Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He tauira e hiahia ana ki te whai i te mana nui i te pōpō i te wā i whakawakia ai ia mō te whakapohehe i tētahi kaitākaro ngaio ki tōna matenga. Ko Leonie Granger, 25, i aro atu ki te kaitākaro, ki a Mehmet Hassan, 56, i muri i tana kitenga i a ia e whakaatu ana i tētahi pukapuka moni £50 i tētahi hōtera i London's West End. I whakamahia e te kaipahua te ahua pai o te wahine ki te whakahoahoa ki te kaitākaro poker, nāna ia i tuku taonga, moni me ngā haerenga ki ngā wharekai papai. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Te patu: Ko Leonie Granger, maui, kua kitea he hara mo te patu tangata mo te matenga o Mehmet Hassan, matau. Engari i muri i tana hokinga ki tana whare ki a ia i tetahi po, ka hanga e ia ana kupu whakahoki, ka waiho te tatau e kore e kati kia taea ai e tana hoa me tetahi atu kaitiaki te uru ki roto. I herea e rātau te matua o ngā tamariki tokotoru, ā, i werohia ia kia mate i a rātau e rapu ana i ōna taonga huna i roto i tōna kāinga. I kitea e te pirihimana he whakaahua waea pūkoro o Granger me ngā tāngata e kata ana, e maka ana i ngā nama £50. Inanahi, i tangi a Granger i te wā i whakawāteatia ai ia e te rōia o Old Bailey mō te kohuru, engari i kitea ia he hara mō te kohuru o Mr Hassan. Ko Granger, i whakaahuahia ki a Mr Hassan i roto i te casino, i whakamahi i a ia hei 'whaainga ngawari' Ko tana hoa rangatira a Kyrron Jackson me tana hoa a Nicholas Chandler, e 28, i whakawakia mo te kohuru, te pahua, te herehere kore me nga hara patu. Ko ngā tāngata e ārahi ana i ngā mema o tētahi kapa i whakaekehia e rua te hōtera o South Kensington i te taha o te patu i ngā wiki i mua. I puta te riri i roto i te papa i nga wa poto i muri i nga whakataunga i te wa i oatitia ai e Chandler te kaiwhakawa me te whakaoho i te pakanga. I toia ia ki waho i runga i nga mekameka. I piko a Granger ki te kokonga o te tauranga, e karanga ana: "Kei te haurangi koe?" ki tetahi kaitiaki herehere wahine i a ia e pana ana i te tatau kia kore ai tetahi e mawhiti. Ko te kaipatu tatu he kaimahi tiaki i tētahi kāinga i Gillingham mō ngā tūroro pakeke e mate ana i te ngoikoretanga. Engari ko te "tamahine o te rōpū" i haereere i nga pō o West End i nga ahiahi katoa, he mea whakakakahu ki nga kakahu whakamataku me nga nekehanga o te nekehanga, e whai ana i nga tangata whai rawa. I tangi a Granger i roto i te papa o te hunga whakapae i te mea i kitea ia he hara mo te whakapohehe i a Mr Hassan ki tona matenga i te Maehe o te tau kua hipa. Ka whakaahuatia a Chandler...
I whakaponohia e Leonie Granger, 25, Mehmet Hassan e hiahia ana ia ki a ia. I haere tahi raua ki tona whare, a, ka tukua atu ki roto tana hoa rangatira a Kyrron Jackson me tana hoa mahi a Nicholas Chandler. I werohia e rātau a Hassan kia mate ai, ā, i tahaetia ētahi o ana whiwhinga petipeti. Kua whakawakia a Granger mo te kohuru i te mea i kitea nga tangata e rua he hara mo te kohuru.
