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.
