Prosecutor: Closing Begins

The prosecutor has begun his closing argument.
He is playing various undercover tapes that were shown throughout the trial.

"Who is the first person to mention money? Who is the first person to talk about first class?" asks the prosecutor. "Then Senator John Ford," he says.

The juorors hear another portion of the tape where Ford says, "Book me. I'm on board. Whatever we need to do. Let's move."

The prosecutor is trying to convince the jury that Ford was not entrapped, but rather he came looking for a pay-off from the FBI's sham company E-Cycle.
