The thin man thrust the ID into Cobb's hand: "Leave now, or you won't even think about leaving, Cobb."

Cobb nodded and turned from the window: "Then I felt panic. I have been longing for them to turn around. I shouldn't waste such an opportunity..."

He turned and shouted, but the children ran away and disappeared.

"But this moment has passed. No matter what I do, this dream will always remain the same. As soon as I try to shout, they will run away."

Cobb watched them run away, the children calling for grandma, but their faces could not be seen.

"If I want to see their faces again, I have to go back to the real world!"

Behind him, Linnie closed the elevator grating, and Cobb turned around.

Lin Ni pressed the button for the basement and the elevator started to go down. Lin Ni's eyes widened. As the floors slid down, she felt surprised: this was Mal's childhood bedroom, with a wall like a freight train roaring.

Then, the elevator stopped. Through the iron fence, Lin Ni saw a hotel room. She opened the iron fence and walked in carefully.

The bedding was messy, the coffee table was overturned, and strawberries were everywhere on the floor, as if after a fight. Lin Ni continued to walk forward, and something broke under her feet. She looked down and saw that she had kicked over a champagne goblet.

Ni felt a draft of air and the curtains moved slightly.

Mal's voice came: "What are you doing here?"

Linnie turned around. Mal was opposite her.

Lin Ni said: "My name is..."

But before she could finish speaking, Mal interrupted her and said, "I know who you are, what are you doing here?"

Lin Ni shook her head: "I don't know, I'm trying to understand."

Mal: "How can you understand? Do you know how to be a lover? To be half of a whole?"

Lin Ni: "I don't know."

Mal slowly walked towards Linni: "Let me tell you a mystery. You are waiting for a train. This train will take you to a distant place. You know where you want the train to go, but you are not sure...

..."

Mal looked Lin Ni up and down, looking at her whole body: "But, it doesn't matter. Where this train is going, how come it has nothing to do with you?"

Cobb's voice came: "Because you will be together."

Cobb stood in the elevator, Mal nodded and looked at him.

Mal asked him: "How could you bring her here, Dom?"

Lin Ni was confused: "What place is this?"

"A hotel, we stayed in this suite for our wedding anniversary," Cobb said.

"What's going on here?"

Mal picked up a champagne goblet with a broken base. Cobb quickly dragged Linnie into the elevator. Mal jumped at Linni. Cobb quickly closed the elevator. Mal rushed over and attacked like a beast again and again.

Lin Ni is timid about elevators!

Mal: "You promised me! You said we would spend our whole lives together!"

Cobb: "We could, we would. But I need you here now!"

Mal was angry: "You said we would spend our whole lives together!"

Cobb pressed the button and the elevator began to rise.

"I'll be back, I need you here alone now, you stay here, I'll finish my work, and then we'll be together!"

Mal is still repeating the words: "We will be together forever - you promised me!"

Mal threw herself against the elevator barrier...

In the studio, Lin Ni had already woken up. She watched Cobb sleeping, and his eyes gradually turned and opened. He watched her look at him.

Lin Ni asked: "Do you think you can lock her in by building a prison of memory? Do you think you can hold her in that way?"

The lights came on, and Li Teng and Arthur stood on the porch.

Li Teng said: "Maurice Fisher just passed away in Sydney."

Cobb asked, "When is the funeral?"

Li Teng: "Thursday. In Los Angeles."

Cobb: "Robert should have his body escorted back by Tuesday. It's time for us to take action."

Cobb stood up, Lin Ni approached him and whispered: "I'll go with you."

Cobb refused: "No, I promised Miles."

Lin Ni: "There needs to be someone on the team who understands your struggling state. If you don't take me, you should take Arthur to see what I just saw."

Cobb looked at Lin Ni, then turned to Li Teng.

"We need to have room for one more person on the plane."

The camera switched to Li Teng standing looking out the window at the Boeing 747, and Cobb came behind him. They saw a coffin being loaded onto the plane.

"Once I get on the plane and you don't take care of things properly, when I land, I'm going to spend the rest of my life in jail," Cobb said.

Li Teng: "After you complete the mission as planned during the trip, I will make a phone call from the plane and you will be able to pass through the immigration without any obstacles."

On the plane, there were only 10 seats in the luxurious first-class cabin. Cobb found his seat. He looked at Linnie sitting in the seat behind him. They pretended not to know each other. Behind Linnie was Arthur, who was looking at her.

He was looking out the window when Eames came in and stuffed his bag into the trunk above his head. Standing behind him was Robert Fishel. Fishel stood there, very patiently, holding the bag in his hand.

, wearing a black suit.

Eames: "Oh, I'm sorry."

Ames squeezed into the gap between the seats to let Fisher pass. Fisher walked to his seat, just in front of Cobb. Ames quickly handed Cobb a passport, and Cobb opened it.
