PAUL


All part of a plan.
(long beat)
Do you... love my father?

JESSICA
Yes!

He hesitates to ask the next question, looking very young.
Jessica’s face crumples.

JESSICA (CONT'D)
Oh, Paul.

She strides across the space between them and throws her arms
around him. They cling to each other in the downpour. On
Paul. On Jessica.

11A EXT. CALADAN CASTLE - MORNING 11A


The Caladan Castle above the ocean in the morning light.

The flag of the ATREIDES family in the wind is being removed.

22aA INT. GREAT HALL - DAY 22aA


Servants lower a mounted bull’s head into a case. Leto and
Jessica look on. Around them, the castle stands cavernous and
empty.

Paul close behind, observes his mother.

Servants come to say goodbye, weeping and embracing them. The
Atreides are beloved: their household is a family. Jessica
tears up. Leto comforts her.

Paul joins them.

The bull head’s case is being closed.

22A EXT. CALADAN’S SHORE - SUNSET 22A


Paul stands on a windy beach. Huge waves crashing on the
shore. He looks up:

A huge cargo ship takes off: the Atreides fleet taking leave
of its homeworld. Wind plucks at Paul’s clothing as another
ship rises off the ground.

Paul takes a knee to curl his fingers into the water.
