[Man]And that completes my final
report until we reach touchdown.

We're now on fullautomatic
in the hands ofthe computers.

I've tucked my crew in
for the long sleep...

a nd I'l l be joining them soon.

I n less tha n a n hou r, we'll finish
our sixth month out of Cape Ken nedy.

Six months in deep space,
by our time, that is.

According to Dr Hasslein 's
theory oftime...

in a vehicle traveling
nearly the speed oflight...

the Earth has aged
nearly 700years since we left it...

wh ile we've aged ha rd ly at a ll.

Maybe so.
This much is proba bly true.

The men who sent us on this journey
are long since dead and gone.

You who are reading me now
are a different breed.

I hope a better one.

I leave the 20th century
with no regrets.

But one more th ing,
if anybody's listening, that is.

Nothing scientific.
It's pu rely personal.

But seen from out here...

everyth ing seems different,
time bends...

space is... bou nd less.

It sq uashes a man's ego.

I feel lonely.

That's a bout it.

Tell me though-

does man,
that marvel of the u niverse...

that glorious paradox
who sent me to the stars...

stil l ma ke war
against his brother...

keep his neighbor's
child ren sta rving?

[Beeping]

[RocketJets Blasting Loudly]

[RocketAccelerating]

[Crashing Sound]

You a ll right?

Stewart?

Stewart-

[LoudScreeching]

We're in the soup. She's sin king.
Dodge, read the atmosphere.

Landon!
Get out a last signa l!

What signa l?

To Earth that we've la nded.

The a ir's okay.

Blow the hatch before
we lose al l ou r power.

- [Flicking Switches]
- It's no use. The power's gone.

Forget it. Abandon ship.

- [Explosion]
- She's sinking.

Going...

going...

gone.

Okay. We're here to stay.

Well, where are we?
Do you have any notions, Skipper?

We're some 3 20 light-yea rs
from Earth...

on an un na med pla net in orbit
a round a star in the constellation of Orion.

Is that close enough for you?

- [Landon] Couldbe Bellatrix
- [Dodge] It's too white forBellatrix

You d id n't have time
to read the tapes.

So you real ly
don't know, do you?

What went wrong?

We weren 'tprogrammed
to landin the water

[ Dodge ] The question is not so much
where we a re, as when we are.

[ Taylor ] All right, we've had enough
sleep to hold us a whi le.

Let's start earning
all that back pay.

Dodge, ru n your soil test.

- Got you r sensors?
- Right.

- Geiger counter?
- Got it.

[Man]
Let's see, one pistol...

twenty rounds ammo,
a medica l kit, ca mera, -9.

We've got food and water enough
for three days.

How long is a day?

That's a good q uestion. Landon.

Hey, La ndon!

Join the expedition.

Sorry. I was thinking about Stewa rt.

- What do you suppose happened?
- Air leak.

- She died in her sleep.
- You don't seem very cut up about it.

It's a little late for a wa ke.
She's been dead nearly a year.

That means we've been away
from Ea rth for 1 8 months.

Our time.

You've gone gray.

Apart from that, you look pretty chipper
for a ma n who's 2,031 years old.

I read the clocks.
They bear out Hasslein's hypothesis.

We have been away from Earth
for 2,000 years...

give or take a decade.

Still can't accept it, h uh?
Time's wiped out everything you ever knew.

It's a ll d ust.

Prove it.

If we can't get back,
it's still just a theory.

It's a fact, La ndon.
Buy it. You'l l sleep better.

Nothing wi ll grow here.
There's just a trace of ca rbohydrates.

- Al l the n itrogen is locked into the nitrates.
- No da ngerous ionization?

No.

Wel l, if there's no life here...

we've got just 72 hours to find it.

That's when the groceries run out.
Let's go.

Which direction?

- That way.
- Any particular reason?

None at a ll.

Come on-

[ Laughing ]

[Laughing Echoing]

[ Both Panting ]

[ Th undercla ps ]

[LoudRumbling]

- [ Panting ]
- Everybody a ll right?

Water check.

Eight ounces.

It doesn't add up.

Th under a nd lightning a nd no ra in.

Cloud cover at night, that stra nge luminosity,
yet there's no moon.

If we cou ld just get a fix.

What wou ld that tell you?

- I've told you where you are a nd when you are.
- All right, a ll right.

You're 300 light-years
from your precious planet.

Yourloved ones are deadandforgotten
for20 centuries.

Twenty centu ries!
Even ifyou cou ld get back...

they wou ld thin k you were someth ing
that fell out of a tree.

Ah, Taylor, qu it riding him.

There is just one reality left-
we are here a nd it is now.

You get ahold of that a nd hang on to it,
or you might as wel l be dead.

I'm prepa red to die.

[ Chuckling ]
He-He's prepared to die.

[ Laughing ]
Doesn't that make you misty?

Cha lk u p another victory
for the human spirit.

Clue me in on something,
will you?

Why did you sign on for this trip?
You volu nteered. Why?

Never mind.
I'll clue you in.

You were the golden boy
of the class of '72.

When they nominated you for the big one,
you could n't turn it down...

not without losing
your Al l-American image.

Climb off, wil l you?

Oh, and the glory.
Don't forget that.

There's a life-size bronze statue ofyou
stand ing out there somewhere.

Oh, it's probably tu rned green by now,
nobody ca n read the na meplate.

But never let it be sa id
that we forget ou r heroes.

Taylor, I'm tel ling you
to climb off my back.

H mm. And there's one last item-
immorta lity.

You wanted to live forever,
didn't you?

Wel l, you da mn nea r made it.

Except for me and Dodge, you've lived longer
than anyone ever born.

And with our lovely
Lieutenant Stewa rt dead...

looks like you're
the last of the line.

You got what you wa nted, Tiger.
How does it taste?

Okay, you read me well enough.

- But why can't I read you?
- Don't bother.

Dodge, there, he's not like me at a ll,
but he ma kes sense.

He'd wa lk naked into a live volca no...

if he thought he cou ld learn someth ing
that no other man knew.

But you- you're no seeker.
You're negative.

And I'm not prepa red to die.

I'd like to know why not.
You thought life on Earth was mea ningless.

You despised people.

So what'd you do?
You ran out.

No. No, it's not like that, Landon.

I'm a seeker too.

But my d rea ms aren't like yours.

I can't hel p thinking
somewhere in the u niverse...

there has to be something
better tha n ma n.

Has to be.

Taylor, over here!

Life.

Where there's one, there's another...

a nd another and another.

Let's find 'em.

Skipper!

Look.

- Scarecrows?
- Let's see.

[ WaterRushing]

To hell with the sca recrows.

Yee-hoo!

Yeah! Yeah! Yea h!

[ Sighs ]

[ Yells ]
Whoo!

Yea! Yea!

Ah!

Taylor.

Look at this.

Taylor, look!

They d id n't leave much,
did they?

Wel l, at least
they haven't tried to bite us.

Blessed are the vegeta rians.

[ Taylor] Theylook more orless human,
but I think they're mute.

We got off at the wrong stop.

You're supposed to be
the optimist, Landon.

Look on the bright side.

If this is the best
they've got around here...

in six months
we'l l be run ning this planet.

[ Laughs ]

Which one was wearing
the strange clothes?

Th is one.

- Will he live?
- I don 't know

Th is beast has lost a lot of blood.

[ Sniffs ]

- There's no probe here. Find one.
- Yes, sir.

Th is place is dirty, Doctor.

Doctor, these anima ls a re dirty.

They stink and they carry
communicable d iseases.

Why aren't they cleaned up
before they're brought here?

[Female Ape]
You don 't soundhappyinyour work.

[Male Ape]
I'm little more than a vet in this laboratory.

You promised to spea k
to Dr. Zaius about me.

I did. You know how he looks down
his nose at chimpanzees.

But the quota system
has been abolished.

- You made it. Why can't I ?
- What do you mea n "made it"?

I'm a n animal psychologist, that's a ll.
We have no authority.

You do a ll right when it comes
to getting space and eq uipment.

That's because Dr. Zaius
realizes ou r work has value.

The foundations of scientific brain su rgery
are being laid right here...

in studies ofcerebralfunctions
ofthese animals.

They're stil l dirty, Doctor.

And their bite is septic.
There, look at that.

Hold his jaw.

- Good morning, Dr. Zira.
- Good morning, J ulius. How's ou r patient today?

No cha nge. The minute you open the door,
he goes into his act.

[Rattling Cage]

Well. And what do
we want this morn ing?

Do we wa nt someth ing?
Come on, speak.

Come on, speak.

Do we wa nt some suga r,
old-timer? H mm?

You couldget hurt doing that, Doctor

Oh, don't be si lly.
He's perfectly ta me.

Ah, they're a ll tame
u ntil they take a chu nk out ofyou.

Wel l, Bright Eyes,
is our th roat feeling better?

[Zira]
Stillhurts, doesn't it?

See, he keeps pretending he ca n ta lk.

[ No Sou nd ]

That Bright Eyes is remarka ble.

He keeps trying to form words.

You know what they say-
"H uman see, hu ma n do."

Now what?

He seems to want something.

[Julius]
I'dbe careful, Doctor

What'd I tell you!
Try that again and I'll break your arm!

[Julius]
Goodmorning, YourExcellency,

[Zira]
Dr Zaius.

[Julius]
Goodmorning, sir

- Open up, please.
- I'm so glad you could come.

Sir, he's over here.

Bright Eyes... show h im.

Go ahead, do your trick.

Speak. Go on, spea k again.

There! Ca n you believe it?

Yes, a musing.
A ma n acting like a n ape.

Dr. Zaius, I could swea r
he's answering you.

He has a defin ite gift for mimicry.

It's most unusual.

He's using that
oldblanket as clothing.

I wonder how he'd score
on a Hopkins ma nual dexterity test?

- An anima l?
- Look!

- He's moving his fingers.
- Onlybecause he sawyou movingyours.

Oh, butperhaps he understood.

Ma n has no u ndersta nding.

He ca n be ta ught a few very simple tricks,
nothing more.

I'm afraid I must disagree.
According to my experiments-

Dr. Zira, I must ca ution you.

Experimenta l brain surgery on these creatu res
is one th ing, and I'm al l in favor of it.

Butyourbehavioralstudies
are something else again.

To suggest that we ca n lea rn a nyth ing
about the simia n natu re...

from a study of ma n
is sheer nonsense.

Besides, man is a nuisance.

He eats up his food supplies
in the forest...

then migrates to ou r green belts
and ravages ou r crops.

The sooner he is exterminated,
the better.

It's a question ofsimian survival.

[Ape]
Is this the oneyou wanted, Doctor?

[Zira]
Ah, yes. Thankyou.

Bright Eyes,
I've got a present for you.

[ Ch uckling ]

[Zira]
Put herin with him.

[ Sniffing ]

[ Sniffing ]

[ Sniffs ]

[ Ch uckles ]

Cornelius, up here.

- Do you have to work tonight?
- No.

Neither do I.
[ Ch uckles ]

- Oh, Cornelius.
- [ Chuckles ]

- There's- There's Bright Eyes.
- H mm?

The one I was telling you about.

What's so specia l a bout him?

Watch. Hello, Bright Eyes.

How's our throat today?

[Cornelius Giggling]

- Look, she remembers!
- Remembers what?

- The blood tra nsfusion.
- Zira, really,

You know they can 't- Hey, Hey, watch out.
Here comes Number One.

Something's bothering him. He's been prying
a round the la b for the last two days.

- Shh, shh, sh h.
- U h, good morning, Dr. Zaius.

- You, uh, know my, uh- Dr. Cornelius, my fiancé.
- Of course.

The you ng a pe with a shovel. I hea r you're
pla nning another archaeologica l expedition.

With the Academy's a pprova l, sir.

- The project will require my support, of course.
- I hope I may count on it, sir

Cornelius, a friendly wa rning.

As you dig for a rtifacts,
be sure you don't bury you r reputation.

- Stop!
- [ Whistle Blowing]

Stop!

[ Whip Cracking ]

[Zira]
Stop! You've hurt him!

- Take him inside.
- [ Whip Cracks]

Cornelius? Cornelius,
ifyou have a moment today...

I'd like to discuss
this expedition ofyou rs in more detail.

Oh, certain ly, sir. I'l l pick up my notes
a nd I'll come right over.

I don't understand
these animal psychologists.

What's Dr. Zira trying to prove?

That man ca n be domesticated.

[ Laughing ]

- What ha ppened?
- Oh, those fools a nd their torches!

- Do you have any ointment?
- I'll see.

I'm sorry, Bright Eyes.

Julius!

I told you what you'd get!

J u lius, don't, don't, don't.
It doesn't matter.

[Zira]
Julius, don't hurt him!

J u lius!

Natura l-born thieves, a ren't they?

Get me a col la r a nd leash.

- I'm taking him out ofhere.
- He's vicious, Doctor

- Besides, it's against the ru les.
- Do as I say!

You- You wou ldn't
hu rt me, wou ld you...

Taylor?

[ Ch uckles ]
It's a stunt.

Ah, h umans can't write.

Dear, you're a scientist.
Don't you believe your own eyes?

Where did you learn
to do this?

"Jefferson Pu blic School."

"Fort Wayne, I ndia na."

Back on that pla net
you say you came from?

U h-huh.

[ Ch uckles ]
Yes, yes.

Maybe he is intelligent,
but he's a lso, uh, crazy.

Cornelius. Cornelius, please.

"Dodge was kil led in the h unt.

What happened to La ndon?"

I don't know.

They fell out of the sky with you?

"Not fell, flew."

Flight is a scientific impossibility.

And even if it weren't, why fly?

Where wou ld it get you?

"Do you have ma ps?"

U h- [ Clears Throat ]
We're here. You were ca ptured here.

You fel l into the water here?

You came ashore,
marchedacross the desert...

mountains...

- many days andnights-
- [ Sighs ]

a nd reached the ju ngle.

Out of the q uestion.

Cornelius, why do you insist
on provoking him?

No creature can su rvive in the Forbidden Zone.
I know. I've been there. I've seen it.

"Then how do you account for me?"

I don't.
And I'm not going to try.

But what about you r theory?

The existence of someone
like Taylor might prove it.

Zira, do you wa nt
to get my head chopped off?

Don't be foolish.
If it's true, they'll have to accept it.

[ Chuckles ]
Oh, no, they won't.

- Oh. Cornelius has developed the most bril
liant hypothesis- - But I'm proba bly wrong.

That the a pe evolved from
a lower order of primate, possibly man.

I n his trip to the Forbidden Zone...

he discovered traces of a cu ltu re
older than recorded time.

- The evidence was very meager.
- You d id n't thin k so then.

That was before Dr. Zaius a nd ha lf
of the Academy said that my idea was heresy.

How can scientific truth be heresy?

What if Taylor is exactly
the proofyou needed? A mutation?

A missing link between
the unevolvedprimate and the ape?

[Bangs Table]

Touchy, isn't he?

H mm. "I am not a missing link."

Wel l, if he were a missing link, the Sacred Scrol ls
wouldn't be worth their parch ment.

Wel l, maybe they're not.

[ Ch uckles ]
Oh, no, tha nk you.

I'm not going to get into that battle.

- Cornelius, show some strength.
- Zira, listen to me!

Now we both have fine futures-

marriage, stimu lating careers.

- I'm up for a raise.
- [Door Opens]

[Cornelius]
Dr Zaius.

Did you forget
our appointment, Cornelius?

Oh, no, sir.
I was, uh, just collecting my notes.

You know Dr. Maximus, of course,
our Commissioner for Anima l Affairs?

Yes, sir. It's a pleasu re
to see you again.

- What is that?
- A ma n, Dr. Maximus.

I know it's a man.
And you know the ru les-

No anima ls a llowed
outside the compound...

a nd, most especially,
not without a leash.

U h, yes, sir. But-But this, uh, creatu re
is a- is a special case.

Why specia l?

U m, we're cond ucting
a new experiment.

Wou ldn't that more properly
be done in your office?

- Yes, sir.
- G uards, retu rn this beast to the compou nd.

What is this?

A toy. It floats on the air.

- Zira.
- Try it.

Nonsense.

[Door Opening]

- What's up, Lieutena nt?
- We're taking N umber Fou r over to su rgery in five min utes.

- Have him ready
- How come?

The beast's throat is nearly hea led.

It's not his throat this time.
The vet's gonna geld him.

[Julius] Dr Zira won 't like it.
She wants thatpair to mate.

These orders come
from Dr. Za ius himself.

There's nothing
she can do about it.

[ Sighs ]

[KeysJangling]

If on ly you knew
what they're going to do. [ Chuckles ]

Stay still now.
Don't give me a ny trou ble.

[ Screams ]

[ Fema le Ape, Gasps ]

[Male Ape]
Weep ifyou must, but make an end ofsorrow

Yes, he has found peace in heaven.

He was a model for us a ll.

A gorilla to remember.

H u nter, warrior...

defender of the Faith...

cherished husba nd, beloved father...

generous master.

Yes.

He was a font of simian kind ness.

The dear departed once said to me-

"I never met a n ape I d id n't like."

- Look! It's a ma n!
- [ Screams ]

I n Heaven's name,

No longer, mada m. He's now in the custody
of the M inistry of Science.

Take you r stin king paws

No one wi ll listen to me.

It's a madhouse!

A madhouse!

[ Panting ]

[ Exha les ]
Now I don't even have you. [ Chuckles ]

I magine me need ing someone.
Back on Earth I never did.

Oh, there were women,
lots of women.

Lots of lovemaking, but no love.

That was the kind of world
we'd made.

So I left because there
was no one to holdme there.

Did I tel l you a bout Stewart?
Now there was a lovely girl.

The most precious ca rgo
we brought a long.

She was to be the new Eve...

with our hot and eager help,
of cou rse.

Probably just as well
she didn't make it this far.

Do you love me, I wonder?

Canyou love, I wonder?

Yeah. You're not as smart
as Stewart...

but you're the on ly girl in town.

Look at that. I-
I taught you to smi le.

- [FootstepsApproaching]

[ Bars Rattling ]

It's been weeks.
What happened?

- Where have you been? Why did n't you come see me?
- Sh h!

- What is this?
- A hearing.

- Be clever. Be q uiet.
- Allrisel

- Be seated.
- [GavelBanging Table]

This adhoc tribunal ofthe NationalAcademy
is now in session.

President of the Academy
presiding.

On myright, Dr Maximus,
Commissioner forAnimalAirs.

And on myleft, Dr Zaius, Minister ofScience
and chiefdefender ofthe Faith.

Andappearing for the state, Dr Honorious,
DeputyMinister ofJustice.

[GavelBangs On Table]

[ Sniffing ]

Baili You had instructions
to clea n up the beast.

All these rags he's wearing
give off a stench...

that's offensive to the dignity
of th is tribunal.

You mayproceed, Dr Honorious.

By you r leave, M r. President,
this tribunal...

has not yet defined the purpose
for this inqu iry.

You asked for the opportunity
to present you r case.

Surely you must know
why you're here.

At the very least, th is man has the right
to know whether there's a charge against h im.

Objection!
Th is exhibit is indeed a man.

Therefore, he has no rights
under Ape Law.

Wel l, Dr. Zira, this is a man,
is it not?

He is un like any man you have ever seen,
as we hope to prove.

Answer the q uestion, Dr. Zira.
Is it a ma n?

U h, sir, perha ps the question
is the point at issue.

Is he a man? Is he a deviate
or a freak of natu re?

- Objection.
- Sustained.

Now, Dr. Zira, in al l fairness,
you must admit...

that the accused is a nonape
a nd therefore has no rights under Ape Law.

Then why is he cal led
"the accused"?

Your Honors must thin k him guilty
of someth ing.

Creature's not being tried,
he's being d isposed of.

It is scientific heresy
that is being tried here.

Wellput, Dr Zaius.
Let us warn ourfriends...

that they endanger their own careers
by defending this animal

[ Taylor ]
Then I'l l defend myself.

Dr. Zira, would you tell...
Bright Eyes to be quiet?

- My name is Taylor-
- Baili Silence the animal.

Wait, let me-
[ Grunts ]

You may proceed, M r. Prosecutor.

Learned judges, my case is simple.

It is based on
our First Article of Faith.

That the Almighty created the a pe
in his own image.

That he gave him
a sou l and a mind.

That he set him apa rt
from the beasts of the ju ngle...

a nd made him
the lord of the planet.

These sacred truths
are self-evident.

The proper study of apes is apes.

But certain you ng cynics
have chosen to study man.

Yes. Perverted scientists who adva nce
an insidious theory ca lled evolution.

Come to the point, Dr. Honorious.

The state charges that Dr. Zira
a nd a corrupt surgeon named Galen...

experimented on this wounded animal...

tampering with his brain
a nd throat tissues...

- to prod uce a spea king monster.
- That's a lie!

- M ind you r tongue, madam.
- Did we create his mind, as wel l?

Not only ca n this man spea k,
he can th in k. He ca n reason.

[ Scoffs ]
That can reason?

With the tribunal's permission, a llow me to expose
this hoax by direct exa mination.

Proceed, Doctor, but
do not turn this hearing into a fa rce.

Tell the cou rt, Bright Eyes,
what is the Second Article of Faith?

I know nothing ofyour culture.
I-I ad mit that.

Of cou rse he doesn't know our cu ltu re
because he cannot think.

Tell us, why a re a ll a pes
created equa l?

- Some apes, it seems, are more eq ual than others.
- Ridicu lous.

Tel l us, Bright Eyes,
why do men have no sou ls?

What is the proof that a divine spark
exists in the simia n brain?

H uh?
[ Scoffs ]

Read th is for me.

Since the defendant has been forbidden
to speak in his own defense...

he req uests that the, uh, following statement
be read into the record.

You, Dr. Cornelius.
Read it.

Yeah. [ Clears Throat ]
"I have come to you...

"from a planet
in a different solar system.

"I a m a n explorer in space"-

Stop right there.
Let me see that pa per.

[ Chuckling ]
It's a joke... in very poor taste.

Is it a joke to seek the truth
a bout this man?

Dr. Zira, you state here that a ship
from outer space...

san k in an in la nd sea
of our eastern desert.

You also state that Bright Eyes
had two intel ligent companions...

- with him at the time of his capture.
- That is his assertion.

M r. President,
in addition to Bright Eyes...

I believe the prosecutor
has reassembled...

al l the surviving h umans
that were ca ptu red in the h unt.

- That's true, Dr. Zaius.
- Very well.

Then I suggest that we go
ta ke a look at them.

[ Taylor]
That's him! That's Landon.

- Which one?
- The tall one in the back.

Do you acknowledge kinship
with any of these creatures?

- With one them, yes.
- Identify him then. Speak to h im.

Landon? La ndon?

Oh, they cut h im.

Did you know a bout this?

No. I swea r.
I never saw this ma n before.

But they-

You did it.
You cut u p his brain, you bloody baboon!

Stop him!

Take him inside!

M r. President,
a word of explanation.

The huma n specimen
you saw outside...

suffered a sku l l fracture
in the course of the h unt.

Two fine veterinary surgeons
u nder my d irection were able to save his life.

But the beast could not speak,
of cou rse. Nor will he ever speak.

You did that to him, da mn you!
You cut out h is memory!

You took h is identity, and that's what
you wa nt to do to me!

Bailiff, gag the anima l!

Damn you!
[ M ued Yel ling ]

May it please the tribuna l,
I for one grant you...

that th is creature ca n not have come
from another planet.

But this much is certain. He does come
from somewhere in the Forbidden Zone.

He's described the region to us and described
it accurately, for... I have been there.

- You've visited the Forbidden Zone?
- Yes, sir

A-A year ago- with the specia l permission
of the Academy.

He exceeded h is orders.
H is travel permit was ca nceled immediately.

Yes, sir, that is true. Tha nks to you.
But not before I discovered evidence...

of a simian cu lture that existed long
before the Sacred Scrol ls were written.

Objection! These rema rks
a re profane and irrelevant.

Sustained. Your archaeologica l theories
have no bea ring...

on the d isposition
of this creatu re.

Let them ta lk, M r. President.
Let them ta lk.

Sirs, ou r theories have
a bearing on his identity.

- [ President ] How so?
- Let us assu me, as common sense dictates...

that the prisoner's story
is false.

But if he did not come
from a nother pla net...

then su rely
he spra ng from our own.

Yes, sprang!

As an animalpsychologist,
I have foundno physiological defect...

to explain why h umans are mute.

- Objection!
- Sustained!

[Zira]
Theirspeech organs are adequate.

The flawlies not in anatomy,
but in the brain.

- [Honorious] ObJection!
- Sustained!

Sustain a ll objections,
but face the truth.

Yes. Behold this marvel,
this living pa radox.

This missing lin k
in an evolutionary cha in.

Silence! You go too fa r!

[Zaius]
I think an indictment is in order

Yes, sir. The state cha rges Dr. Zira
a nd Cornelius with contempt of this tribunal...

ma licious mischief
a nd scientific heresy.

It's so ordered.

This tribuna l will examine
a l l the evidence presented here...

a nd in due cou rse, render its verd ict
as to the proposed indictment...

andas to the disposition
ofthe deviate in question.

This hearing is adjourned

[Zaius]
Wait outside.

Wel l, the verdict is in.

At the moment,
your two simian friends...

and sponsors
a re free on bail.

But they'll soon
be brought to trial for heresy.

- What about me?
- [ Ch uckles ] You r case was preordained.

I n a way, you did
the state a service...

because you made it possible
for us to expose Zira and Cornelius.

Now the tribunal
hasplacedyou in my custody..

For fina l disposition.

- You realize what that means?
- No.

Emasculation, to begin with.

Then experimentalsurgery
on the speech centers- on the brain.

Eventua l ly, a kind of living death.

However...

I have it in my power
to grant a reprieve.

That is why I su mmoned you
here tonight.

Tell me who and what you really a re
a nd where you ca me from...

a nd no veterinary
sha ll touch you.

I told you that
at that hearing of yours.

You lied!

- Where is your tribe?
- My tribe. [ Scoffs ]

They live on another planet
in another sola r system.

Even in you r lies,
some truth slips through.

That mythical community you're supposed
to come from, Fort Wayne.

- What about it?
- A fort!

U nconsciously, you chose
a name that was belligerent.

Where were you n urtured?

Then you don't believe
that prosecutor's charge...

- that I'm a monster created by Dr. Zira?
- Certain ly not.

U h, you're a mutant.

That's what Zira and Cornelius cla im.
You're talking heresy, Doctor.

- H mph. Of course.
- Wel l, suppose I a m a muta nt?

How ca n the appea rance
of one mutant send you into a pa nic?

Because you're not u nique.
There's the one you call Landon.

- Oh, then you ad mit that-
- I admit that where there's one mutant...

there's proba bly another and a nother
a nd another- a whole nest of them.

Where is your nest, Taylor?

- Where a re you r women?
- Thank you.

Tha n k you for cal ling me
Taylor, Dr. Zaius.

I know who I am.
But who a re you...

a nd how in hell did this upside-down
civilization get sta rted?

[ Grunts ]
You may well ca ll it upside-down...

since you occu py its lowest level-
and deserved ly so.

Ou r eastern desert
has never been explored...

beca use we've a lways assu med that life
can not exist there.

Taylor, save yourself.

Tell me, is there a notherjungle
beyond the Forbidden Zone?

[ Sighs ]
I don't know.

Ifyou're trying to protect others
ofyou r kind, it'll cost you your identity.

I'm not protecting a nyone.
Th is whole thing is insane. What have I done?

You are a menace.
A wa lking pestilence.

I do know
whoyou are, Taylor

I'l l give you just six hours
to ma ke a fu ll confession.

After that, I sha ll use su rgery
to obta in one. G uards!

Al l right, you can cut pieces out of me.
You've got the power.

Return this creatu re
to h is cage.

But you do it out of fear.
Remember that!

Remember that! Beca use you're afraid
of me! What are you afraid of, Doctor?

[ Rattling Door ]

- Are you J u lius?
- Who a re you?

I'm from the office
of An ima l Affairs.

That male is to be
transferred to the zoo.

At this hour?
Who says so?

Don't they tell you anything?

The Antivivisectionist
Society is up in a rms.

They're gonna save this beast
from those butchers in the lab.

If he can speak,
he belongs in the pu blic zoo.

But what'll probably happen is that some
money-mad grown-up will put him in a circus.

- Then we'll have to pay to see what rightfu lly-
- Stop ma king speeches...

a nd show me the order.

[PaperRustling]

[ No Aud ible Dia logue ]

Ha, th is order's no good.

It must be countersigned
by Dr. Zaius.

Grab him!

- Who are you?
- So you can ta lk. I'm Dr. Zira's nephew.

This abduction was her idea.
You're not rea l ly going to the zoo.

That'sJust ourstory
in case somebodystops us.

Get me out of this.

We've gotta move fast.

- She comes along too.
- Zira doesn 't wantyour female.

- I wa nt her.
- If you insist.

- But I'm not taking a ny orders.
- All right. Come on.

Let's go.

- I told you not to bring the other one!
- He wouldn't leave her.

Oh, al l right.
Come on!

- Here, put this on. Come on.
- Don't you have a ny clothes for me?

What do you expect,
an ape's new suit?

- This stuff stin ks.
- Wel l, so do you, like a ll men.

Taylor, remember,
a l l men look a like to most apes.

So put it on a nd keep q uiet,
a nd we may just get away with this. H u rry!

Cornelius!

- How'd it go?
- Hey!

Come on.
Let me out ofthis.

Well, Taylor,
we're a ll fugitives now.

Do you have any weapons,
any guns?

- The best. But we won't need them.
- I'm glad to hea r it.

I want one a nyway.

Now look here, Taylor,
I'm in cha rge of th is expedition.

- Good for you. But you're not in cha rge of me.
- [ Cocks Gu n ]

Not anymore.
I don't plan to be ca ught again.

As you wish.

Dr Zaius seemed to think there was
anotherjungle beyond the Forbidden Zone.

I'll try for that.
What a bout you?

Cornelius a nd I
have been indicted for heresy.

U n less we ca n prove ou r theories,
we don't sta nd a chance of acquittal.

You're going back
to the Forbidden Zone?

We're going back to the diggings
I worked at over a yea r ago.

It's a th ree-day ride
across the desert...

and near the place where you claim
you landed from that pla net ofyours.

Stil l don't believe me, do you?

It's a long detour to Dead Lake.
What wou ld we find?

Nothing much. An empty ru bber life raft.
Maybe a little flag...

the emblem of my countrymen.

The terrain around
that lake ispoisonous.

There's no fresh water,
no vegetation, nothing.

Anyway, I ought to thank you
for saving me. You'l l be in trouble for that.

We've been in trouble
since the moment we met you.

- What's she pointing at?
- Th is must be close to home for her.

She knows it.

Nova, no. Nova. Nova!
You ca n't go there.

It's not safe. Nova.

We better get sta rted.

If the mounted police pick u p ou r trail,
they'll come this far at least.

Right. Let's get the water
a nd provisions into the wagon.

[ Taylor]
Cornelius.

Where does this river lead to?

It flows into a sea
some miles from here.

- That's where we'l l find the diggings.
- And beyond that?

I don't know. You can't ride a long
the shore at high tide...

a nd we had no boats
on our last expedition.

You never told me, why do you cal l
th is a Forbidden Zone?

No one knows.
It's an ancient taboo...

set forth in the Sacred Scrolls.

The Lawgiver pronounced
this whole a rea dead ly.

- Shouldn't we be moving on?
- I'm for that.

There, do you like it?

Why d id you do that,
scrape offyour hair?

I n my world- when I left it-
on ly kids you r age wore bea rds.

Beards?
I don't go in for fads.

Somehow... it makes you
look less intelligent.

When wi ll you show me
what's in that cave?

Right now, ifyou like.

Cornelius!

- Lucius, don't fire at them.
- You're a ll u nder arrest.

Ifthere's anymore shooting,
Dr Zaius, you'llbe the first to go.

- You can cou nt on it!
- Taylor, you are not in comma nd here.

- Put down that gun.
- Shut up!

Very well.
Lower your wea pons.

Tell them to pullback
around the rocks. Out ofrange.

Withd raw!

- How did you know we'd come here?
- It wasn't d ifficu lt.

On ly a n apostate
wou ld flee to the Forbidden Zone.

And only a fool
wou ld give a gun to a n animal.

I see you've brought
the fema le of your species.

I didn't realize
that man cou ld be monogamous.

On this planet, it's easy.

I'll ask you to reconsider
the rash cou rse you've undertaken.

Ifyou're convicted of heresy,
the most you'll get is two years.

But, if you persist in pointing gu ns
in my direction, you'll hang for high treason.

We never meant
to be treasonous, sir.

But u p there in the face of that cliff,
there is a vast cave...

a nd in that cave a fabulous treasu re
of fossi ls and a rtifacts.

I've seen some ofyou r fossils a nd artifacts.
They're worth-

There's your M inister of Science...

honor-bou nd to expand
the frontiers of knowledge.

- Taylor, please!
- Except that he's a lso ch ief defender of the Faith.

There is no contradiction
between faith a nd science. True science.

- Are you willing to put that statement to the test?
- Taylor, I wou ld much rather-

Take it easy. You saved me from
this fa natic. Maybe I can return the favor.

What is your proposa l?

When were those SacredScrolls
ofyours written?

- Twelve hu ndred yea rs ago.
- All right.

Now, if they can prove those scrolls
don't tell the whole truth of your history...

if they ca n find some rea l evidence
of another cu ltu re...

from some remote past,
wi ll you let them off?

- Of cou rse.
- Let's go up to the cave.

Sorry, Lucius, you've got to stay here
and guard the camp.

Always giving orders,
just like every other adu lt.

Relax, you'll get
to see it a l l later on.

Present your evidence, Cornelius.

It was at this level that I discovered
traces of an ea rly ape creatu re-

a stage of primitive ba rbarism,
real ly, dating back some 1 ,300 yea rs, rough ly.

It was at this level I discovered
cutting tools a nd a rrowheads of qua rtz...

a nd the fossilized bones
of carnivorous gorillas.

But the a rtifacts lying here...

were found at this level...

and date back,
uh, 700 years earlier.

That's the paradox. For the more
a ncient culture is the more adva nced.

Now, admitted ly,
many of these objects a re unidentified.

But clearly, they were fashioned
bybeings with a knowledge ofmetallurgy,

I ndeed, the fact that
many of these tools are u nknown to us...

suggests a cu ltu re which,
in certain ways, eq uals our own.

Some of the evidence
is u ncontestable.

Don't speak to me in a bsolutes.
The evidence is contesta ble.

- I apologize, sir.
- To begin with...

your methods of dating
the past are crude, to say the least.

There a re geologists on my staff
who'd laugh at your specu lations.

- But there's the doll, sir.
- What?

Oh, u h, lying right there.
The h uman doll.

What does this prove?
My gra ndda ughter plays with hu ma n dolls.

The doll was found
beside the jawbone of a man...

a nd no trace of simia n fossil
has been fou nd in this deposit.

You r conclusion is premature.

Have you forgotten your scriptu re?
The 1 3th Scroll?

"And Proteus brought
the upright beast into the ga rden...

and chained him to a tree,
a nd the children did make sport of h im."

No, sir,
I have not forgotten.

Wel l, for a time, the ancients
kept humans as household pets...

u ntil our Lawgiver
proved that man cou ld not be tamed.

Keep d igging, Cornelius.

You'l l find evidence
of the master of this house- a n ape.

- What a re you doing?
- Reconstructing a past life.

You say these th ings were
found at the same level as that dol l?

Whoever ownedhim
must have been in prettybadshape.

He wore false teeth
and eyeglasses.

He hada failing heart.

Towards the end he had
this prefabricated valve put in it.

I don't say he was a ma n
like I knew at home...

but he must have been a close relative
beca use he had all the sa me weaknesses.

He was a wea k, fragile animal.

But he was here before you,
a nd he was better tha n you are.

That's lunacy.
I can offer a lternate descriptions...

of every one of those articles
wh ich is just as ingenious as yours.

But it'd be conjecture.
Not proof.

[ Doll ]
Mommy.

[ Doll ]
Mommy.

Dr. Zaius, would an ape
make a h uman doll that tal ks?

- [Gunshot]
- Lucius!

[Gunshot]

You dirty- Nova!

[Gunshots Continue]

- Nova!
- [Gunshot]

[Gunshots]

[ Weakly ]
Cornelius. Zira.

Help me.

[ Doll ]
Mommy.

I ought to kil l you right now.
Come on.

You tell him to pull back now!

Cease fire! Withdraw!

- U p there.
- Withdraw!

Get down.

Lucius, a re you a ll right?

They took me by su rprise.

Sneaked up on me
while I was feeding the horses.

What's ha ppened to honor?

I got off two rounds
to wa rn you.

- They've taken everything.
- Not quite everything.

They left a hostage behind.

- How are you feeling?
- Disillusioned.

- You can't trust the older generation.
- I know what you mean.

I want you to go arou nd the rocks
and tell those gorillas...

- I've got Dr. Zaius prisoner.
- Yes, I ca n do that.

I want a horse, food and water.

Enough for a week for me and
this fema le... a nd 50 rounds of a mmunition.

- What if they won't agree to your terms?
- Tell them I'll shoot him.

- Taylor, you ca n't.
- Ah, yes, he can.

He's a born killer.

Deliver the message.

Over here.

Sit down.

Taylor, please.
Don't treat h im like that.

- Why not?
- It's hu mi liating.

The way I was hu miliated...
by a ll ofyou?

You led me arou nd on a leash.

That was different.
We thought you were inferior.

Now you know better.

Cornelius was right, Doctor.
He proved it.

Ma n was here first. You owe him
you r science, your cu ltu re...

whatever civilizationyou've got.

Then answer me this.
If man was superior, why didn't he survive?

Wiped out by a plague.
Some natural catastrophe, a storm of meteors.

From the looks of some parts of this planet,
I'd say that was a fa ir bet.

- But we can't be sure.
- He is.

He knew all the time.
Long before you found your caves, he knew.

Defender of the Faith.
G uardian of the Terrible Secret-

- That's it, isn 't it, Doctor?
- What I know of ma n was written long ago...

set down by the greatest a pe
of al l, our Lawgiver.

Cornelius, come here.

Reach into my pocket.

Read to h im
the 29th Scrol l, sixth verse.

"Bewa re the beast ma n,
for he is the devil's pawn.

"Alone among God's primates,
he kills for sport...

"or lust or greed.

"Yea, he will mu rder his brother
to possess his brother's land.

"Let him not breed
in great numbers...

"forhe willmake a desert
ofhis home andyours.

"Shu n him.
Drive him back into his ju ngle lair...

for he is the ha rbinger of death."

I found nothing in the cave
to alter that conception of man...

a nd I stil l live by its injunction.

[ Taylor ]
That's fa r enough.

They think
you're behaving foolishly.

I must say I agree.
Where wi ll you go?

To sta rt with,
I'l l fol low the shoreline and my nose.

But su ppose you find noth ing but wasteland?
How will you su rvive?

He won't survive.

Nova.

How 'bout coming a long?

- We can't.
- It's better tha n going to jail for heresy.

Oh, they ca n't convict us of heresy.
You've helped prove our innocence.

Besides,
his cu ltu re is our culture.

Wel l, good luck then.

Lucius.

I still say you're ma king a mistake.

- That's the spirit. Keep 'em flying.
- What?

The flags of d iscontent.
Remember, never trust anybody over 30.

Doctor, I'd like
to kiss you good-bye.

All right, but...
you're so damned ugly.

Don't try to follow us.
I'm pretty ha ndy with this.

Of that I'm sure.

Al l my life
I've awaited your coming...

a nd d readed it,
like death itself.

Why? I've terrified you
from the first, Doctor. I stil l do.

You're afraid of me
a nd you hate me. Why?

Because you're a man.

And you're right,
I have a lways known a bout man.

From the evidence,
I believe his wisdom...

must walk ha nd in hand
with his idiocy.

H is emotions must
ru le his brain.

He must be a warlike creatu re who gives battle
to everything arou nd him- even himself.

What evidence?
There were no weapons in that cave.

The Forbidden Zone
was once a pa radise.

You r breed made
a desert of it ages ago.

It stil l doesn't
give me the "why."

A planet where apes
evolved from men?

- There's gotta be a n a nswer.
- Don't look for it, Taylor.

You may not like what you find.

U ntie me!

No, no, no. Wait! Wait!

Let him go.

Lieutenant, fetch our explosives.

- We're going to sea l up the cave.
- Yes, sir.

- Sea l the cave?
- That is correct, a nd you wil l both stand tria l for heresy.

- But the proof, the doll.
- I n a few min utes, there will be no doll.

There ca n't be. I'm sorry.

Dr. Zaius.
Dr. Zaius, you mustn't. You promised.

What I do, I do with no pleasure.
Si lence him.

Doctor.

Dr. Zaius, this is inexcusable!

Why must knowledge sta nd stil l?
What about the futu re?

I may just have saved it for you.

What wi ll he find
out there, Doctor?

H is destiny.

Oh, my God! I'm back.

I'm home.
Al l the time, it was-

We finally, really didit.

You maniacs!

You blew it u p!
Oh, damn you!

God damn you al l to hel l!
