Aired on January 6, 1989, the murder scene of Odete Roitman in the original version of ‘Vale tudo’ became one of the most remembered, rerun, and discussed in Brazilian television. From then on, Brazil would spend the next few days asking the same question: ‘Who killed Odete Roitman?’ The answer came on February 9, 2018, when the final chapter of the soap opera revealed that Leila (Cássia Kis) was the killer.
Before the chapter in which the villain is murdered, scenes showed conflicts between the TCA president and various characters in the plot, such as Maria de Fátima (Gloria Pires), César (Carlos Alberto Riccelli), and Heleninha (Renata Sorrah). In the original plot, Leila has a fit of jealousy and follows Marco Aurélio (Reginaldo Faria) to the apartment hotel where Odete was meeting César, imagining that her husband was having an affair with Fátima.
Upon arriving at the location, where Odete confronted Marco Aurélio about embezzlement in his company, Leila takes the villain’s gun and shoots at a figure behind the door, thinking it was Fátima, only to realize later that she had killed Odete. The original script had a different killer planned, but the ending was changed after a leaked script. Therefore, multiple endings for the murder were filmed, and only the authors and a small team knew which one would air until the moment of broadcast.
Next, Odete unexpectedly arrives at Leila’s (Cássia Kis) apartment, looking for information about Maria de Fátima’s whereabouts (Glória Pires). Upon opening the door, she comes face to face with an armed Leila. After a brief exchange of words, the villain is shot three times and falls to the ground, dead.
Audience rejects Odete’s death. In the remake, the chapter of Odete Roitman’s (Debora Bloch) death is already set for October 6. However, according to a Datafolha survey released on Wednesday night (17), only 4% of the audience wants her to be killed. The majority prefers ‘punishments’ like poverty (47%) or prison (35%).
