01:59If it were not for the actions of one good and loyal subject,
02:04today's ceremony would have been a funeral.
02:08Now, more than ever, we need to defend our values with ferocity and pride.
02:15That is why I have assembled a new elite regiment.
02:20And I charge you, the Esmond Heart, as my new Bashar.
02:26To lead these soldiers of the Imperium and eradicate treason.
02:31And serve my house with honor and loyalty.
02:45For the Imperium!
03:02I perform my duty.
03:04If my father gave you orders to watch me, then you'd better keep up.
03:22My family's lives were just threatened. I need you to deal with that.
03:26I'll take care of the insurgents, Your Majesty.
03:29May I suggest you leave the fleet in orbit over Seleucid a bit longer.
03:35Delay is stabilizing trade.
03:37Hmm?
03:38Show strength.
03:40A reminder of where power really lies.
03:44You were born to wear that uniform.
03:46I was born to serve Your Grace.
03:49You were born to serve Your Grace.
04:11Francesco.
04:15It's been a long time for me to call.
04:19Sister Francesco, what a surprise.
04:23Did no one inform you this was a private affair?
04:28Your Grace, I'm not here on sisterhood business.
04:33Constantine sent me a message.
04:37I'm here to see my son.
04:44I'm here.
04:44I'm here.
04:50I'm here.
04:51I'm here.
04:51Your orders are to guard my sister, not prevent me from seeing her.
04:55Stop.
04:55You think it's them preventing you?
04:57Oh, come on, Nez.
04:58Is this really necessary?
05:00Fine.
05:03I am...
05:04Sorry?
05:04Is that what you came to say?
05:06If that's all.
05:07I am sorry, Nez.
05:09No, that's not all.
05:10I...
05:13I feel terrible for leaving you at the landslide.
05:16Father thought I was coming to support him.
05:20And he was...
05:24Proud.
05:39You should have told me what happened.
05:42I won't let you down like that again.
05:46Heat is just energy.
05:49With discipline, we can redistribute that energy without harm.
05:56Focus mind is your greatest protector.
05:59And what protection do we have when nightmares invade our minds?
06:03The highest master in the material world is the human mind.
06:06Spare me the mysticism.
06:07The entire school is sharing a nightmare.
06:09And all we get is silence.
06:12Whose eyes watch from the darkness?
06:14You are out of line, Acolyte.
06:15You want us to discern truth?
06:17How is that possible when none of it exists here?
06:20We're dealing with a grave situation.
06:23Not only here on Wallach 9, but on the Imperial planet.
06:26That is the truth.
06:27Find your resolve.
06:29Remember your duty.
06:30Or leave.
06:32Those are the options.
06:33The choice is yours.
06:38You.
06:39Out.
06:40Now.
06:51Am I being expelled?
06:52No, Sister Jen.
06:54Follow me.
06:57Is your sleep still uninterrupted?
07:00Do you mean have I had the dream?
07:01No.
07:02I don't know why.
07:04I don't mean you're resistant to it.
07:09Which would make you the perfect person to help me.
07:15Whatever you need.
07:16What I need.
07:18Is your discretion.
07:27I've taken a great risk doing what I'm about to show you.
07:31And you're going to have an opinion about it.
07:32I don't understand why I had to try.
07:43I don't understand why I had to try.
08:02It's one of her foremothers.
08:05Remember.
08:06We talked about Lila.
08:08What could you do to her?
08:10I found a way for her to survive.
08:12Let go of me!
08:13This is survival!
08:15Lila is not lost to us.
08:17She just doesn't know what she's doing.
08:19We need to guide her back to herself.
08:23Lila!
08:24Lila, if you can hear me, follow my voice.
08:28I have missed you so much!
08:30Lila!
08:30Shhh!
08:31Shhh!
08:32It's okay.
08:44In time, the ancestors will settle.
08:50And she will learn to manage them.
08:52Now, I need you to stay here with her because you are her friend.
08:57I have other matters I have to attend to.
09:00If you must.
09:01This is a mild sedative.
09:04But only as a last resort.
09:17This is the chair.
09:18I heard you.
09:20I'm here, Doris.
09:21I'm here.
09:46Mother?
09:55It's so good to see you, son.
10:02How is the other side of the universe?
10:04I wasn't expecting you.
10:06I came as soon as I got your message.
10:08My message?
10:09I didn't send a crystal.
10:11I thought you were here because of Karsha.
10:15Karsha?
10:18She's...
10:18Don't you know?
10:21Karsha died.
10:25Mother Superior came to Zimir and delivered the news herself.
10:35Come in.
10:39Lord Bashar?
10:42Hm.
10:44Well, well, well.
10:47You are audacious.
10:52I've come to offer a formal apology.
10:54My motion to open an enquiry against House Torino was inexcusable.
10:58Your apology is due to the Emperor.
11:01Not me.
11:03You have his ear.
11:09Shut the door.
11:14What you did at the High Council?
11:16Borders on treason.
11:18I swear.
11:18It was poor judgement.
11:20Nothing more.
11:22I made the error of listening to my aunt's suggestion.
11:26I was misguided.
11:27That happens often when dealing with her.
11:35Your aunt made you do it.
11:37That woman does nothing but bring shame to our house.
11:44Come sit.
11:46Come sit.
11:58Why should I have so of you?
12:01Because...
12:02We are not our bloodlines.
12:07My great uncle saw through her.
12:09Why couldn't I before he...
12:10Shhh.
12:14I want to know what the ties are between the sisterhood...
12:19...and the rebellion.
12:21I don't know.
12:23I don't know who my aunt's in league with.
12:25I wouldn't describe us as close.
12:29Do you believe that they are meddling in the spy street?
12:33To weaken the Emperor?
12:41Well...
12:44Give me evidence.
12:45The Imperial House.
12:47We will reward you.
12:59I do have something.
13:00You do.
13:02For a time...
13:04Pirates were hijacking every other shipment of my whale fur.
13:07No one knew who they were.
13:08Where to find them.
13:09Just...
13:10Just dead ends.
13:12So...
13:13I stopped looking for pirates.
13:15And I started looking for contraband instead.
13:17Do you know what I found?
13:18In Ximia.
13:19It all goes through one underground market.
13:22Run by a gang of arrakeen smugglers.
13:24Wale fur.
13:26Weapons.
13:27Spice.
13:28Which means...
13:30I don't know this is your story.
13:31What does it mean?
13:32The rebels.
13:34They must have gone through the underground market.
13:37They must have gone...
13:39Through the underground market.
13:41To sell the spice.
13:42To raise the salary.
13:44To buy the thinking machine.
13:45I'd wager...
13:46If you visit some of these...
13:49Smugglers and...
13:53Win them over with your renowned charms.
13:58I'll tell you exactly who the insurgents are.
14:00And where to find them.
14:01And who they're in league with.
14:04Hmm.
14:18Mr. Stantz.
14:19I declare your name.
14:21I'll need proof that your aunt is involved.
14:24I'll need proof that your aunt is involved.
14:48Why didn't you tell me the truth?
14:50The Spacing Guild have been known to monitor dispatches.
14:53I couldn't risk your mission with them.
14:54And I couldn't risk the Emperor finding out that I'd summoned you.
14:57The situation is too precarious.
15:01Francesca.
15:02What happened to Kasia was just the beginning.
15:10We have been sidelined.
15:12The Emperor refuses a truth-sayer.
15:18And his new Bashar is leading him on a despotic path.
15:23This is the reckoning Rekula spoke of?
15:26Yes.
15:27Yes.
15:29But he may be only the tip of the spear.
15:31What does Tula have to say?
15:34Tula stands by my side, as she has always done it.
15:37If she was here, she would tell you, we must act.
15:41I'm going to eliminate Desmond Hart. That's already in progress.
15:45What I need you to do, when that happens, is to guide Carino back to us.
15:50And convince him to allow Inez to study on Warlock Nine.
15:53And Constantine?
15:56He was just a ruse?
15:57The Emperor has yet to appoint a commander of his new fleet.
16:03I think it would be wise if the son of his sister was in charge of that most vital asset.
16:09The odds of my success are low if the new Bashar is in my way.
16:12He won't be in your way.
16:15I'm going to keep him occupied.
16:37We're looking for insurgents.
16:38We're looking for insurgents.
16:55You want to come?
17:00I didn't realize you had a dance lesson.
17:04Lord?
17:04Maybe next time.
17:07Maybe next time.
17:34You could save your life.
17:35But I will not teach you if you don't take it seriously.
17:37That's it.
17:39That's your lesson for today.
17:57Mikaela.
17:58You have to get off planet.
17:59The Emperor's new police dogs are out in force.
18:03Alright.
18:03Let's get your heart rate to where it should be.
18:05They're all over the port Mikaela.
18:07Roust and smugglers.
18:08It's only a matter of time before he tears someone in half and leads them here.
18:10You have to go.
18:11Now.
18:11Okay.
18:12And what about you?
18:13My cover's not blown.
18:17I've spent years getting to that position.
18:21It'd be foolish of me to burn it now.
18:23And this would have nothing to do with the Princess.
18:26I've been doing this a lot longer than you have.
18:28And I'll give you some advice.
18:29Do not ever make the mistake of thinking you can become the man you were pretending to be.
18:35Even if that man's better than me.
18:39Especially then.
18:45Come on.
18:47Horace would want you to be safe.
18:50If you think Horace would want me to run, you obviously didn't know I'm that well.
18:56Chain detonators.
18:57How did you get those?
18:59I have my own source as Atreides.
19:01Let Desmond Heart come.
19:03I'm preparing quite a worthy greeting.
19:27I'm the mother superior.
19:51I said goodbye to you.
19:54We all did.
19:56They told us it was the only way.
20:00I should have done more.
20:02It's not your fault.
20:04You tried to warn me.
20:07You were right.
20:09The Sisterhood is in trouble.
20:12I don't know where to begin.
20:16The nightmares came and everyone all saw the same thing.
20:19The gaping maw of Shai Halud.
20:22Swallowed by darkness until two eyes stared back.
20:25Wait, you had the nightmare too?
20:27It wasn't a nightmare.
20:29It was prescience.
20:32I foresaw the reckoning that would drive the Imperium to tyranny.
20:37If he succeeds,
20:40humanity will backslide into self-destruction.
20:44You saw all of that during the agony?
20:49On my deathbed.
20:53Where is Valya?
20:57You're not Lila.
21:08Lila.
21:11You should be resting.
21:14I thought I told you to keep her downstairs.
21:17Sister Tula, this station is an absolute mess.
21:22You clearly resorted to unorthodox methods to access my knowledge and now I'm here.
21:28Let's get to work.
21:30Mother of Galla.
21:32Staring will only squander this opportunity.
21:36I don't know how long I have in control.
21:38Uh, Sister.
21:42I need you to track the data.
21:44Look for patterns.
21:47Samples of Sister Kash's brain stem?
21:50Uh, correct.
21:52The Mother School is still standing.
21:56It gives me some relief.
21:58Valya has increased our numbers and our influence.
22:02And she has protected the beating heart of the Sisterhood.
22:06Then she's been faithful to her mission.
22:09It wasn't wrong for me to task her, even if it risks splitting the Sisterhood down the middle.
22:16I feared my great work would be lost.
22:20What great work?
22:22Not the time for questions, Sister Tula.
22:24My granddaughter, Dorothea, did she and Valya ever resolve their differences?
22:37I see.
22:45Your sister's will never wanes.
23:01This tissue damage, you ever seen this before?
23:03You have?
23:04During the war.
23:04Sister?
23:05Get me a new sample.
23:23You're back.
23:26Did the lead I gave you help?
23:28Hart was grateful.
23:30If he gets what he needs from these smugglers, I'm hopeful the acrimony between us will be forgotten.
23:36It won't.
23:38But we can use his distrust to your advantage.
23:43You did have a lot to say about you and your sisterhood.
23:46Asked if I knew what you're up to.
23:50What are you up to?
23:52What we're always up to, Harrow.
23:54Serving the Imperium.
23:57Your eagerness to help the Bashar will get House Harkonnen back into the Emperor's good graces.
24:05You've wanted this your entire life.
24:07And here I am, gifting it to you.
24:11If I only had a truth, Sayah, to tell me if you're sincere or not.
24:15Well, you'll just have to trust me.
24:34I must go.
24:36I'll ship to parts in a few hours.
24:38You sure you don't want to come with me to lay dear Uncle Evgeny to rest among our ancestors?
24:43I've already said my goodbyes.
24:46I'm sure every word brought him peace.
24:50I'll send your regards to Langevelle.
24:52Consider this your home while I'm gone.
25:02I don't understand.
25:04The decision to lead Desmond Hart to the Rebels.
25:07How does Sister Francesca factor in?
25:11One day you and the others will learn the art of imprinting.
25:15Making an impression so strong it alters the course of someone's life.
25:19This is an emotional and physical bond that never breaks.
25:28What do you want, Francesca?
25:32I want you to stop managing our son and start supporting him.
25:36Test him with some real responsibility.
25:40That boy would rather gallivant his way through all the private bedchambers of the great houses than lead.
25:45He shows no desire, no initiative.
25:48You had a similar reputation in your youth.
25:50Which I believe was also very frustrating to your father.
25:54Don't leave yourself out of the story.
25:57I have much support from you.
26:02Give our son his opportunity, Aviko.
26:04It will draw out the best in him.
26:08Make him prove himself.
26:12And he'll become a man as capable and formidable as you are now.
26:36I didn't come here to drive a bus between you and your wife, Aviko.
26:39Annalia, he'll come here to the house.
26:39No, I know.
26:44No...
26:48No...
26:55No, no, no...
26:59No, no, no.
27:04No, no, no.
27:09During the Omnius Plague, the machines designed a pathogen that incubated in the human body,
27:16releasing an enzyme that infected the liver.
27:19This enzyme has similar properties, but it has concentrated itself in Kasha's amygdala, the fear centre.
27:29We believe that's where the damage began.
27:35I said I would not be disturbed unless it's an emergency.
27:39What's going on in there?
27:41It's not safe for you.
27:42Who's in there with you?
27:44That is not your concern.
27:45My concern? Do you even know what's happening in this school?
27:49Students are demanding to be sent home. They are fleeing in fear.
27:53Wait until they tell their families that the acting proctor was completely absent.
27:58Sister Avila, you forget your place.
28:01From other superior value.
28:06Tulan, this is a virus. The nightmares, the deaths, they're connected to a genetically modified airborne RNA retrovirus.
28:17Sister Avila?
28:22What kind of abomination is this?
28:25I found a way to save her.
28:28Sister Avila is still in recovery.
28:32And does Valia know about this?
28:33I am doing as I was tasked to do.
28:37To protect the Sisterhood at all costs. Is that not your aim?
28:40Of course it is, but I...
28:41Good!
28:42Then we are in agreement.
28:44You may go now.
28:46Don't mention a word of this to anyone, understood?
28:48I am...
29:01I am not going for it.
29:03I am not going for it.
29:05Where are you?
29:06I am going for it.
29:14To protect the Sisterhood of the Queen of the Old Man.
29:14Let's go and enter the new version of the Old Man.
29:17I am not going for it.
29:17I am not going for it.
29:17I am not going for it.
29:17I am not going for it.
29:18My name is me.
29:27The new Bashar, welcome.
29:31How about a little taste on the house?
29:35I hope you haven't been relying on any illegal shipments or spies, have you?
29:41Because, as it happens, I just spoke to a smudelon.
29:46Unfortunately, for him, most of what he said was screaming.
29:51But he told me something very interesting.
29:54He said this place has a heartbed for insurgent activity.
30:00And he said that a spy who's been smuggling in has been paying for the party.
30:06That make any sense to you?
30:09No, it doesn't.
30:14Okay.
30:21Um!
30:22Uh!
30:27Uh!
30:29Uh!
30:30How hard are you allowed me to hear you!
30:36What do you think?
30:48you know what strikes me as odd is the fact that you are here a fremen profiting
30:55of the rape of your own planet communing with your oppressors i've found a different way to
31:01survive or a different way to kill what i really want to know is how the sisterhood is connected
31:09to the rebellion you give me something i can use i shall spare your life
