Are you here to kill me?
I know what this is.
I've seen one before.
It belonged to a man I met
A man possessed of
COBB: What is the
A bacteria? A virus?
An intestinal worm?
What Mr. Cobb
An idea.
Resilient. Highly contagious.
Once an idea has taken hold of the
An idea that is fully formed
Right in there somewhere.
For someone like you to steal?
Yes. In the dream state
and that makes your
It's called extraction.
Mr. Saito
from even the most
How can you do that?
Because I am the
I know how to search your mind
And I can teach them to you
your defense is never down.
Look
I need to know my way around
better than your therapist
If this is a dream
I need to know
In order for this all to work
Enjoy your evening
He knows.
What's going on up there?
Saito knows. He's
Doesn't matter. I can
The information is in the safe.
He looked right at it
What's she doing here?
Just head back to the room.
Okay
If I jumped
With a clean dive
Mal
I thought you might
COBB: You know that I am.
But I can't trust you anymore.
So what?
MAL: Looks like Arthur's taste.
Actually
Please
MAL: Tell me...
do the children miss me?
You can't imagine.
What are you doing?
Just getting some fresh air.
Stay where you are
Goddamn it.
SAITO: Turn around.
The gun
Please.
Now the envelope
Did she tell you? Or
That you're here to steal from
I want to know the
There's no use threatening
Thatdepends on what
Killing him would
But pain...
Pain is in the mind.
And judging by the decor
- What are you doing? It's too soon.
I'm gonna try to keep Saito under a
He was close. Very close.
Stop him!
This isn't gonna
He won't wake.
- Give him the kick.
Dunk him.
COBB: He's out.
You came prepared?
Not even my head of security knows
It's difficult for a man of your position
particularly where there's
- She would never...
- With a dilemma.
- You got what you came for.
You left out a key piece
You held something back because
- Question is
- An audition for what?
We extracted every bit of
But your deception was obvious.
- So leave me and go.
That Corporation that hired
We won't last two days.
Cobb?
Looks like I'm gonna have
Tell us what you know!
SAITO: I've always
It's stained and frayed
But very definitely
Right now...
I'm lying on polyester.
Which means I'm not lying
You have lived up to
I'm still dreaming.
- How'd it go?
Dream within a
But in my dream
Yes
We're not in your dream.
We're in mine.
Asshole. How do you
- It wasn't my fault.
I didn't know he was
That's enough.
You. What the hell was all that?
- I have it under control.
We don't have time for
ARTHUR: He's not gonna
Yeah
Listen. Every man for himself.
Yes
PHILLIPA: Hi
Hey
PHILLIPA: Good.
Okay? Who's just
JAMES: Yeah. When are
Well
JAMES: Why?
Look
PHILLIPA: Grandma says
COBB: Phillipa
Put Grandma on the
PHILLIPA: She's
Well
JAMES: Daddy?
Yeah
JAMES: Is Mommy with you?
James
Mommy's not here anymore.
JAMES: Where?
WOMAN: That's enough
Listen
And you be good
- Our ride's on the roof.
Hey
Yeah. Yeah
Well
Look
It's getting worse
One apology's all
- Where's Nash?
We were supposed to deliver
to Cobol Engineering
By now
- Where you gonna go?
I can lie low there
Stateside.
Send my regards.
He sold you out. Thought to
So I offer you the satisfaction.
It's not the way I
- What will you do with him?
But I can't speak for
- What do you want from us?
- Is it possible?
If you can steal an idea
why can't you plant
Okay
I say
Elephants.
Right. But it's not your idea
The subject's mind can always
- True inspiration's impossible to fake.
- Can you do it?
Because I can find my own
Then you do have a choice.
Then I choose to leave
Tell the crew where
Hey
How would you like to go home?
To America. To your children.
You can't fix that. No one can.
- Just like inception.
- How complex is the idea?
No idea is simple when you need
My main competitor is
His son will soon inherit
I need him to decide to
- Cobb
If I were to do this
I'd need a guarantee.
- How do I know you can deliver?
Butlcan.
So do you want to
or become an old
waiting to die alone?
Assemble your team
Look
This can't be done.
Yes
You don't know that.
I've done it before.
Who'd you do it to?
Why are we going to Paris?
We're gonna need
COBB: You never did
No space to think in
Is it safe for you to be here?
Extradition between France
is a bureaucratic
I think they might find a way
Look
It'll take more than the
to convince those children
I'm just doing what I know.
I never taught
No
But after what happened...
there weren't a whole lot of
What are you doing here
I think I found a way home.
It's a job for some very
People who I believe can
But I need your help.
You're here to corrupt one
You know what I'm offering.
- Money.
You remember.
It's the chance to build
things that never existed...
things that couldn't
So you want me to let someone
They don't actually
They just design the levels and
Design it yourself.
Mal won't let me.
Come back to reality
- Please.
Those kids
they're waiting for their father to
And this job
I would not be standing
I need an architect
I've got somebody better.
Ariadne?
I'd like you to meet Mr. Cobb.
Pleased to meet you.
If you have a few moments
A work placement?
Not exactly.
I have a test for you.
You're not gonna

- Why?
You have two minutes to design a

Again.
Stop.
You're gonna have
That's more like it.
COBB: They say we only use a
Now
When we're asleep
Such as?
Imagine you're designing a building.
But sometimes
Yeah
Genuine inspiration
Now
We create and perceive
And our mind does this so well that
That allows us to get right
- How?
Now
You create the
We bring the subject into that dream
How could I ever acquire enough detail
Well
It's only when we wake up that we
Let me ask you a question.
You never really remember the
You always wind up right in
I guess
So how did we end up here?
Well
Think about it
Where are you right now?
We're dreaming?
You're in the middle of
This is your first lesson in
If it's just a dream
COBB: Because it's
And a face full of glass hurts like
ARTHUR: That's why the
It was a training program for Soldiers
and then wake up.
ARIADNE: How did
COBB: Well
Why don't you give us
Five minutes? What...? We were
In a dream
therefore time seems
Five minutes in the real world
Why don't you see what you
COBB: You've got the
Almost everything
ARIADNE: Who are the people?
- Yours?
Remember
I am the subject.
You can literally talk
That's one of the ways we
How else do you do it?
By creating something
The mind automatically fills it
- You understand?
Well...
I guess I thought that the dream
but it's more
My question is what happens when you
It's something
Yes
ARIADNE: Why are
Because my subconscious feels
The more you change things
Converge?
They sense the foreign
They attack
- What
Justyou.
This is great
Jeez
It's my subconscious.
Very impressive.
I know this bridge.
Yeah
Never re-create places from your
You draw from
Only use details. A streetlamp or
- Why not?
is the easiest way to lose your grasp
- Is that what happened to you?
This has nothing to do
That why you need me
Hey
- Cobb! Cobb!
- Let me go! Let me go!
- Mal!
- Wake me up! Wake me up!
- Mal
Hey
- Hey.
There was still
You can't wake up from
- She'll need a totem.
A totem
That's some subconscious
She's a real charmer.
- I see you met Mrs. Cobb.
Yeah. So a totem. You need a
Something you can have on
ARIADNE: Like a coin?
It needs to be more unique
No
See
That way
you know beyond a doubt that
I don't know if you can't see what's
but Cobb has some serious problems
And I'm not about to just open
She'll be back. I've never seen
Reality's not gonna be enough for
When she comes back
- Where are you gonna be?
Eames? No
It's a necessary risk.
- Well
We need a forger.
Rub them together all you
You never know.
COBB: I'm gonna get you a drink.
You're buying.
- Your spelling hasn't improved.
How's your handwriting?
- It's versatile.
Thank you very much.
Incepüon.
Now
No
Interesting. Because Arthur
Arthur. You still working
He is good at
He's the best
Not like you.
Listen
Let me ask you something.
We tried it. We got the idea
- You didn't plant it deep enough?
You need the simplest
in order for it to grow naturally in
So
We need the heir of a major Corporation
Right there you have
and anti-monopolistic
But all of that
It's really at the mercy of your
What you have to do is
Which is what?
The relationship
- Do you have a chemist?
Right. Okay
He
Why don't you take me there?
Once you've lost your
COBB: Cobol Engineering.
That price on my head
Don't remember. Let's
Run interference. I'll meet you downstairs
- Back here?
All right.
Freddy. Freddy Simmonds.
My God
No
Not dreaming now
MAN: Get him!
There!
One café.
Shh.
One café.

- What are you doing in Mombasa?
So this is your
Different tail.
Cobb said you'd be back.
- I tried not to come
It's just...

Shall we take a look at some
ARTHUR: You're gonna

ARIADNE: What kind of tricks?
In a dream
That lets you create closed
The infinite staircase.
See?
Paradox.
So a closed loop like that...
will help you disguise the
But how big do these
It could be anything from the
They have to be complicated enough
- A maze?
And the better the maze...
Then the longer we have
Exactly.
- My subconscious seems polite enough.
No one likes to feel someone
Cobb can't build
I don't know if he
He thinks it's Safer if he
Why?
He won't tell me.
- His ex-wife?
- They're still together?
No
What you see in there is
What was she like in real life?
She was lovely.
YUSUF: You are seeking a chemist?
To formulate
And to go into
No
Well
- Which are?
A dream within a

Not possible. That many dreams
It is possible. You just

SAITO: Six.
The only way to know you've

Perhaps you will
After you.
EAMES: Ten. Twelve.
They come every day
You see? Very stable.
- How long do they dream for?
In dream time?
With this compound? About
- Why do they do it?
After a while
Do you still dream
- They come here every day to sleep?
They come to be woken up.
The dream has
Who are you to
Let's see what you can do.
You know how to find me.
You know what you have to do.
Sharp
SAITO: Are you
Yeah
Robert Fischer
COBB: What's your
That's not your concern.
Mr. Saito
You asked me for inception.
I do hope you understand
Now
This idea will define him.
It may come to change...
Well
We're the last company standing
And we can no longer compete.
Soon
In effect
The world needs Robert
EAMES: That's where we come in.
How is Robert Fischer's
Rumor is the relationship
Well
Can you get me access

It should be possible
References are something of

Not sure that's necessary.
No

I don't want to bother

Never
Leave that.

So you're learning?
An elegant solution for

It was Mal's
This one was hers. She would spin it
Just spin and spin.
Arthur told me she passed away.
How are the mazes coming along?
Each level relates to the part
that we are trying to access.
So I'm making the bottom level a

No
Why is that so important?
In case one of us

You mean in case
You can't keep her out
- Right.
because if you know the
Well
- Cobb
You've gotta warn them
No one said it's getting worse.
I need to get home. That's
Why can't you go home?
Because they think I killed her.

For not asking whether I did.

It seemed neater.
Well
Ariadne? Terrific
MAL: You know how to find me.
You know what you have to do.
You remember when you
Of course I do.
You said you had a dream.
That we'd grow old together.
And we can.
COBB: You shouldn't be here.
Just wanted to see what kind of tests
- This has nothing to do with you.
- You've asked me to share dreams with you.
ARIADNE: Why do
It's the only way
Why is it so important to dream?
In my dreams
These aren't just dreams.
These are memories. And
I know I did.
You're trying to keep her
You don't understand.
They're memories
Well
Listen
ARIADNE: This is your house?
Mine and Mal's
Where is she?
She's already gone.
That's my son
He's digging for
That's Phillipa.
I thought about
so they'd turn and
those beautiful faces of
MAN: Right now or never
COBB: Then I start to panic.
I realize I'm gonna
that I need to see
WOMAN: James!
COBB: But the moment's past.
And whatever I do
As I'm about to
they run away.
If I'm ever gonna see their faces
The real world.
What are you doing here?
My name is...
I know who you are.
I'm just trying to understand.
How could you understand?
Do you know what
To be half of a whole?
No.
I'll tell you a riddle.
You're waiting for a train.
A train that will
You know where you
but you don't know for sure.
But it doesn't matter.
How can it not matter to you
COBB: Because
MAL: How could you bring her here
This is a hotel suite where we
What happened here?
You promised! You
Please
You said we'd be together!
I'll come back
Do you think you can just build a
Do you really think that
SAITO: It's time.
Maurice Fischerjust
- When's the funeral?
Robert should accompany the body
All right.
- Cobb
The team needs someone who
And it doesn't have to be me...
but then you have to
Get us another
COBB: If I get on this plane and
when we land
Complete the job en route...
I make one phone
you have no trouble

Thank you.
Excuse me

Um...
Thank you.
You know
but you wouldn't happen to be related
Yes
He was my father.
Well
- Here you go.
COBB: Hey.
To your father.
May he rest in peace?
- Couldn't have peed before you went under?
Bit too much free
Ha
We know he's gonna be
- Asshole! Hey
Just have him ca... I gotta go.
All right. Taxi. Thank you.
All right
- What are you doing?
- It's not.
Maybe not. Can you
Great.
Come on.
There's $500 in there. The
You might at least
I'm afraid that it doesn't...
- Cover him!
What the hell is going on?
ARIADNE: This
Cobb?
Get him!
Are you all right?
Yeah
Fischer's okay
Saüo?
COBB: Get Fischer
- Get him in the back room. Move.
COBB: Has he been
ARTHUR: I don't know.
ARTHUR: What happened to you?
Why put a train in a
- I didn't.
Why the hell were we ambushed?
Those were not normal projections.
- How could he be trained?
teach his subconscious to defend
It should've shown
COBB: Why the hell didn't it?
COBB: Don't tell
This was your job
You were meant to check
- We are not prepared for this!
We'll be more careful
This was not a part
Put him out his misety.
- No
He's in agony.
No. It won't wake him up.
What do you mean
Not from this.
We're too heavily sedated
Right. So
- We drop into limbo.
- Limbo?
ARIADNE: What the hell is down there?
Nothing is down there
by anyone sharing the dream
Which
- How long could we be stuck?
- ...trying to escape until the sedation...
Decades. It could be infinite. Ask
ARTHUR: Let's get him upstairs.
Great.
Thank you.
So now we're trapped in Fischer's
And if we get killed...
we'll be lost in limbo till our
ARTHUR: Someone got first aid?
- You knew these risks and didn't tell us?
I didn't know we'd be
You had no right.
This was the only way
You knew about this
I trusted him.
When? When he
No. His whole share. Besides
What
That has nothing to do with it. I did
You led us into a war
There is a way out. We continue on with the
and we get out using

Ten hours of flight time
That means each and every one of us
We have no other choice but to

ARTHUR: In your father's

I don't know any safe.
COBB: That doesn't mean
Tell us what it is.
I don't know.
We have it on good
Yeah? Whose authority?
- Five hundred dollars
Cash
Useful?
Maybe.
You're on. You've got an hour.
An hour?
I was supposed to have
And Saito wasn't supposed
You've got one hour
- What's that?
Uncle Peter.
Just make them stop.
- The combination.
- Why does Browning say you do?
Just let me talk to
You have one
FISCHER: You all right?
You okay?
Those bastards have
They have someone with
- They're trying to open his safe.
They thought I'd know the

Maurice told me that when he passed
No
Maybe he did. I mean
Well
I don't know
based on your
We didn't have very many
Perhaps after your mother died.
After my mother died
"Robert
Well
I was 11
- How's he doing?
When we get down to the lower
And if he dies?
Worst-case scenario?
When he wakes up
Cobb
COBB: I appreciate that
But when you wake up
Limbo is gonna
You're gonna be lost down there so
Filled with regret?
Waiting to die alone.
No.
I'll come back.
And we'll be young
Breathe.
These people are gonna kill us if
- They just wanna ransom us.
They're gonna lock us in that
All right. What is in the safe?
Something for you.
Maurice always said it was
- A will.
That's an alternate.
This would supersede
It splits up the component
It'd be the end of the
Destroying my whole inheritance?
- Why would he suggest such a thing?
He loved you
In his own way.
FISCHER: In his own way.
At the end...
he called me in to his deathbed.
He could barely speak.
But he took the trouble
He pulled me close.
And I could only make out...
one word.
"Disappointed."
When were you in limbo?
You might have the rest of the team
- But they don't know the truth.
The truth that
The truth that Mal is bursting
And the truth that
we're also going
And I'm not sure we're
We were working together.
We were exploring the concept
I kept pushing things.
I wanted to go deeper and
I just didn't understand the concept that
that we could get
that when we wound up on the
we lost sight of what was real.
We created. We built
We did that for years.
We built our own world.
How long were you stuck there?
Something like 50 years.
Jesus.
How could you stand it?
It wasn't so bad at
The problem was knowing
Eventually
And what about for her?
She had looked something
A truth that she had once
Limbo became her reality.
What happened when you woke up?
Well
to become old souls thrown
I knew something was wrong
Eventually
She was possessed by an idea.
This one very simple idea
That our world wasn't real.
That she needed to wake
that in order to
we had to kill ourselves.
- What about your children?
That our real children were
MAL: I'm their mother!
I can tell the difference.
If this is my dream
You don't know you're dreaming!
COBB: She was certain
No matter how much I begged
She wanted to do it
She loved me too much
- Sweetheart
Just... Just step back inside. All right?
No. I'm going to jump
No
Now
If you jump
Now
Come on. Step back inside
We've talked enough.
- Mal.
- ...or I'll jump right now.
We're gonna talk about this.
All right?
- I'm asking you to take a leap of faith.
No
Take a second
Think about James.
Think about Phillipa
If I go without you
- What does that mean?
explaining how I'm
How you've
- Why did you do this?
Why did...? Why
I've freed you from the guilt
We're going home
No
You're waiting for a train.
- Mal
James and Phillipa
You know where you hope this train
- Mal
Sweetheart! Look at me! Mal
Jesus Christ!
She had herself declared sane
It made it impossible for me to try
So I ran.
MAN: Right now
WOMAN: James! Phillipa!
All right
I left my children behind and I've been
Your guilt defines her.
But you are not responsible
And if we are gonna
you have to forgive yourself
But you don't have
- No
Because they have no idea the risk
We have to move.
Time's up.
All right. I don't know
- Not consciously
I got somebody in your father's office
Give me the first six numbers
- I have no idea.
I said
Five
You'll have to do
All right. Bag them.
FISCHER: We're worth more
What'd you get?
Relationship with his father
This helps us how?
The stronger the issues
- How are we gonna reconcile them?
Work faster. The projections
We gotta break out of here
Damn it.
You mustn't be afraid to
We need to shift his animosity
Destroy his one
No
whilst exposing his
We should charge Fischer a
His security is gonna get
- I think we run with Mr. Charles.
EAMES: Who's Mr. Charles?
The second we get into that hotel
We run with Mr. Charles
- You've done it before?
The subject realized he was dreaming
Excellent. But you
- I need some kind of distraction.
How about a lovely lady
Listen to me. You
Everything down there is
Don't jump too soon. We only got
I'll play the music to let you know
- You ready?
Sweet dreams.
WOMAN: Am I boring you?
I was telling you my story. I
Um
There goes Mr. Charles.
Mr. Fischer
Pleasure to see you again.
- And you must be?
In case you get bored.
Must've blown you off.
That is
Funny way to make friends
Goddamn it. The wallet
About $500
Don't worry about it. My people
Who or what is Mr. Charles?
It's a gambit designed to turn
ARIADNE: And why
It involves telling the
which involves attracting

So now you've noticed
Cobb spends doing

You look a bit perkier.
Very amusing

No
That's Yusuf's driving.

But that's not

- You work for the hotel?
I specialize in a very
Subconscious security.
You're talking about dreams?
Are you talking

Mr. Fischer

You're not safe here.
They're coming for you.
Strange weather
You feel that?
What's happening?
Cobb's drawing Fischer's attention
which is making his
For me. Quick

We should probably
COBB: You feel that? You've actually
Pay attention to the strangeness
None of this is real.
Now
is to try and remember how you
Yeah
COBB: No
Accept the fact that you're in a dream
- You're not real?
No. I'm a projection
I was sent here to
that extractors tried to
And I believe that's what's
Yeah.
Okay-
Can you get me out of here?
Right away. Follow me.
Hold on a second.
Jesus Christ! What
These men were sent
If you want my help
I need you to work
If this is a dream
I wouldn't do that if I
I believe they have you sedated

You may go into a further dream state.
You remember the training.
Remember what I said to you.
Give me the gun.
- This room should be directly below 528?
Think
What do you remember
There was
There was rain.
Uncle Peter.
- My God
- They had us in the back of a van.
You're in the back
It had something
Something to do with a safe.
God
It's like trying to remember a
Listen
You and Browning have
because they're trying to
I need you to focus and try
What is it
A combination. They demanded
They're trying to extract a
It can represent anything.
We should try hotel rooms.
Try and remember for
Five.
Five
That's good. We can
Yep.
- So do you use a timer?
While you're all asleep in
- Well
And then when the van hits the barrier
So we get a nice
If it's too soon
But if it's too late
- Well
- Can't drop you without gravity.
They're with me. Go on.
Mr. Charles.
- Do you know what that is
They were trying
- I'm already under.
What do you mean
Hey. I see you've changed.
I'm sorry?
I'm sorry. I mistook
Good-looking fellow
No
Let's follow him and
- Why?

Shh.
- Uncle Peter.
Well
And you saw them torture him?
The kidnappers
Robert.
You're trying to get that safe
Fischer Morrow has been my
I'm not gonna throw
I couldn't let you rise to
- What taunt?
That's his last insult.
A challenge for you to
by telling you you're not
- What
But he's wrong.
You can build a better
Mr. Fischer? He's lying.
- How do you know?
He's hiding something
I need you to do the same thing to
We'll enter his subconscious and find
All right.
- COBB: He's out.
Whose subconscious
We're going into Fischer's.
I told him it was Browning's
He's gonna help us break
COBB: That's right.
Security's gonna
And I will lead them
- Just be back before the kick.
ARTHUR: You good?
Hey. You ready?
Yes
ARIADNE: Cobb?
Cobb? What's down there?
Hopefully
I mean
Did you see that?
COBB: Eames
I need you to draw the security
- Who guides Fischer in?
If I know the route
- I designed the place.
SAITO: I could do it.
All right. Brief him on
- Fischer
You keep this live. I'll be
The windows on that upper floor are big
FISCHER: You're not coming in?
In order to find out the
you're gonna need to break
SAITO: Come on
- Sound the alarm! Sound the alarm!
Move!
Go!
YUSUP Sod it.
I hope you're ready.
No
Cobb
I first noticed it about 20 minutes
Yeah
So
We move fast.
Yusuf's 10 seconds
Which gives Arthur
- Hey!
- Which gives us what?
- Can they make that route in an hour?
Then they need a new
It's designed as a labyrinth.
There must be access routes
Eames?
Did Eames add any features?
I don't think I should tell you.
We don't have time for
He added an air-duct system...
- ...that can cut through the maze.
Paradox.
ARIADNE: What was that?
Cobb! Cobb
Yeah
FISCHER: Man.
Couldn't someone have
EAMES: Well
We finish the job
- What next kick?
WOMAN: If you'd like to make a
If you need help
How do I drop
Arthur has a couple minutes
You okay?
SOLDIER: Run! Turn around!
Go
There's something wrong.
They're heading your way
Just buy us more
- Come on!
SOLDIER: Come on! Move!
All right.
Okay. That's the antechamber
- Does the strong room have windows?
Let's hope Fischer likes
- Are those projections his subconscious?
- Are you destroying parts of his mind?
- We're here.
There's an entire
I'm in.
SOLDIER: There he is.
- There's someone in there.
Come on. Come
ARIADNE: Cobb.
No
How do you know that?
She is just a projection.
Hello.
ARIADNE: Eames! Eames
EAMES: What happened?
I couldn't shoot her.
There's no use in reviving him. His
It's all over.
So that's it
We're done. I'm sorry.
It's not me that doesn't
Shame. I wanted to know what was
Let's set the charges.
No
- We have to follow Fischer down there.
No
And we will find him.
Okay
We can give him his
Look
As soon as the music ends
and we all ride the
It's worth a shot
Saito will never
- Cobb
If you are not back before the
She's right. She's
Can I trust you to do what
Mal's gonna be down there.
I know where to find
- How do you know?
She wants me back
All right?
- This is your world?
And this is where she'll be.
Come on.
Saito. Saito.
I need you to take care of Fischer
No room for tourists
Don't be silly.
ARIADNE: You built all
We built for years.
Then we started
This way.
COBB: This was our neighborhood.
Places from our past.
That was our first apartment.
Then we moved to
After Mal became pregnant
You reconstructed all
Like I told you
ARIADNE: What is that?
That's the house Mal grew up in.
- Well
Come on.
We both wanted to live in a house
In the real world
How are we gonna
We're gonna have to come
What?
I'm gonna improvise.
Listen
An idea is like
Highly contagious.
And the smallest seed
It can grow to define...
or destroy you.
MAL: The smallest idea
"Your world is not real."
Simple little thought
So certain of your
Do you think he is?
Or do you think
COBB: I know what's real
No creeping doubts?
Not feeling persecuted
Chased around the globe...
by anonymous corporations
the way the projections
Admit it.
You don't believe in
So choose.
Choose to be here. Choose me.
You know what I have to do.
I have to get back to our
Because you left us.
- You're wrong.
You're confused.
Our children are here.
And you'd like to see their
Yes
Up above?
Listen to yourself.
Watch.
James? Phillipa?
Don't do this
You keep telling yourself
- No
What if I'm what's real?
You keep telling
But what do you believe?
What do you feel?
Guilt.
I feel guilt
And no matter what I do
no matter how confused
reminding me of the truth.
What truth?
That the idea that caused you to
You planted the idea in my mind?
What is she talking about?
The reason I knew inception was
- I did it to my own wife.
We were lost in here.
I knew we needed to escape
She had looked something
A truth that she had once
And she couldn't break free.
So I decided to search for it.
I went deep into the recess of her
And I broke in...
And I planted an idea.
A simple little idea that
That her world wasn't real.
That death was the only escape.
You're waiting for a train.
A train that'll
You know where you
but you can't know for sure.
Yet it doesn't matter.
- Now
COBB: But I never knew that that idea
That even after she woke...
That even after you
that you'd continue to
That death was the only escape.
Mal
- You infected my mind.
You betrayed me.
But you can make amends.
We can still be
in the world we built together.
Cobb
You can't have him.
- If I stay here
Fischer is on the porch.
- Go check he's alive
Go check he's
He's here! And it's time
COBB: You take Fischer with you
I'm not. Saito's dead by now.
That means he's down here
I can't stay with her anymore
I'm the only thing you
No.
I wish.
I wish more than
I can't imagine you
all your perfection
- You all right?
Look at you.
You're just a shade. You're
And you were the best
I'm sorry
Does this feel real?
- What are you doing?
No
In there
I was dis\.
I was dis... Disa...
- I know
I know you were disappointed...
I couldn't be you.
No.
No
I was disappointed...
that you tried.
What?
Come on
Dad?
That's the kick
Don't lose yourself! Find
I will!
You remember when you
Yes.
You said you dreamt that
But we did.
We did. You don't remember?
I miss you more
but we had our time together.
And I have to let you go.
I have to let you go.
I'm sorry
You know
not just to live for him.
That's what I'm
What happened?
- Cobb stayed.
No
He'll be lost.
No
SAITO: Have you come to kill me?
I'm waiting for someone.
COBB: Someone from a
Cobb?
Impossible.
We were young men together.
I'm an old man.
Filled with regret.
Waiting to die alone.
I've come back for you.
To remind you of something.
Something you once knew.
That this world is not real.
To convince me to
To take a leap of faith
Come back...
so we can be young
Come back with me.
Come back.
FLIGHT ATTENDANT:
We'll be landing in Los
Do you need immigration forms?
Thank you.
Hot towel

MILES: James? Phillipa?
Look who's here.
Hey-
