Dad.
Ellie
Malcolm, what are you doing?
Dad?
Ellie
Malcolm.
Malcolm
It's okay. Put your guns down.
You can't be serious.
Malcolm
Do it.
Caesar
GO!
Carver
Holy shit.
Malcolm
Holy shit.
Carver
I shot him. I was scared. I didn't know what to do.
Dreyfus
Jesus Christ. How many were there?
Malcolm
A lot. Like, 80. At least.
Carver
Okay... You're not hearing what he's saying. They spoke!
Dreyfus
That is not possible.
Malcolm
I'm telling you, Dreyfus, they did and it was incredible.
Carver
Incredible? They're talking apes! With big-ass Spears!
Dreyfus
Please! I don't know exactly what you think you saw or heard... But you have to calm down, okay? What about the virus, Ellie? Any chance of contagion?
Ellie
We're all genetically immune or we would've been dead a long time ago.
Carver
You don't know that for sure.
Malcolm
She worked with the CDC. She knows.
Ellie
What are we gonna do?
Dreyfus
I don't know. We need that power.
He could've killed us, but he didn't.
Carver
Maybe he kept us alive, so they could follow us. They find out where we are, and they kill us all!
Dreyfus
What do you mean, "he"?
Dreyfus
That's what we're trying to tell you. It was unlike anything you've ever seen before, and the leader... He was remarkable.
Carver
Really? Is that what you thought?
Ellie
It's what we saw.
Yeah, it's what we all saw.
Dreyfus
Not a word of this back at the colony, you understand me? Not a word until we can figure out what to do.
Carver
You gotta be kidding me.
Dreyfus
No, I'm not kidding. I don't want to create a panic.
You know the scary thing about them? They don't need power. Lights. Heat. Nothing. That's their advantage. That's what makes them strong.
Carver
Malcolm, I'm thinking one of us should stand guard tonight.
Malcolm
With what? They took our guns. If they wanted us dead, we would be dead already.
Carver
Maybe they're just taking their time. They killed off half the planet already.
Ellie
Come on.
Carver
What?
Ellie
You can't honestly blame the apes.
Carver
Who the hell else am I going to blame? It was the simian flu.
Ellie
It was a virus created by scientists in a lab. The chimps they were testing on didn't have a say in the matter.
Carver
Spare me the hippie-dippie bullshit. You're telling me you don't get sick to your stomach at the sight of them? Didn't you have a little girl?
Malcolm
Carver, that's enough.
Carver
How did she die?
Malcolm
That's enough!
Carver
Or your wife, for that matter.
Carver, you better shut up... Before I kick your ass.
Carver
Okay. I'm the asshole.
Malcolm
Who was that? On the video.
Caesar
A good man. Like you.
Dreyfus
Are you out of your **** mind?
Malcolm
No, I've seen things. I've seen the way they are. They want what we want, to survive. They don't want a war.
Dreyfus
THEY'RE ANIMALS! THEY ATTACKED US!
Malcolm
Because they thought we attacked them. They think that he's dead, but he's not. SIT DOWN, FINNEY! SIT DOWN!
Malcolm
I know how this must sound. I don't think you have any-
Dreyfus
Do you think stopping me will matter? They're coming. Now, we made contact with a military base up north. They're already on their way!
It's true.
Malcolm
Dreyfus!
What are you doing, man?
Dreyfus
I'm saving the human race.
Malcolm
No!
Malcolm
You're not safe here. They made contact. Other people are coming. Soldiers. You have to leave now. Everyone. Caesar, if you don't go... it'll be all-out war.
Caesar
War... has already begun. Ape started war. And human... Human will not forgive. You must go... before fighting begins. I am sorry... my friend.
Malcolm
I thought we had a chance.
Caesar
I did too.
