The Publicist

He's beyond help.

You're a great actor, Rey.

This is where the problem is.

Damn it!

Watch where you're going!

I just want you to understand, we're in a deep shit.

Do you get it?

- How is he? - Okay, wait a second.

- Well? - He's still in the bathroom.

That son of a bitch. Where's Maya?

- Maya. - Okay.

- What is it? - Look what your actor's doing.

I told you, don't hire him! He can't even come to the set sober.

- But he's the only one available. - Of course he is!

Nobody wants to hire him!

Call me when your shitty actor is sober.

What is this stupid stool doing here?

Let's start the shoot.

You can't be acting like this. You're being so unprofessional.

Mr. Dedy has left the set, and what do you think we should do?

He's the one who left the set, yet I'm the one who's unprofessional?

- You're an idiot. - Crazy bastard.

Good afternoon, Mr. Rey.

We're from the National Anti-narcotics Agency (BNN).

You are under arrest.

I think you've got the wrong person.

What are you doing? I'm not the only one. He's using drugs too!

I even got it from them!

Hello? Good afternoon.

Yes, this is she. I'm Rey's manager. How can I help you?

How do you feel after your rehab program?

Do you have any plan after this?

Are you going to return to your acting career?

Do you have any comment?

Why don't you just shut up! Mind your own business.

Piss off!

Wulandari reporting from BNN rehab center.

You can find news about Rey since he was arrested...

...and completed his rehab program.

But my clients mostly are corporates. I don't handle individual clients.

Excuse me. How about Robert Hanafi?

My client is the company, which he owns.

So, I cannot say that I represent...

Three years ago, he was investigated by the CEC for bribing a politician...

'Allegedly' bribed. They still don't have enough evidence.

- Yeah, and now people respect him. - Yeah.

You did that. You restored his image.

- Ms. Erika, Mister... - Javier.

Mr. Javier, Mr. Reynaldi's image was heavily stained.

My advice for him is to find a job outside the entertainment business.

Rey is a talented actor.

After the rehab program, his image is getting worse.

And he's been unemployed ever since.

- Excuse me, Sir! Stop! - Shut up.

You have to make an appointment first. Are you from the stone age?

Rey is a good person.

Sorry, I'm late.

Well, have you made a deal?

So, you're 'the' Julia Tanjung?

Mr. Reynaldi, I can't accept your case. I'm sorry.

It's fine. I don't need your help anyway.

It was all her idea.

Okay then, if we don't have anything more to discuss...

...I still have another appointment.

What appointment? I passed by your waiting room and it was empty.

Are you lying?

Thank you for coming. The exit is over there.

I can't believe this. I thought you said it's a bonafide agency?

They don't even serve anything to their guests.

Okay then. It's not fun here.

By the way...

...being rude to your clients is a sign of not enough sex.

Thanks for coming, and don't forget your CD.

- Thank you, Ms. Julia... - Close the door behind you.

What were you thinking? You were so rude.

She was the one who's rude to us. Not to mention arrogant.

Do you know how hard it is for us to get an appointment with Ms. Julia?

- She's a busy person. - Are you kidding me?

Her waiting room was empty.

Stop acting like a child!

Here we go again.

Erika.

- Stop it. - What?

I can't take it any longer.

I need you to understand, that we are in deep shit.

- I understand. - Do you?

I do. That's why I promise you...

- What? - I will stay clean.

I promise!

I'll take your word for it.

I need money.

But you just make your promise, and now you're asking me for money?

Why do you need money?

For the gas.

I don't have money.

I'm serious.

Thank you.

- Be safe. - Yeah.

You didn't tell him?

Forget about it.

You mean Reynaldi the self centered and arrogant actor?

The one who had been jailed for drug use?

I think it's good that he was arrested.

Somebody needs to teach him a lesson.

Sorry, but I really don't know who Reynaldi is. But I know Ronaldo.

I hope he will clean up his act and be back on his feet again.

Amen. Thank you.

Hello.

Hey, I'm leaving for Jakarta tonight.

- Our meeting for tomorrow is still on? - Of course. 1 pm.

I need to ask you a few things.

If it's about the job offer, you know my answer already.

I know, but don't get mad if I keep asking you that.

Because it's important to me that you accept the offer.

- See you tomorrow. - Get some rest.

I know you've been working hard today.

- You taught me that. - That's true.

In the morning, just take a taxi to our meeting place.

I'll drive you back to your office.

I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

It's time for me to give back to the city.

I think that's the correct words, and I owe to this city a lot.

And pairing with Mr. Darmawan in the upcoming gubernatorial election

...is one of the perfect way to do it.

Excuse me, my next appointment is here.

Can we wrap this up?

Sure, we're pretty much done. Thank you for your time, Sir.

- You're welcome. - Good afternoon.

What?

So, you asked me to come here to tell me about this?

That you're running for public office?

Yes, and by the way, I have asked for your usual order.

We were just investigated...

...by the Corruption Eradication Commission three years ago.

Thanks to you, it doesn't matter anymore now.

Actually, I want to know your opinion.

I believe running for public office is too...

Excuse me, Sir, Madam, your orders.

Okay.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

I believe going with the election is too...

Can we discuss it while eating?

There are too many uncontrolled variables.

That's why I need you, to handle my company in Japan.

Because you are the variable that I can control easily.

I mean, I need to secure my company's position in Japan.
