Maurice then witnessed Caesar waking Rocket and leading him to the play area, where he knocked him down and cornered the alpha with Buck. Maurice and Caesar traded looks before Caesar left to the play area to release the gorilla Buck, who became grateful to the intelligent ape. That night, Maurice saw Caesar unlocking his pen with a switchblade, which Caesar pocketed from Dodge's friend, tied to twigs, and opening the hatch. Maurice then witnessed Caesar seizing one of Dodge's friend briefly before letting him go, which the orangutan realized that Caesar was planning something. Maurice then jumped up as Dodge pressed his cattle prod on Rocket's cell, causing a static volt to run through the rest of the cells. Maurice gazed at one of them, a female, and startled her, causing Maurice to turn his back to them. As night fell, Maurice noticed Dodge walking through the cell hallway with three of his friends. When the buzzer went off to call it a day, Maurice and the apes returned to their cells. As Caesar sat alone at the top, Maurice noticed he was looking around as if he was planning something. Maurice sat on his usual spot, chewing on a twig as he spotted Caesar climbing up the center tree and keeping his head down to avoid Rocket. Maurice sensed Caesar felt betrayed until Dodge ran the alarm for the apes to head to the play area. The next day, Maurice noticed Caesar leaving his cell and returning moments later in a rage, followed by Caesar wiping off the circular diamond symbol he drew two nights ago on his wall. As Caesar Signed what the humans were doing, Maurice Signed he doesn't know, both unaware that Lucky was taken to Gen-Sys for AL-113 testing. Not turning, Maurice heard John shooting Lucky with a tranq and Dodge dragging the unconscious chimp on a roller. Maurice warned Caesar to be careful because John and Dodge don't like smart apes.

As Caesar asked him in Sign how he knew how to do so, Maurice revealed he learned from being a circus orangutan, which made Caesar happy until Maurice spotted Dodge entering the holding pens with his father John Landon, who was holding a tranq gun.

Catching Caesar's attention, Maurice asked him in Sign if his hand hurt, which surprised Caesar.

That night, Maurice watched Caesar sulking in his cell and decided to interact with the strange ape. Maurice kept still even when the chimps followed until Dodge shot both Caesar and Rocket with tranqs, which made the chimp crowd disperse. Keeping his eye on Caesar attempting to greet Rocket, Maurice realized Caesar was smarter than the apes until he was pulled from his thought by Rocket's assault on Caesar, which led to a chase on the center tree and Rocket biting Caesar's left hand, which made him fall from the tree. Maurice then saw Rocket rising and hooting, sensing the alpha's hostility against the newcomer. Maurice saw Caesar entering the area, and found him strange as he wore human clothing. Two days later in the play area, he sat close to the wall with the sunset wallpaper and observed the chimpanzees. One day, Maurice picked up the scent of a newcomer named Caesar and kept quiet as the rest of the chimpanzees screeched and hooted in hostility and Dodge Landon berating them for amusement. Rise of the Planet of the Apes Meeting Caesar Before he turned fifteen, Maurice was sold from his circus and sent to the San Bruno Primate Shelter, where he bunkered with fellow apes Rocket, Heston, Andy, Lucky, Vanessa, Cornelia, Buck, and countless other chimpanzees. He was also taught Sign Language from one of the circus workers. In the beginning of his life, Maurice was part of a circus and from his cage he witnessed the dark side of humanity. Over the next ten years, Maurice remains loyal to Caesar and serves as the colony's overseer and as a teacher to the new generation of apes. During the Ape Rebellion, Maurice served as the second of Caesar's lieutenants, the first being Rocket. Seeing Caesar's potential, Maurice befriended him becoming Caesar's best and most trusted friend. He watched over Caesar and discovered his intelligence, hence learning about his ability to communicate with sign language. Maurice is an evolved Bornean Orangutan and a former circus ape who resided at the San Bruno Primate Shelter with Cornelia, Rocket and Buck. And us." ―Maurice's promise to Caesar before his passing.
