00:01What holds more truth? History or prophecy?
00:09When humans rose up against the thinking machines that had enslaved them...
00:17History says it was an Atreides who led them to victory.
00:25While my great-grandfather deserted the fight.
00:34When war ended and all thinking machine technology was banned...
00:40History branded my family as cowards.
00:43And so we were banished to a desolate world.
00:54Others who shared my blood were resigned to living in shame.
01:00But the history the Atreides wrote was spun out of lies.
01:07And I, Valiar Harkonnen, would set out to change it.
01:24So I broke free from the past and chose a new family.
01:29Made up of women, unafraid of their power.
01:33There, I met my true mother.
01:36The first mother superior.
01:38Raquela Berto Anirou.
01:40A hero during the wars.
01:43She trained sisters to work as truth-sayers.
01:49Assigned to the great houses to help them sift truth from lies.
01:57Together they would form a network of influence throughout the Imperium.
02:02Raquela would use it to govern the future.
02:12But those who held power were inherently driven by violence and greed.
02:18They required more than just guidance.
02:22They required transformation.
02:25Mother Raquela embarked on a secret project.
02:30She wanted to breed better leaders.
02:34She amassed a vast genetic archive.
02:38She would use it to foster the right royal unions.
02:42And cultivate rulers we could control.
02:49Zealots among us would view this breeding as heresy.
02:55But Mother Superior knew I shared her vision.
03:00And I would stop at nothing to carry it out.
03:06That is why, in her final moments, she called for me.
03:16It's me.
03:17Valya.
03:17It's me, Durataya.
03:20Valya Harkonnen.
03:21you all were over your children.
03:28Oh my God.
03:29I love you.
03:42Oh my God.
03:45Oh!
03:48Oh!
03:50Oh.
03:57We did it, Ola.
04:11These bras won't help her.
04:13What is she doing?
04:17Me, I'm on the superior.
04:21Oh, Red, dust.
04:25Tell him to leave us now.
04:39He's coming.
04:43Terrence, I never fell.
04:50I haven't seen him.
04:54He's coming.
04:56I never fell.
05:01I never fell.
05:07I never fell.
05:11I never fell.
05:25Value, grow us, safeguard our power, use every tool.
05:36Sister, it must be strengthened or it will fall.
05:44You will be the one to see the burning truth and know.
06:12You have warned us.
06:14Tyrannara fell.
06:15Reckoning a holy judgement brought on by a tyrant.
06:20From what I saw in Raquelas eyes, I believe one is coming for us.
06:23We have to prepare.
06:26How?
06:29By putting one of ours on the throne.
06:36Sister.
06:39The first Empress to rule the Imperium.
06:44One loyal to us.
06:45Dorothea will never agree.
06:47She has to, Kasha.
06:49It is the only thing that ensures our protection.
07:09Mother Raquelas always said we could not be split in our purpose.
07:20Factions in the Sisterhood would only weaken our order.
07:29What she foresaw as a force of unimaginable darkness that could destroy us completely.
07:42I had to convince my sisters of what was true.
07:49We must carry her legacy forward.
07:53We must keep pushing the boundaries of what it means to be human.
07:59We must harness our powers of truth sense until we advise all the great houses who govern.
08:06Mother Raquelas urged us to use every tool.
08:08Humility is the foundation of our virtues.
08:12Humility is the foundation of our virtues.
08:15The mind of man is holy.
08:17The mind of man is holy.
08:20Thou shalt not disfigure the soul.
08:22Thou shalt not disfigure the soul.
08:30Adversity always lies in the path of advancement.
08:36Most would run from it.
08:38I would walk through it.
08:41That is why Mother Raquelas chose me to lead.
08:53I see you wasted no time stepping in.
09:00Mother Dorotea, what are you doing?
09:07What should have been done long ago?
09:20Why do you need access to the breeding index?
09:27So I can return the sisterhood to its values.
09:35You can't do this.
09:36We are the hand that points toward a righteous path.
09:38We are meant to guide the Imperium, not rule it.
09:41We must create the path and lead others to it.
09:44We are the only ones who can.
09:45Ever since you arrived, you and your sister Tula, you've thought too highly of yourself.
09:52You'd risk our destruction to keep your principles pure.
09:56Mother Raquelas didn't share your beliefs, nor do others aside from your faction of zealots.
10:00You heard what she said.
10:02You swore to use every tool.
10:03Because I did not want to fight with her on her deathbed.
10:09This is no tool.
10:11This is us playing God.
10:15And we will be judged for it.
10:17And we will be judged for it.
10:18I honor my grandmother.
10:20But this great work of hers must be destroyed.
10:23I beg if you don't do this.
10:28Yartea!
10:30Stop!
10:36Face me!
10:43What?
10:46A new skill I've been honing.
10:50One I'd hoped to share with you.
10:53And I will.
10:56If you bend.
11:01I will never bend to you.
11:05For your herkening.
11:10Then take out your blade.
11:16Find the internal threat.
11:33Then take out your blade.
11:40I knew then.
11:42The name Valia Harkonnen would forever be damned to the wrong side of history.
11:51But my truth lay in prophecy.
11:54What do we do?
11:58Sister, above all.
12:16The name Valia Harkonnen
12:17May the heavens.
12:21Dear god.
12:21You believe?
12:29Please see.
12:29i will never miss you ander.
12:29For the rest andƔrios.
12:42To be continued...
13:14House Barak and House Kumali have put in requests for a truth-sayer, and House Harkonnen has put in a
13:22fourth request.
13:29Mother Superior Valiar.
13:33Yes, to House Barak. Kumali will have to wait.
13:39And you can tell House Harkonnen no for a fourth time.
13:48Excuse me, Sister Avina.
14:06Imperial Guards.
14:08They're here for the Princess.
14:10And your husband must be quite a catch, fleeing him so quickly.
14:16That's the Princess's half-brother.
14:21He has no claim to the throne.
14:26A man with no purpose devises only mischief.
14:30Exactly. Nothing I like more than a man with great wealth and idle hands.
14:39Perhaps once his sister is here, I'll pay a small visit.
14:41And one day I'll be her truth-sayer and sister-in-law.
14:44I think the whole point of her coming here is to be her own truth-sayer.
15:02We instruct many daughters of the great houses.
15:05Lord Constantine, there will be no risk to the Princess here.
15:09One of those other daughters is the heir to the Golden Lion Throne.
15:13If my sister's going to spend the next ten years here, we need to take precautions.
15:18Also, the Princess will require her own quarters.
15:23Once your sister is here, she will be treated as every other student.
15:28The dormitory is quite comfortable.
15:30That's not acceptable.
15:33Well, that is unfortunate.
15:46I have to try.
15:50Shall we?
16:10Humanity's greatest weapon is the lie.
16:14If you observe the large amount of white matter in the prefrontal cortex,
16:20do you know what that makes this man?
16:22A criminal.
16:23A sociopath.
16:24A survivor.
16:25Yes, Sister John.
16:27Human beings rely on lies to survive.
16:30We lie to our enemies.
16:33We lie to our friends.
16:36We lie to ourselves.
16:39Lying is among the most sophisticated tasks a brain can perform.
16:45Because, for most of us, we don't like to lie.
16:49The body rejects it.
16:53How does it do that?
16:55Pupils dilate.
16:56Changes in breathing.
16:57Perspiration on the brow.
16:58Yes, that's right.
16:59All of them signs that we work to perceive in truth-saying.
17:03It's clear you have a grasp of theory.
17:06But application is what distinguishes the sister.
17:09Tomorrow you will be tested on your progress.
17:11I suggest you get some rest today.
17:14Class is dismissed.
17:23Good news, little sister.
17:26So it went well.
17:28This time next week, she'll be ours.
17:30No.
17:45No.
17:46No.
17:48No.
17:51Oh, my God.
17:53Oh.
17:53No.
17:53No.
17:53No.
17:53Oh.
17:54Oh, no.
18:18You almost had me that time.
18:20I did not.
18:29Focus on the body, not the blade.
18:31Your eyes, they can lie, but this, this will tell you where your opponent's heading, even
18:37before they know.
18:40Unhand the princess!
18:42Filthy scum.
18:44Constantine, you made it!
18:46How could I miss you trying the knot to avoid us out of diapers?
18:49Yes.
18:53Karen?
18:56Between your swordmaster training in the sisterhood, Maury Nezi will grow too full of herself
19:00to bat.
19:02She has become quite good, but she'll acquits herself well on Wallach Knight.
19:08How was the sisterhood?
19:10Well, if you like barren landscapes and minimalism, you'd be very happy.
19:18Princess?
19:19You wanna see?
19:20Mmhmm.
19:30As a royal wedding present, House Richesi gifts the House of Carino a newly built fleet
19:36of Ballista motherships.
19:39Emperor Carino has reviewed House Richesi's proposal and finds the terms to be acceptable.
19:46A fleet that will know no equal.
19:49Dust storms won't hinder it.
19:52Fremen don't stand a chance against it.
19:55Your issues on Arrakis will be a thing of the past and spice will flow.
20:02One more thing, it occurred to me that having our own wing in the palace might smooth the
20:08transition.
20:10That wasn't part of the arrangement.
20:12Your Majesty, I'm sorry to be frank, but your issues on Arrakis aren't going away.
20:16Not without my ships to protect the harvest from Fremen attacks.
20:22It is in my blood to build, and I do it spectacularly well.
20:27Your admirals know Richesi's ships are superior to all the others.
20:33Just last month, I heard you lost another excavator and a whole regiment?
20:38Would you let this small ask derail our entire agreement?
20:56Try to make a fool of me.
21:19Very well, you have a deal.
21:22Excellent.
21:25See you at the engagement ceremony.
21:31If you wish to serve the great houses as truth-sayers and shape the flow of power,
21:36you must first exert power over yourself.
21:41Your mind and body must be within your control.
21:46Only then can you discern the truth.
21:53In front of you are men and women from the Imperial prison.
21:58Thieves, swindlers, con-artists.
22:00Your task is to demonstrate at the least a rudimentary command of truth-saying.
22:04We have removed all barriers to your subjects to make this task easier.
22:08You may begin.
22:19Ain't you a pretty little thing?
22:28Ain't you a pretty little thing?
22:35Ain't you a bit o-
22:50Her words are true, but her intent is to deceive.
22:54He lies. This man is a liar.
22:58Honestly, these were the best you could find.
23:05If you think it's so simple to deceive, sister, tell us, why are you here?
23:12My story.
23:14When I was a child, my mother and father sold me to a man who made his money peddling the
23:19flesh of children.
23:21I'll spare you the details.
23:24But I bided my time until he got sloppy with his knives.
23:30I slit his throat in his sleep.
23:34Then I went home.
23:38And did the same to my parents.
23:45The love's on your faces.
24:06This is my tradition.
24:09I wore this when I first met your father.
24:11He was a stranger to me, too.
24:16The veil belonged to my mother.
24:18Made by the wanderers of Harmanthep.
24:21Very understated.
24:23It's a symbol of strength.
24:27Something I wish you'd show a little more of.
24:32Instead of allowing those sorceresses to woo you to their school.
24:37The sisterhood will teach me skills that will aid in my leadership.
24:41This arrangement isn't what I wanted.
24:43Why not?
24:45I hear Pruitt Richese is quite charming.
24:47The boy is nine.
24:48Every year before he comes of age is mine to do with what I will.
24:52I'd make him younger if I could.
24:54You took my counsel.
24:55You'd rule how you want and marry who you want.
25:03I see the way you look at our new swordmaster.
25:07I'm getting what I want.
25:13You're not the only one.
25:14I know this how to negotiate.
25:35I'm surrounded by vipers, Kasha.
25:38The Duke Richese is the worst of them all.
25:40The Duke is no viper.
25:42He's simply a man.
25:44Your Majesty.
25:45Where are you from with the Kasha?
25:46Swordmaster.
25:48Where is he, Kirk?
25:49There's a soldier here from Maracus.
25:51Can't you deal with it?
25:52It's Desmond Hart, sir.
25:54He survived.
26:11Desmond Hart.
26:14Your Majesty.
26:16It's an honor.
26:18Twelve tours of Arrakis when few last more than one.
26:22Multiple commendations.
26:24We heard your regiment was wiped out in a Fremen attack.
26:29Harvester, transports, everything.
26:32That is why I've come.
26:36Because I'm the only one that can tell you the truth.
26:41The attack on Arrakis.
26:44It wasn't Fremen.
26:47They were insurgents from your own allied worlds.
26:50The equipment they used was from off-planet.
26:52And they were trained in our ways.
26:55Once a harvester ejected its payload of spice,
26:58their ship collected it.
27:00It was theft.
27:07Kasha.
27:11This story is true, Your Majesty.
27:14Or at least he believes it to be.
27:18Then why wasn't I informed?
27:19It must be an isolated incident.
27:27You've been long on Arrakis.
27:29I imagine you're eager for some leave.
27:34Actually, Your Majesty, I was hoping not.
27:37That I could get the sun in here in the palace.
27:40Well, I'm sure we can find something suitable for a man of your talents.
27:45In the meantime,
27:47we're about to have quite a party.
27:50Join us.
28:00Let's go.
28:32Let's go.
29:11I came to say goodbye.
29:14Kasha, what's wrong?
29:23I remember today, my sisters, and I found you.
29:27We had no way of knowing what we would discover.
29:31A child held captive for years.
29:35But the moment I saw you, I knew that one day you would lead our Imperium to a better future.
29:47I have something I need to attend to, but I'll be back soon.
29:53Let's go.
29:55Let's go.
29:55Let's go.
29:55Let's go.
29:57Let's go.
30:07Let's go.
30:08Let's go.
30:15Let's go.
30:21Let's go.
30:21Let's go.
30:22Let's go.
30:22Let's go.
30:24Let's go.
30:50Let's go.
31:18Let's go.
31:28Let's go.
31:35Let's go.
31:40Let's go.
31:41Let's go.
32:08Let's go.
32:24Let's go.
32:28Let's go.
32:31Let's go.
32:37Let's go.
32:40Let's go.
32:40If she can be tamed.
32:43It reminds me of someone else I know.
32:45When was I ever tamed?
32:47Never.
32:48Have you asked our mother?
32:53I think the Princess would like her, but she's too independent a thinker.
33:00We need to pair an eyes with someone we can trust to keep her in line.
33:04She won't be under Kasia's influence much longer.
33:06Well, Theodosia.
33:10She has reason to be loyal to us.
33:13We took her own when she had nowhere else to turn.
33:16She excels in her studies.
33:17She is uniquely useful.
33:22I'll see.
33:24Oh, don't assemble, sister.
33:25You're only hard on her because she's your favorite.
33:28Well, your favorite's like a lamb lost in the woods.
33:38Tyler is a true empath.
33:41And given her lineage, she will be a natural-born truth-sayer.
33:48She needs to be nurtured.
33:50Weakness is not something to nurture.
33:54She's young. She's afraid. She's in awe of you.
33:57And in time, she'll grow all those hard layers that you measure worth by.
34:03As I do.
34:05Don't underestimate yourself, Tyler.
34:09What matters most is what's underneath those hard layers.
34:39Theodosia to the
34:53whatever trepidation you're feeling it's not trepidation what i saw was no ordinary nightmare
34:58the fear i felt i still feel
35:06you don't know nas like i do
35:09she's strong not easily handled good that's why she was chosen you forget i'm the one who bonded
35:17with her since she was a child who deflects the empress's interference who assuages the emperor's
35:23fears even as we weaken him on arrakis now is not the time to lose faith in a plan that
35:29has been
35:29decades in the making and what if this plan of yours causes the very thing we seek to prevent
35:37what if we've brought on the reckoning rakella spoke of you forget i'm the one that rakella asked for
35:43as she lay dying i shall see the burning truth i think i know what she wanted
35:57why don't you stay the night remind yourself of your purpose
36:01and tomorrow you must return to salusa secundus nothing is more important than your work there

37:01Your majesty, may I present to you my son and the future your royal line, Lord Pruitt Rechese.
37:16May the Rechese seed find purchase in royal wounds.
37:51May the Rechese as well as you
37:57If Kasia believes something is wrong, the least we can do is our due diligence.
38:01Why do you dismiss her out of hand?
38:03It wasn't out of hand.
38:05I heard what she said.
38:07And then I dismissed her.
38:11So it is blind obedience you want?
38:14Yes.
38:15Well, at least that's constant.
38:17I have done everything that Rekona asked.
38:20I have protected our work.
38:21I have grown our ranks.
38:22Our hands are poised on the levers of power, and yet our grasp on it is still fragile.
38:28I am trying to protect us and the Imperium the only way I know how.
38:34I believe in your commitment, Valia.
38:43Oh, maybe she's grown too close to my niece.
38:46It's so unlike her to abandon her post at this precarious point.
38:49That is exactly my point.
38:52Why not just check the match?
38:55See if Princess Inez truly is the one we should put all our hopes in.
39:09My family calls me Ness.
39:12What do they call you?
39:14Pruitt.
39:15So what do you do?
39:16You don't actually have to speak.
39:18Mother says this is just a formality.
39:20Baby, you're British.
39:21Huh?
39:27I don't see.
39:27I don't want to be.
39:30Baby, I hope I will be At Likea.
39:30This is a Ayala!
39:34Bye!
39:35Bye!
39:43evil
40:28Whale fur.
40:30The finest in the known universe.
40:32The profit is there.
40:34It's simple mathematics, really.
40:37I'm sure you're right, Baron Harkin.
40:38Let me think about it.
40:39You won't regret it.
40:42And whale fur never goes out of style.
40:43Oh, it would be incredible for your uniform.
40:47And have we discussed the untapped value of whale seed?
40:52It's medicinal benefits.
40:54Would you excuse me a moment, please?
41:08What do you have there?
41:11Nothing.
41:11Nothing.
41:17Your intent is to deceive.
41:20You're not a truth-sayer.
41:21Well, not yet.
41:22But I know a liar when I see one.
41:30Let's see.
41:32What's the Game?
41:33I know.
41:33Money being in the room, mother.
41:35I know.
41:42I know.
41:51That is so november.
41:54I know.
41:57I know you, she's alive.
42:00It hurts, but it hurts.
42:00I know.
42:00I know, it hurts.
42:11That technology is forbidden!
42:16Princess Uneth, step aside.
42:23Don't tell me you're all afraid of a little toy.
42:25Afraid?
42:27You exist because House Carino defeated Thinking Machines.
42:35Have a girl.
42:37Let's be sensible.
42:40And let this ruin our celebration.
42:52Let us... for now...
42:56Overlook this transgression.
43:32Thank you, nurse.
43:35Once our marriage goes through, you pull something like that again and I'll stab you myself a little shit.
43:41Now get rid of that thing.
43:58Our plan holds.
44:00I checked the genetic archive.
44:02Inez is the right choice.
44:03And this is the match that stabilizes the Carino land for centuries.
44:08I'm wondering if, when all this is over, Kasha shouldn't spend some time here with us on Warlock 9.
44:15Kasha may be wrong about the wedding, but no one is closer to the Emperor. We need her influence.
44:21You can't keep making pieces off the board just because they disagree with you.
44:26If you want to protect her, Tula, get her head straight.
44:48After all our training, the Princess will just stroll in here as an acolyte. How's that fair?
44:53She's a princess. She's never known for her.
45:08We just passed the Lois.
45:11We're not going to the Lois.
45:14We're going to Division.
45:16One last night out. You and me.
45:20In that case...
45:40You and me.
46:00Majesty...
46:02Are you all right?
46:04Yes, yes it's nothing.
46:11Fear can be debilitating, especially on a planet like Arrakis, where everything is constantly trying to kill you.
46:24You'll find some losers in Kunduz familiar.
46:29No, thank you.
46:31What do you think? You think a fleet of fighters will be enough to end my troubles on Arrakis?
46:37Yes.
46:40But they'll do nothing about the growing insurgency in the Imperium.
46:44That was a isolated incident.
46:48Your Majesty, the theft of spice is a mere symptom.
46:52Your troubles are far greater than just Arrakis.
47:04More and more people question if we're too quick to discard the machines.
47:09And why only the great houses profit from spice?
47:14Has this not been shared with you?
47:17I thought the witches knew everything that went on.
47:19What?
47:19What?
47:25Kasha's never led me astray.
47:29But I...
47:30I feel this wedding is wrong.
47:33You can call it tough.
47:35And lose control of Arrakis.
47:39My father never suffered such humiliation.
47:41His father before him...
47:43Without spice, the great houses would feed me to the worm.
47:49Do you believe in forces that extend beyond man and machine?
47:56I don't know what I believe anymore.
48:00Or then believe this.
48:03I should not be here.
48:05That attack should have killed me.
48:08The fear I felt staring down in that abyss.
48:14You know what I prayed for then?
48:18The strength...
48:21To feel...
48:23Nothing.
48:26Next thing I know, I'm clawing my way out of the sand.
48:29My lungs are screaming.
48:30And when I took my first breath...
48:34I felt reborn.
48:37Different.
48:38I was no longer afraid.
48:45The gods are listening.
48:48The gods?
48:54Religion is my wife's refuge.
49:01There's only something.
49:03The gods freed me from this vice of a wedding.
49:07Consider me a true believer.
49:39Yet to tie a personality.
49:46There's no shield.
49:49I'm on my side as well.
49:51Oh no!
50:21Oh no!
50:22Want a shot?
50:24Atreides?
50:27Everything okay?
50:28We're good
50:34Are we good?
50:39We're good
50:53We're good
51:40In today's time, I'll be in another world.
52:25I'll be in another world.
52:27What's wrong?
52:28Bad dreams?
52:30Everything's a joke to you.
52:34Why are you even here?
52:41Your story was a lie, but there was truth behind it.
52:49I was raised here.
52:51In a sister.
52:54The Reverend Mothers, they don't always know who our parents are.
52:58And even if they do, they don't tell us.
53:05They're worried always.
53:08One way or another, our past always finds us.
53:11What?
53:26God.
53:40Jesus!
53:41Let's go.
54:16Let's go.
54:41Let's go.
54:41Let's go.
54:55Let's go.
55:09Let's go.
55:11Let's go.
55:12Let's go.
55:20Let's go.
55:22Let's go.
55:54Let's go.
56:23Let's go.
56:28Let's go.
56:32Let's go.
56:36Let's go.
56:36Let's go.
56:37Hold again.
56:38Let's go.
56:39Let's go.
56:50Let's go.
57:07That is why I've been gifted a great battle.
57:11How would you mean?
57:13To win a war requires sacrifice.
57:18And yours, it won't be in vain.
57:25It's okay.
57:26It's okay.
57:30It's okay.
57:31Help! Help! Help! Help me, please!
57:35My heart! Stop!
57:37Help me, please!
57:46Help!
57:48Help!
58:03Oh, my God.
58:24Oh, my God.
58:56Oh, my God.
59:01Oh, my God.
59:03Oh, my God.
59:06Oh, my God.
59:13Oh, my God.
59:18Oh, my God.
59:19Oh, my God.
59:24Oh, my God.
59:26Oh, my God.
