Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

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 behavior...

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 5 million

to as many as 150 million...

In the next 6 to 8 months.

Anyone showing signs of a contagious illness

will receive special treatment here...

The airport's purpose-built

quarantine center.

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 1 in 500.

Violence erupted in the city center tonight.

The third incident in as many days.

Martial law has been declared in 28 nations...

Including the U.S. 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.

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.

Caesar...

They are close.

Koba!

Now, father?

Son, stay...

Thank you, koba.

Think before you act, son.

Don't feel bad, blue eyes...

Scars make you strong.

Come meet your new brother.

Another son.

Makes me think how far we've come,

Maurice.

Seems long ago.

Still think about them?

Humans?

Sometimes.

Didn't know them like you did.

Only saw their bad side.

Good, bad... doesn't matter now.

Humans destroyed each other.

Apes fight too.

But we are family.

Wonder if they're really all gone.

Ten winters now...

Last two... no sign of them.

They must be gone.

That bear wouldn't get me blue eyes. I'm quick!

Shut up, ash!

Oh, God.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Freeze!

Stay!

Help!

Help!

No!

Hey!

Over here!

I shot him! I shot him.

They shot ash! Shot my son!

Rocket, wait...

We don't mean any harm!

They're apes, man. You think

they understand what you're saying?

Do they look like just apes to you?

Dad.

Malcolm, what are you doing?

- Dad?

- Malcolm.

It's okay.

Put your guns down.

- You can't be serious.

- Do it.

Go!

Holy sh*t.

Okay. Okay, we're going.

Go!

Slowly.

Go, go, go!

My bag!

Go!

Koba!

Follow!

Did you find it?

We need to talk.

What? What's wrong?

The dam is pretty much intact.

It could probably start generating

power for us within a week.

But there is a problem. Get in.

I shot him.

I was scared.

I didn't know what to do.

Jesus Christ.

How many were there?

A lot. Like, 80.

- At least.

- Okay...

You're not hearing what he's saying.

They spoke!

That is not possible.

I'm telling you, Dreyfus,

they did and it was incredible.

Incredible? They're talking apes!

- With big-ass Spears!

- Please!
