Heroes And Villains
No.9 claimed that she was going to escape with Cobb. She went to his funeral cutting a forlorn figure as possibly the only true mourner of Cobb's death. The ony trouble is, Cobb wasn't dead, yet possibly No.9 did not know that.
9 was assigned to Cobb, now she has been assigned to No.6, but will not escape with him, as she says she never intended to without Cobb, so at least she gives the impression of being faithfull to Cobb's memory.
No.9 works for No.2, used by him, Cobb, No.6, and by the helicopter pilot {if we are to believe the words of No.9} but personally I think that's part of 9's story, that she never really knew the last pilot of the helicopter, but that it was No.2 himself who gave 9 the Electro Pass. Yet if 9 did know the last helicopter pilot as she tells No.6, then she gave a lot to get her hands on that Electro Pass for herself and Cobb, something which would have cost her dear!
If No.9 thought she was actually going to escape with Cobb, what kind of agent does that make her? As Cobb clearly had no intention of escaping the Village, because he looks far too relaxed at the end. Unless the turn around of Cobb's attitude and loyalties was remarkably swift! Be seeing you.
