- 2: Galen, Virdon and Burke are wandering through the hills and take a stop to talk about how Galen’s life has changed since they started traveling together as renegades and how they are now being hunted by General Urko. They stop for a quick rest panting tired from traveling and stop to have water. They continue to make their way to the top of a hill to look around. They see the ruins of an old city which turns out to be Oakland City. Galen, Virdon and Burke make their way into the city which appears to be deserted and full of ruins. A small barking dog follows them down a main street full of rubble.
- 3: An old man that does not speak comes out of the building - he appears to be scared of them. A female girl also makes her way into a building behind them. The sound of horses is heard and the 3 renegades, Galen, Virdon and Burke, run for cover as four gorilla soldiers on horse back make their way down the city street. They hide until the horses pass by. They wonder what this city use to be and they make their way to find the doors of a huge building which they think was a Colosseum (an arena where humans were forced to fight animals). The sign on the building says it is the Oakland Science Institute. This was a place that prior to the Nuclear Holocaust in the 20th Century, the scientists had predicted that humanity was on the verge of a dark age and collected and stored the sum total of human knowledge in various vaults such as this institute and other places around the world.
- 4: Inside the Oakland Science Institute they find more rubble but notice a wall buried behind a bunch of rocks so they pull away the rocks and debris to unbury a vaulted room. Virdon turns a wheel that opens the room and the door opens upwards. Then they are able walk in to the room and find a large vintage old computer. They do not recognize what it is but it has numerous buttons on it and Virdon starts to push buttons to see if he can make it turn on. One control turns on a projection of a hologram person which is projected across the room. The projection is of an elderly scientist in a white outfit who gives a speech about how his fellow scientists have kept the worlds information in vaults around the world. The hologram person states that “The vault is in bedded in concrete on the lower level of ?” The location is unknown as the hologram stops speaking right at that moment. They start to worry and try to find power to get the machine to continue presenting its message. Galen thinks its magic and is amazed by what he has seen. Virdon states that there is probably zink in the power unit and thinks that copper plumbing pipe and a container and Sulphuric acid might get the computer powered up again.
- 5: Galen, Virdon and Burke go on a hunt through rubble in the city to find the ingredients they need to create a battery to power the computer. They gather some wooden boards and Burke states that if they burn it the fumes will create Sulphur Dioxide. Burke tells Galen that if you blend it at the right temperature with water and oxygen you get Sulphuric acid. Virdon says they will melt down the copper they found and form a base conductor and they might create a battery.
- 6: Galen notices six gorilla soldiers on foot walking this way through the city street . The gorillas notice the two humans Virdon and Burke who appear to be too well fed and appear to be different than the other humans in the city. They also notice there is an ape with them. Galen, Virdon and Burke slowly start to walk away with the tools and ingredients they have found. They agree to meet back at the Oakland Science Institute. Virdon says “Just get the projector rolling and find the film”.
- 7: As they start to run away a gorilla shoots once at Burke. Galen clumsily runs off by himself into an abandoned building.
- 8: Virdon runs around the corner but trips and twists his ankle. A young boy named Kraik watches Virdon running. Virdon comes around a corner and hides under a staircase where a female named Arn is already hiding. Arn panics when Virdon comes near her. The boy Kraik runs out and talks to two gorilla soldiers and offers to tell them information if they will give him two days worth of food as all the humans in the city are starving. Another gorilla soldier comes around the corner and catches Virdon hiding with Arn. The soldiers take the two of them away for questioning. Kraik finds an apple the gorilla soldier dropped and frantically eats it as he is starved.
- 9: Galen and Burke are working in another abandoned building arguing over the orders Virdon had given before they were separated. Burke states they must wait 24 hours while Burke works on building the battery to power the computer.
- 10: Dr. Zaius and General Urko make their way into a building which is the Apes headquarters in Oakland City. Inside they find Virdon being kept captive by gorilla soldiers. Urko questions him on the location of the other renegades Burke and Galen. Urko gets angry and kicks Virdon to the ground.

- BASE CONDUCTOR - Inside the Oakland Science Institute the computer with the projected hologram ends in the middle of its message and Galen, Virdon and Burke go looking for ways to repower it. Virdon states that there is probably zink in the power unit and thinks that copper plumbing pipe and a container and Sulphuric acid might get the computer powered up again. Galen, Virdon and Burke go on a hunt through rubble in the city to find the ingredients they need to create a battery to power the computer. They gather some wooden boards and Burke states that if they burn it the fumes will create Sulphur Dioxide. Burke tells Galen that if you blend it at the right temperature with water and oxygen you get Sulphuric acid. Virdon says they will melt down the copper they found and form a base conductor and they might create a battery. Galen notices six gorilla soldiers on foot walking this way through the city street . The gorillas notice the two humans Virdon and Burke who appear to be too well fed and appear to be different than the other humans in the city. They also notice there is an ape with them. Galen, Virdon and Burke slowly start to walk away with the tools and ingredients they have found. They agree to meet back at the Oakland Science Institute. Virdon says “Just get the projector rolling and find the film”. Later Burke and Galen reunite. Burke states they must wait 24 hours while Burke works on building the battery to power the computer. Later Burke is working on hooking the battery to the computer and Galen warns him of gorillas on the way. Galen goes to touch the sulphuric acid brewing in a pot that Burke worked on all day but Burke warns him to stay away. Burke succeeds in creating his battery and has power for the computer to get the message.

Inside the Oakland Science Institute they find more rubble but notice a wall buried behind a bunch of rocks so they pull away the rocks and debris to unbury a vaulted room. Virdon turns a wheel that opens the room and the door opens upwards. Then they are able walk in to the room and find a large vintage old computer. They do not recognize what it is but it has numerous buttons on it and Virdon starts to push buttons to see if he can make it turn on. One control turns on a projection of a hologram person which is projected across the room. The projection is of an elderly scientist in a white outfit who gives a speech about how his fellow scientists have kept the worlds information in vaults around the world.

Knowledge - death and destruction is the comment made by Dr. Zaius as they find the massive computers working in the Railway Station.. Urko wants to keep the information and power for himself but Zaius talks him out of it so they set everything on fire to destroy it all. A huge explosion goes off and the renegades make their way out of the city
- COPPER PLUMBING PIPE - Inside the Oakland Science Institute the computer with the projected hologram ends in the middle of its message and Galen, Virdon and Burke go looking for ways to repower it. Virdon states that there is probably zink in the power unit and thinks that copper plumbing pipe and a container and Sulphuric acid might get the computer powered up again. Galen, Virdon and Burke go on a hunt through rubble in the city to find the ingredients they need to create a battery to power the computer. They gather some wooden boards and Burke states that if they burn it the fumes will create Sulphur Dioxide. Burke tells Galen that if you blend it at the right temperature with water and oxygen you get Sulphuric acid. Virdon says they will melt down the copper they found and form a base conductor and they might create a battery. Galen notices six gorilla soldiers on foot walking this way through the city street . The gorillas notice the two humans Virdon and Burke who appear to be too well fed and appear to be different than the other humans in the city. They also notice there is an ape with them. Galen, Virdon and Burke slowly start to walk away with the tools and ingredients they have found. They agree to meet back at the Oakland Science Institute. Virdon says “Just get the projector rolling and find the film”. Later Burke and Galen reunite. Burke states they must wait 24 hours while Burke works on building the battery to power the computer. Later Burke is working on hooking the battery to the computer and Galen warns him of gorillas on the way. Galen goes to touch the sulphuric acid brewing in a pot that Burke worked on all day but Burke warns him to stay away. Burke succeeds in creating his battery and has power for the computer to get the message.

- GALEN - Young adult male chimpanzee. Considered a renegade by other apes. He travels along with the human astronauts Virdon and Burke. He is wanted by Zaius and Urko. Galen, Virdon and Burke are wandering through the hills and take a stop to talk about how Galen’s life has changed since they started traveling together as renegades and how they are now being hunted by General Urko. They stop for a quick rest panting tired from traveling and stop to have water. They continue to make their way to the top of a hill to look around. They see the ruins of an old city which turns out to be Oakland City. Galen, Virdon and Burke make their way into the city which appears to be deserted and full of ruins. A small barking dog follows them down a main street full of rubble. An old man that does not speak comes out of the building - he appears to be scared of them. A female girl also makes her way into a building behind them. The sound of horses is heard and the 3 renegades, Galen, Virdon and Burke, run for cover as four gorilla soldiers on horse back make their way down the city street. They hide until the horses pass by. They wonder what this city use to be and they make their way to find the doors of a huge building which they think was a Colloseum (an arena where humans were forced to fight animals). The sign on the building says it is the Oakland Science Institute. This was a place that prior to the Nuclear Holocaust in the 20th Century, the scientists had predicted that humanity was on the verge of a dark age and collected and stored the sum total of human knowledge in various vaults such as this institute and other places around the world. Inside the Oakland Science Institute they find more rubble but notice a wall buried behind a bunch of rocks so they pull away the rocks and debris to unbury a vaulted room. Virdon turns a wheel that opens the room and the door opens upwards. Then they are able walk in to the room and find a large vintage old computer. They do not recognize what it is but it has numerous buttons on it and Virdon starts to push buttons to see if he can make it turn on. One control turns on a projection of a hologram person which is projected across the room. The projection is of an elderly scientist in a white outfit who gives a speech about how his fellow scientists have kept the worlds information in vaults around the world. The hologram person states that “The vault is in bedded in concrete on the lower level of ?” The location is unknown as the hologram stops speaking right at that moment. They start to worry and try to find power to get the machine to continue presenting its message. Galen thinks its magic and is amazed by what he has seen. Virdon states that there is probably zink in the power unit and thinks that copper plumbing pipe and a container and Sulphuric acid might get the computer powered up again. Galen, Virdon and Burke go on a hunt through rubble in the city to find the ingredients they need to create a battery to power the computer. They gather some wooden boards and Burke states that if they burn it the fumes will create Sulphur Dioxide. Burke tells Galen that if you blend it at the right temperature with water and oxygen you get Sulphuric acid. Virdon says they will melt down the copper they found and form a base conductor and they might create a battery. Galen notices six gorilla soldiers on foot walking this way through the city street . The gorillas notice the two humans Virdon and Burke who appear to be too well fed and appear to be different than the other humans in the city. They also notice there is an ape with them. Galen, Virdon and Burke slowly start to walk away with the tools and ingredients they have found. They agree to meet back at the Oakland Science Institute. Virdon says “Just get the projector rolling and find the film”. Galen clumsily runs off by himself into an abandoned building. Eventually Galen and Burke are working in another abandoned building arguing over the orders Virdon had given before they were separated. Burke states they must wait 24 hours while Burke works on building the battery to power the computer. Later on Burke and Galen are sneaking through the streets. They come across another male human who panics and runs away from them without saying a word. Later on a gorilla soldier with a rifle on guard is near strangled to death by Burke until Galen points the rifle at the gorilla. They question the gorilla about where Virdon is held captive. Later that night Galen and Burke are arguing again back at their hideout. Burke continues to work on building the battery. A while later Burke continues to work on the battery while Galen questions him nervously about what they should do. Eventually Galen goes to touch the sulphuric acid brewing in a pot that Burke worked on all day. They call it a night. The next day gorilla soldiers continue to look for the renegades. They find two other humans but Urko dismisses them as being the wrong people. Galen watches. Soon later Burke is working on hooking the battery to the computer and Galen warns him of gorillas on the way. Six gorilla soldiers with General Urko enter the Oakland City Institute looking for Burke and Galen. Galen and Burke have found out the secret location and make their way there. Burke turns on the main computer at the Railway Station. Galen is in awe. Track 4 - is the name of the sign found as Virdon enters the Railroad Station with Arn and Kraik. Along with Galen and Burke the five of them escape the railway station before Urko and his men arrive. Immediately after a huge explosion goes off and the renegades make their way out of the city and take Arn and Kraik to Derlin’s farm where she used to live with Tomar. Virdon, Burke and Galen make their way off and leave Arn and Kraik at the farm.

- GORILLA SOLDIERS - Galen notices six gorilla soldiers on foot walking this way through the city street . The gorillas notice the two humans Virdon and Burke who appear to be too well fed and appear to be different than the other humans in the city. They also notice there is an ape with them. Galen, Virdon and Burke slowly start to walk away with the tools and ingredients they have found. They agree to meet back at the Oakland Science Institute. Virdon says “Just get the projector rolling and find the film”. As they start to run away a gorilla shoots once at Burke. Galen clumsily runs off by himself into an abandoned building. Virdon runs around the corner but trips and twists his ankle. A young boy named Kraik watches Virdon running. Virdon comes around a corner and hides under a staircase where a female named Arn is already hiding. Arn panics when Virdon comes near her. The boy Kraik runs out and talks to two gorilla soldiers and offers to tell them information if they will give him two days worth of food as all the humans in the city are starving. Another gorilla soldier comes around the corner and catches Virdon hiding with Arn. The soldiers take the two of them away for questioning. Kraik finds an apple the gorilla soldier dropped and frantically eats it as he is starved. Dr. Zaius and General Urko make their way into a building which is the Apes headquarters in Oakland City. Inside they find Virdon being kept captive by gorilla soldiers. Urko questions him on the location of the other renegades Burke and Galen. Urko gets angry and kicks Virdon to the ground. Later two gorilla soldiers question Kraik . They tell the boy they will give him all the food he wants if he finds out information for them. The woman Arn is brought in for questioning by General Urko and Dr. Zaius. The gorilla says she was the woman of Tomar the rebel. Virdon is taken by gorilla soldiers to a building with caged doors. They leave him alone. He looks around to see if he can get out. He notices he is imprisoned with the boy and the woman both sitting there silent. He runs over to the woman Arn to see if she is ok. Soon after a gorilla soldier with a rifle on guard is near strangled to death by Burke until Galen points the rifle at the gorilla. They question the gorilla about where Virdon is held captive. Virdon asks the boy Kraik and woman Arn why they are being held captive. They are kept in a building that looks like a castle which Virdon says was built on Oil money by a rich man who wanted to live like a 16th century Baron. Virdon notices bars on the windows so they can’t escape. He works on yanking one of the bars until it finally comes loose enough to bend open. A gorilla soldier notices him and shoots at him. The gorilla had easy aim yet missed so Virdon realizes he is being kept as bait in a trip to lure in Burke and Galen. Later red flags are hanging with pictures of a gorilla head on it in front of the Army headquarters building where Urko and Zaius are. Urko says he will go and hunt for Galen and Burke. Gorilla soldiers continue to look for the renegades. They find two other humans but Urko dismisses them as being the wrong people. Galen watches. Burke is working on hooking the battery to the computer and Galen warns him of gorillas on the way. Kraik goes to see the gorilla soldier to collect a reward for information he got about Virdon. Six gorilla soldiers with General Urko enter the Oakland City Institute looking for Burke and Galen. Kraik goes back to the gorilla soldier and makes up a story about a gun that Virdon had. Virdon jumps out the window onto the gorilla guard and they wrestle. Virdon succeeds and helps Arn escape. Kraik, Virdon and Arn make their getaway. General Urko tells Dr. Zaius that nothing was found in the Institute. Zaius takes him back to look again General Urko, Dr Zaius and many gorilla guards make their way towards Oakland City Institute. Virdon unburies the rubble of rocks again from the room where the computer is kept secret so they can listen to the computers message. Before he gets the message Urko and his men arrive. Zaius sees the computer and turns it on. A message starts to play that tells them Lower Level of the Midtown Railway Station gateway to Track Number Four is the location where world information is kept for future generations in computers. One gorilla soldier calls it “witchcraft” when the hologram from the computer begins to speak. The Railway Station is a long narrow building which Urko, Zaius and the g orillas race towards. Kraik takes Virdon and Arn on a shortcut to the railway station back through the manhole in the street. Urko, Zaius and the gorilla soldiers ride quickly through the city past various starving humans. Track 4 - is the name of the sign found as Virdon enters the Railroad Station with Arn and Kraik.

The gorilla had easy aim yet missed so Virdon realizes he is being kept as bait in a trip to lure in Burke and Galen. Dr. Zaius holds a photograph of Virdon and his wife and child taken back in the 20th century. Zaius states to Urko that he has studied humans and found they are extremely vulnerable in family situations. Zaius knows Virdon will tell the boy things they could never drag out of him. Virdon introduces himself to the boy Kraik officially. Virdon is sitting at a fire he built. He teaches Kraik the meaning of the handshake. Kraik tells Virdon he has no family. Arn finds food that Kraik tries to take but Virdon teaches him to save some of it for another day. With a pot they work on sorting and cooking food. Virdon sits with Arn and Kraik and they all eat the stew they made. Kraik questions Virdon about the location of his friends Galen and Burke. Kraik comes to watch Virdon building an airplane out of wood. Virdon explained how in the past many people would fly and people were better off back then than now. Virdon goes and sits with Arn. Virdon makes a pouch for Kraik. Virdon asks Kraik to go find firewood and Arn questions Virdon about whether his stories are true. Virdon tells Kraik there is a machine in the Institute that can help them. Arn tells Virdon when she first met Tomar he lived on a farm with his brother Derlin. It was a beautiful place. Virdon notices the airplane he built is missing and goes to ask Kraik for it. Kraik throws down the plane and says “I hate you” to Virdon. Kraik goes to see the gorilla soldier to collect a reward for information he got about Virdon. Kraik comes back to the castle where Arn and Virdon are kept prisoners. He picks up the airplane and Arn tells him that it was made special for him by Virdon. Kraik apologizes to Virdon and tells him he knows a way out of the castle where they are held prisoners. Kraik goes back to the gorilla soldier and makes up a story about a gun that Virdon had. Virdon jumps out the window onto the gorilla guard and they wrestle. Virdon succeeds and helps Arn escape. Kraik, Virdon and Arn make their getaway. Virdon, Kraik and Arn make their way from a manhole in the middle of the street back to the Oakland City Institute.

- SCIENTIST - Holographic projected image of a 20th Century elderly white human scientist. Inside the Oakland Science Institute they find more rubble but notice a wall buried behind a bunch of rocks so they pull away the rocks and debris to unbury a vaulted room. Virdon turns a wheel that opens the room and the door opens upwards. Then they are able walk in to the room and find a large vintage old computer. They do not recognize what it is but it has numerous buttons on it and Virdon starts to push buttons to see if he can make it turn on. One control turns on a projection of a hologram person which is projected across the room. The projection is of an elderly scientist in a white outfit who gives a speech about how his fellow scientists have kept the worlds information in vaults around the world. The hologram person states that “The vault is in bedded in concrete on the lower level of ?” The location is unknown as the hologram stops speaking right at that moment. They start to worry and try to find power to get the machine to continue presenting its message. Galen thinks its magic and is amazed by what he has seen. The next day Virdon unburies the rubble of rocks again from the room where the computer is kept secret so they can listen to the computers message. Before he gets the message Urko and his men arrive. Zaius sees the computer and turns it on. A message starts to play that tells them Lower Level of the Midtown Railway Station gateway to Track Number Four is the location where world information is kept for future generations in computers. One gorilla soldier calls it “witchcraft” when the hologram from the computer begins to speak.

- SULPHURIC ACID - Inside the Oakland Science Institute the computer with the projected hologram ends in the middle of its message and Galen, Virdon and Burke go looking for ways to repower it. Virdon states that there is probably zink in the power unit and thinks that copper plumbing pipe and a container and Sulphuric acid might get the computer powered up again. Galen, Virdon and Burke go on a hunt through rubble in the city to find the ingredients they need to create a battery to power the computer. They gather some wooden boards and Burke states that if they burn it the fumes will create Sulphur Dioxide. Burke tells Galen that if you blend it at the right temperature with water and oxygen you get Sulphuric acid. Virdon says they will melt down the copper they found and form a base conductor and they might create a battery. Galen notices six gorilla soldiers on foot walking this way through the city street . The gorillas notice the two humans Virdon and Burke who appear to be too well fed and appear to be different than the other humans in the city. They also notice there is an ape with them. Galen, Virdon and Burke slowly start to walk away with the tools and ingredients they have found. They agree to meet back at the Oakland Science Institute. Virdon says “Just get the projector rolling and find the film”. Later Burke and Galen reunite. Burke states they must wait 24 hours while Burke works on building the battery to power the computer. Later Burke is working on hooking the battery to the computer and Galen warns him of gorillas on the way. Galen goes to touch the sulphuric acid brewing in a pot that Burke worked on all day but Burke warns him to stay away. Burke succeeds in creating his battery and has power for the computer to get the message.

- URKO, General - Chief of Security, male gorilla, works with Zaius. He is on a personal manhunt for the 2 astronauts Virdon and Burke and renegade chimp Galen. Galen, Virdon and Burke are wandering through the hills and take a stop to talk about how Galen’s life has changed since they started traveling together as renegades and how they are now being hunted by General Urko. Dr. Zaius and General Urko make their way into a building which is the Apes headquarters in Oakland City. Inside they find Virdon being kept captive by gorilla soldiers. Urko questions him on the location of the other renegades Burke and Galen. Urko gets angry and kicks Virdon to the ground. Later on Dr. Zaius and General Urko are sitting discussing Virdon. Urko says he will beat or kill Virdon if necessary. Zaius mentions the High Council and states that killing Virdon will achieve nothing if the other renegades continue to spread the message that could cause unrest with the other humans. The woman Arn is brought in for questioning by General Urko and Dr. Zaius. The gorilla says she was the woman of Tomar the rebel. Dr. Zaius holds a photograph of Virdon and his wife and child taken back in the 20th century.

Later that day red flags are hanging with pictures of a gorilla head on it in front of the Army headquarters building where Urko and Zaius are. Urko says he will go and hunt for Galen and Burke. The next day six gorilla soldiers with General Urko enter the Oakland City Institute looking for Burke and Galen. Soon afterwards General Urko tells Dr. Zaius that nothing was found in the Institute. Zaius takes him back to look again. General Urko, Dr Zaius and many gorilla guards make their way towards Oakland City Institute. Virdon unburies the rubble of rocks again from the room where the computer is kept secret so they can listen to the computers message. Before he gets the message Urko and his men arrive. Zaius sees the computer and turns it on. A message starts to play that tells them Lower Level of the Midtown Railway Station gateway to Track Number Four is the location where world information is kept for future generations in computers.

Kraik takes Virdon and Arn on a shortcut to the railway station back through the manhole in the street. Urko, Zaius and the gorilla soldiers ride quickly through the city past various starving humans. Knowledge - death and destruction is the comment made by Dr. Zaius as they find the massive computers working in the Railway Station. Urko wants to keep the information and power for himself but Zaius talks him out of it so they set everything on fire to destroy it all. A huge explosion goes off and the renegades make their way out of the city.
- VIRDON, Alan - older astronaut, blonde hair, white male, one of 2 human astronauts. He travels with astronaut Burke and renegade chimp Galen. Galen, Virdon and Burke are wandering through the hills and take a stop to talk about how Galen’s life has changed since they started traveling together as renegades and how they are now being hunted by General Urko. They stop for a quick rest panting tired from traveling and stop to have water. They continue to make their way to the top of a hill to look around. They see the ruins of an old city which turns out to be Oakland City. Galen, Virdon and Burke make their way into the city which appears to be deserted and full of ruins. A small barking dog follows them down a main street full of rubble. An old man that does not speak comes out of the building - he appears to be scared of them. A female girl also makes her way into a building behind them. The sound of horses is heard and the 3 renegades, Galen, Virdon and Burke, run for cover as four gorilla soldiers on horse back make their way down the city street. They hide until the horses pass by. They wonder what this city use to be and they make their way to find the doors of a huge building which they think was a Colloseum (an arena where humans were forced to fight animals). The sign on the building says it is the Oakland Science Institute. This was a place that prior to the Nuclear Holocaust in the 20th Century, the scientists had predicted that humanity was on the verge of a dark age and collected and stored the sum total of human knowledge in various vaults such as this institute and other places around the world. Inside the Oakland Science Institute they find more rubble but notice a wall buried behind a bunch of rocks so they pull away the rocks and debris to unbury a vaulted room. Virdon turns a wheel that opens the room and the door opens upwards. Then they are able walk in to the room and find a large vintage old computer. They do not recognize what it is but it has numerous buttons on it and Virdon starts to push buttons to see if he can make it turn on.

Burke tells Galen that if you blend it at the right temperature with water and oxygen you get Sulphuric acid. Virdon says they will melt down the copper they found and form a base conductor and they might create a battery. Galen notices six gorilla soldiers on foot walking this way through the city street . The gorillas notice the two humans Virdon and Burke who appear to be too well fed and appear to be different than the other humans in the city. They also notice there is an ape with them. Galen, Virdon and Burke slowly start to walk away with the tools and ingredients they have found. They agree to meet back at the Oakland Science Institute. Virdon says “Just get the projector rolling and find the film”. As they start to run away a gorilla shoots once at Burke. Virdon runs around the corner but trips and twists his ankle. A young boy named Kraik watches Virdon running. Virdon comes around a corner and hides under a staircase where a female named Arn is already hiding. Arn panics when Virdon comes near her. The boy Kraik runs out and talks to two gorilla soldiers and offers to tell them information if they will give him two days worth of food as all the humans in the city are starving. Another gorilla soldier comes around the corner and catches Virdon hiding with Arn. The soldiers take the two of them away for questioning. Kraik finds an apple the gorilla soldier dropped and frantically eats it as he is starved. Dr. Zaius and General Urko make their way into a building which is the Apes headquarters in Oakland City. Inside they find Virdon being kept captive by gorilla soldiers. Urko questions him on the location of the other renegades Burke and Galen. Urko gets angry and kicks Virdon to the ground. Dr. Zaius and General Urko are sitting discussing Virdon. Urko says he will beat or kill Virdon if necessary. Zaius mentions the High Council and states that killing Virdon will achieve nothing if the other renegades continue to spread the message that could cause unrest with the other humans. Virdon is taken by gorilla soldiers to a building with caged doors. They leave him alone. He looks around to see if he can get out. He notices he is imprisoned with the boy and the woman both sitting there silent. He runs over to the woman Arn to see if she is ok. Virdon asks the boy Kraik and woman Arn why they are being held captive. They are kept in a building that looks like a castle which Virdon says was built on Oil money by a rich man who wanted to live like a 16th century Baron. Virdon notices bars on the windows so they can’t escape. He works on yanking one of the bars until it finally comes loose enough to bend open. A gorilla soldier notices him and shoots at him. The gorilla had easy aim yet missed so Virdon realizes he is being kept as bait in a trip to lure in Burke and Galen. Dr. Zaius holds a photograph of Virdon and his wife and child taken back in the 20th century. Zaius states to Urko that he has studied humans and found they are extremely vulnerable in family situations. Zaius knows Virdon will tell the boy things they could never drag out of him. Virdon introduces himself to the boy Kraik officially. Virdon is sitting at a fire he built. He teaches Kraik the meaning of the handshake. Kraik tells Virdon he has no family. The woman Arn finds food that Kraik tries to take but Virdon teaches him to save some of it for another day. With a pot they work on sorting and cooking food. Virdon sits with Arn and Kraik and they all eat the stew they made. Kraik questions Virdon about the location of his friends Galen and Burke. Kraik comes to watch Virdon building an airplane out of wood. Virdon explained how in the past many people would fly and people were better off back then than now. Virdon goes and sits with Arn. Virdon makes a pouch for Kraik. Virdon asks Kraik to go find firewood and Arn questions Virdon about whether his stories are true. Virdon tells Kraik there is a machine in the Institute that can help them. Arn tells Virdon when she first met Tomar he lived on a farm with his brother Derlin. It was a beautiful place. Virdon notices the airplane he built is missing and goes to ask Kraik for it. Kraik throws down the plane and says “I hate you” to Virdon. Kraik goes to see the gorilla soldier to collect a reward for information he got about Virdon. Kraik comes back to the castle where Arn and Virdon are kept prisoners. He picks up the airplane and Arn tells him that it was made special for him by Virdon. Kraik apologizes to Virdon and tells him he knows a way out of the castle where they are held prisoners. Kraik goes back to the gorilla soldier and makes up a story about a gun that Virdon had. Virdon jumps out the window onto the gorilla guard and they wrestle. Virdon succeeds and helps Arn escape. Kraik, Virdon and Arn make their getaway. Virdon, Kraik and Arn make their way from a manhole in the middle of the street back to the Oakland City Institute. Virdon unburies the rubble of rocks again from the room where the computer is kept secret so they can listen to the computers message. Before he gets the message Urko and his men arrive. Zaius sees the computer and turns it on. A message starts to play that tells them Lower Level of the Midtown Railway Station gateway to Track Number Four is the location where world information is kept for future generations in computers.

- ZINK - Inside the Oakland Science Institute the computer with the projected hologram ends in the middle of its message and Galen, Virdon and Burke go looking for ways to repower it. Virdon states that there is probably zink in the power unit and thinks that copper plumbing pipe and a container and Sulphuric acid might get the computer powered up again. Galen, Virdon and Burke go on a hunt through rubble in the city to find the ingredients they need to create a battery to power the computer.
