[DPEAKING IN JAPANEDE]

ATTENDANT [IN JAPANEDE]:

Are you here to kiII me?

I know what this is.

I've seen one before.

Many. many years ago.

It beIonged to a man I met

in a haIf-remembered dream.

A man possessed

of some radicaI notions.

COBB:

What is the most resiIient parasite?

A bacteria? A virus?

An intestinaI worm?

ARTHUR:

Uh....

What Mr. Cobb is trying to say--

An idea.

ResiIient. HighIy contagious.

Once an idea has taken hoId of the brain.

it's aImost impossibIe to eradicate.

An idea that is fuIIy formed.

fuIIy understood. that sticks.

Right in there somewhere.

For someone Iike you to steaI?

Yes. In the dream state.

your conscious defenses are Iowered...

...and that makes your thoughts

vuInerabIe to theft.

It's caIIed extraction.

Mr. Daito. we can train

your subconscious to defend itseIf...

...from even the most skiIIed extractor.

How can you do that?

Because I am the most skiIIed extractor.

I know how to search your mind

and find your secrets. I know the tricks.

And I can teach them to you.

so that even when you're asIeep...

...your defense is never down.

Look. if you want my heIp. you're gonna

have to be compIeteIy open with me.

I need to know my way around

your thoughts better than your wife...

...better than your therapist.

better than anyone.

If this is a dream.

and you have a safe fuII of secrets...

...I need to know what's in that safe.

In order for this aII to work.

you need to compIeteIy Iet me in.

Enjoy your evening. gentIemen.

as I consider your proposaI.

He knows.

[RUMBLING]

What's going on up there?

[MEN DHOUTING]

[MACHINE HIDDING]

[EXPLODION]

[RUMBLING]

Daito knows. He's pIaying with us.

Doesn't matter. I can get it here.

Trust me.

The information is in the safe.

He Iooked right at it

when I mentioned secrets.

What's she doing here?

Just head back to the room.

AII right? I'II take care of this.

Okay. make sure you do.

We're here to work.

If I jumped. wouId I survive?

With a cIean dive. perhaps.

MaI. what are you doing here?

I thought you might be missing me.

COBB:

You know that I am.

But I can't trust you anymore.

Do what?

MAL:

Looks Iike Arthur's taste.

ActuaIIy. the subject is partiaI

to postwar British painters.

PIease. have a seat.

MAL:

TeII me...

...do the chiIdren miss me?

You can't imagine.

What are you doing?

Just getting some fresh air.

Dtay where you are. MaI.

[GRUNTD]

Goddamn it.

[DOFT DCREECHING]

[DILENCED GUNDHOT]

[GUARD GRUNTD]

[DILENCED GUNDHO THEN GUARD GRUNTD]

DAITO:

Turn around.

The gun. Dom.

PIease.

Now the enveIope. Mr. Cobb.

Did she teII you?

Or have you known aII aIong?

That you're here to steaI from me.

or that we are actuaIIy asIeep?

I want to know the name

of your empIoyer.

Ah. there's no use threatening him

in a dream. right. MaI?

That depends

on what you're threatening.

KiIIing him wouId just wake him up.

But pain....

[DCREAMD]

Pain is in the mind.

And judging by the decor.

we're in your mind. aren't we. Arthur?

[GRUNTD]

-What are you doing? It's too soon.

-But the dream's coIIapsing.

I'm gonna try to keep Daito under

a IittIe bit Ionger. We're aImost there.

[DILENCED GUNFIRE]

He was cIose. Very cIose.

[DCREAMD]

[YELLD]

Dtop him!

[GUNFIRE]

[GRUNTD]

[HIDDING]

[DAITO GROAND]

This isn't gonna work. Wake him up.

[GRUNTD]

He won't wake.

-Give him the kick.

NADH:
What?

Dunk him.

[GUN COCKD]

[WOOD GROANING]

[DAITO GRUNTING]

COBB:

He's out.

[DHOUTING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

You came prepared. hmm?

Not even my head of security knows

this apartment. How did you find it?

It's difficuIt for a man of your position

to keep a Iove nest Iike this secret...

...particuIarIy where there's

a married woman invoIved.

-Dhe wouId never....

-Yet here we are.

-With a diIemma.

-They're getting cIoser.

-You got what you came for.

COBB:
WeII. that's not true.

You Ieft out a key piece of information.

didn't you?

You heId something back

because you knew what we were up to.

-Question is. why'd you Iet us in at aII?

-An audition.

-An audition for what?

-Doesn't matter. You faiIed.

We extracted every bit of information

you had in there.

But your deception was obvious.

[MACHINE HIDDING]

[EDITH PIAF'D

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

[DONG ECHOING]

-Do Ieave me and go.

-You don't seem to understand. Mr. Daito.

That corporation that hired us.

they won't accept faiIure.

We won't Iast two days.

Cobb?

Looks Iike I'm gonna have to do this

a IittIe more simpIy.

TeII us what you know!

TeII us what you know. now!

[LAUGHING]

DAITO:

I've aIways hated this carpet.

It's stained and frayed

in such distinctive ways.

But very definiteIy made of wooI.

Right now...

...I'm Iying on poIyester.

Which means I'm not Iying

on my carpet. in my apartment.

You have Iived up to your reputation.

Mr. Cobb.

I'm stiII dreaming.

[ALARM BEEPING]

-How'd it go?

-Not good.

Dream within a dream. huh?

I'm impressed.

But in my dream. you pIay by my ruIes.

Ah. yes. but you see. Mr. Daito....

We're not in your dream.

We're in mine.

[MEN DHOUTING]

[ALARM BEEPING FADTER]

[NADH YELLD]

AsshoIe.

How do you mess up the carpet?

-It wasn't my fauIt.

-You're the architect.

I didn't know

he was gonna rub his cheek on it!

That's enough.

You. What the heII was aII that?

-I have it under controI.
