Are there more like you?

- More apes... from zoo?

- Dead. All dead.

Long time.

Human get sick.

Ape get smart.

Then human kill ape.

But not me.

I run.

- You learned to speak?

- Listened human.

Bad ape!

Bad ape.

No.

No touch.

That's mine.

I am okay.

Amazing...

Always thought we

were the only ones.

Wonder if there are

more in the world?

More apes like us.

Here. Eat. Eat.

New friends.

Special day.

CALIFORNIA BORDER

QUARANTINE FACILITY

Where did you get this?

Bad place.

I find long time ago.

After zoo I look for food.

I find human zoo.

Zoo for sick.

Big walls.

Sick human climb.

Bad human kill.

And then all get sick.

All dead now.

Long time. Long time.

Bad humans?

Soldiers?

- Soldiers.

- A deserted military camp!

On the border!

Maybe the Colonel and the

troops are going there?

Is it far?

Can you take us?

Human zoo?

No! No go back there.

I...

Everyone dead. I come here.

Very safe here.

Never go back! No!

- Please. You must take us.

- No!

No! Cannot take! Cannot take!

No, no!

No! Look! Look! Look!

More snow. Cannot go.

Must stay.

You eat, you rest, stay here.

With me.

Here. You keep.

I don't know.

But she with you?

She has no one else.

I see you look at her just now.

Look sad.

You have child?

The other was killed by human.

Soldier?

Had child.

You think you will find him...

Soldier?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Then...

Maybe I take you.

Thirsty.

Thirsty.

Thirsty.

Luca, come.

Let's go closer.

Keep them safe.

What are they doing?

I don't know.

What's that? A patrol?

I don't see riders.

Hold it!

I saw them coming.

At least this time...

I was able to protect you...

Caesar...

This must stop.

It's not too late to

join the other apes.

We cannot turn back!

Luca gave his life.

Please!

They must pay.

Now...

you sound like Koba.

It was a mistake bringing you all.

This is my fight.

I will finish this alone.

Go. Now.

Join the others.

What happened?

They came out of nowhere...

Attacked us.

We thought they would kill us all...

But the Colonel stopped them!

There was madness in his eyes!

He said they would use us,

before we died!

And they brought us all here!

Use you?

They've been forcing us to work!

What...

What kind of work?

Wait.

My little son is here.

Grant...

and Lee.

Wellington...

and Napoleon.

Custer

and Sitting Bull...

Youre probably not

much of a reader,

but this is a big moment.

Where were you?

We came upon your herd.

We got lucky.

I was surprised you werent with them.

I hope you dont come to

regret sparing his life.

He's quite a good shot.

Have you finally come

to save your apes?

I came for you.

For me?

Who did I kill that night?

My wife.

My son.

I'm sorry.

I was there for you.

God.

Look at your eyes.

Almost human.

- How did you know I was here?

- I was told you were coming.

That more soldiers from the north...

- would be joining you here.

- Joining me?

To finish us off.

For good.

Who told you that?

Okay.

Let's go.

Father!

Father!

Lake.

Forgive them.

We've been through much.

Father!

What have I done?

Battalion, halt!

- Blood!

- Makes the grass grow!

- We!

- Make the blood flow!

- We are the beginning!

- And the end!

We haven't had food or

water since we got here...

Why do they need a wall?

Donkey!

- Get him!

- Okay, okay.

Okay.

Leave him!

- Tell them to get back to work.

- Apes need food and water.

- Tell them.

- Give them food and water.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

Hurry! Back to work!

String him up, donkey.

Bad place.

Bad, bad place.

What you see?

- Must save them!

- But how?

Must think!

What would Caesar do?

No!

Why so small?

What did the Colonel promised you?

You really think he let you live?

After we are gone?

You let them call you donkey.

You are ape.

Colonel wants see you.

HISTORY:

Interfere with the work again,

I will begin slaughtering the apes,

one by one.

Understand?

I need that wall.

Apes need food and water.

They'll get food and water

when they finish their work.

Give apes food and water.

- Or they cannot finish it.

- You know, you're very emotional.

What makes you think youre

in a position to make demands?

- Okay, let's go.

- The soldiers who are coming here,

they are not coming

to join you, are they?

I saw men outside, on the wall,

preparing for battle.

They told me you're smart,

but that's impressive.

No, they won't be joining me.

They are against you?

They fear me.

Why?

Because you kill your own men?

We found bodies.

Something wrong with these men.

Jesus Christ, you are impressive.

You paint quite a picture.

What you must think of me.

I think you have no mercy.

You came here to kill me.

Were you going to show me mercy?

I showed you mercy

when I spared your men.

I offered you peace

and you killed my family.

Mercy.

Do you have any idea what

your mercy would do to us?

Youre much stronger than we are.

You're smart as hell.

No matter what you say,

youd eventually replace us.

Thats the law of Nature.

The irony is, we created you.

We tried to defy Nature,

bend it to our will.

And Natures been punishing us

for our arrogance ever since.

Ten months ago, I sent out

recon units to look for your base.

My own son was a soldier

with one of the units.

One day he suddenly stopped speaking.

He became primitive, like an animal.

They contacted me,

said that they thought

hed lost his mind,

that the war was too much for him.

Then the man who cared for

him stopped speaking too.

Their medic had a theory,

before he stopped speaking,

that the virus that

almost wiped us out,

the virus that every human

survivor still carries,

had suddenly changed.

Mutated.

And if it spread, it would destroy

humanity for good this time.

Not by killing us, but by robbing

us of the things that make us human.

Our speech,

our higher thinking.

It would turn us into beasts.

You talk about mercy?

What would you have done?

It was a moment of clarity for me.

I realized that I would have

to sacrifice my only son,

so that humanity could be saved.

I held that gun in my

hand for a long time...

And I pointed it at my only child.

He looked at me with

trust in his eyes.

Even in his primitive gaze,

I felt his...

love.

I pulled the trigger.

It purified me.

It made my purpose clear.

I gave orders to kill the

others infected, all of them.

Burn their belongings, anything

that might spread contamination.

Some of the men

questioned my judgment.

I was asking them to

do what I had done,

to sacrifice their friends, their family.

Of course, they refused.

I had them killed too.

Others with children

deserted into the woods.

One of those cowards fled

to my superiors up north.

They tried to convince me

that this plague could

be dealt with medically.

Thats when I realized that they

had learned nothing from our past.

You killed them too?

What did I do, Preacher?

You severed their heads, sir.
