His ulterior motive for bringing down The Mark (Cillian Murphy):
- Cobb: Redemption for wife's death
- Hooker: Revenge for partner's murder
He convinces The Mark to work with him to bring down a rival:
- Cobb convinces Fischer (Cillian Murphy) to take down Browning (Tom Berenger)
- Hooker convinces Lonnegan (Robert Shaw) to take down Gondorff (Paul Newman)
- Cobb's dead wife haunts his subconscious
- Hooker haunted by vindictive cop
- Cobb promises his whole share to the Chemist, Yusuf
- Hooker declines to accept his share: "I'd just blow it."
