Paul lowers his eyes, startled by how much Leto sees. But *
this his father. And he trusts him more than he trusts *
anyone. He bares his heart. *
PAUL *
How can I make my way if my destiny *
was written before I was born? *
Leto joins him at the railing to look out over Arrakis. *
LETO *
If I tell you one day you’ll find *
yourself on a mountaintop -- what *
does that change? You still have to *
climb the mountain. *
(beat) *
Destiny grants us nothing -- and *
takes nothing away. We have to *
fight and bleed for the future we *
want. Because when all’s said and *
done, there’s only one way to find *
out if a prophecy is true. *
(turns to Paul) *
We earn it. *
Paul nods. Like a weight has been lifted. *
And their formality gives way to a hug. Because Paul is *
scared. And Leto knows. *
And loves him no matter who he’s meant to be. Prophecies be *
damned. *
61 INT. ARRAKEEN RESIDENCY - PAUL'S ROOM - NIGHT 61
Paul wearily strips off his uniform. Lost in thought.
Doctor Yueh appears in the doorway. He sets a white tablet on
a tray on the nightstand. Paul nods.
58A INT. ARRAKEEN RESIDENCY - WAR ROOM - END OF DAY 58A
Duke Leto stands in front of Duncan Idaho. Leto communicates
with precise hand signals using THE ATREIDES COMBAT SIGN
LANGUAGE. We can read the translation with subtitles.
Leave at dawn. Give this message to the FREMEN.
The Duke gives him a tiny object.
Trust no one.
