Saito wants Cobb to instill an idea in Robert Fisher, a business rival of Saito, to dissolve his father's company and promises that he can use his influence to clear Cobb's murder charge if this mission is successful.

It may not be easy for the audience to notice whether the scene occurred in reality, within a dream, or within different dream levels simply by looking at the images. In fact, sound effects are used in the film to solve this problem. There is a change in tone in the surrounding sound as the characters travel from one dream level to another. When they travel to a deeper level of dreaming, the tone is lower. The tone becomes higher again when returning to the higher level of the dream. In addition to the change in pitch, there is also a change in speed. Because characters experience a slower time flow than that of the higher level in a dream, the surrounding sound also slows down. And when they return to the upper level, the sounds speed up.
