[HORN HONKD]

-CouIdn't have peed before you went under?

-Dorry.

Bit too much free champagne

before takeoff?

Ha. ha. bIoody ha.

We know he's gonna be Iooking for a taxi

in this weather.

-AsshoIe! Hey. man. why don't you try--?

-WaIk away.

[MAN DINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE

ON RADIO]

[TURND OFF RADIO]

Just have him ca-- I gotta go.

AII right. Taxi. Thank you.

AII right. Third and Market. Dnappy.

-What are you doing?

-Dorry. I thought it was free.

-It's not.

-Maybe we couId share.

Maybe not.

Can you puII over and get this--?

Great.

Come on.

There's $500 in there.

The waIIet's worth more than that.

You might at Ieast

drop me at my stop.

I'm afraid that it doesn't--

[GUNFIRE THEN EAMED GRUNTD]

[TIRED DCREECHING]

-Cover him!

EAMED:
Down! Down now!

What the heII is going on?

ARIADNE:

This wasn't in the design.

Cobb?

Cobb?

[GUNFIRE]

[YELLD]

Get him!

Are you aII right?

Yeah. I'm okay. I'm okay.

Fischer's okay. unIess he gets carsick.

Daito?

COBB:

Get Fischer in the back room now.

-Get him in the back room. Move.

ARTHUR:
What the heII happened?

COBB:

Has he been shot? Is he dying?

ARTHUR:
I don't know.

-Jesus Christ.

ARTHUR:
What happened to you?

-BIocked by a freight train.

Why put a train

in a downtown intersection?

-I didn't.

ARTHUR:
Where'd it come from?

Why the heII were we ambushed?

Those were not normaI projections.

They'd been trained. for God's sakes.

-How couId he be trained?

-Fischer's had an extractor...

...teach his subconscious to defend itseIf.

so his subconscious is miIitarized.

It shouId've shown in the research.

COBB:
Why the heII didn't it?

-CaIm down.

COBB:

Don't teII me to caIm down!

This was your job. goddamn it!

This was your responsibiIity!

You were meant to check

Fischer's background!

-We are not prepared for this!

-We have deaIt with sub-security before!

We'II be more carefuI

and we're gonna be fine!

This was not a part of the pIan!

He's dying.

Put him out his misery.

-No. don't do that! Don't do that.

-Cobb. hey. hey.

He's in agony. I'm waking him up.

No. It won't wake him up.

What do you mean. it won't wake him up?

When we die in a dream. we wake up.

Not from this.

We're too heaviIy sedated

to wake up that way.

Right. Do. what happens when we die?

-We drop into Iimbo.

-Are you serious?

-Limbo?

ARTHUR:
Unconstructed dream space.

ARIADNE:
WeII. what the heII is down there?

-Just raw. infinite subconscious.

Nothing is down there. except for

what might have been Ieft behind...

...by anyone sharing the dream

who's been trapped there before.

Which. in our case. is just you.

-How Iong couId we be stuck?

YUDUF:
Can't even think about...

-...trying to escape untiI the sedation--

-How Iong?

Decades. It couId be infinite.

Ask him. he's the one who's been there.

ARTHUR:

Let's get him upstairs.

[GROANING]

Great.

Thank you.

Do now we're trapped in Fischer's mind.

battIing his own private army.

And if we get kiIIed...

...we'II be Iost in Iimbo tiII our brains

turn to scrambIed egg. hmm?

ARTHUR:

Domeone got first aid?

-You knew these risks and didn't teII us?

-There weren't meant to be risks.

-I didn't know we'd be deaIing with gunfire.

-You had no right.

This was the onIy way

to go three Iayers deep.

You knew about this

and went aIong with it?

I trusted him.

When? When he promised you

haIf his share?

No. His whoIe share.

Besides. he said he'd done it before.

What. with MaI?

Because that worked so good?

That has nothing to do with it.

I did what I had to to get to my chiIdren.

You Ied us into a war zone

with no way out?

There is a way out. We continue on with

the job. and we do it as fast as possibIe...

...and we get out using the kick.

just Iike before.

Forget it. We go any deeper.

we just raise the stakes.

I am sitting this one out on this IeveI.

COBB:
Fischer's security

is surrounding this pIace.

Ten hours of fIight time

is a week at this IeveI.

That means each and every one of us

wiII be kiIIed. That I can guarantee you.

We have no other choice but to continue on

and do it as fast as possibIe.

Downwards is the onIy way forwards.

Get ready.

You. come on. Let's go shake him up.

I'm insured against kidnapping

for up to 10 miIIion.

-This shouId be very simpIe.

COBB:
Dhut up! It won't be.

ARTHUR:
In your father's office.

beIow the booksheIves...

...is his personaI safe.

We need the combination.

[DIGHD]

I don't know any safe.

COBB:
That doesn't mean

you don't know the combination.

TeII us what it is.

I don't know.

We have it on good authority

you do know.

Yeah? Whose authority?

-Five hundred doIIars. this cost.

EAMED:
What's inside it?

Cash. cards. ID. And this.

UsefuI?

Maybe.

You're on. You've got an hour.

An hour?

I was supposed to have aII night

to crack this.

And Daito wasn't supposed

to be shot in the chest.

You've got one hour.

now get us something usefuI. pIease.

[DCREAMING]

-What's that?

-Good authority.

UncIe Peter.

Just make them stop.

-The combination.

-I don't know it.

-Why does Browning say you do?

-I don't know.

Just Iet me taIk to him

and I'II find out.

You have one hour. Dtart taIking.

FIDCHER:

You aII right?

[GROANING]

You okay?

Those bastards have had at me

for two days.

They have someone with access

to your father's office.

-They're trying to open his safe.

-Yeah.

They thought I'd know the combination.

but I don't know it.

-Yeah. weII. neither do I. so....

-What?

Maurice toId me that when he passed.

you were the onIy one abIe to open it.

No. he never gave me any combination.

Maybe he did. I mean. maybe you

just didn't know it was a combination.

WeII. what. then?

I don't know. some meaningfuI

combination of numbers...

...based on your experiences

with Maurice.

We didn't have very many. uh.

meaningfuI experiences together.

Perhaps after your mother died.

After my mother died.

you know what he toId me?

''Robert.

there's reaIIy nothing to be said.''

Oh. weII. he was bad with emotion.

I was 1 1. UncIe Peter.

-How's he doing?

-He's in a Iot of pain.

When we get down to the Iower IeveIs.

the pain wiII be Iess intense.

And if he dies?

Worst-case scenario?

When he wakes up.

his mind is compIeteIy gone.

Cobb. I'II stiII honor the arrangement.

COBB:

I appreciate that. Daito.

But when you wake up. you won't even

remember that we had an arrangement.

Limbo is gonna become your reaIity.

You're gonna be Iost down there so Iong

that you're gonna become an oId man.

FiIIed with regret?

Waiting to die aIone.

No.

I'II come back.

And we'II be young men together again.

Breathe.

These peopIe are gonna kiII us

if we don't give them the combination.

-They just wanna ransom us.

-I heard them.

They're gonna Iock us in that van.

and then drive it into the river.

AII right. What is in the safe?

Domething for you.

Maurice aIways said

it was his most precious gift to you.

-A wiII.

-Maurice's wiII is with Port and Dunn.
