After being constantly picked on by both Alpha male Rocket and the shelter's vile son, Dodge, Caesar begins to build a resistance to their bullying. Caesar, having never been locked up a caged environment before, becomes home sick and draws in chalk on the wall of his cell, the shape of his window from his room in the Rodman House. Franklin encourages Will to take the infant home temporarily until he can find a sanctuary, only the newborn's visit to the Rodman House ends up being permanent with Will keeping the chimpanzee and naming him Caesar.Įight years after Bright Eyes' death, her now teenage son, Caesar has been locked up in the San Bruno Primate Shelter after biting the finger of the family neighbor for assaulting his adoptive grandfather. Franklin and Will work out that the ALZ-112 hadn't caused Bright Eyes' aggressive behavior and that she was only being protective of her baby. Will visits the cage room to find chimpanzee handler Robert Franklin crouched over a newborn baby chimpanzee.

The ALZ-112 trials were shut down as it was believed Bright Eyes had gone wild because of the drug. When she was free and ran wild and ended up being shot dead in the conference room of Gen-Sys Laboratories in front of Will Rodman and the Gen-Sys Board Members. When test chimpanzee Bright Eyes began acting strange, her handlers attempted to bribe her out of her cage.
