Good evening, and welcome
to the grand finale of…

The Most Beautiful
Girl In The World!

With me, Rigen Rakelna,
and my co-host…

Indra Jegel. We will be your
guides over the next four months...

Ah, too long.

Okay, sorry. My bad.

Tonight, we get to find out
which of these beautiful women

has won the heart of our
star, Brandon Prakoso.

Wow! Yeah, that's right.

So that means I get to have one that
wasn't chosen by Brandon, right?

That's the kinda thing that
can be arranged, right?

Oh, wouldn't I love that.

Um, Rigen, wake up. You've got
two kids at home with runny noses.

Right, I forgot. I
should probably go then.

- No, don't.
- Yeah, but my kids are sick.

- We're still working.
- Oh, right.

So what are you planning
to do after the show?

- Kiara!
- Yep.

It's okay. The proposal
can wait. Come over.

Hang on. Almost done.

You're always so busy.
Come watch with us.

Relax. I'll be
there in a minute.

- That's a dealbreaker.
- Stop. You're gonna jinx this.

For tonight's final episode, we'd
like to welcome a very special guest.

That's right. Everyone, a warm round
of applause for Mr. Gunadi Wiraatmadja.

Yes.

We also have with us
tonight, the Prince of WinTV.

- The one and only Mr. Reuben Wiraatmadja!
- Wiraatmadja!

The audience in the studio and
at home can't wait any longer.

Who will be chosen by Brandon?

Before we get to that, a few messages
from our sponsors. We'll be right back.

All right, so if I get this right,
we'll introduce him first and then…

No. That'll come later.
We'll let you know.

- All right.
- Change that here.

Are you okay?

Welcome back to tonight's
grand finale of…

The Most Beautiful
Girl In The World.

These last few minutes
are pretty intense, right?

Yes, that's right. There are only
a few minutes left in the show,

and we're about to find out
which of these five finalists

have been selected
by Brandon Prakoso.

- That's right.
- Of course, for the reveal…

- Yes.
- …we need on stage with us

Mr. Gunadi Wiraatmadja.

Because we all know that he is the
embodiment of a true family man.

- The head of a tight-knit family, yeah.
- Yes. Wonderful family.

And as head of this station…

Obviously didn't
do their research.

Mr. Gunadi, could you
please come up on stage?

Next. There is one more person
we'd like to call up on stage.

Mr. Reuben Wiraatmadja,
would you come and join us?

Why? Why do I need to do that?

Before addressing the audience,

our guests of honor would like
to offer their congratulations

to, uh… the five finalists
and Brandon Prakoso.

Yes.

- Congratulations. Well done.
- Thank you.

- Well done.
- Thank you.

- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.

- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.

Well done.

Please. We're live.

Okay? Don't make a scene.

What just happened?

Oh man! He just got slapped.

Is that part of the show?

- Didn't you write the script?
- I swear I didn't put that in.

Didn't I tell you?
Mr. Reuben is a playboy.

- Hey! Careful what you say.
- Don't spread rumors.

What were you thinking, Ben?

I was dating her before she was a
contestant on the show this season.

And she knew she
wouldn't be the winner.

But why did you have to break
up with her tonight? Tell me.

No reason. I just wanted to break
up. Her reaction is not my problem.

This is deceptive. It
could cause a scandal.

The contestants must be single.
It's the rules. No boyfriends.

Not one of the five finalists
is single. They have boyfriends.

As it happens, the
boyfriends let them go out

with another fellow
just for a few weeks.

That Brandon something.

From the get-go, this
show was a fiasco.

The mainstay of this
station is this show.

It's been forever since
we've had ratings this high.

Let's make a bet.

Tomorrow, that one
scene will go viral.

And as you wish, the
ratings will skyrocket.

You're smart, Ben.

But snarky.

Well, that's how you raised me.

Uh, sorry, Gunadi, Reuben.

We need you back in the
studio. Time for the closing.

You don't need me.

- Oh, hey. Hi, Jimmy.
- Hey.

Sorry, uh, have you seen
the email I sent out

about the presentation material
for the meeting with Mr. Marc?

- Oh, yeah. The Real Shop?
- Yes.

I read it quickly, but…

You write crazy
fast, you know that?

Did you come up with this

while all the commotion was
happening earlier in the studio?

Yeah, what happened earlier?

I saw someone slap somebody,
but I don't know why.

Wow, you're so out of the loop.

Not for things
that really matter.

Yeah, sure.

But, uh… this is good.

- You should present this.
- Are you serious?

I'm just going over it, but
it's good. Just fix the layout.

- Okay.
- Yeah, good job.

- Thanks a lot!
- Sure.

♪ I said my lips
were sealed, ooh ♪

♪ But I had my fingers crossed ♪

♪ And when the
moment came, ooh ♪

♪ I knew the mission… ♪

- Morning, Ivan.
- Good morning, Mr. Reuben.

Morning.

- Morning, sir.
- Morning.

- Morning, Mr. Reuben.
- Good morning.

♪ His grip so tight And
his heart was cursed ♪

♪ Running, running, running,
running Running high ♪

- Morning.
- Good morning, sir.

♪ 'Cause I'm a warrior ♪

♪ Running, running, running,
running Running high ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm a warrior ♪

- Morning, sir.
- Morning.

♪ 'Cause I'm a warrior ♪

Morning.

Okay.

Uncle Agung here as your best friend
or do you need spiritual guidance?

Reuben, please don't.

It's okay, Gun. I
should get going anyway.

Ben,

be as snarky as you want with
me, but not with Uncle Agung.

Isn't that the truth?

His official position is
"spiritual advisor," right?

Am I wrong?

WINTV EXPLAINS SLAP

Anyway, damage control is done.

I've already met with Anggie.

We let people believe that it
was just a misunderstanding.

Lucky I didn't
get slapped again.

That's good. For now.

Um…

Something else I
wanted to tell you.

I'm taking you off the
TSP Bank's variety show.

Why are you bringing that up?
Branded content is my thing.

Real Shop is okay. Make
it happen. Get it done.

That's the last one.

All right? And then I'll decide
what you'll be doing next.

That's bullshit.

Branded content are the only shows where
I don't have to obsess over ratings.

All the others depend on
them, just like you, Papa.

You must learn to
be responsible.

Dad, I'm being responsible.
Real Shop is going well.

The revenues are great.
It performs okay.

- I don't see where the problem is.
- Listen.

I never taught you to date a
woman and dump her just like that.

That's not how it's done.

You're dating Anggie, yet you
keep going out with other women.

- That's nonsense.
- It's not nonsense.

Your behavior could have
serious consequences.

Ratings were down because
of the game, not Anggie.

Reuben, please.

Your behavior towards women,

it's disrespectful.

Wow.

Disrespectful.

This from the creator of a show called
The Most Beautiful Girl In The World,

where a bunch of girls
are trying to get a guy.

You have nothing to
teach me about respect.

Maybe it's time for
you to settle down.

Okay? Get married.

Settle down. Get married.

Why do we have to commit
to just one woman?

So that they can leave,
just like Mom did?

Our meeting is over.

So this is an overview
of the reality show

that we propose
to launch on WinTV

based on Real Shop
user experience.

In our opinion, inviting
Korean stars isn't effective.

The audience will only
remember the performer,

but it won't benefit Real Shop,

other than the program being
mentioned repeatedly during the show.

Yes, but the name of the main sponsor
will be at the top of many people's minds.

I agree. You're right.

But it would be better if
we could also highlight

the strong points
of Real Shop itself.

It can provide elements from overseas
that no other e-commerce could.

The budget previously
slated for the Korean stars

can be reallocated to
enhance user experience

for the viewers at home,
the potential customers.

The first thing
to do would be...

What if I told you that the,
um, budget's not a problem.

Uh…

We are aware that Real
Shop's budget is not a...

I think your idea's
a very good one.

A user experience that
involves the audience.

We can work with that
when we're on the field.

But for this one here,

I think a K-Pop star
would do better.

- Uncle! Hi. Sorry.
- Hey! Reuben.

- How are you? Yeah?
- Good, good.

- How about you?
- I'm good. Just wanted to say hi.

So? All done?

- Yeah, all done.
- No, we're not.

My idea is being picked
apart by your subordinates.

Uh, we got a little
feedback from Kiara, sir.

Hey, no worries.

We don't need the owner's input.

Besides, this is just
another programming special.

Well, if there's a problem,
I'll take care of it.

Okay, well, get on
with the meeting.

Uh, Jim, when you're
done here, come see me.

- Yes, sir.
- Uncle, please continue.

- Yeah. Thank you, Ben.
- Yeah, good to see you.

Boss, you wanted to see me?

I am really not happy right now.

It's because of… What's her name? That
girl that was sitting next to you.

- Kiara.
- Yeah, her.

Well, let her be.

She's an assistant producer
obsessed with the process.

- She works fast, though.
- Well, I don't care.

You saw what she did.
She disrespected me.

I was talking, and when I looked
at her, she went like… Hm.

So a girl doesn't like you.
Let that be, for a change.

It'll add a little spice to
your life. Some complexity.

The complexity between me and my dad
is enough for me, thank you very much.

I don't want any more.

Right. Oh, no, no, no.
No, I already had coffee.

Just a…

All right, then.

Does she always have
that smirk on her face?

Well, that's who she
is. Not much we can do.

Her life must be awful.

Are you done yet?

It's just too much, Kiara.

Here. Take it. There. Okay.

You done?

Here.

Goodness, Kiara.

You need to get a grip, girl.

Your stress management
skills, they really suck.

Slightest upset, you start
throwing up. That's disgusting.

Yeah, but it doesn't
hurt anyone, Dit.

Huh. Doesn't it, though? Like
when you throw up on someone, huh?

- You're mean!
- You threw up on me.

- You're the one who's mean.
- It's not like it was on purpose.

Anyway, I say it's probably
time for you to switch careers.

Time for different one.

But I like broadcasting. What
else do you want me to do?

Yeah, but maybe broadcasting
doesn't like you? Then what?

Drop it, okay. I plan on sticking to it
until I become a full-fledged producer.

I want my dream to come true.

Okay.

It's about that dream
apartment, isn't it?

Yeah, the one you think is
totally out of my league.

Aw, we'd still be
sharing, right?

Huh? Since when?

You said you wanted to
share a place with me.

- You wanted us to be roommates.
- What? That's news to me.

- Oh, whatever. I'll just go.
- Hey, wait!

You forgot your bottle. Here.

Hello.

Hey, Gun. Listen,
uh, about Reuben.

How long are you planning to
keep him off the branded content?

Reuben's tactical.
He's great to lead.

Sometimes his legal advice
is even better than mine.

The Anggie incident is
definitely proof of that.

That was well done.

Yeah. The trouble
is he hates ratings.

And he despises shows
he considers low-brow.

That's no problem. You
were like that back then.

Long ago.

He's got talent and
a good set of skills.

- But his life is a total mess.
- And your life isn't a mess, Gun?

Ten million!

- Are you serious?
- Of course!

You must have a good hand. Jeez…

I fold.

Okay, in that case,
I bet ten, also,

and raise you ten.

All right. Ten million.

Full house.

- Are you serious?
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Hey, hang on.

- Wanna count my money?
- No.

- Because I got a straight flush.
- What?!

- Wow.
- Shit.

Right?

How many times have you
done this to me, Gun?

I keep telling you. You
always rush into things.

That's how I get you!

This is crazy. I mean…

Gun? Gun!

- Gun! Gun!
- Gun! Gun!

What's wrong? Gun!

Gun! Gun! You hear me?

Come quickly! Gun!

I'm still thinking that if you
appear in an adventure show,

it would be so much fun.

I would so love to.

But I think I'd be kicked
out on the second week.

And then I wouldn't
see you again.

Um, yeah, well, if
you like to travel…

…that's the only option really.

Mmm.

- Sorry. I, um…
- Oh, yeah, okay.

- I have to take this.
- Take your time.

Uncle, what is it?

Reuben, it's about your father.

He's dead.

IS THIS ANNA SAVITRI?
MOM, IT'S ME, REUBEN.

A FEW WEEKS LATER

Good afternoon.

As Mr. Gunadi Wiraatmadja's attorney,
I'll read his last will and testament.

"To my only son,
Reuben Wiraatmadja,

I leave all my wealth, whether
in the form of money or assets,

providing that he, Reuben,

marries the most beautiful
girl in the world

within six months
of my passing."

"The responsibility of ensuring

that Reuben's future wife
meets all the criteria

for the most beautiful girl in the
world will fall on a committee,

the formation of which I
entrust to the diligent care

of my well-advised friend
and spiritual advisor,

Agung Santoso."

"This last will and testament,

I write in full possession of my faculties
and without coercion from any party,

so that my last wishes may be
fully respected and executed."

I don't get it.

Your father must have had
a reason for doing this.

Here's the thing. I have big
ambitions for the future of WinTV.

Uncle Agung knows that.

I want to reconstruct WinTV.

Now all those ambitions could be
derailed and made impossible to realize

if I'm unable to satisfy
this particular requirement?

It makes no sense.

Here, in this room,

the only person who would
best understand your father

is you, Reuben.

I suppose this actually
might be a chance for me.

How so?

Well, this is my chance to make
shows that have some class.

I could even turn The Most Beautiful
Girl into something classy.

Oh. You wanna handle that show?

I'll be the star bachelor.

- Huh? Say what?
- Yeah. Hear me out.

The way I see it,

it'll be like killing
two birds with one stone.

Okay? First off, I get to fulfill my
father's wishes as stated in his will.

After all, Uncle Agung is involved
in this. He's the gatekeeper.

He gets to decide.

- Just hold on a second.
- What?

Can't you just look
for a real wife,

then introduce her to
Uncle Agung, you know,

just like a normal
person would do?

Second reason.

I can bring some
class to the show.

This could be used as
leverage with Uncle Agung.

That way, he'll see that I
have WinTV's legacy at heart.

It'll be called the same thing, then?
The Most Beautiful Girl In The World?

No need to change the name.
That was my dad's idea.

And the logo?

Same thing. It's his design.

No, listen.

The whole idea of this show, The
Most Beautiful Girl In The World,

is a complete set-up.

All you gotta do is pick
a winner. It's cheesy.

You don't get it.

I wanna make this thing real.

Zero set-up. No pretending.

From the selection of the
participants to the next stages,

through to the final.

Everything real.
Nothing scripted.

In the end, I'm the one who gets
to pick a winner. How about that?

I don't get it, bro.

So you want to be
the star bachelor

and use the show to find
yourself a wife, is that it?

That's it.

It's up to you to set up a
decisional committee or whatever.

That way, you can watch
the show and go from there.

And earlier you said no acting?

Yep.

Here's the thing.

This show needs scripting.
No other way to put it.

It's all about the ratings
and engaging the viewers.

How do we do that?

With drama.

That's why we need to prepare.
To make sure we get drama.

I wanna make a good show.

Something organic. The
ratings will follow.

Okay.

Well, uh,

in that case, we're
gonna need a producer.

- Mm-hmm.
- Jimmy?

- Hm?
- You wanna do it?

Uh, I'm already handling
a lot of live programming.

Maybe we can have...

Ki?

Oh.

- I'm sorry, sir. I thought this was...
- Kiara.

Uh, yeah. Excuse me.

Your name is Kiara?

Uh… Yes, sir.

Yeah. I need a minute.

Right.

I cannot with a clear
conscience handle a program

that I know I would not
want to participate in.

As a regular person and a woman,
I find this show misogynistic.

Hmm.

That's good. She has the courage to
speak up in the office. It's great.

Good. Okay.

I get what you mean, and, um,

we intend on
scrapping it in time.

This particular season

will not be condescending
towards women in any way.

I'd like to share a little inside
intel, sir, in case you didn't know.

Galuh resigned for
the exact same reason.

She agreed to push through Season 3
because she is a true professional.

Well, good for her.

There are a lot of other
TV shows similar to this.

But in Season 4,

you are seriously ramping
up the cringe factor

by taking part yourself,
the owner of the station.

- Prospective owner.
- Okay. As prospective owner.

Owner.

Okay, whichever it is.

It's not whichever. Owner.

You, sir, as the owner, will
be the center of attention

and the coveted prize.

Sorry, but that's tacky.

Hmm. Well, your job is to make this
show neither tacky nor misogynistic.

If your eyes are bothering you,
you should use some eye drops.

You look like you're having
a mini stroke or something.

Perhaps sunglasses could help?

- All good, sir.
- Okay.

Um…

I was told that you were rather
ambitious and wanted to produce.

You want artistic freedom.

This is the freedom Galuh
herself never got to enjoy.

Let me ask you,

how often do you think an
opportunity like this comes along?

It's not something you'll
come across every day.

Think of it as a challenge.

Come up with a good program,

and let me handle the rest.

Okay?

Jeez, girl.

Okay. You wanna bet with me?

I think a ton of women
will wanna sign up.

I mean, who doesn't wanna
be with Reuben Wiraatmadja?

- Me.
- Uh, can you let me finish?

Yeah, okay. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Now, first off, he's mega rich.

Good-looking? There's
no denying it.

And then, the winner gets the title of
The Most Beautiful Girl In The World.

- Oh! That's perfect happiness. Come on!
- Ow! Hey!

- Nothing to worry about for life.
- Hey!

- Will you stop it?
- What's that for?

If you don't see
that, you're crazy.

Do you see yourself
taking part in this thing?

It's stressful.

Then you win and you have to
marry a guy like him? God forbid.

- God forbid?
- Mm-hmm.

- God forbid?
- Mm.

- The guy is hot!
- Well, yeah. Well…

Don't judge a book by
its cover, sweetie.

Well, I do judge a book
by its cover, sweetie.

I design book
covers for a living.

Shit. What was I
thinking? Wrong metaphor.

- Hey! Napkins are right there.
- Yeah, yeah.

- Mm, you want some coffee?
- Sure.

Just say yes.

You said so yourself, so many
times, "I wanna be a producer."

And now you're being given the
chance, and you won't take it.

Yes, I want to be a
producer, but the thing is,

I don't wanna lose my sanity.

Picture this.

I finally buy the apartment,
but I go nuts. What's the use?

- Mm, I get it. Work-life balance.
- Mmm.

In that case, if you wanna realize
your dream of getting the apartment,

you're left with two options.

There is online
gambling or borrowing.

Either way, you're gonna end up
deep in debt, owing a ton of money,

losing the apartment,
back to square one, right?

- Don't you have something better to...
- Mi-mi-mi.

- There's gotta be...
- Bleurrh.

- You're not supportive of me, Dita.
- Because you're so stubborn.

You're being offered
this great opportunity,

and you don't even see it.

I'm going home. You
can eat the martabak.

- Take some with you.
- I'm full.

Take a couple of
pieces, at least.

- Hang on.
- What?

Like a rock.

Get outta here.

- Bye.
- Bye.

First, we need to come
up with a good storyline.

I've already done it.

Seriously? You'll be
the Star Bachelor?

Is this not a desperate
attempt to beef up the ratings?

The premise of the
show is to find a wife,

but three seasons in, and
no one's ever got married.

Uh, thank you for the question.

First of all, yes, I'm
looking for a wife.

And, um, I'm doing this because
it was my late father's last wish,

and I want to fulfill it.

Yeah, one thing I regret above all
is that my father passed away before…

- He's actually a pretty good actor.
- Huh.

I told him to give it a
try, but he didn't wanna.

Yeah.

Secondly, we gotta
switch it around.

This is not about women competing to
win the heart of Reuben Wiraatmadja,

but rather…

This is me, and this is my
journey to find my true soulmate.

Some people believe that shows
like this use women as commodities.

What do you say to that?

First of all, this is
not a beauty contest.

What will be assessed,
primarily, is intelligence,

personality, and compatibility.

- Any women can register.
- Right.

If what I'm offering lines up with
their values and ambitions in life,

then it's all good.

If not, well, I
will respect that.

He talks like a politician.

To wrap this up, I'd like
to mention, once again,

I will be the one
choosing the participants

and, ultimately,
picking the winner.

Thank you everyone. Enjoy
the rest of your afternoon.

Three thousand already?

- How's it going?
- Huh? Uh…

I was just checking
who registered.

We're only day one, and over
3,000 women have registered.

That's a lot, sir.

It's because it's open to the public.
Previous seasons, we hired an agent.

I told you if we opened it to the
public, women would flock in to register.

Uh… is that a good thing?

- You happy?
- Course I am.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN
THE WORLD SPECIAL SEASON

I don't have any
particular talents.

I'm just thinking
I could get lucky.

Don't ask about my age.

What matters most is experience.

And I could teach you
a thing or two, Reuben.

You see this? Is this what you
meant by not demeaning women.

Sir, we might as well be prompting
the audience to laugh at these women.

But we can't control that. The
women who sign up do so voluntarily.

That's the risk we take when we produce
a reality TV show without a script.

If you think this is demeaning,
you're the one who is condescending.

- I'm the one who's condescending?
- Yeah, and the selection isn't over yet.

Okay? Remember this.

When I said I was looking for women
who were more qualified, this isn't...

But the type of woman you're talking about
would never take part in a show like this.

So they're all stupid. Is
that what you're saying?

Maybe… we could get back
to the old ways, Ben?

We set it up, pick the
participants, then pay for…

Sorry. Just a suggestion.

We can't control who
chooses to sign up, right?

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.

But we can control the audience.

We can choose who we want to show,
and then we can edit the segments,

and, hopefully, we get
reactions that are a bit more...

- Different from your reaction?
- More positive.

Do you always have to
have the last word?

Oh, not at all. If you want
the last word, sir, go ahead.

Okay.

Okay.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Trying to have the last word.

Oh, you meant your last word's "okay"?
I wasn't briefed. I didn't know.

Okay.

Okay.

Shh.

Shh!

I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING
OUT OF LINE, SIR.

SO WHAT'S YOUR IDEA OF THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD?

JIMMY TOLD YOU TO
APOLOGIZE, DIDN'T HE?

YES, SIR.

PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION, SIR.

UNLESS YOU DON'T
KNOW THE CRITERIA?

How to put it? That's how it is.

Intelligent women tend to have
more dignity and self-respect.

Right. Are you talking
about yourself?

I think we should try
to align your perception

of The Most Beautiful
Girl In The World

with Mr. Gunadi's.

Have you two ever
talked about this?

- Never came up.
- Okay.

Oh! Or maybe your mother?

Was there ever any
conversations about this?

Would she know anything?

I have a meeting now.

- What are you doing?
- I'm preparing your breakfast.

Oh, the ideal wife.

Why are you recording
this? Cut it out.

- Do you need help?
- Gun, please stop.

Reuben!

Come here.

What are you doing?

Argh!

Don't!

Gun, take him for
a swim, would you?

What are you recording now?

You should record the view.

You're better than the view.

I mean it, Gun. Please don't.

Okay, my turn.

Hey, hey. No, don't.

All right.

- Aw, please.
- Smile!

That's enough. Give it back.

Hang on.

Boss! Oh.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

- We still on for lunch?
- Yes, let's go.

And so, as was predicted,

women who are smart, capable,
and especially beautiful,

and I would like to
stress that, sir,

they are not interested in
taking part in the show.

This is the reality we have
to face this special season

because we want the show to be
unscripted and unfold organically, right?

What we need to
do now is rebrand,

or in other words, create
a new perception of

Reuben Wiraatmadja.

What's the old perception
of Reuben Wiraatmadja?

Well…

- What I meant was...
- What did you mean?

Anyway, my idea. A talk show.

- Hmm. Talk show?
- Yeah.

An appearance on our top
talk show during prime time.

Jimmy, can you get him
on tomorrow's talk show?

You got it. All good, boss.

- Okay, uh…
- Why am I your assistant now?

Oh, sorry! I didn't mean
to. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Came out funny, didn't it?

I meant no disrespect, but
could you check the schedule?

Yeah, I'll make room.

It'd be great if we could
make it. Thanks, Jimmy.

I really appreciate it.

Welcome back to our special
segment here on Chat with Cath.

We're having an in-depth
conversation with Reuben Wiraatmadja.

Now, Reuben, just to
dispel any confusion,

all the controversy that
seems to be swirling around

this upcoming special
season, is it just rumors?

Oh, yeah, clearly. The whole
premise was simply misconstrued.

Um, I'm looking for a woman with
whom I can hopefully share my life,

um, in the spirit of
love and mutual respect.

I think it's important to find
someone with similar values,

who can be there for me
as much as I am for her.

Someone I can
exchange ideas with,

who can give me advice,
things of that sort.

I'm looking for an
equal partnership.

There needs to be a level
of intellectual respect,

where both parties feel comfortable
in expressing their opinions

and speaking freely.

Um, for me this
is very important,

and this is what I mean
by an equal partner.

So if I understand correctly, you
are not looking for a trophy wife.

Oh, no. Of course
not. No, no, no.

The reason you want to get married
is because of your dad, right?

And I want to marry because I
want to make my parents happy

before it's too late.

Us humans are here on this
earth for a short time.

And to make the most of it, one
needs a large amount of money.

Does this mean you want to
marry me strictly for my money?

First of all, it's
not about what I want.

It's for my parents
and what they want.

After that, we can talk about
values and what we both believe in.

And what is it that
you believe in?

I believe you think money is just a tool
to achieve your goals, a means to an end.

Otherwise, you'd never have
come up with a show like this.

Finally.

Okay, okay, okay.

Now we've picked our top ten entries for
The Most Beautiful Girl In The World,

we need to get ready for a
week with Reuben Wiraatmadja.

So a week with
Reuben Wiraatmadja

means that cameras are going
to be following me everywhere

whenever I'm with them?

- Yes, when you're with them.
- Like in a café?

Yes. Only when you're with them.

But I have to remind you,

there can be no touching.

Agreed.

We have to show that
this season is different,

and I know I didn't
choose the wrong producer.

Good evening, everyone,

and welcome to this important
moment in our series,

The Most Beautiful Girl In
The World, Special Season!

And here's our first finalist,

Aleya Sisca!

- Pleased to meet you. Have a seat.
- Hi. Thank you.

Should you win this
contest, what would you do?

Should I win,

I will fully embody the title of
Most Beautiful Girl In The World

because I am beautiful
inside and out.

Next, we have Nikita Karen.

I might not be the most
beautiful woman in the world,

but I can be everything
for you, Reuben.

I'm very capable.

You'll never have to
look at other women.

And next, Agatha Jessica.

If I come out the winner,

I will use my platform to help
young women fulfill their dreams

and dispel the notion

that success can only be achieved
through privilege, Reuben.

Our next contestant. Please
welcome Helen Kusuma.

Welcome.

This is the VIP lounge.

Actually, it's not, uh, exclusive.
It's open to all, really.

But my father spent a
lot of time in here,

and people are a little
scared to come in.

There is a, uh,
small kitchen. Uh…

- Hmm.
- We can eat and drink. Yeah.

Have you ever eaten in
the employee cafeteria?

- Hm?
- The staff's cafeteria.

- Uh, can you turn this off for a second?
- Oh, yeah, sure.

Uh…

Yes, I have, but not often.

Wanna try it now?

- Try what?
- The cafeteria.

Oh. Yeah.

Uh…

But we'll waste
all this food here.

It's okay. Just joking.

Where's Kiara?

Uh… no idea.

- Contact her for me, please.
- Yes. Yes, sir.

- Yes, okay, after you.
- Yeah. Shall we?

- Get her here now.
- Okay.

What do you like best?

I had great food in Padang.
Very tasty. Great places to eat.

Sir? You wanted to see me?

Yeah. Um…

Helen suddenly asked
me to eat here.

Oh!

- Hello.
- Hi.

Go ahead, Helen.
Feel free to order.

- Really?
- I need a minute. No problem.

Come.

Tell me the food here's edible.

- Yes, it is.
- Yeah, okay.

Okay. What I do now?

- Just go with the flow. It's okay.
- Yeah, but where were you?

I just had some work to do.
Just go with it. It's all good.

What are you talking about?
I've never been here.

I'd like the stir-fried veggies.

Act natural. Order some
food. It's not difficult.

I don't even know what to
order. I've never eaten here.

Okay. I'll text you what's on
the menu and what to order.

Stay close, okay?

Me?

Well, yeah, you. I need
you to stay close, okay?

- Wear a headset or something.
- Okay, okay.

Keep texting me.

- Okay.
- It's blistering in here. Shh!

I'm sweating like a pig
in here. It's so damn hot.

Hey! Hey!

Hey! What should I
eat? I don't know.

Thank you.

Oh, sorry.

- Ooh.
- Yes.

You should try this
one. It's different.

- Different?
- Yep.

Okay.

- Looks good.
- Right?

- Do you wanna order some?
- Yes.

Ratih?

- It's Rani, sir.
- Rani. Sorry.

Um, yeah, I would like…

- What would you like?
- Some lunch, please.

- Okay.
- Uh…

Um…

DISHES YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW

I would like the,
uh… fried calamari.

- Mm-hmm.
- With some grilled tempeh.

Also, some, uh,
mustafo p… potatoes.

And string beans.

- Will that be all?
- Yes. Thank you.

Do you like to come
here unannounced?

Ah, I'm not a politician. That's
not the kind of thing I do.

I just like to eat here.

- Blend in.
- Right.

- Listen.
- Yeah.

- Can I ask you something?
- Of course.

If, for instance, not
one of us contestants,

I mean, us ten finalists,

turns out to be what
you're looking for,

will the show be cancelled?

Or must there
absolutely be a winner?

- Here you are, sir. Your order.
- Ooh, yeah.

- Thank you.
- Enjoy.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU I'VE
ALREADY DECIDED ON THE WINNER?

To answer your question, I
need to ask you something.

What is it?

What if I told you I've
already decided on the winner?

Bon appétit.

Eat up!

- Is it good?
- Yeah, it's really good.

Allergic.

WE ANNOUNCE THE WINNER
TOMORROW. ARE YOU NERVOUS?

SHOULDN'T YOU BE THE ONE
FEELING NERVOUS, SIR?

THE FINALISTS ARE THE ONES
WHO SHOULD BE NERVOUS.

OR YOU. BECAUSE YOUR
SHOW IS ALMOST OVER.

IT'S YOUR SHOW, SIR.

Sir?

It's time.

Oh, sorry. Are you conversing
with… the late Mr. Gunadi?

Actually, we rarely talked,
even when he was alive.

And when we did, we
usually ended up fighting.

Hm.

Um…

Sorry, but, uh…
we're short on time.

Frankly, I don't
yet have an answer.

Um…

What am I looking
for in a woman?

What's the most beautiful
girl in the world to me?

Sir, I'm sure you'll be
able to answer that easily.

Your idea of the most
beautiful girl in the world

will be the woman who wins tonight
and who you choose to be with.

Sorry.

Okay.

Your future wife and the whole
country is waiting for you.

Let's go.

GRAND FINALE

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
GIRL IN THE WORLD

All right, welcome back

to The Most Beautiful Girl
In The World, Special Season,

with me, again, and,
of course, Reuben.

And right behind me are ten of
the most beautiful young women

in the whole country.

And you ladies are
looking gorgeous!

Reuben, you must be incredibly
nervous. How are you feeling today?

- A bit nervous.
- Mm-hmm.

And honestly, I also feel relieved
to have finally reached the final.

The moment we've all
been waiting for.

And do you feel confident in the
decision you've made, Reuben?

Yes, I am.

Have you chosen
one of these women?

Or me, perhaps?

Definitely one of them.

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

- Let's not waste any time, Reuben.
- Yeah.

- Will you do us the honors?
- Thank you.

Thank you, Patricia.

Uh, first, I'd like to thank
every single one of you.

Um, a hand of applause for
our finalists here. Thank you.

Um…

Okay.

My decision is made.

And I am choosing…

Helen Kusuma.

Congratulations, Helen Kusuma!

I would now like to invite
Reuben to give Helen…

Congratulations.

…something very special.

- Dude, could you zoom in on camera three.
- Okay.

Okay. Yeah, this is good.

Reuben, Helen, you can hug now.

Okay. Oh.

How about a kiss?

Oh, uh, that'll have to wait.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right!

A big hand and a warm thank you

to all the other beautiful women
who took part in our special season.

- Oh, thank you. I didn't expect this.
- Congratulations!

- Hi, Reuben!
- Hey, Mr. Reuben!

- Hey.
- Hey, Mr. Reuben!

I'm very impressed, you know.

You organized a
party for the crew.

They've been working so hard
these past three months.

- Hi, Jim.
- Boss.

- Helen.
- Hi.

Um, I need to talk to Jimmy.
Let me walk you there?

- Okay, yeah.
- Yeah.

- Just a sec.
- Yeah, sure.

Alin.

Give us a hand?

- It's okay.
- Careful. There you go.

You're welcome.
I'll be right back.

What's up?

Where's Kiara?

Miss her?

- Ow!
- Simple question. It's her show too.

Why isn't she here?

Look, look, look, look, look!

So sorry. Sorry I'm late.

Mmm, I'll leave you to it.

- I should go too.
- Uh, Kiara?

- Yeah.
- Why are you looking so tired?

Uh…No, I'm fine, uh…

I just finished a report. Worked
late. Woke up late. That's all.

Uh, Jimmy is serving drinks,
but maybe you should wait.

Eat some food first.

Grab a bite to eat.
Put your feet up.

You're obviously lacking sleep.
Uh, just sit down and relax.

- Yes, I'll stick to mineral water.
- Good idea.

- Ten gallons of it.
- Ten… gallons of it.

Okay.

CONGRATULATIONS, REUBEN.
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. MOM.

Hoo!

You're polluting the sea, huh?

Haven't eaten yet, have you?

Yes, I have.

Thank you.

Oh God.

- I should have recorded that, huh?
- No, please don't.

I'm seasick. I haven't
had any alcohol.

Aw.

Jimmy said you have
stomach problems.

Why did he have
to tell you that?

- Because I asked him.
- Asked what?

To tell me all about you.

Yeah, but… why did he have to tell
you about my stomach troubles?

Because I asked for details. I wanted
to know… my producer's character.

Why? To what purpose?

Well, just because.

Okay? All right, are we gonna,
uh, discuss this all night?

No.

- No.
- Okay.

Kiara, you do amazing work,

and I wanna give you a bonus.

Oh, jeez, the sea. Big waves.

- Whoa…
- Whoa.

Tell me… sir…

am I officially a
full-time producer?

Yes, absolutely, but
that's not a bonus.

I'm talking about a
bonus. What do you want?

An apartment.

Huh?

Oh!

Sir? Sir?

Wake up, sir.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

What the…

Shit.

Where are we?

I think we're stranded on one
of the Thousand Islands, sir.

Then there's gotta be people
somewhere around here.

Those are inhabited.

Sir, the whole archipelago
has 110 islands,

and 11 of those are inhabited.

Well, maybe we've landed on one
of those 11 inhabited islands.

If that's the case, I think someone
would have discovered us by now.

We haven't looked for help yet.

- We should go look around.
- Ah, okay. Okay.

Let's walk along the coastline and
find out just how big this island is.

- Let's just go and look for help first.
- Okay, okay.

We're just waiting here.
No, I am not panicking!

- We should do something.
- I never said anything.

- Hello!
- You're walking very fast.

- It's impossible there's no one here.
- Calm down.

There's gotta be somebody!

What are we supposed to
do if no one's around?

It's like… It's impossible.

Hello! Is anyone here?

How is it possible no
one noticed we were gone?

There was a lot of people.

Hello!

- Sir.
- What?

These are our footprints.

We're back where we started.

- Yeah.
- We've already been around this island.

How come there's no one here?

- What do we do now?
- Uh…

Mmm…

Okay, uh, I'll, uh…

I'll walk into the
forest. Look for water.

Huh?

Humans can survive 30 days without
food but only three days without water.

And so I'll look for water.

You seem to know a lot about those
things. You been stranded often?

I was once an assistant producer
for an adventure show on WinTV.

- Need help?
- No, no. I'm fine. I'm fine. It's nothing.

Okay.

Ow!

Are you sure you wanna explore?
We don't know what's out there.

If we get lost, all we have to
do is get back to the shore.

Yeah, but what if… I mean…

Walking around like
that without knowing.

There could be animals.
It's dangerous.

I say we get back to the shore,
we sit down, and we wait.

Sit down by the edge of
the sea. Wait calmly.

Maybe they've noticed we're missing,
and they sent out a search party.

But if we happen to be inland instead
of waiting out there by the shore,

no one will know we're here.

They'd have to explore the
whole island to find us.

You remember what was happening
when we fell last night?

- There was a party.
- Mm-hmm.

It will take them at
least a couple of hours

to realize that we're missing.

Then, they have to
organize a rescue party

and search every single
island of the archipelago.

It should take them about
seven to ten days to find us.

Hang on a second. I'm
not sure I got that.

Did you just say seven
to ten days? That's cra…

Ow! Ow! Ow!

That's way too long!

What are you doing?

I'm sitting down. Okay with you?

Ah!

What now?

Kiara?

Uh, Kia… You're drinking
it just like that?

This is fresh water.

We don't know if it's
drinkable or not.

So you don't wanna drink?
It's fine. It's up to you.

Yeah, but

first I wanna see how you react.

If you're okay, and it
doesn't make you sick…

- This is clean water.
- …sure, I'll drink it.

But we need to boil it first.
There could be bacteria, parasites.

Do you see a kitchen here? A stove? A
five-star restaurant? No, there isn't.

You're being rude all of a sudden.
Why? You were fine a minute ago.

How can I be fine when I'm
stranded with someone like you?

- Someone like me? You wanna go there?
- Yeah. You don't like that?

- Of course not.
- Listen.

Over here, you're not my boss.

I have no idea how
long we'll be here for,

and your safety is
not my responsibility.

You either drink the water
or you don't. I don't care.

Kiara.

Kiara, I'm not done talking.

Find bottles, then fill 'em
with water. Next thing, shelter.

Okay.

- You good?
- Yep.

Want me to do it?

There it is! I got it!

- Really?
- There's smoke!

Congratulations, you just
beat the world record

for taking the longest
time to get a fire going.

The best!

I was just about to
give up on you, Ben.

But you didn't give
up on me, did you?

You did okay today.

For someone who couldn't figure
out what to eat at the cafeteria,

that was good.

Well, thanks, I guess.

Tomorrow we'll try
and catch a fish.

I think we should take our turns
sleeping. Someone needs to keep watch.

Who goes first?

Uh, I'll take the first watch.
You get some sleep. Ladies first.

Mm. Okay.

Although I'm confused as to what it
is I'm supposed to watch out for.

There's just the two of us here.

Well…

You never know. There could be
all kinds of animals. Who knows?

- Oh.
- Snakes, maybe.

- Weird creatures.
- What? Hey, hey, hey!

Don't just say things, okay?

Mmm.

Hey, don't go to sleep yet. I
don't know how to deal with snakes.

Just talk to them, Ben.

Ask them what their
dreams are and…

why they wanna be a snake.

Oh, and, uh, keep the fire
going, please, or we'll get cold.

And who knows, if a
ship happens to sail by,

they might see us.

If that happens, just yell,
"Help! Help!" And stuff like that.

I thought if I saw a ship,
I should yell, "Ahoy!"

"Tell me, what's
your biggest dream?"

"Why do you wanna be a ship?"

- Stuff like that?
- Mmm.

Wake me up in three
or four hours, okay?

Watch still working?

Of course. It's a Rolex.

- Huh.
- Mmm.

Ben! Ben!

Hey, wake up! Why
didn't you wake me up?

What is it? I just fell asleep.

Not true. You've been
asleep for a while.

No, I haven't. I
just fell asleep.

This is already cold,

which means that you let
it die several hours ago.

Well, I… I really didn't
wanna wake you up earlier.

To tell you the truth, I
didn't have the heart to do so.

You were sleeping so well.

All right, let's go.

- Go where?
- Fishing. Wanna eat? Come on.

How can we catch fish? We
have nothing to fish with.

Ben! Look! I got one!

You're funny.

- Go on. It's not gonna bite.
- It's tiny.

You didn't wake me up again.

The last text message I
received was from my mom,

and I haven't replied yet.

Actually…

I was wondering how
things were with her.

Sorry. It… it's
none of my business.

Uh…

My mother left

me and my father

when I was a child.

For no reason.

To this day, I still
can't make sense of it.

Of why she had to
leave… the two of us.

And I can't help trying to
figure out what happened.

Did she not love me?
Did she not love my dad?

I've come to realize that…

you can fall out of love.

It's not infinite.

Did she ever come see
you? After she left?

Not even at my dad's funeral.

Yeah!

About the apartment. Why
is it so important to you?

Like, how big of a
place do you want?

I just want a normal size.
It doesn't have to be huge.

As someone who's used
to living in, uh…

how should I say,
cramped quarters, um…

You know? Uncomfortably so.

It'd be nice if I could just
have a cozy, welcoming place.

I really wanna make a
home for myself, you know?

- How about your parents?
- They died.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

It's okay. It happened when
I was still in college.

And I don't have any siblings,
so I choose to live alone.

What's your biggest dream, Ki?

- Hey, sounds like a job interview.
- Mm-hmm.

Like I just said, an apartment.

That's it? Your biggest dream
is an apartment? Really?

Listen, for someone like me,

having a decent place to
live is an achievement.

Okay, okay. All right.

What's yours?

I really want to fix WinTV.

I mean, I want to change
the mission of WinTV

and start offering classy
and quality programming

that can make a difference,

not focus so much on ad
revenues and ratings.

If I were in a position
to make the decisions,

I would get rid of shows like The
Most Beautiful Girl In The World.

I mean, I'm so fed
up with these shows.

- Gone.
- No more. Gone.

History.

My father was in denial about
the future of television.

Hm.

But I think this is a great
opportunity to turn things around

and make a very positive impact.

Huh.

Hang on. This makes me think…

Yes! The last show I worked
on as an assistant producer.

What was it?

It was a very interesting travel
show. The focus was on Indonesia.

I think it could be revived.

You do have other dreams
besides the apartment.

Huh?

- No, it's different.
- How so?

- It's not a dream.
- It's a dream.

- You just expressed a dream.
- No. It's not a dream, it's a plan.

- What's the difference?
- It's not the same.

With a dream,

if it doesn't come
true, it makes you sad.

It hurts.

With a plan, if it falls
through, it's just annoying.

To be honest, I was expecting you to
come up with a deeper answer than that.

Sorry. Okay, not
deep enough. Uh…

Okay. I'll try again.

A plan is something
outlined in a proposal.

A dream is something that is

woven in our heart and
recalled every time we pray.

And before we fall off a ship.

Am I right?

Totally. That's true.

- You think it's done? Looks done. Yeah?
- Yeah, I think it is.

- Let's try.
- It's cooked.

Ow! Hot!

- Mmm.
- Mmm!

We've eaten this a few times.

Gotta say, it tastes great,
even without seasoning.

- Good, huh?
- Or is it just 'cause we're hungry?

- 'Cause it's fresh!
- It's fresh.

- That's it.
- It's fresh, that's why.

- When we get back to Jakarta…
- Mm-hmm.

…I'm gonna take you to
this French restaurant.

Amazing. And the fish… So good.

Mm. No.

The best restaurant for fish
is in Benhil. Ever been there?

- No.
- No? Mmm, we'll have to go.

Not everything has to
be expensive, you know?

- Hm?
- Hm?

Hmm?

What's wrong?

- What is it?
- Nothing.

Come on!

Nothing.

Mmm!

- I still can't believe it.
- Huh?

You still can't believe you're
stranded with Reuben Wiraatmadja?

Don't be silly!

Oh my God, I just choked!

I think I'd rather be
stranded with a dolphin!

- What is it you can't believe, then?
- What you said earlier.

About what you wanted to do.

You said you wanted to cancel The
Most Beautiful Girl In The World.

Oh, right.

From the start, there was only one
reason for me to take part in it,

and that was to fulfill
my father's last wishes.

And now that it's
done, the show can end.

Huh.

I think I've already found…

what I've been
looking for all along.

The most beautiful
girl in the world?

Yeah.

Huh.

Helen Kusuma.

The waves are really
big, aren't they?

I know, right? You think
they'll reach all the way here?

Don't think so.

Ben! Ben!

Ben!

Ben, quick! Move, move, move!

It's been five days since
Reuben Wiraatmadja went missing.

And still no news. Does
anybody know what happened?

The search is still ongoing.
That's all we know for now.

One of your producers, Kiara Clarissa,
is also missing, along with Reuben.

Anything linking the
two disappearances?

Uh, we're not yet sure
exactly what happened, um,

but we suspect that, uh…

…Kiara also fell in the sea.

Um, once again, I would like
to ask for your collaboration

and respect the family's privacy
in these difficult times.

Do you already consider
yourself a member of the family?

Those reporters, you don't have
to respond to all their questions.

- Uncle Agung?
- Yes?

- This is, uh, Kiara's best friend, Dita.
- How do you do?

- Dita.
- Agung.

- Helen.
- How do you do?

Yes, she wants to help too.

Okay.

Is that…

I wanna help search for my son.

Ben! Ben!

- Why didn't you wake me up?!
- I tried to wake you up.

You're impossible to
wake up. Go over there!

- Go over there!
- Ben!

- The shelter! We need...
- It's okay. It's okay.

- Kiara, look at me, okay?
- We need to...

- But we...
- Don't look at it. Just look at me.

- Kiara, look at me.
- Yeah, but…

It's okay. It's okay. It's
okay. We're gonna be all right.

Morning.

Morning.

- Okay.
- Okay.

That's good.

It collapses? Build it back up.
Collapses? Build it back up.

It's not like we have
a lack of resources.

You sound like you
wanna live here forever.

I don't know. Does it
suit your lifestyle?

- I like the idea.
- Huh?

Yeah. I'm serious. I'm happy
here. It's a good place.

No stress.

Okay, then.

So if a rescue ship shows up,

I'm getting on board and
sailing back to Jakarta,

while you get to stay here.

That's not how I see it. In my
mind, you'd have to stay here too.

Ha! No way!

You're the one who
wants to stay here.

So there's no need for
you to, uh, come up with…

What was it that you
wanted to make again?

High-quality programming with
no regard for the ratings.

It's got to be done.
You're the producer.

You just told me I had to stay here,
so how can I be the producer, hm?

If we ever make it back to Jakarta,
we'll make a good show together.

But if we have no choice but
to live on this island, I think

we should try and make
a go of it together.

Sorry. I choose to go home.

You're beautiful when you smile.

Do it often.

- What's with you?
- It's true.

When we're in Jakarta,
you always look so stern.

What?

No, I don't look stern.

There's just no reason
to laugh at the office.

Mmm.

- When we're back in Jakarta…
- Mm-hmm?

When we get to work
together again,

we should try to come up with

as many opportunities for
you to smile as possible.

Although, I suggest
you make up your mind.

Do you wanna stay here or do
you wanna go back to Jakarta?

You seem very unsure.

The question isn't so much
where I choose to live.

- Isn't it?
- But rather with whom.

That's far more important.

Because it feels very different

when two people live together…

and truly understand each other.

Do we understand…

each other?

I think we understand
each other.

Reuben!

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Reuben! Reuben!

Reuben!

Hey, um… the woman
that was with me.

Do you know where she
is? Was she brought here?

She's a few rooms down.

- Okay.
- Do you need anything else, sir?

- No. Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Ki?

Reuben.

I'm so grateful you're alive.

Why are you showing up now, Mom?

Because I feel guilty.

I didn't have the courage
to reply to your message.

But I did end up replying.

- Maybe you didn't get it?
- No, I didn't get it.

Reuben…

when I heard that you were lost,

I felt so much guilt
that I couldn't bear it.

Then I knew that I had
no choice but to face it.

And you couldn't muster enough
courage to attend Dad's funeral?

I understand.

All this time, you
must have blamed me.

You were right to do so.

I had an affair.

That was the biggest
mistake of my life.

I was still young, Reuben.

Your father was always
working. He was rarely home.

Suddenly, there was this other man
who was paying attention to me.

And I accepted his affection.

After that, I lost
absolutely everything.

I lost your father…

and you.

What happens now, Mom?

You get to leave again?

If you want me to leave again...

"If you want me to leave again"?

You chose to leave.
It was your decision.

I had nothing to do with it.

Don't try to turn this on me.

Why must I decide? If you
want to leave, just go.

- It's your decision.
- Reuben.

Please forgive me.

Forgiveness won't
bring Dad back.

Thank you. Thanks, everyone.

Thanks, Uncle.

Reuben!

Oh my God, I was so
worried about you.

- I'm fine.
- Are you okay? Are you hurt?

- No. No, no.
- What happened?

Really, I'm perfectly fine.

Hey.

I was looking for you earlier.

How can I help you, sir?

The last show is done, isn't it?

I'm just worried about you.

Can we continue this
in my office, please?

- Right here's fine, sir.
- Please.

What's wrong, Kiara?

Are you okay?

All good, sir.

About earlier, uh, Helen and I…

I had no idea. She shows
up, all of a sudden.

I guess I was just
trying to… comfort her.

Sir, I don't think you
need to explain anything.

Really.

It's not like there's
anything between us.

Kiara, please.

Everything that
happened on the island,

it was real.

This isn't a TV show, sir.

As I said earlier, there's
nothing to explain.

What is real and
what is made up.

The reality, I can
see clearly now.

We're in Jakarta and
not on the island.

You're my boss.

I work for you.

And you'll soon be married.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have work to do.

Okay. That's it, then?

Whenever there's a
problem, women run away.

Well, that's fine.

Don't blame me if I took
a chance and opened up.

What's the point of commitment?

In the end, you always
get left behind.

And for what?

Oh, right. The dreaded "R" word.

Relationship. But no need
to be so serious. We can…

Go ahead. Slap me.

Why you want me to do that?

So you won't feel
guilty anymore?

Don't bring your feelings of discontent
towards your mother into this.

Think about it.

You already have a fiancée.

And you've chosen her in
front of millions of viewers.

What are you gonna do about
it? You wanna call it off?

You're gonna end up treating
Helen the same way you've treated

all the other women you've ever
dated, I don't doubt it for a second.

Now forget everything. Forget
what happened. This is important.

Ask yourself. What
is it that you want?

What do you want?

You don't know, right?

Mr. Reuben.

Kiara, please.

Hey.

What now?

Well, nothing, Dita. I know
he'll definitely choose…

Helen. Why wouldn't he?

She's beautiful, smart, perfect.

And he has to think about
his inheritance, right?

I didn't ask about him.

I was asking about you.

What are you gonna do, Kiara?

You know, what
I'm most afraid of

is nurturing dreams.

And the biggest thing I could
dream of is the apartment.

And it turns out
that… I was right.

The…

the one time I allowed myself

to imagine something bigger
and let my dreams soar…

it didn't take very long at all for
me to fall right back down to earth.

It hurts a lot when
you fall, Dita.

That's the thing about
falling in love, Kiara.

It can happen to anyone.

But sometimes falling in
love brings a lot of pain.

You know, the
expression says it all.

"To fall… in love."

You'll be fine.

I'll be here. Okay?

Not often we see you here.

Yeah, well, I miss Dad.

Mmm.

Yeah, me too.

You've come to miss
him, after all?

Even though you two used
to fight all the time.

I've always felt like he couldn't
bring himself to try to understand me.

Mind you, I could also say
that I've never really,

really tried to see
where he was coming from

and understand him better.

Your father was
trying. He tried, Ben.

He actually wanted
to be close to you.

I don't remember what he was
like when I was growing up.

Mm.

I mean, what kind
of father he was.

The only reference I have…
are those videos he took.

Your father was
a great guy, Ben.

He loved you. He loved your mom.

Well, maybe he has a unique
way of showing his love.

Yeah, well, he was
kind of… How to put it?

It was hard for him to
express his feelings.

Why was his last
wish for me to marry

the most beautiful
girl in the world?

I mean, what was
his real reason?

I have no idea.

- Yeah. Thank you.
- Yeah.

Ben, there's someone
you should talk to.

They can answer your question.
I'm quite sure of it.

Agung told me everything.

About the inheritance and…

the most beautiful
girl in the world.

Ben,

I remember you
asking for my help.

I hope this will help you understand
your father a little better.

This is the only video of
your father's that I kept.

Thanks, Mom.

- Daddy.
- Yeah.

I want to marry the most
beautiful girl in the world.

Do you even know what that means?
The most beautiful girl in the world?

- No.
- Ah.

Let's say you marry the most
beautiful woman in the world,

and then another one comes
along who's even more beautiful.

Then what?

Then I change wife.

Smart fella. Where d'you
get that from, huh?

Did your mom teach you that?

Oh, you're so funny.

Really? You'd wanna replace your
old wife with the new one, huh?

What's your father
teaching you, hm?

Anna, you're the
only one for us.

The most beautiful
girl in the world.

Since when

have I become the most
beautiful girl in the world?

There are a lot of women
more beautiful than me.

Maybe.

But they don't love me,

and I don't love them.

Good afternoon, everyone.

The purpose of today's meeting
is to go over the numbers

for the recent season of The
Most Beautiful Girl In The World.

You can see here we got an
average percentage rating of 3.6

for a 20% share.

These constitute significant
numbers for WinTV.

Now, moving on to
actual revenues.

The ad share amounted
to 15 billion rupiahs,

while we collected ten
billion from sponsorship.

If we deduct the cost of production,
this is a net profit for WinTV.

Next up, you can see
the social-media reach.

The comments and responses were
quite positive throughout the season.

The number of impressions
reached over 20 million.

That's from every one of
WinTV's social-media platforms.

Facebook, Instagram,
X, YouTube, and TikTok.

Now the part of the presentation
which relates to the winner

will be delivered by Mr. Reuben.

- Go ahead, sir.
- Thank you.

Helen is a truly amazing woman.

And I don't think I need to
expand on this. It's undeniable.

We live in an era where everything
is given a numerical value

and consequently measured.

And when we've got something that
we can't attribute a number to,

it's considered invalid.

But in my opinion,

not everything can be judged
or measured in numbers.

Actually, I… I had
time to reflect.

Why did my father want me to marry
the most beautiful girl in the world?

What does that even mean?

I even had to form a committee
to figure out what that means.

I may not have been
close to my father,

but I found out what
beauty meant to him.

He thought beauty went
beyond physical appearance

and what the eye can see,

and that not everything can be quantified
and appear as numbers on a chart.

Especially if we're
talking about love.

So if we're dealing with something that
we can assign a numerical value to,

it can't be called love.

Love makes us capable
of facing and overcoming

even the most
difficult of hardships.

There it is! I got it! I got it!

Love warms the heart when
we find ourselves vulnerable

and in dangerous situations.

Love gives us strength to rebuild
a home destroyed by a storm.

Love fills us with hope

when everything seems lost.

I have learned a lot
in the past six months.

I've learned the true meaning of "the
most beautiful girl in the world."

I've learned a lot
about love. True love.

The most beautiful woman in the world
is the one who loves you for who you are

and who you love for who she is.

It is shared values
and mutual respect.

Finding a love like that,
experiencing this feeling,

is everybody's dream.

This is a dream that has
always been in my prayers.

Maybe now is the time for me
to make my dream come true.

Kiara, will you marry me?

I'm very sorry.

But I can't be a part
of your TV show, sir.

Kiara.

Kiara.

Kiara, wait.

Wait! Kiara, just hear me out.

Can I talk to you? Hey!

- Wait, hold on.
- What is it?

I wanna talk.

You asked me what I wanted,
and now I know what I want.

I want you. I want
to be with you.

Please.

I love you.

Ben, you don't know me well
enough to say something like that.

And you asked me to marry you.
It's not that easy, you know?

Kiara, you tell me.

Tell me that you don't
want to be with me.

I want to hear you say it.

I want to hear you say you have
no feelings for me whatsoever.

Ben, marriage is
something very serious.

You can't just meet someone,
and then, two weeks later,

say "I love you" and
ask them to marry you.

Do you think this is a reality
show? This is real life!

You want to marry me because
you have to get married, right?

I don't wanna lose you.

It is really me you
don't wanna lose?

Or is it your inheritance
you're afraid to lose?

I'm sorry, but…

I'm not your way out.

SIX MONTHS LATER

So, with two million dollars
that we already raised

in Series A funding,

we can contribute
20% of our shares.

So that's it.

Interesting. Great
idea for a startup.

Optimistic media.

And a positive outlook for
the region and for Indonesia.

Ben, I love your spirit.

Thank you, Uncle.

Give me a week to think
about it. I'll let you know.

- Okay. I'll wait to hear from you.
- Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Hey, by the way,

that former employee of yours that
works for us now is really good.

Who do you mean?

Once again, I wish to
offer my deepest apologies,

especially to Helen Kusuma,

for the mistakes I made, without
thinking of the consequences.

WinTV bears no responsibility,

and the blame falls
squarely on my shoulders.

I believe Helen will find
happiness with the right person,

and deservedly so.

Again, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hello, Madam Producer.

Hi!

Uh… Oh!

- Hey! What the heck? How are you?
- I'm good.

Uh, sorry I missed your
presentation earlier.

No worries.

You, uh… look great.

Beautiful.

Thank you. You also look…

okay.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Not too bad.
- Not too bad.

By the way I heard the
latest news about you.

Um…

You turned down the inheritance
to start your own thing.

That's old news.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, I just, um…
found that out.

But I'm sure
Mr. Gunadi is proud.

And I must say, I respect the fact
that you apologized to Helen publicly.

I mean, if we go back to the beginnings
of television in this country,

I think this is a first.

A public apology?

- Nah. Can't be.
- You don't think so? Well, maybe.

It's rare.

Yeah, it must have happened.

Um…

Dinner tonight?

- Tonight?
- Yeah.

Um…

I don't think I can tonight.

Okay.

- Tomorrow?
- Tomorrow, yes.

Okay. At seven?

Sure.

Good to see you.

Good to see you too.

Happy to see you,
Madam Producer.

See you.

See you.

There you go.

- Thank you.
- Enjoy.

We were getting hungry.

- Perfect timing.
- Yep.

There it is.

Looks good.

So…

what are you planning now?

If we're talking about a plan,
one thing's for sure. Uh…

I'd like to take some time to set
up my own company and get it going.

And yeah… I have no idea what's
gonna happen, but we'll see.

Mm.

But here's the thing.

Okay, that's… that's a plan.

- But I wanna talk about dreams.
- Okay.

Did you manage to get
your apartment, finally?

Sorry.

- I did.
- Oh!

That's good.

- Mortgaged.
- Yeah, well that's a start.

- Heavily and forever.
- That's okay.

I'm proud. I'm happy.

- Yeah?
- Yes, I am. Good for you.

Thank you.

I mean it. You've
worked hard for it.

That's great.

Do you drop by WinTV sometimes?

Not really. Once in a while.

I've been spending more
time with my mother lately.

- Really?
- Yeah.

We, uh… We've been
chatting, hanging out.

- Catching up, you know?
- Mm.

It's been a long
while, for both of us.

I'm really happy,
and she's happy.

It's good to hear.

Thank you.

Well, then, what do you
say we taste that fish?

- Okay, let me try.
- Okay.

Mmm!

Taste it.

Mmm!

- How is it?
- Hmm.

- How is it? Any good?
- It's good.

Good, right? Told
you it was good, Ben.

So which one is better?

The fish from your famous French
restaurant or this one here?

Hm?

This one here. Maybe it's
because I'm eating it with you.

Oh, come on!

Did you know I almost got
lost parking the car earlier?

- Really?
- Yeah.

I've never been here before.
I had no idea where to park.

- There's plenty of parking around here!
- Took me a while.

- Kiara.
- Yes?

I think you already know this,

but I love to hear your
laugh and see you smile.

Um…

I want to be the reason
you get to smile every day.

Mm?

That's all I have for now.

- That's all for now?
- Mm. That's it for now.

And, uh, if I wanted
to hold your hand now,

would that be okay?

- Hmm… No.
- Okay.

But it's okay if
I hold your hand.

I forgot.

You like to have the last
word and take the initiative.

If I hadn't taken the initiative,
we would have died on that island.

No, that's true.
