Arrakis.
Dune.
A landsostarvedfor water...
asingle tearis cherished.
Wildernesshome to themysterious desert tribes called ''Fremen''...
wholong foramessiah to free them from Harkonnenbondage.
A messiah--
aboyonceknown as Paul...
nowknown as...
Muad´dib.
Too impatient, Farok.
You moved too soon.
Try again.
Watch his posture.
Even the slightest change in his breathing gives you advantage.
Better, Farok. You´ll have it soon.
I am Otheym.
These are my brothers from Sietch Gara Kulan.
We´ve come to find the one who calls himself Muad´dib.
You´re a long way from your tribe, Otheym.
We´ve come tojoin your crusade.
We want to learn the weirding way.
We want to become Fedaykin.
- You have the blessing ofyour Naib? - We do.
- We´ll make good fighters, Muad´dib. - I believeyou.
Let theirwatersjoin with ours.
We must congratulateyou on the perfection ofyour heir, Baron.
He faces his 1 00th slave gladiator...
in the arena this afternoon.
He appears ready.
Well, then, perhaps we might take this opportunity...
to conduct our conversations.
- There is much to discuss. - Indeed.
Ifthat meets with your approval, milady.
I am quite entertained here.
- Fine. - Byyour leave, then.
What other house would´ve been willing to humiliate itself...
so the emperor could rid himself ofa troublesome duke?
He´s been asking himself that very question.
Areyou suggesting...
that the emperor contemplates a move against me?
Speculation is not a worthy science, Baron.
Betterwe spent our energy on what´s most important:
The spice must flow.
I must say...
I´ve always found Harkonnen architecture...
rather curious.
Harkonnenpatrols have takenmore risks...
coming deeper into the southern regions than ever before.
Sooner or later, our bribes to the guild won´t be enough to protect us.
Then it´s agreed.
We move with the next moons.
When the Harkonnen find this place...
there must be nothing left but the wind howling through the rocks.
There is no turning back now.
Subdue the Maker.
The Maker is dead.
The Water of Life.
May Shai-halud have mercy on both ofus.
When night falls again...
we have to leave this sietch...
that has sheltered us for so long.
We must go south...
into the deep desert...
where the demon Harkonnen will not pursue us.
But our Reverend Mother...
will not survive another hajra.
So that we don´t have to make thatjourney...
without her strength and guidance...
SayyadinaJessica has consented...
to undergo the rites at this time.
This is dangerous, andJessica may fail.
So that we don´t lose all...
Chani, daughter of Liet...
will be consecrated as Sayyadina...
Friend ofGod.
I consecrate the daughter of Liet...
in the Sayyadina.
Onehundredkills!
Feyd themerciless!
Feyd themagnificent!
Here is the Water of Life...
the water that will freeyour soul.
Ifyou are a Reverend Mother...
the universe will open toyou.
Let Shai-haludjudge now.
You must drink it now.
What´s happening to her?
The water is poisoned until she changes it.
This must take its course.
Mother? Mother?
You cannot go there.
That is the place we cannot look.
The place only the Kwisatz Haderach may go.
You must turn away,Jessica...
or it will driveyou mad.
Don´t be afraid.
I have much to showyou.
Here is my life, Jessica ofthe Weirding.
And the lives that have come before...
they areyours now.
You are pregnant.
You should have told us.
Holy Mothers, what have we done?
This changes you both.
Your daughter is in danger.
Take her intoyour arms.
She must see all that we see.
That is the onlyway you can save her.
Change the waters,Jessica.
You must change them now.
The plan was perfect...
in its simplicity and viciousness.
Ofcourse it was.
You helped your uncle design it, didn´tyou?
Duke Leto thought he was gaining control ofArrakis...
but he was only being fattened up for sacrifice.
The kill, Feyd.
Tell me about the kill.
It was swift and merciless.
The Atreides never had a chance.
The Sardaukar had the palace sealed within hours.
The Sardaukar?
I sent the final communique toyour father myself.
Mother?
Yes?
Mother Ramallo is gone.
But she remains.
You have changed the waters.
Now we knowyou cannot be false.
The Reverend Mother has changed the Water of Life.
It´s now safe for us to drink!
The son and his mother...
the duke´s concubine and her son, what did you do with them?
Lost in storm.
Devoured by the desert.
You found their bodies and disposed ofthem?
Never found them.
You never found the bodies?
You´re trembling.
I´m afraid.
Ofwhat?
Ofyou.
You make me see things.
What doyou see?
I see us...
together.
There is a great storm.
I have a child in my arms.
Our child, Muad´dib.
It´s not a dream.
I knowyou, Chani.
I´ve always known you.
We´ve sat upon a rock above the sands.
I´ve eased your fears.
We´ve caressed in the darkness ofthe sietch.
We´ve grown old together.
History willsay that the Fremen wereabout to findtheirmessiah...
thatPaulAtreides wouldfindhis revenge...
andthe worldas weknewit wouldchange forever.
Pick up the pace, you lazy desert rats.
We have a quota to meet.
Sound the alarm!
Disperse men to the safe houses.
Get word to Stilgar.
We´ll evacuate the city tomorrow.
Halt!
Turn around.
Papers!
I said your papers, you scum--
There´s a tunnel out ofthe city at the foot ofthe steps.
The blessings of Muad´dib be with you and your family.
Your plan worked, Muad´dib.
Now they know we can strike them at will.
- We could take the city in an hour. - It´s not time.
But they are vulnerable, Muad´dib.
Notyet.
The advance unit found something in the chaos.
Something...
you should see.
There was a secret crematorium...
in one ofthe Harkonnen barracks.
And this was all...
ofyour father that was left.
The men think it´s an omen...
a sign that our final battle with the Harkonnen is at hand.
Yourvisions frighten me.
There are things still hidden from me.
Places I can´t go, things I can´t see.
Doyou everworry thatjust trying to see the future changes it?
We´re speeding toward the abyss, Chani.
I have to see a way around it.
Perhaps it´s time for me to leave.
I´ve been away from our son too long.
We´ll make arrangements once we reach Cave of Ridges.
We will be there after the next raids.
Will we ever have peace?
We´ll have victory.
I´m sorry, milord. He said you must come at once.
Doyou really take me for that much ofa fool, boy?
I don´t understand, Uncle.
What kind ofpoison did you choose?
Something slow and painful, I assume, soyou could watch?
Tell me, Feyd...
why didn´tyou simply assassinate meyourself?
You had plenty ofopportunity to.
You taught me that my own hands must always remain clean.
Oh, quick, boy. Very quick.
You´re good material, and I hate to waste...
good material.
Now, give me one good reason why I shouldn´t kill you right here.
My brother.
Yes, that´s right.
Your dim brother. IfI kill you...
then he would be my only heir.
And he can´t even put down a dirty mob ofreligious lunatics.
Yes, you´re clever.
But not that clever.
And don´t get any ideas.
My men haveyou in their sights even as we speak.
Don´t worry. IfI´d wanted you dead...
you´d never had made it down the hall.
You´re going to let me live?
I can´t verywell leave the wealth ofArrakis...
to someone who´s dead.
What wealth?
Every communique brings news ofanother Fremen raid.
By the time my idiot ofa brother is through...
the emperor himself will have to intervene.
You´re not as dim as I thought.
You intend to draw the emperor himselfinto this?
You see?
This is whyyou need me--
to helpyou think, to helpyou plot.
Why doyou think I tolerate the incompetence ofyour brother?
Because it amuses me? Think, Feyd. Think.
There must be a method to this madness...
even though you´ve been too dull to divine it.
The spice.
Ofcourse, the spice.
The one thing that could possibly draw the emperor...
away from his imperial pleasures...
out into the wastelands ofthe empire...
where he is vulnerable...
where he can be destroyed.
And Duke Leto wasjust the beginning...
the prelude to a move on the imperial throne itself.
But timing is everything, beautiful boy.
Patience is our ally.
We must not make the emperor suspicious with foolishness like this.
So what will it be?
I giveyou my pledge.
Good.
Now let the emperor mock House Harkonnen...
call us swine...
because in the end his throne will be mine.
That´s it, Hannah.
Good. Good, Hannah.
Another healthy fighter for the cause.
Alia, you were told to wait.
He looks like Mitha´s son.
How can you know that, child?
The slaughter on Bela Tegeuse is history.
You weren´t even born.
But Mother, I saw it, and it´s true.
Yes, it´s true.
I hate them.
They stare at me. Theywhisperwhile I pass.
It hurts my feelings.
They´re confused, Alia.
- You frighten them. - Because I´m a freak.
You´re not a freak.
Who has said that?
No one.
Then don´tyou ever say it again.
My children are not freaks.
But I can´t help it. I just know things.
Things I shouldn´t know, but I just do.
It was a cruel thing I did toyou.
I took the Water of Life when you were still in mywomb.
No one should ever be wakened to consciousness as you were.
But we´ll make them understand.
We´ll make them see...
thatyou´re notjust a little girl.
Thatyou´ve never really been one.
I want my brother.
What is it?
He came to challengeyou in open combat.
You killed him?
I took care ofit.
But he came to challenge me.
He wasn´t worthy, Muad´dib.
Otheym, get Stilgar.
Tell him to summon the Maker.
There´s only one way to stop these challenges.
You know what this will mean between you and Stil.
The men will wantyou to call him out.
Only ifI survive the Maker.
Just rememberwhat I´ve taughtyou. Do it simply and directly.
- Nothing fancy. - I´ll remember.
Stand close enough thatyou can mount when he passes...
but not so close he can crush you.
- I´ll remember. - You will hear him beforeyou see him.
When you takeyour stand...
you must become completely still.
You must become a Dune in yourvery essence.
I´ll remember.
See thatyou do.
Fremen ride the worm by the time they are 1 2.
I don´t want an old man likeyou shaming my teaching.
He won´t fail.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
I will face my fear.
I will let it pass through me. Only I will remain.
He is too close.
He´s not leaving enough room.
I can second him. It´s allowed, even in the test.
No!
He must do this alone.
He is turning it. He is turning it!
Take positions!
Is it our turn now, Muad´dib?
You and me?
I don´t think I´ve ever seen one that big.
Look, there.
Spice.
We´ve never come so far south. The Fremen would never allow this.
No choice. The Spacing Guild is buying up all the spice there is.
- Nothing left for us. - This looks like a rich patch.
- I´ll call in the harvester. - Get some men on those rocks first.
The Harkonnen patrols won´t be this far out.
It´s not the Harkonnen I´m worried about.
- I´ll be damned. A false patch. - Get the men back aboard!
Put the knife away, Gurney Halleck.
Who is it that knows the name ofGurney Halleck?
Is it truly Paul? You young pup!
Young pup!
Soyou´re the reason the Fremen have gotten so clever?
I´d never have expected you to fall for such a simple trick.
Desperate times, my lord.
Harkonnen patrols have forced us south deeper and deeper.
Whereyou might´ve seen things you shouldn´t.
This is Gurney Halleck, Stil.
My father´s weapons master. One ofmy teachers.
There aren´t many ofus...
who haven´t heard the name Gurney Halleck.
This is Stilgar, the Naib ofour sietch.
Feel the wind.
You´re the one they call Muad´dib?
That´s my Fremen name. Come.
We´ll talk ofall these things while we wait out the storm.
Storm? We didn´t see any signs.
It comes soon. Trust me.
What happens to my men?
We´ll decide what to do with them after the storm.
We´ll have to hurry if we´re going to save the ´thopter.
This is one ofthe things you should not have seen.
You have many such hiding places?
Many times many.
We call this one Cave of Ridges.
Would you like me to bring coffee?
Yes.
And more food.
Yourwoman?
The mother ofmy firstborn.
So much has happened. The boy I knew...
has now become a man.
- Thanks to our enemies. - Cowards.
They hide in their cities in garrisons...
hoping you will wearyourselfout with useless raids.
In otherwords, they´re immobilized.
Whileyou go where and when you choose.
A tactic I learned from you, Gurney man.
What aboutyour men?
Smugglers, all. Good men.
Some newcomers.
Off-worlders.
It´s hard to find recruits these days.
Any ofmy father´s men?
Those that weren´t butchered by the Harkonnen...
bribed whoever they could to leave Arrakis.
Everyone thought--
We all believed you were dead, my lord.
Butyou stayed.
Awaiting an opportunity forvengeance.
I knew we´d be reunited. I saw it.
You´re the only one left to me, my lord.
Hawat, Idaho, your father--
all dead, all betrayed.
I would´ve gladly sacrificed myselfif I could´ve taken the traitorwith me.
My father once spoke about desert power.
I rememberwell.
Well, you´vejust met it.
The surface ofthis planet is ours.
No storm, no worm...
not even the emperor´s Sardaukar can stop us now.
Enlist with me.
Feed on revenge with us.
Enlist?
I never leftyour service.
That stupid swine seems almost begging for me to intervene.
The baron is a pig, Father, but he is not stupid.
Rabban has lost almost 50,000 troops in the past twoyears.
Arrakis is a fierce planet.
Attrition cannot explain such losses. He´s losing five to one.
Read between the lines.
You are saying the baron is allowing this rebellion to continue?
I´m saying the baron can count as well as we.
For the sake ofargument, what ifthere were only...
20,000 people in a Fremen sietch?
And what ifthere were only 250 such communities...
on the whole ofArrakis?
Our spies are suggesting there may be twice that many.
Yes. Ten million.
Toughened by conditions worse than your own prison planet, Father.
Yes, but brutalized by that mindless thug, Rabban.
Theywould never allywith him.
Perhaps this brutality is simply part ofsomething more cunning.
A clever prelude to ripen them up for someone else.
Someone to come and rescue them from Rabban.
Someone like the other nephew. The cute one, Feyd.
Ifsuch a plan succeeded...
the baron would have a force...
to rival even your dreaded Sardaukar.
Summon Harkonnen to Kaitain.
We shall see what devices this perverse mind is breeding.
Your Highness has a perceptive mind.
Shall I take that as a complement or a threat, Fenring?
I meant it only as a sign ofmy respect.
I shareyour fear ofthe baron´s schemes.
My father can handle the baron.
It is this Muad´dib I´m curious about.
Halt!
He caught Korba from behind, Muad´dib.
One ofmy newcomers.
- Sardaukar. - Not a chance.
The only possible explanation ifhe overcame Korba.
Submit, Captain.
Sardaukar.
- Let me kill him, my lord. - Gurney Halleck is right.
- We must take his water. - Otheym!
See that he´s not harmed.
We´ll have use for him soon.
Chani, nowyou can return to the southern sietch.
- I wantyou to bring my mother here. - Your mother?
My lord, we were told she was taken by the Harkonnen.
That she´s dead.
She´s very much alive, old friend.
And you will see her soon.
Come.
We have another raid to plan.
Muad´dib never sleeps.
They say Muad´dib never eats.
They believe he can see into the future.
They believe he cannot be killed.
- No one´s ever seen him. - No, Highness.
Many claim they have...
sometimes in several places at the same time.
But what does he look like?
I want to know what he looks like.
No one will say for sure.
Perhaps he doesn´t even exist.
Perhaps he´sjust a legend, a ghost.
There are no such things as ghosts.
We were able tojam their signals.
No communications escaped, but I thinkyou should see this.
A guild agent.
Quite a distance from the comforts of Kaitain.
May I remind you that I am protected by the Imperial Treaties for Commerce...
by the Chon declaration, paragraph 1 2, subparagraph D...
and by articles 3, 8 and 1 4 ofthe Great Convention--
Imperial law is void where Muad´dib stands.
The forms must be obeyed.
Be quiet.
Shall we take theirwaters now?
We have surrendered without resistance. We have put our lives atyour mercy.
Mercy is a word I no longer understand.
Tell me...
are their many guild agents on Arrakis these days?
We are neutrally in the matters between you and the Harkonnen--
- Are there? - Arrakis is crawling with them...
buying up the spice as if there were precious little left.
And you´re afraid, aren´tyou?
The spice must flow.
Otheym, disarm their ´thopters.
Fuel them only as much as needed to reach Arrakis.
You are letting them go?
Take a message toyour masters.
Tell them your fight is hopeless.
Tell them the forces of Muad´dib cannot be defeated.
Tell them the days are numbered.
The men are going to question your intentions.
The men can´t possible imagine what my intentions are.
Your son shares a bond with this man.
- It runs very deep. - Very deep.
The kind only men can have.
And, my little man, you are so thin.
Is he being fed enough?
His appetite is as healthy as any I´ve seen.
He should be with the other children.
I cherish the time I spend with my grandson.
He can´t learn the ways ofthe sietch ifhe´s kept apart.
There are things he must learn that extend beyond the ways ofthe sietch.
There will be time enough to learn those things.
Does Paul share that sentiment?
Muad´dib relies on myjudgement...
where our son is concerned.
You have been a good companion to my son, Chani.
But he is not like other men.
I´m sure I know that better than most.
He is noble-born.
The rightful heir to the House Atreides.
An alliance with one ofthe other great houses must remain a possibility.
You don´t have to worry, Reverend Mother.
I will only do what´s best for him...
just as you did foryour duke.
So the emperor seems to be entertaining some ofthe other royal hounds as well.
There is much to discuss.
Really?
Your Majesty, these people are mad.
The women throw their babies at us.
They hurl themselves onto ourweapons...
to open a wedge for their men to attack.
Indeed.
I can wipe the planet clean ofthe entire race.
But then who would mine the spice?
It´s a terrible dilemma.
Doyou have any idea where this Muad´dib character came from?
What he wants? What his price is?
He´s a Fremen fanatic, a religious adventurer.
They crop up regularly on the fringes ofcivilization.
Your Majesty knows this.
Most seem simply bent on suicide.
Haveyou ever stared into the eyes ofa religious fanatic?
Suicide and martyrdom...
are often the same thing.
It´sa dangerous game he´splaying.
This rebellion must be crushed, now.
We agree. Something must be done.
Although, we may not suggest what that is, ofcourse.
We cannot move on House Harkonnen unilaterally, Majesty.
There are complications in our relationship.
It´s time to draw this Muad´dib into the open.
Have the royal houses prepare their armies.
We´re moving the royal palace to Arrakis...
with the guild´s approval, ofcourse.
They expectyou to call Stilgar out.
No man recognizes leadership without the challenge ofcombat.
Now that I´ve ridden the worm, they think there is nothing else in ourway.
Is there?
A man in a rush never sees the edge ofthe cliff...
until it´s too late.
They don´t see any cliffs. You don´t allow them to.
They have a simple religion.
Nothing about religion is simple.
Isn´t it a little late to be worrying about that?
We did--
I did what I had to do to ensure our survival.
You used them.
Yes.
- So haveyou. - No.
I´m fulfilling the role destiny has chosen for me.
You sound likeyou´re starting to believe the legends aboutyou.
Like the Kwisatz Haderach?
What doyou know about that?
Mother Ramallo called me that...
at Sietch Tabr before she died.
I was supposed to have a daughter...
one that could be wed to the Harkonnen heir.
A way to end the feud and possibly produce the Kwisatz Haderach.
The one who can be many places at once.
The ultimate achievement ofcenturies of Bene Gesserit breeding.
The man who could go where we could not.
The one with perfect memory...
who could provide perfect predictability.
And perfect power for the Bene Gesserit, ofcourse.
I did what I did because I loved your father.
I onlywanted to give him a son.
I didn´t want to create a god.
- Then you don´t believe it´s true? - I´m your mother.
- I know whoyou are. - Doyou?
Forgive me, Reverend Mother.
Can I bring you anything? Some food, perhaps?
Yes, thankyou.
And then I´d like to see Gurney.
You must find a way not to lose Stilgar.
Come, Otheym.
Foiled your escape, eh, witch?
- What areyou doing? - I´m your confessor.
Takeyour hands offme.
I´m here to unburden your black conscience ofguilt...
before I send you into eternity.
One more step, my lord, and I´ll finish it right now.
- You´d better explain yourself. - I´ll explain, all right.
The day the House Atreides fell, I swore an oath...
I would kill the one who betrayed your father.
You couldn´t be more wrong.
- Do not speak! - Gurney.
- Stand whereyou are, my lord. - Am I capable oflying toyou?
- You never have, my lord. - The traitorwas Yueh, Gurney.
We have the confession in his own hand.
As soon as you release my mother, you can read it foryourself.
Look me in the eye and tell me it wasn´tyou.
I will know ifyou are lying. I will know.
I would´ve given my life to save Leto.
The day he died, my heart turned to stone.
It was Yueh.
They had his wife.
My God. What have I done?
My God.
Be still, Gurney. It´s over now.
Ididn´tseeitcoming.
You need to rest, Muad´dib.
I didn´t know he would threaten her.
I never saw it.
He could´ve killed her.
This can´t go on.
You are asking too much ofyourself.
I wantyou to take Leto and return to the southern sietch.
I wantyou safe.
I´m safest when we are together.
But I´m not.
He´s alive.
I assureyou, he´s alive.
But the thread oflife is so thin...
most think he´s not.
- How long has he been this way? - Almost to the dayyou left.
Otheym found him.
The experience has shaken him.
I spent a week trying to revive him.
It has been no use.
There have been meetings.
Arguments.
Some ofthe elders think it´s time to...
take his water.
Who else knows?
Stilgar, the Naibs...
and the Fedaykin, ofcourse.
What do the Fedaykin think?
They think he´s in a sacred trance...
gathering his holy powers for the final battle.
I´ve encouraged this view.
You have to help, Chani.
You´re my last hope.
Please, tell me what to do.
The Fedaykin are right, Reverend Mother.
Muad´dib is in a trance.
A dangerous trance.
He has taken the Water of Life.
The raw water ofa drowned Maker. I have not changed ityet.
More could kill him.
It´s our only hope.
Muad´dib. Beloved.
Chani, what areyou doing here?
Paul.
I was outside...
just a moment ago.
You drank the Water of Life.
Yes!
We thoughtyou were dead.
You have no idea.
I have seen things there are not words to describe.
- You´ve seen the future? - The now, Mother.
The future and the past.
All at once.
All the same.
I am the whirlwind.
I can´t go there.
I´m afraid.
I´m so afraid. It is the place we cannot go.
That is why I have come.
You are the Kwisatz Haderach.
No, Mother.
I am something more.
I´m something unexpected. I am the fulcrum.
The giver and the taker.
I am the one who can be many places at once.
I am the master offate.
I am the tool offate.
Reverend Mother?
Reverend Mother, areyou sick?
I´m fine.
Nowyou understand.
I´ve decided we´re alike, you and me.
Haveyou?
When this dusty little nuisance is over, I´ll convinceyou.
- I´d be confused ifyou didn´t try. - I know.
That´s whywe´re alike.
We don´t like to be confused.
We like to be certain.
Sometime...
remind me to tell you about the ancient legend ofthe phoenix.
That´s it, beautiful boy.
You may find a way for us yet.
She´d make a fine trophy on Harkonnen linen, wouldn´t she?
The Padishah emperor is here...
in the space above us...
with his favorite truthsayer and legions ofhis Sardaukar.
Every great house has its raiders here.
The Baron Harkonnen is with them.
But, Muad´dib, how can you know this?
- I´ve seen them. - My lord, we only heard this morning...
from our smuggler allies.
You were unconscious.
Not unconscious.
Muad´dib has seen through the Water of Life.
Reverend Mother, is this true?
He has seen.
Mahdi!
You are the voice from the outerworld.
You are the prophet sent to us by Shai´hulud.
You must takeyour place, Muad´dib.
We´ve waited long enough.
You must do it now!
Doyou live for the good ofthe tribe, Stilgar?
- There is no otherway. - And for the good ofthe tribe...
would you stand there and let me drive this blade intoyour heart?
Call him out, Muad´dib.
It is the way, Stilgar.
- Call him out! - It is the way.
Ways change!
Hard tasks need hard ways.
You must become our Naib soyou can lead us against the Harkonnen.
And would you smash your knife before starting that war?
Would you cut offyour right arm and leave it bloody on the floor?
Doyou think the Mahdi is that stupid?
There isn´t a man among you...
who could stand against me in single combat, Stilgar included.
Must I prove it by calling out the Naib...
ofevery sietch on the planet?
Must I cripple myselfby killing our strongest and wisest leaders...
just for the sake ofsome mindless ritual?
You say I am the Mahdi.
I say I am your duke!
And it´s time now to wipe Arrakis clean...
ofthe awful Harkonnen stench.
Time to drive their name into the depths ofhell...
so that we may reclaim the planet...
and create a paradise together!
As Liet taught us.
Long live the duke.
Long live Duke Paul Muad´dib.
Long live the fighters of Muad´dib.
Mahdi.
The men have gathered the supplies. We´re almost ready to depart.
- What are theywaiting for? - For permission.
They know the guild will strand any force that lands here without consent.
The guild is protecting us?
They´re afraid still--
afraid ofwhat´s to come.
They are searching for a way out.
They´re searching for me.
What are we going to do?
Let them find me.
Come, Otheym.
I wantyou to choose several ofyour best men...
ones whoyou trust above all others.
Separate them from the rest before we withdraw from here.
As you wish.
Send them to the reservoir in the Habbanya Erg.
Have them collect the Water of Life we´ve hidden there.
I don´t understand.
Those are changed waters...
hidden there in case something should happen to the Reverend Mother.
Have the men find a pre-spice mass...
as large as possible.
Have them plant the waters above the mass...
and wait for my orders.
Doyou realize whatyou´re asking me to do?
Whatyou´ve asked shall be done, Muad´dib.
The baron insists...
the southern areas are uninhabitable.
The baron is mistaken.
- Fremen? - There have been reports.
Only a few were investigated, according to Harkonnen documents.
Cost-to-profit too high, apparently.
Many thopters were lost.
Even smugglers won´t venture there.
Send a light attack force immediately.
I want ground reconnaissance.
Perhaps this Muad´dib thinks he can continue to attack us...
then retreat into the wilderness where we dare not follow.
Well...
I´m about to strangle his options.
Let all Fremen who pass here...
pause and pay homage to the shrine of Duke Leto Atreides...
and all those who´ve died in the service ofjustice.
Gurney.
Now all we need is a storm--
a great-grandmother ofa storm.
Seems you´ll have one soon enough.
From here the future will open.
The clouds will part to reveal its glory.
And it gives me no peace.
I´ve seen whatyou´ve seen.
I know what´s coming, whatyou´re about to let loose--
notjust here on Arrakis but across the entire universe.
But I am powerless to stop it.
Areyou?
A terrible purpose awaits us, Mother.
This vast organism we call humanity is about to reinvent itself...
from the ashes ofits own complacency.
The sleeper has awakened.
Anything that tries to stop it...
will be crushed.
- Even the innocent? - There are no innocents anymore.
Your fatherwould never have spoken this way.
I am not my father.
You are his son.
More than his son.
Much more.
Thanks toyou.
Take a good look at me, Mother.
See something I´ve learned after I took the Water of Life.
Look into my eyes.
Look back through them into my blood.
Harkonnen blood.
Flowing in mine.
It flows from you.
I won´t believe it.
Who was your father?
- Tell me. - You know I can´t.
- Who? - I don´t know.
I don´t know. I have never known.
- Because they hid it from you. - Because they took me as an infant...
raised me in the Bene Gesserit ways.
Like all the others before and since.
None know their mothers or their fathers.
The Baron Harkonnen, Mother-- You´re his daughter.
The product ofa clever seduction...
the handiwork ofyour precious Bene Gesserit breeding programs.
I´m his grandson.
Theywanted to control things.
They couldn´t control you.
You changed everything.
You had a son, and now I´m here.
The one theywere seeking.
But I´ve arrived before my time.
And they´rejust beginning to realize it.
They´re coming.
Check that room.
Over here.
What is it?
Our son is dead.
Will you look at that thing? I count nine levels.
The fool´s brought the whole palace with him.
My dear emperor...
I´m about to shatteryour sanity.
Then I´m going to destroyyou.
Not a thopter in the sky.
Everything´s being pulled in and tied down.
They know a storm is coming.
Time to let them know I´m here.
The Sardaukar captain...
alive and unharmed, as you ordered.
I´m about to setyou free.
And you must take this with you.
These are terms for surrender.
They killed my son.
I can´t do this.
You have no choice.
Don´t be afraid.
Good.
Clean him up.
Give him one ofthe Sardaukar uniforms we´ve taken.
Full rank insignia.
Let him face his masterwith dignity.
You´re mad! Doyou know that?
Afteryou return with the emperor´s answer...
then we can discuss who is mad.
The arrogance! The utter lunacy!
Your Majesty, ifI may suggest the time has come...
to loose the forces ofthe empire against this scum.
Shutyour mouth.
It´s you I have to thank for this mess.
You and your hapless family, Baron.
I really don´t think, Your Majesty...
that this is the time to revisit old strategies.
I said quiet!
So, he wants an answer, does he?
So, here he is...
the fat baron himself.
He´s not much, is he?
What is this?
Some kind ofmidget?
My dear baron...
meet the sister ofthe one they call Muad´dib.
Their shields are going up.
They´ve given us their answer.
The thumpers have been activated.
It´s time, Gurney.
Your Majesty, I had no idea.
- He´s lying, ofcourse. - Quiet, child.
Make him afraid some more.
It´s time to bring this sorry episode to a close.
Time foryour brother to surrender...
as the prize foryour life.
I don´t take orders from you, old man.
It´s not wise to be so impudent, child.
You do not want to feel the full force ofmy power.
I am beyond your power.
Ask her.
Kill her!
Kill her now.
She´s the abomination.
The one the ancients warned us about.
What is this?
Look at her, Father.
Can you not see it?
She is the daughter of Duke Leto.
She is Atreides.
Her brother is the duke´s son, Paul.
He is the Muad´dib.
Impossible.
Have faith.
The endgame has already been written.
Do it, Gurney.
Do it now!
Killher!
She´s in my mind.
Kill her! Kill her!
My brother comes.
The shield wall is breached, Your Majesty.
The perimeter shields won´t hold against that.
Majesty, we must fall back to space and reform.
Give her body to the storm!
Let the storm have what it can take.
I have her, Your Majesty!
Good-bye, Grandfather.
You have finally met the Atreides GomJabbar.
Majesty, we must retreat.
Prepare my shuttle.
Stilgar!
This way.
Some ofthe dying asked to see the Reverend Mother.
She is with them.
This was my parents´ room.
What little peace they had afterwe came to Arrakis...
was here.
Tell me again about the waters ofyour homeland, Muad´dib.
Where water falls from the sky...
and plants grow so thick...
you can´t walk in between them.
As Arrakis will be one day.
Paid forwith the blood ofour people.
Our fathers.
Our son.
He can never be replaced, Chani.
But there will be other children.
I promise.
Is it over?
Almost.
Perhaps my respected kinsman...
thinks he has things his own way now.
There is a massed armada ofthe great houses in the space...
overArrakis, young Atreides.
I have but to give the word.
Yourword means nothing anymore.
I am the emperor!
Not for long.
Dispatch orders toyour navigators.
They are to depart our space...
and return the fleet to its homes immediately.
The guild does not takeyour orders.
Tell them to look into the future.
Theywill see me staring back at them...
ready to give the order...
the order to destroy all spice production on this planet.
My men are waiting in the desert.
There is a particularly large and volatile pre-spice mass there.
I need but raise my finger...
and the nest will be flooded with the changed Water of Life.
Jessica! What haveyou done to us?
Spreading death among the Makers. Killing a cycle oflife.
Creating a chain reaction which will grow and grow...
until there are no Makers left.
Until there is no spice left.
Jessica, silence him!
Silence him yourself.
Can he do this?
They know I can do this.
That´s what they´ve feared the most.
They´ve been monitoring the signals my men have been sending.
They know preciselywhere we are...
and what we can do.
Without the spice...
the navigators will become blind...
the Bene Gesserit will lose all powers...
and all commerce among the great houses will cease.
Civilization will end.
IfI am not obeyed...
the spice will not flow.
But it will be suicide.
I thinkwe both know the way out ofthis difficulty, don´t we?
- Paul. - Do not interfere, Mother.
This is for the good ofus all.
Never!
An adventurer like him, a traitor to the empire.
Father, here is a man fit to beyour son.
Doyou really think I´d agree to such a thing?
What choice do we have?
Kanly.
I invoke kanly.
Which one is that?
The baron´s other nephew, my lord.
Feyd. A coldblooded killer.
So it comes down to this.
It is my right.
As the baron now of House Harkonnen...
I demand satisfaction.
Soyou´re what´s left ofthe house that killed my father.
It´s down to us. Here we settle this vendetta once and for all.
He´s a Harkonnen animal, Muad´dib.
He´s right, my lord. Let me kill him. It will be my gift toyou.
Is the great Muad´dib such a coward...
that he must send others to do his dirtywork?
Otheym.
Does this one fight in the emperor´s name?
If Feyd wishes it...
he will meetyou with my blade in his hand.
I wish it!
May thy knife chip and shatter.
Paul, don´t do it.
Would you like the emperor´s truthsayer to prepareyour spirit for itsjourney?
Or haveyou gone too native?
Maybeyou´d like that little pet up there...
the pretty one...
to say a few pagan rites...
before I claim her.
I am not afraid.
Nothing to say, Atreides?
Perhaps you´ll answer this.
Soyou see, Atreides?
Your death, fool.
The poison will stopyour muscles and my knife will finish you.
It´s over...
cousin.
Irulan.
You cannot stop this thing.
The spice must flow.
