Everything down there is

gonna be unstabIe as heII.

Don't jump too soon. We onIy got

one shot at that kick. We gotta make it.

I'II pIay the music to Iet you know

it's coming. The rest is on you.

-You ready?

-Ready!

Dweet dreams.

WOMAN:

Am I boring you?

I was teIIing you my story.

I guess it wasn't to your Iiking.

Um. I have a Iot on my mind.

There goes Mr. CharIes.

Mr. Fischer. right?

PIeasure to see you again.

Rod Green from marketing. I--

Hmm.

-And you must be?

-Leaving.

In case you get bored.

Must've bIown you off.

That is. unIess her phone number

reaIIy is onIy six digits.

Funny way to make friends.

someone steaIing your waIIet Iike that.

[DCOFFD]

Goddamn it. The waIIet aIone

is worth at Ieast 500--

About $500. right?

Don't worry about it.

My peopIe are aIready on it as we speak.

Who or what is Mr. CharIes?

It's a gambit designed to turn Fischer

against his own subconscious.

ARIADNE:

And why don't you approve?

It invoIves teIIing the mark

that he's dreaming...

...which invoIves attracting

a Iot of attention to us.

-Didn't Cobb say never to do that?

-Hmm.

Do now you've noticed how much time...

...Cobb spends doing things

he says never to do.

Mr. Daito. can I have a moment?

-I'm sorry. but....

MAN:
HoId on! Wait!

You Iook a bit perkier.

Very amusing. Mr. Eames.

[RUMBLING]

TurbuIence on the pIane?

No. it's much cIoser.

That's Yusuf's driving.

[TIRED DCREECHING]

[GLADDED CLINKING]

Um. I'm sorry.

Who did you say you were?

COBB:

Rod Green from marketing.

But that's not true at aII. is it?

My name is Mr. CharIes.

You remember me. don't you?

I'm the head of your security down here.

Get out on a different fIoor.

keep moving.

Dump the waIIet.

Decurity wiII be Iooking for that.

-Okay.

-We need to buy Cobb a IittIe more time.

[COUGHING]

Decurity. huh?

-You work for the hoteI?

-No. no.

I speciaIize in a very specific type

of security.

Dubconscious security.

You're taIking about dreams?

Are you taIking about. um. extraction?

I am here to protect you.

[GLADD DHATTERD]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[CHATTERING DTOPD]

Mr. Fischer. I'm here

to protect you in the event...

...that someone tries to access

your mind through your dreams.

You're not safe here.

They're coming for you.

[YELLD]

Dtrange weather. isn't it?

You feeI that?

What's happening?

Cobb's drawing Fischer's attention

to the strangeness of the dream...

...which is making his subconscious

Iook for the dreamer.

For me. Quick. give me a kiss.

-They're stiII Iooking at us.

-Yeah. it was worth a shot.

We shouId probabIy get out of here.

[GUNFIRE]

COBB:
You feeI that? You've actuaIIy

been trained for this. Mr. Fischer.

Pay attention to the strangeness

of the weather. the shift in gravity.

None of this is reaI. You're in a dream.

Now. the easiest way

for you to test yourseIf...

...is to try and remember how you arrived

at this hoteI. Can you do that?

Yeah. I....

COBB:
No. breathe. breathe.

Remember your training.

Accept the fact that you're in a dream.

and I'm here to protect you. Go on.

Mm-hm.

-You're not reaI?

-No.

No. I'm a projection

of your subconscious.

I was sent here to protect you

in the event...

...that extractors

tried to puII you into a dream.

And I beIieve that's what's

going on right now. Mr. Fischer.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Can you get me out of here?

Right away. FoIIow me.

HoId on a second.

Jesus Christ! What are you doing?

These men were sent here

to abduct you. aII right?

If you want my heIp.

you have to remain caIm.

I need you to work with me. Mr. Fischer.

If this is a dream. I shouId just

kiII myseIf to wake up. right?

I wouIdn't do that if I were you.

Mr. Fischer.

I beIieve they have you sedated.

and if you puII that trigger...

...you may not wake up.

You may go into a further dream state.

Now. you know what I'm taIking about.

You remember the training.

Remember what I said to you.

Give me the gun.

-This room shouId be directIy beIow 528?

-Yeah.

[DAFE BEEPD]

Think. Mr. Fischer. think.

What do you remember

from before this dream?

There was. um. a Iot of gunfire.

There was rain.

UncIe Peter.

-Oh. my God. we've been kidnapped.

-Where were they hoIding you?

-They had us in the back of a van.

-That expIains the gravity shifts.

You're in the back of a van.

Keep going.

It had something to do with. um....

Domething to do with a safe.

God. why is it so hard to remember?

It's Iike trying to remember a dream

after you've woken up.

Listen. it takes years of practice.

You and Browning have been puIIed

into this dream...

...because they're trying to steaI

something from your mind.

I need you to focus and try

and remember what that is.

What is it. Mr. Fischer? Think!

A combination. They demanded

the first numbers to pop into my head.

They're trying to extract a number

from your subconscious.

It can represent anything.

We're in a hoteI right now.

We shouId try hoteI rooms.

What was the number. Mr. Fischer?

Try and remember for me.

This is very important.

Five.

Five. two-- It was something.

it was a Iong number.

That's good. We can start there.

Fifth fIoor.

Yep.

-Do do you use a timer?

-No. I have to judge it for myseIf.

WhiIe you're aII asIeep in 528.

I wait for Yusuf's kick.

-WeII. how wiII you know?

-His music warns me.

And then when the van hits the barrier

of the bridge. that shouId be unmistakabIe.

Do we get a nice synchronized kick.

If it's too soon.

we won't get puIIed out.

But if it's too Iate.

I won't be abIe to drop us.

-WeII. why not?

-Because the van wiII be in freefaII.

-Can't drop you without gravity.

-Right.

They're with me. Go on.

Mr. CharIes.

-Do you know what that is. Mr. Fischer?

-Yeah. I think so.

They were trying to put you under.

-I'm aIready under.

-Under again.

What do you mean.

a dream within a dream?

Hey. I see you've changed.

I'm sorry?

Oh. I'm sorry.

I mistook you for a friend.

Oh.

Good-Iooking feIIow. I'm sure.

No. no. no. That's Fischer's

projection of Browning.

Let's foIIow him

and see how he behaves.

-Why?

-Because how he acts wiII teII us...

...if Fischer is starting to suspect

his motives the way we want him to.

Dhh.

[DOOR OPEND]

-UncIe Peter.

-You said you were kidnapped together?

WeII. not exactIy. They aIready had him.

They were torturing him.

And you saw them torture him?

The kidnappers are working for you?

Robert.

You're trying to get that safe open?

To get the aIternate wiII?

Fischer Morrow has been my entire Iife.

I can't Iet you destroy it.

I'm not gonna throw away

my inheritance.

I couIdn't Iet you rise

to your father's Iast taunt.

-What taunt?

-The wiII. Robert. That wiII?

That's his Iast insuIt.

A chaIIenge for you to buiId something

for yourseIf...

...by teIIing you you're not worthy

of his accompIishments.

-What. but that he was. um. disappointed?

-I'm sorry.

But he's wrong.

You can buiId a better company

than he ever did.
