Rise of the Planet of the Apes Page #4

Synopsis: At the story's heart is Caesar (Andy Serkis), a chimpanzee who gains human-like intelligence and emotions from an experimental drug. Raised like a child by the drug's creator, Will Rodman (James Franco) and a primatologist Caroline Aranha (Freida Pinto), Caesar ultimately finds himself taken from the humans he loves and imprisoned in an ape sanctuary in San Bruno. Seeking justice for his fellow inmates, Caesar gives the fellow apes the same drug that he inherited. He then assembles a simian army and escapes the sanctuary - putting man and ape on a collision course that could change the planet forever.

How dare you show your face here?!

It is not my decision.

I wish to speak to Thade.

[SNARLS]

Why have you come?

To be with you.

A trade?

You're proposing that?

Yourself for the humans?

Even when you were a child,

you took in stray humans.

Your family indulged you.

Look what you've become.

I've been. . .

. . .mistaken.

Forgive me.

So you want to be human?

Then wear their mark!

Let her return.

THADE:

She'll die with her friends tomorrow.

We were searching for a pilot

in an electromagnetic storm.

We haven 't had any communications

since we crashed.

I'm so sorry.

I'm responsible for all of this.

And I'm never going home.

Just like them.

The apes are out of control.

I can't go home, either.

Maybe we're not so different.

No. We're very different.

You care about everybody but yourself.

Doesn't matter. Apes, humans.

My planet, your planet.

The universe rewards cruelty with power.

No.

Not always. Not if we fight back.

I'm just not sure how.

Better take care of that.

KRULL:

I respect your courage.

But my advice to you is

to put that away. . .

. . .and head for the mountains.

There's one possibility.

I want those people behind the ship.

-Not hiding, they need to be seen.

-And us?

You'll be in front. You're the bait.

-I won't move.

-You won't be there.

-I can do this!

-I know. I need you back with them.

We got one shot.

LEO:

Listen!

I got an idea.

We may have a chance.

I need you behind the ship.

Hey, we can win this.

It's been done before. On my planet.

Men have done amazing things in history.

That history belongs to you.

Sometimes even a few

can make a difference, okay?

This is the day you've waited for!

You get to stand up to the apes!

Leo!

You know you can't defeat Thade's army.

We might confuse them.

It could give us a chance.

You don't understand Thade.

He'll keep coming for you.

No matter what.

That's what I'm counting on.

Get behind the ship!

LEO:

Get children behind the ship!

Come on, move! Now!

-Let me go.

-No.

-Let me prove I can help!

-I need you here.

Help clear them back.

-What?

-I'm part of this!

-Get back!

-No!

BIRN:

I'm staying!

Send in the first wave.

[ROARS]

Here they come.

Now!

Oh, God.

Come on.

Jesus!

Come on.

Wait.

Now! Go!

With that weapon,

we cannot defeat them!

I'm tired of this human.

No! Wait!

My fight is with Thade, not you!

Then your fight is with me!

[ENGINE ROARS]

Semos.

Pericles. A better landing than me.

Sir, the prophecy is true.

Semos has returned to us.

Come on.

Let's go explain evolution

to the monkeys.

[PERICLES CHATTERS]

He'll turn us into slaves!

Kill him!

Listen. This is where you're from.

We brought you here. It's true.

We lived in peace together. Semos. . .

. . .killed everybody.

He's lying!

Help me!

My friend, kill him!

Everything I have believed is a lie!

ATTAR:

You and your family have betrayed us!

I won't help you anymore.

Ari. . . .

[GRUNTS]

You okay?

You came home.

It's safe.

You can come out now.

What? It's over?

I was just getting ready

to make my move.

ATTAR:

We'll leave the graves unmarked.

No one who comes will be able

to tell apes from humans.

They'll be mourned together. . .

. . .as it should be, from now on.

Take good care of him, okay?

I can promise you

I won't put him in a cage.

[BEEPS]

It found the storm

that brought me here.

You know. . .

. . .it would mean much to everyone. . .

. . .if you would stay.

Would mean much to me.

I have to leave now.

I have to get back.

You know, one day,

they'll tell a story. . .

. . .about a human who came

from the stars. . .

. . .and changed our world.

Some will say it was just

a fairy tale. . .

. . .that he was never real.

But I'll know.

Oh.

Keep it.

You know, I'd like to thank you. . .

. . .for opening my eyes to a brave new

world of trade with the humans.

Yeah, no problem.

Farewell, spaceman.

All right, kids, who wants

to buy some aspirin?

Maybe you'll come back.

MAN:
Z.D. C. Air Route Traffic

Control to unidentified aircraft.

Unidentified craft, do you copy?

-Copy that.

-You're entering restricted airspace.

-Permission to land!

-You're off-target. Abort!

I can't!

[POLICE CAR SIRENS]

POLICE APE 1 :

Stay where you are!

POLICE APE 2:

Show your hands!

POLICE APE 3:

Keep your hands up!
