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...
00:39History branded my family as cowards.
00:44And so we were banished to a desolate world.
00:55Others 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, Valia Harkonnen, would set out to change it.
01:24So I broke free from the past.
01:27And 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.
01:38Ra'kela Berto Aniru.
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.
02:02Ra'kela 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 Ra'kela 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 and 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.
03:21Theora
03:50Theora
03:58Wait a minute, Ola.
04:11These bras won't help her.
04:13What is she doing?
04:17Me, I'm on the superior.
04:19I'm on the superior.
04:21Ben!
04:22Oh, red dust!
04:25Tell him to leave us now.
04:30Ben!
04:32Ben!
04:39He's coming.
04:42Terrence, I don't fail.
05:01Even if he's here...
05:02...he was an enemy.
05:03I could just do this with the enemies.
05:04A lot of enemies are stalled.
05:05No, that's not good.
05:08There, do you have to go!
05:08The enemy can be chased by the enemy.
05:09Do no one.
05:10Yeah, we're a good enemy.
05:14Come, move on, help me.
05:18...
05:26Value...
05:28Grow us
05:30Safeguard of power
05:34Use every tool
05:36Sisterheart must be strength
05:38Or it will fall
05:44You will be the one to see the burning truth and know.
06:11She warned us to ran Arafel, reckoning a holy judgement brought on by a tyrant.
06:19From what I saw in Raquelas eyes, I believe one is coming for us.
06:24We have to prepare.
06:26How?
06:29By putting one of ours on the throne.
06:36A sister.
06:40The first empress to rule the Imperium.
06:44One loyal to us.
06:46Dorothea will never agree.
06:47She has to, Kasha.
06:49It's the only thing that ensures our protection.
07:09Mother Raquelas always said we could not be split in our purpose.
07:21Factions in the sisterhood would only weaken our order.
07:29What she foresaw was a force of unimaginable darkness that could destroy us completely.
07:43I 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.
08:05Mother Raquelas urged us to use every tool.
08:09Humility is the foundation of our virtues.
08:13Humility is the foundation of our virtues.
08:15The mind of man is holy.
08:18The mind of man is holy.
08:20Thou shalt not disfigure the soul.
08:23Thou shalt not disfigure the soul.
08:38Thou shalt not disfigure the soul.
08:41That is why Mother Rakela 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 Rakela didn't share your beliefs, nor do others aside from your faction of zealots.
10:00You heard what she said. You 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.
10:25I beg of you, don't do this!
10:28Yartea!
10:31Stop!
10:36Face me!
10:44What?
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 for your hearkening.
11:11Then take out your blade!
11:16Find it into your threat!
11:40I knew then, the 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?
11:55No!
11:59Sister, I could have passed away.
12:27By the end of this one.
12:32Boy.
12:55The
13:14House Barak and House Kumali have put in requests for a truth-sayer, and House Harkonnen
13:21has put in a fourth request. Mother Superior Valiar. Yes, to House Barak. Kumali will have to wait.
13:39And you can tell House Harkonnen no for a fourth time.
13:48Excuse me, Sister Alina.
14:06Imperial guards, they're here for the princess. And your husband must be quite a catch, fleeing
14:13him so quickly. That's the princess's half-brother. He has no claim to the throne.
14:26A man with no purpose devises only mischief.
14:29Exactly. 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. And one day I'll be her truth-sayer
14:43and 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. Lord Constantine, there will be no risk to the princess here.
15:09One of those other daughters is the heir to the golden lion throne. If my sister's going to spend the
15:15next ten years here, we need to take precautions.
15:18Also, the princess will require her own quarters.
15:24Once your sister is here, she will be treated as every other student. The dormitory is quite comfortable.
15:30Well, that's not acceptable.
15:33Well, that is unfortunate.
15:46I had to try.
15:51Shall 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.
16:31We 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 out.
17:30I miss her.
17:30What?
17:31No, no, no.
17:45No, no, no.
17:51Ah!
17:54Ah!
17:55Awww!
17:56Oh, no, no, no.
17:57Oh, no, no.
17:58Oh, no, no.
17:59Oh, no.
18:18You almost had me that time.
18:20I did not.
18:29Focus on the body, not the blade.
18:31The eyes, they can lie, but this, this will tell you where your opponent's heading, even
18:38before they know.
18:41Unhand the princess!
18:42Filthy scum.
18:44Constantine, you made it!
18:46How could I miss you tying the knot to avoid us out of diapers?
18:53Karen?
18:56It's like no swordmaster training in the sisterhood, Maureen Nezi will grow too full of herself
19:00to bat.
19:02She has become quite good, but she'll acquits herself well on Moloch 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 gives the House of Carino a newly built fleet of
19:36Ballista 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.
19:50Dust 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 that Richesi's ships are superior to all the others.
20:33Just last month, I heard you lost another excavator and a whole regiment?
20:39Would 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.
21:31You wish to serve the great houses as truth-sayers and shape the flow of power, you must first
21:37exert 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. Thieves, 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.
22:09You may begin.
22:19Ain't you a pretty little thing?
22:28Ain't you a pretty little thing?
22:52Ain't you a pretty little thing so this, I can't miss him.
22:56Ain't you a pretty little bit.
22:59Ain't you a pretty little effort in your suit?
23:01Ain't no big reason it sounds like the world.
23:02Ain't you a pretty littlerays of myself doing with each Hal ans?
23:04I'm not born!
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.
23:31I slit his throat in his sleep.
23:35Then I went home and did the same to my parents.
23:46Looks on your faces!
24:06This is my tradition.
24:09I wore this when I first met your father.
24:12It was a stranger to me, too.
24:16The veil belonged to my mother, made 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 Pruid Richelaisy 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.
25:08I'm getting what I want.
25:13You're not the only one.
25:14I know how to negotiate.
25:36I'm surrounded by vipers, Kasha.
25:38Duke Richelaisy is the worst of them all.
25:40The Duke is no viper.
25:42He's simply a man.
25:44Your Majesty, Reverend Mother Kasha.
25:46Swordmaster?
25:48What is he, Kirk?
25:49He'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.
26:15Your 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.
26:30Harvester, transports, everything.
26:32That is why I've come.
26:36Because I'm the only one that can tell you the truth.
26:42The 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.
26:52Now we're trained in our ways.
26:55Once a harvester ejected its payload of spice,
26:58their ship collected it.
27:00It was theft.
27:08Kersha.
27:11This story is true, Your Majesty.
27:14Or at least he believes it to be.
27:18Then why wasn't 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 a son in here at 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.
27:51Join us.
27:51an apartment.
28:05I reckon he was a robot.
28:07Oh, my God!
28:08No!
28:09No!
28:12No!
28:15No!
28:16No!
28:17I reckon he was aā¦
28:20No!
28:21No!
28:32I'm dead!
28:35You did it!
28:46Ah!
29:11I came to say goodbye.
29:14Kasha, what's wrong?
29:23Remember the day my sisters and I found you.
29:27We had no way of knowing what we would discover.
29:32A 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.
29:48I have something I need to attend to, but I'll be back soon.
30:36Kasha is going to miss the engagement ceremony, but she says she'll be back for the wedding.
30:40Oh, thank the stars. What would we possibly do without her?
30:44Look, I know you're angry with me about this wedding.
30:47What choice do I have?
30:50Our marriage may have joined the Imperium. It didn't cement it.
30:53Stop parroting her words back at me. I know exactly what our marriage did. I brokered it.
30:57I'm telling you, they chose that boy. Knowing his age would give them years to make Nez one of their
31:01own.
31:02Stop fighting this wedding, Natalia. That boy comes with a fleet of fighters which I need for Arrakis.
31:14There was a time when you took my views seriously. Imperium was the stronger for it.
31:22Yes, well, you and I, we remember things differently.
31:36You need to get dressed. It's time.
31:52Emeline performed well. And it might be wise to pair the princess with someone outside royal circles.
31:59Next.
32:02Not everyone from this school stems from noble houses.
32:05It's not her background that concerns me. She's too rigid. She reeks of piety.
32:09We operate across worlds of all dispositions.
32:12Our aim is not to broaden the princess's worldview. It's to adhere her to our own.
32:18The sisterhoods, you mean?
32:24Acolyte ones are forged in fire. They last a lifetime.
32:29Emeline is a bad influence.
32:31Jen has bite. Doesn't she?
32:38She'll go far. If she can be tamed.
32:43Reminds me of someone else I know.
32:45When was I ever tamed?
32:47Never. If you asked our mother.
32:54Well, I think the princess would like her, but she's too independent a thinker.
33:00We need to pair her in with someone we can trust to keep her in line.
33:04She won't be under Kasia's influence much longer.
33:07Well, Theodosia.
33:10She has reason to be loyal to us.
33:13We took her in when she had nowhere else to turn.
33:16She excels in her studies. She is uniquely useful.
33:22We'll see.
33:24Oh, don't assemble, sister. You'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.
34:53Whatever trepidation you're feeling...
34:55It's not trepidation.
34:57What I saw was no ordinary nightmare.
34:59The fear I felt...
35:01I still feel.
35:06You don't know Nas like I do.
35:09She's strong.
35:11Not easily handled.
35:12Good.
35:13That's why she was chosen.
35:15You forget I'm the one who bonded with her since she was a child.
35:19Who deflects the Empress' interference.
35:21Who assuages the Emperor's fears even as we weaken him on Arrakis.
35:26Now is not the time to lose faith in a plan that has been decades in the making.
35:31And 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?
35:40You forget.
35:41I'm the one that Rakella asked for as she lay dying.
35:46I shall see the burning truth.
35:48I think I know what she wanted.
35:57Why don't you stay the night?
35:59Remind yourself of your purpose.
36:01But tomorrow you must return to Selysa Secundus.
36:05Nothing is more important than your work there.
36:07A sister on the throne.
36:09That's what we agreed.
36:11And this is the marriage that makes it possible.
36:18This wedding will proceed.
36:27House!
36:28We're chasing!
36:29ģģ!ļæ½
37:01Your majesty, may I present to you my son, and the future, your royal line, Lord Pruitt Richese.
37:16May the Richese seed find purchase in royal wounds.
37:57If Kasha can believe something is wrong,
37:59the least we can do is our due diligence.
38:02Why do you dismiss her out of hand?
38:04It wasn't out of hand.
38:05I heard what she said.
38:08And 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 Raquelna asked.
38:20I have protected our work.
38:21I have grown our ranks.
38:23Our hands are poised on the levers of power.
38:25And yet our grasp on it is still fragile.
38:29I am trying to protect us and the Imperium the only way I know how.
38:34I believe in your commitment, Valio.
38:44Oh, maybe she's grown too close to my niece.
38:47It's so unlike her to abandon her post at this precarious time.
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.
39:18Father says this is just a formality.
39:30If I'm like...
39:31No, Mom.
39:31I justŠŗŠ¾Š¼nyt them all too fast and kaheksy more.
39:38That's good.
41:09What do you have there?
41:11Nothing.
41:17Your intent is to deceive.
41:20You're not a truth-sayer.
41:21Not yet.
41:22But I know a liar when I see one.
41:30Let's see.
41:32Don't.
41:35Don't.
41:36Don't.
41:59I don't know.
42:12That technology is forbidden!
42:17Princess Uneth, step aside.
42:23Don't tell me you're all afraid of a little toy.
42:26Afraid?
42:27You exist because House Carino defeated thinking machines.
42:35Have a go.
42:36Let's be sensible.
42:40Let this ruin our celebration.
42:52Let us, for now,
42:56overlook this transgression.
42:58Let's go.
42:58All right.
43:32Thank you, Nuz.
43:35Once our marriage goes through, you pull something like that again and I'll stab you myself a little shit.
43:41No good rid of that thing.
43:58Our plan holds.
44:00I checked the genetic archive.
44:02Inez is the right choice, and this is the match that stabilizes the Karina like for centuries.
44:08I'm wondering if, when all this is over, Kasha shouldn't spend some time here with us on Warlock Nine.
44:16Kasha may be wrong about the wedding, but no one is closer to the Emperor.
44:19We need her influence.
44:21You can't keep making pieces off the board just because they disagree with you.
44:27If 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.
44:52How's that fair?
44:54She's a princess.
44:55She's never named fair.
45:09We just passed the Lois.
45:11We're not going to the Lois.
45:14We're going to the Vision.
45:16One last night out.
45:18You and me.
45:19In that case.
45:59Magister, are you all right?
46:05Yes, yes, it's nothing.
46:11Fear can be debilitating.
46:15Especially on a planet like Arrakis, where everything is constantly trying to kill you.
46:25You'll find some Lois and Kunduz familiar.
46:29No, thank you.
46:32What do you think?
46:32You 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.
46:44I was a little isolated in school.
46:48Your Majesty, the theft of spice is a mere symptom.
46:53Your 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 spies?
47:14Has this not been shared with you?
47:17I thought the Witches knew everything that went on.
47:25Kasha's never led me astray.
47:29But I feel this wedding is wrong.
47:33You can call it tough and lose control of Arrakis.
47:39My father never suffered such humiliation.
47:42His father before him, without 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.
48:06That attack should have killed me.
48:08The fear I felt staring down in that abyss.
48:15You know what I prayed for, then?
48:19The strength.
48:22To feel...
48:23Nothing.
48:26Next thing I know, I'm clawing my way out of the sand.
48:29My lungs are screaming.
48:31And 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.
49:25Feel...
49:26I feel...
49:27It's me.
49:28It's me.
49:30It's me.
49:30Fear is reallyč³ is me.
49:32It's me.
49:32It's me.
49:32I'mcem.
49:34I'm down.
49:35That was new girl.
49:48Oh
50:17Oh

52:04Oh
52:08Oh
52:10Oh
52:11Oh
52:27What's wrong?
52:28Bad dreams?
52:30Everything's a joke to you
52:34Why are you even here?
52:42Yeah
52:42Your story was a lie
52:45But there was truth behind it
52:49I was raised here
52:51An assistant
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
53:11One way or another our past always finds us
53:33Oh
53:35Oh
53:37Oh
53:37Oh
53:41Oh
53:42Oh
53:50Oh
53:52Oh

54:05Oh
54:05Oh
54:07Oh
54:18Oh
54:20Oh
55:21There you are.
55:30What are you doing out here all along?
55:34I couldn't sleep.
55:36I had a bad dream.
55:47You want to tell me about it?
55:52I'd be afraid to.
55:54After what happened to your toy.
56:01Father says we've become far too strict about such things.
56:08You're a real soldier.
56:10Mm-hmm.
56:11And why are you here?
56:13There's no war here.
56:14But many see it, but I do.
56:17There's a war hidden in plain sight.
56:20Waged by an enemy that has made themselves indispensable.
56:25And has come here to do our thinking for us.
56:28But the machine wars ended ages ago.
56:30They did.
56:31I know.
56:33And that is why it is so troubling that we are being controlled again.
56:37And that is why we are being done.
57:07That is why I've been gifted a great battle.
57:11How would you mean?
57:14To win a war requires sacrifice.
57:18And yours, it won't be in vain.
57:25It's okay. It's okay.
57:33Help me, please!
57:34Help me, please!
57:44Help me, please!
