the picture should come out|on that screen over there.

All security forces, alert.|All security forces, alert.

Check out all sections in areas M-5

Apprehend three strangers|you will find there:

one human and two apes

But caution.|I repeat, caution.

If they resist, you may shoot..

but shoot to maim.

We want them alive|for interrogation.

If we shoot, we break|12 years of peace.

Yes, it has been rather|boring, hasn't it?

My mother.|- Who won your war?

It wasn't our war.|It was the gorillas' war.

The date meter on the spaceship-

What did it read|after Earth's destruction?

And you talk to your pupils...

about eternity

There are only three.

There must be more,|the question is how many?

That's the question we'll have|answered when we get them.

My father.

That's my father.

How did apes first acquire the power of speech?

They learned to refuse

On a historic day,|there came an ape who spoke a word..

which had been spoken to him|time without number by humans.

He said, "No."

No wonder all of mankind|thirsted for my blood...

and wanted my birth aborted.

In the year 3950,|apes will destroy the Earth.

Not apes, gorillas

Besides, that's only one future.

How can there be more than one?|- You remember the old motorways?

I believe that time is like|an endless motorway...

with an infinite number of lanes|all running from the past into the future.

It follows that a driver will try|to change his lanes...

and change his future.

If you left this room right now...

you might wind up shot dead

If you left a minute later,|you might survive.

It's a blind choice..

but you can change lanes.

I know what it is I want to change.

The camera. It moved

Are you sure?

Virgil's right

Governor, we just lost the TV monitor.|Our A-41 archive.

I'm not interested|in equipment failures.

It wasn't a failure.|It was destroyed, sir.

Whoever or whatever|is down here...

Now knows we are too now.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. If they haven't|plugged into the control...

we still have time to go to work.

Even if they do plug in, they|may think it's malfunctioning.

We've got to find another way out of here.|- Is there another way?

They got past you? Then shoot on sight

Never mind about bringing them here.

Just get them.|Don't let anyone escape alive!

Sections 2-5...

and R-7 and 8, form a group here.

Quick! Quick!|All right. Move out! Move!

Move! Move!

Hurry! Run!

Run!

All right, you've got your guns.

We need another patrol quickly.|Quickly, men. Hurry. Hurry.

All the rest of you|take your weapons and go to M-5.

Go, go! What are you waiting for?

To R-8, through the transverse!

All forces into Exit Level 3.

They're getting away.|Kill them.
