Prison Break Quote
[In court at Sara's trial]
Paul: What I'm about to divulge to you will, in all likelihood, get me killed. Actually, I guarantee it.
Lawyer: Then why are you doing it?
Paul: Because this was supposed to be about country, about loyalty, about what's right, but it wasn't, because I wronged people who should not have been wronged. Those orders were given by Caroline Reynolds who was Vice President at the time. Acting on those orders, I planted evidence, I procured a body, I lured Lincoln Burrows into that parking garage that evening under the auspices of a different hit. Ground up, we framed him. See, Lincoln Burrows get executed, people forget about Terrence Steadman, the controversy surrounding him and the Presidency, and nobody ever knows about The Company.
Woman Lawyer: Yes, which is a shadowy cabal of corporations that pretty much influence everything that happens in this country. But I fail to see how any of this is relevant to Sara Tancredi and the fact that she aided and abetted, that she jumped bail--
Paul: She did so because she feared for her life, which was appropriate, as I had orders to kill her.
