Rise of the Planet of the Apes Page #6

. . .is as devious, as violent.

You must find this human quickly.

Do not let him get to Calima.

The forbidden area?

Calima holds the secret

to our true beginnings.

Damn them.

I will stop him, Father.

Damn them.

Damn them all to hell.

What is it?

DAENA:

They're to keep us away.

LEO:

What's on the other side?

It leads to the sacred

ruins at Calima.

-What is that?

-Calima? That's where, well. . .

. . .according to our holy writings,

creation began.

Where the Almighty

breathed life into Semos. . .

. . .the first ape.

In the time before time.

It is where Semos will return.

Most educated apes consider

such religious notions as fairy tales.

Metaphors we use to explain our origins.

I doubt if there ever really was a Semos.

LEO:

My crew is there, so we're going.

Doesn't he ever stop?

-They're scared of water?

-We'll cross somewhere else.

No time. Gets dark,

we're going right through.

Semos smiles on me.

I win again.

You win too often.

What's hidden up your sleeve?

All of them.

Cheater!

-Who's in charge here?!

-I am, sir!

-I didn't know--

-This camp is a disgrace.

ATTAR:
Some humans have escaped!

-If they come, we will crush them.

These humans are different.

They travel with apes.

[LAUGHING]

You find this amusing?

No, sir.

I'm assuming command.

This camp will be prepared!

Just grab the reins.

Hold tight. We're gonna

cross the river.

Horses are great swimmers.

They'll carry you across.

Good luck. Have a nice ride.

Leave me. I'll only slow you down.

-Letting him go?

-No. He'll ride with us.

No, wait. Wait. This is suicide.

Only a human would think

that this could work.

[GASPS]

Hear my prayers, Semos,

father of all apes.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

No! No! I'm on your side!

Come on!

[ROARS]

[GASPS]

Come on! We have to swim.

Hey!

I won't let go of you!

Come on!

[GROWLS]

[GROWLS]

No, no, wait. There's no need now.

-Says who?

-Them.

They tried to kill me like

I was nothing but a miserable--

Human?

Ow.

You're hurt.

She was holding on pretty tight.

The soldiers will cross downstream.

We should move quickly!

ATTAR:
They crossed the river.

-You didn't stop them?

ATTAR:

Horses carried them.

Horses?

Our horses, sir.

[CHATTERS]

Forgive me, my friend.

I'm not angry with you.

Father was taken from me.

He was a great leader

and a direct descendant of Semos.

ATTAR:

Now it's time for you to lead.

Form the divisions.

Form divisions!

[CHATTERS]

Full battle ready!

Sound the call to march!

Tomorrow we reach Calima.

He'll stay like that all night.

A soldier, isn't he?

A general. Well, he was

until he opposed Thade.

When Thade ruined his career,

my father took him in.
