TRUMP: Two years ago, it began.

0:00:050:00:08

An economic crisis that swept the world

0:00:080:00:10

And almost brought our country into another Great Depression.

0:00:100:00:14

You may think the worst is over,

0:00:140:00:17

But still, talented, smart people are unemployed.

0:00:170:00:21

They're looking for work. They have no prospects.

0:00:210:00:24

I hate what I'm seeing,

0:00:240:00:26

And I'm going to do something about it.

0:00:260:00:28

From across the country,

0:00:320:00:33

I've chosen 16 of the very best candidates,

0:00:330:00:36

All vying to become my Apprentice.

0:00:380:00:41

ALEX: I used to be an actual engineer.

0:00:410:00:44

Now I drive a tow truck, cashed out my 401(k).

0:00:440:00:47

My biggest fear is not being able to provide for my family.

0:00:470:00:51

BRANDY: I used to be a corporate attorney, you know,

0:00:510:00:53

on really big deals.

0:00:530:00:54

Millions and millions and millions of dollars,

0:00:540:00:56

And now I'm selling cupcakes for 2 apiece

0:00:560:00:59

out of a hot pink truck.

0:00:590:01:00

ANAND: I worked in private equity real estate.

0:01:000:01:02

I managed a portfolio of about 500 million,

0:01:020:01:04

and I used to make a six-figure salary,

0:01:040:01:07

and now I'm making no income and living with roommates.

0:01:070:01:09

NICOLE: My dream was to become an attorney, to fight for justice.

0:01:090:01:12

I didn't go to law school to scan documents.

0:01:120:01:15

WADE: Prior to the recession,

0:01:150:01:16

I owned and operated my own real estate company.

0:01:160:01:18

I was one of the top 30 realtors under the age of 30

0:01:180:01:20

and featured on the cover of Realtor magazine,

0:01:200:01:22

but struggling to make ends meet right now.

0:01:220:01:24

GENE: I used to be a financial advisor, thought I had made it.

0:01:240:01:27

That money was just going to fall out of people's pockets.

0:01:270:01:29

I don't think that I'm the kind of person

0:01:290:01:30

that knows how to quit.

0:01:300:01:32

If I don't win this competition, there is no plan B.

0:01:320:01:35

CLINT: When I was at my highest high,

0:01:350:01:37

I had two construction companies and a title company.

0:01:370:01:40

Our profits were millions.

0:01:400:01:42

And now we had to sell our house, sold all our belongings.

0:01:420:01:44

If I can't make a living for my family, what good am I?

0:01:440:01:48

TRUMP: The world has changed.

0:01:480:01:50

The way we do business has changed.

0:01:500:01:53

But one thing is still the same.

0:01:530:01:55

This is the toughest job interview of them all.

0:01:550:01:59

STEPHANIE: I'm tired of these recession sob stories.

0:01:590:02:02

If you want yours, you need to go out and get it.

0:02:020:02:04

I am going to be the next Apprentice.

0:02:040:02:05

STEUART: Being an entrepreneur

0:02:050:02:07

is a key advantage in this competition.

0:02:070:02:09

I AM the Apprentice.

0:02:090:02:10

DAVID: The Apprentice is the most important job interview in my life.

0:02:100:02:14

KELLY: You're looking at the next Apprentice.

0:02:140:02:17

MAHSA: I AM the next Apprentice.

0:02:170:02:19

There's only one way to find out.

0:02:190:02:21

Let's get down to business.

0:02:210:02:23

MUSIC: "For The Love Of Money" by The O'Jays

ELEVATOR BELL DINGS

0:03:450:03:48

TYANA: I pretty much went from six figures

0:03:500:03:52

to buying second hand clothing

0:03:520:03:55

and saving every penny I can

0:03:550:03:57

just to be able to pay the rent.

0:03:570:03:59

I am a fighter.

0:03:590:04:00

I'm going to do whatever it takes to win the apprenticeship.

0:04:000:04:03

STEUART: I'm 100% here to win.

0:04:030:04:06

The guy in the red tie,

0:04:060:04:07

a little apprehensive about this guy.

0:04:070:04:09

He's got big bags under his eyes, so he looks tired, stressed.

0:04:090:04:12

I don't know if he's prepared

0:04:120:04:13

for coming into this competition.

0:04:130:04:16

JAMES: The fact that this is a recession-themed Apprentice

0:04:180:04:20

is going to make the competition a lot tougher.

0:04:200:04:24

I know, from where I'm sitting,

0:04:240:04:25

having been unemployed for so long,

0:04:250:04:27

I'm hungry. I'm ready to get after it.

0:04:270:04:30

I'm sure everyone else feels the same way.

0:04:300:04:32

PHONE RINGS Yes, sir.

0:04:320:04:35

Mr Trump is ready for you. You can head into the boardroom.

0:04:370:04:41

DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:04:410:04:44

Welcome to the boardroom.

0:05:060:05:08

Not the most pleasant place on Earth,

0:05:080:05:10

but a place that you have to survive

0:05:100:05:12

in order to become the next Apprentice.

0:05:120:05:15

I think, before we begin,

0:05:160:05:18

I want to find out a little bit about you.

0:05:180:05:20

So, tell me, why are you here?

0:05:200:05:22

You're all sort of victims of the recession.

0:05:220:05:24

Some are doing better than others,

0:05:240:05:26

and some are pretty much down and out.

0:05:260:05:28

David, what about you?

0:05:280:05:29

I married my high school sweetheart.

0:05:290:05:31

We produced five wonderful children.

0:05:310:05:34

I worked in telecom for 10 years, successful sales.

0:05:340:05:38

And when my customers stopped paying their bills,

0:05:380:05:40

a reduction in force happened, and I was one of the victims.

0:05:400:05:44

Cost me a marriage, as well.

0:05:440:05:46

And the ultimate goal is to bring my family back together,

0:05:460:05:49

and it is why I'm here.

0:05:490:05:51

Good luck.

0:05:510:05:52

Thank you, sir.

0:05:520:05:54

Tougher than most because you have the children.

0:05:540:05:55

- Yes, sir. - So, it's a tough position to be in.

0:05:550:05:58

Poppy?

0:05:580:05:59

Last year, I graduated from Stanford

0:05:590:06:02

and, at 22, had a bachelor's and a master's degree.

0:06:020:06:04

and one would think that's a shoo-in for a job,

0:06:040:06:07

but it's been really difficult.

0:06:070:06:09

And now I'm back at home

0:06:090:06:11

and helping to care for my grandmother.

0:06:110:06:14

OK. Stephanie?

0:06:140:06:15

I was a commercial banker in Chicago,

0:06:150:06:17

and all of a sudden, I became the cause of this recession.

0:06:170:06:20

And now I'm called the fat cat banker,

0:06:200:06:23

and I sure don't feel like the fat cat now.

0:06:230:06:25

I feel as though I always did a great job.

0:06:250:06:27

I served the small business community for ten years,

0:06:270:06:29

and I helped a lot of people get their businesses off the ground.

0:06:290:06:32

And now I'm out of a job, basically,

0:06:320:06:34

and at the short end of the stick.

0:06:340:06:36

Nicole, what about you?

0:06:360:06:39

Mr Trump, I was a runner-up at Miss California USA,

0:06:390:06:41

and I was fortunate enough after law school

0:06:410:06:44

to have several offers for jobs,

0:06:440:06:46

And I took one, because beggars can't be choosers in this environment.

0:06:460:06:49

But it wasn't the dream job that I was really passionate about,

0:06:490:06:52

and I don't think I should have to settle.

0:06:520:06:54

Even if it is a recession, I think you have to push harder.

0:06:540:06:58

Gene, you're a little older than these folks, right? Like me?

0:06:580:07:01

I am, yeah.

0:07:010:07:03

- A little hair on this dog. - That's good.

0:07:030:07:05

Ex-military,

0:07:050:07:06

last ten years, been a financial adviser.

0:07:060:07:08

And what happened?

0:07:080:07:10

They cut us by 85%, laid us off,

0:07:100:07:12

almost every single one of us.

0:07:120:07:13

Just lived on my personal savings

0:07:130:07:15

for probably the last three years.

0:07:150:07:17

TRUMP: All right, look.

0:07:170:07:19

Life is tough. Life is mean.

0:07:190:07:21

The fact is, you thought you were doing well at one time.

0:07:210:07:25

You can do better than that.

0:07:250:07:27

You can really top it,

0:07:270:07:28

and that's what I want to see out of you folks.

0:07:280:07:32

For the next 13 weeks,

0:07:320:07:34

I will push you, I will motivate you,

0:07:340:07:36

I will hopefully inspire you,

0:07:360:07:38

and some of you will go on to really big things,

0:07:380:07:41

and the ultimate will be

0:07:410:07:43

somebody's going to be working for me.

0:07:430:07:45

It's going to be a great job, and it's going to pay a lot of money.

0:07:450:07:47

It's going to be wonderful.

0:07:470:07:49

Now, I'm going to break up the teams.

0:07:500:07:54

It's men versus women.

0:07:540:07:56

You go back, and you pick a team name.

0:07:560:07:59

You then pick the project manager.

0:07:590:08:02

Now, the project manager has an advantage,

0:08:020:08:03

but they have a big disadvantage,

0:08:030:08:05

cos if your team loses,

0:08:050:08:07

you're really in line to be fired,

0:08:070:08:09

and being fired is never fun.

0:08:090:08:10

Do we agree?

0:08:100:08:11

ALL: Right. TRUMP: Now, I have a building.

0:08:110:08:14

It's the Trump building at 40 Wall Street.

0:08:140:08:17

It's right opposite the New York Stock Exchange.

0:08:170:08:20

We're going to all meet there, and I'm going to give you your task.

0:08:200:08:23

And I will say this.

0:08:230:08:26

You're really not dealing with friends right now.

0:08:260:08:28

You're dealing to win,

0:08:280:08:30

so I'd go all-out, be strong, and win.

0:08:300:08:34

Be tough. You'll need to be.

0:08:340:08:36

Go ahead. Good luck.

0:08:360:08:38

JAMES: So, let's work on team name first

0:08:480:08:50

And then project manager and all that other stuff.

0:08:500:08:54

What kind of identity do we want to have?

0:08:540:08:56

CLINT: We know, obviously, this is about coming back.

0:08:560:08:59

It's about recovering.

0:08:590:09:00

Anybody have any names along those lines?

0:09:000:09:02

ANAND: Something that looks towards the future.

0:09:020:09:04

What about Next, cos we're ready for the next level in our lives?

0:09:040:09:07

CLINT: I like that.

0:09:070:09:08

ANAND: 'Anytime you have a roomful of alpha males,

0:09:080:09:11

'everyone wants to be heard,'

0:09:110:09:12

but I know I'm one of the most confident people here.

0:09:120:09:14

'I'm ready to win. I'm ready to compete.

0:09:140:09:16

'I'm ready to get my hands dirty.'

0:09:160:09:18

JAMES: I thought of Phoenix.

0:09:180:09:20

ALEX: How about Icarus? Rising from the ashes?

0:09:200:09:22

JAMES: Well, no, that's Phoenix.

0:09:220:09:23

CLINT: That's phoenix, yeah. Same thing.

0:09:230:09:24

JAMES: Icarus flew too close to the sun.

0:09:240:09:26

STEUART: 'Everyone, individually, I feel, brought their A-game,

0:09:260:09:31

'But I don't know how bright Alex is.'

0:09:310:09:33

To be Trump's Apprentice,

0:09:330:09:34

you not only have to be a hard worker,

0:09:340:09:36

'you have to be able to remember that fifth grade mythology stuff.'

0:09:360:09:40

ANAND: How about Blast Off?

0:09:400:09:42

DAVID: Octane!

0:09:420:09:43

CLINT: That's a great one. I like Octane.

0:09:430:09:45

Octane? I dig Octane.

0:09:450:09:47

JAMES: I'd prefer not to do something, too, like, "Awesome!"

0:09:470:09:50

DAVID: I like Octane. I think Octane is a winner.

0:09:500:09:53

I'm Octane, man. I like it.

0:09:530:09:55

- Let's go with that. - There it is.

0:09:550:09:57

Octane?

0:09:570:09:59

JAMES: 'I'm not thrilled with Team Octane.

0:10:000:10:02

'It seems a little hokey.

0:10:020:10:03

'I would have preferred a name

0:10:030:10:04

'that was something a little more symbolic for us'

0:10:040:10:06

rather than kind of a buzzword.

0:10:060:10:08

GENE: Next order of business is, who is going to be project manager?

0:10:080:10:11

CLINT: Well, who wants to do it first?

0:10:110:10:13

Is there anybody that wants to volunteer to be the project manager?

0:10:130:10:17

WADE: Nobody wants to volunteer?

0:10:170:10:18

I think you've got some good leadership skills.

0:10:180:10:20

You were in the military.

0:10:200:10:22

I vote for Gene. I think Gene's got some leadership qualities in him.

0:10:220:10:24

I think that...I think we can all respect Gene and look up to Gene.

0:10:240:10:27

'This is our first battle of a long war,

0:10:270:10:29

And I don't know that I want to be the guy that, you know,

0:10:290:10:32

sticks my head out of the bunker first,

0:10:320:10:33

'But I think Gene might lead us to a victory.'

0:10:330:10:36

CLINT: Let's not just throw Gene out there.

0:10:360:10:38

No, I mean, that's my personal opinion.

0:10:380:10:40

You know what I say? I say, let's do it, all right?

0:10:400:10:42

So, if you guys want to go for it, I'll take it.

0:10:420:10:44

CLINT: You want to do it, Gene? I like that.

0:10:440:10:46

Let's go for it. Let's make it happen.

0:10:460:10:48

DAVID: All right, let's win. Let's win.

0:10:480:10:49

GENE: 'I had mixed feelings about them choosing me so quickly.'

0:10:490:10:52

Either I was going to set the bar high,

0:10:520:10:54

Or I was going to be the first one

0:10:540:10:56

that everyone is going to say,

0:10:560:10:57

"OK, don't do what that guy did."

0:10:570:11:00

Nice job.

0:11:000:11:01

ANAND: We got your back. We're going to win this for you.

0:11:010:11:04

CLINT: Gene, tomorrow night, we're going to be celebrating.

0:11:040:11:06

GENE: We got to. Let's go, man. We got to. Let's dance.

0:11:060:11:08

JAMES: 'Once the townfolk grabbed their pitchforks'

0:11:080:11:11

And said, "Gene, you should be project manager,"

0:11:110:11:14

There wasn't really any way for him to back down.

0:11:140:11:16

But I am surprised not one of them

0:11:160:11:18

stepped up to be project manager.

0:11:180:11:20

As for me, I'm a lawyer.

0:11:200:11:22

I stand back and try to advise from a distance.

0:11:220:11:27

ALL: 1, 2, 3...Octane!

0:11:270:11:29

ANAND: You think the girls are having this much fun next door?

0:11:290:11:32

DAVID: Are they having a catfight?

0:11:320:11:33

Probably.

0:11:330:11:35

NICOLE: So why don't we just all throw out the different ideas we had?

0:11:370:11:40

And then we can sort out which ones we think are keepers.

0:11:400:11:43

BRANDY: What about Phoenix? POPPY: That's what I thought too.

0:11:430:11:46

STEPHANIE: Well, we've all risen from the ashes of the economy.

0:11:460:11:49

LIZA: 'All 16 of us are here for a reason.

0:11:490:11:51

'Everybody here is fighting

0:11:510:11:53

'to really make a difference in our lives,'

0:11:530:11:55

and the best man wins, you know?

0:11:550:11:57

Best WOMAN'S going to win.

0:11:570:11:58

TYANA: I like Inspire.

0:11:580:12:01

Does everyone like Inspire? POPPY: I love Inspire.

0:12:010:12:03

NICOLE: If it just means the actual word that it is,

0:12:030:12:05

to me, I would like to have it be dimensional.

0:12:050:12:07

BRANDY: Yeah.

0:12:070:12:08

KELLY: OK, there's Vigorous. NICOLE: Stamina.

0:12:080:12:11

TYANA: Stamina? That's the boys' team.

0:12:110:12:13

LAUGHTER

0:12:130:12:16

Fortitude. It's strength of mind and having guts.

0:12:160:12:19

MAHSA: Oh!

0:12:190:12:20

NICOLE: That's good. I like it. I like it.

0:12:200:12:22

KELLY: 'When the name Fortitude came up,

0:12:220:12:24

'It really resonated within the group.'

0:12:240:12:27

I mean, the name was strong, it's resilient,

0:12:270:12:29

and it makes a statement.

0:12:290:12:30

LIZA: Y'all, our name is Fortitude?

0:12:300:12:33

Let's get excited. Does that sound like a good name?

0:12:330:12:36

MAHSA: I think it's awesome. Fortitude.

0:12:360:12:39

NICOLE: Can I just throw it out there right now?

0:12:390:12:41

I totally volunteer to be the first project manager.

0:12:410:12:43

You know, I saw you as our first project manager.

0:12:430:12:45

MAHSA: 'Picking a project manager was a cinch.'

0:12:450:12:48

'Nicole said, "All right, guys,'

0:12:480:12:49

"I just wanted to let everyone know

0:12:490:12:50

"that I'm going to be the project manager.

0:12:500:12:52

"I'm volunteering to do it."

0:12:520:12:53

'Very ballsy move to make at the very beginning.'

0:12:530:12:57

I think going to we're win, so... NICOLE: I think we're going to win too.

0:12:570:13:00

I think we just need to ride on, like...we have a lot of, like,

0:13:000:13:03

synergistic energy going on right now. We just need to...

0:13:030:13:05

NICOLE: 'I definitely knew that I wanted to be the first project manager.

0:13:050:13:08

'I think it's great to make that strong first impression.'

0:13:080:13:13

And none of the women even had any problems with it!

0:13:130:13:15

It was the easiest thing I probably will ever do on The Apprentice.

0:13:150:13:18

NICOLE: Let's go, guys. A good leader has a team!

0:13:180:13:21

We're right next to the New York Stock Exchange,

0:13:420:13:45

right in the middle of downtown Manhattan.

0:13:450:13:48

Behind me is the Trump building at 40 Wall Street.

0:13:480:13:52

It was built in 1929, a really bad time.

0:13:520:13:55

You folks have a little bit of a problem.

0:13:580:14:00

You're going to rise like 40 Wall Street rose,

0:14:000:14:03

and I think you'll be bigger and better than ever before.

0:14:030:14:07

But right now, I want to know,

0:14:080:14:10

who is your project manager, and what is your team name?

0:14:100:14:14

Our team name is Octane, and Gene is your project manager.

0:14:140:14:17

Gene is our project manager.

0:14:170:14:19

Why did you pick Gene? Because he's younger than you?

0:14:190:14:23

CLINT: We like his style,

0:14:230:14:25

and we think he's going to lead us to victory at this first task.

0:14:250:14:28

He has a good style. You DO have a good style, Gene.

0:14:280:14:30

Thank you, sir.

0:14:300:14:31

Who is your project manager?

0:14:310:14:33

I am, Mr Trump.

0:14:330:14:35

- What is your team name? - Our team name is Fortitude,

0:14:350:14:37

because it means strength of mind and having guts.

0:14:370:14:39

All right, that sounds good.

0:14:390:14:41

All right, Don and Ivanka will be my eyes and ears.

0:14:410:14:46

Ivanka, what is the task?

0:14:460:14:48

IVANKA: The first task is to design and build an ultramodern workspace.

0:14:480:14:52

You'll be judged on execution,

0:14:520:14:55

on functionality, and on originality.

0:14:550:14:57

TRUMP: OK, I am going to make the final decision,

0:14:570:15:00

but here's the good news -

0:15:000:15:03

the winning project manager

0:15:030:15:04

is going to receive something very special.

0:15:040:15:08

The losing team, somebody will be fired,

0:15:080:15:11

and it won't be nice, because you'll be the first one fired.

0:15:110:15:15

That's never great.

0:15:150:15:17

So you've got to build really great space.

0:15:170:15:20

Use this. Use imagination. Good luck.

0:15:200:15:23

ALL: Thank you. TRUMP: Good luck.

0:15:230:15:25

MAHSA: Is this it? KELLY: Wow.

0:15:450:15:47

NICOLE: Ladies, this is our space. So, here's the thing.

0:15:470:15:50

POPPY: Let's pull up some chairs so we can sit down and write stuff.

0:15:500:15:52

NICOLE: 'Our task was to create a modern office.'

0:15:520:15:55

So we get to our space.

0:15:550:15:56

'No walls, completely open, and there's all these windows.'

0:15:560:16:00

Our designer's going to be here in half an hour,

0:16:000:16:02

so let's use this half an hour

0:16:020:16:04

so that we have a general consensus about what we want.

0:16:040:16:06

KELLY: I think we should do something really opulent and, you know...

0:16:060:16:08

NICOLE: Oh, like luxury...like Trump.

0:16:080:16:10

Luxury - exactly.

0:16:100:16:11

KELLY: 'When Mr Trump told us

0:16:110:16:12

'that he was going to actually judge the task,

0:16:120:16:15

'I thought, "Oh, my goodness!"'

0:16:150:16:18

He has set the standard

0:16:180:16:20

for what luxury and what office space

0:16:200:16:22

SHOULD BE in American business.

0:16:220:16:24

'We have got to pull this together, and it has to be mind-blowing.'

0:16:240:16:28

We have something lofty. Why don't we do something artistic,

0:16:280:16:31

like a photography studio, or...

0:16:310:16:33

STEPHANIE: But that's gallery, not office.

0:16:330:16:34

No, you can make it an office.

0:16:340:16:36

TYANA: 'My background is in new home sales.

0:16:360:16:38

'Three of my last projects have been urban loft spaces.

0:16:380:16:41

'This couldn't have been'

0:16:410:16:43

more well-suited for me. I know exactly...I had a vision.

0:16:430:16:46

NICOLE: We have to figure out what to do with these columns.

0:16:460:16:50

I've always wanted to do something on the pole,

0:16:500:16:53

if we can design a round table around the pole.

0:16:530:16:56

So we can use that as the space.

0:16:560:16:59

And I think it needs to be like an urban downtown loft.

0:16:590:17:02

Like, a black accent wall and grey paint.

0:17:020:17:05

NICOLE: 'Tyana said she has design or style experience.

0:17:050:17:09

'I didn't get any of that from what she wore.'

0:17:090:17:12

I just thought it was tacky.

0:17:120:17:14

TYANA: I have done grey with black

0:17:140:17:16

as an accent wall, and it was gorgeous.

0:17:160:17:18

NICOLE: No.

0:17:180:17:19

WADE: Whoo! STEUART: We're here.

0:17:270:17:30

ANAND: 'Immediately when we walked in the workspace, I was stunned.

0:17:300:17:32

'Here, we had a bare-bones office,

0:17:320:17:34

'and there was a lot of work to be done.'

0:17:340:17:36

This area is known for a lot of more e-commerce-style companies.

0:17:360:17:40

This is SoHo. This is very high-end.

0:17:400:17:41

This is going to be an exclusive space.

0:17:410:17:44

I do have an extensive commercial office real estate background,

0:17:440:17:47

'but it's been almost nine months since I was last in real estate,

0:17:470:17:49

'so it feels good to be back involved.'

0:17:490:17:53

What's our demo?

0:17:530:17:54

We're going to have, like, young, urban professionals, graphic designers...

0:17:540:17:58

The way we design it doesn't necessarily have to only cater to those types of people.

0:17:580:18:02

Mr Trump is going to come back to us and say,

0:18:020:18:03

"This is no good for a financial firm or a law office."

0:18:030:18:07

It needs to be applicable to any industry.

0:18:070:18:10

GENE: Any industry, exactly.

0:18:100:18:11

GENE: 'This is my first day of work in a long time.

0:18:110:18:14

To go from figuring out what I'm going to do every day'

0:18:140:18:17

to be thrown kind of right back into the fray,

0:18:170:18:21

it kind of takes you a minute

0:18:210:18:22

'to think about, "Wow, I'm working!"'

0:18:220:18:24

Here's what I'm thinking,

0:18:240:18:27

since we are in SoHo, it's a funky area, kind of on the edge,

0:18:270:18:29

we do a green, modern workspace, with some foliage,

0:18:290:18:33

but green is the theme right now for everything that we're doing.

0:18:330:18:37

JAMES: 'Gene's idea was, "We're going to make this a green office space,"'

0:18:370:18:42

which was a terrific idea.

0:18:420:18:45

It turns out Gene had no idea what that meant.

0:18:450:18:47

GENE: So, we want a reception area.

0:18:470:18:49

OK, so, I'm thinking...

0:18:490:18:50

Uh...

0:18:500:18:52

So, wow, all this could be used right here.

0:18:540:18:59

OK. That's great.

0:18:590:19:00

How you doing?

0:19:000:19:02

JAMES: 'The architectural renderer showed up,

0:19:020:19:04

'and we have a limited amount of time with this guy.

0:19:040:19:07

'I was expecting Gene to sit down and say,'

0:19:070:19:10

"OK, let's work on some designs."

0:19:100:19:12

GENE: OK, now, the details that Anand had mentioned,

0:19:120:19:15

OK, which...we don't want to forget the windows.

0:19:150:19:18

We still have yet to work the windows in.

0:19:180:19:20

And I'm thinking more like a linen.

0:19:200:19:21

That's what I was saying, like a linen fabric.

0:19:210:19:24

JAMES: 'Instead, Gene was off discussing, you know,'

0:19:240:19:27

what colour the drapes should be.

0:19:270:19:29

'We're getting nowhere.'

0:19:290:19:30

NICOLE: If all of us talk to the architect, it's going to be crazy,

0:19:440:19:47

so I want to talk about the design. TYANA: I can, too.

0:19:470:19:50

Who else feels, creatively, that they could really...OK, Poppy.

0:19:520:19:55

STEPHANIE: I think people should get paint while you guys are meeting.

0:19:550:19:58

ALL: Hi.

0:19:580:20:01

I'm Nicole.

0:20:010:20:02

NICOLE: 'Once our architectural designer had arrived,

0:20:020:20:05

'it was time for us to talk specifics of layout.

0:20:050:20:07

'The concept we decided to go with'

0:20:070:20:10

was modern executive,

0:20:100:20:11

meaning that we wanted to keep it

0:20:110:20:13

a little bit traditional,

0:20:130:20:14

'but having a modern edge to it.'

0:20:140:20:17

MAHSA: So, do you want us to skip this creative meeting and go buy paint?

0:20:170:20:20

NICOLE: People that feel they need to be here, stay.

0:20:200:20:23

MAHSA: I can do whatever you want. Tell me what to do.

0:20:230:20:25

Why don't you guys go get food? >

0:20:250:20:26

Food or paint? I don't mind getting food.

0:20:260:20:29

KELLY: Let's just do food AND paint. Do both.

0:20:290:20:31

MAHSA: 'I'm an assistant district attorney in Brooklyn.

0:20:310:20:33

'I'm used to communicating, like, being precise.

0:20:330:20:37

'I think Nicole has a little bit of a problem being the project manager,'

0:20:370:20:40

because she keeps asking what I want to do.

0:20:400:20:42

You tell me what to do.

0:20:420:20:43

You're the leader. You need to lead.

0:20:430:20:45

MAHSA: Right now, I'm getting dark grey,

0:20:450:20:48

this colour, for that wall,

0:20:480:20:50

and I'm getting silver to paint this area, is that correct?

0:20:500:20:53

You guys decide amongst yourselves. I trust you.

0:20:530:20:56

MAHSA: 'She has a lot of grace,'

0:20:560:20:57

and on the outside it looks good, but she's lacking some substance.

0:20:570:21:00

Do you guys want Tyana to go? BRANDY: If she would be more use

0:21:030:21:06

with her design experience with us, then that's fine.

0:21:060:21:08

If you guys need her here, that's also fine.

0:21:080:21:10

- We can handle... - OK, then go, go, go.

0:21:100:21:12

TYANA: 'Since all my ideas had been already ignored by Nicole,

0:21:140:21:17

I thought the next most crucial thing would be the paint colour,

0:21:170:21:20

'and I knew I could go in and get the job done quickly.'

0:21:200:21:23

Let's go.

0:21:230:21:25

GENE: I think we should paint this wall.

0:21:290:21:31

Anand, what do you think? That's what I think.

0:21:310:21:33

I think I kind of like it white.

0:21:330:21:35

That whole corner white?

0:21:350:21:36

Anytime you have white,

0:21:360:21:37

it definitely makes it look like a more big space.

0:21:370:21:39

Gene, I'm worried that we're losing sight of the fact

0:21:390:21:41

that we got the architect...

0:21:410:21:43

- I know. Give me a sec. - ..on a ticking clock.

0:21:430:21:45

GENE: OK, hang on.

0:21:450:21:47

This is going to be coloured.

0:21:470:21:50

It always helps to sort of start sketching small.

0:21:500:21:52

So I think we'll just sort of start

0:21:520:21:54

to lay out a little road map here, a little plan.

0:21:540:21:56

JAMES: 'After mentioning to Gene'

0:21:560:21:59

that we need to use our time with the architectural renderer

0:21:590:22:02

and him ignoring it...

0:22:020:22:03

What we're going to do is move that conference room more inwards...

0:22:030:22:06

JAMES: In the back corner. ANAND: Yeah.

0:22:060:22:08

JAMES: '...Anand and I stepped up and said,

0:22:080:22:10

'"OK, we need to get some ideas on paper."'

0:22:100:22:12

ANAND: We're going to flip this around.

0:22:120:22:13

We're going to get rid of these tables,

0:22:130:22:15

and, instead, we're going to move...

0:22:150:22:16

we're going to add more desks along these windows.

0:22:160:22:18

What's down here in either one? Just empty space?

0:22:180:22:21

CLINT: 'It was a little frustrating that James and Anand

0:22:210:22:23

'had sidled up close to the sketch artist'

0:22:230:22:25

and kind of protected their territory over there,

0:22:250:22:27

because I think I had a few good ideas to offer,

0:22:270:22:29

as a real estate developer.

0:22:290:22:30

All those elements that we're looking for,

0:22:300:22:32

I mean, desks, that only gets us...a tenth of the way there.

0:22:320:22:37

It's - it's the little, like...accoutrements.

0:22:370:22:41

In terms of design concepts, we've incorporated

0:22:410:22:44

'the windows and the natural light really well.

0:22:440:22:46

'We've incorporated a conference area.'

0:22:460:22:48

Once you put a couch and maybe a couple chairs,

0:22:480:22:50

we're taking up most of this wall.

0:22:500:22:52

JAMES: 'Our lack of focus has to be Gene's fault.

0:22:520:22:55

'We've got eight people that are motivated,

0:22:550:22:58

'that are ready to work,'

0:22:580:22:59

and he needs to take that energy and direct it.

0:22:590:23:01

STEPHANIE: Here they are!

0:23:150:23:16

BRANDY: I think we've got it all. NICOLE: All right!

0:23:160:23:20

OK, so, we got your paint supplies,

0:23:200:23:21

your cleaning supplies, and we got you sandwiches.

0:23:210:23:23

Thank you!

0:23:230:23:25

While most of the team stayed behind to take care of the creative aspect,

0:23:250:23:28

Brandy, Tyana, and I

0:23:280:23:29

'picked up all the supplies

0:23:290:23:30

'we would need to make the place sparkly for Mr Trump.'

0:23:300:23:33

BRANDY: I can spearhead the manual labour, if you want me to paint.

0:23:330:23:36

NICOLE: Awesome! BRANDY: Yes?

0:23:360:23:38

NICOLE: So, then, I think that that means two of us are going shopping.

0:23:380:23:41

NICOLE: 'I knew that we were going to have to get'

0:23:410:23:44

the electronics that we needed

0:23:440:23:45

'while the paint group would start painting and cleaning.'

0:23:450:23:48

OK, let's go.

0:23:480:23:49

NICOLE: Do we know what we're getting at the AV store?

0:23:510:23:53

It would be really great if we could be

0:23:530:23:55

in and out of there super-duper fast. OK. Yes.

0:23:550:23:57

'I decided to bring Stephanie with me'

0:23:570:23:59

because she was the one who was sitting down with me the whole time

0:23:590:24:02

and understood the renderings.

0:24:020:24:04

STEPHANIE: OK. AV, what do you want to get?

0:24:040:24:06

Well, we need to get computer screens. 10.

0:24:060:24:09

I say we get laptops. Don't you think laptops are more functional?

0:24:090:24:11

OK, but the executive needs to have a desktop.

0:24:110:24:13

STEPHANIE: 'We're very stressed out

0:24:130:24:15

'cos we know that there's still a lot to do,'

0:24:150:24:18

and I've come as far as I want to go with the whole design.

0:24:180:24:20

I'm not a decorator!

0:24:200:24:22

STEPHANIE: I wish Tyana would chime in now with the creativity.

0:24:220:24:25

NICOLE: Well, maybe we stop by

0:24:250:24:27

before we go to get all of our shopping done.

0:24:270:24:29

I think we have to get Tyana.

0:24:290:24:30

She has more of an eye than I do, don't you think?

0:24:300:24:33

I don't know. Tyana frustrated me. I'm going to be honest.

0:24:330:24:37

STEPHANIE: 'I don't know where Nicole's biases come from

0:24:370:24:39

'with regards to Tyana,'

0:24:390:24:41

but she's in the design, real estate space business.

0:24:410:24:43

Use her abilities.

0:24:430:24:45

Focus, girl!

0:24:450:24:47

BRANDY: 1, 2, 3...Unh!

0:24:470:24:49

KELLY: 'Today is my first day of work in a long time,

0:24:560:25:00

'and it was so much work that had to go in

0:25:000:25:02

'to bringing the place up to par,'

0:25:020:25:04

but it felt great to just get back to work.

0:25:040:25:07

My God, doing these windows is taking FOR EVER!

0:25:070:25:12

We can do windows tomorrow. We can't do paint tomorrow.

0:25:120:25:14

I think it's the centrepiece of the place...

0:25:140:25:17

BRANDY: I'm not saying we don't do the windows,

0:25:170:25:19

but we can't paint tomorrow. That's my only...

0:25:190:25:21

See, I just don't think they're getting

0:25:240:25:26

-how this is just as big of a

-BLEEP

-problem.

0:25:260:25:29

I don't think they're getting it.

0:25:290:25:31

MAHSA: 'I would like Brandy

0:25:310:25:32

'to take her little butt off from using a roller'

0:25:320:25:35

and come and scrape and break HER back to make that window shine.

0:25:350:25:38

'So I'm just very annoyed at her right now.'

0:25:380:25:41

BRANDY: I was not meaning to boss the group around.

0:25:410:25:43

I was just raising a point.

0:25:430:25:44

MAHSA: I just want you to understand.

0:25:440:25:46

It's not like I'm not doing anything.

0:25:460:25:48

We're trying to get it done.

0:25:480:25:49

POPPY: 'Mahsa was trying to say that the windows were a lot of work

0:25:530:25:57

'and they had to be done,'

0:25:570:25:59

but Mahsa's a prosecutor.

0:25:590:26:00

She's got that harsh edge.

0:26:000:26:02

'So the things she says, I'm sure, come out the wrong way frequently.'

0:26:020:26:06

So what I need you guys to do is plants.

0:26:200:26:22

Are you serious?!

0:26:220:26:23

GENE: Yeah, I'm serious.

0:26:230:26:25

Oh, man! We can do the plants!

0:26:250:26:26

DAVID: 'Gene tasked Clint and I'

0:26:260:26:30

with ordering trees

0:26:300:26:31

or flowers or plants.

0:26:310:26:32

GENE: So let's go with some colour.

0:26:320:26:35

CLINT: I mean, we ought to explode colour all across there, yeah.

0:26:350:26:38

Like, some orange and yellow flowers and some green. Make it pop.

0:26:380:26:41

I don't want flowers. I want plants. I want trees.

0:26:410:26:44

I want bonsai-ish or...

0:26:440:26:46

Do they have anything that looks tropical?

0:26:460:26:48

Yeah, but we're not...I don't want to put a palm tree.

0:26:480:26:51

DAVID: 'I want to win this task. I want to stay out of the boardroom.'

0:26:510:26:55

I have everything on the line.

0:26:550:26:56

I have my life on the line.

0:26:560:26:58

'And I was very frustrated

0:26:580:26:59

'with a lot of the chaos and mismanagement.'

0:26:590:27:02

CLINT: Hey, Gene? GENE: Yes, sir.

0:27:020:27:04

CLINT: Are we dead sold on the little feng shui pine-type stuff,

0:27:040:27:06

Or do you care if we go with the tropical plants?

0:27:060:27:09

Make the decision on the plants,

0:27:090:27:10

and if anybody's got a problem, come see me.

0:27:100:27:12

I'm fine. I'm fine doing it,

0:27:120:27:14

I just want you to know in advance. I'm handling it.

0:27:140:27:16

No, you're good. OK, you know what I'm saying.

0:27:160:27:18

I got what you're saying. You're covered, OK?

0:27:180:27:19

I got your back, seriously.

0:27:190:27:21

CLINT: 'I pulled Gene aside.

0:27:210:27:23

I said, "Gene, I'd start calling to get these colourful plants.

0:27:230:27:26

'"It's going to be tense. I just want you to know that."'

0:27:260:27:29

He said, "Oh, no, no. If anything happens, it'll be on me."

0:27:290:27:31

DAVID: What are you doing? Are you doing flowers?

0:27:310:27:33

I need to call this lady back, get my TVs ordered,

0:27:330:27:36

and I don't have time to mess around with these guys.

0:27:360:27:38

If you need to call them to get here in time, go ahead and call them.

0:27:380:27:40

I can call the local branch in a little bit.

0:27:400:27:42

OK. That sounds good. I'm going to call these guys too.

0:27:420:27:44

No, you're...David, give me that back right now.

0:27:440:27:47

Hey, Dave, give me that right now.

0:27:470:27:48

I'm not going to screw around with this.

0:27:480:27:50

DAVID: 'I said I was going to call back my AV department,'

0:27:500:27:53

knowing that I was going to call the flower shop

0:27:530:27:55

that I had already been talking to,

0:27:550:27:57

'and so I grabbed the list of floral shops.'

0:27:570:28:00

Gene told me to call these people and get this stuff ordered.

0:28:000:28:02

Now, did he tell you to call them?

0:28:020:28:05

He told me to call people...

0:28:050:28:06

If you put your hands on me again, you're going to have a problem. Now, now, listen...

0:28:060:28:10

CLINT: 'David could not be reasoned with.'

0:28:100:28:12

He just went from one extreme, this goofy, happy, you know, "Golly!"

0:28:120:28:16

'to this just flaming, ignited human.'

0:28:160:28:19

Dave, just settle down.

0:28:190:28:22

ANAND: Settle down. Go make the call.

0:28:220:28:23

Don't argue. Make the call.

0:28:230:28:25

We can talk about this later on.

0:28:250:28:27

Tell him to stop wasting time.

0:28:270:28:29

It's fine. You make the call. You have a job to do...

0:28:290:28:31

'I don't look for a fight, I don't pick a fight,'

0:28:310:28:34

but I'm older than a lot of the candidates.

0:28:340:28:36

I have more experience

0:28:360:28:37

than almost all of them,

0:28:370:28:38

'and so I do not like being brushed off.'

0:28:380:28:43

Dave, please...

0:28:430:28:44

Clint, it's all right. Everything's good...

0:28:440:28:46

Don't put your hands...I'm serious.

0:28:460:28:48

I don't care, buddy. Don't touch me. Seriously.

0:28:480:28:50

CLINT: 'If I had been the PM,

0:28:500:28:53

'David would have been out because of his distraction.'

0:28:530:28:56

He was the biggest distraction we had,

0:28:560:28:58

but I don't think David was the cause of all the distractions.

0:28:580:29:01

The cause of the distractions was the chaos

0:29:010:29:02

'that came from Gene's lack of leadership.'

0:29:020:29:07

Squash it. We're done. I love you.

0:29:070:29:08

I want to make sure you're OK.

0:29:080:29:10

Call some flowers so I can call this AV girl back.

0:29:100:29:12

Cool?

0:29:120:29:14

- Bonus? - OK.

0:29:140:29:16

So let's go do what we got to do.

0:29:270:29:28

Thank you guys very much for your help.

0:29:280:29:31

GENE: 'Since Anand and I were going to go run some errands,

0:29:310:29:34

'I thought it was better that people start working on the space

0:29:340:29:37

'to basically maximise the time that we had.

0:29:370:29:39

'And the biggest thing for me was getting the space painted,'

0:29:390:29:43

so that we could come in the next day

0:29:430:29:45

and just basically build around that scheme.

0:29:450:29:46

Hi, folks.

0:29:540:29:56

Nice to meet you all.

0:29:560:29:57

- Nice to meet you. I'm a little... - Oh, yeah, don't shake my hand!

0:29:570:30:00

So what's the general concept, then,

0:30:020:30:03

in terms of the theme for this ultramodern office space?

0:30:030:30:07

Gene, the project manager, came up with the idea of a green office.

0:30:080:30:12

Not overly original!

0:30:120:30:13

The green stuff is more in the details

0:30:150:30:18

of how we're executing it.

0:30:180:30:20

JAMES: 'Ivanka scared the crap out of me!

0:30:200:30:23

'And I immediately was concerned that Gene wasn't there,'

0:30:230:30:26

and that we had seemingly accomplished nothing.

0:30:260:30:29

Are you going to utilize this space at all, for the laptop stations?

0:30:290:30:32

Well, no, the laptops will go on the desks, and...

0:30:320:30:35

Which are where?

0:30:350:30:36

Well, they're going to run along this...this wall here.

0:30:360:30:39

I want to be supportive of you guys,

0:30:390:30:41

but I haven't heard anything that's blowing my socks off,

0:30:410:30:43

in terms of concept.

0:30:430:30:44

'This is a group being judged'

0:30:440:30:47

on how to build, develop, design New York real estate.

0:30:470:30:51

This is not a task anyone wants to be sitting across the boardroom

0:30:530:30:56

from my father, having screwed up on,

0:30:560:30:57

because my father's seen everything when it comes to real estate.

0:30:570:31:01

This looks so awesome!

0:31:150:31:17

Hi! I feel like I should take my shoes off!

0:31:170:31:21

STEPHANIE: 'So when we came back, I felt good.

0:31:210:31:23

'The paint was well underway.'

0:31:230:31:25

They were doing really well with that. They were coming along.

0:31:250:31:27

The floors looked great.

0:31:270:31:28

So a lot of work had been done.

0:31:280:31:29

NICOLE: Who wants to go with me to CORT right now?

0:31:290:31:33

I think you should go. Who else feels design-inclinated?

0:31:330:31:35

STEPHANIE: That's the office furniture.

0:31:350:31:37

I need people who know what they can do with furniture.

0:31:370:31:40

TYANA: Poppy, did you want to go? - Do you want to go?

0:31:400:31:42

POPPY: I'll go. I will go.

0:31:420:31:43

NICOLE: OK. Poppy and Tyana are going to come with me.

0:31:430:31:45

NICOLE: 'There's a lot of pressure right now

0:31:450:31:47

'because I'm the first project manager,

0:31:470:31:49

'but at the same time, I'm thinking about'

0:31:490:31:51

how I would defend the decisions I made.

0:31:510:31:53

STEPHANIE: Have fun, guys. NICOLE: Thanks!

0:31:530:31:55

We're going to be pushing it at the furniture place.

0:31:550:31:57

NICOLE: 'And I honestly was only bringing Tyana'

0:31:570:32:01

because, if we failed and Donald Trump asked,

0:32:010:32:04

"Why didn't you take the one person that has experience

0:32:040:32:06

"staging for loft space?" I would have no good excuse.

0:32:060:32:09

This door's really heavy!

0:32:120:32:15

Hello. Welcome to CORT. >

0:32:170:32:19

Hi, Nicole from Team Fortitude.

0:32:190:32:20

POPPY: 'We definitely left way too late for CORT Furniture.

0:32:200:32:23

'I was really nervous,

0:32:230:32:25

and we had a serious time crunch.

0:32:250:32:27

We need to pick everything in the next 45 minutes.

0:32:270:32:30

ASSISTANT: This could function very easily as a desk.

0:32:320:32:34

Say that we divide this, and we have someone sitting there and there?

0:32:340:32:37

Yeah, it's very modern.

0:32:370:32:39

We want four of these.

0:32:390:32:40

Four of these, and eight chairs.

0:32:400:32:42

TYANA: 'I know Nicole was kind of stressing a little bit,

0:32:420:32:45

'But I've done this.

0:32:450:32:46

I literally can walk in, and, boom! I know what I want.

0:32:460:32:49

I can point at it and say, "this is it."

0:32:490:32:51

TYANA: Or throw in two of those,

0:32:510:32:53

cos we might be able to put one in the executive office.

0:32:530:32:56

NICOLE: Yes, two of these.

0:32:560:32:57

TYANA: I'd rather have this as the reception desk

0:32:570:32:59

with the white leather chairs.

0:32:590:33:01

OK, yes. Yes. Let's do that.

0:33:010:33:02

ASSISTANT: Conference tables are going to be

0:33:020:33:04

rectangular shape in wood tones.

0:33:040:33:06

TYANA: All right, the darkest mahogany you have in this.

0:33:060:33:08

- Let's find nice chairs... - I mean, do we like those chairs?

0:33:080:33:11

Yes, with those chairs.

0:33:110:33:13

NICOLE: 'I was checking my watch every five minutes,

0:33:130:33:16

'and Tyana started going, "I like that. I like that.

0:33:160:33:18

'"I don't like that. I don't like that."'

0:33:180:33:19

- They're comfortable! - Oh, my goodness!

0:33:190:33:21

TYANA: Eight of these. NICOLE: Eight.

0:33:210:33:23

And my opinion of her shifted

0:33:230:33:25

'because she really did get the job done in 45 minutes.'

0:33:250:33:27

NICOLE: Love it! Love it! Done!

0:33:270:33:29

GENE: What you got? CLINT: We may have a "wow" factor.

0:33:400:33:42

DAVID: Each workstation would have its own Zen garden.

0:33:420:33:44

CLINT: 'Well, right now,'

0:33:440:33:45

we don't have that "pow" factor,

0:33:450:33:47

but I think we're going to come up with something great

0:33:470:33:49

that really knocks Mr Trump off his feet.

0:33:490:33:51

I really hope so.

0:33:510:33:53

GENE: Make it happen, all right?

0:33:530:33:54

DAVID: How about Clint and I do the window box?

0:33:540:33:56

We'll get it done. We'll get the materials.

0:33:560:33:59

We'll get it cut. We'll build it for you.

0:33:590:34:01

'Gene is a strong person,

0:34:010:34:02

'and I think that he's shown a lot of weakness'

0:34:020:34:06

because he doesn't know how to lead a talented group of people.

0:34:060:34:09

L-brackets, L-connectors,

0:34:090:34:11

rocks poured in, five pans, sand.

0:34:110:34:16

All right, we need an executive decision,

0:34:160:34:19

and I can't have this, "I'm going to do this. I'm going to build this."

0:34:190:34:22

Gene, what do you want us to build?

0:34:220:34:24

GENE: OK, you know what? Time out.

0:34:240:34:26

Just nobody talk at all.

0:34:260:34:29

-This is becoming a cluster

-BLEEP.

-The Zen garden's scrapped.

0:34:290:34:32

I'm trying to keep everybody happy, I'm also trying to win a task.

0:34:320:34:37

So unless you guys want to go in the flipping boardroom,

0:34:370:34:39

which I don't want to do,

0:34:390:34:40

you're going to trust each other, and you're going to trust me.

0:34:400:34:42

There is no more conversation.

0:34:420:34:45

You have taken this from a democracy

0:34:450:34:47

into where it's going to be me.

0:34:470:34:49

My ass is on the line.

0:34:490:34:50

- Are we crystal clear on that? - We're clear. Are YOU clear?

0:34:500:34:52

OK, you know I'm a military man, so this is not a conversation.

0:34:520:34:56

I'm clear. We got a bunch of stuff that we got to go through.

0:34:560:34:58

-I don't have time for this

-BLEEP,

-OK?

0:34:580:35:01

ANAND: 'Gene kind of got everyone in line,'

0:35:010:35:04

but David, he wants to be heard,

0:35:040:35:07

and when he gets kind of pushed aside, he acts out.

0:35:070:35:10

Gene's giving 19 orders and no direction.

0:35:100:35:12

David. David! I'm talking to you.

0:35:120:35:15

I want you to lower it down.

0:35:150:35:16

You can talk to me nicely and command respect.

0:35:160:35:19

OK, well, here's the thing.

0:35:190:35:20

You're actually talking over me, so what I need you to do...

0:35:200:35:23

No one's talking over you.

0:35:230:35:25

Actually, when I'm talking to you, when you're talking to somebody else,

0:35:250:35:28

- what I need you to do is zip it. - Your orders are confusing.

0:35:280:35:30

They're confusing? You just keep talking.

0:35:300:35:32

I'll tell you what, you want to go sit down? You go have a seat.

0:35:320:35:35

I'm not going to have a seat, because nothing's going to get done and you're going to go home.

0:35:350:35:38

Sit still.

0:35:380:35:39

Do you want to go home? I'm asking a question.

0:35:390:35:41

- Bye-bye. - Do you want to go home?

0:35:410:35:42

I'm tired of talking to you. Let's go paint.

0:35:420:35:44

Gene, the answer when you walk away is, "Yes."

0:35:440:35:47

OK, but I'll tell you what, we'll see who goes home.

0:35:470:35:49

That's fine with me.

0:35:490:35:50

Ladies, first of all, awesome job yesterday,

0:35:590:36:02

but, obviously, we have to be

0:36:020:36:03

super on-task this morning.

0:36:030:36:05

So those of us that went to CORT yesterday,

0:36:050:36:07

which is Poppy, Tyana, and me,

0:36:070:36:09

we're going to go to the prop store.

0:36:090:36:10

I really think that I kind of have Donald Trump's taste

0:36:100:36:12

cos it's, like, Persian, extravagant, gold,

0:36:120:36:15

like, big, so I thought maybe I could help with that.

0:36:150:36:17

'Last night, I realised that doing all the manual labour,

0:36:170:36:20

'Nicole had no idea what I was doing,'

0:36:200:36:23

But I wasn't about to be left out

0:36:230:36:25

of the entire vision

0:36:250:36:26

altogether and not contribute.

0:36:260:36:28

KELLY: If you think that's where your skill set is, you should go.

0:36:280:36:31

I think I have, like, a lot of...

0:36:310:36:33

THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

0:36:330:36:36

OK, ladies, we're going to come to a decision, cos we need to go.

0:36:360:36:39

What do you think you want to do?

0:36:390:36:41

KELLY: I think you should go with them.

0:36:410:36:42

No, you're the leader. What do you want me to do?

0:36:420:36:44

But I'm telling you to tell me what you're best at, cos I don't know.

0:36:440:36:47

I think I'd be really good at picking out extravagant stuff with you guys.

0:36:470:36:50

OK, then let's go.

0:36:500:36:52

MAHSA: 'Once I stepped up and asked Nicole to make a decision,

0:36:520:36:55

'she immediately got really turned off by me, but I didn't care.

0:36:550:36:59

I definitely wanted to insert myself into the vision today,

0:36:590:37:02

so that way, I'm covered for the boardroom.

0:37:020:37:04

I worked really hard manually,

0:37:040:37:06

and I helped with the vision. I'm covered.

0:37:060:37:08

OK, did you want to focus on the coffee, the microwave, the toaster..?

0:37:100:37:12

No, I want to focus on the conference room.

0:37:120:37:15

OK, so, conference room, we need...

0:37:150:37:17

We need to create partitions for three walls.

0:37:170:37:19

ASSISTANT: Got it.

0:37:190:37:20

NICOLE: 'I had said our main concerns are that we have separated areas

0:37:200:37:23

'because Mr Trump's going to want to see'

0:37:230:37:25

that whoever's working in that space would be able to do their business.

0:37:250:37:28

'He's going to want some separation.'

0:37:280:37:31

NICOLE: I like the white leather.

0:37:310:37:33

- I LOVE this too. - I love it.

0:37:330:37:35

This is regal. And probably the only unirom thing we're going to find.

0:37:350:37:38

ASSISTANT: How about 4-even?

0:37:380:37:40

Awesome. 4-even is awesome.

0:37:400:37:42

TYANA: Here, Nicole.

0:37:420:37:43

This is our painting for behind the executive desk.

0:37:430:37:47

It could be his father!

0:37:470:37:49

If you think it matches with what we're doing...

0:37:490:37:51

Yeah, I think so!

0:37:510:37:52

We could call him Uncle Forti, like, Fortitude

0:37:520:37:55

Oh, my gosh!

0:37:550:37:57

NICOLE: 'Tyana fell in love

0:37:570:37:59

'with a painting of some old white guy.

0:37:590:38:02

'I don't know who it is.'

0:38:020:38:03

Tyana's the one who has experience staging places.

0:38:030:38:06

She thought that it matched the rest of our decor,

0:38:060:38:08

so I went with it, but I hate Uncle Forti.

0:38:080:38:11

So I want to make sure that we don't repeat yesterday.

0:38:220:38:24

Here's what I want to make sure that we do today.

0:38:240:38:26

If you take a task, own that task.

0:38:260:38:30

And I'm going to ask our fellow teammates

0:38:300:38:32

to respect that person with the task.

0:38:320:38:35

'I think, initially, I had a lot coming at me,

0:38:350:38:38

'and so I wanted to let them know'

0:38:380:38:39

we're not going to have today what we had the day before.

0:38:390:38:42

'You have to manage people.'

0:38:420:38:43

The bottom line with me is that I'll hear you,

0:38:430:38:46

but when I say, "Go," the discussion's over.

0:38:460:38:48

-We're behind you 110%. Let's just

-BLEEP

-get this done.

0:38:480:38:51

CLINT: 'When Gene said, "I'm going to give you a job. Own it," I said,

0:38:510:38:55

'"That's what I wanted to hear you say'

0:38:550:38:57

"3/4 of this task ago."

0:38:570:38:59

JAMES: We have the time now to take a step back and say,

0:38:590:39:02

"OK, how do we really make this pop?"

0:39:020:39:04

STEUART: Why don't we frame the windows?

0:39:040:39:05

In the actual window,

0:39:050:39:08

We hang an empty picture frame.

0:39:080:39:11

GENE: Mm-hmm.

0:39:110:39:13

JAMES: We've also got the idea of painting this wall

0:39:130:39:14

with symmetrical shapes.

0:39:140:39:15

Steuart and James, the picture frames, the artwork,

0:39:150:39:18

you guys own that. And so you guys know,

0:39:180:39:21

David's going to be in charge of technology.

0:39:210:39:23

He's going to own that.

0:39:230:39:25

GENE: 'So today, my challenge was going to be

0:39:250:39:26

'to make sure that everyone had ownership of the task

0:39:260:39:29

'and that we worked as a cohesive team.'

0:39:290:39:32

For us to have that cohesiveness, I needed to get David under control.

0:39:320:39:35

GENE: Anyone that steps on your toes with AV...-

0:39:350:39:37

- Yeah, no one's stepping on my toes. - OK, good.

0:39:370:39:39

I got your point on it. It's done. I like it.

0:39:390:39:42

I've got an important call to make.

0:39:420:39:43

Give me five minutes.

0:39:430:39:45

DAVID: 'I used to make six figures consistently.'

0:39:470:39:51

Now I make unemployment compensation

0:39:510:39:54

from the state of Michigan,

0:39:540:39:56

and it's very...humbling.

0:39:560:39:59

PHONE LINE: 'To claim weeks of unemployment, press 1.'

0:39:590:40:04

DAVID: 'Don't like doing it, but I have a family,

0:40:040:40:06

'and I take what I can get.'

0:40:060:40:07

PHONE LINE: 'Are you back to work full time?

0:40:070:40:10

PHONE BEEPS No!

0:40:100:40:13

DAVID: 'I would never imagine having to support five children

0:40:130:40:16

'on an unemployment cheque. It DOESN'T support them.'

0:40:160:40:19

Always the same questions, too.

0:40:190:40:22

I just feel like a loser.

0:40:220:40:24

PHONE LINE: 'Did you quit any work or get fired from a job?'

0:40:240:40:26

Nope.

0:40:260:40:29

'Being unemployed has shattered me as a man.

0:40:290:40:31

'I am embarrassed.

0:40:310:40:33

'I have shame for the first time in my entire life.

0:40:330:40:36

'I have a lot more to lose than any of the other contestants.

0:40:360:40:40

'I feel, by winning The Apprentice,'

0:40:400:40:44

that this is the catalyst

0:40:440:40:46

that will bring my life back.

0:40:460:40:48

PHONE LINE: Thank you for calling the telephone certification system.'

0:40:480:40:52

'Goodbye.'

0:40:520:40:54

And that's it, every other week.

0:40:540:40:56

Is this my stuff over here, unloaded?

0:41:110:41:12

- Yes, sir. - All right.

0:41:120:41:14

I want to link my monitors.

0:41:140:41:15

I don't know if it's something simple like a VGA splitter

0:41:150:41:17

Or even, you know, Wi-Fi, or what they are...

0:41:170:41:20

You sound like a AV guy! "VGA splitter!"

0:41:200:41:21

DAVID: 'I have a technical background.

0:41:210:41:24

'I was a telecommunications account manager.'

0:41:240:41:27

I wasn't the AV guy in high school in any way...

0:41:270:41:30

not that there's anything wrong with AV guys. I love you.

0:41:300:41:32

ANAND: Gene. GENE: Yes?

0:41:340:41:35

ANAND: Are we on board with these trees?

0:41:350:41:37

Love it! Rock on, baby, yes!

0:41:370:41:39

Follow me. So, we have, like, a white canvas with a blue line.

0:41:390:41:42

OK.

0:41:420:41:43

And that line continues off on the wall.

0:41:430:41:46

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

0:41:460:41:47

And then we go up and over this, come down,

0:41:470:41:49

Continue on the wall and in the canvas.

0:41:490:41:52

DAVID: I've got all of it networked.

0:41:520:41:54

OK, let me see what you got.

0:41:540:41:56

Dude, amazing job, by the way.

0:41:560:41:58

I think the team's been responding great

0:41:580:42:00

to having ownership of their task,

0:42:000:42:01

'cos they know I trust their judgment,

0:42:010:42:03

'and now David is performing and producing.'

0:42:030:42:07

Everybody's got their departments and what they need?

0:42:070:42:08

We're good. You're in charge of everything else.

0:42:080:42:11

If you need something, call me, brother. OK. We're out.

0:42:110:42:14

GENE: 'I took Steuart and Wade to get some office supplies.

0:42:140:42:17

'I felt like I had given very clear instructions

0:42:170:42:19

'for the guys back at the space.'

0:42:190:42:21

I felt very comfortable with that decision.

0:42:210:42:23

The faster, the better,

0:42:230:42:24

cos we got four hours at this point.

0:42:240:42:26

Four hours.

0:42:260:42:28

- Is that ours? - Furniture's here.

0:42:380:42:41

Thank you.

0:42:410:42:43

Hello, ladies.

0:42:440:42:45

STEPHANIE: Oh, y'all are back! Oh, my gosh!

0:42:450:42:49

NICOLE: 'We get back from the prop house,

0:42:490:42:51

'and CORT has just got there'

0:42:510:42:53

with their first truck, and they're starting to unload things.

0:42:530:42:55

'It's just chaotic.'

0:42:550:42:58

NICOLE: This is a table that's not done,

0:43:010:43:03

and it's going to go in front of the chair. Hi, Don!

0:43:030:43:05

- Hi. How are you? - Good.

0:43:050:43:07

- So, what do you think? - We're in the final crunch.

0:43:070:43:09

- Yeah, it looks like it! - I think it'll get done.

0:43:090:43:12

What's the theme? What's the motif that you guys are going with?

0:43:120:43:14

The motif we were going for was a combination

0:43:140:43:17

of modern executive and modern green.

0:43:170:43:20

That doesn't necessarily surprise me,

0:43:200:43:22

but that doesn't mean it necessarily works with this space.

0:43:220:43:24

DON: 'Right now, it's a total mess. It's a big void.

0:43:240:43:27

'They have a long way to go before pulling this together'

0:43:270:43:29

to be any kind of office space that we would find acceptable.

0:43:290:43:33

Who's been your biggest help,

0:43:330:43:35

and who's been your biggest detriment so far?

0:43:350:43:37

My biggest help has probably been Tyana,

0:43:370:43:40

because she has really helped with the creative,

0:43:400:43:43

but ask me yesterday, and I would have said

0:43:430:43:45

she was my biggest detriment.

0:43:450:43:47

She was like my Cyndi Lauper.

0:43:470:43:49

She said I'm her Cyndi Lauper.

0:43:500:43:53

I couldn't make up my mind yesterday.

0:43:530:43:55

Look, you picked out the paint.

0:43:550:43:56

You picked out the furniture. Hello?!

0:43:560:43:59

TYANA: 'Nicole just has it in for me.

0:43:590:44:01

'She's your pageant princess lawyer'

0:44:010:44:03

and looks at me probably like the homeless dog

0:44:030:44:05

living in the alley.

0:44:050:44:07

It's a huge mistake on her part.

0:44:070:44:10

Tyana.

0:44:100:44:12

- How are you? - Pleasure.

0:44:120:44:13

- Very nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.

0:44:130:44:15

- So what do you think so far? - Um...

0:44:150:44:17

You got to be candid.

0:44:170:44:18

If you're not candid about it now and it comes up later on

0:44:180:44:21

and you didn't do anything about it, then, you know...

0:44:210:44:23

I think the leadership was missing. I think there was no delegation.

0:44:230:44:26

I think every time I tried to give ideas, they were rejected.

0:44:260:44:29

So you think your PM is pretty weak?

0:44:290:44:31

She's not making strong decisions.

0:44:310:44:33

She's just kind of letting people do what they want.

0:44:330:44:35

DON: 'The team dynamic is really interesting.

0:44:350:44:37

'If there's been a lack of leadership coming from the PM,

0:44:370:44:40

'that could be something that affects the team.'

0:44:400:44:42

They have to get a lot done in a very short period of time,

0:44:420:44:44

so it's going to be difficult

0:44:440:44:45

if someone's not making the decisions right off the bat.

0:44:450:44:48

Well, I'm going to let you get back to work.

0:44:480:44:50

- Thank you. - Speak to you soon.

0:44:500:44:51

All right.

0:44:510:44:52

OK, do we have time

0:45:010:45:02

to make that complicated? James, come here one second.

0:45:020:45:05

GENE: 'So when I got back to the office space,

0:45:050:45:07

There were some things that were

0:45:070:45:09

taking a little bit more time than I would have liked.

0:45:090:45:12

I want this straight.

0:45:120:45:13

Boom, boom, up, over, boom, boom, done.

0:45:130:45:16

Yeah, but it's...

0:45:160:45:18

I don't have time for that.

0:45:180:45:19

Just do what I ask you to do, and we'll call it a day.

0:45:190:45:21

Well, if you had been here two hours ago...

0:45:210:45:23

I had to go do something else.

0:45:230:45:24

Yeah, well... Do what I ask you to do and be done, please.

0:45:240:45:27

Gene, we're two thirds done here.

0:45:270:45:29

JAMES: 'When Gene finally got back from wherever he was,

0:45:290:45:32

'He came in and said, "I hate this. Take it down."'

0:45:320:45:35

I don't know how I can own the project,

0:45:350:45:37

but then also be micromanaged.

0:45:370:45:39

What did we talk about in the beginning?

0:45:390:45:40

Didn't I say, "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom?"

0:45:400:45:43

I was very specific.

0:45:430:45:44

Right, and I'm doing the art, and so I'm taking that vision

0:45:440:45:46

and turning it into something different.

0:45:460:45:48

If it's not done on time, you own it.

0:45:480:45:50

- Yeah, I do own it. - Go. Do your thing.

0:45:500:45:52

James' painting was

0:45:540:45:55

a little bit more complicated than what I was looking for.

0:45:550:45:58

I was very conscious to how much time we had.

0:45:580:45:59

I thought he made it harder than what it needed to be,

0:45:590:46:02

to where it could have sabotaged the entire project.

0:46:020:46:05

These rugs...I'm afraid somebody's going to slip on this,

0:46:050:46:07

so we're going to have to move these.

0:46:070:46:09

OK, and where is the furniture? ALEX: We don't know.

0:46:090:46:11

She's supposed to deliver our damn desks and all our chairs.

0:46:110:46:13

I don't know where the hell she is.

0:46:130:46:15

GENE: OK, what's our backup plan?

0:46:150:46:16

We got to get the furniture. There's no backup plan.

0:46:160:46:19

Hello? PHONE BEEPS AND CRACKLES

0:46:190:46:21

-But we've run out of

-BLEEP

-time!

0:46:210:46:24

KELLY: Do we have two more chairs coming?

0:46:380:46:40

TYANA: I don't think so.

0:46:400:46:41

So now we have the furniture in.

0:46:410:46:43

We have the electronics.

0:46:430:46:44

Now we're ready to dress the room

0:46:440:46:46

and make it this beautiful modern workspace

0:46:460:46:48

that we know Mr Trump is going to be looking for.

0:46:480:46:51

Are we doing the crisscross side or this side?

0:46:510:46:53

Which one do you want, Nicole?

0:46:530:46:55

Whatever. I don't know. Come on. Come on. Come on.

0:46:550:46:58

Yeah, the crisscross on the outside.

0:46:580:47:00

LIZA: 'Every time we would ask Nicole a question,

0:47:000:47:02

'she would say, "What do you think?"

0:47:020:47:03

'She's going to come out looking like she did a great job.

0:47:030:47:05

'Regardless of if she was'

0:47:050:47:06

the worst project manager and didn't do anything.

0:47:060:47:08

'It didn't matter.'

0:47:080:47:10

NICOLE: We have to figure out our presentation.

0:47:100:47:12

LIZA: I think we should all stand, like, in a horseshoe.

0:47:120:47:14

TYANA: No, no, no. We're going to say...

0:47:140:47:17

like, when you're working, this is sales, that's accounting.

0:47:170:47:19

TYANA: 'For the presentation, girls can act like employees'

0:47:190:47:22

so we can show it as a working office.

0:47:220:47:24

I'll be the receptionist, and I'll greet Mr Trump.

0:47:240:47:27

- You should pretend buzz me. - Yes!

0:47:270:47:28

- I'll be in the executive room. - Yes, yes!

0:47:280:47:31

I can be like, "Why am I waiting? She should have been ready to go."

0:47:310:47:34

No, because I'm just going to say, "Welcome to..."

0:47:340:47:36

Just be really cute, so he thinks it's adorable.

0:47:360:47:39

GENE: We got 30 minutes left, guys. Make it happen.

0:47:480:47:51

There we go. There's our furniture. Great!

0:47:510:47:53

STEUART: Chair!

0:47:570:47:58

GENE: No, I don't want that there.

0:48:010:48:04

That's going to take away from what we're trying to do.

0:48:040:48:06

Put it right there.

0:48:060:48:08

Scheisse!

0:48:080:48:09

JAMES: 'The last time I worked this hard was about a year ago,

0:48:090:48:12

'and it was a lot of fun to be,'

0:48:120:48:15

you know, hard at work at something

0:48:150:48:16

that I was really personally invested in.

0:48:160:48:18

GENE: Guys, we got 15 minutes.

0:48:180:48:21

Guys, no offence, I'm the oldest guy here,

0:48:210:48:24

and I need you guys to move a little bit faster.

0:48:240:48:27

Two minutes. Can we move that damn cord, please?

0:48:270:48:29

Let's go!

0:48:290:48:31

Move that one over to that table.

0:48:310:48:33

GENE: Hey, take that all the way to the back, please.

0:48:330:48:36

We did it! We did it!

0:48:390:48:41

ANAND: 'I think it's a beautiful workspace.'

0:48:430:48:46

Men aren't always known for having that nice, Midas touch

0:48:460:48:48

when it comes to arrangement and layout,

0:48:480:48:50

'but I feel very good about it.

0:48:500:48:52

'I think my teammates did a great job. We're going to win.'

0:48:520:48:54

All right! Let's see what you got, Fortitude!

0:48:540:48:57

REGAL MUSIC

0:48:570:49:00

- Hello. - Welcome to Fortitude, Mr Trump.

0:49:060:49:08

Nice to see you.

0:49:080:49:10

Nice to see you. Nicole is expecting you.

0:49:100:49:11

- OK, where's Nicole? - Just a second.

0:49:110:49:13

Nicole, Mr Trump is here.

0:49:130:49:15

Good evening, Mr Trump. Nice to see you again.

0:49:160:49:18

Nice to see you.

0:49:180:49:19

This is the floor plan that we decided on,

0:49:190:49:21

The modern executive, but let me walk you through it right now.

0:49:210:49:24

- OK. Good. - So, if you'll follow me,

0:49:240:49:26

I'll show you over to the executive's office.

0:49:260:49:28

As you can see, it is somewhat open,

0:49:280:49:30

and that's because we were going for a modern feel.

0:49:300:49:32

Who's that?

0:49:320:49:33

That is what we decided is the grandfather of Fortitude, inc.

0:49:330:49:38

OK.

0:49:380:49:39

So, this would be one of our workspaces,

0:49:390:49:41

perhaps for the sales team.

0:49:410:49:43

And you got your breakup where?

0:49:430:49:45

And we've got our breakup at Props For Today as well.

0:49:450:49:48

- Do you like it? - I do.

0:49:480:49:50

We tried to pick the ones that we thought represented class.

0:49:500:49:52

OK, let's go.

0:49:520:49:54

Next, we move into kind of our piece de resistance,

0:49:540:49:57

which is our conference room.

0:49:570:49:59

We have a large plasma on the wall,

0:49:590:50:01

so that everyone would be able to watch if needed.

0:50:010:50:04

we kept this room large so that,

0:50:040:50:06

if we needed to have a large meeting,

0:50:060:50:08

- everyone would be accommodated. - OK. Good.

0:50:080:50:11

'I was really proud of ourselves.

0:50:110:50:13

'I think it looked really good,

0:50:130:50:14

'But if we lose and it's because of our design,

0:50:140:50:17

'a lot of that responsibility'

0:50:170:50:18

fell to Tyana. A lot of placement responsibility fell to her.

0:50:180:50:22

That's why, on the second day, when we were staging,

0:50:220:50:24

I made sure to say, "Tyana, where do you think we should put this?"

0:50:240:50:27

OK. See you in the boardroom. NICOLE: Thank you so much.

0:50:270:50:30

Thank you. Thank you.

0:50:300:50:31

GENE: What a difference a day makes!

0:50:390:50:40

You guys brought your A-game.

0:50:400:50:43

'I was very pleased,'

0:50:430:50:44

seeing that vision come together. I believe it accomplished

0:50:440:50:47

exactly what we were looking for.

0:50:470:50:49

a modern, green space.

0:50:490:50:52

ALL: Octane!

0:50:520:50:53

- How are you, Gene? - How you doing, Mr Trump?

0:50:530:50:56

- Good. Nice to see you. - Nice to see you, too.

0:50:560:50:58

'We didn't really have a solid plan for the presentation.'

0:50:580:51:02

I really was just going to let the space speak for itself.

0:51:020:51:04

The decoration on the wall, whose idea was that?

0:51:040:51:07

JAMES: That's me. TRUMP: Oh, did you do that?

0:51:070:51:10

I did, yeah.

0:51:100:51:11

TRUMP: Do you have some kind of an artistic background?

0:51:110:51:15

None at all!

0:51:150:51:16

TRUMP: That your boardroom table? GENE: Yes, sir.

0:51:160:51:18

TRUMP: It's really not a boardroom look.

0:51:180:51:20

JAMES: Certainly, but it fits the space.

0:51:200:51:22

It fits with the burnt orange wall.

0:51:220:51:24

And who picked these tables?

0:51:240:51:26

CLATTER

0:51:260:51:27

Whoops. You OK? MAN: Yep, I'm good.

0:51:270:51:29

I think we got to do something with this rug.

0:51:290:51:32

Trump: You all right? MAN: Yeah.

0:51:320:51:33

STEUART: 'Mr Trump literally standing there

0:51:330:51:36

'while two people tanked on those rugs

0:51:360:51:38

'is going to be something brought up in the boardroom, no question,'

0:51:380:51:41

Because, you know, having a liability like that

0:51:410:51:44

is not something any businessman wants.

0:51:440:51:46

And the rugs?

0:51:460:51:47

ANAND: That would be me, Mr Trump.

0:51:470:51:49

I placed the order for all the rugs.

0:51:490:51:51

We were looking for, you know, a lot of colours.

0:51:510:51:52

So, we, unfortunately, didn't have a chance to tape those down.

0:51:520:51:54

Was this hard work? ALL: Very hard.

0:51:540:51:56

You worked hard? ALL: Very hard.

0:51:560:51:58

OK, good. See you later.

0:51:580:51:59

GENE: 'I'm not sure if I were able to gauge

0:51:590:52:02

'whether or not he liked our workspace or not.

0:52:020:52:05

'And I came here without a plan B.'

0:52:050:52:07

So it's a lot on the line for me right now.

0:52:070:52:09

I want to start by saying

0:52:400:52:42

I...have found this very difficult.

0:52:420:52:48

I didn't like either space very much.

0:52:480:52:50

With that being said,

0:52:530:52:55

I think I slightly liked one more than the other. Gene.

0:52:550:52:57

Yes, sir.

0:52:570:52:58

We almost lost one of our crew members

0:52:580:53:00

because you didn't have the carpets. That's dangerous stuff.

0:53:000:53:04

It is.

0:53:040:53:05

That's called litigation all over the place, right?

0:53:050:53:07

GENE: Absolutely.

0:53:070:53:08

I mean, in my office,

0:53:080:53:09

People don't fall down because the carpet isn't attached.

0:53:090:53:12

Right.

0:53:120:53:13

Who was responsible for the rugs?

0:53:130:53:15

I was, Mr Trump.

0:53:150:53:16

And you didn't have the brainpower to go and just, like,

0:53:160:53:18

you know, put some tape on there?

0:53:180:53:20

Put something on?

0:53:200:53:23

- Absolutely, Mr Trump. - Did you see the people fall?

0:53:230:53:24

I did, and I felt really bad about it.

0:53:240:53:26

- They were going down like flies. - They absolutely did.

0:53:260:53:28

- Right. Right. - I almost lost my crew.

0:53:280:53:30

Not what you want during a presentation.

0:53:300:53:32

ANAND: Absolutely not.

0:53:320:53:33

That is exactly not what we want to do in a presentation.

0:53:330:53:35

OK, so, David,

0:53:350:53:37

what did you think of Gene as project manager?

0:53:370:53:40

I was proud of Gene at the end of our task.

0:53:400:53:44

At the beginning?

0:53:440:53:46

At the beginning, I think we have

0:53:460:53:47

eight different personalities that are coming together

0:53:470:53:50

for the first time in a task.

0:53:500:53:52

I think Gene wanted to take charge of it right away,

0:53:520:53:56

and his orders were barked, but they were sporadic.

0:53:560:54:00

So, what did you really think of Gene?

0:54:000:54:03

By day two, I was very impressed.

0:54:030:54:07

I thought we ended it great.

0:54:070:54:09

I thought Gene was confident in our final product,

0:54:090:54:12

and I honestly can say that I liked it and I was proud of it.

0:54:120:54:17

STEUART: And, Mr Trump, I think, as a team, cohesively,

0:54:170:54:19

on the first day, we were a little mismatched.

0:54:190:54:21

The second day, we really pulled together as a team.

0:54:210:54:24

Gene, who was your weakest link?

0:54:240:54:27

Weakest link...

0:54:280:54:29

um, there was some conflict,

0:54:290:54:31

obviously, the first day. I was really...

0:54:310:54:33

Who was the weakest member of your team, in your opinion?

0:54:330:54:36

As far as adding chaos to the entire team?

0:54:360:54:39

Everything. Everything. No, not chaos. No imagination,

0:54:390:54:41

no brain, no nothing. Who was your weakest person?

0:54:410:54:44

Wow. No imagination?

0:54:440:54:47

Um...that's hard.

0:54:470:54:50

Um. Hmm.

0:54:500:54:51

Was he this indecisive during the task?

0:54:550:54:57

- I was not this indecisive. - This is something you should know.

0:54:570:54:59

I would think, by now, you would have thought about it.

0:54:590:55:01

It's really between David and James, actually,

0:55:010:55:04

and there's reasons for that.

0:55:040:55:06

David, obviously, is how David is.

0:55:060:55:08

As far as personality, added discord to the team.

0:55:080:55:10

I'm very decisive as far as that.

0:55:100:55:12

James, on the other hand, I had a feeling

0:55:120:55:13

about a sense of negativity and a subversive-type attitude

0:55:130:55:17

That - you know what? - I kind of like to see mine coming.

0:55:170:55:19

I don't like to be...

0:55:190:55:21

What do you think of that, James?

0:55:210:55:22

JAMES: I'm shocked to hear that, actually,

0:55:220:55:25

because I felt that I really made

0:55:250:55:26

some significant contributions to the team,

0:55:260:55:30

and any disagreement that I had with Gene,

0:55:300:55:32

or any disagreement with the direction, I was able to bring up.

0:55:320:55:36

You appeared as though you were the leader

0:55:360:55:38

when I came down to visit.

0:55:380:55:39

When you came down to visit, Gene wasn't there.

0:55:390:55:41

You took a very active role, a very assertive role.

0:55:410:55:43

and he very much stepped in for you, Gene,

0:55:430:55:45

so I'm very surprised to have heard you said that he contributed the least.

0:55:450:55:49

Gene, you said there was conflict on your team. Who?

0:55:490:55:52

Actually, between David and Clint.

0:55:520:55:54

There was a lot of conflict.

0:55:540:55:55

There was a lot of, I felt, distraction from the task at hand.

0:55:550:55:58

We had very little allotted time.

0:55:580:55:59

David, why was there conflict with you and Clint?

0:55:590:56:02

And Gene's actually going to end up

0:56:020:56:03

throwing himself under the bus for what he just said,

0:56:030:56:05

because the conflict, actually, is Gene's fault.

0:56:050:56:09

Gene gave me a task of picking out the plants and trees.

0:56:090:56:12

That's not exactly true, but, OK.

0:56:120:56:14

I was called away to another task, which was my audiovisual,

0:56:140:56:18

which I owned and completed successfully on all facets.

0:56:180:56:20

You did. You did.

0:56:200:56:22

Upon my return, I ask Clint what he's doing.

0:56:220:56:25

Clint said, "I'm calling the flower shop."

0:56:250:56:28

And I asked him to stop cos he was wasting time. It was my task.

0:56:280:56:32

So I grabbed the flower list from the table in front of Clint

0:56:320:56:35

and said, "I'm going to get these trees ordered. It's my job,"

0:56:350:56:38

and Clint did not like that at all.

0:56:380:56:40

Why not, Clint?

0:56:420:56:44

Well, I was left in charge, Mr Trump.

0:56:440:56:46

And if I'm in charge and a man charges me with a job to do,

0:56:460:56:49

- I'm going to get it done. - Do you not like David?

0:56:490:56:52

I don't think that's an accurate statement.

0:56:520:56:54

I have compassion on David.

0:56:540:56:55

TRUMP: Why compassion?

0:56:550:56:57

Well, gosh, the guy is going through hell right now in his life

0:56:570:56:59

and the situation with his wife.

0:56:590:57:00

You know, that's where the compassion comes from.

0:57:000:57:03

Compassion for what? That I'm here?

0:57:030:57:04

IVANKA: Do you feel that that was

0:57:040:57:07

an appropriate statement about almost pitying you?

0:57:070:57:09

You used the word compassion, but it sounded more like pity.

0:57:090:57:12

DAVID: He inserted that word.

0:57:120:57:14

I knew what he was, you know, meaning,

0:57:140:57:15

and it's one of these that...

0:57:150:57:18

it's a stigma that I have with me.

0:57:180:57:19

I don't want it because it's not true.

0:57:190:57:21

But you can get rid of that stigma. You know that, right?

0:57:210:57:24

I can, sir, and that's why I'm here.

0:57:240:57:25

All you have to do is be successful.

0:57:250:57:26

Yes, sir. Great advice, sir.

0:57:260:57:28

Clint, you're trying to get a job at the Trump Organisation.

0:57:280:57:31

You're the only one not wearing a tie.

0:57:310:57:33

Do you think...you know, I'm all for the informal dress code,

0:57:330:57:36

but do you think that's appropriate?

0:57:360:57:38

If y'all suggest to me it's appropriate

0:57:380:57:42

to go coat and tie or tuxedo, whatever, I'm there.

0:57:420:57:44

I want this job.

0:57:440:57:46

TRUMP: There was a time, four or five years ago,

0:57:460:57:49

when guys would walk into my office, Wall Street guys,

0:57:490:57:51

in shorts on Friday and a t-shirt.

0:57:510:57:53

Then Wall Street crashed, now they all wear ties again.

0:57:550:57:57

So I don't know. I just think ties are better. It's true.

0:57:570:58:00

I'm happy to do whatever it takes.

0:58:000:58:01

What do you think about ties, Nicole?

0:58:010:58:03

I think you always overdress.

0:58:030:58:05

My whole personal philosophy

0:58:050:58:06

is everything is about presentation

0:58:060:58:08

because you ARE your brand. You are what you're selling.

0:58:080:58:11

What did you think of your team?

0:58:110:58:14

First of all, I think all my women did an incredible, incredible job.

0:58:140:58:18

TRUMP: Well, they couldn't have done incredible,

0:58:180:58:20

cos I didn't think...look, I'm the judge, whether we like it or not,

0:58:200:58:23

and it wasn't great, OK?

0:58:230:58:25

It wasn't great, and I don't think you thought it was great.

0:58:250:58:28

I think it was great, given the space that we had and the time limitations.

0:58:280:58:32

Tyana, what did you think of Nicole as a leader?

0:58:340:58:36

I didn't think she led.

0:58:390:58:41

Why?

0:58:430:58:44

Um, she didn't delegate.

0:58:440:58:47

I didn't think she managed.

0:58:470:58:49

And I think she doesn't respect me.

0:58:490:58:50

And you didn't really love the office, either, right?

0:58:500:58:53

I actually loved the office, Mr Trump.

0:58:530:58:55

I personally think we did great,

0:58:550:58:57

because all our team, as a whole, are stronger than...

0:58:570:59:00

But you don't give a lot of the credit to Nicole?

0:59:000:59:02

I give it to these ladies.

0:59:020:59:04

Nicole, are you surprised

0:59:070:59:08

that she spoke up so negatively about you?

0:59:080:59:11

- I'm not surprised at all. - Why?

0:59:110:59:13

Because I know that she spoke poorly about me to Don

0:59:130:59:15

when he came to talk about our space.

0:59:150:59:18

Is that true, Don?

0:59:180:59:20

Yeah, there was definitely an element where she said,

0:59:200:59:22

again, the delegation aspect wasn't done.

0:59:220:59:24

She also really said that you were wishy-washy

0:59:240:59:26

in a lot of the decisions that you were making.

0:59:260:59:28

It was kind of, "Well, it can go either way," leave it to you.

0:59:280:59:30

I was trying to delegate there.

0:59:300:59:32

I don't see her as...I don't see her that way.

0:59:320:59:34

She is SO wishy-washy.

0:59:340:59:37

Mr Trump, every decision she was making was,

0:59:370:59:39

"What do you think? What does the team think?"

0:59:390:59:41

I didn't want it to be a dictatorship...

0:59:410:59:43

But you're the leader.

0:59:430:59:44

Yes, and I think I said it.

0:59:440:59:45

I said, "Listen, guys, this is my idea on colour schemes.

0:59:450:59:48

"Can we get behind it?" They did.

0:59:480:59:49

But I do think you should be able to delegate and say,

0:59:490:59:52

"I trust you with the paint colours.

0:59:520:59:54

"We decided on grey as our base. Go get it."

0:59:540:59:55

And I felt like some of them came back to me.

0:59:550:59:57

LIZA: You didn't even paint. Did you paint?

0:59:570:59:59

You're talking about yourself painting.

0:59:591:00:00

Nicole: Sorry if I misspoke.

1:00:001:00:02

I wasn't talking about the physical act of painting...

1:00:021:00:04

OK, so you weren't involved in painting.

1:00:041:00:06

What does that mean, Liza?

1:00:061:00:08

That means that, at the end of the day,

1:00:081:00:09

she left to go do whatever work she thought was important,

1:00:091:00:12

getting furniture, but she left us with not a point person

1:00:121:00:15

to tell us what was going on.

1:00:151:00:17

All right, Brandy, what did you think of Nicole?

1:00:191:00:22

I think that she is a leader,

1:00:221:00:25

but I think that, if pressed,

1:00:251:00:27

I would say that, ultimately, sub-delegation

1:00:271:00:30

would benefit the team better in the future.

1:00:301:00:32

Who was your best person on your team?

1:00:321:00:35

You know, honestly, Mr Trump,

1:00:351:00:36

every single one of the girls worked very hard.

1:00:361:00:39

We were all pretty tired and pretty sweaty by the end of the day, so...

1:00:391:00:42

Slutty?!

1:00:421:00:43

ALL: Sweaty!

1:00:431:00:45

LAUGHTER

1:00:451:00:47

- You said, "sweaty?" - I said, "sweaty!"

1:00:471:00:49

I thought you said "slutty."

1:00:491:00:52

Mahsa, what do you think?

1:00:531:00:55

I'm going to give it to you straight, Mr Trump.

1:00:551:00:58

I thought that Nicole would be one of the strongest contenders here.

1:00:581:01:01

That's ABSOLUTELY not the case.

1:01:011:01:03

She made three critical errors that I have to point out to you.

1:01:031:01:07

First, there's one designer on our team.

1:01:071:01:11

It's this girl right here.

1:01:111:01:12

She has previously designed loft space.

1:01:121:01:14

Were you impressed by Tyana?

1:01:141:01:16

Tyana was the most valuable player on this task for her,

1:01:161:01:19

so I don't really understand why she's so disloyal

1:01:191:01:22

and throw her under the bus like that.

1:01:221:01:24

And yet, we don't like her design.

1:01:241:01:25

I don't think I threw Tyana under the bus.

1:01:251:01:26

Actually, Tyana threw HER under the bus.

1:01:261:01:28

Actually, Nicole, when she first met with Don Jr,

1:01:281:01:30

said Tyana was the weakest member,

1:01:301:01:32

so I believe that Nicole first threw Tyana under the bus.

1:01:321:01:34

But can I just finish, Mr Trump?

1:01:341:01:36

You'll have your say, Nicole.

1:01:361:01:37

Let me finish, Mr Trump. I'm sorry.

1:01:371:01:39

TRUMP: This is a district attorney over here, so we have to listen.

1:01:391:01:42

I'm trying to be respectful.

1:01:421:01:44

MAHSA: So THE most critical part of the entire task

1:01:441:01:48

was that three-hour time period when the artist was coming,

1:01:481:01:51

and if I were the project manager,

1:01:511:01:53

I would have had our designer sitting in on that meeting.

1:01:531:01:56

Instead, she was getting sandwiches and supplies with me and Brandy.

1:01:561:02:00

That's a critical mistake. NICOLE: Can I speak on that?

1:02:001:02:02

No, you can't until I'm finished.

1:02:021:02:03

Can I finish, Mr Trump?

1:02:031:02:05

All right, real quick.

1:02:051:02:06

You say that great leaders should have a plan B.

1:02:061:02:08

She didn't even have a plan A.

1:02:081:02:09

- In fact, I... - OK, thank you.

1:02:091:02:12

You have a lot to say, don't you?

1:02:151:02:16

Mr Trump, she was awful!

1:02:161:02:18

Are you a little surprised

1:02:181:02:19

the team is being a little bit vicious toward you so early,

1:02:191:02:21

and you don't even know if you lost?

1:02:211:02:23

I am a little surprised.

1:02:231:02:25

As far as delegation, I think I did delegate,

1:02:251:02:28

but I got...I kept passing off the ball, saying,

1:02:281:02:30

"OK, you guys handle the paint,"

1:02:301:02:32

and then I felt like it got passed back to me.

1:02:321:02:34

I think that this is a total misrepresentation of what happened.

1:02:341:02:39

TRUMP: OK.

1:02:391:02:41

Let's take a look on the screen at your office.

1:02:411:02:43

- Men first. - Sure.

1:02:431:02:45

TRUMP: Maybe that's not so bad. How do you feel about that?

1:02:491:02:52

THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

1:02:521:02:53

POPPY: I hope that's not the conference room, though.

1:02:531:02:55

STEPHANIE: I don't like that.

1:02:551:02:57

It's way too colourful. It looks like a kids' playroom.

1:02:571:03:00

Well, it's SoHo.

1:03:001:03:01

It is actually SoHo. It's supposed to be a little bit hip.

1:03:011:03:03

Yeah, it's urban hip, funky.

1:03:031:03:05

Let me see the men's boardroom, please.

1:03:051:03:08

Hmm. It's a lot of activity.

1:03:081:03:11

TYANA: Yeah, and those aren't conference chairs, either.

1:03:111:03:14

Those ARE chairs that one normally has at a conference table.

1:03:141:03:16

I agree.

1:03:161:03:18

TRUMP: But your table is so small, Gene.

1:03:181:03:20

It's just so small and so weak.

1:03:201:03:23

Who liked it? Somebody said they liked it.

1:03:231:03:25

- I stood up for it. - Why?

1:03:251:03:27

We weren't going for a boardroom feel.

1:03:271:03:29

We were going for more of an open conference area

1:03:291:03:32

where people could come together

1:03:321:03:33

and wouldn't be as formal as a boardroom.

1:03:331:03:35

But you could only seat six people at the table.

1:03:351:03:37

That's not really an open conference area

1:03:371:03:39

if you can only seat six people at a table.

1:03:391:03:41

I've never seen a meeting with less than six people.

1:03:411:03:43

Well, we also had the breakout space,

1:03:431:03:45

which had seating for nine and standing room.

1:03:451:03:47

We tried to incorporate multiple interactive spaces.

1:03:471:03:52

All right, I want to see the women's office.

1:03:541:03:57

DON: Nicole, who's the guy behind the desk in the picture?

1:03:591:04:01

LAUGHTER

1:04:011:04:04

TYANA: We like to call him Uncle Forti!

1:04:041:04:06

You can ask Tyana about that one.

1:04:061:04:08

We knew we needed a piece of art there...

1:04:081:04:09

But, Tyana, was that your picture?

1:04:091:04:11

Right. Mahsa and I were looking for a picture.

1:04:111:04:14

I know, but how did you pick a guy...

1:04:141:04:15

I don't know who this poor guy is, but he had no relevance to anything.

1:04:151:04:19

Well, we needed artwork, and so...

1:04:191:04:21

But given the contemporary workspace you were told to build,

1:04:211:04:25

that looks like a 200-year-old law firm.

1:04:251:04:26

The original founding partner looking over your desk.

1:04:261:04:29

I mean, that doesn't feel modern to me.

1:04:291:04:31

TYANA: We just needed artwork up there,

1:04:311:04:32

and it had to match the style of that room.

1:04:321:04:34

TRUMP: All right, let's see the next one.

1:04:341:04:36

Well, that's all right. That's not so bad.

1:04:361:04:40

Do you think that's a little bit more of a reception area than yours, Gene?

1:04:401:04:43

I'll give it credit for being a bit...yeah, the desk.

1:04:431:04:46

I'll give it credit for being a little bit more of a reception area.

1:04:461:04:48

TRUMP: I'm not in love with that desk, by the way.

1:04:481:04:50

I do like the fact that you walk in and there's...

1:04:501:04:52

there's something. GENE: It's definitive.

1:04:521:04:56

All right, I want to see the women's boardroom, please.

1:04:561:04:59

That's almost boring.

1:05:011:05:03

I don't love the chairs.

1:05:031:05:05

I don't love the colour of the wood.

1:05:051:05:08

I do like the fact that

1:05:081:05:09

there's a television right smack in your view.

1:05:091:05:12

That's a great thing, very much like we're looking at right now.

1:05:121:05:14

I mean, you turn to the right, and you have a television.

1:05:141:05:16

Mm-hmm.

1:05:161:05:18

But I don't love either boardroom.

1:05:201:05:23

And, in fact, I didn't love either space, OK?

1:05:231:05:25

What can I tell you? What can I tell you?

1:05:251:05:27

Ivanka, what do you think?

1:05:271:05:31

I preferred the men's whole setup.

1:05:311:05:32

I liked the fact that it was open-plan.

1:05:321:05:34

I think, given the size of the space and the lack of room,

1:05:341:05:37

having the rooms closed off is constrictive,

1:05:371:05:41

and it really just closes in the space.

1:05:411:05:44

I like the colour.

1:05:441:05:45

I like the lightness. I far preferred it.

1:05:451:05:47

- Don? - Well, I tend to agree.

1:05:471:05:50

They were given the assignment of a modern workspace,

1:05:501:05:52

and you definitely did that.

1:05:521:05:53

If I wanted to work at a 200-year-old law firm,

1:05:531:05:55

the ladies' was definitely the way to go.

1:05:551:05:57

But people today, you know, they congregate.

1:05:571:05:59

They get together. I mean, people work collectively.

1:05:591:06:02

And in a small space in SoHo in downtown New York,

1:06:021:06:04

I think that was the way to go.

1:06:041:06:06

Thank you.

1:06:061:06:08

Well, look.

1:06:101:06:12

I don't love either.

1:06:121:06:15

I don't love either.

1:06:151:06:17

But in this case,

1:06:171:06:19

I have to tell you I agree with Don and Ivanka.

1:06:191:06:22

So I'm giving this victory to the men.

1:06:221:06:25

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

1:06:251:06:28

Thank you, guys.

1:06:281:06:30

TRUMP: I like their space better. I like the openness.

1:06:301:06:33

I like the work they did with the art,

1:06:331:06:36

And I think that was done by James, right, James?

1:06:361:06:38

Yep. All original. All original.

1:06:381:06:40

James has some latent talent!

1:06:401:06:42

So, congratulations.

1:06:421:06:43

And this season on The Apprentice,

1:06:431:06:45

when you win as project manager,

1:06:451:06:46

you're going to meet with top CEOs and business leaders.

1:06:461:06:51

And, Gene, you're going to meet one of the best of them all.

1:06:511:06:54

You know who that is? Me.

1:06:541:06:56

- And we're going to have some fun. - Yes, sir.

1:06:561:06:58

You're going to love being the winning project manager.

1:06:581:07:01

Go back to your room right now.

1:07:011:07:03

You can watch, if you want, these people go through hell.

1:07:031:07:07

We wouldn't miss it!

1:07:071:07:09

Have a good time. Congratulations.

1:07:091:07:10

Good job, guys.

1:07:101:07:12

STEUART: Best of luck, girls.

1:07:121:07:14

Good job.

1:07:141:07:16

Women, you're going to stay here.

1:07:211:07:22

Somebody will be fired.

1:07:221:07:24

Ladies, I just didn't like your work.

1:07:351:07:38

I liked aspects of the men's work.

1:07:381:07:40

I'm not a big fan of what they did.

1:07:401:07:42

I just thought it was sort of a cooler office.

1:07:421:07:45

IVANKA: It was modern, and that was the mandate of this task.

1:07:451:07:48

Mm-hmm.

1:07:481:07:50

Why did you lose, Tyana?

1:07:501:07:52

Lack of leadership.

1:07:521:07:53

That's tough. It's a tough statement.

1:07:561:07:59

I think she leads maybe in a different way,

1:07:591:08:01

but I think a good leader.

1:08:011:08:03

I love the way she greeted me.

1:08:031:08:05

I love the way she took me around.

1:08:051:08:06

There's nothing bad about that kind of leadership.

1:08:061:08:10

Liza, why'd you lose?

1:08:121:08:14

Ultimately, the goal was to create something

1:08:141:08:15

that you walked in and you felt it was a modern workspace,

1:08:151:08:18

and so we would have to say that it was part of the creative.

1:08:181:08:20

Part of the people who picked the colour scheme.

1:08:201:08:22

IVANKA: Who was in charge of design?

1:08:221:08:24

For me, when I hear that the mandate

1:08:241:08:26

is to design a modern office space,

1:08:261:08:29

I wouldn't choose leather wingback chairs.

1:08:291:08:32

I would say Nicole.

1:08:351:08:37

IVANKA: Would you agree with that, Nicole?

1:08:371:08:39

I would say it was a joint effort between myself and Tyana.

1:08:391:08:42

And I think that that's true because I wanted to use Tyana...

1:08:421:08:45

Is that true, Tyana?

1:08:451:08:47

Um, I think we split.

1:08:471:08:49

I would say yes...

1:08:491:08:51

Do you think you should be fired for that?

1:08:511:08:52

Absolutely not, because the most modern aspects,

1:08:521:08:55

like the reception area, I chose.

1:08:551:08:58

Brandy, who should I fire?

1:08:581:09:01

I understand that it's a difficult choice,

1:09:011:09:02

but, you know, Nicole took a very large risk

1:09:021:09:05

and would certainly be revelling in the joy of a victory,

1:09:051:09:07

and as such, she should be willing and understand

1:09:071:09:09

when she has to accept responsibility for a loss.

1:09:091:09:11

And in what way did she take a risk, other than working with you killers?

1:09:111:09:14

You are killers. You are brutal.

1:09:141:09:17

GENE: They ARE brutal. Wow!

1:09:171:09:19

CLINT: They didn't even know they had lost

1:09:191:09:21

before they started ripping each other's hair out.

1:09:211:09:23

In what way did she take a risk?

1:09:231:09:25

BRANDY: Volunteering to be the project manager.

1:09:251:09:29

- Did you volunteer? - I did.

1:09:291:09:30

Could have been a mistake, right?

1:09:301:09:33

It could have.

1:09:331:09:34

Brandy, how about just generally

1:09:341:09:36

not supporting one's boss and leader?

1:09:361:09:39

I mean, Mahsa was BRUTAL!

1:09:391:09:40

I mean, you were so excited to speak and to yell...

1:09:401:09:42

It's the truth.

1:09:421:09:44

..I was shocked!

1:09:441:09:46

I am too.

1:09:461:09:48

You didn't know you had lost!

1:09:481:09:49

Because it would be an injustice

1:09:491:09:52

if anyone was fired here except her.

1:09:521:09:54

She didn't tell us what was going on.

1:09:541:09:56

Everything that she did was by consensus.

1:09:561:10:00

"What do you guys think? Do you think we should do this?"

1:10:001:10:03

And I pushed her.

1:10:031:10:04

Did I not push you? Did I...let me finish.

1:10:041:10:07

I pushed her, and I said...I said to her...

1:10:071:10:11

Oh, I just lost my train of thought...

1:10:111:10:12

That's enough. You lost your train of thought.

1:10:121:10:15

Poppy.

1:10:151:10:17

Who should I fire?

1:10:171:10:20

If you're going on leadership,

1:10:201:10:22

which is the job of the PM, it should be Nicole.

1:10:221:10:24

I know you think she's a great leader...

1:10:241:10:26

OK, and as a second choice, What else am I supposed to go on?

1:10:261:10:29

As a second choice, do you have somebody else in mind?

1:10:291:10:32

Do you have somebody in mind that did a bad job, other than Nicole?

1:10:321:10:34

No.

1:10:341:10:36

Wow! She's just...oh!

1:10:361:10:39

It seems like they've all decided,

1:10:391:10:41

"This is who we're going to gang up against."

1:10:411:10:43

ALEX: There goes the knives! Thunk, thunk!

1:10:431:10:45

TRUMP: Liza?

1:10:451:10:47

I think, ultimately, Nicole is to blame for our loss.

1:10:471:10:49

Nicole, let me ask you this question.

1:10:511:10:53

if you were to bring two people

1:10:531:10:54

back to the boardroom, who would it be?

1:10:541:10:56

I think I would bring back Mahsa and Tyana.

1:10:591:11:02

Why Tyana?

1:11:021:11:04

I picked Tyana purely from the professional standpoint

1:11:041:11:06

because one of your main problems and concerns,

1:11:061:11:09

all three of you, was the furnishings,

1:11:091:11:11

and Tyana played an integral role at the prop store

1:11:111:11:13

and at the CORT Furniture.

1:11:131:11:15

And why Mahsa?

1:11:161:11:18

Mahsa because she did play an integral role

1:11:181:11:20

when we went to the prop store,

1:11:201:11:23

and I think that she hopped in right away

1:11:231:11:25

before it had been announced that we had lost,

1:11:251:11:27

And I think that that's a weakness with your team.

1:11:271:11:29

Mr Trump, can I respond?

1:11:291:11:30

Yes.

1:11:301:11:32

Nicole didn't tell us what to do. She said nothing.

1:11:321:11:34

I am the one that said, "Let's go to the paint store."

1:11:341:11:36

I worked like a dog until the second...

1:11:361:11:39

and every single person is going to back me up on this.

1:11:391:11:42

I did the windows. I scraped paint off them...

1:11:421:11:45

TRUMP: Is that true? Is that true?

1:11:451:11:47

ALL: Yes.

1:11:471:11:49

TRUMP: That's true, Liza?

1:11:491:11:51

OK, that's enough.

1:11:511:11:53

Liza: She's talking about painting. She didn't paint.

1:11:531:11:56

TRUMP: Who didn't paint? LIZA: Nicole.

1:11:561:11:57

She didn't do anything!

1:11:571:11:58

She was the project manager. She's supposed to lead.

1:11:581:12:00

I was going and buying things...

1:12:001:12:03

We all had to work.

1:12:031:12:04

Nicole, you're being very respectful,

1:12:041:12:06

but these guys are killing you, and you're not stepping in.

1:12:061:12:08

I'd like to defend myself...

1:12:081:12:09

Is this the wishy-washy that you spoke about yesterday?

1:12:091:12:12

Yes, even with Mahsa going to the prop store.

1:12:121:12:14

If these guys were going after me, right or wrong, I'd be fighting back.

1:12:141:12:17

Mahsa said, "I want to go," and she's like, "Do you want to go or stay?"

1:12:171:12:21

She's like, "well, what do you want me to do?"

1:12:211:12:22

I said, "you're the leader."

1:12:221:12:24

Your silence is encouraging them.

1:12:241:12:26

I want to talk.

1:12:261:12:27

I said, "You are the leader. Make a decision." TYANA: And she did not.

1:12:271:12:30

Why are you now deciding to bring me back into the boardroom? How dare you?!

1:12:301:12:32

I am one of the strongest members of this team.

1:12:321:12:34

I worked my butt off. NICOLE: Mm-hmm.

1:12:341:12:36

You just made a mistake, honey, Bringing me back into the boardroom.

1:12:361:12:39

NICOLE: I would like to speak now.

1:12:391:12:40

Nobody should be fired except you. You deserve it.

1:12:401:12:44

NICOLE: I think you've had your turn. And now it's my turn to speak.

1:12:441:12:46

Go for it.

1:12:461:12:48

MAHSA: And tell the truth.

1:12:481:12:49

ANAND: She's scary. ALEX: Wow.

1:12:491:12:51

Nicole needs to defend herself.

1:12:511:12:53

She's laying down.

1:12:531:12:54

GENE: Yeah, she's laying down.

1:12:541:12:56

I am perfectly happy to defend myself and the decisions that I made,

1:12:561:12:59

but I will not get in a yelling match over her

1:12:591:13:01

when I think that her claims are unfounded.

1:13:011:13:03

I would like to make my point, and my point is I never...

1:13:031:13:06

Do you see what she does?

1:13:061:13:08

She takes the focus off of what I actually talked about

1:13:081:13:10

And doesn't rebut my argument.

1:13:101:13:12

Yeah, but a lot of people agree with her.

1:13:121:13:14

NICOLE: Did I ever say anything that she didn't do the work? No.

1:13:141:13:16

All right, you will have your chance to make your point, OK?

1:13:161:13:21

Mahsa, Tyana, you're coming back to the boardroom.

1:13:211:13:24

The rest of you, go. You got lucky.

1:13:241:13:27

Go outside, please. You'll come right back.

1:13:271:13:30

All right, men, turn off your television.

1:13:361:13:38

That's enough. You've seen plenty.

1:13:381:13:41

They were not that unified as we thought.

1:13:411:13:43

I was praying for something like this.

1:13:431:13:45

You know, it's... Mahsa's...you almost want to...

1:13:471:13:49

She's a district attorney in Brooklyn.

1:13:491:13:51

You almost want to fire her for being so unprofess...

1:13:511:13:54

She's so... her voice and yelling.

1:13:541:13:56

MAHSA: I don't know why she brought me back in -

1:13:561:13:59

the hardest-working person.

1:13:591:14:00

Every single girl up there had my back. That was a mistake.

1:14:001:14:03

Not one person backed her.

1:14:031:14:05

We have to point out every single person backed us

1:14:241:14:27

and not one person backed her

1:14:271:14:30

and both of us were gone during the designing process,

1:14:301:14:33

which is why we failed.

1:14:331:14:34

That's right. That's right.

1:14:341:14:35

But don't get too crazy,

1:14:351:14:37

cos Ivanka was calling you out for being so aggressive.

1:14:371:14:39

OK, fine.

1:14:391:14:40

Ivanka, what do you think?

1:14:421:14:44

I think Nicole is the obvious choice.

1:14:441:14:46

With that said, I think Mahsa has a terrible attitude.

1:14:461:14:49

Don?

1:14:491:14:51

I think Nicole really isn't taking the fight back to the people who are attacking her.

1:14:511:14:54

I mean, that, to me, is a sign of weakness.

1:14:541:14:56

She is the PM. She took the risk. It doesn't look like she pulled it off.

1:14:561:14:59

'Amanda, bring them in.'

1:14:591:15:01

Ladies, you can head back in. Mr Trump is ready for you.

1:15:011:15:04

TRUMP: Sit down, please.

1:15:131:15:16

MAHSA: Mr Trump, I don't understand why I'm in here.

1:15:211:15:23

We lost this task because of design.

1:15:231:15:25

But for an hour and a half,

1:15:251:15:27

I was in charge of manual labour.

1:15:271:15:30

And the only reason I left to go to the prop store

1:15:301:15:33

is that we had finished with all the manual labour.

1:15:331:15:35

So my first question is, why am I in here?

1:15:351:15:37

Mr Trump, you want to see the bulldog?

1:15:371:15:40

You want to see it? Here's the bulldog. If you attack me...

1:15:401:15:43

- We haven't seen it so far. - And let me tell you something...

1:15:431:15:46

- You know that, right? - I waited for the right time.

1:15:461:15:48

These two came out as my attackers, now I'm going for the jugular.

1:15:481:15:51

And your instinct - you have a killer instinct.

1:15:511:15:54

Your instinct is that I'm a good leader,

1:15:541:15:56

And the way that I lead is by collaboration, by delegation,

1:15:561:16:00

and unfortunately, Mahsa, in particular,

1:16:001:16:03

didn't want to take the delegation that I gave her.

1:16:031:16:05

She was the one that... I kept giving her the ball to run with it,

1:16:051:16:07

and she would hand it back to me and be like,

1:16:071:16:09

"No, what do you think? You're the project manager."

1:16:091:16:11

I kept trying to delegate it to her, And she didn't want to accept it.

1:16:111:16:14

But why is it that every member of your team threw you under the bus?

1:16:141:16:18

Exactly.

1:16:181:16:19

Many of them said I should take the blame because I'm project manager

1:16:191:16:23

because that's the default answer - I am the project manager.

1:16:231:16:26

Tyana, your main problem was with furniture.

1:16:261:16:28

Let me respond.

1:16:281:16:29

Tyana was the principal one with furniture that was responsible. TRUMP: No, hold it.

1:16:291:16:33

Why would I fire Tyana?

1:16:331:16:34

Tyana you would fire because she was principally responsible

1:16:341:16:37

because she said she had experience in staging,

1:16:371:16:40

so she picked stuff at the prop store and at CORT Furniture.

1:16:401:16:43

She picked the boring board table.

1:16:431:16:45

I said that I wasn't thrilled with it because I thought it was boring.

1:16:451:16:47

Tyana, is that true?

1:16:471:16:49

No, both of us agreed on that cos there was nothing else

1:16:491:16:51

and we had 45 minutes to make a decision and pick everything.

1:16:511:16:54

Time management, which comes back to project manager.

1:16:541:16:58

And every idea I threw out,

1:16:581:17:00

which were the exact ones you came back, were ignored.

1:17:001:17:03

That was why I decided to go,

1:17:031:17:05

"Well, if I'm not going to be utilised here,

1:17:051:17:07

"I'm going to go and make sure we get the right paint colour,"

1:17:071:17:09

which is why I left.

1:17:091:17:10

When I came back, everything had been designed.

1:17:101:17:13

I had no idea what was going on.

1:17:131:17:15

The layout had been designed, Mr Trump.

1:17:151:17:17

And I thought she was staying.

1:17:171:17:19

And then, when she was staying, she said, "I think I should do the colour."

1:17:191:17:22

I never said, "I think I should do the colour."

1:17:221:17:24

- She did. - I said, "Do you want me to stay?"

1:17:241:17:26

And I said, "Go where you think you will be best used

1:17:261:17:29

"because you know your strengths better than I do,"

1:17:291:17:31

and she decided to go with colour. TYANA: No.

1:17:311:17:33

Also, I think this points out that neither of these two are a team player,

1:17:331:17:36

and that's why one of them should be fired.

1:17:361:17:38

Every single person has my back in there, and she is a liar. She said she delegated.

1:17:381:17:42

The bottom line is... - Not one person said she delegated.

1:17:421:17:44

How is she going to be part of the Trump Organisation?

1:17:441:17:49

- It's about teamwork. - First-class products...

1:17:491:17:51

The whole team worked without direction!

1:17:511:17:54

You had nothing to do with the team.

1:17:541:17:57

You didn't make any creative choices. You didn't help with manual labour.

1:17:571:17:59

I think you are a bit of a polarizing personality.

1:17:591:18:02

I think you put yourself here

1:18:021:18:03

because of your sort of abrasive style.

1:18:031:18:06

Maybe that just is who you are.

1:18:061:18:08

What I can't reconcile, though, Nicole,

1:18:081:18:10

as strong as you seem here right now, when you start to fight back,

1:18:101:18:14

why does everyone say that you are not a good leader?

1:18:141:18:17

- Because my leadership style... - What did you do wrong?

1:18:171:18:21

I think what I did wrong is I was not bossy,

1:18:211:18:23

And the reason I wasn't bossy is because, having worked with women,

1:18:231:18:26

I feel like women tend to rebel against bossy,

1:18:261:18:28

so I tried to make sure everyone felt a part of it,

1:18:281:18:31

and that was my mistake.

1:18:311:18:33

I should have said, "You're doing this."

1:18:331:18:34

- Yes. You should have. - Instead of saying...

1:18:341:18:36

You're the project manager.

1:18:361:18:37

"What do you think you would be best with?" Because I trust that.

1:18:371:18:40

I should not have trusted them in that way.

1:18:401:18:42

- But let me tell you... - That's...

1:18:421:18:44

All right, OK, OK, OK. Mahsa, let me ask you this.

1:18:441:18:46

What would you say if I fired Tyana? How would you feel about that?

1:18:461:18:50

I'm an assistant district attorney, and it would be a terrible injustice.

1:18:501:18:54

- That's what I would say. - Why? Why?

1:18:541:18:57

Because she could never be your leader,

1:18:571:19:00

and this one worked her butt off.

1:19:001:19:03

She had sweat dripping off her. She got on the floor.

1:19:031:19:06

She did everything. Why would you fire her?

1:19:061:19:08

- I got on the floor, and I cleaned. - Do you dislike Nicole?

1:19:081:19:10

- No-one likes Nicole, Mr Trump. - Why would they not like her?

1:19:101:19:12

- Because, Mr Trump... - News to me.

1:19:121:19:14

I think she's a very nice person. What do I know?

1:19:141:19:16

And everyone thought the Titanic was nice until it went out and sank.

1:19:161:19:18

She's a beauty queen. She knows how to present herself.

1:19:181:19:20

I'm a good person.

1:19:201:19:22

It's not that she's not nice. It's that she didn't make any decisions.

1:19:221:19:24

It wasn't personal.

1:19:241:19:26

Ivanka, can I justify why Mahsa's here? Because I know that's one of your main concerns.

1:19:261:19:30

TRUMP: Why did you bring in Mahsa?

1:19:301:19:32

She's tough, and you know she's going to kill you.

1:19:321:19:33

NICOLE: Can I tell you?

1:19:331:19:35

Why wouldn't you have brought in one of the softer, nicer, gentler women?

1:19:351:19:38

You brought this woman that just is killing you.

1:19:381:19:41

I brought in Mahsa

1:19:411:19:42

because she's disloyal and she's not a team player.

1:19:421:19:45

- She was ready to sell our team out. - That's not true.

1:19:451:19:48

Should I fire Mahsa?

1:19:481:19:50

You should fire Tyana.

1:19:501:19:51

You should fire...

1:19:511:19:53

But, Nicole, wait. When you spoke to me yesterday, you said that,

1:19:531:19:56

day one, Tyana was your biggest liability.

1:19:561:19:58

On day two, she was your most valuable player.

1:19:581:20:01

Thank you. DON: You said that to me,

1:20:011:20:03

- and that was a half an hour... - And that's why she should be fired.

1:20:031:20:06

Did you say that to Don, that she was MVP?

1:20:061:20:08

I did say the first day I was incredibly disappointed.

1:20:081:20:11

TRUMP: She was most valuable player?

1:20:111:20:12

For the furniture and picking out the stuff we did on the second day.

1:20:121:20:15

Well, that's a big thing, right?

1:20:151:20:17

And that's what you didn't like. TRUMP: Do you think she's great now?

1:20:171:20:19

No. I... My first... What's funny...

1:20:191:20:21

Why did you tell Don that she was your most valuable player?

1:20:211:20:26

Because, at that point, she was the one that was working on the creative

1:20:261:20:29

- and on pulling it together with... - And the labour... I did...

1:20:291:20:32

We all did labour.

1:20:321:20:33

You liked the furniture, so you can't now disown responsibility for the decision.

1:20:331:20:37

MAHSA: Right. TYANA: And she did half of it.

1:20:371:20:39

- No, but I can tell you... - We did it together.

1:20:391:20:41

I'm disowning some of the responsibility on the furniture

1:20:411:20:43

because the pieces that you didn't like are the pieces Tyana picked.

1:20:431:20:47

I hated the painting of Uncle Forti, and it was actually these two...

1:20:471:20:50

Well, then, it shouldn't have been there.

1:20:501:20:52

- Why didn't you overrule that? - She didn't make any decisions.

1:20:521:20:55

We hadn't decided it was going to be used...

1:20:551:20:58

OK, you hated the painting. I hated the painting, also.

1:20:581:21:00

And in this case, you were the project manager and you lost,

1:21:001:21:02

- And I didn't like what you did. - I know.

1:21:021:21:05

Nicole, you're fired.

1:21:051:21:07

Go. Go. Everyone, go.

1:21:121:21:14

MAHSA: Thank you, Mr Trump. TYANA: Thank you, Mr Trump.

1:21:141:21:16

You were the project manager. You lost. Sorry.

1:21:161:21:19

NICOLE: Thank you for the opportunity.

1:21:191:21:20

TRUMP: OK, thank you very much.

1:21:201:21:23

Thank you.

1:21:351:21:36

She's very nice, but I had no choice.

1:21:381:21:40

It's tough. The rest of the team didn't respect her, and they said she couldn't lead.

1:21:401:21:44

She took a gamble, and it didn't work out. It happens.

1:21:441:21:46

Well, I think Nicole is a good person. I think she's a leader.

1:21:461:21:50

And I'm going to set her up for an interview

1:21:501:21:52

at the Miss Universe pageant.

1:21:521:21:53

It's been a dream of mine
