She looks at her son. Paul’s eyes flash in the light of the
breaking day. His vision is clear.

PAUL (CONT'D)
The Emperor sent us to this place.
And my father came -- not for the
spice, but for the strength of
these people. I am the Duke now.
And my road leads into the desert.
I can see it. If you’ll have us.

Jessica nods. Not understanding, but trusting him. Paul looks
at Stilgar.

PAUL (CONT'D)
We will come. And learn your ways. *

133 EXT. ROCKY RIDGELINE - DAWN 133


The tribe moves single file along an elevated ridge. Stilgar
leads: at the tail of the column, three Fremen carry Jamis’s
wrapped body. A treasure of water.

In the middle of the column, Paul clutches at Jessica’s arm.
Staring at the sun. She turns to look.

Far-off, silhouetted against the sunrise, a SANDWORM passes,
traveling on the surface. On its back, hanging on with “maker
hooks,” FREMEN are riding -- robes fluttering in the wind.

Paul and Jessica watch the worm pass by in awe. Paul turns to
whisper to his mother in fierce triumph.

PAUL
Desert power!

She smiles in the golden light, making his heart skip a beat.
This is the image from his visions. The dream girl.

CHANI
This is only the beginning.

She turns and walks on across the rocks in the golden light.
He follows. Around them the sands stretch toward the horizon.
Toward a future he cannot see.

FADE TO BLACK.

THE END.
