[ Navigator ]
One small point.
Here it comes.
We ourselves perceive
a slight problem...
within House Atreides.
Paul. Paul Atreides.
You mean, of course,
Duke Leto Atreides, his father.
I mean Paul Atreides.
We want him killed.
I did not say this.
I am not here.
I understand.
[ Inner Voice ]
Why would they want
the duke's son killed ?
We must have a look
at Paul Atreides, on Caladan.
[ Princess lrulan ]
The powerful Bene Gesserit sisterhood
for 90 generations...
has been manipulating
bloodlines...
to produce the Kwisatz Haderach,
a super being.
On Caladan, Jessica,
a member of the sisterhood...
and the bound concubine
of Duke Leto Atreides,
had been ordered
to bear only daughters.
Because of her love
for the duke...
she disobeyed
and gave birth to a son--
Paul-- Paul Atreides.
Here we are now, Caladan.
And 19 light-years beyond,
beyond Bene Tleilax.
[ Man ] The training planet
of the Mentats, the human computers.
Know a Mentat
by his red-stained lips.
[ Inner Voice ]
There. Arrakis.
[ Woman ]
Spice mining.
Carryalls lower
the harvester to the sand...
and lift it off to safety
when a worm attacks.
Worms attack
all rhythmic vibrations.
Weather. See storms.
No precipitation.
[ Paul ]
Never one drop of rain on Arrakis.
And the Harkonnens are near.
There. Giedi Prime
and the Baron Harkonnen.
The enemy.
[ Man ]
The Baron Harkonnen has sworn
to destroy House Atreides...
and steal the ducal signet ring
for himself.
I know, Thufir.
I'm sitting with my back to the door.
I heard you, Dr. Yueh,
and Gurney
coming down the hall.
Those sounds
could be imitated !
I'd know the difference.
[ Inner Voice ]
Yes, perhaps you would at that.
My father sent you to test me.
Music, then ?
No music.
I'm packing this for the crossing.
- Shield practice.
- Gurney, we had practice this morning.
I'm not in the mood.
Not in the mood !
- Mood's a thing for cattle
and love play, not fighting !
- I'm sorry, Gurney.
Not sorry enough.
[ Inner Voice ]
What's wrong with Gurney ?
He's not faking this.
Now, guard yourself for true !
Is this what you seek ?
Good. The slow blade
penetrates the shield.
But, uh, look down.
[ Gurney ]
We'd have joined each other in death.
You did seem finally
to get the mood.
Would you really
have drawn my blood ?
If you'd have fought
one whit below your abilities,
I'd have given you a good scar
to remind you.
Things have been
so serious here lately.
Soon we leave for Arrakis.
Arrakis is real.
The Harkonnens are real.
Dr. Yueh, do you have any information
on the worms of Arrakis ?
I have obtained a filmbook
of a small specimen.
- Only 125 meters long.
- [ Laughing ]
-Only ?
-There have been documented sightings...
of worms as large as 450 meters
in the deep desert.
That's far from where
we'll be in Arrakeen.
The desert belt and the south
polar region are marked forbidden.
[ Paul ]
How do the Fremen survive there ?
We don't know much
about the Fremen.
They live in the deep desert,
some in the cities.
They have blue within blue eyes.
Oh, the eyes. Yes.
The saturation of the blood
by the spice, melange.
Could the spice affect us
in other ways ?
[ Thufir ]
Many dangers exist on Arrakis.
For one, the Harkonnens
would not have given up...
their CHOAM Company contract
so easily.
The Harkonnens
are our enemies, yes.
But behind them, I suspect,
is the Emperor.
You'll make
a formidable duke.
Now remember, the first step
in avoiding a trap...
is knowing
of its existence.
I know. But if it is a trap,
then why are we going ?
We have our new army.
Dr. Yueh,
put the weirding module on him.
Well.
Clear and lock the room !
[ Guard ]
Detachment, stand down.
Activate a fighter.
[ Mechanical Whirring ]
[ Clanging ]
Make the range two meters.
[ Mechanical Noises Continue ]
[ Humming ]
Precise control.
[ Heavy Footfalls ]
Duncan !
Paul. I was just on my way
to say good-bye to you.
I have
