Dune: Prophecy

They're coming.

Mother Raquella didn't share your beliefs.

Nor do others, aside from your faction of zealots!

You heard what she said! You swore to use every tool!

Because I did not want to fight with her on her deathbed.

I honor my grandmother

but this great work of hers must be destroyed.

I beg of you, don't do this.

Dorotea!

Stop!

Face me!

What?

- What is she doing? - I will never bend to you,

Valya Harkonnen.

Then take out your blade!

Valya, no.

Drive it into your throat!

- What do we do? - Sisterhood above all.

No. We should walk away now.

- We were never here. - It's no use.

They'll read us.

Then we must speak the truth.

Dorotea ended her life by her own hand.

She was in anguish over Mother Raquella's death.

She was weakened by grief.

Unstable.

Unable to see a path forward.

Tula.

Go, we'll take care of this.

There you are.

Are you alright?

I had no choice, Tula.

She was going to destroy everything Raquella built.

- She forced my hand. - I'm pregnant.

Orry Atreides?

Did he...?

It wasn't like that.

Do you want to keep it?

I think so.

Then I will support you.

We'll raise it together.

What about the Order?

The policy to separate children from their mothers?

When I'm Mother Superior, we can do whatever we want.

I told you,

if you followed me here, I would protect you.

This is our family now, our home.

Sisters above all.

Sisters above all.

When you sent for me,

I never expected this kind of breakthrough.

There's something we're missing.

These images, why do they appear in every single viral nightmare?

What I don't get is the timing.

We believe the lesions in Kasha's brain multiplied over several days.

She survived with the virus active in her system

but at the Landsraad, the victims died quickly

in the soldier's presence, within minutes.

Kasha was always exceptional.

She was a master of Prana-Bindu.

And with her history,

her family was slaughtered

by the Butlerians when she was only a child.

I remember she once told me that she had this unique ability

to live in the face of fear.

Fear.

That's what it's feeding off of, this virus.

It begins a chain reaction, body attacks itself.

It's a bioweapon.

The question is,

who would've done this to Desmond Hart?

What do you mean?

Surely a soldier didn't bioengineer such a weapon.

It's far more likely he's the virus's first victim.

We should help him.

Well, the good news is it's a physical contagion.

That means we can transmute it, like Raquella did.

We could produce an antiviral.

Altering molecules that already lie within us.

We could generate a cure.

It's the same process Raquella used on the Rossak poison.

Only our target is different.

I'll do that.

I have the nightmares. I've been exposed.

Mother Tula,

this will be a dangerous procedure.

With my medical training, I am

uniquely qualified to take on the task.

I've had the nightmare too.

I can do it.

Go slowly.

The first stage is to isolate the foreign agents.

Starting the transmutation.

Good. It's working.

There's something wrong. It's adapting too fast.

You've triggered an active response.

The virus is no longer dormant.

Focus on your training.

Adapt your responses.

Good.

Your cells are transmuting it. Good.

Good, Nazir. It's working.

Nazir, be careful.

It's replicating again.

It's coming back stronger.

I see it! The monster of Arrakis!

Eyes.

- I see them. - Whose eyes?

They're watching him.

- They're watching... - Who is watching?

I can fight it, I can--

I can't! It's not human!

The more I fight...

How long has the Sisterhood been collaborating with the insurgents?

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

You're tellin' me that you didn't realize that

Valya Harkonnen and her Order

were running your sham of a rebellion this whole time?

I never thought I'd see an Atreides doin' a Harkonnen's dirty work.

My father used to tell me a bedtime story,

same one every night

about a monster who lived among his people when he was a boy.

And then one day, on a hunt

turned against them and slaughtered them all.

He made sure I knew never to trust a Harkonnen.

Then avenge your family name.

Testify at the Landsraad.

No, I've got no love for the Sisterhood or the Harkonnens.

But I hate you

and everything your emperor stands for.

I knew you couldn't stay away.

- But to attempt to free him? - Mother, what are you doing here?

- He tried to kill us. - He couldn't go through with it.

You foolish, lovesick girl.

That traitor will say anything.

It's the truth. And he is not wrong.

Father has lost his way, you must see it.

You once said you wanted me to come to you.

I am here now.

I am asking for your help.

What would you have me do?

Let him go. Send him off planet.

I never need to see him again. Just spare his life.

I wish you had come to me sooner.

What are you doing?

I wanted to teach you about power.

So, let this be a lesson.

I'm going to miss this.

Now that Constantine has gone to be with his fleet,

there's no reason for me to remain.

So that was your only reason for coming here?

- Not the only one. - No, stay. Stay.

I have business in Zimia. Not all of us can stay in bed all day.

No, stay here,

on Salusa.

I can find a place for you at the palace. You can stay as long as you wish.

I can't. There were reasons I left.

Natalya knows about us.

I think she'd be relieved to end the charade.

I'm tired of being patient.

You tell Mother Superior I want to speak with her.

- Your Majesty. - What is it?

I have news about your daughter.

What about my daughter?

Arrested? Princess Ynez?

Attempting to free the Swordmaster.

The Atreides.

We have to act quickly.

Every moment she's in that cell puts her at risk.

A risk we can exploit.

Javicco asked me to bring you a message.

- He wants to see you. - No.

Javicco Corrino's reign is over.

Your plan is working, Valya.

My imprint still holds. He wants to give me Natalya's mantle.

Don't be naive.

He can't divorce without damaging the coalition.

It would put the whole Imperium on a course to war.

- Then I'll get him to release Nez. - No.

No more waiting.

Corrino has forfeited his right to live out his reign in peace.

Sister Theodosia,

we are going to free the Princess,

get her to safety outside the city until her coronation can be assured.

I'm ready, Mother Superior.

There is something that we are not seeing.

Some piece on the board, just out of view.

It's time to change tactics.

He's the father of my son.

I'm sorry, but you knew this day might come.

Is this what I think it is?

It's Raquella's great work.

This is the breeding program?

It's a thinking machine.

This is dangerous, Valya.

In responsible hands, any tool can be used for the betterment of humanity.

Our entire race nearly died fighting machines.

Anirul's quarantined from all other technology.

It processes only the problems we feed it.

The mind can't be controlled forever, artificial or not.
