I wish Eames had more scenes. I always wondered what was running through his mind. This was my idea.
All Is Lost – Eames
He saw their plan get shot full of holes and pierce Saito, heard the possibility of dying without dying and yet he didn't give up.
He saw the Charles gambit work but knew that only Arthur could keep them from being caught, saw how Dom was becoming consumed by his paranoia, by his guilt.
He knew that the girl was becoming a liability. She was becoming too attached to their leader to be objective. Arthur was too blind to see the fractures in the man. Saito and Yusuf had no knowledge and yet Eames didn't give up.
The third plan didn't go according to anything. Saito was dying, Fischer didn't believe in himself, Arthur was missing, Ariadne was too emotionally invested as was Dom. Only he was objective but he could see it pulling apart at the seams and still he didn't give up.
"Eames, Eames! Get up here, it's Fischer!"
He saw their fallen target and the blood pooling on his chest. Saw the remorse and pain on Cobb and the anger and jealousy in Ariadne's. He paid no mind to the other fallen, he knew exactly who she was, though Ariadne couldn't help pointing her out, that was when he gave up.
