Planet of the Apes

en
00:00:18 And that completes my final report
00:00:22 We're now on full automatic,
00:00:26 I've tucked my crew in for the long sleep
00:00:28 and I'll be joining them
00:00:31 soon.
00:00:33 In less than an hour we'll finish
00:00:37 Six months in deep space.
00:00:40 By our time, that is.
00:00:42 According to Dr. Hasslein's theory of time in a
00:00:48 the Earth has aged
00:00:52 while we've aged hardly at all.
00:00:57 It may be so.
00:00:59 This much is probably true.
00:01:01 The men who sent us on this journey
00:01:05 You who are reading me now
00:01:09 I hope a better one.
00:01:11 I leave the 20th century with no regrets, but...
00:01:15 one more thing.
00:01:17 If anybody's listening, that is.
00:01:19 Nothing scientific. It's... purely personal.
00:01:24 Seen from out here,
00:01:27 everything seems different.
00:01:29 Time bends.
00:01:31 Space is... boundless.
00:01:33 It squashes a man's ego.
00:01:38 I feel lonely.
00:01:48 That's about it.
00:01:51 Tell me, though...
00:01:54 Does man, that marvel of the universe,
00:01:57 that glorious paradox
00:02:01 still make war against his brother,
00:02:05 keep his neighbor's children starving?
00:06:56 Are you all right?
00:07:05 Stewart?
00:07:10 Stewart?
00:07:29 We're in the soup!
00:07:31 She's sinking! Dodge, read the atmosphere!
00:07:48 Landon, get out a last signal!
00:07:52 What signal?
00:07:54 To Earth! That we've landed!
00:08:36 The air's OK!
00:08:39 Blow the hatch before we lose all our power!
00:08:50 It's no use! The power's gone!
00:08:52 Forget it! Abandon ship!
00:10:36 She's sinking.
00:10:41 Going...
00:10:45 Going...
00:10:50 Gone.
00:10:55 OK. We're here to stay.
00:11:10 Well, where are we?
00:11:12 Do you have any notion, skipper?
00:11:14 We're some 320 light years from Earth
00:11:17 on an unnamed planet in orbit
00:11:22 Is that close enough for you?
00:11:25 That could be Bellatrix.
00:11:28 It's too white for Bellatrix.
00:11:30 You didn't have time to read the tapes.
00:11:33 So you really don't know, do you?
00:11:36 What went wrong?
00:11:38 We weren't programmed to land in the water.
00:11:41 The question is not so much
00:11:45 We've had enough sleep
00:11:48 Let's start earning all that back pay.
00:12:27 Dodge, run your soil test.
00:12:32 - Got your sensors?
00:12:34 - Geiger counter?
00:12:39 Let's see. One pistol,
00:12:41 20 rounds ammo, a medical kit, camera, TX9.
00:12:46 We've got food and water
00:12:50 How long is a day?
00:12:52 That's a good question.
00:12:54 Landon!
00:12:56 Hey, Landon!
00:12:58 Join the expedition.
00:13:02 Sorry. I was thinking about Stewart.
00:13:06 Air leak. She died in her sleep.
00:13:09 You don't seem very cut up about it.
00:13:11 It's a little late for a wake.
00:13:14 That means we've been away
00:13:18 Our time.
00:13:21 You've gone gray.
00:13:25 Apart from that you look pretty chipper
00:13:29 I read the clocks.
00:13:33 We have been away from Earth
00:13:36 give or take a decade.
00:13:39 Still can't accept it?
00:13:41 Time's wiped out everything you ever knew.
00:13:45 It's all dust.
00:13:47 Prove it.
00:13:49 If we can't get back, it's still just a theory.
00:13:51 It's a fact, Landon. Buy it. You'll sleep better.
00:13:56 Nothing will grow here.
00:14:00 All the nitrogen is locked into the nitrates.
00:14:03 No dangerous ionization?
00:14:05 No.
00:14:07 Well...
00:14:09 If there's no life here,
00:14:13 That's when the groceries run out. Let's go.
00:14:16 Which direction?
00:14:19 That way.
00:14:21 Any particular reason?
00:14:23 None at all.
00:14:28 Come on...
00:17:13 Everybody all right?
00:17:16 Water check.
00:17:25 Eight ounces.
00:17:33 It doesn't add up.
00:17:35 Thunder and lightning, and no rain.
00:17:38 Cloud cover at night.
00:17:40 That strange luminosity...
00:17:43 If we could just get a fix.
00:17:45 What would that tell you?
00:17:49 All right, all right.
00:17:51 You're 300 light years
00:17:54 Your loved ones are dead
00:17:58 20! Even if you could get back, they'd think
00:18:03 Taylor, quit riding him.
00:18:05 There is just one reality.
00:18:08 You get hold of that,
00:18:11 I'm prepared to die.
00:18:16 He's prepared to die.
00:18:18 Doesn't that make you misty?
00:18:20 Chalk up another victory for the human spirit.
00:18:31 Clue me in on something, will you?
00:18:35 You volunteered. Why?
00:18:37 Never mind. I'll clue you in.
00:18:39 You were the golden boy of the class of '72.
00:18:42 When they nominated you for the big one,
00:18:46 Not without losing your all-American image.
00:18:49 Climb off, will you?
00:18:51 Oh, and the glory. Don't forget that.
00:18:54 There's a life-size bronze statue of you
00:18:58 It's probably turned green by now
00:19:02 But never let it be said
00:19:04 - Taylor, I'm telling you to climb off my back.
00:19:08 Immortality.
00:19:12 Well, you damn near made it.
00:19:14 Except for me and Dodge,
00:19:18 And with our lovely Lieutenant Stewart dead,
00:19:26 You got what you wanted, tiger.
00:19:30 OK. You read me well enough.
00:19:32 But why can't I read you?
00:19:35 Don't bother.
00:19:37 Dodge, there. He's not like me at all.
00:19:39 But he makes sense.
00:19:42 He'd walk naked into a live volcano
00:19:44 if he thought he could learn something
00:19:48 But you... You're no seeker.
00:19:51 You're negative.
00:19:53 - And I'm not prepared to die.
00:19:57 You thought life on Earth was meaningless.
00:20:01 So what did you do? You ran out.
00:20:03 No, no. It's not like that, Landon.
00:20:05 I'm a seeker too.
00:20:08 But my dreams aren't like yours. I can't help
00:20:13 there has to be something
00:20:19 Taylor, over here!
00:20:58 Life.
00:21:14 Where there's one, there's another.
00:21:16 And another and another.
00:21:19 Let's find 'em.
00:23:49 Skipper!
00:23:52 Look!
00:24:09 Scarecrows?
00:24:12 Let's see.
00:24:58 To hell with the scarecrows!
00:26:19 Taylor!
00:26:21 Look at this.
00:26:47 Taylor, look!
00:28:30 They didn't leave much, did they?
00:29:01 Well, at least they haven't tried to bite us.
00:29:04 Blessed are the vegetarians.
00:29:12 They look more or less human,
00:29:14 but I think they're mute.
00:29:25 We got off at the wrong stop.
00:29:30 You're supposed to be the optimist, Landon.
00:29:34 If this is the best they've got around here,
00:34:29 Smile.
00:35:09 Which one was wearing
00:35:12 This one.
00:35:16 Will he live?
00:35:18 I don't know.
00:35:21 This beast has lost a lot of blood.
00:35:29 There's no probe here. Find one!
00:35:32 Yes, sir.
00:35:34 This place is dirty, doctor.
00:35:36 Doctor, these animals are dirty. They stink
00:35:41 Why aren't they cleaned up
00:35:45 - You don't sound happy in your work.
00:35:50 You promised to speak to Dr. Zaius about me.
00:35:52 I did. You know how
00:35:56 But the quota system's been abolished.
00:35:59 - You made it. Why can't I?
00:36:02 I'm an animal psychologist, that's all.
00:36:06 You do all right when it comes to
00:36:09 That's because Dr. Zaius
00:36:12 The foundations of scientific brain surgery
00:36:17 in studies of cerebral functions
00:36:21 They're still dirty, doctor.
00:36:24 And their bite is septic. There. Look at that.
00:36:28 Hold his jaw.
00:36:54 - Good morning, Dr. Zira.
00:36:57 - How's our patient today?
00:36:59 The minute you open the door,
00:37:04 Well!
00:37:06 And what do we want this morning?
00:37:08 Do we want something? Come on. Speak.
00:37:11 Come on.
00:37:12 Speak.
00:37:14 Do we want some sugar, old-timer?
00:37:18 You could get hurt doing that, doctor.
00:37:21 Oh, don't be silly. He's perfectly tame.
00:37:23 They're all tame
00:37:26 Well, Bright Eyes. Is our throat feeling better?
00:37:30 Still hurts, doesn't it?
00:37:32 See? He keeps pretending he can talk.
00:37:39 That Bright Eyes is remarkable.
00:37:41 He keeps trying to form words.
00:37:44 You know what they say.
00:37:52 Now what?
00:37:56 He seems to want something.
00:37:59 I'd be careful, doctor.
00:38:01 What did I tell you?
00:38:02 Try that again and I'll break your arm!
00:38:07 Good morning, Your Excellency.
00:38:10 Dr. Zaius.
00:38:13 Good morning, sir.
00:38:16 Open up, please.
00:38:18 I'm so glad you could come.
00:38:20 Sir, he's over here.
00:38:24 Bright Eyes...
00:38:27 Show him. Go ahead.
00:38:29 Do your trick.
00:38:31 Speak.
00:38:33 Go on. Speak again.
00:38:37 There! Can you believe it?
00:38:40 Yes, amusing.
00:38:42 A man acting like an ape.
00:38:46 Dr. Zaius, I could swear he's answering you.
00:38:51 He has a definite gift for mimicry.
00:38:53 Most unusual.
00:38:56 He's using that old blanket as clothing.
00:38:59 I wonder how he'd score
00:39:03 An animal?
00:39:06 Look!
00:39:07 He's moving his fingers.
00:39:09 Only because he saw you moving yours.
00:39:11 But perhaps he understood.
00:39:14 Man has no understanding.
00:39:17 He can be taught a few simple tricks.
00:39:21 I'm afraid I must disagree.
00:39:24 - According to my experiments...
00:39:28 Experimental brain surgery
00:39:33 and I'm all in favor of it.
00:39:35 But your behavioral studies
00:39:39 To suggest that we can learn anything
00:39:44 from the study of man is sheer nonsense.
00:39:47 Besides, man is a nuisance.
00:39:49 He eats up his food supplies in the forest,
00:39:53 then migrates to our green belts
00:40:00 The sooner he is exterminated the better.
00:40:04 It's a question of simian survival.
00:40:18 Is this the one you wanted, doctor?
00:40:22 Oh, yes. Thank you.
00:40:24 Bright Eyes, I've got a present for you.
00:40:37 Put her in with him.
00:41:31 Cornelius! Up here.
00:41:34 Do you have to work tonight?
00:41:36 No.
00:41:37 Neither do I.
00:41:43 Oh, Cornelius.
00:42:01 There's Bright Eyes.
00:42:04 The one I was telling you about.
00:42:06 What's so special about him?
00:42:08 Watch.
00:42:10 Hello, Bright Eyes.
00:42:11 How's our throat today?
00:42:18 - Look! She remembers!
00:42:21 The blood transfusion.
00:42:23 Zira, really!
00:42:25 You know, they can't... Watch out.
00:42:27 Here comes number one.
00:42:29 Something's bothering him. He's been
00:42:34 Good morning, Dr. Zaius.
00:42:36 - You know my... Dr. Cornelius, my fiancé?
00:42:40 The young ape with a shovel. I hear you're
00:42:45 - With the Academy's approval, sir.
00:42:49 I hope I may count on it, sir.
00:42:51 Cornelius, a friendly warning.
00:42:53 As you dig for artifacts,
00:43:11 Guard!
00:43:13 Guard!
00:43:37 Stop!
00:43:38 You'll hurt him!
00:43:40 Take him inside.
00:43:45 Cornelius! Cornelius,
00:43:48 I'd like to discuss
00:43:52 Certainly, sir. I'll pick up my notes
00:43:56 I don't understand
00:43:59 What's Dr. Zira trying to prove?
00:44:01 That man can be domesticated.
00:44:41 - What happened?
00:44:45 - Do you have any ointment?
00:44:52 I'm sorry, Bright Eyes.
00:45:00 Julius!
00:45:04 I told you what you'd get!
00:45:06 Julius, don't, don't, don't!
00:45:07 It doesn't matter!
00:45:09 Julius, don't hurt him!
00:45:13 Julius!
00:45:20 Natural-born thieves, aren't they?
00:45:35 Get me a collar and leash.
00:45:38 - I'm taking him out of here.
00:45:42 - Besides, it's against the rules.
00:45:55 You... you wouldn't hurt me, would you,
00:46:02 Taylor?
00:46:19 It's a stunt.
00:46:21 Humans can't write.
00:46:23 Dear, you're a scientist.
00:46:25 Don't you believe your own eyes?
00:46:31 Where did you learn to do this?
00:46:37 "Jefferson
00:46:39 Public School."
00:46:47 "Fort Wayne,
00:46:49 Indiana."
00:46:54 Back on that planet you say you came from?
00:47:03 Maybe he is intelligent.
00:47:05 But he is also... crazy.
00:47:07 Cornelius.
00:47:09 Cornelius, please.
00:47:16 "Dodge was killed in the hunt."
00:47:19 "What happened to... Landon?"
00:47:23 I don't know.
00:47:26 They fell out of the sky with you?
00:47:33 "Not fell. Flew."
00:47:35 Flight is a scientific impossibility.
00:47:37 And even if it weren't, why fly?
00:47:41 Where would it get you?
00:47:59 "Do you have maps?"
00:48:15 We're here. You were captured here.
00:48:20 You fell into the water here?
00:48:23 You came ashore...
00:48:25 Marched across the desert?
00:48:28 Mountains?
00:48:31 Many days and nights.
00:48:33 And reached the jungle.
00:48:35 Out of the question.
00:48:40 Cornelius, why do you insist
00:48:43 No creature can survive in the forbidden
00:48:51 "Then how do you account for me?"
00:48:53 I don't.
00:48:55 And I'm not going to try.
00:48:59 But what about your theory?
00:49:03 The existence of someone
00:49:06 Do you want to get my head chopped off?
00:49:09 Don't be foolish.
00:49:12 No, they won't.
00:49:15 Cornelius has developed
00:49:19 But I'm probably wrong.
00:49:21 That the ape evolved from
00:49:24 possibly man.
00:49:26 In his trip to the forbidden zone,
00:49:29 he discovered traces
00:49:33 - The evidence was very meager.
00:49:37 That was before Dr. Zaius and half
00:49:41 How can scientific truth be heresy?
00:49:43 What if Taylor is exactly
00:49:47 A mutation.
00:49:49 A missing link between
00:49:53 and the ape.
00:49:56 Touchy, isn't he?
00:50:00 "I am not a missing link."
00:50:02 Well, if he were a missing link, the sacred
00:50:07 Well, maybe they're not.
00:50:09 Oh, no, thank you.
00:50:13 - Cornelius, show some strength!
00:50:17 Now, we both have fine futures.
00:50:19 Marriage, stimulating careers.
00:50:22 I'm up for a raise.
00:50:25 Dr. Zaius.
00:50:28 Did you forget our appointment, Cornelius?
00:50:31 No, sir. I was just collecting my notes.
00:50:33 You know Dr. Maximus, of course.
00:50:37 Yes, sir. It's a pleasure to see you again.
00:50:40 What is that?
00:50:42 A man, Dr. Maximus.
00:50:44 I know it's a man. And you know the rules.
00:50:48 No animals allowed outside the compound,
00:50:53 Yes, sir, but... but this
00:50:55 creature is a special case.
00:50:58 Why special?
00:51:00 We're conducting a new experiment.
00:51:02 Wouldn't that more properly be done
00:51:06 Yes, sir.
00:51:07 Guards, return this beast to the compound.
00:51:11 What is this?
00:51:16 A toy.
00:51:18 It floats on the air.
00:51:20 Zira...
00:51:22 Try it.
00:51:23 Nonsense.
00:51:41 - What's up, lieutenant?
00:51:45 - Have him ready.
00:51:47 - The beast's throat's nearly healed.
00:51:51 Dr. Zira won't like it.
00:51:55 These orders come from Dr. Zaius himself.
00:52:14 If only you knew what they're going to do.
00:52:19 Stay still now. Don't give me any trouble.
00:52:54 Weep if you must,
00:52:58 He lives again.
00:53:01 Yes, he has found peace in heaven.
00:53:06 He was a model for us all,
00:53:11 Hunter, warrior,
00:53:13 defender of the faith.
00:53:16 Cherished husband,
00:53:18 beloved father,
00:53:21 generous master, yes.
00:53:24 He was
00:53:25 a font of simian kindness.
00:53:29 The dear departed once said to me
00:53:37 Look! It's a man!
00:53:39 In heaven's name! Get rid of that creature!
00:53:42 Catch him!
00:53:47 Catch him! Catch him!
00:55:15 Come on, Quintus.
00:57:24 - Go get him!
00:57:26 - Why did you run away?
00:57:28 I'm in charge of this man.
00:57:30 He is in the custody
00:57:33 Take your stinking paws off me,
00:57:36 you damn dirty ape!
00:57:47 No one'll listen to me.
00:57:52 Only you.
00:57:56 You.
00:57:59 Nova.
00:58:01 You... Nova.
00:58:04 No...
00:58:08 Yeah. Me Tarzan, you Jane.
00:58:18 What are you doing?
00:58:20 Leave her alone,
00:58:21 damn you!
00:58:22 Where are you taking her?
00:58:34 Where are you taking her?
00:58:49 Damn you! You hairy scum!
00:58:52 Shut up, you freak!
00:58:54 Julius, you...
00:58:56 I said shut up!
00:58:57 It's a madhouse!
00:59:00 A madhouse!
00:59:14 Now I don't even have you.
00:59:17 Imagine me needing someone.
00:59:20 Back on Earth I never did.
00:59:24 Lots of... lovemaking, but no love.
00:59:27 That was the kind of world we'd made.
00:59:30 So I left
00:59:32 because there was no one to hold me there.
00:59:35 Did I tell you about Stewart?
00:59:37 Now there was a lovely girl.
00:59:39 The most precious cargo we'd brought along.
00:59:42 She was... to be the new Eve.
00:59:46 With our hot and eager help, of course.
00:59:51 Probably just as well
00:59:57 Do you love me, I wonder?
00:59:59 Can you love, I wonder?
01:00:09 Well...
01:00:11 You're not as smart as Stewart, but
01:00:14 you're the only girl in town.
01:00:22 Look at that. I...
01:00:24 I taught you to smile.
01:01:47 It's been weeks.
01:01:51 Why didn't you come to see me?
01:01:53 - What is this?
01:01:55 - Be clever. Be quiet.
01:02:06 Be seated!
01:02:11 This ad hoc tribunal of
01:02:14 The president of the Academy presiding.
01:02:17 On my right, Dr. Maximus, commissioner
01:02:21 Dr. Zaius, minister of science
01:02:26 And appearing for the state,
01:02:35 Bailiff! Your instructions:
01:02:38 These rags he's wearing give off a stench
01:02:44 of this tribunal.
01:02:54 You may proceed,
01:02:56 - Dr. Honorious.
01:02:59 this tribunal has not yet defined
01:03:05 You asked for the opportunity
01:03:08 Surely you must know why you're here.
01:03:11 At the very least, this man has the right to
01:03:15 Objection!
01:03:16 This exhibit is indeed a man.
01:03:19 Therefore he has no rights under ape law.
01:03:23 Dr. Zira, this is a man,
01:03:25 - is it not?
01:03:29 As we hope to prove.
01:03:31 Answer the question, Dr. Zira. Is it a man?
01:03:35 Sir, perhaps the... question
01:03:39 Is he a man, is he a deviant,
01:03:41 or... a freak of nature?
01:03:43 - Objection!
01:03:45 Now, Dr. Zira, in all fairness,
01:03:48 you must admit that
01:03:51 and therefore has no rights under ape law.
01:03:54 Then why is he called the accused?
01:03:56 Your Honors must think him
01:04:01 The creature's not being tried.
01:04:06 It is scientific heresy that is being tried here.
01:04:09 Well put, Dr. Zaius.
01:04:11 Let us warn our friends
01:04:14 that they endanger their own careers
01:04:19 Then I'll... defend myself.
01:04:25 Dr. Zira, would you tell
01:04:27 Bright Eyes to be quiet?
01:04:30 - My name is Taylor!
01:04:34 Wait! Let me...
01:04:38 You may proceed, Mr. Prosecutor.
01:04:40 Learned judges, my case is simple.
01:04:44 It is based on our first article of faith.
01:04:46 That the almighty created the ape
01:04:50 That he gave him a soul and a mind.
01:04:52 That he set him apart from the beasts of the
01:04:57 These sacred truths are self-evident.
01:05:01 The proper study of apes is apes.
01:05:05 But certain young cynics
01:05:09 Yes! Perverted scientists who advance
01:05:15 Come to the point, Dr. Honorious.
01:05:18 The state charges that Dr. Zira
01:05:22 experimented on this wounded animal,
01:05:25 tampering with his brain and throat tissues,
01:05:30 That's a lie!
01:05:31 Mind your tongue, madam.
01:05:33 Did we create his mind as well?
01:05:36 Not only can this man speak,
01:05:38 he can think! He can reason.
01:05:43 That can reason?
01:05:45 With the tribunal's permission, allow me
01:05:50 Proceed, doctor. But do not
01:06:00 Tell the court, Bright Eyes,
01:06:06 I know nothing of your culture. I admit that.
01:06:09 Of course he doesn't know our culture,
01:06:14 Tell us... Why are all apes created equal?
01:06:19 Some apes, it seems,
01:06:21 Ridiculous!
01:06:22 Tell us, Bright Eyes.
01:06:24 Why do men have no souls?
01:06:26 What is the proof that a divine spark
01:06:40 Read this for me.
01:06:51 Since the defendant has been forbidden
01:06:55 he requests that the following statement
01:06:58 be read into the record.
01:07:01 You read it, Dr. Cornelius. Read it.
01:07:07 "I have, uh, come to you from a planet
01:07:11 "I am an explorer in space..."
01:07:14 Stop right there. Let me see that paper.
01:07:22 It's a joke.
01:07:25 In very poor taste.
01:07:27 Is it a joke to seek the truth about this man?
01:07:30 Dr. Zira,
01:07:31 you state here that a ship from outer space
01:07:37 You state that Bright Eyes had
01:07:41 at the time of his capture.
01:07:43 That is his assertion.
01:07:45 Mr. President,
01:07:47 in addition to Bright Eyes,
01:07:52 all the surviving humans
01:07:55 That's true, Dr. Zaius.
01:07:57 Very well.
01:07:59 Then I suggest that we...
01:08:39 That's him! That's Landon!
01:08:41 - Which one?
01:08:46 Do you acknowledge kinship
01:08:49 - With one of them, yes.
01:08:55 Landon?
01:08:58 Landon.
01:09:04 Oh! They cut him!
01:09:09 Did you know about this?
01:09:11 No. I... I swear. I never saw this man before.
01:09:14 But they...
01:09:18 You did it.
01:09:20 You cut up his brain, you bloody baboon!
01:09:23 Stop him!
01:09:36 Take him inside!
01:10:17 Mr. President, a word of explanation.
01:10:20 The human specimen you saw outside
01:10:23 suffered a skull fracture
01:10:26 Two fine veterinary surgeons under
01:10:31 But the beast could not speak, of course.
01:10:34 Nor will he ever speak.
01:10:36 You did that to him, damn you!
01:10:38 Cut out his memory, took his identity,
01:10:42 Bailiff! Gag the animal!
01:10:44 Damn you!
01:10:48 May it please the tribunal,
01:10:50 I grant you that this creature
01:10:54 But this much is certain. He does come
01:10:58 He's described the region to us and described
01:11:02 You visited the forbidden zone?
01:11:04 Yes, sir.
01:11:06 A year ago.
01:11:08 He exceeded his orders.
01:11:13 Yes, sir. That is true, thanks to you.
01:11:15 But not before I discovered evidence
01:11:17 of a simian culture that existed
01:11:22 Objection! These remarks
01:11:25 Sustained. Your archaeological theories have
01:11:31 Let them talk, Mr. President. Let them talk.
01:11:34 Sirs, our theories
01:11:38 How so?
01:11:40 Let us assume, as common sense dictates,
01:11:44 that the prisoner's story is false.
01:11:47 But if he did not come from another planet,
01:11:50 then surely he sprang from our own.
01:11:54 Yes! Sprang! As an animal psychologist,
01:11:57 I have found no physiological defect
01:12:03 - Objection!
01:12:05 Their speech organs are adequate.
01:12:10 - Objection!
01:12:12 Sustain all objections, but face the truth!
01:12:15 Yes! Behold this marvel!
01:12:18 This living paradox!
01:12:20 This missing link in an evolutionary chain!
01:12:22 Silence there!
01:12:24 You go too far.
01:12:26 I think an indictment is in order.
01:12:28 Yes, sir. The state charges Drs Zira and
01:12:33 malicious mischief, and scientific heresy.
01:12:36 It is so ordered.
01:12:38 This tribunal will examine the evidence
01:12:42 As to the proposed indictment
01:12:46 of the deviate in question,
01:12:48 this hearing is adjourned.
01:13:36 Wait outside.
01:13:48 Well, the verdict is in.
01:13:52 At the moment, your two simian friends
01:13:57 But they'll soon be brought to trial for heresy.
01:14:00 What about me?
01:14:02 Your case was preordained.
01:14:06 In a way, you did the state a service
01:14:09 because you made it possible for us
01:14:13 Now the tribunal
01:14:17 for final disposition.
01:14:21 Do you realize what that means?
01:14:24 No.
01:14:25 Emasculation to begin with.
01:14:28 Then experimental surgery
01:14:30 on the speech centers - on the brain.
01:14:32 Eventually a kind of living death.
01:14:38 However,
01:14:41 I have it in my power to grant a reprieve.
01:14:44 That is why I summoned you here tonight.
01:14:48 Tell me who and what you really are
01:14:52 and no veterinary shall touch you.
01:14:55 I told you that at that hearing of yours.
01:14:57 You lied!
01:14:59 Where is your tribe?
01:15:01 My tribe!
01:15:03 They live on another planet
01:15:07 Even in your lies, some truth slips through.
01:15:10 That mythical community
01:15:15 - What about it?
01:15:17 Unconsciously you chose a name
01:15:21 Where were you nurtured?
01:15:24 Then... you don't believe that prosecutor's
01:15:30 Certainly not.
01:15:34 You're a mutant.
01:15:37 That's what Zira and Cornelius claim.
01:15:41 Of course!
01:15:43 Suppose I am a mutant.
01:15:47 - send you into a panic?
01:15:50 - There's the one you call Landon.
01:15:53 I admit that where there's one mutant,
01:15:58 A whole nest of them.
01:16:00 Where is your nest, Taylor?
01:16:02 Where are your women?
01:16:04 Thank you.
01:16:06 Thank you for calling me Taylor.
01:16:08 Dr. Zaius,
01:16:10 I know who I am.
01:16:13 But who are you?
01:16:15 How in hell did this upside-down
01:16:18 You may well call it upside down,
01:16:22 since you occupy its lowest level.
01:16:24 And deservedly so.
01:16:28 Our eastern desert has never been explored
01:16:32 because we've always assumed
01:16:36 Taylor, save yourself!
01:16:39 Tell me, is there another jungle
01:16:44 I don't know.
01:16:46 If you're trying to protect others of your kind,
01:16:51 I'm not protecting anyone.
01:16:53 This whole thing is insane!
01:17:02 You are a menace.
01:17:04 A walking pestilence!
01:17:06 I do know who you are, Taylor.
01:17:11 I'll give you just six hours
01:17:15 After that I shall use surgery to obtain one.
01:17:18 Guards!
01:17:19 All right. You can cut pieces out of me.
01:17:22 Return this creature to his cage.
01:17:24 But you do it out of fear!
01:17:26 Remember that! Because you're afraid of me!
01:17:52 Are you Julius?
01:17:54 - Who are you?
01:18:00 That male is to be transferred to the zoo.
01:18:03 At this hour?
01:18:05 Who says so?
01:18:06 Don't they tell you anything?
01:18:09 The antivivisectionist society is up in arms.
01:18:13 They're gonna save this beast
01:18:16 If he can speak, he belongs in a public zoo,
01:18:20 is some money-mad grown-up'll put him
01:18:25 Stop making speeches
01:18:43 This order's no good.
01:18:46 It must be countersigned by Dr. Zaius.
01:18:50 Grab him!
01:18:56 Who are you?
01:18:57 So you can talk!
01:19:00 I'm Dr. Zira's nephew.
01:19:03 You're not really going to the zoo.
01:19:05 That's our story if somebody stops us.
01:19:07 Get me out of this.
01:19:11 We've gotta move fast!
01:19:16 She comes along too.
01:19:18 - Zira doesn't want your female.
01:19:22 If you insist, but I'm not taking any orders.
01:19:24 All right. Come on! Let's go!
01:19:48 - I told you not to bring the other one!
01:19:52 Oh, all right. Come on!
01:20:02 - Here. Put this on.
01:20:05 What do you expect? An ape's new suit?
01:20:08 - This stuff stinks!
01:20:11 Taylor, remember,
01:20:14 all men look alike to most apes.
01:20:16 So put it on and keep quiet,
01:21:09 Cornelius!
01:21:19 How'd it go?
01:21:23 Come on!
01:21:24 Let me out of this!
01:21:34 Well, Taylor, we're all fugitives now.
01:21:37 Do you have any weapons? Any guns?
01:21:40 The best. But we won't need them.
01:21:42 I'm glad to hear it. I want one anyway.
01:21:53 Taylor, I'm in charge of this expedition!
01:21:55 Good for you.
01:21:59 I don't plan to be caught again.
01:22:03 - As you wish.
01:22:06 another jungle beyond the forbidden zone.
01:22:09 I'll try for that. What about you?
01:22:11 Cornelius and I have been
01:22:14 Unless we can prove our theories,
01:22:18 You're going back to the forbidden zone?
01:22:20 We're going back to the diggings
01:22:23 It's a three-day ride across the desert.
01:22:25 Near where you claim you landed
01:22:28 - You still don't believe me, do you?
01:22:32 - What would we find?
01:22:34 An empty rubber life raft. Maybe a...
01:22:41 The terrain around that lake
01:22:42 is poisonous. There's no fresh water,
01:22:50 Anyway, I... ought to thank you
01:22:56 We've been in trouble
01:23:02 What's she pointing at?
01:23:04 This must be close to home for her.
01:23:11 Nova, no. Nova!
01:23:14 Nova, you can't go there! It's not safe! Nova!
01:23:20 We'd better get started. If the mounted police
01:23:25 Right. Let's get the water
01:24:37 Cornelius!
01:24:43 Where does this river lead to?
01:24:45 It flows into a sea some miles from here.
01:24:50 And beyond that?
01:24:52 I don't know. You can't ride
01:24:55 and we had no boats on our last expedition.
01:24:58 You never told me -
01:25:03 No one knows. It's an ancient taboo,
01:25:08 The lawgiver pronounced
01:25:13 Shouldn't we be moving on?
01:25:16 I'm for that.
01:26:43 Well? Do you like it?
01:26:50 Why did you do that? Scrape off your hair?
01:26:52 In my world, when I left it,
01:26:57 Beards?
01:26:58 I don't go in for fads.
01:27:01 Somehow
01:27:03 it makes you look less intelligent.
01:27:07 When will you show me what's in that cave?
01:27:09 Right now, if you like.
01:27:30 Cornelius!
01:27:42 - Lucius, don't fire at them!
01:27:49 If there's any more shooting, Dr. Zaius,
01:27:54 You are not in command. Put down that gun.
01:27:57 Shut up!
01:27:58 Very well.
01:28:00 Lower your weapons.
01:28:01 Tell them to pull back around the rocks,
01:28:06 Withdraw!
01:28:12 How did you know we'd come here?
01:28:14 It wasn't difficult. Only an apostate
01:28:19 And only a fool
01:28:23 I see you've brought
01:28:26 I didn't realize
01:28:30 On this planet it's easy.
01:28:33 I'll ask you to reconsider
01:28:36 If you're convicted of heresy,
01:28:42 if you persist in pointing guns in
01:28:47 We never meant to be treasonous, sir.
01:28:49 But up there, in the face of that cliff,
01:28:54 and in that cave a fabulous treasure
01:28:57 I've seen some of your fossils and artifacts.
01:29:01 There's your minister of science.
01:29:03 Honor-bound to expand
01:29:06 - Taylor, please!
01:29:10 There is no contradiction
01:29:14 - Are you willing to put it to the test?
01:29:17 Take it easy. You saved me from this fanatic.
01:29:22 What is your proposal?
01:29:24 When were those sacred scrolls
01:29:27 1,200 years ago.
01:29:29 All right. If they can prove those scrolls
01:29:34 if they can find some real evidence
01:29:36 of another culture from some remote past,
01:29:40 - Of course.
01:29:48 Sorry, Lucius. You've got to stay here
01:29:51 Always giving orders.
01:29:54 Relax. You'll get to see it all later on.
01:30:57 Present your evidence, Cornelius.
01:30:59 It was at this level that I discovered
01:31:04 A stage of primitive barbarism really,
01:31:10 It was at this level... I discovered
01:31:15 and the fossilized bones
01:31:19 But the artifacts
01:31:22 Lying here
01:31:25 were found at this level,
01:31:28 and date back... 700 years earlier.
01:31:31 That's the paradox.
01:31:33 For the more ancient culture
01:31:36 Now, admittedly,
01:31:40 But clearly they were fashioned
01:31:44 Indeed, the fact that many of these tools
01:31:49 suggests a culture which
01:31:53 Some of the evidence is uncontestable.
01:31:55 Don't speak to me in absolutes.
01:32:00 I apologize, sir.
01:32:02 To begin with, your methods of dating
01:32:06 There are geologists on my staff
01:32:10 But there's the doll, sir.
01:32:12 What?
01:32:14 Oh, lying right there. The human doll.
01:32:23 What does this prove?
01:32:29 The doll was found
01:32:32 and no trace of simian fossil
01:32:35 Your conclusion is premature.
01:32:37 Have you forgotten your scripture?
01:32:40 "And Proteus brought the upright beast
01:32:45 - and the children did make sport of him."
01:32:49 Well, for a time the ancients
01:32:54 until our lawgiver proved
01:32:59 Keep digging, Cornelius. You'll find evidence
01:33:05 An ape.
01:33:09 What are you doing?
01:33:11 Reconstructing a past life.
01:33:15 You say these things were found
01:33:19 Whoever owned them
01:33:22 He wore false teeth.
01:33:25 And eyeglasses.
01:33:28 He had a failing heart.
01:33:31 Towards the end, he... had
01:33:38 I don't say he was a man
01:33:40 but he must have been a close relative.
01:33:45 He was a weak,
01:33:47 fragile animal.
01:33:49 But he was here before you
01:33:51 and he was better than you are.
01:33:53 That's lunacy! I can offer alternate
01:33:59 which is just as ingenious as yours.
01:34:02 But it'd be conjecture, not proof.
01:34:05 Mamma!
01:34:13 Mamma!
01:34:17 Dr. Zaius, would an ape make a human doll
01:34:21 that talks?
01:34:27 Lucius!
01:34:31 You dirty...
01:34:33 Nova!
01:34:54 Nova!
01:35:31 Cornelius!
01:35:33 Zira!
01:35:35 Help me!
01:35:39 Mamma!
01:35:47 I oughta kill you right now.
01:35:49 Come on!
01:35:52 Tell 'em to pull back. Now!
01:35:54 Cease fire! Withdraw!
01:35:59 Up there!
01:36:00 Withdraw!
01:36:04 Get down!
01:36:19 Lucius, are you all right?
01:36:21 They took me by surprise.
01:36:23 Sneaked up on me
01:36:27 What's happened to honor?
01:36:30 I got off two rounds to warn you.
01:36:32 - They've taken everything.
01:36:36 They left a hostage behind.
01:36:39 - How are you feeling?
01:36:42 You can't trust the older generation.
01:36:44 I know what you mean.
01:36:46 I want you to go round the rocks and tell
01:36:50 Yes, I can do that.
01:36:53 I want a horse, food, and water.
01:36:57 - And 50 rounds of ammunition.
01:37:01 Tell them I'll shoot him.
01:37:03 Taylor, you can't!
01:37:05 Oh, yes, he can.
01:37:08 He's a born killer.
01:37:10 Deliver the message.
01:37:13 Over here.
01:37:19 Sit down.
01:37:36 Taylor, please! Don't treat him like that!
01:37:40 - Why not?
01:37:44 The way I was humiliated... by all of you?
01:37:47 You led me around on a leash!
01:37:50 That was different.
01:37:53 Now you know better.
01:37:55 Cornelius was right, doctor. He proved it.
01:37:57 Man was here first. You owe him
01:38:01 - whatever civilization you've got.
01:38:05 If man was superior, why didn't he survive?
01:38:09 Wiped out by a plague, some natural
01:38:12 From the looks of some parts of this planet,
01:38:16 But we can't be sure.
01:38:18 He is.
01:38:20 He knew all the time.
01:38:24 Defender of the faith?
01:38:27 - That's it, isn't it, doctor?
01:38:32 Set down by the greatest ape of all,
01:38:35 Cornelius,
01:38:37 come here.
01:38:39 Reach into my pocket. Read to him
01:38:42 the 29th scroll.
01:38:44 6th verse.
01:38:49 "Beware the beast man,
01:38:53 "Alone among God's primates,
01:38:55 he kills for sport or lust or greed."
01:39:00 "Yea, he will murder his brother
01:39:04 "Let him not breed in great numbers,
01:39:07 for he will make a desert
01:39:12 "Shun him."
01:39:14 "Drive him back into his jungle lair."
01:39:16 "For he is the harbinger of death."
01:39:21 I found nothing in the cave
01:39:25 and I still live by its injunction.
01:39:35 That's far enough!
01:39:44 They think you're behaving foolishly.
01:39:47 I must say, I agree!
01:39:49 Where will you go?
01:39:51 To start with, I'll follow
01:39:54 But suppose you find nothing
01:39:58 How will you survive?
01:40:00 He won't survive.
01:40:06 Nova.
01:40:11 How about coming along?
01:40:13 - We can't.
01:40:16 Oh, they can't convict us of heresy.
01:40:18 You've helped prove our innocence.
01:40:21 Besides... his culture
01:40:23 is our culture.
01:40:25 Well, good luck, then.
01:40:34 Lucius.
01:40:36 I still say you're making a mistake.
01:40:39 That's the spirit. Keep 'em flying.
01:40:41 - What?
01:40:44 Remember, never trust anybody over 30.
01:40:46 Doctor, I'd like to kiss you goodbye.
01:40:57 All right, but
01:40:59 you're so damned ugly.
01:41:26 Don't try to follow us.
01:41:29 Of that I'm sure.
01:41:31 All my life I've awaited your coming
01:41:36 Why?
01:41:37 I've terrified you from the first, doctor.
01:41:41 You're afraid of me and you hate me. Why?
01:41:44 Because you're a man.
01:41:46 And you're right.
01:41:48 I have always known about man.
01:41:52 From the evidence, I believe his wisdom
01:41:58 His emotions must rule his brain.
01:42:00 He must be a warlike creature
01:42:03 to everything around him, even himself.
01:42:06 What evidence?
01:42:09 The forbidden zone was once a paradise.
01:42:12 Your breed made a desert of it... ages ago.
01:42:17 It still doesn't give me the why.
01:42:19 A planet where apes evolved from men.
01:42:23 There's gotta be an answer.
01:42:25 Don't look for it, Taylor.
01:42:28 You may not like what you find.
01:42:38 Untie me!
01:42:53 No, no, no! Wait!
01:42:55 Wait!
01:42:57 Let him go!
01:43:01 Lieutenant, fetch your explosives.
01:43:05 Yes, sir!
01:43:06 - Seal the cave?
01:43:08 And you will both stand trial for heresy.
01:43:11 - But the proof! The doll!
01:43:15 There can't be. I'm sorry.
01:43:17 Dr. Zaius!
01:43:19 Dr. Zaius, you mustn't! You promised!
01:43:21 What I do, I do with no pleasure.
01:43:23 - Silence him!
01:43:25 Dr. Zaius, this is inexcusable!
01:43:29 Why must knowledge stand still?
01:43:31 What about the future?
01:43:34 I may just have saved it for you.
01:43:39 What will he find out there, doctor?
01:43:43 His destiny.
01:45:50 Oh, my God!
01:45:53 I'm back!
01:45:56 I'm home.
01:45:58 All the time, it was...
01:46:03 We finally really did it.
01:46:06 You maniacs!
01:46:09 You blew it up!
01:46:11 God damn you!
01:46:14 God damn you all to hell!
