DEVIL'S ADVOCATE

EPISODE 7

We're sorry, the number you have reached is not in service.

Please call at a later time.

We're sorry, the number you have reached is not in service.

Please call at a later...

-Are you trying to kill me? -No, I swear, I'm not.

Why would I kill you?

Then why was there a knife in the bathroom?

I hid it when I heard you knocking on the door.

I was going to commit suicide.

I don't believe you.

I swear to you.

I'm seeing a psychiatrist. You know that I'm unwell and receiving treatment.

Why were you standing by the rice container?

What are you hiding from me?

I'm not hiding anything.

I can't believe you.

You're driving me insane, Dalal.

How am I supposed to sleep?

How am I supposed to relax when you're acting so weird?

You're worrying me.

Nothing between us is right.

Give me the knife.

Give me the knife so I can kill myself and get it over with.

Give me the knife!

My life with you has been a huge mistake.

I don't want you in my life and I don't want to be with you.

I want to die and get it over with.

Your father's spirit haunts us wherever we go.

Do you need a hand?

No, no, I'm fine. Go sit down and take care of Yaqub.

Oh, really? You've chosen to name him Yaqub by yourself?

Yeah, why not? What's wrong with Yaqub? It's a nice name.

It is nice, but I had the name Wael in mind.

-Wael? -Yeah.

What do you mean, Wael?

Wael? With blond hair? It doesn't suit him.

-What do you mean? -Never mind, just go and relax.

Okay, make sure you do a good job painting.

-I'm trying to... -What's this?

No, not like that.

-How? -Like this.

I was trying my best. I don't mean to tire you out.

Do it in the same direction.

-Oh, I get it. -That's it. No, like this.

It's not the same shade though.

ARRIVALS

Welcome back. It's good to see you.

Is it, how did I know you'd traveled or how did I know you'd arrive today?

Both.

Through my own investigations.

I've become something of an expert, you know.

You left suddenly and switched off your phone for months?

When you disappeared all of a sudden,

at first, I was upset,

but over time, it only got worse and I felt like I was suffocating.

It was inexplicable. I yearned for you.

I felt lost and didn't know what to do.

Some days when I searched for you everywhere but couldn't find you,

I'd get angry at you.

I thought, how could she make me feel so attached and then just disappear?

I thought you wanted to show me you didn't need a man,

that you're strong and can get over anything alone.

You'd make any man happy.

You've taught me the power of love,

and the intensity of passion and feelings.

I love you, Loulwa.

I love you like I've never loved anyone before.

I love you so much and want to share my life with you.

Why are you so quiet? Say something.

My dad wasn't the only reason I disappeared.

I disappeared because I was afraid...

afraid I'd fall in love with you, Bader.

I haven't come back because I'm stronger.

I've come back because I'm even weaker.

I didn't want to admit that I loved you then,

but now I'm telling you that I love you

and I want you by my side.

I hope they're both happy.

Look.

AL-ARABI STAR BADER KHALED WEDS HIS ATTORNEY, LOULWA RASHED

You thought he would stay single?

Of course he was going to remarry.

He got to know her

and married her.

Let him live his life.

See, I was right.

If he loved her, he wouldn't remarry. It hasn't even been a year.

What crime has the man committed, dear?

Blasphemy? A sin?

God permitted him to marry four women.

He can marry four women if he wants.

What has he done wrong? He has only remarried.

Let them live their lives together.

Well, I don't want him getting rid of my daughter's stuff.

That's fine. No problem.

I'll bring all of her belongings, I promise. Don't worry.

Just...

wish him good luck and a happy life,

and pray for our daughter, that she may rest in peace

and that God may grant her heaven.

Mom?

If someone did something wrong but regretted it,

and asked God for forgiveness, would God forgive him?

Yes, dear, of course, but on one condition,

that they don't make the same mistake again.

-Why, honey? Did you do something wrong? -No, Mom.

I know my daughter wouldn't do anything wrong.

I want to tell you something.

I don't want you talking to Bader again.

I mean, it was fine when you were kids.

But now that you've grown up and become an adult,

I don't want you talking to him, all right?

May God rest your soul, Dalal...

and grant you heaven...

and may He avenge whoever betrayed you.

...is the greatest human connection.

A friend you can trust is a source of safety and support,

and is someone you can confide in.

True friendship is based on trust,

but you can't trust just anyone with your secrets...

Very nice.

May uncle Rashed rest in peace.

If he were alive, he wouldn't be happy with what you're doing.

Marrying a murderer?

It's none of your business.

It's my life and my choice.

Look after your wife and baby so you don't lose it,

like you did your first child.

It hurts, right?

You can't deny it...

because you know it's true.

You can't play with people's feelings.

My heart died the day you turned my life upside down.

Now I put myself first and do what I want.

My late father knew I needed love in my life,

so I could live again.

God rest his soul.

-Hello. -Hi.

-Good to see you, Bader. -Welcome, Uncle.

Thank you.

-How are you? -I'm fine. Do come in.

Bader, I'm not the type to blame or point fingers.

Not at all. You're still young and you have your whole life ahead of you.

You're entitled to remarry and start a family with another woman.

It's entirely your right,

but Dalal's mother was saying, since you're getting married again...

and starting a family,

you won't need Dalal's clothes and stuff,

so she asked me to come and collect them for her.

I'm sure...

At least I feel

that my daughter Dalal would be happy for you.

Thank you, Uncle.

Honestly, I don't know how best to say this,

but have you ever wanted to go back in time

so that you could change certain things in the past

in order to be at peace?

She was 17 years old,

and Bader was a year older than her.

He said that he was 18 years old when his father disappeared.

Bader's mother was admitted to the psychiatric hospital

at the same time for about 15 years.

Dalal's father said they met as they were neighbors at the time.

No one knows where his father was.

Nor did anyone report him as missing.

Walid, I want all the information we have on Bader's father.

Sure.

So choose your close friends wisely and beware of malicious friends.

I'll see you in the next video and don't forget to subscribe

and turn on notifications.

Now our dish of the day is done, enjoy your meal.

Today's advice is on friendship.

FARM 34B, WAFRA, KUWAIT

I ran some checks on your father and found this farm still in his name.

I checked with passport control and he hasn't traveled in a long time.

His passport expired more than ten years ago,

and neither you nor you mom renewed it.

He's not in debt or wanted by any of the authorities.

So, I came to check on him myself.

Why did you come here?

Because the farm is in his name.

No, I'm not coming in...

unless he invites me in himself.

My dad's not here, but please, after you.

-You have the key? -Yeah, I have it.

-Are you sure he isn't inside? -You can check for yourself.

How is it your father's been missing for so long and you don't seem concerned?

There's been no sign of him for more than 15 years.

Your father disappeared after your mother went insane,

and neither of you reported him as missing.

This makes me suspect you've done something

and have tried to cover it up.

My father always threatened to abandon us,

so we expected to find him gone one day.

Mr. Yousef,

not every father who disappears from his son's life deserves to be searched for.

Sometimes it's a blessing in disguise.

Every family has secrets.

You don't live with us nor do you know our struggles.

I've opened the gate but it seems you don't have a search warrant.

Please, if you have no further concerns or questions,

then I've got to go, it's the night of my wedding.

Excuse me.

How is that possible?

Your old friend is getting married and she didn't invite you?

She's completely changed since Bader entered her life.

Loulwa always disappears after a trauma

and doesn't face reality.

Loulwa always puts on a brave face and doesn't show her emotions,

when really she's weak and avoidant.

That's why she runs away.

Weird. She wasn't like that before.

She used to be warm and friendly.

If I said "I love you" to her, she'd cry.

I didn't expect this of her.

As soon as she returned to Kuwait, the first person she met was Bader?

Yousef, there have been a lot of things Loulwa's done recently

that have made me question her.

Especially her lying about being with Bader on the day the maid died.

-She wasn't with Bader? -No, she was with Bader...

-but I feel something isn't right. -What is it?

So you think the case of Bader's father and Dalal's case are somehow connected?

There has to be some connection.

Bader has many question marks surrounding him,

but the problem is I have no evidence.

Dalal had all the answers but she's dead, God rest her soul.

She took all the secrets with her to her grave. I can't let go of it...

until I discover all the secrets.

Don't you want to get out of here?

You know I've gotten married, right?

Yes, dear, you mentioned.

Don't you want to attend my wedding?

You missed the first one, you want to miss this too?

You know my situation, dear. I didn't choose to leave you.

Try, Mom. Try.

I really don't like the idea of you staying here.

Let's get you out of here.

Come back home and live with me.

No, dear.

It's safe here.

And being with me isn't safe?

He won't leave me alone, dear.

I'm telling you, he won't leave me alone.

He even comes to me every night in my sleep.

He comes and fights with me and he threatens me, my dear.

He's dead, Mom.

I buried him myself.

-Why are you... -Stop! Get out of my way!

You jackass! Get back, I'll show him!

I'll show you what's right!

Mom! Mom!

Move!

-Please, Dad. Please! -Take that!

You're crazy.

I let you speak your heart out yesterday,

but I haven't yet let out what's in my heart.

You're the crazy one if you think you can get rid of me that easily.

If I do let it out, you know what could happen.

They're lovely.

You deserve much more.

-Thank you so much. -It's nothing.

White?

Like the color of your heart.

What's wrong with you, dear?

-Please, call an ambulance. -Sure.

-Call an ambulance. -I'm calling.

Bear with me. Hello? Hello? Hello?

No, I'm still at the office. I lost track of time.

Hold on.

Hold on, Mom.

I'll speak to you later, okay? No problem. I'll speak to you later.

I called you a million times. Where have you been?

My phone was on silent in my bag. Why, what's wrong?

Listen, I can't talk. I've got to go. See you there.

Okay, bye.

When I called you around 8:30, I could hear a car engine.

I've known you for ages.

I know that you don't put your phone on silent or in your bag.

It's always in your hand.

My name's Dalal and I've come to see how you are.

-How did I get here? -I brought you to the hospital.

-Why? Why? -Calm down, dear.

Whatever it is you're going through, you've got this.

-I wanted to die! I wanted to die! -Calm down, dear. Calm down.

Nurse! Nurse!

-Hello? -Hello.

The father of the lady you rescued wants to speak to you.

Hello, I hope you're well.

We can't thank you enough for what you've done.

It's nothing, sir. May God protect your daughter.

Thank you so much. I need a favor, if I may.

Please, keep this between us. We don't want anyone finding out.

We're a well-known family and we don't want this news to spread.

No problem, sir.

I'm the same age as her and I totally understand.

Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.

Fate led me to you so I could help you.

-How do you feel now? Better? -I'm tired of life.

I'm tired from what I've seen.

Everyone's let me down, even my own self.

Don't you have any friends?

My mom gets her own way with everyone, even my dad.

Can you believe how stubborn she is?

She embarrassed Bader and offended him without thinking twice.

It's only because she loves you.

No, no. My mom always makes me do what she wants.

Because she cares, Dalal.

My mother drives me crazy.

She sticks her nose into everything,

the way I walk, the way I dress, what I'm studying.

She's not happy with anything I do.

"Dalal, dress appropriately. Dalal, go to such-and-such a place."

It's unbelievable. Why does she insist on controlling me?

After her death and the strange things that happened in my life...

I decided to become a new person.

A new Loulwa,

who only loves and cares for herself.

You're driving me crazy, Dalal. Just tell me!

Come on, guess what it is.

-I've got no idea. -Good news.

-You've won the lottery? -No.

Soccer star Bader Khaled proposed to me. Can you believe it?

Really? That's wonderful.

Yes, babe. You know, you have to be secretive about such things,

and me and Bader have liked each other since childhood.

He loves me and said the wedding will be soon.

As friends, there are no secrets between us, remember?

I'm telling you now.

No one will steal him from you, dear.

-Congratulations, honey. You deserve it. -Thank you so much.

Oh, God! It's fine.

Survival of the fittest.

Emotions control you and make you a weak person.

Sometimes, I wish I didn't have feelings or emotions.

He's driving me crazy, Loulwa. I think he's seeing someone else.

Can you believe I spoke to him for a whole hour and he stayed quiet?

He couldn't care less, he got ready and went out with his friends.

Surely you're exaggerating?

I'm exaggerating? Whose side are you on?

Dalal, you're blessed to have a man who loves you so much,

-but you don't deserve him. -Oh, my God!

Fine, you have him and let me relax.

Wanna bet?

-On what? -He'll come and apologize to you,

and maybe even bring you flowers.

-White? -Like the color of your heart.

When a man falls in love, he goes blind.

What's wrong?

No, no, don't cry, dear.

It's okay, Dalal. Don't cry.

Come here, dear.

Come and sit down, honey.

Here, honey. Drink this.

It's okay, dear.

Bless you, dear. Tell me what's wrong, Dalal.

I'm infertile. I can't have children.

What did Bader say?

Bader doesn't think it's a big deal.

He said what matters is that we're together.

Well, thank God then. It means he cares about you.

He cares about me? I'm sure he's up to something.

He's bound to marry a second wife and have kids with her.

Dalal, the man told you that he loves you.

He doesn't want kids with anyone else because he loves you.

Maybe it's not due to love that he's being patient.

What could it be?

I succeed in all my plans,

and achieve all my goals.

I've been worried all these years that someone would see it.

I can't destroy it because I don't know what the future will bring.

This is the only thing incriminating Bader if anything happens to me.

What's wrong?

She switched off all the cameras so she wouldn't get caught.

-All the cameras? -Yeah, all of them.

Listen, don't tamper with anything and don't tell anyone

so I can collect all the evidence.

Okay, dear. Thank you so much.

Dalal, listen to me. Don't even tell Bader.

Don't let him suspect anything,

-because he could be involved with her. -You think?

You never know. Maybe.

-Thank God you're okay. -Thank you.

-Are you tired? -A bit.

-Have you seen him? -Yeah, I have.

-Does he look like you? -He looks like you, actually.

-Really? Is he blond? -Yeah, he's blond.

Thank God.

Bader.

Bader, do you know who killed Dalal?

Look closely at the photo, Bader.

I didn't expect her to do something like that.

Recently, she's been acting weird.

It turns out she's the one behind all this.

Since she's an attorney, she knew how to play it right.

Anyways, I tried calling Yousef but he's not answering.

I'm heading to the police station now to report it.

I never met her, but I would advise her.

She'd tell me about your issues.

Dalal! Dalal!

You're the key suspect in Dalal Abdulla's murder.

Dalal suffered from severe depression which you were unaware of.

...that he'd throw away his soccer career and kill his wife.

I believe you're innocent.

I insist on clearing your name.

If you had anything to do with this...

I'm telling you I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-Loulwa? -Yes?

How did you kill Dalal?

-112, what's your emergency? -My wife's dead.

I found her dead on the floor.

-Did you check her pulse? -Nothing.

She's dead. She's not breathing.

-How did she die? -I killed her.
