那儿的监控都被她故意破坏了

当她们完事的时候

她再让她们偷偷出去

she'd sneak³ 'em back out.

准备好听最不可思议的部分

Now, get ready for the weird⁴ part.

这些服务都是她免费提供的

She did it all for free.

你是说她是个志愿的老鸨

据在这里工作的姑娘所说

According to the girls who worked there,

是的 她们的嫖客都喜欢她

那她收到的威胁电话是怎么回事

What about the threatening phone calls she received

她们说电话都是一个

They say that they came from the one girl

她不得不抛弃的女孩打来的

那个女孩在大厅里直接爽起来了

The girl got high in the lobby,

春光无限 所以她不得不把她辞了

made a scene, so she had to cut her off.

我们查过她了

We tracked her down.

她过去六个月都在争取财产
