Rise of the Planet of the Apes Page #3

Don't blame yourself, senator.

You've been compassionate with them.

Look how they've repaid you.

Can you find her?

If you untie my hands.

What do you want?

Declare martial law.

Give me absolute power. . .

. . .to rid this planet of humans

once and for all.

Now is not the time to be timid

or indecisive.

I'm the one who can bring

your daughter back alive.

He's not in the city.

We underestimate this human.

I'll hunt him down.

Your father sent me.

You must come quickly.

Warn the outposts.

Don't let the humans pass.

I understand, sir.

Apart from my father,

I rely on you most.

We are not just soldiers.

We are friends.

I'll depend on you.

Yes, sir.

-So many questions I want to ask.

-Me too.

ARl:

These "zoos"--

What are they? This word is

not familiar.

-Our last apes are in zoos.

-What happened to them?

Gone.

After we cut down the forests. . .

. . .the ones who survived. . .

. . .were locked up in cages.

LEO:

Used for scientific experiment.

-That's horrible.

-We do worse to our own kind.

I don't understand.

You seem intelligent.

Smarter we get, the more

dangerous our world becomes.

I knew it. You're sensitive.

Uncommon quality in a male.

Why don't your apes object

to the way you treat them?

They can't talk.

Maybe they choose not to,

given the way you treat them.

Apes in cages. Right.

THADE:

Father.

I don't have much time.

Tell me about this human. . .

. . .who troubles you.

I will capture him

with little trouble.

No. You're not telling me everything.

You believe he is not born

of this world.

Has he come alone?

Yes.

More will come looking for him.

How can you possibly know?

I have something to tell you.

Something my father told me. . .

. . .and his father told him.

Back along our bloodlines to Semos.

In the time before time. . .

. . .we were the slaves

and the humans. . .

. . .were the masters.

Impossible.

Break it.

What you hold in your hand

is the proof of their power.

Their power of invention.

Their power of technology.

Against this, our strength

means nothing.

This has the power

of a thousand spears.

I warn you.

Their ingenuity goes hand in hand

with their cruelty.

No creature. . .

. . .is as devious, as violent.

You must find this human quickly.

Do not let him get to Calima.

The forbidden area?

Calima holds the secret

to our true beginnings.

Damn them.

I will stop him, Father.

Damn them.

Damn them all to hell.

What is it?

DAENA:

They're to keep us away.

LEO:

What's on the other side?

It leads to the sacred

ruins at Calima.

-What is that?

-Calima? That's where, well. . .

. . .according to our holy writings,

creation began.

Where the Almighty

breathed life into Semos. . .

. . .the first ape.

In the time before time.

It is where Semos will return.

Most educated apes consider

such religious notions as fairy tales.

Metaphors we use to explain our origins.

I doubt if there ever really was a Semos.

LEO:

My crew is there, so we're going.

Doesn't he ever stop?

-They're scared of water?

-We'll cross somewhere else.

No time. Gets dark,

we're going right through.

Semos smiles on me.

I win again.

You win too often.

What's hidden up your sleeve?

All of them.

Cheater!

-Who's in charge here?!

-I am, sir!

-I didn't know--

-This camp is a disgrace.

ATTAR:
Some humans have escaped!

-If they come, we will crush them.

These humans are different.

They travel with apes.

[LAUGHING]

You find this amusing?

No, sir.

I'm assuming command.

This camp will be prepared!

Just grab the reins.

Hold tight. We're gonna

cross the river.

Horses are great swimmers.

They'll carry you across.

Good luck. Have a nice ride.

Leave me. I'll only slow you down.

-Letting him go?

-No. He'll ride with us.

No, wait. Wait. This is suicide.

Only a human would think

that this could work.

[GASPS]

Hear my prayers, Semos,

father of all apes.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

No! No! I'm on your side!

Come on!

[ROARS]

[GASPS]

Come on! We have to swim.

Hey!

I won't let go of you!

Come on!

[GROWLS]

[GROWLS]

No, no, wait. There's no need now.

-Says who?

-Them.

They tried to kill me like

I was nothing but a miserable--

Human?

Ow.

You're hurt.

She was holding on pretty tight.

The soldiers will cross downstream.

We should move quickly!

ATTAR:
They crossed the river.

-You didn't stop them?

ATTAR:

Horses carried them.

Horses?

Our horses, sir.

[CHATTERS]

Forgive me, my friend.

I'm not angry with you.

Father was taken from me.

He was a great leader

and a direct descendant of Semos.

ATTAR:

Now it's time for you to lead.

Form the divisions.

Form divisions!

[CHATTERS]

Full battle ready!

Sound the call to march!

Tomorrow we reach Calima.

He'll stay like that all night.

A soldier, isn't he?

A general. Well, he was

until he opposed Thade.

When Thade ruined his career,

my father took him in.

He was a great soldier.

Attar was his best pupil.

ARl:

Now they're enemies.

I'd like to see your world.

They'd probably prod you and poke you

and throw you in a cage.

You'd protect me.

They think you'll save them.

After you meet your friends,

we'll never see you again.

Well, I didn't promise them anything.

No.

You just dropped in from the stars.

They're not here.

LEO:

Hello?

They were never here.

You said they'd come for us.

LEO:

That's impossible.

What is it?

It's my ship.

These ruins are

thousands of years old.

I was just here a few days ago.

This is what I was

picking up. The Oberon.

ARl:

What are you doing?

It has a power source

that lasts forever.

Maybe I can access

the ship's visual log.

Then I can figure out what happened.

Mayday! Come in, guidance!

Request instructions!

Going down!

We were searching for a pilot

in an electromagnetic storm.

I got pushed forward through time.

We haven 't had any communications

since we crashed.

This planet is uncharted, uninhabited.

The apes we've brought along with us

are a lot stronger...

...and a lot smarter...

... than we ever imagined.

Apes are out of control.

One male named Semos...

... who I raised myself,

has taken over the group.

We have weapons but I don 't

think we'll last long.

Maybe I saw the truth,

but I wouldn 't admit it.

They were good students--

They're all dead

because they looked for me.

We're alive because of you.

Who are they?

Your story is spreading.

They want to see. . .

. . .this human who defies the apes.

Send them all back.

Where? They left their homes

to be with you.

I saw them.

How many?

As far as I could see.

Thade has all his legions.

The senate's capitulated.

He answers to no one now.

You're gonna have to get your people

out of here.

They won't listen to me.

This is a fight we can't win.

Break up and scatter.

I'll draw them off.

I'm who they want.

LEO:

All right? Come on!

Let's go!

Let's go!

LEO:

Come on!

You've gotta make them understand.

It's over. No help is coming.

You came.

Stop!

Come closer and identify yourself!
