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.
Kwisatz Haderach. The super being.
For the father, nothing.
Vas.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
And he won't die.
Tell me he won't die.
What can be done has been done.
Mother, tell me.
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,
the lips acquire stains,
the 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.
Put the pick in there, Pete,
and turn it '
