1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? I just

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: fail and started screaming if you lost someone you loved

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: in the most horrific way about twenty two times the police, right,

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: But what if the person you're supposed to go to

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: for help is the one you're the most afraid of.

6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: This dude is the devil.

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: He is a snake. He hurt you. I watched her

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 2: walk out my door, walk up the street, and then

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: the next morning they find her dead.

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm Niki Richardson, and this is the girlfriend's untouchable. This season,

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: we're traveling to my hometown, Kansas City, Kansas, to explore

12
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: how a murder case in the nineties took a group

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: of women, including me, on a decade's long journey that

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: exposed the deadly pattern of sexual abuse and sum just

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: in the dark underworld of a corrupt police officer, Roger Gulupski.

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: For years, the women of Kansas City, Kansas State silent,

17
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: terrified of what might happen to them if they spoke out.

18
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: He walks in and he catches Swoopski involved in a

19
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: sexual compromising situation with a black female.

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: This man has sexy assaulted so many black women of

21
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: the community. Roger just being Roger. That's kind of like

22
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: a boy's Olie boys.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: The whole time he's driving them to the cemetery, he's

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: holding a gun to their head. There's a lot of

25
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: people whose lives he ruined that we could have prevented

26
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: by taking him out, removing him from misposition.

27
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: As a police officer. This man seemed untouchable until the

28
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: women of Kansas City found each other.

29
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: This is unbelievable. For all of these years, I've always

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: thought it was just me as individuals. We were terrified,

31
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: but our sisterhood made us braver, determined to expose corruption,

32
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: speak truth to power, and take Detective Glupski down. If

33
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: it was your mom that got killed, what would you

34
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: had have done? They said, we would have left it alone.

35
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not, y'all. The power is with the people.

36
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: I told Roger Glupski, I said, you're gonna see my

37
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: face to the day that you die.
