If we must.

Ape home.

Human home.

Do not come back.

Everyone!

Everyone, you have to calm down!

Everybody.

Everybody!

Please! We're all immune!

We're all immune,

or we wouldn't still be here!

How did they find us?

We found them.

- You knew they were out there!

- What if they come back?

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 recognize 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.

So, what do we do now?

Yeah!

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 rebuild...

And reclaim...

The world we lost.

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. 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 want to 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 armory.

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 is 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.
