He presses the gas and hits the cars in front of him and behind him, getting the attention of the neighbor, Hunsiker, who threatens and pushes down Charles. In his state of dementia, Charles gets into his neighbor's car and turns it on, the key carelessly left in the ignition.

At first his father improves but five years later, his body's immune system develops antibodies that fight off the virus and his dementia returns.

After three years, Will also gives a sample of ALZ-112 to his father, Charles, who is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. Caesar is able to learn sign language with the help of Will and a veterinarian named Caroline Aranha. Will's money and power hungry boss, Steven Jacobs, orders all twelve test chimpanzees put down after Bright Eyes' rampage, but Robert Franklin, the chimp handler responsible for carrying out this order, cannot bring himself to kill the chimpanzee baby, and instead gives it to Will, who names him Caesar and raises him in his house.Ĭaesar inherited his mother's high intelligence due to the drug, thus learning at a fast rate. It is then discovered, however, that Bright Eyes' aggression was not due to the drug, but due to her maternal instinct to protect her baby, to whom she had secretly given birth a day or two earlier. Much to everyone's shock, Bright Eyes goes on a rampage two months into her trial, before security is forced to kill her in front of board members, thus destroying any chance of developing ALZ-112 further. One of his test subjects is 'Bright Eyes', a female chimpanzee recently captured in Africa. ALZ-112 not only repairs brain cells, but genetically enhances them, giving chimpanzees a human level of intelligence. Will Rodman, a San Francisco scientist, has been working on 'ALZ-112', a genetically engineered retrovirus that may be a cure for Alzheimer's Disease, for five years.
