[Trump]
Previously on The Apprentice.

Troyand Kwame hada bond
thatjust couldn't be broken.

[ Troy]
Kwame and I have developed
a great relationship.

I 've been through the woods
with Kwame, and I 'm always
gonna be his friend.

[ Trump ]
For their 12th task,

the teams had to rent out
a luxury,penthouse
for one evening.

This is Trump World Tower.
The team that rents it out...

for the most moneytoday wins.

[ Trump ]
With Troyas their closer,
Protege had their doubts.

38,500 makes it yours.
[Bill] Troy's technique
was to steamroll 'em,

creating false urgency
on the deal.

I think I'm being hustled.
I'm gonna have to pass.

[ Trump ]
At the last minute,
Versacorp received an offier.

I really thought
even getting a deal was
gonna be impossible.

J ob wel I done, buddy.

And Versacorp's lease
was enough to beat Protege.

For Versacorp,
we have a lease agreement
for $40,000.

For their reward, Nick andAmy
enjoyed a romantic getaway...

and werejoined by
some very, unexpected guests.

Amystartedscreaming
for some reason.
I have no idea.

I didn't know it was her sister.
And then my dad comes in second.
I mean, it was crazy.

You do look cute together.
You do!

[ Trump ]
Troy brought Kwame
into the boardroom--

Givin' it all.
It's been real, man.

where the two friends
were forced to say good-bye.

So it comes down
to Kwame,

who has been chosen
as project manager three times...

but never really led.

And Troy, there 's no question
in my mind...

that you are a loose cannon,

and I have to say
you're fired.

[ Trump ]
Four candidates are left.
Who will be fired this week?

* So you wanna be the next big thing*

* Na, na, na, na, na
So you wanna be the next big thing*

* You wanna be a spotlight
Ah, you wanna be *

* They'll put you on the front page
Wanna see the bright lights *

* Na, na, na, na, na **

[ Bill]
Uh, it was just very,, uh--
There he is.

Everything I do from now on
is dedicated to Troy.

Why? What happened?
What happened?
No, I mean--

I t was mano a mano.
I mean, respect.

I didn't want to see him go;
he didn't want to see me go.

Very tough in there.

Very tough.
Welcome back.

[Kwame]
At thispoint,
I'm doingit for Troy.

That's myboy. Andeven though
I've onlyknown him
fora short amount oftime,

I know that there's
a true friendship there.

I wanted to go into
this final competition...

versus him, not without him.

So--

So that's it.

Final four.

[Phone Ringing]

[Ringing]

[ Ringing ]

- Hello?
- Hi, it's Robin
from Mr. Trump's office.

He wants you to meet him
at the Esquire Suite...

in Trump World Tower
at 9:00 a.m.

Okay. Thankyou.

[ Bill ] No matterwhat happens,
we made it down to thewire,
you know? This is it.

[ Knocking ]
[Trump]
Come in.

- Good morning.
- Welcome to the Esquire Suite
atTrumpWorld Tower.

This is asuite
that was designedandbuilt...

by Esquire magazine,
andit is trulyspectacular.

Ifyou reallyturn out
to be a success,

someday you'll live
in a place like this.

Amy, Nick, Bill, Kwame,

you're the final four,
so you should be
very,proud ofyourselves.

You've done an amazingjob.

You've met George.
You've met Carolyn.

Nowyou're gonna meet
four more people
that work for me--

Norma Foerderer,
who's my executive assistant;

Allen Weisselberg,
my chieffinancial offiicer;

Charlie Reiss, who does
a terrific job in acquisitions;

and Tom Downing, who 's the head
of Trump International Hotel and Tower.

During the day,
you're gonna be interviewed...

by these four people.

They're gonna come back to me
with recommendations.

At the end ofthis day,
two ofyou are gonna be fired.
You're gone.

We're gonna be left with two people,
so you'd better do a good job
with your interviews.

These are four
ofmymost trustedadvisors.

Together, theyhave
a combinedservice ofover 75 years,

and they've helped me create
a multibillion-dollar empire.

Their recommendations
will be critical to my final decision,

because, ultimately,
you'll be working with them.

Have fun. Go ahead out.

[ Nick ]
I'm happy it's gotten down to this,
and it's no lemonade stands anymore.

I mean, this is what it's all about--
Can you hang and bang...

with the heavy hitters
in the Trump organization?

Can you sell them on
why they should basically hireyou?

Hello. How areyou?
[Man]
Hi, there. Come on in.

Good. Nice to meetyou.
Kwame.
Hi, Kwame. Howareyou?

All right.
Have a seat.

I've heardit
through the grapevine...

that sometimes your energy level
isn't always where it should be.

Doyou feel that way?
No, I feel like I wear
my energy different than others.

It'sjust a style diffierence.
I'm not-- I'm not outwardly--
You know.

You've been around Donald
for 1 2 weeks now. If he is
an energy level-type person,

then wouldn't he perceive you
as being somebodywho's not
out there pushing hard?

Amy, you're pretty familiar
with the organization right now.

And I'dlike to hearyour description
ofthe organization.

I've read quite a bit on Mr. Trump,
and I think the value I can bring is--

Nope. I didn't ask you about
the value. I just want to know about
how you feel the organization works.

I think people that can be
a devil's advocate...

andsay, "Charlie, I think that's
a bad idea, and here's why"--

How would you know it's a bad idea?
Do you have a sense
of construction?

Not from-- No, I don't have a sense
of construction, but I think--

What are you gonna do
when you're managing
a construction schedule,

and some grizzly, old contractor...

justsays, "Lady,you don't know
whatyou're talking about"?

Sometimes I'm never satisfied.

Some people will view this
as a positive, but it can be a curse.

I disagree with you,
because I think that's a strength.

You do?
Ifyou're neversatisfied,

then that means
you're always striving for more.

And there's always something
out there that's better.

But I still don't think
you've told me a real weakness.
Okay.

- That's one, but-- No.
- That's not a weakness.

I'm well spoken, I'm smart,

and I have an effect
on people that's positive.

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

What's gonna make me want to say,
"Hey, this is the guyl want to work with"?

You have to perform, and they were
firing some tough questions at us,

and I don't know
if everybody can handle it.

What do you do on day one?
Introduce myself...

and present a vision
for the organization.

And you'll be able to do that
on day one, without even knowing
the first thing about this entity?

You know, obviously, you've been getting by
on your instincts. You're sure as hell
not getting by on your education.

Whoa. My education--
I mean, I'm proud of my education.

Would you have a problem
hiring women yourself?
No, not at all.

I got myjob to do. I got no time
to teach you anything.
Come on. Learn byyourself.

With a family, mortgage,
car loans, kids to raise--

Why should I do for him?
Because they're gonna say,
"Hey, he's the new hotshot."

Soyou consideryourself
a loyal employee?

-Andhowyouareperceived
byDonald Trump.
- Every,bodyhere is very,stressed.

What doyou think theirperception is
ofwhyyou're here?

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

Thank you for your time.

[ Bill]
I don't think any ofthe interviews
were easy. They were tough questions.

I fyou came in there unprepared,
and you didn't give them quality answers,

uh, I think it would have
been a catastrophe.

[Amy]
I don't rememberwhat it was,
but I'm, like, "I'm not making anysense:"

So hopefully it's the quality
of how I deliver it...

and not what I say.

I honestly can saythis is the first time
that I don't know ifI'll make the cut.

Because I think we're all qualified.

I think that itjust depends
upon what skill set...

Mr. T rum p and his advisors
are looking for,
and that's the big unknown.

So, look-- We're gonna be firing
two people.

You spent an entire day with them.
Norma, what do you think?

- Who are you most impressed with?
- Bill.

He's solid. I like what he said.
I like the way he did things
and spoke about things.

I thought he was good.
I liked him a lot.

- All right. Charlie?
- Bill, to me,

is a kind of guy who
I could relate to immediately.

He certainlycouldhit the ground
running and wouldrequire
very,little supervision and time.

[ Trump ]
Allen, what do you think ofKwame?

He i ndicated to me that energy
isn't always outward.

And I said,
"This company is full of energy,

"and unless you portray
the energy to Mr. Trump,

he will thinkyou're sort of
laid-back and--"

But he may be right about that.
That's a very interesting statement.
He may be right.

We see a lot ofpeople
with a lot ofenergy,

but it's all wasted energy.

He's got a likability about him,
and in my business,

ifyou can get an extra
two or three minutes out of someone
when you're face-to-face with them...

becauseyou're likable,
that's important.

Tom got me good, because he was,
like, "You got to give me a reason
to vouch foryou with a losing record.

You got a losing record.
How are you gonna explain that?"

[ Nick ] I saw Kwame today,
and he didn't look as confident
as I've seen him.

The same thing with Bill.
This is what it's all about--

perfeorming in front of
keypeople.

Let's do this.

[ Trump ]
All right.
What didyou think ofNick?

I I i ked N ick a lot as a person.
I got to feel, " Here's a guy
with a lot of potential."

But clearly is not a sharp kind of guy.
Clearly doesn't present himself
as an intellect.

Nick, I felt, was a great person
to sell a product.

He comes right atyou.
He's inyourface.
But there's nothing behind that.

Can't see him heading
one ofyour companies, Mr. Trump.
Can't see it.

Why?
Because I think he's--

I think he's a little bit
too slick forhis own good.

I honestly didn't walk away
from that meeting feeling like--
like I know him.

[Bell Dings ]

[Trump ]
All right. Norma,
what didyou think ofAmy?

I think... she would get
on my nerves after a while.

I think she'd like being...

the enthusiasticyoung girl
with the big smile,

you know, with the perfeect teeth.

Honestly, Mr. Trump,
she irritated the hell out of me.

And I sensed that
there was definitely...

a hunger with her,
and a drive,

but I'm not sure
what her motivation is.

Amykindofreminded me
ofa Stepford wife.

Within 1 5 minutes,
I was dead bored with talking to her.

I felt herwords hadno content.
Heranswers were basicallymeaningless.

I would have always,
in my own person,

rejected that kind of personality,
because it's an empty personality.

[ Trump ]
Wow. I didn't expect
to hear that.

But I trust you guys,
so now I really do have...

a prettygood idea
about what I need to do.

Listen, thankyou all very much.
We appreciate it. Go back to work.

Okay.
We're having a good year.
Let's continue.

Okay, thankyou.
Thankyou.

- Robin? Let 'em come in, please.
Right now, thankyou.
- Right away.

You can all go in now.

[Trump ]
Ijust want to start offi
bysaying this is tough.

Two ofyou
are gonna be fired.

Two ofyou are going to
live for another day.

And we'll see how
that all works.

- Nick, do you think Kwame's good?
- He-He's good. He's a Harvard guy--

He's very,smart.
Doyou think he's great?
Doyou think he's good?

- We aren't talking about--
- George, George. Let me finish.

Do you think Kwame is
good at leading?

There's some areas of opportunity
that I think he needs to work on
as far as leadership goes.

Kwame, wouldyou be comfortable
working forNick?

I would probably not be comfortable
respecting Nick's ability as a leader.

- But you don't think Nick is great.
- I think he's good,

but I don't know ifhe's great.

Bill, ifyou were me,
whowould you get rid of
ifwe'rejust choosing one?

- At this point, I would get rid of Nick.
- Why?

The depth andexperience isn't there.
I mean, he's--

- Uh, he doesn't have the diversity--
- But he's had experience.

Right. It's strictly in
a sales capacity, I think.

To say that I'm just
a salesman is-- is--

They seem to always say aboutyou,
you're a great salesman, and that's it.

Allright. Amy,
who wouldyou get ridof
ofthese three?

I would concurwith Bill,
and I would recommend
firing Nick.

Nick? Whoa.

That's the end ofthat marriage.
You're very cold.

- No, it's-- I think--
- You're a coldhearted person, Amy.

[ Both Chuckling ]

- Nick, has she just blown
the relationshipwith this?
- Not at all.

This isprettytough.
Yeah, it's hard.

But Iaskyou to look at
this specifically--
Whyis Trump Trump?

When you walk into a room,
there's a presence there.

Every, employee I talked to
has worked foryou for 1 0years,

twentyyears, 25 years.

They come to work
because ofyou.

And I believe
I share those same traits.

[ Trump ]
All right, Nick.
All my executives...

and every, one ofyourpeers
in this room have said
you're a salesman but not a leader.

Andyou know it takes more
than just sayingyou can sellyourself...

to run a company.

You have to command the respect
ofthe people aroundyou.

Unfortunately, I have to say...
you're fired.

Al I right.

Thanks for the opportunity
to compete.
Thankyou, Nick.

- And you really are outstanding.
- That you are.

Thankyou.

[Nick]
I thought I was
the best one there, but...

I'm 27, I don't have
the work experience...

that Bill and Kwame
andAmy do.

I'm sure that played into it.

I'm excited to have had
this opportunity.
I did my best.

Went a thousand miles an hour
and 1 30%.

I have nothing
to be ashamed of,
and I have no regrets.

I went big, and unfortunately
it didn't work out this time, but...

sooner or later,
it's all gonna happen.

[ Trump ]
Very, simple:
We're down to three.

And now I have to make
a decision. Amy, do you think
Bill is as smart as Kwame?

[Amy]
I think academically,

- Kwame would, um, uh, succeed more.
- I disagree with that.

- But I do think that--
- Why do you disagree?

I graduated from Loyola cum laude.
I could have gone to any business school
or any law school I wanted.

I chose a diffierent path.
I chose to go out...

and create my own business
and take control of my own destiny.

Andjust because
I chose a diffierent path...

doesn't necessarily mean
I'm any less intelligent
than anyone at this table.

- I totally agree with that.
- [Trump ]
Itseems to me thatAmy...

has more energy
than both ofyou guys.

I respectfully disagree.
I think she channels her energy
in a different way,

and she verbalizes her energy
to everyone in the room.

People express themselves
in diffierent ways.

Amy, let me askyou this.
You have been a superstar
until today.

And I've had
some negative statements...

from my own people
about Amy.

They didn't I i ke her i nterview,

and today, all ofa sudden,
every,body-- The world seems
to be crashing in.

And you have those days.
I have those days.
We all do.

So what do you think
I should do?
I don't know.

I think the question goes
back to you, Mr. Trump.

It's, who areyou hiring,
whatposition areyou looking for,

and what skills do you think
we have to offer?

I must say, Amy,
that over the last...

period ofweeks,
long, hard weeks,

you did the best
in terms ofaction.

But today,
it has fallen down.

Amy, all ofmy executives said...

that there's little substance
behindyour words.

The fact ofthe matter is,
people in my organization...

have to be inspired byyou
before you can earn their respect.

It's going to be tough
to bringyou into the fold...

without that respect,
and it's a tough decision.

But, Amy,
I have to fi re you.

Okay.

[Amy] I would have liked
to have been the apprentice, but I think
there's good things in store for me.

I view this as a 1 3-week
accelerated M.B.A.

I've learned so much
that I wouldn't have had
the opportunity to learn...

had I not been selected
as a candidate for The Apprentice.

I think what's been the greatest
experience for me is learning that...

you can accomplish anything
ifyou put your mind to it.

[ Trump ]
Kwame, congratulations.
Bill, congratulations.

Not only didyou perfeorm well
for the past 12 weeks,

but both ofyou impressed
all ofmy top executives.

Now it will come down to
how wellyou act as an executive...

and how well
you manage people.

Go up to the suite.
Meet me back here tomorrow
at 1 0:00 a.m....

when I'll give you
your final task.

And it's the biggest one yet.

- Good I uck. Thank you.
- [ Both ]
Thank you.

Thank you.

[ Kwame Whistles ]
Nice!

It's a great view, huh?
It's a great view.

[Kwame ]
Bill and I wound up being
the final two competitors.

We went up to the roofandjust
talked about the long, hardstruggle
we've been through,

and wished each other
the best of luck,
and just enjoyed the view.

It was a good closure
for us both.

Well, let's pop the "Mo," man.
It's just us.

- [ Cork Pops, Liquid Pouring]
- This is all right right here.

Thanks, dude.

To opportunity.
Yeah.

Good time.

[Bill]
I feel that Iplayed the game
the best way I could.

I haven't tried to be someone
I'm not. I haven't tried to be fake.

Because I wouldn't want to win
that way. Because ifl did win
the game that way,

it would be such
a short-term gain.

Because eventually,
they'd find out that
I wasn't the guy I said I was,

and I wouldn't make it.

- I'm glad I came out
and did this journey, man.
- Yeah, me too.

- You got to take chances.
That's what life's about.
- Big risk and big reward.

Let's hope so.

Just keep the faith.

Mymom was the firstperson
in myfamilyto go to college
and finish. First person.

Mygrandfathersigned his name
like a runawayslave, with an "X.:"

Here I am-- I went to Harvard
Business School, my grandfather
signed his name with an "X."

If that's not the American dream,
I don't know what it is,
in terms ofaccess to opportunity.

- May the best man win.
- Ah, I thinkwe already have.

[Trump]
The greatest thing that can happen
to a businessman orwoman...

is to surround yourself
with talented people...

who also happen to be loyal.

You neverknow what makes
a loyalperson.
And guess what?

Ifthey're not loyal toyou
one time, don't give them
a second chance,

because they won't be loyal
to you the next time.

Morni ng.
Morning.

So, here we are.

Two out of2 1 5,000.
That's not bad.

Now, everybody assumed
that I was gonna be picking...

a really beautiful woman,
like Amy.

And, hey, I'm stuckwith two guys.

The fact is that
you guys were the best.

And when it comes to business,
I don't play games.

Nowforyourfinal task.

Each ofyou will oversee
all ofthe details...

involved in two huge events.

Bill, you'll run
the Chry,sler Trump GolfTournament...

i n Briarcl iff Manor
at Trump National Golf Club.

Kwame,you'll be in charge
oftheJessica Simpson concert...

in Atlantic City at the Taj Mahal.

We're gonna see who does
the betterjob at running the event.

And based on yourperfeormance,
only one ofyou...

will become the apprentice.

Now, you two guys--
you're now bosses.

You're leaders.
So I 'm gonna bring in some people,

andyou're gonna choose
these people,

and you're gonna have a team,
and they're gonna be your employees.

'Causeyou needa team.
You can't do it byyourself.

So let's see how we do.

Robin, let the people
come in, please.

Okay.
You can go in now.

Long time, no see.
Wow.

Hey, guys.
Look at this, huh?

- Hey, how ya doin'?
- See the waythey're
kissin'yourass already?

- [ All Laughing ]
- That's what happens whenyou're a boss.

Okay. So nowyou guys
have to pick the staffi
thatyou think will help you succeed.

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

Amy's always made me
elevate my game,

and I've risen to the challenge
when she's been on myteam,
so I'm gonna pickAmy.

[ Trump ]
That's not a badpick.
Kwame, go ahead.

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

[ Trump ]
Ah, Troy. All right. Bill?

- I'm gonna pick Katrina.
- [ Trump ]
Katrina. Okay. Very,good.

- I'm gonna pick Omarosa.
- Very,good.

- I'm gonna take Nick.
- Okay.

- I will take Heidi.
- Very,good. Okay.

Line up your teams.
Stand behind your leader.

Don't forget--you folks
are now the employees,

and these areyourbosses.

So, employees, go downstairs.

Bosses, go getyour things.
You'll meetyour employees later.

Kwame, Bill, as executives,

you'll each be driven
to your destination
byprivate limo.

Here are your i nstructions.

Good luck.

- Do well. Get out of here.
- [ Both ]
Thank you.

[Kwame ]
Mr. Trump gave us the choice
ofpeople to build our team,

and funny enough, we wound up picking the
exact same people as the teams were before.

So basically, it was myself,
Omarosa, Troy and Heidi.

Best of I uck to you, man.
We've come a long way.
You too.

Versus Bill, Amy,
Nick and Katrina.

It was definitely
larger than life.

You know, our employees
are in their own S.U.V.,

and we're in our own
chauffieured town car.

I t's cool.

[ Kwame ]
I was try,ing to map out where
I wanted to deploy all ofmy team,

so as soon as we get down to
Atlantic City, we can hit hit
the ground running and start playing it.

And then I 'l I meet and greet.
Heidi, you want to be
in front of people?

Yes.
There we are.

I wanted Troy to manage promotion
and all the elements ofthat.

Under logistics,
Omarosa would be strong there.

Oh, completely.
We've got to make sure thatyou shine.

I really appreciate that,
and I thinkwe're gonna
do this as a team.

I think myleadershipstyle
is to layout a plan,

and then make sure
everybody's following up
and executing it,

notjustsit there and micromanage
until everything gets done.

[Bill]
We arrived at the country, club,
and I wasn't gonna be able to rest...

until I blueprinted a plan.

Al I ri ght.
Let's get i n here and, uh,
rock and roll.

I reallyfelt it was important
to meet with Lesley Rey,
the Director ofSales and Events.

- Lesley. Hi, I 'm Bill.
- Because this is what she does.
She's the expert.

We immediately dove into
a plan of action.

Let's just start--
Let's just divvy this up,
and we're gonna run with it.

"Workwith Chrysler representative
to place cars on course appropriately
and ensure correct signage."

I think Nick's in charge
ofthat, right?
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

"Prepare and distribute
gift bags to players."

Katrina, that'syou.
Mm-hmm.

Amy,you're gonna
handle Donald Trump.

[Bill]
We're in a new environment.
We're taking overpeople's offiice space.

And my teammates
are now my employees.

So it was definitely
a transition day.

I 've got a lot to prove, you know?
I want to wi n this thing.

What do you think?
Think we've got a tight plan?
Yeah. Uh-huh.

Nick?
Yeah.

I'm helping Bill out.
I'm an employee,

and, uh, you know,
that's great.

- Katrina--
- I'm on your team, Bill.

All right. I just want to make sure
we're all on the same page here, guys.

What we've been toldis that
Jessica Simpson arrives on Friday.

We've gone through our checklist,
but I've got a few...

kind ofmajor broad questions,

and the most i m portant one is,
how do you define a successful
event here at the Taj Mahal.

A successful event forme is to
make sure that the entertainer
that comes in is taken care of...

from the minute they land
to the minute they leave.

That's the success for me.

Thank you, guys.
Appreciate it. Thanks, Mark.

[ Troy]
What kind ofchicken entree
wouldyou recommend?

[ Kwame ] Towards the end
ofthe day, we finally had a chance
to figure out what was left undone,

fi gure out what we needed
to pul I together...

to start building out a plan
to execute against for the next day.

Everyone should include in that
a list ofthe outstanding items...

that they still think are relevant
to their subcommittees.

[Omarosa]
Like me building the breakfast.
Yeah.

Omarosa, I have a call foryou.

Hello?

Yes.

I'm sorry.
Say that again.

I got a phone call in the middle
ofdinnerfrom Diane,

who's in charge of transportation.

The pick-up forwhat?
I'm sorry.

For the cast members
that are coming in?

[Woman ]
I called Omarosa and toldher...

to make sure
thatJessica and her band...

arrive when they're
supposed to arrive.

This transportation has to be,
you know, coordinated.

But is there anyway
you can go ahead and make
the arrangements for the transportation?

Because unfortunately,

we're sitting in the middle
of, um--

of, uh-- Okay.

It's like, "Can you take care of it?
I'm having dinner." You know.

I don't think things are
gonna go smoothly,
'cause this is just the beginning.

All righty.
I'll seeyou tomorrow. Bye, bye.

[ Beeps ]

Hi.
[Troy]
Omarosa got aphone call.

We're under the assumption
that it has to be task-oriented.

I said, "What do employees
have to be loyal to ifyou
don't have an enterprise?"

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

[Troy] Thenyou ask,
"Hey, what was the phone call?"
because I want to know.

If there's something to do
with the task, I want to know about it.

And she's, like,
"Well, we can't talk about it."

And I askedheragain,
"Tell me what the phone call
was about:"

Andshejust wouldn't tell me.
She refused to tell us.

[ Omarosa ]
It really was not a big deal.

[ Troy]
And I have no clue
what it is.

And so for me, it's a little--
I don't want to say upsetting,

but I raise an eyebrow,
and I 'm, I i ke, "Come on."

You know?
"J ust tell us what it is."

Okay. We essentially have
an hour before our first meeting.

Okay?So, Omarosa.

Jessica arrives here
tonight at midnight,

and I'd like for the whole team
to be there to just greet her and say--

[Kwame ] I agree.
Get her settled in. Make sure
ifthere's anything that she needs--

So that covers
logistics and talent, right?
Yes.

[Phone Ringing]

KwameJackson's room.
How may I helpyou?

[ Laughing ]
Hi, it's Diane from Entertainment.
Is Kwame there?

Hi, Diane. It's Omarosa.
How areyou?
Okay,

but actually,
we have a little problem.
What's wrong?

The van is still
at the airport, and, um,

it has the wronginformation.

[Kwame ]
I wanted to coordinate
a meeting ofthe minds,

and that's when Omarosa
got the call from Diane.

And basically, that call was
about some wrinkle
in the travel.

Diane, how areyou?
This is KwameJackson.

Hi. How areya?
I just wanted to letyou know...

that therewas a little problem
yesterdaywith the transportation.

Okay.
I tried to get in touch
with Omarosa,

because it had to be
taken care of.
Okay.

So I had, um,

tracked her down last night,

andshe was having dinner,
actually.
Okay.

Can you hang on
one second?
Yeah.

She said she tried to get
in touch with you last night.

Sorry. So I did happen to
secure a van...

to be there in the morning
to pick upJessica Simpson's band.

The van is still there
at the airport now.

But we don't know
where anybodyis.

Okay. Let me just get
the story straight.

You gave Omarosa a call
last night at dinner
about this issue?

Mm-hmm.
Okay. Hold on one second.

Great!
Diane? Hi. I don't understand
what the misunderstanding is.

What doyou mean,
you don't understand
what the misunderstanding is?

You need to find out
what the right flights are...

and what time these people
are gonna be arriving.

Oh, you knowwhat, Diane?
I'll call you right back.

Bye.

Whew!

[Kwame]
So what was the callabout?
Was the callabout logistics?

No, I called her
before we everwent to dinner.
At MarkAnthony.

What do you mean?
You got a call at MarkAnthony
at the table.

She says that's when she calledyou
and talked to you about something.

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

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

So that's what
the call was about?
Yeah.

So why didn'tyou tell us last night?
Why couldn't I just
tell you all today?

Because we askedyou about--
Honest to goodness,
we did askyou last night.

We said,
"What was the call about?"

And you said it was nothing.
But I was just curious.

[ Omarosa ]
No, the call wasjust to call her.

So there was no emergency
orsome majorphone call.

She just left a message to call.
Where is the, um--

I'mjust used to dealing
with really competent people.

So ifyou sayyou're gonna
do something, it gets handled,

And it's rare that, you know,
in my experience,

that folks just totally
drop the ball.

Hey, Diane, it's Kwame.
I wanted to apologize
forthe snafu.

[Kwame ] IfI'm running
the show, I would fire people who weren't
competent and get competent people.

- But I didn't have
the luxury of doing that.
- Okay.

Sorry about the confusion.
Take care.

That's just silly.

[Heidi]
Ifyousee one ofyour employees doing
something thatyou don't approve of,

you reallyhave to confront it,
andyou've got to resolve it quickly.

Because ifyou don't,
then it'sjust gonna lead
to more problems in the future,

and I felt that Kwame sometimes
just let things slide...

because he doesn't want to
really get into a conflict.

And you really can't do that
as an executive.

The band's got
their own transportation.

Not good. Hi, it's Diane.

Um, you want to tell John
he can bring thevan home?

Mm-hmm.

Someone's storingstuffi
in mygarage.
I've got two appointments.

I can't--
It's not a storage facility.

And one, I can't be
responsible for it.

Okay.

Bill is running
the event. Bill?

I'm gonna putyou on hold
one more second.

I just found out
from our, um, golfstaff...

about the inventory,
forthe goodie bags.

Okay.
They're down in the model home,
in the garage.

This isn't the first time that
that space has been used for storage.
No, no, no.

[Woman ]
That is the first time.
It is the first time.

The first time
except forthis event.

So there was products already
in there, and all I did was
add some products to it--

That doesn't seem
unreasonable to me.

But didyou have approval
to use the model home?

You know,just get
the manager's approval
before you use their space.

It's just considerate.

[ Bill]
Lesley, I don't think, has a clue
about what I'm capable ofdoing.

She just assumed...

that I was an utter,
you know, moron.

Okay, that's cool.
We're good. We're good. We're good.

Sorry about that.

[Bill]
I know what I'm doing.
I've done it for eightyears,

and I've built
very,, very, successful companies.

I 'm not some rookie
that, you know,

can't walk and chew gum
at the same time.

Um, maybe we can--
I don't know if that
would be an interest to you.

You've got to be kidding.
This manyboxes?

Oh, my God.

[Bill]
I feel like we've displaced Lesley.
Butyou know what?

I'm not gonna worry,
about what Lesley thinks,
'cause what Lesley thinks is irrelevant.

And I hate to be a--
[ Beeps ]
but...

I got a job to do tomorrow,
and I got to get it done.

- This is a lot ofstuffi.
- Mm-hmm.

Go back to the casino?
Yeah.

You can sit
whereveryou're comfortable.

Right now, we are at dinnerwith
Jessica Simpson's father,Joe Simpson,

who is also her manager.

- I'm definitely excited for the show.
- Absolutely.

I am actually gonna go and meet
with Mark and the rest ofthe band...

and make sure the logistics
are taken care of.

But we have to promise
to do a rain check, okay?
Absolutely. So nice to meet you.

[Joe Simpson ]
What time doesJessica come in?
10:30?

9:30 in Philly, which puts herhere
at 1 1:30 to midnight.

[ Omarosa ]
I went out in the middle ofdinner
to arrange forJessica's arrival.

When I returned to the offiice,

I received a frantic cal I from Diane.

Okay. There's no luggage
there at all?

Diane informed us
thatJessica Simpson was missing.

That the driver was standing
at her terminal,

and there was no luggage for her,
there was no record ofher.

Okay. U m, okay,
let me just cal I you ri ght back.

Coffee, espresso, cappuccino?
I 'll have an espresso.
I like coffee.

[ Troy]
I'll have the creme brulee too.

[ Omarosa ] Kwame is currentlyhaving
a wonderful meal. Let's see what
he thinks about the missing rock star.

[ Kwame ]
Hel lo.
H i.

- Omarosa. Go ahead.
- We have a small issue.

All right.
Jessica is lost.

Okay.
Uh,

the driver is there;
her bags are not there;

- everybody has come and gone;
she is not there.
- Okay.

So I need foryou to report to the office
so we can find her as soon as possible.
Okay.

-[Kwame ]She'll be okay.
-[Joe Simpson ]
She'll be all right.

That's what I think,
I think she'll bejust fine.

[Kwame ] It's important to maintain
a certain amount ofcomposure
to project confidence...

and to project organization,
so that people can know
that this guy...

makes us feel cal m, and he's got
the situation under control.

Even if that's not the case, you know,
never let 'em see you sweat.

Let's debrief
in our sweatbox here.
Yep.

From a logistics standpoint,
we are so sloppy right now, Kwame.

I'm sittin' here makin'--
[ Beeps ]
up.

It's not us anymore.
It'syou, baby.

[Kwame ]
In the real world,
I would neverhire Omarosa,

because Omarosa'sjob was
to be in charge ofthose flights.

I assumed that, you know,
she could do that job, so maybe
that was the wrong assumption.

Okay, what doyou need?
I reallyneed to know
whatyou need.

I'm not gonna leave Joe
at the dinner table.

Go ahead and attend to Joe.
You want me to help you,
and he can delegate it out?

No, it's cool.
Doyour thing, brother.
Okay.

So, whatever.
Okay.

Go ahead. Yep.
Thankyou.

[ Omarosa ] I was a little baffled
byKwame's reaction.
He wasjust like, "Oh, well:"

It's not the fact that it happened.
It's how he handles it.

He needs to be very concerned.

He needs to feign concern,
even if he's not.

This is one of those real tests.

Kwame was not hands-on.

It turned out to be
a huge, huge disaster.

Go ahead and recite that number.

Jessica's not at the airport.

[ Omarosa ]
We started to coordinate...

a frantic search effiort
to findJessica Simpson.

Somebody's checking on the status
ofDelta Flight 1 0 1 6.

- Hi, Diane?
- Yes.

- H i. I s the driver sti I l at the airport?
- Uh, yeah.

Did he get her?
No.

Oh, my God. I've done
everything I could think of.

How do you lose a rock star?

This is a 1 3-week job interview.

This is not a game.
This is business.

This is real-life stuffi.

People can really
relate to this,

because every,one,
at some point,
has been hired.

Every,one,
at some point,
has been fired.

Somebody's gonna be working for me
for a period ofat least a year,

and I want to make sure
I pick the right person.
They're all winners.

They're al I smart.
Which one's the best?
Who knows?

I 'm doing my best
to figure it out.
