There!

One cafe.

One cafe.

One cafe.

Care for a lift, Mr. Cobb?

What are you doing in Mombasa? I’m here to protect my investment.

Ah, So this is your idea of losing a tail, huh?

Different tail.

Cobb said you’d be back.

I tried not to come, but… But there’s nothing quite like it.

It’s just…

…pure creation.

Shall we take a look at some paradoxical architecture?

You’re gonna have to master a few tricks…

…if you’re gonna build three complete dream levels. Excuse me.

What kind of tricks?

In a dream, you can cheat architecture into impossible shapes.

That lets you create closed loops, like the Penrose Steps.

The infinite staircase.

See?

Paradox.

So a closed loop like that…

…will help you disguise the boundaries of the dream you create.

But how big do these levels have to be?

It could be anything from the floor of a building to an entire city.

They have to be complicated enough that we can hide from the projections.

A maze? Right, a maze.

And the better the maze…

Then the longer we have before the projections catch us?

Exactly.

My subconscious seems polite enough. Ha, ha You wait, they’ll turn ugly.

No one likes to feel someone else messing around in their mind.

Cobb can’t build anymore, can he?

I don’t know if he can’t, but he won’t.

He thinks it’s safer if he doesn’t know the layouts.

Why?

He won’t tell me. But I think it’s Mal.

His ex-wife? No, not his ex.

They’re still together? No.

No, she’s dead.

What you see in there is just his projection of her.

What was she like in real life?

She was lovely.

YUSUF: You are seeking a chemist? Yes.

To formulate compounds for a job?

And to go into the field with us.

No, I rarely go into the field, Mr. Cobb.

Well, we’d need you there to tailor compounds specific to our needs.

Which are? Great depth.

A dream within a dream? Two levels?

Three.

Not possible. That many dreams within dreams is too unstable.

It is possible. You just have to add a sedative.

A powerful sedative.

How many team members? Five.

Six.

The only way to know you’ve done the job is if I go in with you.

There’s no room for tourists on a job like this, Mr. Saito.

This time, it seems there is.

This, I think, is a good place to start. I use it every day.

What for? Here, I’ll show you.

Perhaps you will not want to see.

After you.

Ten Twelve. All connected Bloody hell.

They come every day to share the dream.

You see? Very stable.

How long do they dream for? Three, four hours, each day.

In dream time?

With this compound? About 40 hours, each and every day.

Why do they do it? Tell him, Mr. Cobb.

After a while, it becomes the only way you can dream.

Do you still dream, Mr. Cobb?

They come here every day to sleep? No.

They come to be woken up.

The dream has become their reality.

Who are you to say otherwise, sir?

Let’s see what you can do.

You know what you have to do.

Sharp, no?

Are you all right, Mr. Cobb?

Yeah, yeah. Everything’s just fine.

Robert Fischer, heir to the Fischer Morrow energy conglomerate.

What’s your problem with this Mr. Fischer?

That’s not your concern.

Mr. Saito, this isn’t your typical corporate espionage.

You asked me for inception.

I do hope you understand the gravity of that request.

Now, the seed that we plant in this man’s mind will grow into an idea.

This idea will define him.

It may come to change…

Well, it may come to change everything about him.

We’re the last company standing between them and total energy dominance.

And we can no longer compete.

Soon, they’ll control the energy supply of half the world.

In effect, they become a new superpower.

The world needs Robert Fischer to change his mind.

That’s where we come in.

How is Robert Fischer’s relationship with his father?

Rumor is the relationship is quite complicated.

Well, we can’t work based solely on rumor, can we?

Can you get me access to this man here? Browning.

Fischer Senior’s right-hand man. Fischer Junior’s godfather.

It should be possible, if you can get the right references.

References are something of a specialty for me, Mr. Saito.

I’m not smelling settlement here. Take them down.

Mr. Browning…

…Maurice Fischer’s policy is always one of avoiding litigation.

Well, shall we voice your concerns with Maurice directly?

Not sure that’s necessary.

No, no, no. I think we should.
