The Apprentice (2004–2017): Season 1, Episode 11 - A Look Back - full transcript
[Trump] Ten weeks ago,
I invited 16 candidates to New York City...
and gave them the opportunity
to win the dream job of a lifetime.
- I'm here to see Mr. Trump.
- I'm here to see Donald Trump.
[Trump] They came from all walks of life and
lived together in a suite at Trump Tower--
Whoo!
While they competed each week
against one another in a task.
Lemonade. Lemonade.
Rickshaw cowboy!
Come to Planet Hollywood

[Trump]
So far, I've fired ten candidates.
Six remain, and only one will become
the president of one of my companies.

Robin, let them come in, please.
Okay, Mr. Trump will see you now.
You can go in over there.
[Trump] In the boardroom,
/introduced the candidates...
to some very important members
of my organization.
George Ross, my executive
vice president and senior counsel,
And Carolyn Kepcher,
the executive vice president...
and chief operating officer
of my golf courses.
But I was very interested in hearing
from the 16 candidates.
- Where are you from?
- My name's Bowie Hogg. I'm from Dallas, Texas.
I have a business degree from Texas A&M
University, and I'm currently in sales.
I'm Katrina Campins.
I"m a real estate agent from Miami, Florida,
and I'm ranked number three among
Realtors nationwide, and I'm 23 years old.
I'm David Gould. I"m from New York.
Unlike most of the folks here,
I went to medical school,
then switched gears, gotmyMBA.
My name is Omarosa
Manigault-Stallworth.
And I grew up in the rough Westlake
projects in Youngstown, Ohio.
[ Recently completed my master's
and my Ph.D etudes...
at Howard University
in Washington D.C.
Four years ago, I worked at the White House
for the president of the United States.
My name is Amelia Henry, and ll am an M.B.A.
from Austin, Texas. I work in the high-tech industry.
Al the height of the market,
1 was worth in the millions,
but lost most of it
when the market crashed.
How are you doing, Mr. Trump?
My name is Jason Curis.
1 have a property management
company in Detroit.
No matter what kind of relationship
I have with someone,
if they're one day late on the rent, I start the
eviction process because that affects my cash flow.
I might have to evict you
very early. I don't know.
You also have to have heart.
We need heart in this business.
- Okay, go ahead.
- Mr. Trump, my name is Nick Warnock.
And I'm from Los Angeles, California,
by way of Bayonne, New Jersey.
I've dominated copier sales in Southern
California for the past four years.
Hi, I'm Kristi Frank
from California,
where I own a restaurant
in Santa Monica,
and I have two rental properties
by the beach.
Hi, 'm Heidi from Philadelphia.
And I currently
am a senior account executive...
with one of the largest
telecommunications companies in the world.
I'm Jessie.
I didn't go to college,
but when I was 17 years old,
I started a marketing company.
This year I bought a farm
in Wisconsin.
And I'monly 21 years old.
My name is Kwame Jackson,
and I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina.
I work on Wall Street
for a major Fortune 500 company,
and I also hold a degree
from the Harvard Business School.
Mr. Trump, I'm Troy McClain
from Boise, Idaho.
With nothing but a high school diploma,
I'm the president of my own lending and development company.
- So if you need a loan, come see me.
- Okay. Go ahead.
Good afternoon. My name is Bill
Rancic, and I'm from Chicago.
In 1995, I founded Cigars Around the World
in a 300-square-foot studio apartment.
I grew the company to
a multimillion dollar national operation.
Thenl sold it to
a publicly traded company.
My name is Tammy Lee.
'm 36.
I've been a top stockbroker
at a top Wall Street firm.
I'm here to start a new opportunity.
1/ hope this is it.
- Okay.
- My name is Ereka Vetrini.
I"m 27 years old,
and I'm from New York City.
For the last two years,
I've traveled around the world...
working for one of the largest
international cosmetics companies.
Okay, last.
My name is Sam. Mr. Trump,
I've read every book you've written... twice.
Now [ co-own an Internet company
with 70% profit margins.
1 will push and push...
with instinct and passion
in order to be your apprentice.
[Trump] We're gonna be setting
up two teams of eight each.
And I've decided
it's going to be...
men against women.
Each week, you will select
a project manager.
1 will hold the project manager at least
partially responsible for a team's failure.
If your team loses,
you will all meet me in the boardroom...
where somebody
has to get fired.
[Trump]
The women named themselves Protégé.
The men called themselves Versacorp.
Let's put it right here, baby.
Right here.
And on the floor of the New York Stock
Exchange, they were given their first task.
- Who is your project manager?
- Troy McClain.
- Who's your leader?
- Ereka Vetrini.
Okay, Freka, we're bringing you
back to basics.
You're gonna sell lemonade.
[ Trump ] The men of Versacorp chose a
terrible location-- the Fulton Fish Market.
And David had an unorthodox way
of selling lemonade.
Nine dollar, nine dollar, nine dollar!
All right, forget it.
[Sam] I don't think these guys get it.
They don't get it.
We may have to get some guy
to give us a thousand dollars.
I'm giving you my word
that if you write me a check...
for a thousand dollars
for that glass of lemonade,
that you are going to experience
the American dream.
- This guy is going crazy.
- I'm not going crazy.
I'm gonna retire in a few years.
Otherwise, I would have done it just for the heck of it.
Thank you for your time.
[Sam] [ think in order
to change this around,
I need to calm down--
just calm down.
All right.
[Trump]
The women were smarter.
Instead of wasting their time trying
to sell lemonade for a thousand bucks,
they found a good location
and hit the streets.
It's for the lemonade,
but the bonus is my phone number.
Just trying to make some money
on the street.
Not the street. That sounded bad.
Is this your corner?
[Trump] In the end,
Protégé earned twice as much money.
Win!
Because they lost,
Versacorp went to the boardroom...
where Troy chose David and Sam
to join him.
I'm gonna stand right here in front of you,
and if you have to punch me in the stomach...
and tell me to sit down
and shut up, I"ll shut up.
Sit down.
David, do you think if you were the team
leader, the result would have been different?
Not in this case because
sales is not my forte.
Mr. Trump, I don't wanna work
for anybody else in this country.
I come and work for you
and be your apprentice,
and follow the rules,
you wanna work for the best.
-1 am learning here--
- That's a big stretch.
No, it's not a big stretch for me, Mr. Trump,
because I learn fast-- Sam, your're a wild man.
You'll do great,
or you'll be a total disaster.
I haven't figured it out yet.
David, I don't see
that you stepped up at all,
You even admitted that you
wouldn't have been a good leader.
You're fired.
[ David ] I felt that Donald had a pretty good command of the
details, what he had heard from George and Carolyn.
He certainly's
his own decision maker.
It is my completely honest view that
the only real prize is first prize.
If wasn't gonna win it,
might as well get cut early.
Why go through all the hassle
otherwise?
[Trump] In week two,
I introduced the candidates to Donny Deutsch,
one of the biggest names
in advertising.
Their task was to come up with an ad
campaign for the Marquis jet Card.
The women elected Amy
as the project manager.
And I thought her first decision
was pretty smart.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
Okay, guys, so we have
an appointment today...
with the C.EO. and the senior
vice president of marketing at 12:30.
[Trump] However,
I questioned Jason's judgment.
[Jason] We don't have time
to go and meet with them.
It's gonna take an hour.
It's a waste of time.
If you're marketing for a client, how do you know
what to market unless you talk to the client?
[Trump] Tammy's crazy idea
showed that she was willing...
to go all the way.
This is the testicle ad.
This is a testosterone-driven ad.
[Amy]
What part of the plane is that?
Tammy's testicle ad may
compromise our ability...
to win this task.
[Trump]
While Protégé was on the rise,
Versacorp's chances
were falling apart.
[Jason ] Working together with everybody the
last couple of days, Sam was the biggest problem.
And I assigned him small tasks.
And they weren't accomplished.
[Trump]
The women"s risky strategy paid off.
We're gonna go with the women.
And I rewarded them with a private
jet ride to Boston for dinner.
[ All] Cheers. To us.
But the celebration couldn't
cover up the tension building...
between Freka and Omarosa.
- Stay outta my face.
-1 didn't say anything though.
For you to say that,
it should require me to say something.
Being a bitch is your problem.
You have to live with that the rest of your life.
[Omarosa] [ called her a baby.
[ told her to go in the corner...
and get her pacifier and her blanket and
go cry which is what she always does.
I am not talking to you. I am talking.
If you don't like it, I don't give a-- [ Beeps ]
You're emotionally unstable.
That is like calling
the kettle black.
See, there you go
with your racist terms.
- What was that you said about black people?
- Nothing.
Try to contain your prejudice, okay?
[Trump] Back at the suite,
Amy tried to mediate.
I think your approach,
rather than being constructive...
is confrontational,
and it's not productive to our team.
It's so funny. All of you sit around
and talk about each other,
make catty comments.
I'm the only one
that you all call out.
People are bad-mouthing you like hell because
of your lack of organization and management.
Do you realize that?
[Omarosa] Amy tried to put me down
because she was truly threatened by me.
And I just had a little fun
mind game with Amy in return.
It's all fair, believe me, in this game.
[Trump] The men's second loss
led them to my boardroom again...
where Jason pointed
the finger at Sam.
1 gave you one small job
the whole day--
one job the whole day,
and you fell asleep doing it.
No, I did not sleep.
- He was curled up on the side of the floor.
- In the fetal position?
- In the fetal position.
-[Sam] This is good,
Your're looking for somebody that's gonna
be an apprentice in our organization.
I cannot for the life of me visualize
Sam in that type of position.
But he is not the reason
that this particular event failed.
The reason is the team leader
in this case.
You're focusing on the fact that
I didn't meet with the president personally.
That's a big fact.
That's a big fact. Itis.
Itis. Itis, Mr. Trump, but--
Jason, this is a tough one.
You're fired.
[Jason ] I've had a ot of time to think about
where I went wrong or where [ thought I went wrong,
and in my eyes,
I didn't go wrong.
When Sam was sleeping on my shift,
what's to say he's not gonna sleep on somebody else's shift?
1 like Sam. He's a good person.
Would I ever hire him?
No. In fact, I'd fire people
if they were sleeping on the job.
[Trump]
The candidates had the day off,
so the men were determined to change
their luck with a fresh start.
[Bowie ]
We're taking the feminine route right now...
to try and act like a girl, think like a
girl, maybe we'll win like the girls.
What do I do, Sammy?
Do I get butt-naked or not?
Just go down to your boxers.
I kind of feel like an adult film
actor gettin' ready to get prepped.
I mean, I almost feel like I"m goin' in for a rub and a
tug, and it's kind of makin' me a little nervous.
You all set?
[Troy] I can honestly tell you this.
Was more nervous in that spa
then I've ever been in that boardroom.
[ Moans ]
Fgo it as a chrild
I come back out as a new man.
God, he was good.
[Trump] A relaxed Versacorp
arrived at Westchester Airport...
to receive their next task.
Okay, this week's task is negotiation,
something that I'm very familiar with.
Each team will be given
a list of items to negotiate...
for the lowest possible price.
I think the men may have an advantage
over the women with this task.
All these guys do for a living
is negotiate.
[Trump] Luckily for the women,
Amy instincts were apparently wrong--
- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
- as Sam led his team into complete chaos.
If we're playing in a game, Bill,
thereis atime the quarter's up at some point.
Okay, we will have-- When the quarter's
up, you lose the ball.
Sam! Sam! You go into the locker room.
I'm saying, nothing's happening.
Sam. We haven't scored and
we've wasted a lot of time.
I really feel it's very important--
Just breathe.
I'm not even sure if I care
about the price of the gold anymore.
You know, sometimes--
Sam!
Sam's crazy.
[Trump]
When the numbers were tallied up,
the women's savings
were twice as much as the men.
Protégé won for
the third consecutive time,
and I gave them
some words of encouragement.
I'm starting to think that
1 may never hire a man again.
Knowing he was in trouble,
Sam called for help.
[Sam]
Dad, I need a quick pep talk.
Just say something.
What's my strength?
Ah! Thank you.
That's what I needed.
I will. Bye. I asked him,
“What's the most important thing about a team?”
He says, “A strong leader.”
[Trump] In my boardroom,
Sam's father proved to be right.
The leadership was key.
- You guys think Sam's a leader?
- No, and here's why Sam's not a leader.
When we have to all, the rest of the
team, tell Sam, “Calm down. Stay calm,”
that's not showing the sign
of a good leader.
- [smt it over, Sam?
-1s what over?
It's over. Don't you think it's over?
I mean, not just these two guys.
- Just everybody, they just don't seem to have--
- No.
You are gonna see
great successes from the men.
Well, you know, I hope I"m gonna really see great
successes from you, Sam, but no longer with us.
You're fired.
[Trump] Everyone thought Sam looked
pretty scary when I fired him.
But he wasn't angry.
He was just passionate about his job.
And in the business world,
passion is a good thing to have.
[Sam] /learned that I've got a lot of
great talents and a lot of great ideas,
and there are better ways
to communicate with certain people.
And [ learned that...
a lot of people think
I"m certifiably insane.
[Trump] For their next task,
I had the teams manage a shift at Planet Hollywood.
The women relied
on their usual tactics.
Hi, you guys. We're having a huge
party at Planet Hollywood tonight.
Where s it? Planet Hollywood,
right down the block.
We'll hook you up.
Planet Hollywood!
Planet Hollywood!
[Trump] The next evening,
desperate for a victory,
Troy and project manager Kwame
came up with a plan.
I came up with a creative spark
of genius.
Here we go, Kwame Jackson!
Ladies and gentlemen, I've got free autographs of Kwame Jackson.
I've got New York native, Wall Street's finest.
We were doing great with it.
Hell, he even started selling merchandise...
signing “Kwame Jackson.”
Ladies, would y'all like a picture
to remember y'alls experience tonight?
[Trump] But Bowie had a tough
time pushing the merchandise.
Or a picture right here?
[Bill] Bowie took responsibility
for merchandising,
and there was definitely
a failure in the plan...
because we did not capitalize
on the merchandise.
- Numbers in retail?
- About 150 last hour.
$150? Oh, my God.
Yeah.
[Trump]
Versacorp came up short yet again,
losing their fourth
consecutive task.
Again the men
are taking a beating.
And it came down to Kwame,
Bowie and Nick in my boardroom.
Nick, you gave up on your team.
But at times you've shown great potential.
1 would love to see you lead
next week.
You, Bowie,
really... have shown a lot,
I'll be honest.
Thank you, sir. But you failed miserably
in merchandising at Planet Hollywood.
And, therefore, Bowie,
I have to say you're fired.
[Bowie ] I would say my biggest tactical
error ls not making myself be a leader.
I bring the best out of everyone I work
with, and I make other people shine.
If I was the project manager,
we wouldn't have lost.
[Trump] In week five,
I summoned both teams to my boardroom.
The men have been
just absolutely decimated.
Look at you four guys.
And look, nobody touched.
In business and in real life when things
aren't working well, you mix 'em up.
[Trump] 1 let the project managers
from each side pick new teams.
Nick started with Amy.
I picked the best-- Amy,
Freka, Katrina, Tammy and Bill,
- They're absolutely phenomenal, - Kristi,
the team captain, she selected me with her first choice.
She selected Kwame, Omarosa,
Jessie and Heidi.
We got an outstanding sales staff.
So we are gonna do very, very well.
[Trump] For their next task, the teams bought
items and resold them at a flea market.
But Kristi choked, and her lack
of leadership frustrated her team.
[ Heidi] We gotta get out here.
This is where the traffic is. This is ridiculous.
Why is it taking so long
to make a-- [ Beeps ] damn decision?
[Kwame ]
Kristi was a little helter-skelter.
I felt like she didn't make some
key decisions when she needed to.
[Trump] 70 make matter
worse, Protégé discovered...
they had lost some of their money.
-[ Omarosa ] We should have more cash is basically
what I'm saying. - [ Troy] That you can't find?
- How far off are you? - [Omarosa ] There's
another $200 that's unaccounted for.
[Troy]
Another 200 unaccounted for?
[Trump] Versacorp's first
victory was guaranteed,
[ Cheering ]
I love you, guys!
[Trump] That night, Kristi confided to Jessie
about who she was taking to the boardroom.
[ Heidi ] When I heard that Kristi
wanted me to go, I was shocked,
Once you backstab me, I'm gonna do the same thing back.
I would have gone to bat for Kristi.
I don't know why I'm nice.
I don't know why.
I mean, take the knife
out of my back. Take it out.
[Trump] In the boardroom,
I was pretty annoyed that Protégé lost their money.
- What happened to it?
- Kristi is not very good with handling money.
She stuffed the money in her back pocket
and asked me to keep an eye on her bottom...
when she took the money out to make
sure none of it dropped on the ground.
You have your finance person
and you have your team leader,
and the money somewhere disappeared
between the hand and the ass?
Kristi made some horrible,
horrible decisions as the project manager.
Unfortunately, she choked
at the worst time,
and that's during leadership time, and that's when
you're supposed to demonstrate your strengths.
Kristi, until tonight
you were a star.
And I don't get it.
You lost the fight.
And you're fired.
[Kristi] Omarosa, halfway through the
task, handed me the finances,
handed me all the receipts and the money,
and said, “I can't do this. It's your problem.”
1 was shocked when she said
some of the things she said.
And it was so obnoxious,
1 didn't feel I had to defend myself...
because there's no defense.
[Trump] Charity is important
in the business world,
So in week six, I asked the teams to negotiate
with celebrities for a charity auction.
You're gonna raise money
for the Elizabeth Glaser..
Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[Trump] Protégé was in trouble when Jessie had
difficultly negotiating with Isaac Mizrahi.
All right, okay.
[Jessie] Mr. Mizrahi. Yeah?
What we're gonna do is,
we're representing an auction--
A charity auction that will
be on tomorrow evening. Right.
So what's gonna go on
at this auction is...
that people are gonna
be bidding on an experience.
Okay, I love how you're speaking to me as
though I've never spoken the English language.
I'm sorry.
“Now, Mr. Mizrahi--"
Jessie totally patronized the man.
She talked to him like he was a four-year-old.
But I'm not certain
that she caught that.
We'll start the bidding at $1,000.
Who'll bid me 2,000?
1 have two. I have three.
I have 4,000. I have 5,000 down here.
[Trump] The auction proved to be
a huge success for the charity--
- Sold, $6,000.
- but a failure for Protégé.
And they found themselves in my
boardroom for the second time in a row...
where Jessie had to defend herself
against Omarosa's attacks.
- You were the lead, Jessie.
-1 was the lead.
- Please take responsibility for your actions.
- I was the lead--
Do you like Omarosa, the way she
just talked to you? Do you like her?
- Do like Omarosa.
- How can you like her the way she's talking?
She's got a very sharp edge. She knocks you,
and you're saying how much you like her.
I mean, either you're not telling the truth,
or you're not very bright. There's something wrong.
Omarosa, you were rude.
You are rude.
And I've seen it.
But I have to say...
that worse than your rudeness
was the way...
Jessie took it.
Please, please don't.
I have no choice. I have no choice.
And I have to say
that you're fired.
[fessie ] I feel like 1 was true to my morals.
I was true to my character.
There's nothing that I compromised along
the way that I could look back on and say,
“Gosh, I really wish
I wouldn't have done that.”
And if I'm gonna make
a mistake like that in front of the world,
I don't wanna regret anything.
[Trump] In week seven,
I gave Protégé a chance to even up the sides.
- We'd like to elect Amy.
- Bye, Ame.
[Trump] A few weeks ago, Amy had been picked
first when the two teams were mixed up.
And now she was being selected by Protégé.
I was impressed,
Now we're on my turf.
This is real estate.
We have two apartments,
and each team...
15 gonna renovate
and then rent the apartment.
The one that rents the apartment
for the highest rent...
and proportionately
the most dollars wins.
So good luck.
But as the new teams
were getting ready to hit the road,
Omarosa was accidently
hit on the head.
[Omarosa] Ouch! Oh, my God.
[ Heidi]
What was that?
Omarosa had a little piece
of plaster fall on her head.
It didn't appear to be that
threatening of an injury that occurred,
[Trump] But Omarosa returned to
the suite and called for a doctor.
Tell me what happened.
Got hit on the head. Am I bleeding or anything?
I don't see any blood.
You got a little bump there.
I don't think you did any damage.
Do you have to do anything strenuous today?
Yeah, actually, I do.
I have to renovate an apartment.
There you go. So take some Advil.
[Trump] Omarosa still wasn't
satisfied, so she went to the hospital.
But the doctors didn't find
anything terribly wrong.
I'd show you, but the cameras
weren't allowed inside.
In the suite, Heidi received
some disturbing news.
Oh, my God. Yeah.
[ Sniffles ]
[Amy] Heidi found out that her mother
has been diagnosed with stage one...
colon cancer, and she
anticipated the worst.
If you want me to leave,
you tell me.
I won't. I'm gonna be fine.
It's just I wish you guys had told me.
All right, bye.
My mom, she's getting operated on this
week, and hopefully will be well,
She wants me here and I wanna be here, and to be
honest, it's keeping me busy, keeping me focused,
You just have to be positive and you have to be
strong, "cause I have to be strong for her.
[Trump] In Brooklyn, project managers
Katrina and Troy needed to decide...
which apartment they were going to
renovate, but they couldn't agree.
[Troy] She says to me,
like we're in third grade,
“You write on a piece of paper
what you want.
“I'll write on a piece
of paper what I want.
We"ll exchange papers.
we"ll open'em up, and we'll start from there.”
- Ready? You wrote it down?
-1 wrote it down.
By God, I wrote,
“I want exactly what you want.”
It's despicable.
I"m just sick to my stomach right now.
So it came to a coin toss, and of
course, he got the one that I wanted.
He's fueled me to the point
where he is not gonna win this.
[Trump]
Versacorp was determined to win,
but Tammy was driving her teammates
absolutely nuts.
[Tammy] Oh, my gosh.
What"s going on over here?
Do you mind if I do part of this little wall?
It looks terrible.
Wait. When it dries, you'll see.
That's gonna dry like that.
No, it will not. I'll bet you $50.
You promise me?
Tammy adds absolutely
no value to the team.
In fact, she only creates obstacles.
And I feel like I have to babysit her.
If we lose this task,
I'm definitely taking Tammy into the boardroom.
[Trump] Versacorp did lose,
but Katrina openly criticized Troy.
- Troy didn't play by the rules of the game.
- Do you think he was unethical?
-1 think he was extremely unethical.
- First thing I learned in negotiation--
if you get emotional and you get personal,
you're losing the negotiation.
Did I cry, Troy?
Look at me in the eyes.
You did not cry.
No.
[Trump] But he duped you.
Nobody has ever duped me.
- You've never ever been duped?
- Nope.
-1 have.
- And I'm not gonna give him credijt for it.
[Tammy] I think we got
duped, to be honest.
[Bill]
Thanks, Tammy.
[Tammy]
Sorry.
[Freka] 1 was so furious at Tammy's
comment about us being duped.
It's so typical of her,
but so out of line.
[Trump] Katrina, with your experience,
you should have been in charge...
of both the renovation
and negotiation.
And, Bill, you weren't
a good negotiator.
I think you should have gotten
a better price for the apartment.
Tammy, you got in the way
of your team.
And your disloyalty
has been just terrible.
And you sort of understood that.
Throughout, or just this one particular time?
Let's say it doesn't matter.
Tammy, you're fired.
[Tammy] I'm a very loyal person.
But if/ see that there's issues...
and problems and I wanna
point them out to people--
The hardest thing for people
to realize is that they had shortcomings.
So I think the team was really
trying to stand up for Katrina,
and they were really trying to say, “No,
she wasn't duped,” although she was.
[Trump] For their eighth task,
[ told the team to sell my latest venture--
bottled water that I called
“Trump Ice.”
- There you have it, folks.
- That's a lot of Trump Ice.
Good luck.
[Trump]
Troy devised a smart plan for Protégé.
We don't have to do
just a one-time delivery.
We can write our purchase order
for 20 cases a week,
and times four weeks,
times six weeks, times ten weeks--
[Troy] My moment of clarity came to me,
and I shared it with the rest of the team.
/said, “If they sell 20 cases a week,
that's ongoing forever and ever.”
Let's say 25 cases a week for four weeks
and give it a good try that way.
-[Troy] It was a spark of genius.
- That works out.
[Trump]
And in the end, Troy's plan worked.
George, how did they do?
I have the figures of the Protégé
team, and I think they did very well.
They sold $6,283.45.
- Carolyn?
- Well, I'm afraid our group didn't do as well.
They brought in total sales
of $4,015.92.
[Trump] Before the boardroom,
Nick and Bill prepared themselves for the worst.
I'm ready for it.
V'l back you up in there.
Bill and I sat down at dinner
and got into it as far as strategy goes.
And I got his back in there.
Ereka's gonna call Bill and 1
into the boardroom,
"cause Katrina's a girl and they're
good friends and all that good stuff.
She better have a damn good reason
as to why she's bringing me in there.
- No more-- [ Beeps ] around.
- Nick, 1 got you covered, man. Don't worry.
But the focus should be
to eliminate her.
I just don't wanna it to be
a full-on character assassination from me.
1 will not fire
until I'm fired upon.
I'm not gonna come out of the box,
unless, obviously, I gotta back you up.
I'll fight though. I mean,
I will really-- I don't wanna get fired.
Here's to victory.
A killer boardroom strategy.
Get what's-her-face eliminated. Yeah.
[Trump] In the boardroom,
Bill and Nick stuck to their plan...
and went on the offensive
against Freka.
- You think you're better than Ereka?
- Yes, I do.
1/ can handle the pressure, Mr. Trump.
[ can effectively run one of your organizations.
- Can Ereka handle it?
- No.
[Trump] Why can't she handle it?
Yeah, this is interesting to me.
"Cause if I can manage
fixing all your screwups,
1/ hope that I can manage
being president of his company.
So, if you're gonna put Nick down,
you might as well put Katrina down.
Oh, absolutely.
[Trump] Why is she gone?
The only reason why Katrina's gone-- Do
you like her 'cause she's your girlfriend?
If she had taken more of a leadership role,
1 would have put her in that hot seat.
You're saying because she didn't
take a leadership role, she's gone.
She is now in this beautiful suite
overlooking the world,
- That was one reason--
- Freka, you never had a strong game plan.
And worst of all,
you let your emotions dictate...
who came into the boardroom.
- Don't say it, Mr. Trump.
- You're fired.
[Freka] The boys,
they've been in this game too long.
They're all screwed up. They're being so
deceptive and not being true to themselves.
Nick completely is one of the duds
amongst the boys.
Bill surprised me so much
on what a chicken he is.
In the boardroom, you should see
him shaking and getting so nervous.
1 will miss Amy, Katrina,
Heidi, Kwame so much.
And I would start a company
with those people in a second.
[Trump] The next morning,
I needed to even up the sides again.
And who do you think
Versacorp asked for?
- We're gonna take Amy.
- [ Bill ] Welcome home.
[Trump] Maybe what you're telling me is
1/ should just give her the job right now.
For their next task,
I asked the teams to pick an artist...
and sell their artwork
ina gallery.
While Versacorp chose
a conventional painter--
I'm not using any trickery.
I'm using good old paint.
- And I'm weaving a story with it.
- Got you.
[Trump] Protégé chose an artist whose
work was much more controversial,
[Meghan] This is a series about a young
girl, Psyche, and her twin sister, Smut.
Psyche is this very prim and proper
pinafored little girl,
and Smut is this rather
aberrant, naughty little girl,
And by the way, the city is ruled
by frogs and their concubines.
[Trump] Later, Heidi and
Omarosa butted heads over lunch.
We don't have time
to sit down for two hours.
No, I'd like to sit down, if that's okay.
We do have the time.
[Omarosa] Heidi doesn't wanna stop and
eat, and I need to sit down.
You guys figure out the eating thing,
and we'll move forward.
“My head. I wanna eat.” [ Beeps]it.
[Laughing]
“Dude, it's my head,
and if I don't get some catered service,
pretty quick,
I"m calling the president.” All right.
[ Heidi] You can go wherever the-- [ Beeps ] you want.
I can't freakin' stand you. [ Beeps ]
You can whine and complain.
Bitch, bitch, bitch.
[Trump] That night.
it was smooth sailing for Versacorp--
Great job, man. 'm really happy-- I'm
very happy for you. Thank you, man.
[Trump]
but a total disaster for Protégé.
Again, her thought process
is far beyond my comprehension.
Just the little “induendos”--
the snake in the grass over there,
the skull of Henry Vill,
She is amazing.
[Trump] The next morning,
Protégé discovered how badly they had been beaten.
Carolyn, what are the numbers?
Versacorp sold $13,600.
Go ahead, George.
Protégé sold one piece for $869.
Wow. That's awful.
- That's getting creamed.
- Yes, itis.
I was offended by some
of the artwork.
And if I was offended,
I'm sure a lot more people were.
As a team,
we chose the wrong artist.
I can't blame anybody but ourselves.
It was a very, very difficult product tosell.
And that was our fault
for choosing that artist.
[Trump] Kwame took Omarosa
and Heidi to the boardroom...
where their differences
came to a head,
Heidi, Omarosa and you don't like each other much.
What was the problem?
My concern was, to be honest with you,
sitting down in a restaurant could take, in New York--
It was a busy day. I was concerned
that would take longer than 25 minutes.
If she had explained it that eloquently to me
yesterday, we probably wouldn't have had a problem.
- You didn't let me get a chance to.
- But because she likes to drop the “F” bomb--
Oh, my God. You gotta be kidding me.
That's excuses.
I don't like the fact that you two argued
over whether or not to have lunch...
when you have a small amount of time,
and you were the one that wanted the lunch.
Omarosa, go out and sell paintings,
or whatever the hell you're doing.
I don't like excuses.
In this case, Omarosa has to go.
You're fired.
[Omarosa] 1 hold my head up high.
1 have absolutely no regrets.
I played the game well.
I'm a smart businesswoman.
And by not being in the finals,
it doesn't change that.
1still go back to my life knowing
that I'm an accomplished woman...
who can do whatever
1 put my mind to.
That is true.
[ Kwame] That is true, yes.
We all thought that it was time
to really celebrate our accomplishments.
So we headed out
to have a few drinks.
- To survival of the fittest.
- Play the game.
If I go out, can we just make an agreement
that we'll just have a toast in my honor,
and then don't bring up my name
ever again, please?
It's down to seven. It'll be down
tosix in a little bit.
We're all fighting for the same job.
It's no longer about friendships.
It's really to win this game.
I'm watching you, baby.
[Trump] The next day, I sent the candidates
into the mean streets of New York City...
to manage a pedicab fleet
and its drivers.
The driver who earns the most money is gonna
get an extra $100 at the end of the day.
The driver who earns the most before
noon, you're gonna get an extra $100.
[Trump]
Protégé jumped out to a quick start...
with a plan to motivate
the pedicab drivers.
Pretty simple. Are they good?
Are they exciting? I"m excited about "em.
[Trump] Versacorp quickly realized they
needed to do more than just collect fares.
[Amy] We could advertise on
the back of the rickshaw.
[Trump] Amy's idea was brilliant,
but Protégé had a different strategy.
They opted to sell
prepaid punch cards.
- Looks legit.
-[Troy] I'm feeling good now.
I like those.
They're gonna look slick.
You guys interested in Manhattan Rickshaw Company?
No, you don't want a ride?
[ Beeps ] Damn it!
I can't win today.
People need to have more sex,
because everyone is just so miserable.
[Trump] But their sales seemed slow,
and Heidi's head wasn't in the game.
[Heidi] This is mentally draining.
You're not sleeping.
It's just exhausting. You're working
seven days a week. You don't get a day off.
You guys?
What's that, you guys?
[Troy] We see the other
team's rickshaw go by.
And I said, “By God, they might've sold
advertising on the back of their rickshaws.”
That's a great idea. I didn't think of it.
[Trump] The ads were a good
idea, and Protégé lost the task.
So they found themselves
in the boardroom...
where I gave project manager Troy
a tough decision.
You're gonna make the choice
as to who goes out now.
You know that?
No, I didn't know that.
Well, now that's what's gonna happen.
All right.
Normally, you keep two.
Well, now you're down to three because you've been decimated.
So you're gonna choose one person
to come back into the boardroom,
one person to go back up
to the suite.
I would have to say
that Kwame goes upstairs.
[Trump] Kwame was excused,
and Carolyn called out Heidi...
for not stepping up.
Heidl, in the time that we've been here,
1 have yet to really see anything out of you.
- That's pretty harsh, right?
- That is very harsh. You're entitled to your opinion. I don't agree.
But everybody has said,
“Troy, he's a good leader,”
including you.
Well, he is a good leader.
And nobody's said that
about you.
In this event, you wouldn't
step up as a leader,
and you barely contributed
as a follower.
Heidi, you're fired.
[ Heidi] What I've learned
from this game is that...
1 love being in sales
and wanna stick to sales.
I'm ready to start selling again.
I'd have to say the least favorite moment
was actually finding that my mom was sick.
I mean, that was really hard
to deal with.
But now, you know,
thank God she's well.
She's out of the hospital. She's fine.
She has to go back in a couple of months for a checkup.
But they got it out.
So I'm really happy about that.
[Trump] With Heidi gone,
only six candidates remain--
Bill, Amy, Katrina,
Nick, Kwame and Troy.
In the coming weeks, they'll face
some of their most difficult tasks.
- They'll work in the glamorous
world of casinos... - [ Beeping ]
And high-priced real estate...
and oversee huge events
such as golf tournaments...
and rock concerts.
The stakes are high.
Only one of these candidates will be
the president of one of my companies.
Who will succeed
and who will fail...
and who will be... the apprentice?
This is a 13-week job interview.
We end up with 16 people
out of 215,000 people.
Sixteen people. They're all winners.
They're all smart.
Which one's the best?
Who knows?
I'm doing my best
to figure it out.
Tough assignment.
I hate firing 'em.
There's not one
of these people...
that I've gotten any
little pleasure in firing,
"cause they're all talented and
they're good people, for the most part.
I invited 16 candidates to New York City...
and gave them the opportunity
to win the dream job of a lifetime.
- I'm here to see Mr. Trump.
- I'm here to see Donald Trump.
[Trump] They came from all walks of life and
lived together in a suite at Trump Tower--
Whoo!
While they competed each week
against one another in a task.
Lemonade. Lemonade.
Rickshaw cowboy!
Come to Planet Hollywood
tonight!
[Trump]
So far, I've fired ten candidates.
Six remain, and only one will become
the president of one of my companies.
My mama's gonna be proud
when she sees me in here.
[ Trump ] Tonight, I'll share my thoughts with you
on some of the highlights of the past ten weeks.
Was it borderline great?
You know and I know it was.
Wait a second.
I did nothing wrong.
And also show you some
never-before-seen moments.
Dad, I need a quick pep talk.
Plus, you'll get a sneak peak
at what's to come.
No more--[ Beeps ] around.

Robin, let them come in, please.
Okay, Mr. Trump will see you now.
You can go in over there.
[Trump] In the boardroom,
/introduced the candidates...
to some very important members
of my organization.
George Ross, my executive
vice president and senior counsel,
And Carolyn Kepcher,
the executive vice president...
and chief operating officer
of my golf courses.
But I was very interested in hearing
from the 16 candidates.
- Where are you from?
- My name's Bowie Hogg. I'm from Dallas, Texas.
I have a business degree from Texas A&M
University, and I'm currently in sales.
I'm Katrina Campins.

Realtors nationwide, and I'm 23 years old.
I'm David Gould. I"m from New York.

I went to medical school,
then switched gears, gotmyMBA.
My name is Omarosa
Manigault-Stallworth.
And I grew up in the rough Westlake
projects in Youngstown, Ohio.
[ Recently completed my master's
and my Ph.D etudes...
at Howard University
in Washington D.C.
Four years ago, I worked at the White House
for the president of the United States.
My name is Amelia Henry, and ll am an M.B.A.
from Austin, Texas. I work in the high-tech industry.
Al the height of the market,
1 was worth in the millions,
but lost most of it
when the market crashed.
How are you doing, Mr. Trump?
My name is Jason Curis.
1 have a property management
company in Detroit.
No matter what kind of relationship
I have with someone,
if they're one day late on the rent, I start the
eviction process because that affects my cash flow.
I might have to evict you
very early. I don't know.
You also have to have heart.
We need heart in this business.
- Okay, go ahead.
- Mr. Trump, my name is Nick Warnock.
And I'm from Los Angeles, California,
by way of Bayonne, New Jersey.
I've dominated copier sales in Southern
California for the past four years.
Hi, I'm Kristi Frank
from California,
where I own a restaurant
in Santa Monica,
and I have two rental properties
by the beach.
Hi, 'm Heidi from Philadelphia.
And I currently
am a senior account executive...
with one of the largest
telecommunications companies in the world.
I'm Jessie.
I didn't go to college,
but when I was 17 years old,
I started a marketing company.
This year I bought a farm
in Wisconsin.
And I'monly 21 years old.
My name is Kwame Jackson,
and I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina.
I work on Wall Street
for a major Fortune 500 company,
and I also hold a degree
from the Harvard Business School.
Mr. Trump, I'm Troy McClain
from Boise, Idaho.
With nothing but a high school diploma,
I'm the president of my own lending and development company.
- So if you need a loan, come see me.
- Okay. Go ahead.
Good afternoon. My name is Bill
Rancic, and I'm from Chicago.
In 1995, I founded Cigars Around the World
in a 300-square-foot studio apartment.
I grew the company to
a multimillion dollar national operation.
Thenl sold it to
a publicly traded company.
My name is Tammy Lee.
'm 36.
I've been a top stockbroker
at a top Wall Street firm.
I'm here to start a new opportunity.
1/ hope this is it.
- Okay.
- My name is Ereka Vetrini.
I"m 27 years old,
and I'm from New York City.
For the last two years,
I've traveled around the world...
working for one of the largest
international cosmetics companies.
Okay, last.
My name is Sam. Mr. Trump,
I've read every book you've written... twice.
Now [ co-own an Internet company
with 70% profit margins.
1 will push and push...
with instinct and passion
in order to be your apprentice.
[Trump] We're gonna be setting
up two teams of eight each.
And I've decided
it's going to be...
men against women.
Each week, you will select
a project manager.
1 will hold the project manager at least
partially responsible for a team's failure.
If your team loses,
you will all meet me in the boardroom...
where somebody
has to get fired.
[Trump]
The women named themselves Protégé.
The men called themselves Versacorp.
Let's put it right here, baby.
Right here.
And on the floor of the New York Stock
Exchange, they were given their first task.
- Who is your project manager?
- Troy McClain.
- Who's your leader?
- Ereka Vetrini.
Okay, Freka, we're bringing you
back to basics.
You're gonna sell lemonade.
[ Trump ] The men of Versacorp chose a
terrible location-- the Fulton Fish Market.
And David had an unorthodox way
of selling lemonade.
Nine dollar, nine dollar, nine dollar!
All right, forget it.
[Sam] I don't think these guys get it.
They don't get it.
We may have to get some guy
to give us a thousand dollars.
I'm giving you my word
that if you write me a check...
for a thousand dollars
for that glass of lemonade,
that you are going to experience
the American dream.
- This guy is going crazy.
- I'm not going crazy.
I'm gonna retire in a few years.
Otherwise, I would have done it just for the heck of it.
Thank you for your time.
[Sam] [ think in order
to change this around,
I need to calm down--
just calm down.
All right.
[Trump]
The women were smarter.
Instead of wasting their time trying
to sell lemonade for a thousand bucks,
they found a good location
and hit the streets.
It's for the lemonade,
but the bonus is my phone number.
Just trying to make some money
on the street.
Not the street. That sounded bad.
Is this your corner?
[Trump] In the end,
Protégé earned twice as much money.
Win!
Because they lost,
Versacorp went to the boardroom...
where Troy chose David and Sam
to join him.
I'm gonna stand right here in front of you,
and if you have to punch me in the stomach...
and tell me to sit down
and shut up, I"ll shut up.
Sit down.
David, do you think if you were the team
leader, the result would have been different?
Not in this case because
sales is not my forte.
Mr. Trump, I don't wanna work
for anybody else in this country.
I come and work for you
and be your apprentice,
and follow the rules,
you wanna work for the best.
-1 am learning here--
- That's a big stretch.
No, it's not a big stretch for me, Mr. Trump,
because I learn fast-- Sam, your're a wild man.
You'll do great,
or you'll be a total disaster.
I haven't figured it out yet.
David, I don't see
that you stepped up at all,
You even admitted that you
wouldn't have been a good leader.
You're fired.
[ David ] I felt that Donald had a pretty good command of the
details, what he had heard from George and Carolyn.
He certainly's
his own decision maker.
It is my completely honest view that
the only real prize is first prize.
If wasn't gonna win it,
might as well get cut early.
Why go through all the hassle
otherwise?
[Trump] In week two,
I introduced the candidates to Donny Deutsch,
one of the biggest names
in advertising.
Their task was to come up with an ad
campaign for the Marquis jet Card.
The women elected Amy
as the project manager.
And I thought her first decision
was pretty smart.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
Okay, guys, so we have
an appointment today...
with the C.EO. and the senior
vice president of marketing at 12:30.
[Trump] However,
I questioned Jason's judgment.
[Jason] We don't have time
to go and meet with them.
It's gonna take an hour.
It's a waste of time.
If you're marketing for a client, how do you know
what to market unless you talk to the client?
[Trump] Tammy's crazy idea
showed that she was willing...
to go all the way.
This is the testicle ad.
This is a testosterone-driven ad.
[Amy]
What part of the plane is that?
Tammy's testicle ad may
compromise our ability...
to win this task.
[Trump]
While Protégé was on the rise,
Versacorp's chances
were falling apart.
[Jason ] Working together with everybody the
last couple of days, Sam was the biggest problem.
And I assigned him small tasks.
And they weren't accomplished.
[Trump]
The women"s risky strategy paid off.
We're gonna go with the women.
And I rewarded them with a private
jet ride to Boston for dinner.
[ All] Cheers. To us.
But the celebration couldn't
cover up the tension building...
between Freka and Omarosa.
- Stay outta my face.
-1 didn't say anything though.
For you to say that,
it should require me to say something.
Being a bitch is your problem.
You have to live with that the rest of your life.
[Omarosa] [ called her a baby.
[ told her to go in the corner...
and get her pacifier and her blanket and
go cry which is what she always does.
I am not talking to you. I am talking.
If you don't like it, I don't give a-- [ Beeps ]
You're emotionally unstable.
That is like calling
the kettle black.
See, there you go
with your racist terms.
- What was that you said about black people?
- Nothing.
Try to contain your prejudice, okay?
[Trump] Back at the suite,
Amy tried to mediate.
I think your approach,
rather than being constructive...
is confrontational,
and it's not productive to our team.
It's so funny. All of you sit around
and talk about each other,
make catty comments.
I'm the only one
that you all call out.
People are bad-mouthing you like hell because
of your lack of organization and management.
Do you realize that?
[Omarosa] Amy tried to put me down
because she was truly threatened by me.
And I just had a little fun
mind game with Amy in return.
It's all fair, believe me, in this game.
[Trump] The men's second loss
led them to my boardroom again...
where Jason pointed
the finger at Sam.
1 gave you one small job
the whole day--
one job the whole day,
and you fell asleep doing it.
No, I did not sleep.
- He was curled up on the side of the floor.
- In the fetal position?
- In the fetal position.
-[Sam] This is good,
Your're looking for somebody that's gonna
be an apprentice in our organization.
I cannot for the life of me visualize
Sam in that type of position.
But he is not the reason
that this particular event failed.
The reason is the team leader
in this case.
You're focusing on the fact that
I didn't meet with the president personally.
That's a big fact.
That's a big fact. Itis.
Itis. Itis, Mr. Trump, but--
Jason, this is a tough one.
You're fired.
[Jason ] I've had a ot of time to think about
where I went wrong or where [ thought I went wrong,
and in my eyes,
I didn't go wrong.
When Sam was sleeping on my shift,
what's to say he's not gonna sleep on somebody else's shift?
1 like Sam. He's a good person.
Would I ever hire him?
No. In fact, I'd fire people
if they were sleeping on the job.
[Trump]
The candidates had the day off,
so the men were determined to change
their luck with a fresh start.
[Bowie ]
We're taking the feminine route right now...
to try and act like a girl, think like a
girl, maybe we'll win like the girls.
What do I do, Sammy?
Do I get butt-naked or not?
Just go down to your boxers.
I kind of feel like an adult film
actor gettin' ready to get prepped.
I mean, I almost feel like I"m goin' in for a rub and a
tug, and it's kind of makin' me a little nervous.
You all set?
[Troy] I can honestly tell you this.
Was more nervous in that spa
then I've ever been in that boardroom.
[ Moans ]
Fgo it as a chrild
I come back out as a new man.
God, he was good.
[Trump] A relaxed Versacorp
arrived at Westchester Airport...
to receive their next task.
Okay, this week's task is negotiation,
something that I'm very familiar with.
Each team will be given
a list of items to negotiate...
for the lowest possible price.
I think the men may have an advantage
over the women with this task.
All these guys do for a living
is negotiate.
[Trump] Luckily for the women,
Amy instincts were apparently wrong--
- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
- as Sam led his team into complete chaos.
If we're playing in a game, Bill,
thereis atime the quarter's up at some point.
Okay, we will have-- When the quarter's
up, you lose the ball.
Sam! Sam! You go into the locker room.
I'm saying, nothing's happening.
Sam. We haven't scored and
we've wasted a lot of time.
I really feel it's very important--
Just breathe.
I'm not even sure if I care
about the price of the gold anymore.
You know, sometimes--
Sam!
Sam's crazy.
[Trump]
When the numbers were tallied up,
the women's savings
were twice as much as the men.
Protégé won for
the third consecutive time,
and I gave them
some words of encouragement.
I'm starting to think that
1 may never hire a man again.
Knowing he was in trouble,
Sam called for help.
[Sam]
Dad, I need a quick pep talk.
Just say something.
What's my strength?
Ah! Thank you.
That's what I needed.
I will. Bye. I asked him,
“What's the most important thing about a team?”
He says, “A strong leader.”
[Trump] In my boardroom,
Sam's father proved to be right.
The leadership was key.
- You guys think Sam's a leader?
- No, and here's why Sam's not a leader.
When we have to all, the rest of the
team, tell Sam, “Calm down. Stay calm,”
that's not showing the sign
of a good leader.
- [smt it over, Sam?
-1s what over?
It's over. Don't you think it's over?
I mean, not just these two guys.
- Just everybody, they just don't seem to have--
- No.
You are gonna see
great successes from the men.
Well, you know, I hope I"m gonna really see great
successes from you, Sam, but no longer with us.
You're fired.
[Trump] Everyone thought Sam looked
pretty scary when I fired him.
But he wasn't angry.
He was just passionate about his job.
And in the business world,
passion is a good thing to have.
[Sam] /learned that I've got a lot of
great talents and a lot of great ideas,
and there are better ways
to communicate with certain people.
And [ learned that...
a lot of people think
I"m certifiably insane.
[Trump] For their next task,
I had the teams manage a shift at Planet Hollywood.
The women relied
on their usual tactics.
Hi, you guys. We're having a huge
party at Planet Hollywood tonight.
Where s it? Planet Hollywood,
right down the block.
We'll hook you up.
Planet Hollywood!
Planet Hollywood!
[Trump] The next evening,
desperate for a victory,
Troy and project manager Kwame
came up with a plan.
I came up with a creative spark
of genius.
Here we go, Kwame Jackson!
Ladies and gentlemen, I've got free autographs of Kwame Jackson.
I've got New York native, Wall Street's finest.
We were doing great with it.
Hell, he even started selling merchandise...
signing “Kwame Jackson.”
Ladies, would y'all like a picture
to remember y'alls experience tonight?
[Trump] But Bowie had a tough
time pushing the merchandise.
Or a picture right here?
[Bill] Bowie took responsibility
for merchandising,
and there was definitely
a failure in the plan...
because we did not capitalize
on the merchandise.
- Numbers in retail?
- About 150 last hour.
$150? Oh, my God.
Yeah.
[Trump]
Versacorp came up short yet again,
losing their fourth
consecutive task.
Again the men
are taking a beating.
And it came down to Kwame,
Bowie and Nick in my boardroom.
Nick, you gave up on your team.
But at times you've shown great potential.
1 would love to see you lead
next week.
You, Bowie,
really... have shown a lot,
I'll be honest.
Thank you, sir. But you failed miserably
in merchandising at Planet Hollywood.
And, therefore, Bowie,
I have to say you're fired.
[Bowie ] I would say my biggest tactical
error ls not making myself be a leader.
I bring the best out of everyone I work
with, and I make other people shine.
If I was the project manager,
we wouldn't have lost.
[Trump] In week five,
I summoned both teams to my boardroom.
The men have been
just absolutely decimated.
Look at you four guys.
And look, nobody touched.
In business and in real life when things
aren't working well, you mix 'em up.
[Trump] 1 let the project managers
from each side pick new teams.
Nick started with Amy.
I picked the best-- Amy,
Freka, Katrina, Tammy and Bill,
- They're absolutely phenomenal, - Kristi,
the team captain, she selected me with her first choice.
She selected Kwame, Omarosa,
Jessie and Heidi.
We got an outstanding sales staff.
So we are gonna do very, very well.
[Trump] For their next task, the teams bought
items and resold them at a flea market.
But Kristi choked, and her lack
of leadership frustrated her team.
[ Heidi] We gotta get out here.
This is where the traffic is. This is ridiculous.
Why is it taking so long
to make a-- [ Beeps ] damn decision?
[Kwame ]
Kristi was a little helter-skelter.
I felt like she didn't make some
key decisions when she needed to.
[Trump] 70 make matter
worse, Protégé discovered...
they had lost some of their money.
-[ Omarosa ] We should have more cash is basically
what I'm saying. - [ Troy] That you can't find?
- How far off are you? - [Omarosa ] There's
another $200 that's unaccounted for.
[Troy]
Another 200 unaccounted for?
[Trump] Versacorp's first
victory was guaranteed,
[ Cheering ]
I love you, guys!
[Trump] That night, Kristi confided to Jessie
about who she was taking to the boardroom.
[ Heidi ] When I heard that Kristi
wanted me to go, I was shocked,
Once you backstab me, I'm gonna do the same thing back.
I would have gone to bat for Kristi.
I don't know why I'm nice.
I don't know why.
I mean, take the knife
out of my back. Take it out.
[Trump] In the boardroom,
I was pretty annoyed that Protégé lost their money.
- What happened to it?
- Kristi is not very good with handling money.
She stuffed the money in her back pocket
and asked me to keep an eye on her bottom...
when she took the money out to make
sure none of it dropped on the ground.
You have your finance person
and you have your team leader,
and the money somewhere disappeared
between the hand and the ass?
Kristi made some horrible,
horrible decisions as the project manager.
Unfortunately, she choked
at the worst time,
and that's during leadership time, and that's when
you're supposed to demonstrate your strengths.
Kristi, until tonight
you were a star.
And I don't get it.
You lost the fight.
And you're fired.
[Kristi] Omarosa, halfway through the
task, handed me the finances,
handed me all the receipts and the money,
and said, “I can't do this. It's your problem.”
1 was shocked when she said
some of the things she said.
And it was so obnoxious,
1 didn't feel I had to defend myself...
because there's no defense.
[Trump] Charity is important
in the business world,
So in week six, I asked the teams to negotiate
with celebrities for a charity auction.
You're gonna raise money
for the Elizabeth Glaser..
Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[Trump] Protégé was in trouble when Jessie had
difficultly negotiating with Isaac Mizrahi.
All right, okay.
[Jessie] Mr. Mizrahi. Yeah?
What we're gonna do is,
we're representing an auction--
A charity auction that will
be on tomorrow evening. Right.
So what's gonna go on
at this auction is...
that people are gonna
be bidding on an experience.
Okay, I love how you're speaking to me as
though I've never spoken the English language.
I'm sorry.
“Now, Mr. Mizrahi--"
Jessie totally patronized the man.
She talked to him like he was a four-year-old.
But I'm not certain
that she caught that.
We'll start the bidding at $1,000.
Who'll bid me 2,000?
1 have two. I have three.
I have 4,000. I have 5,000 down here.
[Trump] The auction proved to be
a huge success for the charity--
- Sold, $6,000.
- but a failure for Protégé.
And they found themselves in my
boardroom for the second time in a row...
where Jessie had to defend herself
against Omarosa's attacks.
- You were the lead, Jessie.
-1 was the lead.
- Please take responsibility for your actions.
- I was the lead--
Do you like Omarosa, the way she
just talked to you? Do you like her?
- Do like Omarosa.
- How can you like her the way she's talking?
She's got a very sharp edge. She knocks you,
and you're saying how much you like her.
I mean, either you're not telling the truth,
or you're not very bright. There's something wrong.
Omarosa, you were rude.
You are rude.
And I've seen it.
But I have to say...
that worse than your rudeness
was the way...
Jessie took it.
Please, please don't.
I have no choice. I have no choice.
And I have to say
that you're fired.
[fessie ] I feel like 1 was true to my morals.
I was true to my character.
There's nothing that I compromised along
the way that I could look back on and say,
“Gosh, I really wish
I wouldn't have done that.”
And if I'm gonna make
a mistake like that in front of the world,
I don't wanna regret anything.
[Trump] In week seven,
I gave Protégé a chance to even up the sides.
- We'd like to elect Amy.
- Bye, Ame.
[Trump] A few weeks ago, Amy had been picked
first when the two teams were mixed up.
And now she was being selected by Protégé.
I was impressed,
Now we're on my turf.
This is real estate.
We have two apartments,
and each team...
15 gonna renovate
and then rent the apartment.
The one that rents the apartment
for the highest rent...
and proportionately
the most dollars wins.
So good luck.
But as the new teams
were getting ready to hit the road,
Omarosa was accidently
hit on the head.
[Omarosa] Ouch! Oh, my God.
[ Heidi]
What was that?
Omarosa had a little piece
of plaster fall on her head.
It didn't appear to be that
threatening of an injury that occurred,
[Trump] But Omarosa returned to
the suite and called for a doctor.
Tell me what happened.
Got hit on the head. Am I bleeding or anything?
I don't see any blood.
You got a little bump there.
I don't think you did any damage.
Do you have to do anything strenuous today?
Yeah, actually, I do.
I have to renovate an apartment.
There you go. So take some Advil.
[Trump] Omarosa still wasn't
satisfied, so she went to the hospital.
But the doctors didn't find
anything terribly wrong.
I'd show you, but the cameras
weren't allowed inside.
In the suite, Heidi received
some disturbing news.
Oh, my God. Yeah.
[ Sniffles ]
[Amy] Heidi found out that her mother
has been diagnosed with stage one...
colon cancer, and she
anticipated the worst.
If you want me to leave,
you tell me.
I won't. I'm gonna be fine.
It's just I wish you guys had told me.
All right, bye.
My mom, she's getting operated on this
week, and hopefully will be well,
She wants me here and I wanna be here, and to be
honest, it's keeping me busy, keeping me focused,
You just have to be positive and you have to be
strong, "cause I have to be strong for her.
[Trump] In Brooklyn, project managers
Katrina and Troy needed to decide...
which apartment they were going to
renovate, but they couldn't agree.
[Troy] She says to me,
like we're in third grade,
“You write on a piece of paper
what you want.
“I'll write on a piece
of paper what I want.
We"ll exchange papers.
we"ll open'em up, and we'll start from there.”
- Ready? You wrote it down?
-1 wrote it down.
By God, I wrote,
“I want exactly what you want.”
It's despicable.
I"m just sick to my stomach right now.
So it came to a coin toss, and of
course, he got the one that I wanted.
He's fueled me to the point
where he is not gonna win this.
[Trump]
Versacorp was determined to win,
but Tammy was driving her teammates
absolutely nuts.
[Tammy] Oh, my gosh.
What"s going on over here?
Do you mind if I do part of this little wall?
It looks terrible.
Wait. When it dries, you'll see.
That's gonna dry like that.
No, it will not. I'll bet you $50.
You promise me?
Tammy adds absolutely
no value to the team.
In fact, she only creates obstacles.
And I feel like I have to babysit her.
If we lose this task,
I'm definitely taking Tammy into the boardroom.
[Trump] Versacorp did lose,
but Katrina openly criticized Troy.
- Troy didn't play by the rules of the game.
- Do you think he was unethical?
-1 think he was extremely unethical.
- First thing I learned in negotiation--
if you get emotional and you get personal,
you're losing the negotiation.
Did I cry, Troy?
Look at me in the eyes.
You did not cry.
No.
[Trump] But he duped you.
Nobody has ever duped me.
- You've never ever been duped?
- Nope.
-1 have.
- And I'm not gonna give him credijt for it.
[Tammy] I think we got
duped, to be honest.
[Bill]
Thanks, Tammy.
[Tammy]
Sorry.
[Freka] 1 was so furious at Tammy's
comment about us being duped.
It's so typical of her,
but so out of line.
[Trump] Katrina, with your experience,
you should have been in charge...
of both the renovation
and negotiation.
And, Bill, you weren't
a good negotiator.
I think you should have gotten
a better price for the apartment.
Tammy, you got in the way
of your team.
And your disloyalty
has been just terrible.
And you sort of understood that.
Throughout, or just this one particular time?
Let's say it doesn't matter.
Tammy, you're fired.
[Tammy] I'm a very loyal person.
But if/ see that there's issues...
and problems and I wanna
point them out to people--
The hardest thing for people
to realize is that they had shortcomings.
So I think the team was really
trying to stand up for Katrina,
and they were really trying to say, “No,
she wasn't duped,” although she was.
[Trump] For their eighth task,
[ told the team to sell my latest venture--
bottled water that I called
“Trump Ice.”
- There you have it, folks.
- That's a lot of Trump Ice.
Good luck.
[Trump]
Troy devised a smart plan for Protégé.
We don't have to do
just a one-time delivery.
We can write our purchase order
for 20 cases a week,
and times four weeks,
times six weeks, times ten weeks--
[Troy] My moment of clarity came to me,
and I shared it with the rest of the team.
/said, “If they sell 20 cases a week,
that's ongoing forever and ever.”
Let's say 25 cases a week for four weeks
and give it a good try that way.
-[Troy] It was a spark of genius.
- That works out.
[Trump]
And in the end, Troy's plan worked.
George, how did they do?
I have the figures of the Protégé
team, and I think they did very well.
They sold $6,283.45.
- Carolyn?
- Well, I'm afraid our group didn't do as well.
They brought in total sales
of $4,015.92.
[Trump] Before the boardroom,
Nick and Bill prepared themselves for the worst.
I'm ready for it.
V'l back you up in there.
Bill and I sat down at dinner
and got into it as far as strategy goes.
And I got his back in there.
Ereka's gonna call Bill and 1
into the boardroom,
"cause Katrina's a girl and they're
good friends and all that good stuff.
She better have a damn good reason
as to why she's bringing me in there.
- No more-- [ Beeps ] around.
- Nick, 1 got you covered, man. Don't worry.
But the focus should be
to eliminate her.
I just don't wanna it to be
a full-on character assassination from me.
1 will not fire
until I'm fired upon.
I'm not gonna come out of the box,
unless, obviously, I gotta back you up.
I'll fight though. I mean,
I will really-- I don't wanna get fired.
Here's to victory.
A killer boardroom strategy.
Get what's-her-face eliminated. Yeah.
[Trump] In the boardroom,
Bill and Nick stuck to their plan...
and went on the offensive
against Freka.
- You think you're better than Ereka?
- Yes, I do.
1/ can handle the pressure, Mr. Trump.
[ can effectively run one of your organizations.
- Can Ereka handle it?
- No.
[Trump] Why can't she handle it?
Yeah, this is interesting to me.
"Cause if I can manage
fixing all your screwups,
1/ hope that I can manage
being president of his company.
So, if you're gonna put Nick down,
you might as well put Katrina down.
Oh, absolutely.
[Trump] Why is she gone?
The only reason why Katrina's gone-- Do
you like her 'cause she's your girlfriend?
If she had taken more of a leadership role,
1 would have put her in that hot seat.
You're saying because she didn't
take a leadership role, she's gone.
She is now in this beautiful suite
overlooking the world,
- That was one reason--
- Freka, you never had a strong game plan.
And worst of all,
you let your emotions dictate...
who came into the boardroom.
- Don't say it, Mr. Trump.
- You're fired.
[Freka] The boys,
they've been in this game too long.
They're all screwed up. They're being so
deceptive and not being true to themselves.
Nick completely is one of the duds
amongst the boys.
Bill surprised me so much
on what a chicken he is.
In the boardroom, you should see
him shaking and getting so nervous.
1 will miss Amy, Katrina,
Heidi, Kwame so much.
And I would start a company
with those people in a second.
[Trump] The next morning,
I needed to even up the sides again.
And who do you think
Versacorp asked for?
- We're gonna take Amy.
- [ Bill ] Welcome home.
[Trump] Maybe what you're telling me is
1/ should just give her the job right now.
For their next task,
I asked the teams to pick an artist...
and sell their artwork
ina gallery.
While Versacorp chose
a conventional painter--
I'm not using any trickery.
I'm using good old paint.
- And I'm weaving a story with it.
- Got you.
[Trump] Protégé chose an artist whose
work was much more controversial,
[Meghan] This is a series about a young
girl, Psyche, and her twin sister, Smut.
Psyche is this very prim and proper
pinafored little girl,
and Smut is this rather
aberrant, naughty little girl,
And by the way, the city is ruled
by frogs and their concubines.
[Trump] Later, Heidi and
Omarosa butted heads over lunch.
We don't have time
to sit down for two hours.
No, I'd like to sit down, if that's okay.
We do have the time.
[Omarosa] Heidi doesn't wanna stop and
eat, and I need to sit down.
You guys figure out the eating thing,
and we'll move forward.
“My head. I wanna eat.” [ Beeps]it.
[Laughing]
“Dude, it's my head,
and if I don't get some catered service,
pretty quick,
I"m calling the president.” All right.
[ Heidi] You can go wherever the-- [ Beeps ] you want.
I can't freakin' stand you. [ Beeps ]
You can whine and complain.
Bitch, bitch, bitch.
[Trump] That night.
it was smooth sailing for Versacorp--
Great job, man. 'm really happy-- I'm
very happy for you. Thank you, man.
[Trump]
but a total disaster for Protégé.
Again, her thought process
is far beyond my comprehension.
Just the little “induendos”--
the snake in the grass over there,
the skull of Henry Vill,
She is amazing.
[Trump] The next morning,
Protégé discovered how badly they had been beaten.
Carolyn, what are the numbers?
Versacorp sold $13,600.
Go ahead, George.
Protégé sold one piece for $869.
Wow. That's awful.
- That's getting creamed.
- Yes, itis.
I was offended by some
of the artwork.
And if I was offended,
I'm sure a lot more people were.
As a team,
we chose the wrong artist.
I can't blame anybody but ourselves.
It was a very, very difficult product tosell.
And that was our fault
for choosing that artist.
[Trump] Kwame took Omarosa
and Heidi to the boardroom...
where their differences
came to a head,
Heidi, Omarosa and you don't like each other much.
What was the problem?
My concern was, to be honest with you,
sitting down in a restaurant could take, in New York--
It was a busy day. I was concerned
that would take longer than 25 minutes.
If she had explained it that eloquently to me
yesterday, we probably wouldn't have had a problem.
- You didn't let me get a chance to.
- But because she likes to drop the “F” bomb--
Oh, my God. You gotta be kidding me.
That's excuses.
I don't like the fact that you two argued
over whether or not to have lunch...
when you have a small amount of time,
and you were the one that wanted the lunch.
Omarosa, go out and sell paintings,
or whatever the hell you're doing.
I don't like excuses.
In this case, Omarosa has to go.
You're fired.
[Omarosa] 1 hold my head up high.
1 have absolutely no regrets.
I played the game well.
I'm a smart businesswoman.
And by not being in the finals,
it doesn't change that.
1still go back to my life knowing
that I'm an accomplished woman...
who can do whatever
1 put my mind to.
That is true.
[ Kwame] That is true, yes.
We all thought that it was time
to really celebrate our accomplishments.
So we headed out
to have a few drinks.
- To survival of the fittest.
- Play the game.
If I go out, can we just make an agreement
that we'll just have a toast in my honor,
and then don't bring up my name
ever again, please?
It's down to seven. It'll be down
tosix in a little bit.
We're all fighting for the same job.
It's no longer about friendships.
It's really to win this game.
I'm watching you, baby.
[Trump] The next day, I sent the candidates
into the mean streets of New York City...
to manage a pedicab fleet
and its drivers.
The driver who earns the most money is gonna
get an extra $100 at the end of the day.
The driver who earns the most before
noon, you're gonna get an extra $100.
[Trump]
Protégé jumped out to a quick start...
with a plan to motivate
the pedicab drivers.
Pretty simple. Are they good?
Are they exciting? I"m excited about "em.
[Trump] Versacorp quickly realized they
needed to do more than just collect fares.
[Amy] We could advertise on
the back of the rickshaw.
[Trump] Amy's idea was brilliant,
but Protégé had a different strategy.
They opted to sell
prepaid punch cards.
- Looks legit.
-[Troy] I'm feeling good now.
I like those.
They're gonna look slick.
You guys interested in Manhattan Rickshaw Company?
No, you don't want a ride?
[ Beeps ] Damn it!
I can't win today.
People need to have more sex,
because everyone is just so miserable.
[Trump] But their sales seemed slow,
and Heidi's head wasn't in the game.
[Heidi] This is mentally draining.
You're not sleeping.
It's just exhausting. You're working
seven days a week. You don't get a day off.
You guys?
What's that, you guys?
[Troy] We see the other
team's rickshaw go by.
And I said, “By God, they might've sold
advertising on the back of their rickshaws.”
That's a great idea. I didn't think of it.
[Trump] The ads were a good
idea, and Protégé lost the task.
So they found themselves
in the boardroom...
where I gave project manager Troy
a tough decision.
You're gonna make the choice
as to who goes out now.
You know that?
No, I didn't know that.
Well, now that's what's gonna happen.
All right.
Normally, you keep two.
Well, now you're down to three because you've been decimated.
So you're gonna choose one person
to come back into the boardroom,
one person to go back up
to the suite.
I would have to say
that Kwame goes upstairs.
[Trump] Kwame was excused,
and Carolyn called out Heidi...
for not stepping up.
Heidl, in the time that we've been here,
1 have yet to really see anything out of you.
- That's pretty harsh, right?
- That is very harsh. You're entitled to your opinion. I don't agree.
But everybody has said,
“Troy, he's a good leader,”
including you.
Well, he is a good leader.
And nobody's said that
about you.
In this event, you wouldn't
step up as a leader,
and you barely contributed
as a follower.
Heidi, you're fired.
[ Heidi] What I've learned
from this game is that...
1 love being in sales
and wanna stick to sales.
I'm ready to start selling again.
I'd have to say the least favorite moment
was actually finding that my mom was sick.
I mean, that was really hard
to deal with.
But now, you know,
thank God she's well.
She's out of the hospital. She's fine.
She has to go back in a couple of months for a checkup.
But they got it out.
So I'm really happy about that.
[Trump] With Heidi gone,
only six candidates remain--
Bill, Amy, Katrina,
Nick, Kwame and Troy.
In the coming weeks, they'll face
some of their most difficult tasks.
- They'll work in the glamorous
world of casinos... - [ Beeping ]
And high-priced real estate...
and oversee huge events
such as golf tournaments...
and rock concerts.
The stakes are high.
Only one of these candidates will be
the president of one of my companies.
Who will succeed
and who will fail...
and who will be... the apprentice?
This is a 13-week job interview.
We end up with 16 people
out of 215,000 people.
Sixteen people. They're all winners.
They're all smart.
Which one's the best?
Who knows?
I'm doing my best
to figure it out.
Tough assignment.
I hate firing 'em.
There's not one
of these people...
that I've gotten any
little pleasure in firing,
"cause they're all talented and
they're good people, for the most part.
