I can Iie Iow there. maybe sniff out

a job when things quiet down. You?

Dtateside.

Dend my regards.

He soId you out. Thought to come

to me and bargain for his Iife.

Do I offer you the satisfaction.

It's not the way I deaI with things.

[HELICOPTER DTARTING]

-What wiII you do with him?

-Nothing.

But I can't speak for CoboI Engineering.

-What do you want from us?

-Inception.

-Is it possibIe?

-Of course not.

If you can steaI an idea

from someone's mind...

...why can't you pIant one there instead?

Okay. here's me pIanting

an idea in your head.

I say. ''Don't think about eIephants.''

What are you thinking about?

EIephants.

Right. But it's not your idea.

because you know I gave it to you.

The subject's mind can aIways trace

the genesis of the idea.

-True inspiration's impossibIe to fake.

-That's not true.

-Can you do it?

-Are you offering me a choice?

Because I can find my own way

to square things with CoboI.

Then you do have a choice.

Then I choose to Ieave. sir.

TeII the crew where you want to go.

Hey. Mr. Cobb.

How wouId you Iike to go home?

To America. To your chiIdren.

You can't fix that. No one can.

-Just Iike inception.

-Cobb. come on.

-How compIex is the idea?

-DimpIe enough.

No idea is simpIe when you need

to pIant it in somebody eIse's mind.

My main competitor is

an oId man in poor heaIth.

His son wiII soon inherit controI

of the corporation.

I need him to decide to break up

his father's empire.

-Cobb. we shouId waIk away from this.

-HoId on.

If I were to do this.

if I even couId do it...

...I'd need a guarantee.

-How do I know you can deIiver?

-You don't.

But I can.

Do do you want to take a Ieap of faith...

...or become an oId man.

fiIIed with regret...

...waiting to die aIone?

AssembIe your team. Mr. Cobb.

And choose your peopIe more wiseIy.

Look. I know how much

you wanna go home.

This can't be done.

Yes. it can.

Just have to go deep enough.

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 a new architect.

[BELLD TOLLING]

COBB:

You never did Iike your office. did you?

No space to think

in that broom cupboard.

Is it safe for you to be here?

Extradition between France

and the United Dtates...

...is a bureaucratic nightmare.

you know that.

I think they might find a way

to make it work in your case.

Look. I. uh. brought these for you to give

to the kids when you have a chance.

It'II take more than

the occasionaI stuffed animaI...

...to convince those chiIdren

they stiII have a father.

I'm just doing what I know.

I'm doing what you taught me.

I never taught you to be a thief.

No. you taught me to navigate

peopIe's minds.

But after what happened...

...there weren't a whoIe Iot of Iegitimate

ways for me to use that skiII.

What are you doing here. Dom?

I think I found a way home.

It's a job

for some very. very powerfuI peopIe.

PeopIe who I beIieve can fix

my charges permanentIy.

But I need your heIp.

You're here to corrupt

one of my brightest and best.

You know what I'm offering.

Let them decide for themseIves.

-Money.

-Not just money.

You remember.

It's the chance to buiId cathedraIs.

entire cities...

...things that never existed...

...things that couIdn't exist

in the reaI worId.

Do you want me to Iet someone eIse

foIIow you into your fantasy?

They don't actuaIIy come into the dream.

They just design the IeveIs

and teach them to the dreamers. That's aII.

Design it yourseIf.

MaI won't Iet me.

Come back to reaIity. Dom.

-PIease.

-ReaIity.

Those kids. your grandchiIdren...

...they're waiting for their father to come

back home. That's their reaIity.

And this job. this Iast job.

that's how I get there.

I wouId not be standing here

if I knew any other way.

I need an architect

who's as good as I was.

I've got somebody better.

Ariadne?

I'd Iike you to meet Mr. Cobb.

PIeased to meet you.

If you have a few moments. Mr. Cobb has

a job offer he'd Iike to discuss with you.

A work pIacement?

Not exactIy.

I have a test for you.

You're not gonna teII me anything first?

Before I describe the job.

I have to know you can do it.

-Why?

-It's not. strictIy speaking. IegaI.

You have two minutes to design a maze

that it takes one minute to soIve.

Dtop.

Again.

Dtop.

You're gonna have to do better than that.

That's more Iike it.

COBB:
They say we only use a fraction

of our brain's true potential.

Now, that's when we're awake.

When we're asIeep.

our mind can do aImost anything.

Duch as?

Imagine you're designing a buiIding.

You consciousIy create each aspect.

But sometimes. it feeIs Iike it's aImost

creating itseIf. if you know what I mean.

Yeah. Iike I'm discovering it.

Genuine inspiration. right?

Now. in a dream.

our mind continuousIy does this.

We create and perceive

our worId simuItaneousIy.

And our mind does this so weII

that we don't even know it's happening.

That aIIows us to get right

in the middIe of that process.

-How?

-By taking over the creating part.

Now. this is where I need you.

You create the worId of the dream.

We bring the subject into that dream.

and they fiII it with their subconscious.

How couId I ever acquire enough detaiI

to make them think that it's reaIity?

WeII. dreams. they feeI reaI

whiIe we're in them. right?

It's onIy when we wake up that we reaIize

something was actuaIIy strange.

Let me ask you a question.

You never reaIIy remember

the beginning of a dream. do you?

You aIways wind up

right in the middIe of what's going on.

I guess. yeah.

Do how did we end up here?

WeII. we just came from the. uh....

Think about it. Ariadne.

How did you get here?

Where are you right now?

We're dreaming?

You're in the middIe

of the workshop. sIeeping.

This is your first Iesson

in shared dreaming. Dtay caIm.

[CUP RATTLING]

[RUMBLING]

If it's just a dream.

then why are you--?

[''NON. JE NE REGRETTE RIEN'' PLAYING]

COBB:

Because it's never just a dream. is it?

And a face fuII of gIass hurts Iike heII.

When you're in it. it feeIs reaI.

ARTHUR:
That's why the miIitary

deveIoped dream sharing.

It was a training program for soIdiers

to shoot. stab and strangIe each other...

...and then wake up.

ARIADNE:

How did architects become invoIved?

COBB:
WeII. someone had to design

the dreams. right?

Why don't you give us

another five minutes?

Five minutes?

[MUDIC DTOPD]

What--? We were taIking

for. Iike. at Ieast an hour.

In a dream. your mind

functions more quickIy...

...therefore time seems

to feeI more sIow.

Five minutes in the reaI worId

gives you an hour in the dream.

Why don't you see what you

can get up to in five minutes?

[MACHINE HIDDING]

COBB:
You've got the basic Iayout.

Bookstore. cafe.

AImost everything eIse is here too.

ARIADNE:
Who are the peopIe?

-Projections of my subconscious.

-Yours?

-Yes.

Remember. you are the dreamer.

You buiId this worId.

I am the subject. My mind popuIates it.
