Pacto Brutal: O Assassinato de Daniella Perez (2022): Season 1, Episode 4 - De Onde Vieram? - full transcript

During the investigation,
pieces of evidence came to light

indicating there was a ritual.

The victim was sacrificed.

I'm not saying it was black magic.
It was a ritual.

I began compiling a dossier

looking for anyone who could tell me
who are these people

capable of doing this.

And we start to see a boy...

Lots of hazy stories began to emerge.

You'll have to pay a lot more.

If there was trouble,
Guilherme was involved.



And he punched me on stage.
That led to a huge argument.

I expected everything
but to hear the murderess say

that she hated Daniella Perez.

They began playing a blame game.

Each defendant accusing the other.

A psychopath, would kill my mother.

Ask Paula to talk more about the crime

because, after all,
she was at the scene of the crime.

I am so angry at him.
He is crazy, a psychopath.

Those stabs were for me, I know.

Unable to get to me,

he targeted my daughter,
who was closer to him.

BRUTAL PACT
THE MURDER OF DANIELLA PEREZ

POLICE



We're here at the 16th precinct,
next to this actor, Guilherme de Pádua.

You first met Daniella
at Rede Globo, in this telenovela?

- You didn't know her?
- No.

Did you flirt with her? Had an affair?

No, we never had anything,
not even a kiss. Anything!

You never had sex with her?

Never, not even a kiss.

And what got into you?
What madness was this?

Actually, I don't want
to go into details.

I think time will show best.

I just wanted to say that

I know it may seem
like an unforgivable act,

but I have a wife who is pregnant,

I have a family that I wanted to protect.

Guilherme, at first,

passed an image,
although in the face of that tragedy,

of a man concerned
with protecting his family, his wife

taking upon himself
all the responsibility.

The father's instinct,
protecting the son, the wife.

But investigations continued

because there was a suspicion
of Paula's involvement.

In 1992, it was a very different time.

Now, a homicide is hardly ever committed

without some kind of image.

There are cell phones, people's location,

today we live
in a much more monitored world.

At that time, two things were key:

testimonial evidence and expert evidence.

Personally, I think
had it not been for Hugo da Silveira

discovering the cars parked there,

writing down the license plates,

no one would have ever known
the truth about this case.

And coincidentally, on the good side,

something else happens,

a very distinct picture

of Guilherme
and Paula's wedding surfaces.

My father received
this newspaper in Porto Seguro

and he called me,

"The woman I saw in the car is
the one in the newspaper."

And now we had to prove
that he could actually

see the woman and identify her.

Especially because
the defendant's attorney asked

if he had any visual impairment.

He said, "I have old-age sight."

It was the proof of luminosity,

which was a very unusual
and rare forensic test

to verify if he could see
the woman in the vehicle.

Hugo said he drove by and saw two cars.

Guilherme turned on the car's headlight.

The light somehow flashed on her face

and Hugo could see her clearly

to the point of recognizing her later.

PROOF OF LUMINOSITY - 1993

He sees her when the car is coming
and also when the car is driving by.

Because he was on the passenger seat.

The caretaker was driving the car.

His eyesight was perfect.
He didn't hesitate to identify her.

I don't have anything to add.
I did saw Paula there.

When you saw the picture,
you were certain?

I recognized her right away.

When we received the process,

besides being caught in the act,
there was a confession,

and one person indicted.

And the confession read:
"I did it alone."

Based on Hugo's testimony,

we filed a complaint.

Not only against Guilherme,
but against Guilherme and Paula.

Upon receiving the complaint,

the judge summons
the defendants for interrogation.

Guilherme de Pádua confirms in court

that single-handedly killed
Daniella Perez

but refuses to answer
the judge's questions.

His wife, Paula Thomaz,
spoke for two hours

and stated
she did not take part in the crime.

She answered the questions

as if she was talking
about something banal,

not about the 22 year-old girl's death,

and as if she was not the defendant
in that process.

Guilherme and Paula,
separated only by a bailiff,

hugged, kissed,
and caressed each other.

Guilherme gazed at Paula's belly
and caressed it.

When Paula had not yet been indicted,

her family hired

some of the most expensive lawyers
in Rio at the time.

When it became clear
that it would not be possible

to sustain his story, leaving her out,

the lawyers disappeared.

ACTOR'S ATTORNEYS LEAVE THE CASE

From then on,
Paula is defended by famous lawyers,

and he is defended by a public defender,
which is Paulo Ramalho.

Paulo Ramalho is a young lawyer,
very combative,

that created such a turmoil.

DEFENSE KEEPS STRATEGY SECRET

RAMALHO PROMISES SURPRISES IN THE CASE

What I can assure you,
as I have been saying,

my argument is the truth,
only the truth.

DEFENSE SAYS PÁDUA DIDN'T KILL DANIELLA

PÁDUA'S ATTORNEY PREPARES
HOME PAGE ABOUT THE PROCESS

LAWYER WANTS TO FIGHT
"MEDIA MASSACRE" AGAINST MURDERER

Attorney Paulo Ramalho stated
he has a trump card

that will help the defense.

The most important evidence will be shown
at the last moment of the process.

I WILL ONLY REVEAL THE MOTIVE
FOR THE CRIME ON THE DAY OF THE TRIAL

He managed to stay in the spotlight
the whole time

because he always had
a factoid to draw attention.

I would arrive at my office
on an ordinary day,

and a reporter would come,

"Dr. Ramalho said that this and that,

that so-and-so urinated, there's blood,

there is a photo, a witness."

You don't even know what is happening,
if you can comment on,

but the press is demanding a statement.

DEFENSE SAYS IT HAS
"BOMBASTIC" VIDEO

So much so
that Paulo Ramalho had a technique.

He had a tape

giving the impression
that he had some recording,

a recorded conversation, something.

PÁDUA LAWYER ASSURES
TURNING THE TABLES WITH VIDEO

The lawyer sowed doubts,

however small it may be,
the defendant is acquitted.

The juror will have
those words in his head,

"You're going to convict
an innocent man!"

Paula?

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

After Paulo Ramalho takes the case,

there was a very long interval

where they tried to convince Paula Thomaz

to take the blame on her own,

because, being a minor and pregnant,

she could be charged
with voluntary manslaughter.

Dr. Paulo, you stated

that Guilherme gave the greatest
proof of love a man can give to a woman.

Was it Guilherme's protection
to the homicidal Paula?

What I said was,

"The love and passion that I perceive,

from Guilherme towards Paula

is one that I had not seen in real life,

I only knew it
in the sensibility of poets

and in the imagination of writers."

Later you realize
that he is talking directly to Paula.

As if reminding her
of the romantic commitments

made before that event.

I keep dreaming of Paula's freedom

because at least she could visit me.

We could, I don't know,
meet up sometimes.

I only believe in eternal love.

How can it be love if it's not eternal?

I think the case study

you see in Guilherme
all the characteristics of a psychopath.

If you ask,
"Are you sure he's a psychopath?"

I have never examined him,
but I can say one thing.

Certain crimes can only be committed
by a psychopath.

The first question I asked myself

when I saw I had to go beyond the point
the police had left off,

was obvious, "Who are these people

capable of doing this?"

I began compiling a dossier

looking for anyone who could tell me
who they were,

who socialized with them.

In his short and unremarkable
artistic career,

Guilherme de Pádua performed
in the play "Pasolini".

Guilherme played the role
of the male escort

who killed the Italian filmmaker.

He also worked on "Blue Jeans",

another play about a killer male escort.

I remember when Guilherme de Pádua came
from Belo Horizonte in his motorbike.

He traveled all night,
like Easy Rider, got there,

to audition and I found him interesting.

He auditioned, didn't know much,
but joined as supporting cast.

I won't risk myself
for this kind of money.

You must pay me a lot more.

Guilherme was kind of over the top,
he had a few screws loose.

He said things that everyone...

MAURICIO MATTAR
ACTOR, RAUL GAZOLLA'S FRIEND

On stage, he went a little overboard.

Either he cried, or laughed too much,
or was too considerate.

It was all too much.

He played a policeman,

and he arrested me
and had to beat me up, but...

It was all technical, right?
And he punched me on stage.

He punched my throat.

That led to a huge argument.

I thought I was going
to have some voice problem.

Wherever there was trouble,
Guilherme was involved.

From the bike scene,
that one day he decided

to do a different stunt

and hurt an actor on stage.

One day there was an accident
with a pocketknife with another actor.

He was the one who caused it.

That day, he took the knife,

replaced Alexandre Frota, cut Jonas.

The stagehand bought
about ten pocketknives,

almost every 15 days,
and one of my concerns,

one of my greatest concerns was

that the stagehand should
dull the blades.

Until Guilherme offers
to help the stagehand,

and then we found out
that one of the blades was not dull.

Of all the problems during the show

Guilherme was in 95% of them,
you go by the statistics.

He is the one
who brings these problems.

Since its debut in Rio,
about a month ago,

the show "Blue Jeans"
turned into a real phenomenon.

Every night is like this, check it out.
Huge lines.

The line went around the block

and there were fans watching...

One fan watched it more than 30 times.

Seven sessions a week,
500 women totally freaking out...

They screamed the entire show.

And Paula Thomaz

started coming to the theater
every night.

A somewhat unusual situation,

every night Paula Thomaz sat
at the lobby,

waiting for him almost obsessively.

A young woman who was
completely dazzled by that world,

that success, that frisson,

very fascinated by Guilherme's
career growth.

And he wanted a role.

He wanted the role of Mauricio or Fábio.

He did not want to stay in the chorus,
it was too little for him.

Then he was invited
to do something on television.

Get smart, my friend,
no woman is a prophet in her own country.

Why don't you get off my case?

I should have kept it,
I showed it to Glória,

the letter he sent me.

"I can no longer stay here.

I will become
another kind of human being,

my time for success has come.

I can't expose my ass
in 'Blue Jeans' anymore

because my ass will be worth a lot."

I got angry and tore up the letter.
It was very silly

because this letter would be
useful to get to know him better.

I wonder if anyone knows
who Guilherme is,

because Guilherme is
who he thinks appeals to you.

And then we begin to see a young man

and lots of hazy stories began to emerge.

Guilherme almost becomes a "legend".

An actor said, "Guilherme was a Leopard."

"Guilherme related this way."

It started.

LEOPARDS

Alaska Gallery, Copacabana,
South Zone of Rio.

Guilherme de Pádua was 18
when he left Belo Horizonte

and came to work here in 1988.

He started out as a model,

performing in shows and erotic plays,

in the theater here at the gallery.

Alaska Gallery is located
near Av. Atlântica

and, apart from the Alaska Theater,
there was an underground nightclub

a bit of the city cult mix,

but also mixed with prostitution.

There were hustlers, travestis,

the more discreet gays.

And it was a hustle and bustle,
that place was crazy.

In the theater at the Alaska Gallery,
there was a travesti called Eloína,

who managed to put on shows

always out of bounds.

She launched "The Leopards",
which was completely unscripted.

There was no play-writing.
It was exposure of the male nude.

It was an all-male show.

The audience was mostly
women and gay men.

The show had singing, dancing,
they did sketches,

but the climax of the show
was the finale,

when horny actors came in.

They had an erection.

It seemed there were people

just doing something to arouse the guys.

And people came who I never imagined

would come to the Alaska Gallery
to see the Leopards.

Liza Minelli came twice,

Bolshoi Ballet, Madonna,

she asked us
to close the theater to the public.

Wonderful, isn't it, folks?

Eloína, Guilherme de Pádua took part
in this show?

He was a Leopard here
at the Alaska Theater.

Come here, Valeria!
Valeria is also from here.

Have you met Guilherme de Pádua here?

He used to hustle and do programs,

and everyone knows it,
it's no use hiding anymore.

There's always a chance
of programs with homosexuals,

but it is up to each person,
whatever floats your boat, right?

Pickup lines are frequent,

but in here we are
not allowed to receive cards

or similar, in that sense.

Out there, we are free
to do as we please.

This is a person who, as we know,

married out of interest
to get ahead in life.

This is his life story, it is documented.

"I'VE NEVER BEEN A LEOPARD"

First, I was not a Leopard!
I was not Leopard.

- There's nothing wrong.
- I agree, but I wasn't.

The press knows I wasn't.

There is no problem, but they use it,

"A gay show." "He's a hustle."

A person who denies,

tries to deny his past,
but there is no way.

A person who has serious
problems with homosexuals.

I think it is a cowardice

to try to tarnish my image,
me, a confessed murderer.

Then they say,
"He's homosexual, isn't he?"

What does he mean?

Being a killer is fine.

He is perfectly comfortable in this role.

What is unbearable, inadmissible
is to be called a homosexual.

Impressive. It is chilling.

Here in Rogéria's dressing room,

which is kind of a sanctuary for her,
before she enters the stage

in the show "The Leopards".

She says, "If anyone knows
Guilherme de Pádua, it's me."

We rehearsed for two months
the play "Querelle", by Jean Genet.

I got along very well with him,
but I always saw him as a careerist.

Did he show, Rogéria?

We can feel it.
Don't you know Rogéria is crazy? I know!

He never chatted with me,
but I didn't chat with them either.

This Paula went to Rogéria's show.

She was a fan of Rogéria.

A girl hit her once
inside Alaska Gallery.

Troublemaker.

At 18 years old, banned
from entering the Alaska Gallery

because she confronted
women with bottles.

Two days before the crime,
Paula was in this beauty salon

and told everyone
that she was very jealous.

"Is he jealous like
he portrays on television?"

She said, "He is jealous."
And I asked, "What about you?"

"I don't watch the telenovela
to avoid getting upset."

When I left Teresópolis
for Rio de Janeiro,

I studied at Pinheiro Guimarães,
in Copacabana,

and, in my class,
I met Paula and Guilherme.

I knew that Guilherme and Paula
had dated before.

At that time, they were broken up.

Then I noticed Paula's affection for me,

looking to have something with me.

We got engaged.
It was a very quick engagement.

Her father wanted to buy an apartment.

Over time, I felt
that Paula was very possessive,

and I broke up with her.

We were there in Copacabana,

and I said, "I'm leaving.

I can't live with you like this.

I don't care what your father can buy.

I'm free. I will buy what I want
with my own work.

I'm leaving for Teresópolis."

She threw herself in front of a bus.

My reflexes kicked in.
I pulled her by the hair.

As soon as I let go, she fainted.

Very high emotional imbalance.

When we fought, during an argument,

she would scratch me,
with such aggressiveness.

Later, she started to go out
with both of us.

I started to have relations with her
when I came to Rio,

and I know that Guilherme
was up for anything.

He said in the classroom,

"I will do whatever I have to do,

sexually, with anyone, anything,

I will do to get where I want."

I think one fed the other because
they were both power-hungry.

One, for a power to be
on the other side of the camera.

And the other, for being
behind the camera, right?

And the hunger for power
of whoever is behind

is even greater
than that of who is in front.

The power of manipulation is greater.
The power to subdue is greater.

The link between the two of them

is totally ritualistic.

You see

that it starts
with a tattoo on their private parts,

which is a hard to imagine,

and is consecrated in a murder for two.

It's very ritualistic.
The way it is done.

The tattoo artist said today in Rio that,

ten days ago, actor Guilherme
de Pádua and his wife, Paula,

came to him to get tattooed.

The actor wanted to have his wife's name
tattooed on his penis,

which was done.

Another tattoo with the actor's
name was done on Paula's groin.

CORPUS DELICTI EVIDENCE (BODILY INJURY)

TATTOO LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE PENIS
CONSISTING OF THE WORD PAULA

WRITTEN FROM THE END
TO THE BASE OF THE PENIS

A man who does, days before,

a tattoo with the wife's
name on his penis,

and she does his name in her groin,

and, in less than two weeks,
they commit this type of murder,

in that place, in these conditions.

It is a ritual.

I'm not saying it was black magic.
It was a ritual.

It was premeditated. It had a reason.

Each in their obsession,
in their psychopathy,

with no limits, so they did it.

During the investigation,
pieces of evidence came to light

indicating there was a ritual.

First there was evidence
that both of them

had certain ritualistic habits

linked to some kind
of exotic religion.

When a person chooses to take this path,

which is an absurd path,

condemned by every religion
and spiritist belief,

the first thing to be done is a pact.

You make a pact with that evil entity.

It can be Mammon.

I can be Beelzebub.

Lucifer himself.

Then you will have its symbol.

Any type of symbology, Old Black Man,
even an image of Jesus Christ.

What matters is that it is hollow,

because you will put things inside

related to the evil image
you are associated with.

Then it started. He brought
an image of a saint and put it up.

An image of a saint
at the dressing room.

I don't remember which one.

I said I didn't agree.

We shared a dressing room,

and it wasn't right
because I respected all religions.

He had that image covered.

Then he would uncover it,
kneel down, say a few prayers and stuff.

And his wife went
to this "Blue Jeans" show.

She went almost every other day
to watch the play.

She carried a female saint.

She had a pillow
with a saint on top like that.

She watched the play
with a huge thing here,

that she put in Mauricio's dressing room.

She opened the backpack,

as if for the image to watch the show,

or do something, I don't know.

Honestly, I didn't understand.

But I was kind of freaked out
by that behavior.

Luzinete, Paula
and Guilherme's maid, also testified.

She said that the Old Black Man image

was broken by Guilherme's mother,

and he had been nervous
the last few days.

There is a moment
when the judge asks about the image,

which was said to be the Old Black Man,
but we know it was not,

as it is understood
by the Umbanda religion.

And she says that has
nothing to do with the matter.

That's how she answers the judge.

EXPERTS ADMIT THAT THEY COMPRISED
ONE OR MORE IMAGES

OF A RELIGIOUS ENTITY, KNOWN
IN UMBANDA AS OLD BLACK MAN.

TOGETHER WITH THE FRAGMENTS THERE WERE
PARTS OF AN INCENSE, BEANS,

SMALL RED BEADS, FRAGMENTS OF A TELEGRAM
AND OTHER PIECES OF PAPER.

And he wore a little strap.

He wore it on his head.

Red and white. A little strip.

When I tried to take it off,
he said not touch it.

"But why? I have to do your hair."

"Because my body is closed,

Father Chicão said
I can't take it off, it protects me."

It can be ok.

It is your religion,
whatever you want to believe,

but I think we have to be very careful.

There's Candomblé, there's Umbanda.

There are many proper religions,

but there's black magic and crazy people,

who use something to do evil

because they are wicked.

EVIDENCE OF VIOLENT DEATH SCENE

The examination of the site
where the victim was found dead,

also had unusual characteristics.

There was a circle on the ground,

which was burned
a week, fifteen days before.

Secondly, there was a small bush.

It was the last full moon night

that last Monday of the year, full moon.

You must have the right time,
the right moon,

and the right tree.

The reason for the circle:

to trap the energy inside

so it is directed towards
that very entity.

A lock of Dani's hair had been cut.

Her wedding ring disappeared.

At the time of delivery,

you will remove an adornment.

It can be a finger, an ear,
it can be anything, hair,

which you must put on
and take it with you.

The body has to be stretched out,
belly up, with arms outstretched.

That's the ritual.

The location of the strokes,
all placed together near the heart.

Twelve blows to the heart.

They were not in the belly, the abdomen,

in the neck, the carotid artery,
during in a fight.

The victim was sacrificed.

On Daniella Perez's grave, people tagged:
"Why fear if, in end, it is death?"

Here, they left another sentence,
which has not yet been erased,

"Death is not the end,
it is the beginning of a new life."

And a name, "Daniella."

Constantly, since the event,

almost every week
we were called a couple of times

because someone had tried
to open the tomb.

Every day there were reports,
it was hell,

they broke tombstone,
tried to remove the bones...

And the family bones, from Dani's father,

once they were found on the ground,
or some other stuff.

You have no respite, no rest,
even there on the grave,

there is an aggression.

And then my aunt said,
"We have to take Dani out of there."

Dani's grave was close
to the edge of the cemetery,

and then we bought a grave
next to the cemetery administration.

But when we got
there for the exhumation,

the coffin, which was varnished,

was green, completely green.

The color was different.

I began to think that they had switched,
that it wasn't her coffin.

I said, "It's not hers, open it!

I want to see.
I want to see if it's her."

I screamed so hard they opened it.

I threw myself on top of the coffin
and saw that it was her.

She was there,

half decomposed,

but with the white dress
in which she was buried.

I did nothing, just looked at her.

And I saw her just like she was
on the day I buried her.

Just the same.

That was the moment
when I saw the most pain in her.

She grabbed the coffin and screamed.

She was sobbing
and gave a loud cry, very loud.

I wanted to hold her in my arms.

Then I realized
I was the one who needed to be held.

I remember saying to Sandra,
"Sandra, she looks just the same."

And Sandra said, "No, she's not."
I said, "She is, I saw it."

And I never mentioned it again
and don't want to. I saw.

I gave her ballet shoes to a sculptor

and put them there.

I used my father's name,

so there would be no connection

in the false idea
that nobody would know where she is.

So, all over again, right?

The suffering continues. It did not stop.

They started going there again,
breaking it again,

until in 1999,

someone left a note,

specifying the date and time
and that they would get her out of there.

I got desperate.

"I won't leave her here.
She will not stay here."

It was the last days of 1999.

We took her to Santa Casa,

she was put in a safe

so that we could move Dani
later to another place,

but the transfer could only be done
after New Year's Eve.

It was really painful for me

because it was New Year's Eve 2000,

that my entire generation has
always fantasized about,

"How will we be in the year 2000?"

And Dani too.
How will she be in the year 2000?

Right?

And she spent the year 2000
in a safe at Santa Casa.

When I went to pick her up at Santa Casa,

it was an urn.

A little box like that.

I took it,
and then a strange thing happened.

I sat in a chair holding the urn

while they took care of the papers.

And without realizing, I was like this,

rocking the urn, because it was her.

Even in that form, it was her.

Do you understand?

Then, each of us kissed the box,
and she stayed there.

Until today.

I believe Daniella went somewhere.

I think she went...

That she's fine,
better than those down here

because here sucks,
the world is getting worse every day.

We try to be happy,
but not for each other.

Everyone is flawed.
Life is a countdown.

In the Água Santa prison,

he seemed happy

to have his name in the media,

even if it were in the police news.

One way or another,
he was in the media, he was popular.

And be popular was all he ever wanted.

When a psychopath enters
the prison system, what happens?

He has no feelings,
therefore he does not suffer.

And he will always be known
as the boss and the most famous.

In his view,
he was the most famous in there.

In 1994, I was arrested.

I went to buy a joint,

but the police stormed in,
bullets everywhere, and I got shot.

And when I was transferred to Polinter,

I was still very weak from the wound.

The police didn't want to take me
to the doctor.

"There's a male nurse here."

I recognized him right away.

It was Guilherme de Pádua.

It was something very surreal.

He had become something of a celebrity.

People wanted autographs,
wanted to talk to him.

Fans went to visit him,

pastors, politicians

wanting to, somehow, leverage his fame.

He was like,
"Man, I get like 50 letters a day.

I can't read them all."

Marriage proposals from women.

Marriage proposal from men
because he was a Leopard.

Most of them were from women
wanting to marry him.

It was totally surreal.

But I remember that,
one of the things I asked him,

how was his stay there,

because, after all, that was considered

one of the worst prisons in Brazil.

And he answered me totally at ease,

I will never forget,

"I am very well here.

I wake up every day, I work out.

I am very well treated.

To be honest,
I found my environment."

He never spoke of Paula, never said,

"I'm dying to get out and see
my wife and son." Never.

He spoke of himself.

It was "me, me, me" all the time.

Paula is here,
in Polinter's women's lockup.

We will try to find a strategic spot
to show Paula there.

At this moment,
Paula Thomaz can be seen there.

She is wearing a green shirt
and eating right now.

I had an acquaintance

who was a drug user.

And she had no relatives,
no father, no mother, no one.

And I visited her
because she was pregnant.

I used to bring her medicine, food.

The same prison
where Paula Thomaz was, in Niterói.

She had inmates working for her,

even hair removal.

There was an inmate

who was paid by Paula's father
to clean her "quarters".

She had the key to the room
where she was being held.

And she locked it at night.

A 20-inch television
with remote control, laser sound,

a shelf where she had an image
of Our Lady of Copacabana.

Then there was the whole issue
her son's birth,

the son stayed there.

A renovation was done at Polinter

so that she could stay
with her son there.

I visited Polinter

and there I attended two parties,

Paula's father birthday

and Paula and Guilherme's son birthday,
who lived with his mother

for a year and a half,
one year and eight months.

FORMER INMATE GESEBEL
CONFIRMS REPORTS

An inmate named Gesebel reported it,

that she had gone out
to meet Guilherme de Pádua at a motel.

It seems like it was usual
for her to get out of jail.

It's all about money, man.

For the right price,
you get whatever you want, you know?

That's how it works, unfortunately.

Shortly afterward, Paula Thomaz gives
a bombastic interview to SBT.

Check out the news report
that triggered Guilherme's outrage.

Now, under these circumstances,

he and his lawyer are realizing
that if he does that...

First, he would write me letters,

saying that I was a minor
and my sentence would be short,

and I had to help him.

Then I said no, and he got angry.

He is going to run for office.

- Who?
- Guilherme.

- Where?
- In Minas, he wants to be a hero,

He said the coat was torn,

and I should say Guilherme held me,
I had the scissors,

A big man like that,

two women, one pregnant
and the other skinny fighting.

One kills the other,
and he does nothing?

I punch her with the scissors,
and he does nothing?

What was he doing there?

Over time, we felt that those versions,

the behaviour of Guilherme
would not keep.

Because it finally hit him.

He was going to assume the blame.
He was abandoned by everyone.

She would be free as a bird,

and he would spend
20 or 30 years in jail.

Next, Guilherme de Pádua's response
to the accusations of Paula Thomaz.

When I told my mother
I would take all the blame for the crime,

so I'm saying it here now, without fear,
aware of what I'm doing,

that I wasn't there alone.

Don't ask me any questions now.
Ask them later.

I told my mother the following,

crying desperately

that my wife might die in jail

and that I was more mature
to survive in that environment.

Ask Paula to talk more about the crime.

Because, after all,
she was at the scene of the crime.

They began playing a blame game.

Each defendant accusing the other.

That's when the couple began to dissolve

because they could
no longer back the story.

Guilherme de Pádua,
who confessed earlier,

says that his wife,
Paula Thomaz, killed the actress.

Paula was at the crime scene

and can provide
many answers and clarifications.

Paula says that Guilherme
is solely responsible

for the murder of actress Daniella Perez

and that he had also planned
to poison her parents.

We have a partial
community property regime.

He wanted full,
he was going to kill my parents.

The only thing I didn't expect
was to lose esteem

for the person I loved so much
and who gave me a son.

Lawyer Carlos Machado will
present the second version of the story,

claiming that Paula was not
at the scene of the crime.

Paula dealt the blows
that killed Daniella

and claimed to have done so

to try to make it
look like that it was an attack by a fan,

a fanatic, deranged person.

GUILHERME: PAULA CONFESSED THE CRIME

PAULA: GUILHERME IS A CYNIC AND A COWARD

The killer confessed
but now recants his confession.

Now it was neither of them.
It wasn't him, it wasn't her.

Soon they will say
that my daughter stabbed herself,

ambushed herself at a gas station,

threw herself in the bushes
to harm the two angels.

We were in a cell.

He showed me how he restrained Daniella.

He held me by the neck like this.

Then he says that when he grabbed her,

Daniella fainted, and Paula stabbed her.

He said, "It wasn't me.

The person in charge,

who planned everything, was my wife.

I was just an instrument
used by her to commit the crime."

And her version was always the same,
she wasn't there.

She "forced me", to take her

because she didn't believe
I was faithful to her.

She thought I had, or still had,

or that I would someday
have an affair with Daniella Perez.

By the time Paula Thomaz is inserted
into the crime,

you have to explain her motivation.

That's when this affair story comes in.

Previously, Dani was harassing him,

but he was happily married
and wanted nothing of the sort.

In this new version,
there might be something between the two.

He was very vague about it,
"might have had, had, could have."

Were you involved before?

We had an involvement.

Unfortunately, we had.

But lasted until the last day?

Excuse me,
but the deal was 5:15 p.m.

- Hold on.
- No.

Then Paulo Ramalho releases the factoids.

He began telling what was on the tape.

GUILHERME'S DEFENDER SHOWS VIDEO TAPE

It was supposeddly
a recording at a barbecue

where he would prove

that Daniella knew Guilherme de Pádua
before the telenovela.

And that they would have dated,
something like that.

DEFENDER MAY HAVE TAPE
SHOWING DANIELA WITH GUILHERME

He says he has
an eyewitness to all of that,

the German director
of the film "Via Appia".

- I speak German.
- Oh, yes.

Berlin, München, Copenhagen,
Koln, Dusseldorf.

The judge ordered that
the interrogation be translated

and sent to Germany,

so that the German director
could be heard.

But no one could find him,
and the process was stalled.

Is the testimony
of the German director essential?

If it wasn't, I wouldn't have enlisted.

Is it a defense tactic
to extend the deadlines?

If you use "tactic"
in a pejorative sense, no.

I do not intend to use any immoral,
unethical or illegal means,

to prolong the process.

I decided to search for him.

Norma, Raul's mother,
got a copy of this film.

With the credits,

I managed to locate
a man called Renato Drumont.

Renato talked to the director
over the phone,

who was appalled by the story.

He said he only saw Guilherme de Pádua
at the film's shooting

and didn't know who Daniella was.

He saw her picture,
had never seen her there,

and did not witness anything.

Then Paulo Ramalho stopped
talking about the director.

He had a compromising tape,
but it was another one.

DEFENSE TRUMP CARD REMAINS A SECRET

GLORIA PEREZ DOESN'T BELIEVE IN
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE VIDEO TAPE

When those two broke up,

the couple of murderers,
when they broke up,

he decided to formalize the story
by writing a book.

In the tapes sent to me

by some journalists
who interviewed him in prison,

he talks a lot about the book.

I am writing compulsively,

a lot of things that were going on,
things that happened.

And I relived many things.

It was interesting
because I could evaluate,

I suffered a lot too.

Do you talk in this book
about the crime, what happened that day,

at Cândido Portinari Street?

Yes, I speak about everything.

Both the defense and the prosecution
will have a field day with this book.

GLOBO WILL SHAKE IN THEIR BOOTS

This book is very meaningful

because it reveals a lot
about his personality.

It doesn't reveal much
about the crime itself,

but it reveals a lot about him.

The thing that outraged me the most

is when he tells that when he got home
after the crime,

while Paula is asleep,

he masturbates in the shower,

thinking about what had just happened.

We see this in many criminals.

And in him, you clearly see
how the murder

could be a trigger to eroticism.

When you read this book,

it also reveals a lot
about their motivation.

His anxiety about being successful,

his fear of being
cut from the telenovela,

all this is very clear in the book.

I was also doing research at the time,

some street research for Glória.

"Ask people what they want me
to do with character so-and-so."

Then, one day, he came up behind me
and asked,

"Has Glória told you to survey

who the audience want Yasmin
to end up with?"

I said, "No."

"But she will ask.

Because I'm sure Bira will win."

There was one thing
I found very strange,

a poll he used to take

about who should end up
with her character,

whether with him or Fábio Assunção.

The truth is that he could not conceive
the end of the story as it should be.

Fábio Assunção was the
character in the relationship with her.

He wanted to change
the ending of the telenovela.

He wanted to change the story trajectory.

- Why break up, Yasmin?
- Bira.

I do not understand.
We're in a good place.

I was going to talk to you last week.

I think there were several triggers

for this desire for revenge
to take hold of him.

And that's where
the final trigger comes in.

The character Bira did not appear
in two chapters.

He went into the production room upset

to know why he was
out of so many scenes,

why he had almost
no scenes in this block,

demanding Glória's phone number.

Even our executive producer
at the time said,

"Don't freak out.

You're crazy, the synopsis always read

that Yasmin will end up with Caio."

"You will not give me her number?"
"No, we won't."

And he left very upset.

For the first time
in a hundred-odd chapters,

or ninety-odd,

there had never been a day
with no scenes with Bira.

That week, of six chapters,
from Monday to Saturday,

had two chapters without Bira.

I got more insecure because she was
the author's daughter.

She even helped with the plot.

So, I was very anxious
to talk to Daniella that day

because I wanted
to know what was going on.

Maybe he went into a loop

thinking it was a conspiracy against him.

Because every narcissist

thinks he is better
than what others think.

Even wronged in this sense.

"I'm so much better than the others.
Why doesn't anyone recognize?"

He says in this book

that if his character
didn't end up with Yasmin,

it would be due to a policy
from Globo's top management.

GUILHERME DE PÁDUA
DAYS BEFORE THE CRIME:

I WOULD DO ANYTHING
FOR BIRA STAY WITH YASMIN

I think he went too far

with his pressure over Dani

and was afraid
she would tell me and her husband.

And that's why he thought
his career was over.

POLINTER PRISON - NITERÓI

I expected everything
but to hear from the murderess' mouth

that she hated Daniella Perez,

that she was spoiled.

This was all said by Paula.

She was talking to another inmate.

The two of them were talking
about the crime.

She said that she stabbed her
with a dagger first.

It wasn't scissors.

A stab

and he took it from her
wanting to get it over with

and did the rest.

She said she gave the first blow,
which was inside the car,

and helped him to pull her out
and throw her in the bushes.

They wanted to pretend

it was a crazy fan who killed her.

Then the inmate asked her,
"And how did you do it?"

"She was unconscious,

that bitch, motherfucker.

I wanted her to wake up.

I did everything to wake her up,
beating her.

Guilherme hit her
to put her inside the car.

She passed out.
And didn't wake up anymore."

Did everything to wake her up

because she wanted her
to see him killing her,

but she failed.

Hit her in the face. Tried everything.

Hit her in the face, shook her,
tried to wake her up, she didn't wake up.

Then the inmate asked her
if she had regretted the crime.

She said no, she didn't regret it.

If she could, she would revive her
and kill her a thousand times.

And Paula saying that she hated her

because she believed
that her husband was cheating,

but later the husband convinced her
he was not,

that they never had anything,

that he was trying to find a way
to establish himself at Globo

and Daniella didn't accept.

And his hatred increased.

And he said: "I was stupid, I messed up.

I should have taken the mother,
The daughter is very snooty,

stuck-up, in love with that guy.

I should have gone after the mother."

If you ask me if I blame myself,

I blame myself.

Rationally, I know
I should not blame myself,

but when you are a mother,
you think you have superpowers,

that you should have guessed.

How did you not guess?
How did you not foresee?

But those stabs were for me, I know.

Unable to target me,

he targeted my daughter,
who was closer to him.

I spent years, that I always
thought would be wonderful,

in this fight that never ends.

It was a horrible, cruel crime,

two identified killers,

and I had to wait for that trial.

I could not mourn her.

It is really necessary
to have a time for mourning,

but I haven't

because I had to keep alert
to defend Dani

and to contribute to the trial.

Do you believe
the trial will begin this year?

Depends on justice.

As for me, if Guilherme is allowed
to exercise all his rights

to bring the fundamental evidence
to the process,

he can be tried at any time.

As long as justice obstructs
the defense from doing its full work,

I will appeal to the last instance.

By May 1993, with the arrests maintained,

the trial could have occurred.

But he was tried in January 1997,

and she, in May 1997.

And the trial begins.

The most anticipated trial of the decade.

His trial was very exhausting.

Anything could happen,

it could be paused any time.

Guilherme just stood up and performed.

There were very tense situations
between the judge

and his lawyer, Paulo Ramalho.

Your Honor, this citizen has
just called me a son of a bitch.

I will not tolerate this.

And then, jurors, Daniella's body,

lifeless, appears in that vacant lot.

Guilherme and his ex-wife, Paula
Thomaz didn't even look at each other.

The only thing I have to say

is that today is
the most important day of my life.

I said: "Damn, there's a fence this low,

and she is 30 feet away from me."

I calculated, "If I jump it,
nobody will catch me."

The trial is fixed.

He looked at him, he turned around
and said, "son of a bitch!"

Perverse, coward and cruel.

IVANA CRESPAUMER'S ALLEGATION
RESONATED IN THE PRESS

AND BECAME YET ANOTHER VERSION
OF THE CRIME TOLD AT THE TIME.

WHAT SHE STATED WAS NOT
CONSIDERED BY THE PROSECUTION,

WAS NOT PROVEN BY THE INVESTIGATION
NOR DOES IT CORRESPOND

TO THE RESULT OF THE PROCESS.
