94.
She drags him back into the office.
The Sardaukar advance down the hallway toward them.
Kynes slams the door and locks it. Paul throws himself
against the door with a howl.
JESSICA (CONT'D)
He’s gone!
Kynes swings a steel file cabinet away from the wall,
revealing a dark narrow passage. She grabs their stillsuits
and fremkit from the shelf. Hands them over.
KYNES
Come!
They hurry through. She swings the door shut behind them: it
closes like a bank vault, a thick slab of steel.
HALLWAY
The Sardaukar reach the Laboratory Office door and find it
locked. The lead Sardaukar pulls out a laser cutter to cut
through the door...
...and behind them, impossibly...Duncan stands up.
A sword through his body. A dagger in his shoulder. He sways
on his feet as he lifts his long sword.
The Sardaukar turn. Duncan pulls the sword out of his chest
as he walks toward them. Dread fills their eyes.
Duncan goes to his death with a roar, his longsword blazing.
108 INT. LABORATORY PASSAGEWAY - DAY 108
Kynes leads Paul and Jessica swiftly down a narrow tunnel.
Glowtabs light up at their approach and go dark behind them.
They come to a fork in the tunnel. Kynes points one way.
KYNES
Follow the arrows. You’ll find a
desert-rigged thopter ready to fly.
That storm out there’s your best
shot. Above five thousand meters,
they’re mostly dust. Climb into it.
Stay on top. You might just live.
94.
