WEBVTT - Introducing Season 4 of The Girlfriends: Untouchable

0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? I just

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:09.399
<v Speaker 1>fail and started screaming if you lost someone you loved

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:16.079
<v Speaker 1>in the most horrific way about twenty two times the police, right,

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>But what if the person you're supposed to go to

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>for help is the one you're the most afraid of.

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>This dude is the devil.

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 2>He is a snake. He hurt you. I watched her

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 2>walk out my door, walk up the street, and then

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:35.240
<v Speaker 2>the next morning they find her dead.

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm Niki Richardson, and this is the girlfriend's untouchable. This season,

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 1>we're traveling to my hometown, Kansas City, Kansas, to explore

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>how a murder case in the nineties took a group

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>of women, including me, on a decade's long journey that

0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>exposed the deadly pattern of sexual abuse and sum just

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>in the dark underworld of a corrupt police officer, Roger Gulupski.

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>For years, the women of Kansas City, Kansas State silent,

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>terrified of what might happen to them if they spoke out.

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 2>He walks in and he catches Swoopski involved in a

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 2>sexual compromising situation with a black female.

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>This man has sexy assaulted so many black women of

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the community. Roger just being Roger. That's kind of like

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a boy's Olie boys.

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 2>The whole time he's driving them to the cemetery, he's

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>holding a gun to their head. There's a lot of

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>people whose lives he ruined that we could have prevented

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>by taking him out, removing him from misposition.

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>As a police officer. This man seemed untouchable until the

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>women of Kansas City found each other.

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>This is unbelievable. For all of these years, I've always

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 2>thought it was just me as individuals. We were terrified,

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>but our sisterhood made us braver, determined to expose corruption,

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>speak truth to power, and take Detective Glupski down. If

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 2>it was your mom that got killed, what would you

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>had have done? They said, we would have left it alone.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm not, y'all. The power is with the people.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I told Roger Glupski, I said, you're gonna see my

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>face to the day that you die.

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.640

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.679
