Pacto Brutal: O Assassinato de Daniella Perez (2022): Season 1, Episode 2 - Os Assassinos - full transcript

What a violent country!

Murdered in Rio,

actress Daniella Perez, Yasmin
from the telenovela "De Corpo e Alma".

Those who went to the scene
were shocked.

So much cruelty. I have no words.

Daniella Perez was stabbed to death.

This revelation opens up for prosecution

the possibility
of an even more astonishing crime.

Murderer! Thief!

I told him,
"Guilherme, this is not a TV studio.

This is a police station."



A telenovela scene is a telenovela scene.

You cannot mix fiction and reality.

This is much more aggressive
than her crime scene photos.

This keeps killing the person.

After he confessed to killing
actress Daniella Perez,

actor Guilherme de Pádua is released.

Sometimes you just
can't understand justice.

The deputy told me:
"Careful! Watch your mouth!"

The actor will await
the trial in liberty.

That day, he took me by the arm,

"Luana, where's Dani?"
He seemed possessed.

- Did you really kill Daniella?
- Are you innocent?

We need to catch the bastard
and cage him.

When we heard he had been released,
I said, "Released how?



He's a monster.
You released a monster."

Dani had this thing

of someone who is training
to be big in her profession.

And Dani, today,

have no doubt, man,

she would be a hell of a star today.

But a different star,
friendly, cheerful and generous.

That girl, for sure,

would be crazy fantastic.

At that time,

children could only start
taking jazz classes from age ten.

I remember because
she sneaked in with nine,

so passionate she was.

"My God, what a fabulous talent
this girl has."

She was born for the stage.

You're not recording, right?

Of course I am.

She fell in love with dancing
and at the same time she would say,

"Mom, I think I want to try.

If I pursue an acting career,

I can do musicals,
I can combine dancing with acting."

The King of Kananga, who
will be performing with Daniella.

I choreographed "Kananga do Japão",

and we needed a partner for Raul

and I said,
"I know who will be perfect for you.

Gloria's daughter, Daniella.

She is gorgeous.
You will make a wonderful couple."

"Sure, let's do it!"

I saw the look on their faces
when I introduced them.

I was very impressed
the first time I saw Dani.

There was born,

one of the greatest passions
I have ever felt in my life.

My beautiful kitten
is pinning up her hair.

The most beautiful woman on this planet.

Our life was a party.
A fondness for each other, a love.

This is my wife.

Great beloved wife!

Suddenly, people started to call her
"Brazil's Sweetheart".

Everybody was talking about her.

She never sought success.

She had always sought to build a career.

She was in her prime.

People saw her talent,

her charisma, her brilliance,

everything put together.

The spontaneity to act on television.

She was in a moment of fulfillment.

We had plans to have children.

There was no time. Unfortunately.

BREAKING NEWS

New information about the death
of actress Daniella Perez,

Yasmin from the 8 p.m. telenovela.

The body of the actress was found
this morning.

The forensic medicine institute
report reveals

that actress Daniella Perez had
been stabbed 12 times close to her heart.

And frightening hypotheses arise
for the crime.

In over 40 years as a journalist,

it was one of the most shocking
and monstrous things I have ever seen.

The violence of the scissor blows
against the actress was such

that Daniella Perez's heart was exposed.

It was all so bizarre,

so out of the ordinary.

Living in Vidigal,

I experienced death,
injustice, and prejudice.

Not even those who messed things up
had such an end.

The President had resigned,

but murder was the topic of the day.

I started to pay more attention

because the resignation news
had been overshadowed,

naturally, by the murder
of actress Daniella Perez

the way it happened.

Outside, more than two thousand people.

The whole of Brazil stopped.

It was really complicated.

Soap operas are not unique to the US,
neither is murder.

Brazil has both at once.

The New York Times reported.

Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela.
Everyone was reporting.

To many soap opera viewers,

Daniella Perez was like
a member of the family.

Both were young, both were handsome,

the two played
a romantic couple in the telenovela.

For this report, in recent times,

nothing has shocked Brazilians
more than Daniella's death.

Has affected Brazilians
like nothing else in recent memory.

Daniella had 18 body punctures.

Eight blows struck the girl's heart.

Four injured the left lung.
In the neck...

There were lots of people there,
actors, the press,

in that dark place.

I noticed Fabio Assunção with his wife,

I walked up to them and asked,
"What were her last movements?"

"She left Tycoon."

And they were willing
to take me to Tycoon.

Tycoon Studios, West Zone of Rio.

December 28, 1992. That afternoon...

We drove up there,
and was the first thing I thought?

"Had she come from there?
Who was with her?

Was there another car there at the time?"

That afternoon, they had shot
Yasmin and Bira break-up scene.

At Tycoon, Nélio and I asked

for the incoming
and outgoing vehicles spreadsheet.

The security guard refused.

Then, I exercised my authority and said,
"I'm seizing it."

And the investigation started

with information from the witness
who had been at the scene

and written down the plates,
it was key.

Dr. Hugo da Silveira provided us
with license plates for two cars

he had observed on the scene,

and both cars were on the spreadsheet.

That day, Guilherme
had few scenes to shoot.

But the Santana had
a questionable letter.

The correct plate was LM-1115,

and he had written OM-1115.

Then we already had the information,
"This car belongs to Guilherme de Pádua."

"Why was his car
at the scene beside hers?"

He had to give an explanation.

Serrano and I went
to bring Guilherme de Pádua

to the police station
so we could hear his side.

We went to the parking garage
and immediately saw the car there.

Then I arranged with Nélio

for them to go upstairs

to prevent anyone from evading
the apartment.

I called from the reception.

While we were going through all that,

all this anguish, this despair,

when Serrano arrived the next day
to take him to the police station,

he found him asleep.

He asked, "Can I come
to the police station later?

I'm tired, I didn't sleep well."

I lied. I told him that all the actors
were at the police station,

except him.

He would certainly not refuse
to make a statement,

since the purpose was
to find out the author of the crime.

Dozens of people spent the day outside
the Barra da Tijuca police station,

waiting for news
about the murder of Daniella Perez.

The police already have a suspect,
actor Guilherme de Pádua,

who plays Bira,
a man in love with Yasmin.

He was taken to the police station

and starts telling that he left Daniella,

that they shot their scenes,
that she was nervous,

in short, telling a whole story,

they went out together,

but he left to pick up his wife
at the mall.

I sent people to the mall
to check out his story.

All lies.

And in those lies of his
I undermined his resolve.

Guilherme de Pádua was arrested at home
early in the morning.

He is 23 years old, married,
and his wife is four months pregnant.

The police questioned
Guilherme for over ten hours.

Police directors went there, doctors.

He was examined by a coroner
at the police station

to see if he had any injuries.

- And had he?
- He had.

I told him,

"Guilherme, this is not a TV studio.

This is a police station.

Make no mistake that as an actor,
you can fake innocence."

Guilherme de Pádua denied
committing the crime

when questioned,

but the deputy in charge
of the investigation

just declared
that he has no more doubts.

He kept giving different answers,
but the evidence confirmed the case.

Until he got tired of so many questions

that he must have thought,
"They already know, they are certain."

I remember one thing
that Arthur Lavigne,

who was our lawyer, said to me,

and I never forgot, "Gazolla,

you can't prove a lie,

but a truth you can prove."

In the meantime, we received
the forensic report with information

that the car's license plate had
been tampered with.

No one would change their license plate

to go to the supermarket or the mall.

Nobody does that.

Whoever alters their car's license plate
is up to no good.

The thing was planned.

POINT WHERE THE WITNESS TURNED

In view of the statements,

when he sees
that we had Hugo da Silveira,

who saw the car,
he read his statement,

the tampered plate,
he must have thought,

"They uncovered the truth."

At that point, Chief Deputy Mauro

was already at the police station.

He asked us to clear the room

because he wanted to talk
to the chief deputy.

At that moment he confessed

to Dr. Mauro
that he had committed the crime.

Guilherme! Justice!

- Murderer!
- Thief!

Thief! Murderer! Thief!

The murderer Guilherme de Pádua
was arrested hours after the crime.

Callously, he confessed stabbing
Daniella with a pair of scissors.

He admitted to the following,

Daniella was harassing him.

She would have a sexual,
love interest in him.

And he was concerned

because he realized
this could be affecting,

perhaps due to her influence,

in her mother's writing

excluding him of the telenovela.

And she was forcing him
and even threatening him.

Then he said that, to end this matter,
he convinces her,

"Look, let's talk."

It was Daniella who took him
from Tycoon to that location.

He went to that place

where no one would
have a conversation

because it was a body dump.

Dani would never go anywhere,

anywhere, of her own free will,
she wouldn't.

She was terrified

of any possibility
of going to some dark place.

She finished shooting
and waited for me to follow her.

She would never. Absolutely.
It's not possible.

He created a completely far-fetched story

that the victim
was a dangerous madwoman,

that she was harassing him,

and he, who loved his wife very much,
rejected her advances,

and, in a moment of madness,

took him to that remote place
and attacked him aggressively.

In fact, he got those scratches
because she had assaulted him.

She was a small girl,
with a fragile physique.

He's a strong guy.

And then he said she started to cry

after assaulting him, etc.

And then he went to get a tissue
from the glove compartment

to help her wipe her tears,

and she saw a pair of scissors.

Out of her mind, she took the scissors
and attacked him.

And he then manages, who knows how,

to grab the scissors from her,

and then he blacked out.

He doesn't know what he did,
when he did it...

An absurd story.

He said that he defended himself.

But he is very strong
and ends up striking her.

Guilherme got nervous,
so he grabbed the actress in a choke hold

and thought he had asphyxiated her.

To save her, he said he took the scissors
and walked towards Daniella,

and tried to punch a hole in her neck

to get the actress to breathe again,
but he couldn't.

Thinking Daniella was dead,

Guilherme de Pádua assures
that he panicked,

and decided to stage a mugging
followed by death.

He delivered 12 stabs
to Daniella Perez's chest

and took off with the actress' bag,

who, according to witnesses,
had six thousand dollars

and the three notes Guilherme had sent
Daniella on the day of the crime.

The bag was introduced,
according to Deputy Joel,

undersecretary of Civilian Police,

when Guilherme mentions the bag,

saying that he left Daniella there,

but with a bag,

as he wanted to imply it was stolen.

When it is reported that there
were six thousand dollars in that bag,

he doesn't mention
the bag anymore, of course,

but a clerk informs a newspaper

that the dollars
that were inside the bag

were distributed to the police,

were handed over to the police.

The clerk then proceeds to recant,

saying that she never said that,
but it's there.

We had the clerk

who raised a serious question,

that a fanny pack containing
six thousand dollars had gone missing,

that fanny pack was never found,
no one knows how.

She cast a shadow of suspicion
on the police present at the scene.

Many inaccuracies were left in the air.

CLERK DENIES
HAVING ACCUSED POLICE OFFICERS

That's what I'd like to know.

Why is my name being attached to it?
I have nothing to do with it.

In fact, I'm feeling like a victim too,

because someone is behind
these allegations, using my name.

I never gave statements
to the press or to anyone.

I don't know, do you understand?
I have no way of knowing.

I have not seen it. When I arrived,
the car had already been ransacked.

I can't answer you

because I didn't know
anything about those dollars.

I never heard of those dollars.

On the theft of the bag,

these two pictures,

which were taken ten minutes
before Daniella was ambushed

she had these bags at the Tycoon exit.

Where are my daughter's bags?
Where are the dollars?

The murderer said he took the bags
to simulate a mugging,

and we are here waiting for the results.

Then he stopped
talking about the bag, right?

But...

He had said enough already,
he had confessed.

I woke up
and went to talk to the deputy.

"Are you sure?"

"He confessed."

I said, "But it's not possible!"

"Do you want to talk to him?"

I entered the cell.

I was in disbelief.

There were two single beds.

He was on the other side of the room.

I sat on the bed and said,

"Dude, that's it..."

He looked at me and said,
"I ended my life."

You can see how big his ego was.

He took a person's life

and he thinks he ended his life.

Everything that Guilherme
has told the police so far,

we must see as the exact opposite.

That's what the indictment is based on.

They had to leave
out of the story anything

that proved premeditation.

The defense wants to turn
the defendant into a victim.

The prosecution has no more doubts
the crime was premeditated.

He will only speak again in court.

However, before speaking in court,
he gave many interviews.

I am a one hundred percent
faithful husband.

I respect people's love.

I am very shocked by what has happened.
I am very sad.

Daniella has a wonderful,
handsome husband,

who likes her, who is smart

and she, perhaps for some madness,

she started... Yeah, exactly.

She started pressuring me,

saying that maybe we're not too young.

My wife is pregnant,

and my private life was threatened,
seriously threatened.

You flirted with her...

No, there was nothing between us.
Not even a kiss. Nothing.

- Nothing ever happened?
- Nothing.

He wanted to present himself,

as that heroic man,

who was sacrificing himself
for his pregnant wife,

for the woman
with whom he lived so well

to the point of getting a tattoo
with her name.

He offered to show his penis,

where he had tattooed
a love declaration for his wife.

And, in my opinion, I am convinced

that he already wanted to hint
at his wife's involvement.

Actor Guilherme de Pádua,
after surrendering to justice,

reiterates that his wife, Paula Thomaz,
had no part in the crime.

It didn't occur to the police officers,

at first, that it was Paula.

He would ask me, "Sir, may I call her?

I'm confessing, I already confessed,

may I call my wife?

Because she's pregnant,

I need to calm her down."

I said, "You may call her."

He bent down

with the phone, and said,

"Baby, I'm holding everything.

Calm down, I'm holding on."

Then I knew, "She was involved."

I called Serrano and Nélio,

"Go there and arrest Paula."

When the police got there,
there was a spiritual healer.

Her mother didn't want to let them in

because the healer had managed
to make her sleep under prayers.

One policeman said

he did some fishing,
and suggested to Paula:

"Guilherme has confessed."

And according to the detectives,

she confided that, indeed,
she had been there,

but had not taken part in anything.

If she said that, she had to be heard.

It would help the investigation.

Investigations continue
to attempt to establish

if there are other people involved.

When she arrived at the police station,
it looked like a television studio.

It was difficult to bring her
inside the police station at that time

due to the multitude of journalists.

We brought Paula to the police station
parking lot inside the car.

Then we said differently,

"It's no use, because Guilherme
already said you were together."

He had not said anything,
but that's how we play.

POLICE

Her mother said, "Speak up, already."

She could not hold herself,
"Just tell them".

Her mother knew.
She had already told her.

And she spoke.

She went in the car, on the assumption
of a romance between him and Daniella.

The two of them got into a fight,

Guilherme held her in a choke hold,
and Paula stabbed her with the scissors

while Daniella was already on the ground.

Mauro Magalhães,
the chief deputy, was there already.

He thought it best
not take her testimony there,

it was impossible.

He called the 15th precinct deputy,

"Can we send her over there?"
"Yes."

Then he asked the deputy on duty,

which was another deputy, Dr. Nilton,

to go to the 15th.

Then Dr. Nilton, a police escort,
she, her family, and her lawyer went

to put down on paper
what she had just confessed.

16TH POLICE PRECINCT

16TH POLICE PRECINCT

On the day of the murder,
I went to the police station.

There was a policeman at the entrance,

and he said to me,

"Suely, you are going to be
very upset today."

Then I told him, "If there's a scam,
I'll inform the press."

16TH POLICE PRECINCT

I said, "Here's the thing, where's Paula?

Where is Mauro Magalhães?

Where is Paula's father?

Because when I walked in,
the boy downstairs said

I would be very upset."

I pulled Nélio aside
so the lawyer would not hear,

"The girl has been
at the 15th for over an hour.

Mauro Magalhães owes a crime."

Still in the chapel,

a cousin of mine arrived from Brasilia.

He said, "Look, be careful

because the deputy in charge
of the case is very controversial.

It's Mauro Magalhães."

He was denounced
in that story of the House of Petrópolis,

which was a torture center
during the dictatorship.

And he said, "Be careful, be vigilant."

After a while, an hour, I don't know,

Dr. Nilton calls Dr. Mauro and says:

"Look, she refused to testify.

She started to feel sick,
I got worried, she is pregnant,

and I released her."

I snapped at him,

"Oh, Nilton, don't do this to us.
She confessed."

"No, she's coming in tomorrow. Relax.

She will come in tomorrow and confess."

No kidding. Don't be naive.

Then she didn't show up anymore.

There's no way.

I mean, I wish there was a way,
but that's how our system works.

Then, I called Nélio and said,
"Excuse me!

I will bring all the press into the room,

and the press will follow up.

Look here, Nélio,
I will not be involved in any cover-up."

I said my piece and left.

When I left, Mauro Magalhães was there.

While I was getting my things, he said,

"Careful, watch your mouth."

On the 29th, she was taken
to the police station, but no one knew.

Her going to the police station,
apparently,

that was arranged so that nobody
would know that she was there.

Nobody spoke of her.

I only learned about it afterward,
by the newspaper,

because that's when the reporter,
Elba, comes in.

At the time,
I covered a lot of court cases.

It seemed like
they were already making a deal

and Guilherme would take all the blame,

and Paula's family
would pay for his defense.

But I also knew who the chief deputy was.

He was Mauro Magalhães.
I knew him very well.

He is dead, but he was worthless.

He was a crook.

He is being booked and will be remanded.

He will be taken to the public jail.

- Right here?
- From then on...

Right here?

At 7 p.m., I managed to enter his office.

He did not want to speak to the press.

Then I went into his office

and asked him,

"Will you investigate
Guilherme's wife, Paula Thomaz?"

He said, "No! I have no reason."

I said, "No, I have information

that she was here this afternoon,
that she will be investigated."

"No, she won't."

I said, "I think you should start
investigating her

because tomorrow,
'O Globo' will print on the first page

that Paula, Guilherme's wife,
is also being investigated,

and was also involved in this story."

And then he and I started to quarrel.

I said, "I will publish it."

"No, you won't.
It will be your word against mine."

"I've already spoken to the newspaper,
and they said they will publish it."

And the next day, Paula's name
was already involved in the case.

"BIRA'S" WIFE HELPED HIM
KILL DANIELLA PEREZ

A few hours after the murder,

three policemen came
to Guilherme and Paula's house.

She confessed to killing Daniella Perez.

Even so, she was not taken
for questioning

or for a forensic examination.

It was very hard for her to walk away.

A warrant for her arrest was issued
after the news came out.

PAULA'S PRE-TRIAL DETENTION REQUESTED

Her pre-trial detention was issued,
but she remained at large,

I don't know how many days.

Then the flagrante
of Guilherme de Pádua was vacated

and the judge released him.

After he confessed
to killing actress Daniella Perez,

actor Guilherme de Pádua is released.

Judge Márcia Alvarenga considered
the arrest in flagrante illegal.

His lawyers argued

that it didn't meet
all the prerequisites.

And the judge on duty
decided to release him.

The actor will await
the trial in liberty.

You can't imagine how I felt.

He destroyed your life,

killed your daughter

and is out on the streets.

What is that?

Right now, actor Guilherme de Pádua is

leaving the Barra da Tijuca
police station

with his defense attorneys.

When he left, there was
already a national commotion.

Guilherme, do you feel
you have been wronged?

Do you feel wronged?

Did your wife take part
in the murder, Guilherme?

Why release him?

There was no evidence?

He confessed,

if he confessed, he must be in jail.

Over there, everybody is outraged.

Don't move the camera away.

Come here, let's show them.

Shaken, head down. Is he crying?

He is crying.
Everyone is outraged over here.

He was remanded,
obtained a habeas corpus,

the prosecution acted quickly
and managed to reverse this decision.

At the Court of Justice,

a judge analyzes the request for reversal

of the decision that got
Guilherme de Pádua released from jail.

It was remarkable. Because it is unusual.

A new arrest warrant was issued,

as the decision was reversed

that granted him provisional liberty.

He could flee.

Wanted: Guilherme de Pádua, 23,

prime suspect in the murder
of actress Daniella Perez.

If anyone sees them,
for the love of God, notify the police.

If you see his face,

he is a public person, well-known,
notify immediately.

To cause such a disgrace,
he must be a very dangerous person.

We need to catch this bastard
and cage him.

You become afraid.

When you shoot at night,
you go home freaking out.

You could be the next victim.

A few hours later,
judge Paulo Roberto de Azevedo Freitas

revoked his release from prison.

Immediately, the entire police force

began to search for Guilherme de Pádua.

Many people stand in front
of his building in Copacabana,

waiting for the police.

We learned that Guilherme

is at Timóteo da Costa Street, in Leblon,

and we went searching all the apartments.

The doormen were startled.

Suddenly, the doorbell rings,
it's Alexandre Frota on the intercom.

And we searched everywhere
on Timóteo da Costa.

But we did not find him.

Police searched for him in Minas Gerais,
Goiás and Rio de Janeiro.

Mid-afternoon,

he turned himself in, accompanied
by his lawyers, at the Forum in Rio.

A crowd awaited the actor
in front of the police station.

Guilherme de Pádua had to be protected
from being lynched.

Actors Mauricio Mattar
and Alexandre Frota

climbed a wall and asked
people to calm down.

Justice will be done.

The criminal is in jail. Victory!

He ended up turning himself in

because the pressure on him
was tremendous.

He wouldn't be able
to survive on the outside.

And she never came back to her house

and checked herself in a clinic.

Paula Thomaz has been hospitalized
since yesterday in this clinic.

Four months pregnant, she is on bed rest,
due to the risk of miscarrying.

A warrant for temporary remand
has been issued,

and Paula may be questioned
as soon as the doctors allow it.

According to her lawyer,

Paula is hospitalized
in a state of shock.

She is in a state of shock, sedated,

because she suffered
a huge emotional impact.

- Is she in a clinic?
- It seems so.

I went to the clinic myself,

I carried out the arrest warrant

and took her to Santa Teresa,
the women's police station.

It was a women's jail at the time.

- Murderess! Justice!
- Murderess!

Paula, why do the papers say
a lot of things...

I am very shaken.

You also confessed to crime,
is it true?

That's a lie. I never said that.

You did not take part?

I didn't confess,
I didn't give any statement.

- Murderess! Justice!
- Murderess!

She said she was innocent
but wasn't going to testify.

She had a lot of lawyers.
"I will not testify."

She was arrested and did not testify.
Only in court.

The deputy sat there
and asked all the questions,

and she said,
"I will only answer in court."

Nine days after
the murder of Daniella Perez,

the police consider the case closed.

For those in the field,
there are no closed cases.

On the contrary, it unfolds,

and, very often, just at the trial,

what is ascertained is entirely different
from the beginning.

We have Guilherme's confession
since day one.

So, there is no doubt
as to who committed the crime.

I remember my father's shock, saying,

"We need to hire a lawyer at once."

It sounds strange, right?

The girl was the victim of a brutal crime

and she needed,
on the very day she was buried,

to have someone to defend her.

When the victim is a woman,
she always plays a little part.

There is always a suggestion
that she is scheming,

that she is provocative,
that she drove the man to do it.

It is absolutely
inconceivable and revolting.

We have to stop

wondering, right?

"The woman was found in the bushes.
What was she doing there?"

It is not like that.

If it is a man, no one asks
what he was doing there.

They think he was killed
and dumped there.

But not the woman.
"What was she doing there?"

She said her marriage was over,

that her husband had assaulted her

and asked him to accompany her
because she wanted to talk to him.

In an insistent manner.

You see that they
are deputies, judges, men

who handle these laws.

They think that
there is no need to change,

that what is there is enough.

Brazil is a very prejudiced country,
very sexist,

so, every time you report it,
you talk about it,

we put one more little stone
in this construction,

which is sexist, crazy, absurd,

where you blame the victim.

- Death penalty!
- Death penalty!

Without punishment, laws will die.

The State Council
for Women's Rights

wants to remove the deputy investigating
the murder of Daniella Perez.

This version presented
by the defendant Guilherme Pádua

is a cynical, traditional
and unacceptable version.

The Committee
for Women's Affairs already existed.

I already chaired this committee.

So we started getting calls
that there was a lot of pressure.

What would the Committee do about it?

I convened a group of advisors.

They began to receive the requests.

We established a plan.

TIRADENTES PALACE - ALERJ

Summon depositions, ask for petitions,

checking and following up
the police work, the investigations,

with the Legislative branch.

Right away,

we noticed that a piece of information

remained either vague or inaccurate,

or the deputy felt it was unnecessary
to go into more detail.

For now, I am not satisfied,

but I will pass on to Dr. Cidade
who presided over the inquiry,

to search through the thousands
of questions that are floating around.

He would be able to clarify.

She continued
with the Women's Rights Commission,

the representative,
forcing a situation to show herself off.

And I kept my conduct.

These are the facts.

What I know, I know.
What I don't know, I don't know.

What happened at that moment

is that we couldn't ascertain

because we were going to do
several confrontations

and had no conditions to follow through.

They're smart,
they've been deputies for many years,

sometimes, this blunder is deliberate,

so that we won't find holes in A or B

because everybody got confused.

As for the scissors, we have no doubts
they were the murder weapon.

They used scissors?

Guilherme said so,
and it makes no difference

if it were scissors, a 45 revolver,
a dagger, a screwdriver.

He confessed.

I must say
that the police operation left some gaps.

For example, the murder weapon.

I am convinced that it was a dagger

and the defendant later said,
"I threw it into the sea."

So, what should the police do?

"Did you throw it? Tell us where.
Let's try to find it."

ESCORT KEYCHAIN

CÂNDIDO PORTINARI STREET

Why hadn't the police kept on pushing?

"Where was it? Let's go together."

The weapon, at that point,
was really important.

But more important than the weapon
was his confession.

You can't believe everything
a murderer says.

We have to rely on what he says.
I cannot...

Didn't the police have
other ways to confirm?

The case was solved.

When he confessed,

we were sure he was the perpetrator.

She did everything.

In the crime, she did everything,
preparation, cogitation.

She thought of all the ways
to commit the crime.

So you support the theory
that there was premeditation?

Totally.

From the very beginning,
the police worked not to solve the crime,

to obstruct, for him to assume it
and keep it like that.

I will read the committee's findings
on the report.

"Our work deems the sequence of blunders

as premeditated as the crime itself

we respectfully deem a major strategy

to confuse the public opinion
and the investigations."

Excuse me, but it is her opinion.

To me, there was no blunder at all.

If I may say so myself, we work well.
We solved it that very night.

She was killed around 9:30 p.m.

At 2 a.m. we had the authorship.

All of them were transferred
from the police station after that.

This information triggered
a series of news reports,

and that's where it started,

that you start to see
where your daughter is.

PRESIDENT COLLOR RESIGNS

ACTOR KILLS ACTRESS
FROM "DE CORPO E ALMA"

A telenovela scene is a telenovela scene.

You can't mix up dream with reality,

fiction with reality, you can't.

But in that case, people...
It was such a different case!

A fictional story had to be created
to keep on selling.

The crime became
a continuation of the telenovela.

It wasn't Daniella Perez
who had been killed, it was Yasmin.

The murderer was not
Guilherme de Pádua, it was Bira.

Two fictional characters live out a love

marked by the man's unhealthy,
possessive jealousy.

Outside the studio,

the same characters become involved
in a dramatic real-life scene.

You allow the audience
to make up all their fantasies.

Because you are in the realm
of the imaginary, the fictitious.

To this day, people ask me,

"But wasn't she having
an affair with him?"

"Nothing has been proven.
Quite the contrary."

This sort of thing has always
really shocked us.

Why use this image on the cover?

You plant in people's subconscious

the idea that there was
something in real life.

It is things like this

that have left a very strong feeling

in the public's imagination

that something might have happened.

This is much more aggressive
than the crime scene photos.

Much more aggressive.

This keeps killing the person.

This keeps killing the person.

I never saw this girl seducing anyone.

And she could do it, she was very pretty.

She was very kind to everyone.

There is no such thing as

keeping it a secret.

I've been working all
this time in production

and what we most hear is
"Who is hooking up with whom."

So if they had an affair,

we would certainly know about it.

There was none of that.
There's nothing like that in the records.

There was no romantic involvement,

other than in the interpretation
of his role in the telenovela.

There was a relation there,
but other than that, there was nothing.

I have never seen

the two of them talking separately,
in isolation.

And if there was something,
we would have sensed it.

Daniella was crazy in love with Raul.

It never crossed my mind.

It never crossed my mind
that Dani had an affair with the guy.

I lived with her.

I saw how she took messages
from the answering machine.

She couldn't take that guy
harassing her anymore.

That damn coward.

What people perceived was
just the opposite.

He was trying to stay close to her,

trying to reach out all the time
to take advantage.

We were commenting
on his random behavior on the set.

He would go stomping, banging doors.

I don't know if he was already
plotting something.

The truth is
that his emotional state was different.

His presence was not enjoyable.

I can't put my finger on it.

Once, I asked him, out of curiosity,

how his wife, Paula, felt

about Guilherme and Daniella's scenes
in the telenovela.

Then Guilherme told me
that Paula called her a dirty word,

enraged,
saying she was going to kill her.

He would call my landline and say,

"I really need to discuss
one scene with Dani.

Can you ask her to call me?"

"Guilherme, this is weird,
call Dani yourself."

Today, we can imagine
that he was already plotting

to make Paula more jealous.

He who was the one
who was harassing her,

I have the feeling
that he said the opposite at home.

Dani, as always, very kind, very humane,

kindly remarked
that he asked her to talk to Gloria

to write scenes for him.

He considered that losing that bet

to stay with Yasmin would be
a loss of prestige for his career,

would take away his stage,
turn off the spotlight,

because in those last few days,

she began to feel
the pressure he was putting on.

About ten days before the murder,

I was eating in the cafeteria,
and she sat at the table,

she started to eat, we were talking.

I finished.
Right then, the murderer was walking in.

She held my hand and said,
"Don't get up now. I'll explain later."

He came in, I stayed with her,
we finished eating,

we left and then she explained,

"Vanessa, it's horrible

because, under the pretext
to talk about his marriage

that isn't going well,
he keeps calling me,

he is all over me,

it's starting to create problems
for my marriage with Raul

because it's too much."

When it comes to the day of the crime,

the feeling is
that it couldn't be any other day.

He starts to surround Dani
with such insistence

that becomes visible and uncomfortable
for the people watching.

Chapter 141. Scene 5, 17, 19, 31, 3.

- Action.
- My last scene was with her.

But she had another scene later,

which I think
was Yasmin's breakup with Bira.

And I remember that Guilherme was
kind of lurking around.

He was watching the scene.
That's what I remember.

- Why break up, Yasmin?
- Bira...

I do not understand.
We are good together.

Everyone knew about this scene.

The press had already announced

that the last scene
would be the end of the relationship

of Yasmin and Bira.

DANIELLA'S LAST SCENE
FINAL EMOTIONS

He was crying at the set.

People kept staring him.

Maybe he was very moved.

He was crying at the set.

- Real tears?
- Real tears.

And he was very unsettled.

And then begins the siege
that had been going on all day.

The dressing room attendants said
he was afraid

that she would go away,
and he wouldn't notice.

The attendants recall
that Guilherme delivered,

on the day of the crime,
notes to a nervous Daniella.

She turned the note over, looked at it.
She was already nervous.

She became even more nervous.
After a while, she said,

"How can people be like that,

trying to turn a case
into something that cannot be?"

She was nervous. I asked,

"Why are you nervous? Tell me, Dani!"

She said, "Never mind!"
Then I couldn't insist.

On that day, she was,
because he kept coming to the makeup,

"Come here, let's talk."

She had to go into the hall.

People noticed.

She was fed up, "I can't take it anymore!

I can't take it anymore."

I was going to tell you last week.
I kept putting it off...

Why? I want to understand, Yasmin.

Why?

Because I'm not in love with you.

After that, he was already very shaken.

She kept shooting.

He finished earlier.

At one point, later that day,

he took me by the arm.

He used to call me Luaninha.

But that day he grabbed my arm,

"Luana! Where's Dani?"

"She is on the set."
"Are you sure?"

"I am. She is shooting."

"Are you sure?" "I am."

And his eyes were red, with tears.

He looked possessed.

By the end of the shooting,
he came here three times.

I thought he was going to come in.
I said, "Dani is not here."

She was, but I lied.

Then he went that way distressed.

He came back and stood here,
got some water.

"I was told Dani came to change."

"Yes, she is changing. Wait here."

Then the two of them left together.

That night?

That night. She was very distressed.

She must have been unconscious
because she wouldn't go there.

She was very apprehensive.
She didn't want to leave.

So she really wouldn't go.

She was very distressed.
She didn't want to leave.

She wanted someone with her
because she was really scared.

I heard her asking Marilu. Marilu said,

"No problem at all. Don't be worried.

I must take my mother to the doctor,
but go, no big deal."

She was worried.

Sandro Siqueira, the waiter Severino,
in the 8 p.m. telenovela,

came to tell the police
that he had noticed

that Guilherme de Pádua
was stalking Daniella Perez.

She was afraid of him.

But I don't think she imagined
it would come to this.

She was afraid to go home alone.

Sandro Siqueira said

he had asked Dani that day,

"Have you told your mother
that this guy is stalking you?"

And Dani said, "No, because
I don't want to harm anyone."

Then Sandro said,
"Tell her today when you get home.

If you don't,
I'll tell your mother tomorrow."

But there was no tomorrow, unfortunately.

I was completely distraught
wanting to know what happened.

I couldn't bear to see Dani
being treated like a character.

I had to rescue her,

her identity, the person she was.

The night of Dani's funeral,

I got the first phone call.

It was an anonymous phone call.

A woman saying,

"If you want to know what happened,

go to the Alvorada gas station,
next to Tycoon."

And hung up.

The employees saw the actress' car
being cut off by Guilherme's Santana.

Police investigations

keep the mystery
around the murder of Daniella Perez.

We became detectives.

The next day,
it was a group of detectives

that every day had a mission.

Important witnesses
have not been heard yet.

The police do not know
why Daniella was killed.
