If any of you native Portuguese speaking sherdoggers out there would like to give the video a watch and tell use exactly which word Paulo uses that'd help a lot.

I'm a Portuguese native speaker. Paulo said
Rohypnol® and not Rupinal. These words have different pronunciations (Portuguese language has a phonetic spelling).
Rohypnol® (Flunitrazepam) is a benzodiazepine and its use is consistent with the history Paulo told in the interview (addiction and withdrawal crisis).
Rupinal (propofol) is an anesthetic used in surgical procedures. It is usually administered by an anesthetist inside the operation room (!!).
It causes loss of consciousness a few seconds after it is injected. The consciousness is regained as soon as the infusion is interrupted.
The translation of the interview is wrong, trust me.
