Original subtitles

If you have a fever and cough or sore throat, stay home.

I'd say 95% chance this is manufactured.

Came out of a laboratory.

The source of the virus was traced back

to drug testing done at Gen-Sys Laboratories in San Francisco.

The lab technician now known as Patient Zero

was accidentally exposed to retrovirus ALZ-113,

an Alzheimer's trial drug that was being tested on chimpanzees.

The infected chimps showed signs of erratic and aggressive behaviour

that led to their escape from the facility.

The now-famous incident on the Golden Gate Bridge,

a six-hour standoff with police, ended with the apes

disappearing into Muir Woods.

Emergency rooms are being overwhelmed,

with patients showing signs

of what's being dubbed the "Simian Flu."

The CDC is projecting a fatality toll

ranging from five million to as many as 150 million

in the next six to eight months.

Anyone showing signs of a contagious illness

will receive special treatment here,

the airport's purpose-built quarantine centre.

Many of the new arrivals are children

who have lost contact with their parents.

The mandatory quarantines have sparked civil unrest.

Families are being ripped apart. Containment is not very likely.

Prepare your families. Know your evacuation route.

The survival rate is now approximately one in 500.

Violence erupted in the city centre tonight.

The third incident in as many days.

Martial law has been declared in 28 nations,

including the US and Canada.

The reactor is overheating. We can't stop a meltdown.

Just a total collapse of anything resembling civilian order.

Due to the extremity of the Simian Flu crisis,

all regular government functions have been suspended indefinitely.

SHOUTING, GUNFIRE

Those who aren't killed by the virus...

..will probably die in the fighting.

So... maybe this is it.

This is how it ends.

Pretty soon...

..there won't be anyone left.

Malcolm. It's OK.

Put your guns down.

You can't be serious. Do it.

Dad! My bag! Go!

Did you find it?

We need to talk.

What? What's wrong?

The, erm... The dam is pretty much intact.

It can probably start generating power for us within a week.

But there's a problem. Get in.

I shot him. I was scared. I didn't know what to do.

Jesus Christ. How many were there?

There were a lot.

There were, like, 80. At least.

OK, you're not hearing what he's saying. They spoke!

That is not possible.

I'm telling you, Dreyfus, they did. It was incredible.

Incredible? They're talking apes!

With big-ass spears! Please!

I don't know exactly what you think you saw or heard,

but you have to calm down, OK?

What about the virus, Ellie? Any chance of contagion?

We're all genetically immune or we would've been dead a long time ago.

You don't know that for sure.

She worked with the CDC. She knows. What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

We need that power.

He could've killed us, he didn't.

Maybe he kept us alive so they could follow us.

They find out where we are, and they kill us all!

What do you mean, "He"?

That's what we're trying to tell you.

It was unlike anything you've ever seen before, and the leader...

..he was remarkable.

Really? Is that what you thought?

It's what we saw. Yeah, it's what we all saw.

Not a word of this back at the colony, you understand me?

Not a word until we can figure out what to do.

You gotta be kidding.

No, I'm not kidding.

I don't wanna create a panic.

How are you doing, pal? You OK?

I dropped my bag. I know.

Was your sketchbook in there? It's gone.

Carver just told me we're not gonna tell anybody what happened up there.

MAN: How did they find us? CROWD CLAMOURS

We found them. MAN: You knew they were out there!

WOMAN: What if they come back?

CROWD: Yeah! If they come back...

If they come back, they'll be sorry they ever did!

Now, this city may not have the manpower it once did,

but it has the firepower.

Those stockpiles left behind by FEMA, the National Guard,

we have it all.

Look...

..I know why you're scared.

I'm scared, too, believe me.

But I recognise the trust you've all placed in me.

We've been through hell together.

But you all know...

..what we're up against.

We're almost out of fuel.

Which means no more power...

which means we could slip back to the way things were.

That dam up there was the answer.

We just had no idea they were up there, too.

WOMAN: So what do we do now?

CROWD YELLS

We find another way.

Because that power...

is not just about keeping the lights on.

It's about giving us the tools

to reconnect to the rest of the world.

To find out who else is out there

so that we can start to...

to rebuild...

..and reclaim...

..the world we love.

That was a great speech.

There is no alternative power source.

That dam is the only option.

Well, then, we fight them.

We're two weeks away from running out of fuel. Maybe three, tops.

I know. And once that happens...

..I won't be able to go out there with a bullhorn

and calm everybody down.

We need that power to get the radio transmitter working.

It's our only chance of reaching the outside world.

We have to find other survivors. Yeah.

Yeah, there's not that many of us left.

We can't afford any more casualties.

We founded this place, you and I...

I know.

..on the idea that power would lead us back to the life we once had.

If we can't stick together, maybe we can't survive.

I lost everything.

The idea of losing what little I have is...

I wanna go back up there.

Listen to me. Give me three days.

Let me talk to him. If it doesn't work, then we do it your way.

And what if it backfires? What if he gets violent?

I mean, how do you know that he'll even understand you?

He's more than just an ape.

I'm gonna take some men up to Fort Point.

I'm gonna go through the armoury. I'm gonna see what's still working.

Three days.

You're not back in three days, we're going up there

and we're gonna kill every last one of them.

Carver's getting the trucks ready.

He'll be here with Foster and Kemp any minute.

You're really taking Carver? I mean, he shot one of them.

I don't really have any choice.

He used to work at the water department.

He's the only one who knows how the dam works.

Malcolm... what are you gonna do up there?

What are you gonna say?

I'll tell him the truth.

Hope I catch him in a good mood.

You think I'm crazy.

I'm worried.

Yeah, so am I.

I've gone over it in my head.

And I think if I don't at least try this...

..there's gonna be a war.

Take me with you. What if someone gets hurt? You'll need me there.

I love you.

But I need you to stay here.

I don't want Alexander to be alone. I'm coming, too.

Son, it's not safe.

But I'm safer with you than I am down here.

I'm coming. Please.

Show... me.

This is what we used to call a "small hydro".

It was built to service areas to the north of here,

but we've been working to re-route the power lines to the city

because the city used to run off nuclear power,

but that ran out years ago.

So we've been using diesel generators and gasifiers.

But if we can just get this dam working,

then we have a shot at restoring limited power.

Is any of this making any sense to you?

The... lights.

Yes.

The lights.

This is your home,

and I don't wanna take it away from you, I promise.

But if you can allow us, let us do our work here...

You brought others?

I'm not a threat.

If I am, then I guess you can kill me.

He saw things that no kid should see,

and I'm not letting us go back to that.

I know.

I have been trying to get closer to him.

But... You will.

You know the scary thing about 'em?

They don't need power,

Nothing.

Hey, pal. That's their advantage.

That's what makes them stronger.

Malcolm, I'm thinking one of us should stand guard tonight.

With what? They took our guns.

If they wanted us dead, we'd be dead already.

Maybe they're just taking their time.

They killed off half the planet already.

Come on. What?

You can't honestly blame the apes.

Who the hell else am I gonna blame? It was the Simian Flu.

It was a virus created by scientists in a lab.

The chimps they were testing on didn't have a say in the matter.

Spare me the hippy-dippy bullshit.

You telling me you don't get stick to your stomach

at the sight of them?

Huh?

Didn't you have a little girl?
