Are you what we were,
before we learned to talk and made a mess of everything?
Did any good ever come from all that talk around all those tables?
- l don't know where they are. - l wonder where the hell we are.
- We're near the forbidden zone. - Hell, that's where the army is headed.
- They'll roll over us, blow us to bits. - Why can't we go back to our outfits?
Because the sarge says to keep lookin' until we find them.
Nova! Nova, Nova, wake up. We gotta get goin'. Come on.
That hum.
You hear it too?
All right, come on. We're gonna follow it.
Well, whoever, or whatever, something's guiding us.
Whatever they are, they breathe air.
There's an intelligence working here.
That sound is either a warning or a directional device, l don't know which.
lt doesn't much matter. They know we're here.
Put my hands
round her throat!
Off!
Hold her throat down
until she dies!
No!
Get her out!
Get out of my head!
l reveal my inmost self unto my God.
What did you say?
What do you mean, ''there's no point''?
Will they hurt her?
No, maybe not physically, but here. Here. You can hurt here, l know.
Your lips don't move.
But l can hear.
l know. l mean...
l know what you're thinking.
Nothing. l saw nothing.
Who are you?
Brent. Who are you?
l see. ''The only reality in the universe.'' Well, that's nice to know.
l got here by accident. How did you get here?
You're wrong. Why would l want to spy on you?
l'm not even sure you exist.
Of course l know who l am. l'm an astronaut.
l was sent here on a rescue mission.
To find a fellow astronaut. Taylor.
Well, from this planet, but
from another time, 2,000 years ago.
l know. l know it sounds insane.
And it's my insanity.
No. No, l don't know how to get back.
We came through a defect.
A slippage in time.
That's what must have happened to Taylor. l'm sure he tried to get back.
Yes, my skipper's dead. l'm alone.
Who?
''Nova''? What's that? Some star or galaxy? What's ''Nova''?
All right, all right! Yes, l know her. l know her!
No, no. She's harmless. Let her alone.
All right. Just tell me what you want to know.
She helped me. To break out ofApe City.
No, wait. Wait a minute!
Stop it!
l can't understand you ifyou're all screaming at me at the same time.
l can't separate it!
He's right. He has only limited intelligence.
We should speak aloud, and one at a time.
Are we to understand that you were in the city ofthe apes?
- Yes. Yes, two days ago. - What sights did you see?
- You're talking. - Certainly we can talk.
lt's a primitive accomplishment. We use it when we must.
- When we pray. - When we sing to our God.
You mean that thing out there? An atomic bomb?
- Your God? - You don't understand, Mr Brent.
The Bomb is a holy weapon of peace.
Holy weapon of peace!
Mr Brent, we are a patient people.
But we are determined to know what the apes want. War - or peace?
Try to understand.
The only weapons we have are purely illusion.
You just imagine that he hurt you. Traumatic hypnosis is a weapon of peace.
Like the visual deterrent.
Or the sonic deterrent.
Let me make a last appeal to your reason, before we inflict more ofthis on you.
These are weapons of peace, Mr Brent.
- Like all our weapons. - Mere illusions.
lllusions. Damn your hypocrisy!
ls that bomb out there... is that an illusion?
lt's operational, isn't it?
The firing mechanism. lt's intact, isn't it?
We very much need your help, Mr Brent.
- Why? - We are the Keepers ofthe Divine Bomb.
- lt is our only reason for survival. - And yet as you see we are defenseless.
Defenseless against the slobbering, monstrous, materialistic apes.
l'll help nobody.
- Go ahead, annihilate each other. - l forgive you your language.
There are times, l know, when your sanity is about to give way.
l hope that does not happen.
- l hope you can tell us... - Exactly what the apes are planning.
We've caught some oftheir scouts. They're hideous creatures.
And we've had them here, standing precisely where you are now.
Either their skulls were too thick, or they really knew nothing at all.
Neither do l. Can't you understand that? l don't know anything.
You make us very sad, Mr Brent.
She can't help you. She can't even talk.
Don't harm her.
We never harm anyone, Mr Brent.
You're going to harm her.
- The apes are semiarticulate... - You're lying.
How do you know?
How do you always know?
Nova.
- Now... - Tell us ofthe apes.
The apes
are marching on your city.
Bugler, sound the advance.
Ursus!
Ursus, l warned you. Look what we are faced with!
- l told you you should wait. - Brutal butchery!
l swear those responsible shall pay with torture and with death!
lf you have any pity, get your soldiers to shoot our poor people.
l can't order them to do what the Lawgiver has forbidden.
''Ape shall not kill ape.''
Hold your positions!
He bleeds!
The Lawgiver bleeds!
The spirit ofthe Lawgiver lives.
We are still God's chosen ones.
This is a vision, and it is a lie!
The vision was false!
Bugler, sound the advance.
Advance!
Stupid animals! They don't have the brain to hold our illusions.
- We have no defense. - Except our Bomb.
- Call our people to High Sanctuary. - Do you know the range oftheir city?
- Yes. - Set in the mechanism and wait for me.
l want a public thought projection, at adult and infant level.
Adults to the cathedral, infants indoors.
ls now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen
The heavens declare the glory ofthe Bomb and the firmament showeth His handiwork.
His sound has gone out unto all the lands
and His light unto the end ofthe world.
He descendeth from the outermost part of heaven. Nothing is hid from the heat thereof.
There is neither speech nor language, yet His voice is heard among them.
Praise Him! Praise Him! My strength, and my redeemer.
Glory be to the Bomb and to the Holy Fallout, as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be, world without end, amen.
O mighty and everlasting Bomb, who came down among us
to make heaven under earth, lighten our darkness.
O instrument of God, grant us thy peace.
Almighty Bomb
Who destroyed all devils
And created angels
Behold this moment
Behold the truth that abides in us.
Reveal that truth unto that Maker.
- l reveal my inmost self unto my God. - Unto my God.
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The good Bomb made us all
He gave us eyes to see with
And lips that we might tell
How great the Bomb Almighty
Who made all things well
Let everyone go to his private shelter.
Empty the streets. They are to find the City ofthe Dead.
May the blessing ofthe Bomb Almighty and the fellowship ofthe Holy Fallout
descend on us all this day, and forevermore.
l trust this simple ceremony convinced you of our peaceable intentions.
- l'd like to thank you for your cooperation. - When may we hope to be set free?
You may hope whenever you please, Mr Brent.
How could we hope to let you go on the eve ofwar, Mr Brent?
You know too many of our secrets. Like your friend.
- Taylor! - You're... Brent!
- My God! Taylor! - Brent, how in the hell did you get here?
The same way you did. Spaceship, Ape City, subway...
- By yourself? - No. No, Nova found me.
- ls she with you? Where? - l don't know.
They separated us. They were trying to make me kill her.
Mr Taylor, Mr Brent.
We are a peaceful people.
We don't kill our enemies, we get our enemies to kill each other.
l'm fighting.
l'm fighting. l don't wanna...
Taylor. Taylor!
Taylor!
Unto God
l reveal my inmost self.
He's hurt bad.
This isn't exactly sterile.
We'll do the best we can.
Taylor. Taylor, they got a bomb.
Atomic bomb.
lt's operational. They intend to use it.
- What type is it? - l don't know.
l don't know what type. l've never seen it before.
- Well, didn't you see a series number? - No numbers.
Just some letters on one ofthe fins.
Greek letters.
Alpha and...
- And omega. - What?
The Doomsday Bomb.
My God! What a lovely souvenir from the 20th century.
They weren't satisfied with a bomb that could knock out a city.
They finally built one with a cobalt casing.
All in the sweet name of peace.
Those bloody fools. They don't know what they've got.
l mean, they pray to the damn thing.
lf they shoot it off at some ofthose apes,
it could set off a chain reaction in the whole atmosphere.
Burn the planet to a cinder. How's that for your ultimate weapon?
This must be what your scout reported.
A subterranean passage.
l think it's worth exploring.
What will you do, Holiness?
Everything necessary.
- You thinking what l'm thinking? - l'm thinking just that.
Nova? Nova, you...
Oh God!
We should let 'em all die.
The gorillas, every damned...
Look what it comes to.
lt's time it was finished. Finished.
Taylor.
Come on, come on. The bomb.
Yeah.
Why not?
They're obscene!
Follow me!
Sergeant!
Arrest that creature!
This is the instrument of my God.
He can speak!
Your God, eh?
Sergeant.
Your God didn't save you, did he?
Ursus! Ursus, are you mad? That weapon is built by man.
You can't shoot it down with only a clip of bullets.
lf we can't shoot it down, we'll pull it down. Rope!
Block and tackle! Get on it!
But you don't know what you're doing!
lt'll kill us all!
l'll find a way to stop it.
Get him! Over there!
Ursus! Someone at the pillar.
Zaius...
- Taylor! - lt's Doomsday.
The end ofthe world.
- Help me. - You ask me to help you?
Man is evil, capable of nothing but destruction!
You bloody bastard!
ln one ofthe countless billions ofgalaxies in the universe lies a medium-size star.
And one ofits satellites, a green and insignificantplanet, is now dead.
