02:18Come on, Doug.
02:48Come on, Doug.
03:18Come on, Doug.
03:48Come on, Doug.
04:18Come on, Doug.
04:48Come on, Doug.
05:18Come on, Doug.
05:48Come on, Doug.
06:18Come on, Doug.
06:19Come on, Doug.
06:20Come on, Doug.
06:21Come on, Doug.
06:28I suppose we should go in.
06:32Can I go to you, Father?
06:33Can I go too, Father?
06:34No.
06:35I found it.
06:36I said no.
06:37All right, let's go.
06:39Go.
06:40He's dead.
06:47He's dead.
06:49He's dead.
06:51He's dead.
06:52He's dead.
06:53It's a human.
06:54He's dead.
06:55I thought I told you.
06:56I thought I told you to stay outside.
06:58Look, look.
06:59Look.
07:00There are two more of them.
07:01I wonder where they are.
07:02I wonder where they are.
07:03I wonder where they are.
07:04Go find them.
07:05I wonder where they are about this.
07:06You understand, Arno?
07:07Why not, Father?
07:08It's so exciting.
07:09It's...
07:10It's dangerous.
07:12Humans know their places.
07:13That mustn't change.
07:15If they were to find out that other humans could build and fly a machine like this,
07:20they'd begin to think they're as good as we are.
07:23But, Father, look.
07:25These humans must be better than we are.
07:27Better than we are.
07:29You're not to say such a thing again.
07:33You're not even to think it.
07:38I want this body buried at once.
07:45I want this body.
07:51I want this body.
07:53I can't help.
07:55I can't help.
07:58And I want this body.
08:00One day.
08:01I want this body.
08:03I'm really nervous about this body.
08:06I'm really nervous about it.
08:07You're not working with this body.
08:09This body doesn't mean that it's a body.
08:12It's a body.
08:13If you ride fast, you should be in Central City by tomorrow morning.
08:22Give this message to see councillor's edge.
08:25Hurry!
08:26I want a thorough search for the other two humans!
08:35Arno! Get off that thing!
08:43Oh, what?
08:48Emergency.
08:50Quick.
08:53Emergency.
08:55Emergency.
08:57Emergency, howling.
09:00Act, watch it.
09:02Watch out.
09:04Watch out!
09:07Watch out.
09:11Watch out.
09:13Watch out.
09:41No bones broken. I checked.
09:43Oh, easy, easy.
09:50Gotta take that very slowly.
09:52Do I?
09:56What is this place?
09:58How'd we get here?
09:59I don't know. I just got on my feet, too.
10:02Where's Jonesy?
10:03I don't know that either.
10:05Here, let's try it again.
10:07Easy.
10:07Like a hangover without the pleasure of the booze.
10:14I don't even remember what happened.
10:18We were approaching Alpha Centauri.
10:21We ran into some radioactive turbulence and lost control.
10:24I told Jonesy to activate the automatic homing device.
10:30Did he do it?
10:32Well, we landed somewhere.
10:34Could be us.
10:35Yeah, or any one of a thousand other lousy planets in there.
10:38Oh, he told it.
10:38Something's coming.
10:41Stay put.
10:52I brought you something to eat.
10:56Food?
11:00Food?
11:00Who are you?
11:05Farrell.
11:07Listen for eating.
11:09How do we get here?
11:10Where are we?
11:11Where are we at now?
11:12Take it slow, Alan.
11:13Give him a chance.
11:13This is Earth, isn't it?
11:15Earth?
11:16What is Earth?
11:17What is the name of this planet?
11:20This is my secret cave.
11:22It doesn't have a name.
11:23There was another man with us.
11:24What happened to him?
11:26He was dead.
11:27He was dead.
11:30Poor Jonesy.
11:36He had a wife and kid.
11:38Yeah, so do you.
11:39And you're probably just as far from them as he is.
11:42Maybe not.
11:43Come on, Alan.
11:44Take a look at this fruit.
11:45You ever see anything like this?
11:47And this place.
11:48You know what this looks like?
11:50A bomb shelter.
11:51Maybe a couple hundred years old.
11:52Well, they didn't have bomb shelters on Earth a couple hundred years ago.
11:55I know, Pete.
11:57He says, is our ship far from here?
11:59No.
11:59Can you take us there?
12:02It wouldn't be safe, dressed like that.
12:06But we could fool them.
12:08I'll go into Chalo and get different clothes for you.
12:11What's Chalo?
12:13Chalo.
12:14The village where humans are supposed to live.
12:16Well, I don't like the prefect.
12:23Well, I stay most of the time here.
12:25I found this place about two years ago.
12:29But I never told anybody about it.
12:31So you'll be safe here.
12:32Safe?
12:33From what?
12:34The apes, of course.
12:36I'll be back as soon as I can.
12:40Apes.
12:40That's what the man said.
12:43These two humans are strangers.
12:48And they are insane.
12:50Don't listen to them.
12:53Report their whereabouts to us at once if you should see them.
12:58I was just thinking when I was a kid in Jersey City.
13:02Couldn't even see the stars.
13:05Used to dream about them, though.
13:09Used to dream about being up there with them.
13:11I sure got my wish, didn't I?
13:18Pete Burke, marooned in an ancient bomb shelter.
13:24Well, there'll be a few ladies that'll miss me anyway.
13:28We'll get home again, Pete.
13:31Somehow.
13:32Ah, come off it, Alan.
13:33This is home from now on.
13:35You know it.
13:37And I think I want to see what it looks like.
13:39You have it, the old man said.
13:44Oh, sure.
13:45Apes.
13:51Amazing, isn't it?
13:53Just like Earth.
14:02Listen.
14:03Yeah, well, we could have landed in a worse place, I'll tell you that.
14:10Ah!

14:49Ah!
14:50Ah!
14:51Ah!
14:52Ah!
14:53You are bright and amusing, Gaila.
14:55But is that reason enough for me to accept you as my assistant?
14:59Hmm.
15:00I do have one other qualification, Counselor Sayas.
15:04What? What?
15:05My father is a very old friend of yours, and you owe him a favor.
15:10Ha! Ha! Ha!
15:13I'll see if my master has an answer for you.
15:18Are you always so direct?
15:20Only with people who my respect, sir.
15:22Bah! Bah!
15:24Yes?
15:26Message, sir, from the prefect of Chalo.
15:28Chalo?
15:29A small human settlement about 30 miles south of here.
15:33The prefect is a second cousin on my mother's side.
15:37I see.
15:38And do you have friends everywhere?
15:41I try, sir.
15:42You're not only amusing...
15:44It's not possible.
15:52What's the matter, sir?
16:00Did you ever have a recurring nightmare?
16:02No matter how swiftly you try to escape destruction, it always reappears directly in front of you.
16:11I don't understand, sir.
16:13Humans are laborers, farmers, and servants.
16:18I mean, they're not technicians.
16:20This is pure fantasy.
16:22Destruction is not fantasy, Galen!
16:27You have a great deal to learn.
16:33Are the apes in control all over the planet?
16:34I don't understand.
16:35Now, what he's asking is, who runs the government?
16:38Well, the prefect.
16:39No, I don't mean just the village.
16:40I mean the main government.
16:41You mean the High Council?
16:43Well, they're very important.
16:45They sent a messenger to the High Council about you two.
16:48I heard about it.
16:49Are there any humans on the High Council?
16:51Humans on the High Council?
16:54Humans are nothing.
16:56They've always been nothing.
16:57They've always been nothing.
16:58Except in storybooks.
17:01Always?
17:02How could it be otherwise?
17:04The apes are so much smarter than we are.
17:09Well, except for you two, I guess.
17:11You're different.
17:12That's why they're looking for you.
17:14What do they do if they find us?
17:16They kill you.
17:18They're always killing humans.
17:21Oh, well, it's just a great little world we landed on.
17:23Well, they'd kill me if they knew about the storybook.
17:27What storybook?
17:28I found it here.
17:30I found lots of other books, too.
17:33But I couldn't read what they had to say.
17:36So I used them for fire.
17:39But I kept this because it had pictures in it.
17:42And I like to look at the pictures, even though they're only stories.
17:47Here it comes.
17:48Let me see it.
17:49Careful, it's very old.
17:50Yes, senor, I will.
17:51Take it.
17:58Oh, my God, Pete.
18:02Oh, my God.
18:05The year 2503.
18:08This picture was taken...
18:11500 years after we left.
18:13We can't go home, Alan.
18:15We're on Earth.
18:16We're there already.
18:21Another ship, Zaius?
18:22It's hard to believe.
18:23Can the chief of security afford not to believe it?
18:26How reliable is this prefect?
18:27Do you know him?
18:28Galen does.
18:29Oh, I don't believe a word of it.
18:31How could humans build and run such a machine?
18:33I mean, we can't even do it.
18:34Who is this fool, Zaius?
18:35Galen's going to be my assistant.
18:37Maybe.
18:38There were three humans, Urko.
18:41One is dead.
18:42The other two are still at large.
18:43They must be found and quickly.
18:44Yes.
18:45And killed.
18:46No!
18:47Brought back.
18:48Questioned by the High Council.
18:49This is an infection, Zaius.
18:51One doesn't question it.
18:52One wipes it out.
18:53Just as we did before.
18:54Not until we question its source.
18:59More than ten years ago, another such ship landed.
19:03Humans.
19:04They said they were from this world, but from another time period, long ago.
19:10You know, I've heard stories like that, but I always thought they were stories.
19:13I never believed that it really happened.
19:15Yes, that's what we wanted everyone to think.
19:18There were such humans, Galen.
19:21And they called themselves...
19:23What was the word, Urko?
19:26Astronauts.
19:28Astronauts.
19:30Astronauts.
19:31Astronauts.
19:33What were they like?
19:35They had greater knowledge and capabilities than our humans.
19:40And they had feelings of independence and freedom.
19:44Humans.
19:47You know, that's fascinating.
19:48Not fascinating, Galen.
19:50Unlawful.
19:51They would have encouraged our humans to be equally unlawful.
19:54But the danger was eliminated.
19:56They were killed.
19:57Before they could be questioned.
19:59My job is protection.
20:00Not a gathering of useless information.
20:02No information is useless.
20:06We have to learn how they think, Urko.
20:09What makes them different from the humans we know.
20:12Once we learn how to deal with them.
20:15And any others that may come along.
20:18Then they can be killed.
20:21You will go along to see that nothing happens to these astronauts.
20:36I don't trust Urko.
20:39He won't listen to me, sir.
20:43You carry my authority when you go as my representative.
20:48Yes, sir.
20:51I know there's certain lack of enthusiasm.
20:55You may have a chance to visit your second cousin on your mother's side.
20:58Well, to tell you the truth, sir, I never really liked him very much.
21:01Sir, these, uh, these astronauts, are they truly different from the humans we know?
21:09Absolutely.
21:11And they are a threat.
21:13However, I want them alive.
21:18For now.
21:19No, it's a shame they have to be killed at all.
21:25They do sound so interesting.
21:35Pete, you're awake.
21:36Yeah.
21:38We must have come through a time warp.
21:40It could be five hundred years into the future.
21:44Or five thousand.
21:47Everyone's dead.
21:49My wife.
21:53My son.
21:55Alan, there's nothing you can do about it.
21:58He said he'd take us to the ship in the morning.
22:01If the chronometer's still working, we'll know what year it is.
22:05What did we do to ourselves?
22:10The errand boy is worried.
22:23Aren't you?
22:24No.
22:26I'm just confused.
22:28I always thought humans were unimportant animals.
22:32And so they are.
22:35Get some sleep.
22:36I want to make an early start in the morning.
22:40This way.
22:56It's not far.
22:58Why bring the book?
23:00You didn't think I was gonna leave it behind, did you?
23:03Wait a minute.
23:05The apes aren't looking for you.
23:08You don't have to go with us.
23:10We're friends, aren't we?
23:12Come on.
23:13Here you go.
23:14Get rid of them.
23:16Barrels, don't.
23:23Oh!
23:25The two humans.
23:26I'll get rid of him.
23:31No.
23:36The two humans.
23:39I just saw them running off that way.
23:42Come on, I'll show you.
23:46Come on, the two humans.
23:49You can catch them.
23:56Come on.
24:26The year 3085.
24:33More than a thousand years in the future.
24:38Marvelous.
24:40Maybe further.
24:41That's when it stopped working.
24:44Well, we're just going to have to find him.

28:58and uh
29:00you kept apes
29:02in cages
29:08why
29:10well
29:11apes were considered wild animals in those days
29:13they weren't as intelligent as you are
29:17that is not true
29:19sorry buster it is
29:21that is not true
29:23no it's all lies
29:25apes
29:26have always ruled the world
29:28always
29:34you you you you you you you you you check their ropes
29:36you make sure that they can't escape
29:38the master will be angry with me for letting you have this
29:46i will be angrier if you don't
29:59enemies of the state must be put to death
30:01i remind the high council that this is our law
30:04our law
30:05and the law must be obeyed
30:07what makes us enemies
30:09we haven't done anything
30:10your ambitions are enemies your thoughts are enemies
30:12what's your name pal?
30:13Hitler? Stalin? Mussolini?
30:15silence!
30:16do you believe humans and apes are equals?
30:19in this world or ours?
30:21in any world?
30:22i don't know about any world
30:25but i believe that all intelligent creatures should learn to live and work with each other as equals
30:29as equals
30:32they have convicted themselves, deus!
30:35do you want this sacrilege and heresy to infect the rest of the humans?
30:39certainly not, Urko
30:41and by questioning them we will learn how to avoid it
30:45will you learn to avoid destruction?
30:47what destruction?
30:49we don't intend any destruction
30:50you're human, aren't you?
30:51would an ape have created such an instrument?
30:54Urko!
30:55you have no right to take that!
31:01there is the real threat!
31:03there is the danger!
31:08very good Urko
31:10the object you stole from my cabinet
31:13has provided a most dramatic display
31:16proving only the importance of keeping these two humans alive
31:20until we learn how they create such destruction!
31:25so we can prevent it!
31:27if in future
31:29there are others like them
31:31yes, i agree
31:33it's true!
31:35i'm sure that even the great Urko
31:38cannot quarrel with this decision
31:40i'll quarrel with anything that keeps these two humans alive!
31:51i'll quarrel with anything that keeps these two humans alive!
31:53you know what i expect you to do
32:14after dark
32:17sails?
32:20yes?
32:22was there ever a time
32:28when humans control the world
32:31and apes were kept behind bars?
32:35i said you had a great deal to learn
32:38but that didn't include heresy
32:39maybe
32:44they were right sails
32:46maybe the world would be better
32:49if no creature controlled another
32:51if all work together as equals
32:56i could have you imprisoned for that
32:59sails

34:07uh...
34:09well...
34:10well i mean it's just so...
34:12uh...

34:41the input record of our flight is still aboard ship
34:44everything that happened from the time we left home until we landed back here on earth
34:48is recorded on that magnetic disc
34:50now all we have to do is run it through a computer
34:53analyze what went wrong, reverse the process and we can get back home again
34:56you're out of your mind
34:58what's a computer?
34:59and maybe the humans who made that grenade are still on earth
35:02and maybe they have the knowledge to
35:03to what?
