Thompson State of Play

In the movie State of Play, the corporations were basically resembling that of an individual. In in the scene where Della Frye and Cal McAffrey takes Dominic Foy to a motel to question him. Dominic works for a company called Medal of Freedom. This company is a subsidiary company of Point Corps. Point Corps is a military that is being investigated. Sonia Baker is a spy that works in Congress at Point Corps. She is undercover to investigate Point Corps with the suspicion of illegal activities. This information is given to McAffery by Foy. Baker is hired by Stephen Collins. Collins was recommended Baker by another Congressman who is from West Virginia who also works for Point Corps. Surprisingly, Baker and Collins had an affair. With Collins being unaware of Baker being a spy, Baker falls in love with Collins and makes the decision to stop spying on him. As the interview was continuing, McAffrey calls Collins to come to the motel and to view the recording of the interview. Through the recording, McAfferey reveals to Collins that Baker was a spying on Point Corps and she was also pregnant with Collin's child.

The motel scene shows that Point Corps was undermining the investigation into the conversial actions by hiring Baker that can be semi in charge of the investigation. If Baker and Collin's affair had not occured, Point Corps could have got around Congress' plans to stop them from their illegal activites. At the end, it is shown that Baker was murdered by a solider that Collins had hired to spy on and follow her. The onky confusion is whether she was murdered because of Point Corps, or if it was for Collin's being.
