* 2: Three gorilla soldiers on horseback stop in the woods with their rifles and notice the three renegades, Virdon, Burke and Galen, walking among some rocks. The gorilla fires at them and Virdon is hit. Galen quickly leads the way on foot as Burke carries the wounded Virdon. The three gorilla soldiers on horseback race down through the trees to catch the renegades. Galen, Virdon and Burke hide in amongst some bushes and camp in a cave.
* 3: It is now night time and a fire is burning in the cave as Virdon lays near it and Burke gives him water. Galen and Burke sit near Virdon. Virdon is badly injured from the gunshot. Burke states to Galen that they need to get Virdon to a hospital. Virdon jokes that his blue cross medical coverage expired about a 1000 years ago. Galen explains it would be safe to take Virdon to the chief surgeon at the Medical Center because he was once involved with her and had once planned to get married. He says things didn’t work out but they are still best of friends. Virdon says not to bother but Galen says he will go off on his own to the Medical Center to talk to her.
* 4: At the Medical Center numerous humans walk around while inside Dr. Kira is inside washing her hands after a failed operation where her patient died. Her superior at the hospital, Leander, commends her on a successful operation and how much this will help science. Kira is frustrated. Leander comments that Dr. Kira is the best surgeon and the most beautiful and invites her to dinner at 8pm for Apricot Wine and Vegetable Casserole. She agrees to meet him for dinner.
* 5: Dr. Kira walks back into her office and finds flowers on her table. Behind her is Galen. He asks her for help. Kira calls Galen a criminal and can’t understand why she would care for humans and suggests calling the police on him. Galen says that they would kill him and in anger Kira says maybe that would be a good thing. Galen reminds her that he loved her and then says he better leave. Kira stops him from leaving and asks Galen about what happened to him since he used to be a law abiding citizen. Galen states that he realized humans and apes were meant to live as equals. Kira figures to help Galen she must therefore help the humans. She says her chances for freedom are destroyed by Galen coming back into her life.
* 6: Galen makes it back to the cave with a bag of supplies. Virdon is still lying down near the fire in the cave and in pain. Galen has brought some physician outfits and supplies as he plans to pretend to be a medical doctor to get Virdon into the Medical Center. He also has some clothes for Burke who will be his human assistant. Virdon says he is in no shape to walk to the Medical Center.
* 7: Burke walks up to a wagon manned by a human and a gorilla soldier with rifle. Burke tells them that he must deliver grain to the Prefect and needs some help. Galen leaps onto the wagon and knocks the gorilla soldier down. The human runs away scared while the gorilla soldier and Burke fight. Burke grabs the rifle and knocks the gorilla out.
* 8: Dr. Kira is finishing her 8pm date having dinner with Leander at the Medical Center. Her mind is distracted and Leander notices and asks her about what is worrying her. She questions him about if they had dealt too harshly with a human orderly they recently sent to Disciplinary Camp for disobeying orders. Leander says at best humans are good for basic tasks but at their worst they are just bringers of hate and violence. Dr. Stole, another chimp at the Medical Center knocks on Leander’s door and notifies them that a Dr. Adrian has arrived. Dr. Adrian is Galen in disguise. Dr. Kira goes to welcome him.
* 9: Outside Dr. Kira welcomes Dr. Adrian and asks a human helper to bring Burke and Virdon into the humans quarters. The middle aged human servant Travin helps Burke carry Virdon in. Travin and Burke argue over the treatment humans should receive but Burke threatens to report this Travin to Dr. Kira which convinces him to give Virdon a special place in his own room.
* 10: Burke sits with the other human men to eat supper but he does not like the food and criticizes it. Travin’s daughter Arna pours Burke some water in a cup but Travin yells at Burke to not talk to her. He says the girl Arna has no name. Jordo is another male human at the dinner table who states to Burke that the girl is Travin’s daughter.
* 11: Galen and Dr. Kira are in her office discussing the pro’s and con’s of operating on Virdon to remove the bullet. Galen says he could find a human anatomy medical book to help with the process. He tells her humans used to write books when they ruled the world. Kira things Galen is mad. He says he has seen such books in Zaius’ study. Leander walks in and questions her about not giving a lecture she had planned. She tells him that she had postponed so she could show the facility to Dr. Adrian. Galen bluffs Leander with some fancy talk about the medical field and that the common cold has him stumped. Leander says he likes Dr. Adrian. Once Leander leaves the room Galen tells Kira she can advance medical science for apes if she had the human book.
* 12: Virdon is becoming delirious and burning up. Burke and Travin cool him off with water. Virdon starts rambling about the world being run by apes which confuses Travin. Dr. Adrian comes in as Travin starts asking questions. Adrian says he will hold him personally responsible if Virdon, his human orderly dies.
* 13: In the other room the young woman Arna screams as Lafer, one of the male humans starts to hit her. Burke races in and fights him until the fight ends. Lafer says he was hitting Arna because she spilled some water. Travin says his daughter Arna is evil and must be punished. He tells Dr. Adrian that humans are not allowed to carry knives in the city but Adrian tells him that his human servants do whatever he tells them. Travin doesn’t like hearing this
* 14: In Central City, one of the rural gorilla soldiers comes in to tell General Urko that he saw an ape help a human commit a crime. The gorilla soldier was the one that Burke knocked out at the wagon. General Urko realizes it must be the humans and Galen and tells the rural gorilla soldier that he was confused and didn’t understand who attacked him to make light of the situation. Urko says he will postpone his trip into the new territories to see if anything happens here locally.
* 15: Dr. Adrian and Burke ride out of the grounds of the Medical Center towards the home of Dr. Zaius. Gorilla soldiers stop them and Adrian states that Zaius has had a heart attack. The gorilla soldiers let them through
* 16: Virdon is deliriously dreaming and talking out loud and calls for a Sally in his dream and tells her not to go away. Dr. Kira listens to his ramblings while she cools him off with a wet rag. Virdon asks Kira where Galen and Burke are. Kira tells him that they have gone to find a human medical book. Kira reams out Virdon saying that humans can’t control their emotions or appreciate that Galen is risking his life for him.
* 17: Galen and Burke arrive at Zaius’ home and Galen tells Chester, the gorilla soldier not to come in to help as this is not a criminal matter. They bring an empty stretcher and go in the house and close the doors. Galen finds the medical book locked in a cabinet. The book is a 20th century printing by human author Walter Mather titled Principles of Surgery. Burke uses a big knife to open up the locked book cabinet. Galen asks Burke where he learned to pick locks and Burke states Jersey City PS103. Galen and Burke put a heavy bust statue of Dowsa, one of Zaius’ heroes and predecessors, onto the stretcher along with 2 pillows and the medical book and cover it up to carry back to the stretcher.
* 18: Dr. Kira is flipping through the human anatomy medical book and sees diagrams of the circulatory system and surgical procedures. She doesn’t understand why Zaius wouldn’t share this book but Galen says its due to political reasons. When there is a knock at the door she hides the book in her desk. Travin comes in to tell them that Dr. Adrian’s servant is very sick.
* 19: In the humans quarters Virdon is having severe hallucinations and Dr. Kira tells Galen and Burke its probably too late to operate as the bullet must have moved closer to a nerve and that he could die. Burke suggestions a blood transfusion but Kira says that Leander had tried it a few years ago with a human and it failed and the other human died quickly. Burke suggests the blood types were probably not a match.
* 20: Blood tests are taken from the 11 humans at the Medical Center but Burke asks for the blood from the 12th human on the list which is Arna, the girl with no name. Galen pulls Burke aside and questions whether they should tamper with the taboo’s of these humans. Burke says that Virdon’s blood type is AB Negative and says there is a chance of only 1 in 10 of finding a matching donor. Galen asks for the girl, Arna. Burke goes down the hallway to speak to Arna who is sweeping the floor. He asks if she would donate blood.
* 21: In the lab Burke says there are only 2 out of 12 potential compatible donors. One has AB Negative and the other has O Negative. Galen and Burke are assisted by a middle aged female human named Brigid. Burke asks to find the guy named Lafer that he had fought with earlier. Brigid storms out nervously but Galen stops her and asks again. Brigid says that Lafer had ran away scared assuming they were going to take all of his blood. Burke goes to get Arna who is the other compatible donor.
* 22: Burke asks Arna to donate her blood and she says no. Arna runs out of the building and Burke chases her. Arna says she cannot help because she is evil. Her father Travin comes out and tells Arna to explain to Burke what happened. Arna says she killed her brother who was only 16. Her brother had been in a hunting experiment and he was taken to the hospital for a blood transplant. Travin gave permission for the ape doctors to experiment to try to save the dying son. Arna had killed her brother with her evil blood. Burke tells them that her blood was not evil just incompatible.
* 23: In the operating room Arna and Virdon lay on tables while Burke, Dr. Kira and Dr. Adrian are ready to run the blood transfusion. Leander walks in and Dr. Adrian explains how this is a new process of his. Leander says it didn’t work with Arna the last time they tried a blood transfusion. Adrian has Leander put on a face mask. Leander notices Burke hiding a book.
* 24: Dr. Kira says that she can’t get to the bullet. Burke reads in the book to make a second incision. Leander is angry that the human orderly is giving orders to Kira. Leander asks for the book. Leander says its treason and Kira says the book exists and to ignore it is madness.
* 25: General Urko and Dr. Zaius meet at Zaius’ home where there has been a break-in and the statue is missing. Urko asks for the key to open the book cabinet. Zaius says one of these days these books will save them but Urko says one day these books will enslave them. Urko notices a book is missing and Zaius says the book missing is a book on surgery.
* 26: In the operating room Leander says it looks like the blood transfusion is working. But then Virdon’s heart stops beating and Leander revives him. Kira pulls out the bullet. Burke tells Arna that Virdon will be alright. They all hear horses approaching the medical center.
* 27: Urko comes in and asks Travin about three renegades. Leander comes out and tells Urko to stop shouting in the hospital. Urko asks for the astronauts. Leander says they were there but they had gone. Leander says Urko better leave since the black plague has hit the hospital and seven have died in the past few days which is why the renegades left. Leander comes back to the operating room and Kira asks why he helped the humans. He said they may have found the book and imprisoned Kira.
* 28: Virdon, still recovering from his operation, lays in the back of a wagon and asks for the name of the girl who saved his life. Her father gives her permission to reveal her name as Arna. Her father goes with the renegades to help them leave the Medical Center. Galen says goodbye to Kira. Kira says she understands about his relationship with the humans and sees its influence even on Leander.

When there is a knock at the door she hides the book in her desk. Travin comes in to tell them that Dr. Adrian’s servant is very sick. In the humans quarters Virdon is having severe hallucinations and Dr. Kira tells Galen and Burke its probably too late to operate as the bullet must have moved closer to a nerve and that he could die. Burke suggestions a blood transfusion but Kira says that Leander had tried it a few years ago with a human and it failed and the other human died quickly. Burke suggests the blood types were probably not a match. Blood tests are taken from the 11 humans at the Medical Center but Burke asks for the blood from the 12th human on the list which is Arna, the girl with no name. Galen pulls Burke aside and questions whether they should tamper with the taboo’s of these humans. Burke says that Virdon’s blood type is AB Negative and says there is a chance of only 1 in 10 of finding a matching donor. Galen asks for the girl, Arna. Burke goes down the hallway to speak to Arna who is sweeping the floor. He asks if she would donate blood. In the lab Burke says there are only 2 out of 12 potential compatible donors. One has AB Negative and the other has O Negative. Galen and Burke are assisted by a middle aged female human named Brigid. Burke asks to find the guy named Lafer that he had fought with earlier. Brigid storms out nervously but Galen stops her and asks again. Brigid says that Lafer had ran away scared assuming they were going to take all of his blood. Burke goes to get Arna who is the other compatible donor. Later in the operating room Arna and Virdon lay on tables while Burke, Dr. Kira and Dr. Adrian are ready to run the blood transfusion. Leander walks in and Dr. Adrian explains how this is a new process of his. Leander says it didn’t work with Arna the last time they tried a blood transfusion. Adrian has Leander put on a face mask. Leander notices Burke hiding a book. Dr. Kira says that she can’t get to the bullet. Burke reads in the book to make a second incision. Leander is angry that the human orderly is giving orders to Kira. Leander asks for the book. Leander says its treason and Kira says the book exists and to ignore it is madness. Leander says it looks like the blood transfusion is working. But then Virdon’s heart stops beating and Leander revives him. Kira pulls out the bullet. Burke tells Arna that Virdon will be alright. Later Galen says goodbye to Kira. Kira says she understands about his relationship with the humans and sees its influence even on Leander.

Arna runs out of the building and Burke chases her. Arna says she cannot help because she is evil. Her father Travin comes out and tells Arna to explain to Burke what happened. Arna says she killed her brother who was only 16. Her brother had been in a hunting experiment and he was taken to the hospital for a blood transplant. Travin gave permission for the ape doctors to experiment to try to save the dying son. Arna had killed her brother with her evil blood. Burke tells them that her blood was not evil just incompatible.

* KIRA, DR. - Female Chimpanzee, Doctor and Surgeon at Medical Center outside Central City. Past fiancée of Galen. Currently dating another doctor Leander. Virdon is badly injured from a gunshot. Burke states to Galen that they need to get Virdon to a hospital. Galen explains it would be safe to take Virdon to the chief surgeon at the Medical Center because he was once involved with her and had once planned to get married. He says things didn’t work out but they are still best of friends. Virdon says not to bother but Galen says he will go off on his own to the Medical Center to talk to her. At the Medical Center Dr. Kira is inside washing her hands after a failed operation where her patient died. Her superior at the hospital, Leander, commends her on a successful operation and how much this will help science. Kira is frustrated. Leander comments that Dr. Kira is the best surgeon and the most beautiful and invites her to dinner at 8pm for Apricot Wine and Vegetable Casserole. She agrees to meet him for dinner. Dr. Kira walks back into her office and finds flowers on her table. Behind her is Galen. He asks her for help. Kira calls Galen a criminal and can’t understand why she would care for humans and suggests calling the police on him. Galen says that they would kill him and in anger Kira says maybe that would be a good thing. Galen reminds her that he loved her and then says he better leave. Kira stops him from leaving and asks Galen about what happened to him since he used to be a law abiding citizen. Galen states that he realized humans and apes were meant to live as equals. Kira figures to help Galen she must therefore help the humans. She says her chances for freedom are destroyed by Galen coming back into her life. Later Dr. Kira is finishing her 8pm date having dinner with Leander at the Medical Center. Her mind is distracted and Leander notices and asks her about what is worrying her. She questions him about if they had dealt too harshly with a human orderly they recently sent to Disciplinary Camp for disobeying orders. Leander says at best humans are good for basic tasks but at their worst they are just bringers of hate and violence. An orderly knocks on Leander’s door and notifies them that a Dr. Adrian has arrived. Dr. Adrian is Galen in disguise. Dr. Kira goes to welcome him. Outside Dr. Kira welcomes Dr. Adrian and asks a human helper to bring Burke and Virdon into the humans quarters. The middle aged human servant Travin helps Burke carry Virdon in. Travin and Burke argue over the treatment humans should receive but Burke threatens to report this Travin to Dr. Kira which convinces him to give Virdon a special place in his own room. Galen and Dr. Kira are in her office discussing the pro’s and con’s of operating on Virdon to remove the bullet. Galen says he could find a human anatomy medical book to help with the process. He tells her humans used to write books when they ruled the world. Kira things Galen is mad. He says he has seen such books in Zaius’ study. Leander walks in and questions her about not giving a lecture she had planned. She tells him that she had postponed so she could show the facility to Dr. Adrian. Galen bluffs Leander with some fancy talk about the medical field and that the common cold has him stumped. Leander says he likes Dr. Adrian. Once Leander leaves the room Galen tells Kira she can advance medical science for apes if she had the human book. Later Virdon is deliriously dreaming and talking out loud and calls for a Sally in his dream and tells her not to go away. Dr. Kira listens to his ramblings while she cools him off with a wet rag. Virdon asks Kira where Galen and Burke are. Kira tells him that they have gone to find a human medical book. Kira reams out Virdon saying that humans can’t control their emotions or appreciate that Galen is risking his life for him. Later Dr. Kira is flipping through the human anatomy medical book and sees diagrams of the circulatory system and surgical procedures. She doesn’t understand why Zaius wouldn’t share this book but Galen says its due to political reasons. When there is a knock at the door she hides the book in her desk. Travin comes in to tell them that Dr. Adrian’s servant is very sick.

Zaius says one of these days these books will save them but Urko says one day these books will enslave them. Urko notices a book is missing and Zaius says the book missing is a book on surgery.
