[Announcer] Return to the Planet of the Apes.

[ Vehicles Rumbling]

The caverns must be in this sector, General Urko.

If you’re right, we will soon find the Underdwellers and destroy them.

Jeff, we've searched a 50-mile radius from the humanoids' caves...

and found no habitable areas.

It sure is bleak country.

Think we can get back to the caves before nightfall?

- [ Vehicles Rumbling] - Hold it.

What's that?

It's the humanoid who escaped. After him!

Looks like a dust storm.

It's an armored column.

Quick. Get down before they spot you.

Ha! An unexpected bonus-- the escaped humanoid.

A price on his head and this time, there is no escape.

- They're getting closer. - They must have spotted me.

If they have, we're finished

Not without a fight.

[Urko]He's behind those rocks. Soon we’ll have him.

General Urko, should not this discovery be reported to Dr. Zaius?

I suppose we must.

Armored Detachment Command calling Base Command.

- [Jeff] They know we're here. - Yes, but wait.

I'm the only one they've seen.

- I'll try to lead them away. - You wouldn't have a chance.

No, but you will.

Hold it. What's that?

[ Loud Rumbling ]

[Bill] Look!!Mountains from nowhere!!

[Jeff] But how?

Halt the column!

- [ Urko ] Mountains? - Where did they come from?

The Underdwellers and their cursed tricks!

Someday, they will pay.

- [Rock Crating] - Look.

Those mountains aren't here to protect us,Jeff.

Right. They're here to shield this thing.

It stopped Let's take a look.

I can't see anything. Can you?

What's that?

Bill, the mountains-- They're disappearing.

Good. We'll have the humanoid soon. Start your engines!

- [ Bill ] The hole. Come on. - We don't know what's down there.

[ Engines Starting ]

But we do know what's up here.

Come on,Jeff. It's closing.

[Urko] The humanoid!He's disappeared!

[Mountains Rumbling]

[Brakes Squeal]

- But where? - I don't know.

Forward to the caverns!!

[ Whirring ]

[Bill] It's a long way down.

[Jeff] we Mayas well start.

It's some kind of reflector.

Yes. An energy system.

The apes could never have engineered this.

Then who did?

[Bill] It's metal-- a pipe of some sort.

[Footsteps Running]

Incredible.

[Bill] It's the ruins of an ancient civilization.

[Jeff] It must be thousands of years old

[ Bill ] Wait a minute. That's English.

"New York Public Library."

Jeff! This is Earth!

We've come 2,000 years into our own future.

This ancient civilization-- It's ours!!

What could have happened?

We're back on Earth,Jeff

Something in our own future must have gone wrong.

Somehow, 2,000 years from you and me:.

the apes have taken over the planet!!

The specific gravity of the liquid--

- [Door Opens] - [Zaius]Ah, my children, I see you're hard at work.

I have good news from General Urko.

He has sent us a report...

that he has located the humanoid you call Blue Eyes.

I hope Blue Eyes can be returned to us safely. He was so smart.

Then he has a chance to be proven innocent...

of the charge that he possesses language.

If he can speak, he must die.

It is written.

Children, your studies are so important to you.

But I must be concerned about practical matters.

- But, Dr. Zaius-- - [Ape]Dr Zaius, another report from General Urko.

The humanoid has disappeared.

Urko thinks he's in the hands of the Underdwellers.

I will see about this.

Cornelius, I've been thinking.

Why is Dr. Zaius so worried about Blue Eyes possessing language?

- What is he afraid of? - I don't know.

But I'm wondering if we did the right thing in helping him to escape?

But perhaps we could have protected him here.

And perhaps not. No, Zira.

He has a better chance out there, among his own.

I'll bet some of this subway equipment could still work.

- [Jeff] Listen. - [Footsteps Approaching]

[Bill] Quick. Into that subway car

[ Buzzer Buzzes ]

Humans?

Maybe. Some form of humans.

Whatever they are, they went through here.

So will we.

[Generator Humming]

It's huge.

Look down there.

It's a power plant of some kind.

They must draw power from the reflector we saw.

They're highly intelligent to have created all of this.

Intelligent, yes. But are they friendly?

[ Clangs ]

What's that?

[Chanting] Usa!!Usa!!Usa!!Usa!!

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!

Usa! Usa! Usa!

- [Chanting Continues] - They're leaving. Let's get a closer look.

The whole complex seems to be connected to this module.

It's like a throne,Jeff

And these are the output cables.

[Bill] Come on.

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!

[ Chanting Continues ]

[ Chanting Continues ]

[ Chanting Continues ]

[Bill] It's Judy.!

- Judy! - Judy! It's us!

[Chanting Stops]

Hey, Judy.

It's us-- Bill and Jeff.

[Moaning]

[ Moaning Continues ]

I am Krador...

leader of the Underdwellers.

Who are the Underdwellers?

When the fires destroyed the Earth long ago...

we sought the safety of the underground

Our ancestors were forced down into the darkness.

We have never returned to the green world above.

But what have you done with Judy?

Our writings told us she would return to fulfill the prophecy.

We observed you when you brought Usa back to us.

They must have made this statue of Judy when we didn't return.

We're trapped by our own past.

[Jeff] That chant-- Here's where it came from.

They call her "Usa."

We must talk with her.

Of course you shall speak with Usa.

- Judy. - Judy, are you okay?

Judy, it's me--Jeff.

Don't you remember?

[ Krador ] You will remain in this cell...

until you have proven your loyalty.

Cell? No bars, no nothing.

- Come on. - Wait.

- [ Knocks ] - A force field.

We'll never get through that.

Your friends would take you away, Usa.

They do not understand the importance of the fulfilled prophecy.

Your arrival gives us hope.

Someday, you will help us return...

to the green world up above.

Your thought is true, O Krador.

And on that day, we will recover our world...

from the hands of the apes.

[Urko] we must find them. Captain,you take Sector 1.

Major, you take Sector 2.

I'll take Sector 5 myself.

General, who is most important?

You want the humanoid or the Underdwellers?

Find one and, I promise, you will find the other.

Move out!

[ Engines Starting ]

What do you think Krador has done to Judy?

Some kind of mind control.

- We've got to get her out. - Right.

But first, we've got to get us out.

[Man's Voice] You will never escape the below world

No one ever has.

No one ever will.

Now they know the power of Krador.

- [ Woman's Voice ] I come to free you. - Judy!

The ring did bring me back to reality.

But I had to pretend to remain Usa...

or Krador would have known.

- You're all right? - Yes.

But Krador's power is very strong.

I s-sometimes--

Judy, what is it?

Nothing. Now quickly.

I will disrupt the main power source.

That will break the force field here.

- How will we know? - The lights here will dim.

Judy, be careful.

Remember, when the lights dim...

it's safe to come through.

- Then meet me in the tunnel - Good luck.

- [ Machinery Whirring ] - [ Generator Humming ]

You! What are you doing?

- Stop! - Don't!

[ Electricity Crackling, Exploding ]

There it is-- a path to the below world.

[ Rumbling ]

[Electricity Crackling]

- The lights. - She did it. Let's go.

Our defenses against the above world are in danger.

Prepare the Chair of Power.

Krador, your power is not limitless.

You will deplete your energies.

I can sustain the defenses for a short time...

until repairs are made.

Prepare the chair.

- What now? - [Bill] That handcar

I'm-- I'm so weak.

- I-- - [Man]After them!!

- That way!Hurry! - All right, let's go.

[ Electricity Crackling, Exploding ]

[ Krador ] Activate the chair.

Hurry with the repairs. Krador has only a short time.

[ Urko ] What is this? Do my eyes deceive me?

Or is it the trickery of the Underdwellers?

I feel so strange.

Hang on,Judy. We're moving.

- The humanoids have escaped! - Stop them!

Faster!

They come. Prepare.

Look out! More of them!

We cannot stop them. They have Usa.

It's up to you, Krador.

Very well.

[Handcar Rumbling]

[Handcar Rumbling]

I feel so weak.

Krador is draining my energy.

Hang on, Judy.

Hit the brakes!

- [ Brakes Squealing ] - No good!

We can't stop!

- The hole-- It disappeared. - If it really was ever there.

[ Moaning ]

Judy! What's happening?

It must be Krador.

Stay with us, Judy. You must.

Bill! Look!

A wall of fire!!

Hold on to Judy.

We made it, but how?

There was no fire. It's all illusion--

generated by Krador and the Underdwellers.

That is their defense.

[Bill] That light means we're free.

[ Bill ] Judy! Judy!

- Don't go! - Don't go!

Never leave us, Usa.

Never, Krador.

This must lead to the surface.

We can't leave Judy.

- [Laser Firing] - There's no other choice,Jeff, for now.

But we'll be back.

[Zira] Cornelius, I hope Blue Eyes is all right.

We helped him to escape.

I hope, wherever he is, there will be others to help him.

Cornelius, could it be that our concern for the humanoid...

goes beyond science?

We'll need help,Jeff. Nova and the others.

Yes, if we can get through to them.
