55AAB EXT. ARRAKIS - DESERT - MORNING 55AAB


Chani is silhouetted by the rising sun behind her, creating a
beatific halo. The young woman looks right at us with her
otherworldly blue eyes. She smiles.

CHANI (V.O.)
Some of my people thought a
savior might never come.

She leans in close, as if to kiss “us”, Paul.

CHANI
But not me.

But then Chani darkens.

CHANI (CONT'D)
I knew.

Shink.

CHANI (SNEERING) (CONT'D)
I knew you couldn’t stay the hell
away.

And now we/Paul look down to find the hilt of a CRYSKNIFE
sticking out of our own chest.

Paul falls on his knees (like he did in the desert).

55AAA INT. FREMEN HOUSE, ARRAKIS - DAY 55AAA *


Jessica is holding a baby in her arms. The baby is wrapped in *
Fremen clothes. Jessica’s face is covered with ancient Fremen *
words written with dark henna. A crysknife by her side. *

BACK TO PAUL AND JESSICA IN PAUL’S BEDROOM. *

Paul stares at her, shaken. *

PAUL *
I know you are pregnant. *

Jessica stares at Paul in dread, hand going to her belly. Her *
voice a whisper of disbelief: *

JESSICA *
You can’t know that. I barely know *
that. It’s only been a few weeks... *
