makes others follow.

But when they see you alive...

They will turn from koba.

Not if I am weak.

Ape always seek strongest branch.

I must do something to stop him.

Father.

Let me help you.

Please, let us out of here!

Okay.

Caesar, look.

Apple.

Apple.

Good.

Home.

Home.

Home.

Yes.

This is your home.

Your home.

Good. Good.

That's good.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to intrude.

It's been two days.

Your son is not back yet?

Who was that?

On the video.

A good man.

Like you.

They need to get to the tower

without being seen.

I'm gonna take him through the subway.

I love you.

Koba sent for the females and young.

They're on their way.

Mother too.

Must go. Now!

Are you okay?

Who's there?

If you're human, you better say so!

It's me! It's Malcolm!

Don't shoot!

Take the stairs.

They'll bring you around and

up under the street, okay?

Go.

Thank you.

Trust.

All right, I'm coming out!

Don't shoot!

Hey!

Look who I found.

I didn't know if you'd made it out.

Good to see you.

Don't worry.

We're gonna turn all this around.

What do you mean? What's going on?

The apes. They're all over the tower.

I lost the signal. It dropped out.

Keep trying.

Malcolm, look at this.

C-4. Five-pound blocks.

We just started setting them.

They're gonna take down the whole tower.

Blast them all at once.

We could use your help.
