00:00As Kwame was very happy to see Troy safely return from the boardroom.
00:04T-Roy!
00:06Here's something, congrats.
00:08The next morning, Protégé was given a chance to even up the signs.
00:12Who are you going to choose to be on your side?
00:14We're going to choose Bill to be on our side.
00:16Go ahead, Bill. Good luck.
00:18For their next task, the teams went to Atlantic City
00:21where they had to come up with a plan to attract gamblers to play at the Trump Taj Mahal.
00:26How many games?
00:264,600 slot machines and 180 tables.
00:30Nick and Amy's romance continued to blossom.
00:33I don't really know what I think about Nick.
00:35Maybe it's time to find out.
00:37In the casino, Bill had a brilliant idea to target the VIPs.
00:42The game was not going to be won or lost on volume.
00:45It was going to be won or lost on the quality of player that you brought through.
00:50And Kwame and Troy added some shock value.
00:53We do have the tiger coming in.
00:54We have the 700-pound white tiger coming in.
00:57Everybody step back.
00:57While Versicore's idea was lackluster.
01:01Our plan is to raffle a car rental valued at $300.
01:05In the end, Protégé's creative ideas paid off.
01:09And you guys finally won one.
01:15In the boardroom, Nick was shocked by Amy's comments.
01:18I think Bill's my toughest competition.
01:20So maybe we should just call off the competition.
01:22I should choose Bill.
01:23When Amy picked Nick to go back to the suite, Katrina revealed Nick and Amy's romance.
01:28Do you think that Nick and Amy have a personal relationship?
01:31Oh, most definitely.
01:33I'm surprised at you, Amy.
01:34I didn't see this.
01:35Now, I have to say, my only problem is I have to go to a certain extent with the past.
01:40And with the past, Amy was very exceptional.
01:43And therefore, Katrina, I have to say, you're fired.
01:49Five candidates are left.
01:50Who will be fired this week?
01:59Money, money, money, money, money.
02:02Money, money, money, money.
02:07Money, money, money.
02:08Some people got to have it.
02:13Do things, do things, do things.
02:16Bad things with it.
02:17Dollar bills, y'all.
02:22Come on, that deal, oh, see me great.
02:29Almighty, dollar, I don't know that money.
02:35You, me, a nigga, brother, can you spell that?
02:40Money can drive some people out of their mind.
02:45Money, money, money, money.
02:47Money, money, money, money, money.
02:48Money, money, money, money.
02:49Money, money, money, money.
02:50Money, money, money, money.
02:51Money, money, money, money.
02:52Money, money, money, money.
02:53Money, money, money, money.
02:54Money, money, money, money.
02:55Money, money, money, money.
02:56Money, money, money, money.
02:57Money, money, money, money.
02:58Money, money, money, money.
02:59Money, money, money, money.
03:00Money, money, money, money.
03:01Money, money, money, money.
03:02Money, money, money, money, money.
03:03Money, money, money, money, money.
03:04Money, money, money, money, money.
03:05Money, money, money, money, money, money, money.
03:06I don't think Amy will be fired because she's too good.
03:26This is her first time losing.
03:29And if she just stays calm in that boardroom situation
03:31when they're firing questions at her, she'll walk out.
03:36Nobody here to greet me?
03:38Can't believe this!
03:39Amelia, congratulations.
03:42Everyone asleep.
03:43I think Katrina was ready to go home.
03:46So as I walked into the boardroom, I felt pretty confident
03:49that I would be walking out as the last remaining female.
03:54Well, talk to me. What happened?
03:56Well, there's not much to talk about when there's just two people.
03:58Yeah, and there's less people now.
03:59I said, you know, I think that everyone had been to the boardroom but me.
04:04So, and he's like, yeah, you know, Amy brings up a good point, Amy, Katrina.
04:08It was, you've got to look at her track record.
04:11I think Amy's ego is escalating as the tasks go on, without a doubt.
04:15She has gotten the God complex.
04:18I think she's sizing everybody up right now.
04:20Bill, I was tooting your horn, and they said,
04:22well, if you think Bill's so great,
04:24then why don't we just quit this competition and give it to Bill?
04:27That sounds good to me.
04:29I'm all right with that.
04:30Nick might have been a little offended
04:35that I think Bill's a stronger player,
04:37but if I had my choice of who I would partner with
04:40to lead me closer and closer to victory,
04:44it would absolutely be Bill.
04:45And I think if Nick can't sense that,
04:47he's not as sharp as I think he is.
04:49They look for anything to get you.
04:52Where you go?
04:53Popped your boardroom chair.
04:54Isn't that great?
04:55She didn't have to say that in the boardroom,
05:02and I don't know what the angle was,
05:04whether it's like a watch out, Nick,
05:06because I'm coming to get you,
05:07or maybe she truly believes that.
05:10I mean, she wants to win this thing.
05:11She could stab me in the back tomorrow.
05:13Are we ready?
05:14Yeah, we're ready.
05:15Just do this one.
05:16Yeah.
05:17Well, good time.
05:19Right?
05:20Yeah.
05:21Good night.
05:21Good night.
05:22Good night.
05:22Good night.
05:22Good night.
05:24Good night.
05:26Good night.
05:40Good night.
05:43Hello.
05:50Amy answered the phone.
05:52Told everybody that we had to depart at around 8.15, 8.30,
05:55and we're going to head over to the penthouse
05:57at Trump World Tower.
06:00Are you going to go like that?
06:02I look good.
06:03I know.
06:03I'm just asking that you're tired.
06:05Kwame and I have developed a great friendship.
06:07Kwame's got a polished veneer.
06:09He's got a Harvard degree.
06:10He knows how to interact with people.
06:12So I'm proud to say that my biggest competition
06:14is also one of my closest friends.
06:17Come on, man.
06:18We say we're not going to press, Bobby.
06:19I'm going to **** it.
06:20Troy and I do have a relationship,
06:22and it is a real friendship.
06:23So, yeah, that puts us at an advantage
06:25in terms of looking out for each other.
06:27He's clean.
06:28This is a match.
06:30That's what you got.
06:31It's got some color in it.
06:32Oh, yeah.
06:33That's what you got.
06:33That's what you got.
06:34Troy and Kwame have forged quite a friendship
06:37over the last 12 weeks.
06:38I'm clearly a guy who's on the outside looking in,
06:42and I'd be a fool not to take that into consideration.
06:57I'm fine.
06:58What's that?
06:59Whole gang.
07:01Nineteen floors.
07:02Follow me.
07:08You're not going to believe what you're going to see.
07:11Come on.
07:12Let me show you luxury living in Manhattan.
07:18Come on in.
07:20This is called luxury.
07:24This is Trump luxury.
07:25Come on over here.
07:26Come on over.
07:31Jeez.
07:32Oh, my.
07:33Oh, my.
07:35Bernie is back with us covering for George.
07:40He and Carolyn will join you on your task.
07:43This is Trump World Tower.
07:45It's one of the most luxurious buildings in the world.
07:48This is the 90th floor penthouse.
07:50This is a very exclusive space I rent out only on rare occasions for special events.
07:57You see why Trump is Trump.
08:00Largest windows in the city.
08:02Highest ceilings.
08:03Everything is luxury.
08:04Best of everything.
08:06What you're going to do is take this 90th floor penthouse apartment,
08:11and you're going to rent it out for an evening for a minimum of $20,000.
08:16It's 9 a.m. now.
08:18At 7 p.m., this task will be over.
08:22You only have 10 hours.
08:24Then you're done.
08:26The team that rents it out for the most money wins.
08:29If you think this property is amazing, wait until the reward.
08:33The winners will take the Trump jet to what a lot of people consider the most luxurious private club anywhere in the world.
08:40My 25-acre estate in Florida, Mar-a-Lago.
08:44You're going to have lunch in Palm Beach at the Mar-a-Lago Club.
08:49That would be a nice lunch.
08:50That would be a very romantic lunch, Jackson.
08:51You better work very hard.
08:53Maybe you'll get there.
08:54I don't know.
08:54Is there a relationship with you two?
08:56That came up last time, Nick.
08:57Look, do you have a relationship?
08:59We have a good business relationship.
09:00Sometimes we engage in meaningful conversation.
09:03Okay, that's very good.
09:03Very good answer.
09:05I did want to bring that up before we got too far along.
09:07All right, good.
09:08Have fun.
09:09The losing group, back to the boardroom, where someone will be fired.
09:14Good luck.
09:15Have fun.
09:15Thank you, Mr. Trump.
09:19Good luck.
09:21Thank you very much.
09:22I'm going to be the project manager.
09:23Because if you're just looking at me on a piece of paper, the lack of my own education makes people not look at me at first.
09:30So I've got to make an impression every time.
09:34I think the service is key behind this.
09:36It's not just what other amenities can we offer.
09:39I don't want to get so far and not make it all the way.
09:43That'd crush me.
09:44I think it's a great idea.
09:50Let's go sit over there.
09:51Okay.
09:52I get a better signal here.
09:54Both teams went down to the lobby, and that's where we just took different sections of the lobby and started banging out calls.
10:00This is Troy McClain with Trump World Towers.
10:03This is Nick Warnock calling from the Trump World Tower.
10:07I understand that you do event planning.
10:09We set up several meetings with event planners, and so they're the ones that pick the locations for their clients.
10:14It's a 5,500-square-foot penthouse.
10:18Uh-huh.
10:18I mean, it's incredible, the views of the East River, the Hudson River, and the ocean.
10:22I'd love to take a look at it.
10:23Great.
10:24What is your schedule like?
10:26We need to get smart of a place.
10:28Why do people rent it?
10:30You know, what's the pitch you give them?
10:33We made an appointment with Elaine, the director of sales for the Trump World Towers.
10:37What has it rented for in the past?
10:39What size do you ever get?
10:41Right now, we're at the $40,000 level.
10:44Wow.
10:44This is quite a challenge.
10:46I mean, to get someone to commit to, you know, $30,000-plus, $1,000, to rent the space for one night.
10:52I mean, that's a lot to ask someone.
10:53All right, well, thank you very much.
10:54You're very welcome.
10:55It was nice meeting you.
10:56Good luck.
10:57Appreciate that.
10:57Really, it's going to boil down to finding the right person at the right time.
11:05Oh, my God.
11:11Unbelievable.
11:11I think the best way to sell the place is to open the door and let the client create the vision.
11:17Well, you can't beat that view, can you?
11:19There's been no problem with the elevators.
11:21Go home and down.
11:24There's a little music over there.
11:26The big floor out here.
11:27Then there's a few VIP rooms in the back that would work out good if you brought in couches.
11:32But Nick's style is very upfront.
11:35Quite a few times when we walk in, he'll say, how about let's put the band over here and the food over here.
11:42Got the couches over there.
11:43Yeah.
11:44Maybe a little bar set up right there.
11:46These party planners have such vision.
11:48I think by even defining any ideas hinders their imagination and our performance.
12:00Do you think it's a good strategy that we point out?
12:04I mean, you're like a little band over here.
12:07A little.
12:07Like sometimes I think we should just shut up and listen.
12:10Trust me.
12:11That's the way you operate.
12:12Why?
12:13Because you're just feeling, you know, what people are thinking.
12:18You say so.
12:27You cannot be successful without passion.
12:30If you don't love what you're doing, if you don't have passion for it, forget it.
12:35Do something else.
12:36You'll be much more successful and you'll lead a lot happier life.
12:43Bill, Kwame, and myself go to this cafe and we start strategizing.
12:53I don't want to give them a romantic lunch in Marlowe.
12:57All right.
12:58Let's figure out our sales presentation.
13:00Well, you can have your salesperson in their clothes or is what traditionally happens.
13:03Troy set up a sales technique that I wasn't familiar with and I wasn't sure how successful it was going to be.
13:08It was much like buying a car.
13:09It's got 17-foot ceilings, full kitchen, five and a half bathrooms.
13:14I was the initiator on the sale, on the car.
13:17You can have barges come in and do firework shows for you.
13:20I mean, how cool would that be?
13:21I took the clients into the apartment.
13:22I gave them the whole spiel.
13:23I mean, A to Z.
13:24I mean, truly, the possibilities are endless.
13:27Well, the view is great.
13:27The spacing is great.
13:29The senior at the Trump World Tower is great.
13:32And then when we had them warmed up, excited, fired up, we kind of handed the baton to Troy to try to put the screws into it.
13:39He was not going to let them leave until they signed that paper.
13:42We are shooting for a number in the $30,000 range is what we're shooting for.
13:47Oy vey.
13:49Oy vey is my favorite word now.
13:51That is shalom.
13:53Yeah, shalom.
13:54Cheers.
13:55L'chaim.
13:56L'chaim.
13:56L'chaim.
13:58L'chaim.
13:58L'chaim.
13:59He's from Idaho.
14:00L'chaim.
14:01I'm working it.
14:02I'm on it.
14:04I don't know how he's able to say some of the things he says with a straight face.
14:07I mean, it's just, it's 100 miles an hour.
14:11Well, we, actually, we have two firm offers already in.
14:14He can sometimes talk himself out of the game, and I think we're gently walking on that territory right now.
14:20Because, well, he's lying.
14:21This is great.
14:28Isn't it unbelievable?
14:30I mean, it's really awesome.
14:31We thought that if people were interested in minimums, that they weren't the people we should be targeting.
14:37And so we wanted to define a high target.
14:40We've entertained offers upwards of $40,000.
14:45I think if you can get $40,000 for this space, job well done.
14:50I don't think it's worth $40,000.
14:52But we wish you luck.
14:53Yeah, thank you.
14:54It's very nice to meet you all.
14:55Nice to meet you.
14:56Granted, the views are great, and granted, it's a Trump property, but nobody pays anything even close to that these days.
15:02Like $10,000 is the maximum we even heard.
15:05They were laughing at us.
15:07Okay.
15:08How you doing?
15:09Good.
15:09And then a gentleman by the name of Ian came in with Kate, one of our event planners.
15:15Not bad, huh?
15:16This is my favorite part of it, is opening the door and letting people walk in.
15:20Because they're all like, ugh.
15:22I don't know where this place is.
15:24He saw the place and had to have it.
15:27So what did you have in mind?
15:29A New Year's Eve type event.
15:31It's this kind of thing that concerns me.
15:33New Year's Eve parties don't end at midnight.
15:35Uh-huh.
15:36The lease agreement said you've got to be out of the property by midnight.
15:39So it didn't really work for a New Year's party.
15:41So they left, and that was a deal that was lost.
15:44Okay, so what do we do now?
15:49We're looking for a $32,000 range is what we're looking for.
15:52Focusing on that $32,000.
15:55$32,500.
15:56So I'm thinking that I heard an offer of a $32,500 range.
15:59And tell me if I'm wrong or right, but that's what I'm thinking that I heard.
16:02I think you're right.
16:03They basically gave us an oral agreement at $32,500.
16:06You get views of the East River, the Hudson River, and the Atlantic.
16:10Central Park, all of Manhattan.
16:12But at the same time, Bill had someone very interested in the apartment as well.
16:15Okay.
16:16I mean, this is a spectacular spot.
16:17I think so.
16:18I think we'll work perfect.
16:19So let's talk business.
16:20All right.
16:20Why don't you and I, can we, you and I head down to the office?
16:23Okay.
16:25So what we're going to do is we're going to put this lease in place.
16:28We're going to collect the deposit.
16:30And, Kwame.
16:31Can I speak for you for one second?
16:32Yep.
16:32Okay.
16:33Hold on one second.
16:35Pressure's too much.
16:36Too much pressure, huh?
16:38We have one person upstairs doing money.
16:40These guys are hype.
16:42These guys kill me.
16:43Somebody's got to schmooch them.
16:45All right.
16:46Is this a good cop, eh?
16:48No, not a good cop, a bad cop at all.
16:50It's long, long day cops.
16:52It was exciting.
16:53We had two parties, essentially, you know, 50 feet away in two parts of the office, and it
16:57was a bidding war.
16:59And so it was very frenzy because we wanted to make sure we maximized the dollar.
17:02We should check them all the way back to the hotel.
17:04No, no, no.
17:04They have to sign it right now.
17:05Okay.
17:06Make it up.
17:07All right, gentlemen and ladies.
17:09Let's see what we can do here.
17:10I'm going to pull up a seat right next to you.
17:12Troy came in and was, you know, the guy that you're coming at the end and, you know, just
17:17puts the heat on these people and sells them the undercoating.
17:19No, no, no.
17:20Is somebody else right now signing for the space also?
17:25Yeah, right now what we have is a bid.
17:27Are you going to submit two offers?
17:28No.
17:28We can only submit one.
17:29You only can submit one?
17:31Yeah, we can only submit one.
17:31So if I sign the lease right now, it's my space?
17:33Absolutely.
17:35Yeah.
17:36Yeah.
17:36At $35,000?
17:38Actually, $38,500 makes it yours.
17:41$38,500.
17:44$38,500 makes it my space.
17:46Absolutely.
17:49Troy's technique was to steamroll them, creating false urgency on the deal.
17:52I think I'm being hustled, to be honest with you.
17:57With the old, you know, there's another person interested, sure.
18:01I'm going to have to pass.
18:03Okay.
18:03I'm sorry.
18:04I got up from the deal and said, I'm out of here.
18:06You guys are bull****ing me.
18:07Thank you very much, Andrew.
18:08That could have been a fatal blow.
18:11So we immediately shifted 100% of our attention onto the $35,000 deal.
18:17Here comes Bill.
18:18Where are we at?
18:19It's a done deal, right?
18:20You are 18.
18:21You are 18.
18:22Great.
18:23Okay.
18:24Would it be possible to do $35,001?
18:26Absolutely.
18:27Of course.
18:29Just in case the other team was at $35,000, we would be at $35,000.
18:33Price is right style.
18:36Let's go.
18:37Guys, good luck to you.
18:38Yeah.
18:38See you guys.
18:38I'm super excited.
18:39See you guys.
18:41Nick and Amy were still in the lobby when we left.
18:43They had kind of a panicked look on their face.
18:45I don't underestimate Amy, not underestimating Nick, but I'm feeling good.
18:49I think it's time to gas up the jet.
18:50We talked to hundreds of event planners.
19:02There were many that were absolutely interested, but none that could get there by today.
19:05So I'm like, oh my God, getting a deal is going to be impossible.
19:11Every redhead I know just about is with a redhead.
19:14What's up with that?
19:16I've never dated a redheaded girl.
19:17It was two minutes before the deadline and all of a sudden Kate, who had left with Ian, walks back in.
19:30I'm like, Nick, go get her.
19:32Nick walks over and I don't know what he said, but it worked.
19:54He made us an extravagant offer.
19:56I'm pretty sure you've got it, but we don't know what the other team's bringing in.
20:00So we call me happy.
20:02It was an act of God.
20:03I'd like to think some nice salesmanship came into it with Amy and I.
20:08Can I just say, job well done, buddy.
20:40So how was it out there?
20:51How did you guys do?
20:52I feel that we did really fantastic.
20:55The product sold itself.
20:55Nick, how'd you do?
20:57I think we did real well.
20:57You think you and Amy might someday live in a place like that together as man and wife?
21:03I told him we better start selling lots of copiers.
21:06What did you think, Amy?
21:07I think the less you said, the better it sold.
21:09Good product?
21:11Outstanding.
21:12I'm glad you're saying that.
21:13Bernie?
21:14For protege, there's a lease amount for $35,001.
21:21$35,000 for one day is pretty good, right?
21:24Yes.
21:25Okay.
21:26Carolyn?
21:27For VersaCore, we have a lease agreement.
21:30It's for $40,000.
21:32Nice job, guys.
21:34$40,800.
21:35$40,800.
21:36Excuse me.
21:37$40,800.
21:38Are you a little disappointed?
21:39Absolutely.
21:40Are you surprised?
21:41I mean, we never underestimated their ability.
21:44Whose ability?
21:45Nick's or Amy's?
21:45Well, the team as a whole.
21:47I mean, we knew that they were tough competitors.
21:49And so, I mean...
21:51You're all tough.
21:52You're all smart.
21:53Unfortunately, that's not the way the game is played.
21:55Now, the winning team, and this is perhaps appropriate.
21:59I don't know.
22:00Boy, if this match doesn't work, I'd be amazed.
22:03But the winning team is going to get onto my plane tomorrow morning.
22:07You're flying down to Mar-a-Lago, the number one club there is anywhere in the country, as far as I'm concerned.
22:12Having lunch, taking a tour of Mar-a-Lago.
22:14The losing team, sadly.
22:17I'll see you in the boardroom.
22:18Somebody gets fired.
22:25I'll see you in the boardroom.
22:55I'll be honest with you.
22:56I mean, I really thought we had it there.
22:5945 grand?
23:00I was extremely confident going into the task resolution that we won.
23:04I was saying the gas up the jet.
23:06I'd like to retract that statement.
23:09Ouch.
23:09That hurt, though.
23:11It really took the wind out of our sails.
23:13I could not believe it.
23:15What else could we have done better?
23:18I don't know.
23:19But we thought 35,000 was in the bank.
23:22It devastated us.
23:24It's just the way life goes, man.
23:27I said it ain't over with you yet, boss.
23:29At least they've got some fighting after us.
23:31I know.
23:32I'm not giving up.
23:33I'm just like...
23:34I think we had that thing marked up.
23:35Do you know what time you're leaving now?
23:43It's a three-hour flight each way.
23:45We could fly on a luxury custom jet.
23:48You have a bedroom in there, dude.
23:49You better put that to use.
23:52You think so?
23:53You got this beautiful girl all over you, and you're not doing anything?
23:56They're going to think you're a little sweet.
23:58You know what I mean?
23:58Not that there's nothing wrong with that.
23:59You guys are going to make a little magic happen on that airplane tomorrow, from what Nick tells me.
24:16What did you say?
24:19I said, Nick said you guys are going to make a little magic on that airplane tomorrow.
24:24Uh, yeah.
24:25Well, he was concerned that people were going to start thinking he was gay.
24:28So he said, tomorrow, he's going to change the perception.
24:31Oh, good.
24:32Well, maybe there'll be an attractive flight attendant on our plane.
24:37This plane is really terrific, and Nick and Amy are going to have a good time,
25:06especially if they really are in love.
25:08It could be they're in love, but we'll find out on that plane.
25:11But they better not use my bedroom.
25:14This is amazing.
25:17It was much more than I ever imagined.
25:19I mean, we've got wood paneling.
25:21We've got the nicest fabric on the seats.
25:23We've got beds.
25:25Hey, come on back here, folks.
25:26Good morning.
25:27I'm Nick.
25:27Hi, Nick.
25:28Mike Donovan.
25:28It's nice to meet you.
25:29Mr. Trump's pilot.
25:29Nice to meet you.
25:30Hi there, Mike Donovan.
25:31Hi, I'm Amy.
25:32Nice to meet you.
25:33Nice to meet you.
25:33Two beautiful seats reserved for you here.
25:36Please take a seat.
25:37Mr. Trump invited some other guests.
25:39They'll be here shortly, and we'll be on our way to Mar-a-Lac-O.
25:42We're thinking, well, maybe he's going to show up.
25:44Maybe he'll bring some of his famous friends.
25:46And Nick and I just sat and had some small talk and waited.
25:50This is amazing.
25:52It, by far, is the nicest plane you'll ever see in your life.
25:56He has a bidet on this.
25:58Yes, he does.
25:59He has a bidet.
25:59Okay.
25:59Okay.
25:59Okay.
26:06He's going to make the ball.
26:07He's going to make the ball.
26:07I'm going to make the ball.
26:14Hi.
26:15Amy started screaming for some reason.
26:18I have no idea.
26:19I didn't know it was her sister.
26:21And then my dad comes in second.
26:23I mean, it was crazy.
26:24It was crazy.
26:25What?
26:26I was excited.
26:27I was happy to see the guy.
26:28That's my dad.
26:29Jamie, how are you doing?
26:31Hi.
26:32Nice to meet you.
26:33Nick.
26:35Where are we going?
26:36Palm Beach?
26:37Miami?
26:39We're going to Mar-a-Lago.
26:41We're going to have a little lunch at Mar-a-Lago.
26:43Nice.
26:43You became a long wife from Bayonne, New Jersey, didn't you?
26:56You like sweethearts?
26:58Is that the deal?
27:00She can't take her eyes off.
27:03Nick talks a lot about his family,
27:05so I kind of figured that I had a feel for what his dad was like.
27:08He's very proud of his son,
27:10but he also likes to poke fun at him just to get a reaction.
27:13Is this going to be like a serious kind of deal here?
27:16That's right.
27:17I just told him.
27:17I said I get to meet my father-in-law early.
27:19That's right.
27:21The gal that is with Nick, Amy, is a very, very charming girl,
27:25as is her sister.
27:26The one thing that you have to warn Amy about
27:30is Nick has a bad history with women.
27:33They do look cute together.
27:35They do.
27:35I'm just thinking that, yeah.
27:37Are you single?
27:38He's been through a number of women.
27:40No, no.
27:41I'm 100% single.
27:43I'm 100% single.
27:44How about the one out on the West Coast?
27:46What are you talking about, Dad?
27:48The excitement keeps going.
27:58We land and are greeted by yet another limousine.
28:02I could get used to this, Amy.
28:05Who takes us to Mar-a-Lago.
28:06This is amazing.
28:20Good afternoon.
28:21My name is Bernd Lemke.
28:22I'm the managing director.
28:24And on behalf of Mr. Donald Trump,
28:26I welcome you to the Mar-a-Lago Club.
28:28So please come in.
28:29We are greeted by the historian
28:35who gives us a grand tour
28:37of this 90,000-square-foot property.
28:39That tapestry is an 18th-century Venetian tapestry.
28:43It's $10,000 tables,
28:45$100,000 tapestries and chandeliers,
28:48exquisite antiques
28:49that have been imported from Russia and France.
28:52This is the library bar.
28:55It's not like home.
28:57I mean, there's no Lazy Boy.
28:59So beautiful.
29:11This is something else.
29:12It's unbelievable, right?
29:13Come on, have a seat.
29:15We're going to serve you a mimosa.
29:17Hey, this looks fantastic.
29:19Thank you very much.
29:23This is the caviar.
29:25This is the best prize.
29:28The best.
29:28The treat is not only seeing our relatives,
29:31but actually, like, witnessing their reaction
29:34as they experience this extravagance
29:36that we've grown accustomed to.
29:38This is the highlight of my experience.
29:40Oh, 100%.
29:41I told myself I'm not going to be disgruntled today.
30:05I have to let it go.
30:06It's the boardroom day.
30:08I mean, it's very funeral-like.
30:11It's hard to verbalize the intensity level
30:14that you experience when you're in this type of an environment.
30:16I didn't sleep a wink last night.
30:17I was tossing.
30:18I was turning.
30:18I was thinking about today.
30:24How you doing?
30:28Bill and I wanted to get a haircut.
30:29Oh, yeah.
30:30It always adds your confidence
30:31and makes you feel a little bit better by yourself.
30:37The scissors never stopped moving.
30:41And then he put a quart of styling gel on my hair
30:43and just flattened my hair down.
30:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:46I'll just play with it a little bit.
30:47No, no, that's plenty of gel.
30:48No, no, plenty.
30:49But if you go out...
30:50I finished first and I decided to read the horoscopes.
30:55I don't know.
30:56I hope not.
30:57The last few weeks have been rather productive.
30:59And as you look back,
31:01you will be quite happy with what you have accomplished.
31:04I believe in astrology to some degree
31:06because they're pretty accurate.
31:07Bill's was basically keep the faith,
31:09end the end, all will be promising.
31:12Hi, Kwame.
31:13I'm Aries.
31:15Aries.
31:15Someone you love and respect
31:17will let you down over the next 24 hours.
31:20Oh, my God.
31:21But don't let it affect your relationship.
31:23Oh, God.
31:24Oh, that's not good.
31:32God.
31:335,000 bucks.
31:34That's what we lost by.
31:35Yeah.
31:36Put our best foot forward.
31:38And even Trump said we did a good job.
31:39We were beaten.
31:40We knew we were beaten.
31:42We knew one of us was going to be fired.
31:43For one of us, it was our last supper.
31:45So we ordered like kings.
31:48Just think, we are sitting with a potential apprentice right now.
31:53One of us at this table is going to be the apprentice.
31:55You think one of these three?
31:57Yeah.
31:57One of us is getting fired.
32:00Troy's going to have to make a very tough call.
32:02There's a gut in me that says
32:03he may send me back up to the suite out of our friendship.
32:07And there's a gut in me that says
32:09he doesn't want to go up against Bill
32:10because Bill has a better win-loss record.
32:12I don't know.
32:14It's 50-50.
32:15Let's raise him up.
32:16Yeah.
32:16Oh, yeah.
32:17Very good.
32:32Hello.
32:35All right.
32:37Good night.
32:42Looks like a good night.
32:43I do.
32:44Better not.
32:50Good evening.
32:51Hello.
32:51Hello.
32:57No.
32:58Okay.
32:58Okay.
32:58So what happened?
33:09Why did you fail?
33:10I think that what we did is we started out with great ideas.
33:13We had great execution.
33:14And at the end of the day,
33:15they got $40,800.
33:18We got $35,000.
33:20For that much money, I should take them.
33:21They're going to be disappointed.
33:22I mean, they were...
33:23Tell them not to be disappointed.
33:24Even though you guys lose,
33:26and one of you goes, boom, down to the street.
33:28I'll still accept their money.
33:30I love a good deal.
33:32What was the minimum price that you set for this initially?
33:35I think on our first two appointments,
33:36we quoted them 40 to 35.
33:38So that was pretty stupid.
33:40Even if you got your maximum number,
33:42you would have lost.
33:43Yes.
33:43Yes.
33:43So you really started off too low.
33:45Like, Kwame, who would you rather see
33:47on your side of these two guys?
33:49I would rather have Troy on my back in the trenches.
33:52Is Troy a better man than Bill?
33:54That's tough to call.
33:55Troy's also the man who's bringing someone
33:57into the boardroom tonight.
33:58Would you hire Troy to work for you?
34:00Depends on what he'd be doing.
34:01As a chief financial officer?
34:03Probably not.
34:04As a CEO?
34:05I would have to get to know him more.
34:07Kwame, you're shaking your head.
34:08No, would you not hire Troy?
34:09I wouldn't hire Troy as a CFO,
34:10but I would hire Troy in a very, you know,
34:13sales-driven, motivation role.
34:15But not as a CFO?
34:16Not as a CFO.
34:18What about chief executive officer?
34:20Of the appropriate company, yes,
34:22but not in all instances.
34:23You've just gone down a little bit in his book.
34:25Don't forget.
34:26You know, you did beautifully.
34:27You should have just kept your mouth shut.
34:29So go ahead, Bill.
34:30Who would you fire of these two?
34:31I think that Kwame needs to get a little more experience
34:34to complement his education.
34:35And what is your educational background?
34:37Bachelor's degree from Loyola University in Chicago.
34:39All right, good school.
34:41What about you?
34:41I understand you were very successful, Troy, right?
34:44Absolutely.
34:44I do real estate loans as well as real estate development.
34:47I loan my own money is what I loan.
34:49So what do you want to work for me for?
34:50I want to work for you because 15 years ago,
34:53I mailed this to you.
34:54And in my high school quote,
34:55I said, Trump, I'm coming.
34:56You may not have received it,
34:57so I'll make sure you get it right now.
34:59My only education is your book,
35:02The Art of the Deal.
35:03I have no degree from no college,
35:05but I learned how to close loans,
35:06and I learned how to close deals.
35:08High school?
35:09High school is all I have, sir.
35:10So we have a Harvard MBA,
35:12we have a good college graduate,
35:14and we have high school.
35:17And Kwame, you worked for a very, very prestigious company,
35:20Goldman Sachs.
35:21Why would you want to leave Goldman Sachs and work for me?
35:24There are only certain opportunities
35:26that come along in your life to be extraordinary,
35:27and this is one of them.
35:30Well, Troy, it's time to make a choice.
35:32Somebody's going up to the suite,
35:34somebody's going down to the street,
35:36and it may be you.
35:37So who's going up to the suite?
35:41I'd like to invite Kwame to the boardroom with me,
35:43and I would enjoy the battle that we're going to pursue.
35:46All right.
35:46No kidding.
35:47No kidding.
35:50Wow.
35:51I'm very surprised.
35:53Business is business.
35:53Friends are friends.
35:54Don't use them in the same sense.
35:55That's okay.
35:55That's fine.
35:56Bill, have a good time at the suite.
35:59Okay.
35:59Troy and Kwame, you guys go on outside.
36:03Come back in a few minutes.
36:12Give them help.
36:13Okay.
36:14I'm going to cut you quick and fast, baby.
36:15That's it.
36:16That's it.
36:17We've been a long way together,
36:19and now it's time to go head to head.
36:21It's my only opportunity.
36:22May the best man win.
36:24Absolutely, sir.
36:25May the best man win.
36:33That was a little bit surprising.
36:36Not for me.
36:37Who should be fired?
36:38Well, actually, I think what Bill said was very smart.
36:40Kwame's very textbook, but not practical.
36:42So, Bernie, what do you think?
36:43Troy's instincts are critical to business,
36:45and he has very keen instincts.
36:47But he's proven himself too often a loose cannon,
36:50and for you, he would be a detriment.
36:52He needs time to mellow and time to get more experience.
36:55He's not right yet.
36:56I figure we got to wrestle right now.
37:02Robin, let him come in, please.
37:04Okay.
37:04You guys can go back in now.
37:08Big man.
37:10Boss.
37:12Give it all.
37:13It's been real, man.
37:15Let's go.
37:15So, Kwame, your friend screwed you.
37:25Not at all.
37:26Well, I don't know.
37:27I saw the way you shook his hand.
37:29I was a little surprised.
37:30Nothing personal.
37:31Why did you do it?
37:31Why did you pick Kwame?
37:33I picked Kwame because over the last 12 weeks,
37:35Kwame has done a fantastic job in the supporting role.
37:40And I looked at what Bill has done in the last 12 tasks,
37:42and he's had some fantastic ideas
37:45and thinking out of the box.
37:46Don't read notes.
37:47Right.
37:47You don't need notes, okay?
37:49I don't like notes.
37:50Okay.
37:50Kwame's been a great, steady Eddie,
37:52but he hasn't really come out of his box yet.
37:54Therefore, I picked Kwame.
37:56What do you have to say, Kwame?
37:58I have been a steady performer.
37:59I have been someone who's done well.
38:01I think I've got a great background.
38:02But you haven't really been leading too much, Kwame.
38:04Well, I've led three times.
38:05You've been a little bit back.
38:06No, I know, but you've been laid back pretty much
38:08in a lot of these events.
38:09You've been the project manager three times,
38:11but I think what he's talking about is leading.
38:13I've been nominated to lead two out of three times,
38:15so I don't know if that was someone's strategy,
38:16but they saw leadership characteristics in me.
38:18Or they wanted you fired.
38:19Exactly.
38:20Because if you lose your back in the board.
38:21It could be a strategy.
38:22I think it comes down to instinct and guts,
38:25and you can't teach instinct.
38:26Do you think you have more instinct than Kwame?
38:28Yes, I do.
38:28Why?
38:29I couldn't tell you why.
38:30I think you're just born with it.
38:31I don't have the institutionalized education,
38:34but education comes from other places other than colleges.
38:37No, education's not a bad thing.
38:38So, it comes down to a candidate with a high school diploma
38:43who has led well, but has offered a loose cannon,
38:46and a Harvard Business School graduate
38:48who has been chosen as project manager three times,
38:52but never really led.
38:53This is a tough choice.
38:55Actually, this is the toughest choice I've had to make.
38:58The reality is, Troy,
39:02we're dealing with multi-billion dollar businesses here.
39:06The consequences of hiring a live wire like you
39:09could be costly and devastating.
39:12And I have to say, you're fired.
39:21Go ahead.
39:28That's all right.
39:34Keep it real.
