Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The language of salvation becomes an order to wage war. Paul’s victory is inseparable from the catastrophe his visions have led him to fear.

Spoilers for Dune: Part TwoShow the scene
At the end of Dune: Part Two, Paul gives this order after learning that the Great Houses refuse to recognise his ascendancy. Stilgar and the Fremen prepare to take the conflict beyond Arrakis. The screenplay confirms “Lead,” rather than the “Send” used in some retellings of the ending.
