![]() Cobb, having entered Limbo voluntarily, eventually found him there but was notably already in a confused state. Having arrived in Limbo with no memory, he stayed there for decades. ![]() He succeeded and they committed suicide together in Limbo, but playing with her subconscious like that also had devastating results later in real life.Ī somewhat similar thing happened with Saito. How it relates to what happened to Cobb and Mal in Limbo:Ĭobb and Mal willingly entered Limbo together, and Mal was eventually reluctant to leave it. It's even possible that by saying that, Saito actually reminded Cobb what he's there to do. He vaguely suspects that someone will try to kill him to get him out, but he isn't sure it's the right choice until he sees Cobb and they remember their previous conversation together. Saito is confused about what's real and what's not, just like Mal was. When a stranger washes up on shore with a gun, Saito might simply suspect he's an assassin. In the Limbo world, Saito runs a (possibly organized crime) empire just like the dream in the beginning of the film. ![]() This doesn't necessarily mean that Saito knows he has to die to leave Limbo.

So let's tackle the relevant points one at a time. Can't even think about trying to escape until the sedation eases.Ĭobb (to Saito): When you wake up you won't even remember that we had an arrangement.
