Breathe out, and you will fill the
air with poison.
It will be your last breath. But if
you choose your moment well
...it will also be the Baron’s.
66 INT. RESIDENCY - PAUL’S BEDROOM - NIGHT 66
Paul stirs in his sleep. Eyes moving under closed lids. An
Harkonnen soldier opens his door.
66A INSERT: CHANI 66A
She looks at him in the warm light of the sun, so close.
CHANI
Paul. You need to wake up.
80 EXT. RESIDENCY - NIGHT 80
The date palms out front are on fire, casting a lurid light
over the scene.
There are hundreds of soldiers flooding into the house.
Harkonnen ornithopters landing in the streets below.
This is a massacre. In a courtyard Atreides soldiers lined up
on their knees. The Sardaukar begin to BEHEAD THEM with
methodical swiftness. Rabban takes part in the execution with
bloodthirsty zeal.
78 INT. RESIDENCY CORRIDOR - NIGHT 78
Duncan Idaho’s shadow appears into the hallway.
He sees a Sardaukar at the end of the corridor. He switches
on his shield, as two other Sardaukar run toward him.
Idaho slips through the Sardaukar’s guard and kills them.
A fourth Sardaukar fires TWO DARTS from a SLOW-DART PISTOL:
they slam into Idaho’s shield and begin to tunnel inward...
Idaho slashes one dart with his sword, destroying it. Parries
a blow from the Sardaukar who fired it -- then slashes the
other dart out of existence just before it punches through.
He leaps and strikes the Sardaukar down.
