Haderach?
The Universe's super being?
How dare you!
My greatest student.
And my greatest
disappointment.
He's awake.
He's listening to us.
Good! Ready yourself,
young Paul Atreides.
I want to see you in your mother's
chambers in one-quarter of an hour.
Paul.
This is very important.
Remember you are
a duke's son.
Kwisatz Haderach?
The super being?
For the father, nothing?
This is the Reverend Mother
Gaius Helen Mohiam.
She's going to
observe you.
Please.
Jessica,
you know it must be done.
Your Reverence.
What does she fear?
What about my father?
Paul,
listen to the Reverend Mother
and do what she tells you.
Now, you,
come here.
She's using the Voice.
No.
Some strength there.
Surprising.
Come here!
Come here!
Do you see this?
Put your right hand
in the box.
What's in the box?
Pain.
Stop.
Put your hand
in the box.
I hold at your neck
the gom jabbar.
Don't pull away
or you'll feel the poison.
A duke's son must know
about many poisons.
This one kills
only animals.
Are you suggesting
a Duke's son is an animal?
Let us say,
I suggest
you may be human.
Your awareness may
be powerful enough
to control your instincts.
Your instinct will be
to remove your hand
from the box.
If you do so,
you die.
You will feel
an itching
there.
Now the itching
becomes burning.
Heat upon heat
upon heat.
It burns.
Silence! Silence!
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
And fear is the little death
that brings
total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass
over me and through me.
I must not fear.
You feel
the flesh crisping.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little death
that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
Flesh dropping off.
Fear is the little death.
I must not fear...
Fear is the little death.
I'm...
The pain!
No! Enough!
Kull Wahad!
No woman child ever
withstood that much.
Take your hand out of the box
and look at it, young human.
Do it!
Pain by nerve induction.
A human can resist
any pain.
Our test is crisis
and observation.
I see the truth of it.
Could he be the one?
Maybe.
But will he be
ours to control?
You know when
people speak the truth?
I know it.
Your mother wants you to tell me
about your dreams.
I only want to know
one thing:
Do they come true?
Not all of them.
I know which ones will.
Perhaps you are
the Kwisatz Haderach.
What is that?
The person who can be
many places at once.
The one who bridges
time and space.
He will look
where we cannot.
Do you know of
the Water of Life?
The bile from the newborn
worms of Arrakis?
I have heard of it.
It is very dangerous.
The Bene Gesserit sisterhood
use it to see within.
There is a place
terrifying to us,
to women.
It is said
a man will come.
The Kwisatz Haderach.
He will go
where we cannot.
Many men have tried.
They tried and failed?
They tried and died.
Jessica.
My son lives!
I sense your
teachings in him.
Ignore the regular
order of training.
His safety
requires the Voice.
I've heard enough
of my safety.
What about my father?
I heard your talking.
You speak
as if he were dead.
Well, he's not!
Paul. But he's not.
And he won't die.
Tell me he won't die.
What can be done
has been done.
Mother, tell me!
The Voice could save you.
The Baron Harkonnen
sent Duke Leto
a gesture of peace.
No way would the Duke forego
the art of Kanly,
as vendetta was known.
This then,
is the Duke's response
as he sat
writing at his desk:
"Your offer of
a meeting is refused.
"I have ofttimes met your treachery,
and this all men know.
The art of Kanly still has
its admirers in the empire."
Then he signed it
"Duke Leto of Arrakis"
knowing full well that
this would annoy the Baron.
With his ducal signet ring,
the Duke put the seal of the House
of Atreides under his signature,
"Duke Leto of Arrakis."
Vas!
Soon the Baron
would have his answer.
Among those who serve
the Baron is Piter De Vries,
