righteous ?
- There is a Harkonnen among you.
Give the Harkonnen a blade,
and let him stand forth.
If Feyd wishes, he can meet you
with my blade in his hand.
- I wish it.
- This is a Harkonnen animal.
Let me.
Please, my lord.
The Emperor's blade.
[ Drumbeats Continue ]
Why prolong the inevitable ?
I will kill you !
[ Laughing ]
[ Grunting ]
I will kill him !
[ Grunting ]
Paul !
I will kill him !
[ Laughing ]
Who is the little one ?
A pet, perhaps ?
Will she deserve
my special attentions ?
[ Paul's lnner Voice ]
Poisoned.
You see your death.
My blade will finish you.
[ Inner Voice ]
I will bend like a reed in the wind.
Aaaaah !
Aaaaah !
Cha-aksa !
Muad'Dib !
Usul no longer needs
the weirding module.
[ Princess lrulan Narrating ]
Muad'Dib had become the hand of God,
fulfilling the Fremen prophecy.
Where there was war,
Muad'Dib would now bring peace.
Where there was hatred,
Muad'Dib would bring love,
to lead the people
to true freedom,
and to change
the face of Arrakis.
We Fremen have a saying.
God created Arrakis
to train the faithful.
One cannot go against
the word of God.
[ Thunderclap ]
And how can this be ?
For he is the Kwisatz Haderach !A beginning
is a very delicate time.
Know then, that it is
the year 10,191.
The known universe is ruled by the
Padishah Emperor Shaddam the Fourth,
my father.
In this time, the most
precious substance in the universe...
is the spice, melange.
The spice extends life.
The spice
expands consciousness.
The spice is vital
to space travel.
The Spacing Guild
and its navigators,
who the spice has mutated
over 4,000 years,
use the orange spice gas,
which gives them
the ability to fold space.
That is, travel to any part
of the universe...
without moving.
Oh, yes.
I forgot to tell you.
The spice exists on only one planet
in the entire universe.
A desolate, dry planet
with vast deserts.
Hidden away within the rocks
of these deserts are a people
known as the Fremen,
who have long
held a prophecy...
that a man would come,
a messiah,
who would lead them
to true freedom.
The planet is Arrakis,
also known as Dune.
[ Wind Howling ]
A secret report
within the Guild.
Four planets have come
to our attention...
regarding a plot which could
jeopardize spice production.
Planet Arrakis,
source of the spice.
Planet Caladan,
home of House Atreides.
Planet Giedi Prime,
home of House Harkonnen.
Planet Kaitain, home of the Emperor
of the known universe.
Send a third-stage
guild navigator to Kaitain...
to demand details
from the Emperor.
The spice must flow.
[ Voices, lndistinct ]
- Father,
- Irulan, you must leave.
A third-stage guild navigator...
will be here within minutes.
We felt his presence.
I shall want telepathy
during his visit...
and a report
when we're finished.
I am your Truthsayer,
my lord.
He's here, my lord.
The Bene Gesserit witch
must leave.
Leave us.
Yes, my lord.
We are alone.
[ Breathing ]
- We have just folded space from lx.
- Yes ?
How was your journey ?
Many machines on lx.
New machines.
Oh ? Yes.
Better than those on Richese.
You are transparent.
I see many things.
I see plans within plans.
I see two great houses,
House Atreides,
House Harkonnen, feuding.
- I see you behind it.
- Yes.
You must share with us.
The Atreides House
is building a secret army...
using a technique unknown to us.
A technique involving sound.
The duke is becoming
more popular in the Landsraad.
He could threaten me.
I have ordered House Atreides
to occupy Arrakis to mine the spice,
thus replacing their enemies,
the Harkonnens.
House Atreides will not refuse
because of the tremendous power
they think they will gain.
Then, at an appointed time,
Baron Harkonnen
will return to Arrakis...
and launch a sneak attack
on House Atreides.
I have promised the baron five legions
of my Sardaukar terror troops.
So the Harkonnens
will rid you of House Atreides.
Yes !
