Message for
Mentat Piter De Vries.
The Baron is impatient
for Leto's reply.
It is by will alone
I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of Sapho
that thoughts acquire speed,
that lips acquire stains,
that stains become a warning.

My lord.
Piter!
The Atreides will be
leaving Caladan soon, Baron,
and I have here
your answer from Duke Leto.
What does Leto say, Piter?
He wishes to inform you
that vendetta,
as he puts it,
using the ancient tongue,
the art of Kanly,
is still alive.
He does not wish
to meet or speak with you.
I've made my peace gesture.
The forms of Kanly
have been obeyed!
Bring in Feyd and Rabban.
As you
instructed me,
I have enlightened
your nephews
concerning my plan...
My plan!
The plan
to crush the Atreides.
Feyd.
Rabban,
go quietly.
No other great house
of the Landsraad
must ever know of the
Emperor's aid to the Baron.
The entire Landsraad
would turn against the Baron
and the Emperor.
I will have Arrakis
back for myself!
He who controls the spice,
controls the Universe!
And what Piter
did not tell you
is we have control of
someone who is very close,
very close to Duke Leto.
This person, this traitor,
will be worth more to us
than 10 legions of Sardaukar.
And who is this traitor?
I won't tell you
who the traitor is,
or when we'll attack.
However,
the Duke will die before
these eyes and he'll know...
he'll know that it is I,
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen,
who encompasses his doom!
I once told you a daughter
would be conceived
at a time of parting.
I remember.
Conceived in love
at a time of parting.
Arrakis is a hostile world.
I must be sure you want this.
It has to be tonight,
under these influences.
I could hear
you with the wind.
And I whispered yes.
And I whispered:
"I love you."
Soon they will begin
to fold space.
Far off in the control rooms
of the spice gas.
Traveling without moving.
And now,
the prophecy.
One will come.
The voice from
the outer world.
Bringing the Holy War,
the Jihad.
Which will cleanse
the Universe
and bring us out of darkness.
Hidden away within the rocks
of these deserts on Arrakis
are a people
known as the Fremen.
These people, the Fremen,
have long held a prophecy
that a super being
a male child of
a Bene Gesserit
with great mental powers
and courage,
the Kwisatz Haderach,
will come and lead them
to true freedom.
Mother and the son.
House Atreides
took control of Arrakis,
63 standard days
into the year 10191.
It was known
that the Harkonnens,
the former rulers of Arrakis
would leave many
suicide troops behind.
Atreides' patrols
were doubled.
Duncan!
The Fremen have sent
a message to you, Sire.
Have you read this?
No, I was instructed
it was for you.
It says:
"A column of smoke by day,
a pillar of fire by night."
A warning.
An obscure one,
at best.
What have you discovered
about the Fremen, Duncan?
Tell me.
Why haven't we
heard from you?
My lord,
I suspect so much.
I think they are
the allies we seek.
They are strong, fierce.
They do not give their
loyalty easily or quickly.
As you know,
the Imperium has never been able
to take a census of the Fremen.
Everyone thinks
that there are but few
wandering here and there
in the desert.
My lord,
I suspect an incredible secret
has been kept on this planet.
That the Fremen
exist in vast numbers.
Vast.
And it is they
who control Arrakis.
Each trooper will be charged
with responsibility
for preserving water.
Our existence as
an operating army depends
on these following
water-saving procedures.
Remember, water is life.
Why is the shield
not yet up?
Sir, we found and
