The Company (Prison Break)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Company is a fictional covert organization featured in the U.S. television drama/thriller series Prison Break.
The Company is a secret group of multinationals known only by those who work for them. Their influence and power over individuals stretches to the White House, controlling every decision the country makes. The Company's main goal is to attain control over the country's economy. With Caroline Reynolds (Patricia Wettig), the former Vice President of the United States in their grasp, The Company held control over the government's sway on the energy bill and subsequently, the country's economy. However, The Company considers every individual who works for them a pawn to achieve their goals.
The Company's desperate need to attain control of the country's economy eventuated in illegal dealings through Caroline Reynolds' brother's company, Ecofield. When one of their employees leaked information about Ecofield into the public, The Company went to incredible lengths to capture him. This man was Aldo Burrows (Anthony Denison). In order to bring him out into the open, The Company used Caroline Reynolds' power as the Vice President to convict his son, Lincoln Burrows of Terrence Steadman's murder.
The Company became increasingly worried about Caroline Reynolds chances at winning the presidential elections after her support started to plummet in the polls. After Reynolds lost President Richard Mills' confidence and the support for a key energy bill, The Company decided to cut her off and advised her to drop out of the race, or they would have to make her. They were greatly surprised when Reynolds had the President killed shortly thereafter (disguising it as a heart-attack) and was then sworn in as the next President of the United States.
It seems that Reynolds cut off all ties to The Company after becoming President, despite their efforts to reconcile with her. As such, Reynolds is no longer a pawn of The Company and all hopes they had of controlling the government are crushed.
