| ~ Dodge's last words |
One night Caesar escaped the sanctuary to spread the ALZ-113 to the apes at the sanctuary. Caesar was out of his cage, influencing Dodge to attack him with his electrocuter. Dodge was punched in the face by Caesar. After locking up the other ape handler, Rodney, in one of the cages, Dodge gained back consciousness and tried to electrocute Caesar with the taser. Caesar retaliates by spraying water at him, which causes him to be electrocuted, killing him.
His death was captured on a surveillance camera, which police officers and John Landon witnessed Dodge's untimely demise.
