The Apprentice (2004–2017): Season 1, Episode 15 - Down to the Wire: Part 2 - full transcript

[Trump] Over three months
ago, /invited 16 candidates...

to come to New York City for the chance
to win the dream job of a lifetime.

Trump Tower, please.

They came from all walks of life.

Some were self-made entrepreneurs.

Others learned about business from some of
the finest business schools in the country.

A few had only
a high school diploma.

Venture capitalists came to compete
against copier salesmen.

But they all shared the same goal--

to work for me as my apprentice.

I divided the candidates into two teams--
men versus women.



They gave themselves corporate names.

- What is your team name?
- Versacorp.

Protégé Corporation.

Here are your instructions.

Fach week,
1 assigned them a business task,

and my executives, George Ross
and Carolyn Kepcher,

were on hand to observe and critique
their every move.

Well, they got the right guy up here.
Yeah.

[Trump]
Each team elected a project manager...

who would be partially responsible
for the team's success or failure.

I called the losing team
into my boardroom,

and the project manager
picked two people...

that they thought contributed
to the loss.

Then, after each of them
argued their case,



one of them was fired.

- You're fired.
- You're fired.

This is a tough one.
You're fired.

- On the first four tasks--
- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

[ Couldn't believe
how the women of Protége...

repeatedly outsmarted
the men of Versacorp and easily won.

I'm starting to think that
1 may never hire a man again.

[Trump]
One by one, I fired David,

Jason, Sam and Bowie.

I am sick and tired...

of getting our asses
handed to us.

We haven't won-- [ Beeps ] dude,
and we're gonna be another man down as of tomorrow.

[Trump]
Versacorp was getting desperate.

But when [ told the teams
to manage Planet Hollywood,

Bill thought Kwame went too far
when he sold autographed basketballs.

- Thank you.
- Was it borderline gray?

- You know and I know it was.
-1 didn't sell the kid crack.

[Trump] Meanwhile, the women of Protégé
were having problems of their own.

Being a bitch is gonna be your problem.
You have to live with that for the rest of your life.

I didn't come here to make friends.
I said that from day one.

[Trump]
By week five, the men were decimated,

and I gave them a chance
to pick new teams.

We're gonna do what we call in business
a corporate reshuffle.

Now, both groups consisted
of men and women.

lam totally excited, This is a completely
different dynamic, working with guys.

[Trump]
I then challenged the teams...

to buy items and resell them
for a profit at a flea market.

Hey, you!
Ten dollars!

[Trump] And Versacorp finally
celebrated its first victory.

Good job, guys.
I love you guys!

[Trump] In the boardroom,
Kristi didn't defend herself..

And was the first woman fired,

Then I let Jessie go
for being too timid.

Tammy drove her team nuts.
FEreka lost her cool,

And Omarosa lost it completely.

I've been running around
with my head killin” me, Kwame.

[ Sobbing]

Mr. Trump,
I've worked for the last two weeks--

We all have problems.

I don't like excuses.

Omarosa has to go.
You're fired.

Then I fired two more candidates--
Heidi and Katrina.

By week 77, I saw teammates Bill
and Kwame emerge as rising stars...

with vastly different
business styles and backgrounds.

Bill has done an excellent job
aligning himself with fantastic talent.

[Troy] Kwame's got a polished veneer.
He's got a Harvard degree.

He knows how to interact with people.

[Trump]
At the Taj Mahal task in Atlantic City,

[ required the candidates
to attract and register new gamblers.

Bill and Kwame had different strategies.

Bill went for the V.LP.s.

The game was not gonna be
won or lost on volume.

It was gonna be won or lost on
the quality of player that you brought through.

[Trump]
Kwame went for shock value.

[Kwame ] The tiger was
[ Beeps ] phenomenal.

It was a very Donald Trump thing to do.
Like in a basketball game,

there's something demoralizing
about dunkin' on the other team...

and giving em like
a full just-- mmm!

When we brought the tiger out,
we dunked on em.

[Trump] And Kwame chalked up his
first victory as project manager.

Victory!
Yes!

[Trump] A week later,
Kwame used his Harvard polish...

to outshine his friend Troy's
raw talent.

Well, Troy,
1 have to say you're fired.

Last week, I dissolved the teams,
and the final four--

Amy, Nick, Kwame and Bill--

faced a tough series of round-robin
interviews with my top-ranking executives.

What are you gonna bring to the table
other than your charisma?

[Norma] Do you consider
yourself a loyal employee?

[ Charlie ] What do you think their
perception is of why you're here?

'Cause I sure as hell
can't figure it out.

Thank you for your time.

[Trump] My executives gave me
their impressions in the boardroom.

- Who are you most impressed with?
- Bill.

Kwame's got the long-term potential
of what we're looking for.

- What did you think of Nick?
-1 think he's a little bit too slick for his own good.

- What did you think of Amy?
- Amy kind of reminded me of a Stepford wife.

Her answers were basically meaningless.

[Trump]
As a result, I fired two more candidates.

First, Nick.
Then, Amy.

Now, only two candidates remain.

Bill, an idea man who started
a multimillion-dollar cigar company,

has come far due to
his business savvy and his street smarts.

I've created some incentives.

Whoever can ring up the most gross
sales per hour gets $100 that hour.

You can win it again two hours later.
You can win it again the next hour.

[Trump]
Kwame, a solid competitor...

who holds an M.B.A.
from the Harvard Business School,

has managed to steer clear of conflict.

His management training
and calm, collected manner...

has separated him from the pack.

We need to have as many people
kind of on the front lines as possible...

with just a skeleton crew
on the interior.

"Cause you don't wanna be out there
while they're in session.

My management style is to have great people,
tell 'em what to do, get the hell out of their way.

[Trump] From the top of Trump Tower,
the final two faced the future.

- May the best man win.
-1 think we already have.

[Trump] After weeks of testing their skills in
business, from management to marketing,

1 gave Bill and Kwame
their final task.

Bill, you'll run
the Chrysler Trump Golf Tournament..

In Briarcliff Manor
at Trump National Golf Club.

Kwame, you'll be in charge of the
Jessica Simpson concert in Atlantic City.

[Trump] They drafted their
former teammates to help them.

Bill, it's your shot.
Go ahead, pick.

- I'm gonna pick Amy.
- That's not a bad pick.

- Kwame.
- I'm gonna pick my main man in combat, Troy McClain.

- I'm gonna pick Katrina.
- Okay.

- Omarosa.
- Very good.

- Nick.
- Okay.

-1 will take Heidi.
- Very good.

[Trump] The situation turned
grim almost immediately,

as both Kwame and Bill
found themselves in way over their heads.

Bill was disorganized,

[Amy] You've got to be kidding.
This many boxes?

Oh, my God,

[Trump]
And Lesley Rey,

the manager of my Trump National Golf
Course, was not impressed,

This is a lot of stuff.

[Bill] I'm not gonna worry
about what Lesley thinks,

"cause I got a job to do tomorrow
and I gotta get it done.

[Trump]
Meanwhile, in Atlantic City,

Omarosa received an important phone call
from Diane, the head of transportation.

[Diane ]
I called Omarosa and told her...

to make sure that Jessica and her band
arrived when they were supposed to arrive.

This transportation has to be coordinated.

Is there any way that you can go ahead and
make the arrangements for the transportation?

Because, unfortunately,
we're sitting in the middle of a--

- What was your phone call?
- I'm not gonna have that conversation with you.

[Omarosa]
It really was not a big deal at all.

[Trump] But the next day,
Kwame heard a very different story from Omarosa.

Let me get this story straight. You gave Omarosa
a call last night at dinner about this issue.

- Mm-hmm. -1 called her before we ever went to dinner.
- I'm talking about Mark Anthony.

But I didn't get her
when they called me at Mark Anthony.

They just told me I needed to call back the office.
She had already left.

[Trump]
As aresult,

not only did Kwame lose control
over his team,

he lost Jessica Simpson.

Jessica Simpson was missing. The driver was standing
at her terminal, and there was no record of her.

You need to find out what the right flights are
and what time these people are gonna be arriving.

[Trump]
Tonight, the two men go head-to-head..

In the final hours of
the most demanding job interview ever.

Both will return to the boardroom,

but only one will be asked to stay...

and become the president
of one of my companies.

Only one will be given
the dream job of a lifetime.

Only one will be... the apprentice.

Eight.
Easy eight. Eight.

Six. Easy six.

How do you lose a rock star?

[Omarosa]
Jessica Simpson was missing.

She was nowhere to be found.

Debrief in our sweatbox here.
Yeah.

I spoke to her
about Jessica missing.

And then she never called me back.
So I never talked to her about her travel route.

[Kwame ]
Omarosa just totally dropped the ball.

I would fire Omarosa because she's not competent,
but 1 didn't have the luxury of doing that.

Hi, is this Jessica?

Hi, Jessica, it's Omarosa.
How are you?

Where are you located now?

Are you in the hotel?
[Kwame ] Actually, what happened was...

Jessica Simpson's people
had booked their own transportation.

No one had told us that, and we booked transportation
on top of that. It confused Jessica a little bit.

But in the end, she arrived safely.

So Omarosaand I
went to meet Jessica in her suite.

How are you, sir?
How are you?

Kwame Jackson.
Nice to meet you.

Can we comeonin?
Absolutely.

Thank you. All right.
Hi, there.

Good to meet you. Hi, Nick.
Is everything to your liking?

It's amazing. Beautiful.

It's huge. How are you?
Nice to meet you, Miss Simpson.

Nice to meet you too. My name's Kwame.
This is Omarosa, my colleague.

When I couldn't find you, 1 said,
“ have lost the biggest rock star in the country.”

I was so confused.
I didn't know what to do.

So I called my production manager,
"cause he was the only one I could get ahold of.

We went through the back way.
You're being a trouper, so thank you so much--

Oh, yeah, no, it's fine.

Believe me, logistically, we're gonna make
sure that everything is really, really tight.

Thank you again.
Thank you.

- See you in the morning.
- See you in the morning. All right.

Thank you. [ Kwame ] Everything was straight.
We got everything covered.

There was a few balls up in the air, but all the major
stuff is taken care of, and I feel good about that.

Good morning. What's going on,
other than it's cold and dark?

[Bill] Saturday morning,
[ think we got up at about 4:30.

We wanted to get
to the country club by 6:00.

I'd rather have more time
than not enough time.

I saw somebody in here earlier.

Hello? Ah, back again.
How are you?

[Bill] I got the troops up
early, and they were supportive.

When I popped my head out of the door
at 5:15, Katrina was ready to go.

It was the first time in 13 weeks that she's been
ready to go on time. So I gotta give her credit.

I owe her one, that's for sure.

I was given the task of being the tournament
director at Trump National Golf Course.

It was the Chrysler Trump
Golf Invitational...

benefiting the Ike Austin
Diabetes Foundation.

I knew it was gonna be a great day.
Good morning.

How are ya?
One thing, though.

We somehow--

In transition,
we misplaced a Marquis Jet sign.

It was delivered a few days ago,
and it was put in a model home, we think.

Give me a description of it.
It's a sign that says “Marquis Jet.”

[ think it's a black sign
with white lettering.

All right, I'll take a look.
If I locate it, I'll call you.

How you doin'? All right?
Is there anything that we should--

Looks like you're gonna have
a heavy frost delay.

So it looks like it's gonna be
10:30 or so.

That's gonna-- Ooh.
Yeah, it's gonna push you back.

Okay. It's gonna screw up
your schedule a little bit.

What do you normally do when
there's a frost delay in an outing?

Sit around and drink a lot of coffee
and talk, and that's it.

That's all they can do.
Okay.

[Bill] To preserve the condition of the
course, you can't go out there...

while there's frost on the grass,

'cause the grass cracks,
and it causes a lot of problems.

We were supposed to tee off at 9:00 a.m.,
and the superintendent said...

that it was gonna be a 10:30 start now
because of the frost.

So it was an hour and a half delay.

We're gonna have frost delay today,
so we're gonna be delayed about an hour, it looks like.

I haven't really processed it yet.

It's probably a good thing that I haven't,
because I don't wanna stress out.

I wanna stay relaxed,
I wanna stay calm.

"'M worried about the sign.
That's a problem.

Where was it seen?
Katrina said she saw it in the model home.

[Line Ringing ]

How you doin'? Sorry to bother you. You haven't,
by chance, had any luck with that Marquis jet sign, huh?

They're a big sponsor,
and if we lose that sign,

it could be a little bit
of a problem.

[Amy] We had quite a few signs from
our sponsors that were lost or missing.

That was a pretty stressful situation
for me and I think for Bill as well,

because we had contractual obligations
to display the signs that were lost.

It's says “The Marquis Jet Card,”
and it's black in color, I believe.

[Bill] We had to maintain good
relations with the sponsors.

I knew that was critical.
These people were putting up a lot of money.

If you see that Marquis Jet sign,
just let one of us know.

Okay.
Thanks a lot.

[Bill] Just as we're looking
for the Marquis Jet sign,

the two Marquis Jet representatives
were approaching.

You guys cool?
Yeah, I think we're good.

Everything's all right?
What time--

We're looking at 10:30.
This is kind of the temporary time.

We're gonna get an update
in about five minutes.

And what time will we bring--
will the sign go up?

As soon as we get clearance
to drive on the course.

No one can go on the course right now
Just 'cause of the frost. Yeah, the frost.

Just have some coffee, donuts, whatever.
'm in the main office if you need me.

Someone will be able
to get ahold of me.

[Bill]
They're the Marquis jet owners.

- Do you think you have any idea where it's at?
- Right in here.

It was big.
I'm gonna come with ya.

[ Beeps ] Almighty.
If that's it, I'm gonna freak.

Please tell me it's in here.

You know, I'm gonna take
arun down to the Dumpster,

just for some weird chance
that it got thrown out.

I'll be right back.
Thanks.

Sweet Ginger Brown.

How this [ Beeps ]
ended up here, I don't know.

[Amy]
We had so many boxes of crap...

that I think that
getting rid of the mess in the office,

we picked up the Marquis Jet sign
that was in a box...

and assumed that it was trash.

I think we have metal stakes to go into this foam core.
And then they go in the ground.

[Bill] And it was literally
about a five-second gap...

between when the sign was found and
when the Marquis jet guys were walking in.

So, I mean, it was as if we had it waiting
for them when they pulled up. It was great.

We're gonna have fun there,
you guys.

Uh, here's the deal.
8:30, um--

8:30, your place.
We're gonna meet here...

with the folks
from Operation Smile.

[Troy] This morning,
Kwame and myself had a meeting...

with Didli Sides and Beth
from Operation Smile.

Jessica Simpson is the spokesperson
for Operation Smile.

What it is it's for children that have cleft
pallets and trying to get operations for 'em.

They can't afford the operations.

This is what a screening looks like.
It's a two-week medical mission.

- And what we primarily do are cleft lips and cleft pallets.
- Okay.

And that's it right there.
There's your before picture and your after picture.

Kwame ] lot up at 6:30 this
morning after going to bed at 2.00.

So not much sleep for the weary.

The big event for the morning is
obviously the 10:00 breakfast,

along with the Operation Smile folks,

Mark Brown, the C.E.O. of the Taj Mahal,

and Jessica Simpson and her husband.

Good morning.
I think you know these folks.

Thanks for having us this morning.
Absolutely. Come in.

This is George.
How are you?

And Mark Brown.
How are you?

[Kwame ] Omarosa was originally
in charge of the breakfast.

She said she did not have capacity, and whether we
could take it over. Troy took over the breakfast.

We walked in at 10:00,
and no one had begun anything.

It was at 10:00.
No, no one said specifically 10:00.

Not to us. So if you'd like,
what we can do...

as quickly as possible,
just try to get some cold stuff up here.

What happened?
Well, I think that...

Kwame was under the understanding
it was specifically at 10:00.

But we were not told it was specifically at 10:00.
Did anyone talk to Food and Beverage?

Yeah, we did talk
to Food and Beverage.

Troy took over the breakfast.

Unfortunately, Troy never got back to me
to say it was specifically 10:00 or not.

[Omarosa] Troy had a meeting with Jay,
the head of catering for the Taj Mahal,

and talked about the logistics
for the V.I.P. breakfast.

He did not follow up with Jay after that
meeting to make sure that everything was done.

Can we have the butler just prepare
breakfast for Miss Simpson to her liking?

I'll get something
as quickly as I can.

Let me run.
My apologies, lay.

May I speak with you for a moment, please?
Can you excuse us for a second?

[Omarosa]
Kwame is being extremely laid-back,

and I think that
he needs to be a little more intense...

and just exert a little more energy
when it comes to these things.

I know he's being very cool about it,
and I don't want to see him acting erratic,

but he needs to be
a little more expressive.

Lay] Once the breakfast was turned over to
Troy, 1/ had no contact with Troy.

- At all?
- No. So-—-

[Mark ] So we're all walking in assuming
the food's all sitting there and set.

Nobody spoke to Food and Beverage.
How can it be set?

We just kind of knocked on the door.
I don't even know if Nick knew we were coming at 10:00.

You know I'm pretty upset about the whole
thing, because it makes us look bad.

Yes. You're not prepared. I said to you, “Check.
Double check. Recheck.”

You counted on Troy. First, it was you.
You passed it on to Omarosa.

She passed it on to Troy.
Troy never talked to Food and Beverage.

This is you. Don't count on them.
They're not here anymore.

You are.
Okay.

[Mark ]
Kwame's team killed him.

His selection hurt a lot
what he did here today.

Looking at Kwame under pressure,
he seems to be cracking a little bit.

Are you stressed like I'm stressed?

- Troy, you in the office?
- No, I'm up in the room.

Hey, guys.
How are you?

[Heidi] Good. How are you?
[ Troy ] How did it go?

Uh, there was a big snafu.

Why?
The food wasn't ready.

What?
The food wasn't ready.

- Did it all work out, though?
- It all worked out, but Mark was upset with me.

That part didn't go-- I mean, it's worked
out, but it didn't go over well.

- But, you know-- -[Troy] [ told
Jay Chesterton and Omarosa--

I know you did. I mean,
Troy made an error with the breakfast.

But when Troy told me that breakfast
ls gonna take place at this time,

we've had this meeting, we told this person
that, that's all you can do.

I can't after that go back and say,
you know,

“Jay, did my team actually sit down with you?
Did they actually tell you this time?”

I mean, that's just--
To me, that's just micromanaging people.

[ Think that's a bull-- [ Beeps ]
management style.

So when I got there, Jay was like,
you Know,

“I didn't know how many people.
I heard 9:30. Then I heard 10:00.”

But you, me and Omarosa
talked to him the night--

And nothing was prepared.
Okay.

[Bill] How often do you normally
get updates on the frost?

As often as you check in
with them.

I figured it was in the last half hour.
We're looking at 10:30-ish. Okay.

[Lesley] The frost delay ls
gonna push back the tournament.

It's gonna push back the reception.
It's gonna push everything back,

and it's gonna just sort of
put a little kink in the plans...

with Bill's schedule of events.

So we'll see how Bill handles it.

Have you seen Mr. Trump? Do you know anything about him?
We have Mr. Trump fully accommodated.

I've got him ready to go,
so when he walks up, his stuff is good.

His caddie has the bags,
has his irons.

Do you know when he's arriving?
We do not know when he's arriving.

Be aware of his arrival.
Absolutely.

[ Horn Honks ]

There's no one manning
the gift table at all.

That's gotta get taken care of,
"cause it looks like-- [ Beeps ]

Katrina, 'm in front of the gift table. Where you at?
Nick, any update on that frost delay?

Hi, Harvey.
Hi, everybody.

It's exciting, huh?

Beautiful. Hello. Mr. Trump, Brian Davenport.
Nice to meet you.

Nice seeing you.
Thanks for your hosting.

Will you just check on the frost delay and get an
update for me on what the frost delay is looking like?

No cheating.
[ All Laughing ]

Okay? No cheating.

Mr. Trump.
ls he doing a good job?

He'd better be doing a good job.
He'll get fired so fast.

He'll be fired like a dog.

Your clubs are okay? Your bag and everything?
Everything's perfect.

[ Bill ] Mr. Trump announced to everyone there that
if I screw this one up, I was gonna get canned,

He did it in a joking manner, but, you know, it's true.
There's a lot of pressure.

Obviously, I wanna win this,

because from a financial standpoint it's gonna be
great, and from an opportunity standpoint.

There's 3 ot at stake here. You definitely
feel the pressure bearing down on your back.

When are we, uh--
When are we going out?

We have a frost delay right now. We're looking
at at least an hour to an hour and a half delay.

No later than 7030 Were supposed
to go to Atlantic City from here.

- We're working on it.
- No later than 10:30.

Troy dropped the ball
so bad on this breakfast.

We've gotta rebound from the breakfast
with an awesome meet and greet.

The problem is also you have to realize
I was in charge of it.

And now, I don't mind it 'cause it's good.
It's a helpful hand. But now, Troy's also in charge of it.

And it's too many
chefs in the kitchen.

[ Heidi]
The meet and greet was my responsibility.

And then Kwame said,
“Troy, you're gonna help Heidi with it.”

I felt that Kwame didn't trust me enough.
And if that's the case,

when the morale's not there and you're like,
“My boss doesn't trust me,” screw that.

[ Heidi ] Can I just express
my concerns right now?

It's not personal.
Well, it actually is.

[Coughs ]
This is what I have a problem with.

I was in charge of meet and greet. You also put Troy in charge, which is fine.
If that's the way you wanna do it, that's fine.

I don't know if you don't trust me.
[Kwame ] 1/ asked him to help you.

But he is helping a lot,
which I don't mind. Okay.

But here's the thing.
1 know he's your right-hand man.

But then don't say, “Okay, you're in charge of meet and
greet.” Because you have put us both in charge of it.

I have not. You are in charge of the meet and greet.
But you had put Troy in charge of both.

Now I feel like, “If something happens
bad, it's all on you, Heidi.”

If something happens bad, Heidi,
it's all on me, actually.

Let me clarify it right now.
You are in charge of the meet and greet.

/want you to run it
and structure it appropriately.

Make the decisions that are necessary
to make it a successful event.

Troy's a copilot
to help you with the meet and greet.

If something were to go wrong--
I have never done a meet and greet in my life.

-1 don't know if autographs--
- I've never done a meet and greet either.

He's never done a meet and greet.
Everybody's doing stuff for the first time.

That's why I'm relying on you and your
expertise to try to get it done. That"s it.

I"ve never done it.
I'm not saying I'm any better at it or not.

All 'm saying is I can't be
in all these different places.

That's why I've just delegated it out,
just like I delegated promotion to him, logistics to her,

'm delegating meet and greet to you,
So you can be successful with it.

[Kwame ]
Heidi makes mountains out of molehills,

and she gets so uptight
about the littlest things...

that she creates stressful
situations in episodes where...

you really don't need to be stressed out,
and you need to just push through and execute.

And if you need help,
that's what he's there for as your copilot.

Whatever you'd like to do.
It's your meet and greet.

Look, everything-- gone.

You're gonna move the furniture?
Yes, the furniture will be back to its original condition.

Okay. I'd like that done
as soon as possible.

That's hot on my priority list.
Okay, good.

Katrina?

That's how--
I thrive under the pressure.

And to me, that's fun.

I'm always doing a hundred things at once.

1 like to operate at a fast pace.
Some people don't like that style.

But to me,
that's the only way to do it.

Katrina, that office, it's gotta get taken care of.
[ Katrina ] Alf of the caddies?

Get one of 'em to take care of that.
Just listen to me. Where do you want me to put it?

I don't care. Just put it out here.
We can put it underneath the table.

Get it done. Trust me.
Okay.

As soon as somebody can,
I'll do it.

See, this is what
he needs to stop doing, Amy.

Bill's like this,
and we're like this.

I'm the type of person
where I get my job done,

but don't ask me 20 times
whether I'm doing it

[Lesley] Bill went in and out of the
clubhouse at least 150 times today.

I see him running around an awful lot,
and he shouldn't be running around.

It doesn't look that great
from the players' standpoint...

for the tournament director
to be running around,

Okay.

He wants you over there
in eight minutes.

How are we doing on the final pairings?
Is that done? Done.

Everything's done?
All the athletes are all paired up and--

You know what I"m about to say?
I gotta ask. I've gotta ask.

I thought we had an agreement yesterday that
when you ask me once-- Okay, fine. Fine.

[Amy]
Mr. Trump works in an environment that..

You have to deal with
stressful situations all the time.

If he's that panicked...

and in such a frenzied state...

on something that is as simple
and as organized as a golf tournament,

then I think that it's gonna be tough
for Mr. Trump to be able to say,

“Yeah, Bill, I'll put you
in charge of a company...

that has a lot of problems
and that you need to fix.”

[ Bill Over Radio ]
Amy, come in. Amy.

There's no way that I would ask you
five times if you did something. Never.

Because it's getting out of control.

If you ask me 15 times the same question--

And I'm almost about to the point
that I'm not gonna do it.

I, right now,
don't think Bill will win.

And it makes me very sad.

Got it.
On the way to the ballroom.

[ Heidi] I've been put in
charge of the meet and greet.

It's really critical because
it's where...

the fans and the V.I.P. guests can meet Jessica,
get autographs and photographs of her.

[ Think Kwame should have given me more.

It's really important
not to underestimate me.

1 am very competent. More competent than
Troy, to be honest with you.

How do you want that set?

God, I"m so new to this.

They told me to prepare
for 50 people,

and the capacity in the room
wouldn't hold 160.

We definitely have a problem,
that's for sure.

[Man] There's a lot of information
that's not being shared amongst the team.

Kwame, when you get a chance,
please come to the ballroom.

At one time, there was only
approximately 30 casino guests...

and 50 radio station winners
for the meet and greet.

It was communicated
to Troy yesterday that..

It was actually approaching 100
for the casino.

That was communicated to Troy,
but never made it to Heidi.

Hi, I'm Donnie. Nice to meet you.
Kwame. How are you?

[Woman]
Yesterday, we presented a list to Troy...

of 92 V.I.P. guests.
Mm-hmm.

Um, no one told them.

[Kwame ] So now we're talking
a total of- 150, potentially.

Okay. So what we had planned to do in the
room is actually just have traffic flow.

We're gonna have people
come in the room in small groups,

sign autographs from Jessica Simpson, congregate for
a small time with Operation Smile, and then head out.

So it wasn't gonna be a full
hundred-plus-- Not all in at the same time.

Yeah, that was the goal.
ls that okay?

If that works for you, yeah.
Okay.

Great.

[George ] Kwame's handling it well.
[ think it's by far a very difficult task to do.

He seems to have it
fairly much under control,

Putting all the pieces together and seeing
that it runs smoothly is a real challenge.

I think Kwame's doing very well.
[Kwame ] I'll be back shortly.

If you need me, I'll be back shortly.
Yeah, please come back.

I'm nervous, but any good leader knows...

that if the leader's freaking out...

and you're the person who's running around
like Chicken Little with your head cut off,

then that's the tone that you're gonna project to
the team and to the people who are evaluating you.

[ Heidi] You want me to bring 'em in here?
See if it works.

If it's chaotic,
it's all Troy's fault.

I'm blaming you already, Troy.
Oh, my God. He is absolutely to blame.

Heidi was in charge of the meet and greet.
If you walked into the room...

and you looked at who seemed like they were
in charge of the meet and greet, it was Troy.

I would really like everybody
to listen to Heidi.

We wanna make sure that
everybody knows she's the boss.

Here's how it's gonna work,
everybody.

Troy's bringing in our V.1.P. guests.

He's talking to them
like they were third-graders.

When the line starts,
I would like everybody to come right here--

“Everybody stand against the line.”
“Do as I say.”

You just can't speak that way.
How he handled it was wrong.

Heidi's my pit bull.
She's gonna keep an eye out.

But the line starts right here.
Is everybody clear on that?

Go for Omarosa.
Go for Omarosa.

Please bear with me. I was told she should
be here within the next five minutes.

Go for Omarosa.

[Omarosa] Mark,
you forgot about me and my tambourine.

I'm sorry. You know,
we put in a request for a tambourine.

[Kwame ]
It's hard to get in touch with Omarosa.

She won't pick up the phone.

[Man]
Is, um, Miss Simpson wrapping up?

I have told them five times
that we need to leave. Okay.

Go for Omarosa.
Go for Omarosa. Go, Kwame.

Can you just give me an ET.A.
on Jessica's arrival at the meet and greet?

5:30, 5:35 at the latest.

[Kwame ] Omarosa's taking
Jessica to the meet and greet.

Heidi and Troy are running the meet and greet right
now, so everything's clicking.

Here's Jessica.
Okay, let me go meet her.

Just go to the end of the line right there.
We'll have you guys to the end of the line.

You can sit right over there.

Hi!
Okay.

If you guys could come in a little bit,
"cause we're actually gonna have more guests.

Behind the rope.
Go ahead right behind the rope.

[Kwame ] On a project like
this, it's really, really hard..

To check every detail of everything.

My leadership style requires talented people.
1 put faith in the fact that I think that they're competent.

- [ Cannot micromanage people.
- Smile for the camera, right here.

It's like, you're doing your job and
you're doing everybody else's job too.

And to me, that's not
the definition of a manager.

Okay, let's go play golf.
Come on.

Enough of this.

Let's win it.
Kick ass.

[Bill]
Once the tournament got underway,

I felt the weight
slowly coming off my back.

Good drive.

I"m kind of changing gears.
I'm going to event-planning mode.

We got a beautiful dinner planned tonight.
Just making sure that that goes off without a hitch.

Sol got a schedule-- I'll put it in your
box-- of what's gonna transpire tonight here.

[Bill]
Lesley and Carolyn run a tight ship there.

It's a very, very exclusive country club.
They have a certain standard.

So today was obviously
a high-stress day.

But I feel as if we've covered
every critical point that was there.

Presentation-wise,
[ think it fooks great.

How do you think it looks?
It looks great.

[ Carolyn]
Overall, I think Bill did a great job.

There's a lot of things
that go into this whole production.

Were there quite a few hiccups
along the way? Absolutely.

Is that par for course?
Absolutely, it is.

Onward. Yeah.
I mean, so far so good.

[Amy] Trump National's probably the
most beautiful course I've ever seen.

Mr. Trump spent 30 million dollars
renovating it...

and created a truly spectacular course.

Okay, fellas, let's go.

The leaves are changing,
the air is crisp.

And then you've got about 100 good-looking
men out there in their golf uniforms.

It's hard to beat.

Beautiful.
Thank you.

I'm Bill.
Nice to meet you.

You guys having fun today?
Good.

Yeah! There you go.

Birdie.
Beauty.

Well, nobody's beaten us so far.
[ Chuckling ]

Beautiful shot.
Ah, I love that.

1 love this game.

- How you doing?
- Good. Trump's on his way in now.

So we're gonna take care of that.

Let's follow you--
Okay.

How'd you shoot? We shot well.
We were 18 under.

- [ Can't see Josing.
-1 like that style.

Isn't that nice?
That's--

[Bill]
Mr. Trump's foursome won the tournament.

It seemed like he was impressed
with how seamless everything was.

I was pleased.
[ think everything was relatively flawless.

I first wanna thank everyone for coming out
today, because this is really a worthy cause.

Ike has donated
a lot of his time and his energy...

to helping out preventing diabetes.

Well, I just wanna thank everybody for being here.
You've raised a lot of money.

And congratulations on doing a great job.
1 don't know ifyour're gonna win or not,

but congratulations on doing a good job.
Thank you, sir.

[Trump]
Good luck.

Hey, Pete, how you doin'?
Good, good.

Bill's performing like
Joe Willie Namath in 1968, Jets/Colts.

Bill's the man for the job,
and he's just doing a wonderful job.

You want a Diet Coke?
What is this?

The Trump Salad.
I'll have that.

[Trump] It went great. We played well.
My team was really good.

We really had a good round of golf.
I'm going now to Atlantic City to the Taj Mahal...

to see how Kwame is doing
with Jessica Simpson.

[ Kwame ] I'm meeting Donald Trump on the heljpad in a
minute, so [ wanna get a briefing together.

I'm gonna let him know that
everything's under control.

How are you, Mr. Trump?
Let's go. Let's go.

I just wanted to offer you a quick briefing
on what's going on. Tell me what's going on.

Jessica Simpson and her family have
arrived here at the hotel. Good.

We had breakfast this morning
with Mark Brown... Good.

And the folks
from Operation Smile.

After that, they did
their sound and rehearsal check.

And now we're in the progress
of doing the meet and greet...

with Jessica Simpson
in terms of autograph signing.

And where are they now?
They're in Diamond Ballroom “A.”

So we'll go see her now, right?
Correct.

Thank you, ladies. [ Troy ] The meet
and greet seems to be going well.

Signing autographs.
Jessica Simpson's getting a little edgy.

6:00 is rolling around.

She's concerned about her time.
She's concerned about her time.

I'm gonna have to eat. I still have to get
my hair and makeup done. What time is it?

Go for Heidi. Go for Troy.
Mr. Trump is on his way. He's just landed.

Okay, Kwame, thank you very much.
We're working on the talent.

Donald Trump's on his way down
from the helipad,

and he wants to meet with Jessica Simpson
in the meet and greet.

Just let us know.
I just found out two seconds ago.

Then they should let us know,
because Joseph was really like, “Get her out of here.”

I just found out two seconds ago.
All right.

Open this door for me.
[ Heidi, Indistinct ]

No, no, no. It's her.

Okay, we might as well
get out of here too.

How was your flight in?
Beautiful.

It's the only way to travel, Kwame.
One day.

Some day, you'll be traveling like
that, I predict. One day.

Mr. Trump is on his way.
Where's Jessica?

I don't know. What are you gonna do?
[ Troy ] There's no Jessica Simpson.

I left the room for two seconds.
I"m not in charge of the lady.

Omarosa had left too.

'M trying to get ahold of Omarosa.

So what we'll do-- We just need to stay calm
in front of these guys so they don't panic.

[Trump]
Wow. Look at this. Wow.

Donald Trump walks in.
There's no Jessica Simpson.

I have no clue, Donald Trump has no clue.
Kwame's right behind Donald Trump too.

I cannot get ahold of Omarosa.
Okay.

So what we're doing is--
She chose to leave.

We informed her that Mr. Trump was coming,
and she said she was late for her concert.

Hi, everybody.

Let him know that she's left.
lam. I am.

I just wanted to let you know, obviously Jessica will
not be returning. She needs to go straight to stage.

I can go up there.
Should we go up there?

So she goes on at 8:00,
right, Kwame?

She goes on at 8:00.
we"ll go backstage.

- Kwame, where is she?
- She should be here.

Go for Omarosa.
Go for Omarosa.

Come on, Kwame.
Time is money.

[ Static]

Come on, Kwame.
Let's go.

[Sighs]

How they doing, John?
Good.

Typical, typical.
[ Heidi Over Radio ] Go for Omarosa.

So where the hell are they?

[Laughing, Chattering] [ Kwame]
Go for Omarosa. Go for Omarosa.

[ Laughing ] Oh, my God!
You look fierce.

- [Omarosa] Yeah, you know, I'm feeling this.
- What bird died for that?

Tina, what do you think?
[Woman] [ think it fooks good on you.

- Go for Omarosa.
- She's up in her room.

Oh. Yeah.
We've been paging.

Okay, where did Omarosa go?

Okay, Kwame, there's a possibility Jessica
Simpson might be up in the suite already.

[Trump] ls it easier for
us Just to go upstairs?

Come on. Let's go, man.

[Kwame ] We went up to the suite.
It's me, Mr. Trump and Melania.

- He rings the doorbell.
- [ Muttering ]

[Omarosa] Who's there?
How are you? Nice seeing you.

At the door of the suite
was the lovely Omarosa.

Hi. Good to see you again.
Hi. How are you?

This is Melania. Good.
After you. Come on in.

- [ Trump] Hello, everybody. How are you?
- Hello.

How are you? It's so nice to meet you.
Nice seeing you. Terrific.

[Trump] Hey, Nick.
Melania loves your show.

[ Melania ] Yeah, it's so cute.
It's really cute. Oh. Thank you.

[Kwame ]
Omarosa I would never hire, because...

she's very intelligent,
but she's a space cadet.

You go have a good time.
Enjoy it. I will.

[Trump]
We really look forward to watching.

[Kwame ] It's hard to get in touch with
Omarosa on a walkie as well as on a beeper.

She wastes a lot of time
and a lot of effort.

I don't have time for that.
That's not how business is done.

See you in a little while. Okay. Good.

[Kwame ] This was the first time
that I thought I could be fired,

Have fun.
All right.

[Jessica] My advice to
Kwame is just to relax.

Just know that everything is gonna work out.
There's always gonna be flaws,

but don't ever let them know
that there are flaws happening.

Make it like everything's perfect.

[Trump] ls she here?
Is she ready? She's here.

She's getting her earpiece in,
and she'll be right out.

Here she is.
There she is.

[Trump] Beautiful.
Hi, Jessica. Okay, let's go.

[Audience Cheering, Applauding ]

Thank you, Mark.

Well, I just wanna congratulate my staff--
Kwame and everybody--

because for Operation Smile,

they've raised thousands of dollars,
really in Jessica's honor.

And on behalf of Donald Trump,

'm gonna make a $25,000
contribution, Jessica.

Okay? So, good luck.
[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Now, the person you've all been waiting
for, [ Audience Cheering ]

Jessica Simpson.

Enjoy her. Thank you.

O' [Rock]
[ Cheering Continues ]

Whoo!

J Every time you're near, baby J

1 get kinda crazy in my head for you ;>

J 1 don't know what to do

3 My friends tell me

2 Somethin' has come over me &

JANnd I think I know what it is

S think 'm in love ,»

. Boy, I think that I'm in love with you /.,

& [ Backup Singers, Indistinct ]

[Jessica]
Let me hear you!

[Kwame ] I definitely feel like
the concert was successful,

It was sold out.
I think the fans were pleased.

The meet and greet went well.
Overall, the day went really well.

JSoirresistible &

I feel like I've come to the end
of along journey.

I know I've done a good job.
There are some areas [ could have done better.

/learned a lot about myself,
and I spent a lot of time with Donald Trump.

That in and of itself has been
a really valuable experience for me.

Learning from this icon
and learning how he makes decisions...

and learning how
he thinks about strategy.

That was one of my objectives in coming
on this whole, you know, big journey.

- Irresistible to me, yeah j,;°
- [ Audience Cheering ]

Thank you so much!
I had so much fun!

[ Cheering Continues ]

[Applause ]

[Applause Continues ]

Thanks for coming. Enjoy. The bar is open.
I'll be seeing you throughout the evening. Thank you.

[Bill] I'm feeling pretty good right now.
I'm using the analogy of running a marathon.

I finished, I don't know
whether or not I won the race,

but I crossed the finish line,
and that's an accomplishment in itself.

We've been through war and back,
girls and boys.

You genuinely had
my best interest in mind today.

And very rare in life can you meet people
who genuinely wanna see you do well.

It's rare that you find people like that
in this world, honest to God.

This is a lovefest.
All right, Nick, give me a hug, man.

This is a lovefest. [ Katrina ] The whole team
worked better today than it ever has before.

The reason is because Nick, Amy and I
are no longer competing.

We're trying to all achieve
the same goal for one person.

There's not this many people
that I would work this hard for,

especially not paid.
Thanks for getting up so early.

Thanks, guys, really.
I appreciate it.

[Bill] Last night when I went to
bed, /said a little prayer.

1said, “Just let me do the best job,
I can, God, and let me be who / am.”

- And my prayers were answered,
- Trump Tower, please.

I was Bill Rancic. 1 gave them a
true representation ofwho I am,

and I'm comfortable
with whatever the outcome is.

I'd like to thank everybody for working hard,
when you didn't have to, and pulling together.

It's finally over. On three.
[ Indistinct ]

Together One, two,
three, Apprentice! Whoa!

[ Kwame ] Obviously, my team doesn't have to give me any
support, because they have nothing to lose.

They've been great. They've stayed up late,
gotten up early and been high-energy.

All right, I'm gettin' in the crib.

[Kwame ] 1 wanna be the apprentice
and take advantage of the opportunity.

Like I told Donald Trump,
“I'm tired of being in training.”

[Kwame ] Take care.
All right, guys. Take care.

Donald Trump is an icon.
He's someone who,

when people said you couldn't do it,
always got it done.

To be able to work under him
and be part of his organization,

hopefully some of that dust
will rub off on me.

This is the final boardroom.
It's kind of surreal.

I don't think I've fully
digested it at this point.

I didn't sleep a wink last night.
I was tossing, I was turning. I don't know what to expect.

[Kwame ]
This one is kind of bittersweet.

It brings the game to a conclusion, but at the same
time, who knows what's gonna come out of it?

It could be a whole new chapter
in, you know, my life.

[Bill] The next few hours,
my life could change drastically.

[I could be in a completely different
echelon of lifestyle than I am now.

[ Could have an opportunity
that could change my kids' kids' lives.

You could start talking about generational wealth.
That's pretty powerful stuff.

[Kwame ] I'm gonna try to
respectfully take Bill down.

That"s it. That's all can do.
And he's gonna try to do the same.

I've worked with Bill enough now
to figure out how he thinks...

and what he might think of
and try to counter some of that.

[Bill] We're gonna be going head-to-head,
mano a mano against each other.

When it's 2 one-on-one scenario,
I'm gonna do well,

It's gonna be a battle
down to the end, I think.

Say good-bye to the loft.

All right. Good luck.
Take it easy.

Thanks. Hi, Robin.
Thanks.

- Can you please have a seat over there?
- Sure.

- Thanks.
-[ Bill ] Well, we're here.

I'm glad that in the end,
it came down to somebody I respect.

"Cause I can make peace with
that, you know? Me too.

- Hi. - Hello. How are you?
- Hello. How are you?

- [Omarosa ] Hey, gentlemen.
- You can go right into the boardroom.

- Good evening.
- Comeonin.

- So how did you like the Trump Taj Mahal?
- It was very nice. Thank you for having us.

- Did Jessica do a good job?
- She did a great job.

Did you think it was a great concert?
It was a great concert.

She's got talent. She's good.
Did you think Jessica was very beautiful?

- She's a pretty girl.
- Pretty or beautiful?

- She's beautiful. Come on.
- [ Trump ] I thought she was beautiful,

A beautiful girl.
We can all agree on that.

I'm not asking you! What the hell
do I have to hear about you for?

I don't need to hear your answers.

- I'm not a guy.
- [ Trump ] Holy mackerel Okay.

Jessica was beautiful.
And you thought Kwame was...

good, okay, great?

He was good.
He did a very good job.

I just think he relied on Troy too much.
Troy did a great job--

That's not bad if Troy is good.
Do you think Troy is better than Kwame?

No. I mean, no offense.

1 mean, I just think Kwame
did a very good job, an excellent job.

- Why did he rely on Troy too much?
- They have a very tight bond between them.

I guess the trust was there.
So I respect that.

What about Kwame? "Cause I don't care about you.
You've been fired.

What about Kwame?
Do you love Kwame?

He does. He does.
He's in love with him.

- Okay. What about Bill? How did he do?
- He did a good job. He got it done.

- What do you think?
- He did a great job.

What do you think?
Great job.

- Carolyn, what do you think? Go ahead.
- Overall, he had three days...

to put on a celebrity golf outing
in three days--

-1 think Bill was exceptional.
- Okay. George?

I think that Kwame and his team
did an exceptional job.

[ Think they were dealing under
very difficult circumstances.

What were the circumstances?
Circumstances is-

I"ve been involved
in celebrity golf tournaments.

You tell the celebrities where to be,
at what time,

and they're there because
that's the way the tournament runs.

-1 disagree.
- When you run into a situation...

where a star changes the timing,
everything else goes wacky.

- [ Trump ] You disagree also?
- Absolutely. 100% I disagree.

- [ Trump ] You think the golf tournament is tougher.
- This is what makes horse racing.

- L1 disagree.
- Come on.

Listen, enough of this. Go ahead.
Let's talk about our golf tournament.

Did Bill do anything wrong?

I think Bill, overall,
did not perform...

at his typical Bill performance.

[ Think that he had a little bit
of a frenzied state.

I think his performance
was spectacular.

He looked pretty cool. He looked pretty cool.
The results were spectacular.

Because I know Bill well,
and 1 know how he usually performs,

which is at 110%,
I think that he was not...

as calm, cool and collected
as he usually is.

So he was good by other standards,
but not great by his standards.

- Correct.
- What do you think?

There were some areas of opportunity
where he could've improved.

Or just being calm,
even though things were going wrong.

- You didn't think he was calm?
- He seemed a little ruffled at times.

If he delegates something,
he just needs to trust his people.

- Do you think he's got great potential?
- Oh, he's outstanding.

He's a sharp, sharp guy, and I believe,
if I were you, I'd select him.

- What ruffled him?
- Specifically, the challenges coming at him.

You say he was ruffled,
and Amy said the same thing about that.

Some lost posters
that we were searching for.

1 think Bill has
unbelievable potential,

and I think he's a great candidate
for this job.

- But?
-1 tend to agree with the two of them.

I just think that Bill
has to show more confidence.

Other than that,
[ think he's a fabulous indjividual.

Okay. Go ahead.
Let's go. Kwame.

We had quite the opposite experience
with Kwame.

Kwame's so cool.
At times, I thought he was a bit aloof

His intensity,
when things did go wrong,

we didn't see it,
and we may have needed to see that... Yeah.

so that we could react appropriately.
[Trump] You didn't see intensity?

- Or there was too much intensity?
- He was too laid-back.

- There were times when he needed to be a little more hands-on.
- He is laid-back.

Does Kwame have the intensity, Heidi?

I think he has the intensity,
but I do like to be micromanaged.

I would have liked to be managed
a little bit more.

There was a time where we
actually lost Jessica Simpson.

She just cut off all communication
with us.

I thought he should've been on it
and following that particular scenario.

He's like, “Okay, we'll just deal with it,”
and he moved on to the next thing.

ls he too laid-back?
Kwame lost a lot.

But he's ready.
He's got the formula to success.

He's got all the foundations
to be a true apprentice.

But if you were to act
as three employees of Kwame,

you would perhaps like to see him
have his feathers ruffled a little bit.

What your're telling me is you'd actually
like to see that, I agree with that.

- Because maybe you needed to see that.
- I'd agree with that.

Let me just ask a question.
Have any of you put in your mind..

What must be going through Donald Trump's
mind hiring somebody to do...

the job that he wants done--
a major position in a division?

We're talking about somebody that has the
ability to build into a long-term career.

Then that's Kwame, hands down.
And I'm talking--

Okay, George.
Let me ask you this.

- Who would you choose if you were me?
- Kwame.

- Who would you choose?
- Kwame. - Kwame.

Let me guess.
Bill, Bill and Bill.

Absolutely. All right. Get out of here.
You haven't helped me at all.

Get out.

[Trump] Tough decision, folks.
This is a tough decision.

Robin, have them come in, please.

Okay, Mr. Trump.
You guys can go in now.

[ Bill Exhaling Forcefully]

You know, you have 215,000 people.
We're down to two.

Right.
So you're both outstanding, obviously.

But only one of you
is going to run one of my companies.

And from what I can gather
from your teammates,

you both have very contrasting ways
of doing business.

Bill, what do you think is the easier job?
The golf tournament or Jessica Simpson?

Probably Jessica Simpson.
Kwame, what do you think?

-1 think the golf tournament was definitely easier.
- Now, intensity, drive.

A couple of your people wondered whether
or not you had the drive or the intensity.

And you'd be surprised
at who it was that said it.

- What do you think of that?
-1 tend to be calm, cool and collected.

'M not someone
who gets ruffled easily.

I'm not someone who wears my enthusiasm,
my energy on my sleeve.

I am someone who's more focused,
more determined,

- You know what they say: “Still waters run deep.”
- What did you think of your teammates?

- Did anyone give you a hard time?
- Yeah.

- Who was it?
- Omarosa was difficult to manage.

But didn't she wanna be you?
She wanted to take your place.

She tried to be out in front of the spotlight.
That's not my normal tendency.

I, basically, would rather be the puppet
master, pulling strings from behind.

I was surprised when you
picked her early on.

You could've picked other people
that would have been--

You did pick her.
Yeah, I did pick her.

Not only did he pick her,
he picked her very early.

I felt like she was
the next most qualified person.

- [ Trump ] Do you think you made a mistake?
- In sorme ways, yes. In some ways, no.

Isn't that risky, considering the time
that you're at? This is it.

It doesn't go any further than this.
Itis arisk--

- That was a very risky choice.
- [ Trump ] George, what do you have?

[George ] From dealing with your
people, they felt..

The task that you had required a lot
more micromanagement than you gave it.

In other words,
when something's going wrong,

if the leader doesn't get up
and straighten it out...

or doesn't indicate that it's going wrong,
then you're not really leading.

All right. Carolyn,
what do you have to say?

Overall, I think the tournament
was a success.

1/ question what your team
said about you,

because they actually made
asuggestion that perhaps you...

appeared a little too stressful
and your feathers were ruffled.

Not at all. I'm very internee,
and ! realized the importance...

of being successful in the golf outing.

There were a few glitches that came along the
way, but I don't think there were many.

I blueprinted a plan
that was, you know,

pretty all-encompassing of any
possible scenario that could go wrong.

We felt like we covered all the bases.

They were saying that you got a little
bit flustered under certain circumstances.

[ Scoffs ] I mean, I disagree.
I didn't at all.

I operate in that environment
on a regular basis,

where it's high-pressure,
very fast.

I'm a perfectionist,
and I definitely thought out...

every possible glitch along the way.

There were a couple that may have
been overlooked, but not many.

- Do you think you're better than Kwame?
-1 think I bring different skills to the table.

I've got much more--
Do you think you're better than Kwame?

- In arole like this, yes, I do.
- Why?

Because I've got experience.
I've proven myself time and time again.

I have desire, and I think I've exhibited the desire
that I have to get this job over the last 13 weeks.

- And you've had a good track record.
- I've had a very good track record.

I don't think his track record is much better
than mine in terms of actual task performance.

- He had maybe two or three more wins.
- That's a lot.

lam here, and I've performed,

and I think you feel confident that I
can run one of your companies one day.

Do you think over a 30-year period you're
gonna be a more successful guy than Bill?

I think it's gonna be neck and neck.

That's not so good, What do you think?
Do you think you'll be more successful?

-1 think I definitely have a leg up.
- Why?

[ Think my entrepreneurial blood that I
have in my veins-- I'm more versatile.

Education is great,
and you've worked your tail off to get that.

But I don't go on pedigree.
When you're out there starting from nothing...

and you actually do it,
it means a lot more.

Kwame, do you think you're gonna do
a better job for me than Bill?

- I definitely think I will.
-1 want the job.

I don't think he's alone. Obviously, I want the job.
I gave up a lot to be here.

[Trump] You gave up a lot.
I gave up a lot to be here.

- You gave up a hell of a job.
- Yeah, a very steady--

In a way, it scares me. In fact, you both gave
up a hell of a lot to be working for the Donald.

I think you're both very outstanding.
I have a very, very tough choice.

- Get the hell out of here.
- Thank you.

[ Muttering ]

Gotta fight for it.

[ Exhales Forcefully]
Water.

Yeah, I need a little of that.

That was a--
It was good.

I think it was fair.
I think it was fair. It's over with.

Both men have to articulate why they'd
be good and why they want the job.

There's no hard feelings.
Put her there. Uh-uh.

Not at all.
Yeah. Whew.

[Trump] This is not easy.
What do you think, George?

Well, as you say, it's a very tough decision.
My vote would go with Kwame.

1 think he handled himself well
under pressure.

I think he can adapt
to some very serious circumstances.

' Wouldn't hold his track record in the
past as much against him at this point...

as I've seen him now in,
really, the line of fire.

I can honestly see him as a better fit...

in the Trump Organization
in the long run.

That's my feeling.
He's outstanding.

I agree with you. He's an outstanding guy.
He's outstanding.

Carolyn? Well, George,
I agree with you on Kwame.

However, I disagree with the choice.
I would go for Bill.

You agree with him in what way,
he's outstanding?

I think Kwame's outstanding, but I do believe he is
textbook, where I think Bill is practical.

I actually see him as a better fit
in this organization.

The whole golf tournament--
the hiccups were fairly minimal.

I've watched him the whole time.
I've seen Kwame the whole time.

I think Kwame is too laid-back, which perhaps could
make employees underneath him a little nervous.

Bill held it together. He motivated
a staff that was unpaid, just fired.

I think he was great,
and I think he's a better fit.

You know what that means. You got a divided court.
You gotta make the decision.

I know what it means.
Robin, let 'em come in.

Okay, Mr. Trump.
You can go back in the boardroom now.

Come on. Sit down.
Let's go.

Three months have gone by,

and to be honest,
you two guys have gone through hell.

You've seen it all. You've been in the
city-- the Big Apple-- and it's not easy.

It's a beautiful place,
but it can be nasty.

But, you know,
you're both winners in every sense.

You are two out of 215,000
Job applicants.

That's a record in television history.

You've really been through it.
I love you both.

I've gotten to know you so well.

But, you know, Kwame,

a couple of things bother me
and bother me really big-league.

Omarosa lied to you.

She deceived you,

and not only once,
but she lied to you twice.

Why didn't you fire her?

At that time, I really didn't know that was an
option, and I had a job to get done.

I knew I was the C.EO,, but I also had three people
that I needed to depend on to get the work done.

So if I would have fired her at that time, basically,
I would have had two people to do the job left for three.

Why didn't you move her over to the side?
She deceived you.

I tried to move her over to the side
in some roles, but, basically,

Troy was running one part of the
organization and Heidi was running another.

So I didn't think, at that time, I really could manage
both and move her over to the place she needed to be.

It just didn't seem to me
and to George and to Carolyn...

that you took a tough enough stand.

When somebody deceives you,
you have to do something.

I don't like just moving them over.

I like firing them,
and you should have fired her.

Bill, your job at the golf course,
I thought, was really good.

You were a little nervous, a little crazy,
but you got the job done.

I've had a lot of golf tournaments.
I've run a lot of golf tournaments.

Carolyn's run more than me.

And we both agree you did a really
good job at that golf tournament.

Kwame,

1 think you have an amazing future.

You're a brilliant guy,
a great education,

and I have no doubt
that you're gonna be a big success.

But for right now, Bill, you're hired.

[ Audience Cheering, Applauding ]
S [Jazz]

All right. Settle down.
S [Stops]

Settle down.

We've still got some business
to take care of.

And you look very happy.

You knew you were gonna
get a great job,

and here's your first big decision.

Bill, you get to choose
between overseeing operations...

at two fabulous locations
in my organization.

The first, a spectacular
building project in Chicago.

[Trump] Soon it will stand tall
among the world's greatest towers.

It'll be a shimmering jewel
in the Chicago skyline.

This summer, 1 plan to begin building the
90-story Trump International Hotel and Tower..

On the site presently occupied
by the low-rise headquarters...

of the Chicago Sun-Times.

With 2,500 skilled craftsmen,
a fleet of construction equipment...

and $700 million,

/intend to erect a modern masterpiece
of steel and glass--

a five-star hotel
and residential building...

with exclusive condominiums
and super-luxury hotel units.

It be a mind-boggling job to manage.

When it's finished in 2007,
the Trump International Hotel and Tower, Chicago...

could have a value
of $1.2 billion...

and will raise the standards of architectural
excellence throughout the world,

[Audience Cheering, Applauding ]

That is one terrific 90-story building.

And next,
an equally incredible golf course...

on the edge of the Pacific Ocean
in Los Angeles, California.

Take a look.

[ Trump ] The Trump National Golf Club,
Los Angeles is a spectacular 300-acre resort...

overlooking a breathtaking stretch
of the Pacific Ocean.

1 bought it about a year ago
after the 18th hole slid into the ocean,

and some experts claimed
it was beyond repair.

However, no task is too big for me.

1 assembled an army of 350 workers
and 50 trucks...

and hauled in 1.7 million
cubic yards of earth...

at a cost of over $200 million...

to create the most expensive
golf course ever built.

And to top it off,
I'm planning a five-star clubhouse...

and a premiere residential development
with 75 custom-designed estates...

that will sell for between $5 million
and $15 million.

Managing this property
ls & huge undertaking.

When it opens in August,
Trump National Golf Club, Los Angeles...

will be one of the greatest golf courses
and clubs anywhere in the world,

even superior to Pebble Beach.

So? Not bad.

That's not bad.
Two great options.

You'd better do a good job for me.
[ Chuckles ] Whoo.

In the world of big business,
decisions need to be made quickly.

You're gonna find that out.

You've got just a couple of minutes
to decide which job you want.

We'll also get some answers
that everyone wants to know about.

What about Nick and Amy?
How is Sam doing?

And the person who stirred things up
more than anybody, Omarosa.

What's up with her?
Wwe'll be right back.

O' [Jazz]

s [ Continues I

S [Ends ]

Okay, Bill, you've seen
the two job choices--

a spectacular California golf course...

with top-of-the-line mansions
on the Pacific Ocean...

or a great Chicago hotel
and residential tower...

that will redefine the Chicago skyline.

Your've had three minutes--
plenty of time to make a decision.

[Audience Laughing ]
Which is it?

Well, Mr. Trump, California has wonderful
weather, and it's a great opportunity,

but Chicago's where I'm from, and to me,
it's the best place in the world, so-—-

[Audience Cheering, Applauding ]

Chicago it is.

It's gonna be a beautiful building.

Don't worry. You're gonna have
plenty of supervision on that building.

I don't care if you're president or not.
There's gonna be a lot of supervision. [ Bill Chuckling]

- 1 guess [ won't be able fo rename it.
- Believe me, you're gonna have supervision,

and I'll be the one supervising.

But it's a great choice.
And you"re gonna be happy if I"m gonna be happy.

And what the hell are you doing
sitting over there?

I fired all those people.
Get over here.

[Audience Cheering, Applauding ]

[ Cheering Intensifies ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

- It feels good.
- Tell me about it.

You'd better do well.
I promise.

So how do you feel? This is a great
place in the world to be right now.

I'll tell you that.
Well, I just wanna let you know...

it wasn't an easy decision,
"cause that man right there is some man. I know.

[Bill] A fierce competitor.
Thank you. Thank you.

[Audience Cheering, Applauding ]
A fierce competitor.

He is.

He's a competitor, and he's a fine guy.
Kwame, I wanna congratulate you,

'cause, believe me,
it was right up until the end. Thank you.

And, you know,
Just one of those things.

Let's talk to some of the folks
in the audience, in the group.

Omarosa, you've been so controversial.
[Omarosa Chuckling ]

Your've been so controversial,
Mr. Trump, you start out with me?

I've always gotten along so well with you.
But you really got caught on tape this time.

1 mean, you were right on camera.
You got caught in a couple of beauties.

- How do you explain that?
- Mr. Trump, first of all, let me just say--

I need to get this clear first.
You should just hire me, then fire me,

rehire me and then fire me again?

-1t's a little confusing.
- You have too many excuses.

Enough with the excuses.
Heidi, what do you think? Excuses--

Tell me. What do you think? Wait a minute.
Omarosa, please. First of all, I--

- What do you think?
- [Audience Cheering, Applauding ]

What do you think?
[Heidi] Honestly, I think Omarosa and ...

should go out for a nice two-hour lunch
to discuss it.

[ Laughing ]

You know, Freka, probably more
than any of the 16 contestants,

you really suffered, because charges were
made against you that were very, very tough.

I mean, how can you respond to it?

Mr. Trump, I would have fired her,
and I would have liked it.

She's a liar, and I've known that
for along time.

- Well, I think you suffered a lot, and 1 hope everything's fine.
- Thank you.

And, Omarosa, 1 hope everything's fine with you.
Thanks, Mr. Trump.

It will be. It will be. Really.
I'm sure it will be. 1/ hope so.

But you gotta straighten out the truth,
in all fairness, okay? Oh, yeah. We will.

We will.
All right. Nick and Amy.

This is the weakest romance
I've ever seen.

[Audience Laughing ]
This romance is pathetic.

Was there a romance?
I mean, give us the scoop.

We dated briefly after the show.

And then--
It wasn't very hot.

No, it wasn't.
There was no heat.

The most we saw was a little kiss
from Amy to you.

That's right. That's right.
That's all there was.

That's not m-- Well, that's good, Amy.
Good virtue.

So there was nothing.
So are you together now?

No, we're not together.

Who broke up with who?
I wanna know.

Amy, why don't you answer that question?
1've always loved this guy.

I think we just decided we were
meant to be very close friends.

Very close friends. That's right. Good.
I've had some very close friends.

- Me too.
- [Audience Laughing ]

Me too. [Laughing ] It's cost me a lot of
money, I'll tell you that.

[ Laughing Continues, Applauding ]

You know, there's a guy in the room named
Troy, who everybody loves.

Everybody loves.
What do you have to say, Troy?

[Audience Cheering, Applauding ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

I think that the opportunity
that you and Mr. Burnett gave me...

was an opportunity of a lifetime.

You know, 15 years ago,
when [ said I was comin' to meet you,

I was so proud to look my mama
and my family in the face...

to say, “I accomplished my goal.”

It was an honor to meet you,
and I'm comin' back.

Well, you can come back.

You really could come back.

You know, there are two other people,
and they really have worked hard.

Carolyn.
[Audience Cheering, Applauding ]

We call her Lady Di.
She looks like Lady Di to me.

And George. And George--

[Audience Cheering,
Applauding ] [Man] All right, George.

I've always said about those two, they're two
tough, smart people, but they have big hearts.

They're good people, and you did a great
job, and I appreciate it.

I appreciate it.
[ No Audible Dialogue ]

This could really go on
for along time-- hours--

but we've got some other
important business to take care of.

Bill, right now, you're feeling
pretty good, right, my man?

[ Think that's safe to say.
You'd better be feeling pretty good.

Well, here's something to make you
feel just a little bit better--

a brand-new Chrysler Crossfire.

[Audience Cheering, Applauding ]

It's a really beautiful car,
and you're gonna love driving it.

And I wanna further thank Chrysler
for being such a great sponsor,

and people like George Steinbrenner,
a friend of mine,

who did the show long before
anyone knew it was gonna be a big hit.

He was out there, and Chrysler was out
there, and I wanna thank them.

S [Jazz]
[Audience Applauding ]

A new Apprentice ls about to start.

We've got a sneak preview
as soon as we get back.

So just stay tuned. Thank you.

[ Audience Applauding ]
o [ Continues I

You wanna shake my hand?
I wanna shake your hand.

They're a little sweaty.
Okay, give me your hand.

That was one of the biggest moments of my
life, shaking that man's hand.

- He is my mentor.
- He just shook my hand! My sweaty hand!

[Audience Applauding ]

Sam, you're a piece of work.
[Audience Chuckling ]

So let me ask you.
How are you doing? 'm doing well.

We're gonna see how I'm doing.
'm putting it all on the line, Mr. Trump.

[ think you're gonna do great. I've always said that.
I"m putting it all on the line.

I'll tell you what. I got a proposition for you in
my Samsonite briefcase. Go ahead. Give me money.

- You're paying Bill here $250,000 to work
for you next year. - [Locks Clicking ]

I'll pay you $250,000 to work for you.
Give me that money. Give me that money.

I'm dead serious.
Bring it over.

- It's real.
- Bring it over. Bring it over.

If that's real money, I'll take it.
It's real.

- Okay? Is it real? I'll take it.
-1t's real. I want the job.

I'll put him to work for 10,000 a
year, and that's pretty good.

It's an investment in my future. Come on.
Give it over. I might take it.

Come on. Let's go. Here you go.

Okay. It's for you.
It's a nice briefcase too.

That looks like the real deal.
All right.

I'm gonna seriously consider that.

I've told a lot of people
he's a different kind of guy.

I'm not crazy.
And now, we've just--

It's not such a crazy thing
he just did, folks.

Anyway.

Heidi, how is your mother?

My mom is doing great.
She's here tonight?

- Yeah. My mom's over there.
- Where's your mother?

Give my mom a big hand.
Hi.

[Audience Applauding ]
[ No Audible Dialogue ]

You have a lovely daughter,
who, believe me--

1 mean, she was cut a little bit short
because she was very worried about you. Aw.

[ Heidi] Thank you.
1 just want you to know that.

- And, Tammy, you're gonna have a baby. Ah!
- Yeah!

My husband and I-- How's my real
estate man doing in the back?

My Detroit real estate man.
He's taking over the city of Detroit.

How are you doing? Coming along.
I've actually doubled my empire.

You've motivated me
to get on your heels.

So, a lot of things happening.

He's able to collect his rent now.
And you've all had some really--

What's that?
He's able to collect his rent finally.

Well, that's good. That's good.
You've all had some really good job offers, I understand.

I mean, you've had many job offers.
Is that true? [ Man ] Absolutely. Oh, yeah.

That's terrific. That's terrific.
Well, I hope you take advantage of it.

Okay. Bill, congratulations again.

You start work for the Trump Organization
soon, like maybe tomorrow. Okay?

We're not gonna
give you a lot of time.

So you be on time. And in the
meantime, here are the keys and all.

I want you to go down there right now.
Go down to the street.

You get in that car
and drive away for about 15 minutes,

and then you get over to Trump Tower,
and you start working.

Okay? Okay.
Will do. Will do.

Thank you. Thank you again.
[Audience Cheering, Applauding ]

Thank you.

See ya.
Take care. Whoops.

Sorry, George. Thank you.
Good luck.

[ Cheering Intensifies ]

And here is the first ever look
at what's ahead...

when an all-new Apprentice
returns to NBC this fall.

[Trump] Soon, 16 new candidates
will come to New York City...

and compete for the dream job
of a lifetime.

But this go-around
I've raised the stakes even higher.

Today, expectations in corporate America
are more demanding than ever,

and so am /.

The candidates will face tougher tasks
with tighter deadlines.

This time, they'll work with some of the
world's largest Fortune 500 companies.

And who knows, maybe I'll even
bring back some familiar faces.

Who will succeed?
Who will fail?

Who will be... the apprentice?

Congratulations again
to our big winner, Bill Rancic.

This has been an incredible experience
for the contestants...

as well as for George,
Carolyn and myself.

Good luck to you all.
Thanks for watching. And good night.
