(Continued)   INT. WORKSHOP - CLOSE ON CARSIUS - DAY   very pleased, staring at the o.s. glider.   CARSIUS  Magnificent!   CAMERA PULLS BACK, ANGLING TO INCLUDE Leuric working on the almost completed glider. Carsius moves to him.   CARSIUS  My dear Leuric, it’s going to be absolutely magnificent! How did you do it? Yesterday you were…so discouraged.   LEURIC  I changed the entire concept and made new plans…it…it came to me in the middle of the night.   CARSIUS  Good, good. Tell me. When will it be ready to fly?   LEURIC  We should be able to test it…  (shrugs)  …by tomorrow.   CARSIUS  (moving to door)  Splendid. I’ll send a message to Central City…telling them how well you’re doing.  (opens door)  I’m so pleased.   He waves a friendly hand and EXITS.   CLOSE ON LEURIC   also smiling in a pleased manner.   EXT. CENTRAL CITY - DAY (STOCK)   to ESTABLISH.   INT. ZAIUS’ QUARTERS - CLOSE SHOT - ZAIUS - DAY   intently reading a written message. A KNOCK is HEARD o.s.   ZAIUS  Come.   The DOOR OPENING is HEARD, CAMERA PULLING BACK TO INCLUDE Urko as he ENTERS, moving to Zaius.   ZAIUS  Yes, Urko?   URKO  I was told you received a message from Carsius.   ZAIUS  (eyes him)  Nothing slips by you, does it.  (nods)  Yes…  (indicates message)  Soon, the mastery of flying will be ours.   URKO  I find that hard to believe!  (turns)  I will go to Chatka to see for myself!   ZAIUS  Urko!   Urko hesitates. Zaius moves to him, CAMERA IN ON the two.   ZAIUS  Do not interfere. Carsius must have every opportunity to prove himself right…or wrong. Do you understand?   Urko considers for a moment, then nods, moving off through the door, CAMERA HOLDING ON Zaius looking after him, thoughtfully tapping the message.   EXT. GARRISON - ANGLE ON GALEN - NIGHT   approaching, CAMERA ANGLING him as he stops by two Guards on duty by the side door, indicating back.   GALEN  I’m sure those humans are up to no good.   GUARD  What humans?   GALEN  Didn’t you see them? Sneaking around back?  (indicates)  You’d better investigate…both of you. There were several of them.  (beat)  Well, go on! I’ll watch this post for you.   The Guards are hesitant until Galen indicates again. Hefting their rifles, they moves off and around a corner of the garrison.   ANOTHER ANGLE ON GALEN   turning, beckoning. After a moment, Virdon and Burke APPEAR from some nearby bushes, running through the door. Galen glances about, then follows.   INT. GARRISON CORRIDOR - ANGLE ON GALEN, BURKE AND VIRDON - NIGHT   approaching quickly but cautiously to a corner, holding up. Galen indicates ahead.   GALEN  That door. I’ll keep a lookout here.   They nod and proceed PAST CAMERA.   INT. WORKSHOP - ANGLE ON COMPLETED GLIDER - NIGHT   as Leuric ENTERS, admiring the craft. He yawns, CAMERA ANGLING with him as he goes to a pallet, yawns and stretches again, then starts to lay down, reacting as the SOUND of the DOOR OPENING is HEARD.   ANGLE ON VIRDON AND BURKE   ENTERING, seeing Leuric, CAMERA ANGLING Virdon to him. Burke moves to the glider.   LEURIC  Alan. Pete. What…?   VIRDON  Questions later! We’ve got to get you out of here!   Burke has grabbed a knife and is slitting the holding thongs on the glider, then the hide wings. Leuric reacts appalled.   LEURIC  Pete! No!   ANOTHER ANGLE   Leuric moves to stop Burke.   LEURIC  What are you doing?!   BURKE  Leave me alone, Leuric!   He wrenches away as Virdon pulls Leuric aside. Burke continues to destroy the glider, breaking supports, smashing the frame.   MED. CLOSE - VIRDON AND LEURIC   LEURIC  Are you insane?   VIRDON  Leuric, listen to me! Carsius has used you…and us as well.   LEURIC  What are you talking about?   VIRDON  You think the Apes want to fly so…so everything’ll be better for everybody…Apes and humans alike? No way!   LEURIC  But Carsius said…   VIRDON  Carsius may have said a lot of things!   Burke turns to them, extracting the grenade from under his tunic, holding it up before Leuric.   BURKE  You know what that is? It’s a grenade…a bomb! The Apes want to use them against the humans…to control them!  (indicates glider)  From the air…with that!   He turns back to his destruction of the glider. Leuric stares after him, then at Virdon, stunned.   LEURIC  Carsius…wouldn’t…   A door is HEARD TO OPEN. They whirl.   ANGLE INCLUDING CARSIUS   ENTERING from his quarters, holding up.   CARSIUS  Leuric, what’s…?  (reacts)  What have you done? Who…?  (yells)  Guards!   He quickly backs through the door.   CARSIUS  Guards! In here! Humans!   ANGLE ON VIRDON, BURKE AND LEURIC   as they propel Leuric out the door. CAMERA WHIPS TO HOLD ON Carsius seen through the door to his quarters, yelling and indicating:   CARSIUS  After them! Kill them!   A Guard APPEARS, giving chase PAST CAMERA.   INT. CORRIDOR - ON GALEN - NIGHT   glancing about furtively as o.s. SHOUTS are HEARD: “This way! Humans! Kill them!”   Galen is suddenly relieved as Virdon, Burke and Leuric run IN. Galen indicates and they move off down a side corridor at a run. A SHOT RINGS OUT.   ANGLE DOWN CORRIDOR TO GUARD   lowering his rifle, being joined by another Guard, both giving chase.   EXT. GARRISON - ANGLE TO DOOR - NIGHT   as Virdon, Burke, Leuric and Galen EMERGE, hesitating.   VIRDON  Split up!   Steering Leuric, he heads off in one direction while Galen and Burke head off in another. A moment later, the Guards APPEAR, holding up, looking first in one direction, then the other, bringing up their rifles, FIRING.   LOW ANGLE THROUGH BUSHES - VIRDON AND LEURIC   running forward. Leuric is hit, flailing up, falling BEFORE CAMERA, crying out in pain, grasping his arm. Virdon skids to stop, kneeling to him quickly.   LEURIC  My arm…my arm…   Virdon makes a quick inspection and starts to heft him up, suddenly freezing, staring up.   VIRDON’S P.O.V. - LOW ANGLE - GUARDS   moving in, rifles ready.   INT. CELL - LOW ANGLE TO DOOR - NIGHT   as it opens and Carsius, followed by a Guard, ENTERS, CAMERA ANGLING TO INCLUDE Leuric propped against a wall with Virdon tying a strip of cloth about Leuric’s wound. Both look up.   CARSIUS  (indicates to Guard)  Get a doctor for this one…and tell Konag I want a firing squad for Commander Virdon!   The Guard acknowledges and EXITS.   ANOTHER ANGLE   Carsius becomes smug as Virdon eyes him.   VIRDON  You know…?   CARSIUS  Two humans and a Chimp…who else would you be? Oh, the others escaped…but I’m sure they’ll be found and captured…perhaps in time for the same firing squad.   LEURIC  If you kill my friends…you will never fly…never!   CARSIUS  If you defy me, Leuric, you will also be put to death.   LEURIC  Oh? And what will you tell the Great Council in Central City?   Carsius is momentarily stopped. He tries a different approach.   CARSIUS  A good point. Perhaps, in my anger, I am being a bit too hasty. I’m sure we can arrive at a sensible solution. The ability to fly is the ultimate goal, is it not?   VIRDON  Carsius, we know why you want the Apes to fly. Grenades are pretty deadly weapons.   ANOTHER ANGLE   Carsius is stopped again, falling back on his nature.   CARSIUS  What you know is of no consequence!  (at Leuric)  You will repair the craft…or die…  (indicates Virdon)  …as he will die!   VIRDON  Hmph. We’re right back where we started from.  (beat)  Leuric can’t work with that arm.   LEURIC  And it was not I who designed the craft. It was him. All I did was put it together. Even if I could work, I would need him to start over. I couldn’t do it alone.   Carsius ponders this for a moment, then:   CARSIUS  How long would it take you?   VIRDON  Couple of days…   CARSIUS  (beat)  Very well, I will spare your life for a…couple of days. If you please me, I may…condescend to spare you entirely…and let the Council decide what to do with you. Is it agreed?   CLOSE ON VIRDON AND LEURIC   Virdon shrugs, adopting a wry attitude.   VIRDON  …What choice do we have?   EXT. GARRISON - LOW ANGLE - LONG SHOT - TROOPERS - NIGHT   mounted, approaching, led by Urko, riding up and reining in.   ANOTHER ANGLE - FAVORING URKO   dismounting, moving to a Guard by the main entrance.   URKO  I am Commander Urko!   GUARD  (snaps to)  Sir!   URKO  Take me to Minister Carsius. At once!   As they EXIT through the entrance.   POSSIBLE FADE OUT
