Gurney.
My father's patience is wearing thin.
These troubles on Arrakis
are proving difficult to manage...
...and our time is running short.
I want you to make arrangements
for a trip to Giedi Prime.
Milady?
The Baron's nephew
is having a birthday celebration.
The Emperor ought to be represented,
don't you think?
I'm in the mood for a party.
Besides, it's time to shed
some of this naivetй.
She is not going!
I'm not going to allow that headstrong,
meddlesome child loose in Babylon.
My God, what a catastrophe that would be.
The eldest daughter of the lmperial House
ensnared by the likes of Harkonnen...
...and his dreadful progeny.
Yes, catastrophe indeed.
But perhaps the seducer could be seduced.
The more we know of the Baron's schemes,
the more we are prepared for the endgame.
Our operatives on Giedi Prime
have limited access.
Your daughter, on the other hand...
...has proved quite adept
at intelligence gathering.
Gently chaperoned,
I should think she'd prove quite useful...
...once again.
You've heard the voices
from your sietches.
They say the Mahdi has come.
But you...
...the naibs of your tribes are still cautious.
You resist.
But I am offering you the future.
The future as Liet saw it.
-How do you know what Liet saw?
-Because I've seen it.
Here.
And here.
And once we rid Arrakis
of the vile Harkonnen...
...we can complete his dream.
I promise this.
Arrakis will become the paradise
Liet imagined.
You'll never rid Arrakis
with guerrilla raids, boy.
It will take all-out war.
That's why I'm asking you
for hundreds of your best young men.
I want to give them the Weirding way...
...so they can come back to you
and train hundreds more.
So those hundreds
can train hundreds more.
And then hundreds will become thousands!
The Fedaykin.
A force to rival the dreaded Sardaukar.
A force to terrify the Emperor himself!
My father once told me...
...that here on Arrakis...
...one needed desert power to rule.
You are desert power...
...and nothing can stop you...
...if you believe.
So you are the one.
Jessica of the Weirding,
our Reverend Mother Ramallo.
Mapes said you were beautiful.
She also said she pitied you.
I need no one's pity.
That remains to be seen.
There is much talk of you in the sietches.
I hear the people speaking of the Mahdi.
I hear them shout the name Muad'dib.
He is a natural leader like his father.
The men admire his courage.
It will take more than courage
to survive what's coming.
The boy...
...he knows what it is
that's happening here?
He is aware.
You've exploited our legends well.
We had to survive.
And you may...
...for a while.
But remember this:
the very legend which protects you...
...can also destroy you.
-How are you feeling?
-Well.
Tired sometimes.
Healthy.
And growing fast.
I saw the one
they call the Reverend Mother.
Yes. She came from the southern sietch.
-Why?
-To see me.
To see you.
She's Bene Gesserit.
One of our missionaries.
Convenient.
Stilgar says you've learned much.
He's tougher than Hawat ever was.
Chani is happy to see you, I noticed.
Why didn't you marry him, Mother?
Because I loved him.
As long as your father
remained unmarried...
...some of the great houses could still hope
for an alliance through marriage.
We both knew what that meant.
-There were no illusions.
-You would have allowed it?
I would have encouraged it.
Politics.
Yes.
Politics.
While I was on the hajra...
...l had dreams about this garden.
Except it wasn't here,
it was somewhere else.
Was I there?
Yes.
And there were children...
...playing, very happy.
A wonderful dream.
Do you think it's possible
to love someone enough...
...you'd be willing to give that person up?
I think...
...there are times when it's necessary
to share the one you love...
...with things greater than both of you.
Everything is connected,
one thing to another.
The living and the dead,
the animate and the inanimate.
