to go on ahead.
I won't be seeing you for a while.
I wish you were
coming with us. Why ?
Something for your father.
He wants to talk to you.
I'll see you on Arrakis.
May the hand of God
be with you.
May the hand of God
be with us all, Duncan.
- Father.
- Thank you for joining me, Paul.
Thufir Hawat has served House Atreides
three generations.
He swears you are the finest student
he has ever taught.
Yueh, Gurney and Duncan
say the same.
- Makes me feel very proud.
- I want you to be proud of me.
I'll miss the sea.
But a person needs
new experiences.
They jar something
deep inside,
allowing him to grow.
Without change,
something sleeps inside us...
and seldom awakens.
The sleeper must awaken.
Arrakis.
Dune-- Desert planet--
[ Inner Voice ]
I will kill you.
The second moon.
Tell me of your home world, Usul.
[ Inner Voice ]
I know she has come to test him.
No man has ever been tested
with the box.
Tonight, I may lose my son.
Jessica, you were told to bear
only daughters to the Atreides.
Jessica !
It meant so much to him.
You thought only of a duke's desire
for a son ?
Desires don't come into this.
An Atreides daughter
could have been wed...
to a Harkonnen heir
and sealed the breach.
We may lose
both bloodlines now.
I vowed never
to regret my decision.
I'll pay for all my own mistakes.
And your son will pay with you.
Arrakis... Dune...
Desert planet.
Moving. Moving.
[ Thunderclap ]
[ Reverend Mother ]
We'll salvage what we can.
But I can tell you,
dear God--
For the father, nothing.
[ Inner Voice ]
For the father, nothing ?
Did you really think you could bear
the Kwisatz 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.
[ Inner Voice ]
Kwisatz Haderach. The super being.
For the father, nothing.
Vas.
[ Thunderclap ]
This is the Reverend Mother
Gaius Helen Mohiam.
She's going to observe you.
- Please.
- Jessica,
you know it must be done.
Your Reverence.
[ Inner Voice ]
What does she fear ?
What about my father ?
Paul.
Listen to the Reverend Mother
and do what she tells you.
[ Deep Voice ]
Now you...
come here !
[ Inner Voice ]
She's using the Voice.
No.
[ Inner Voice ]
Some strength there.
Surprising.
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.
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 !
[ Inner Voice ] I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
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 ?
...is the little death
that brings total obliteration.
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.
[ Inner Voice ]
Could he be the one ? Maybe.
But will he be
ours to control ?
Tell me of your home world, Usul.
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.
