We get closer and see that the dark leader figure is Paul,
flanked by Chani and other soldiers.

CLOSER LOOK AT Paul, dark and silent.

95B INT. STILLTENT - SUNRISE 95B


PAUL SNAPS BACK TO REALITY.


He shakes his head in bewilderment.

PAUL (V.O.)
My father is dead. Why can’t I cry?

He closes his eyes as spice visions shake him, like a drug
altering his awareness.

He glares at her with cold intensity. Jessica is shocked by
this turn in him. His coldness.

JESSICA
Paul...

PAUL
There’s something awakening in my
mind.

He sounds half-mad. Jessica recoils, afraid of the visionary
light in his eyes. Afraid of what he sees.

She looks at him closely. He’s trembling. His eyes far away.

JESSICA
You’re afraid. What do you see that
you fear?

PAUL
(in a rising frenzy)
Holy war. Spreading across the
universe like unquenchable fire.
A warrior religion that waves the
Atreides banner. Fanatical legions
worshipping at the shrine of my
father’s skull. A crusade. In my
name. My name. That’s the future.
It’s coming.

JESSICA
Paul.

CHANI’S VISION
Paul!
