00:00This is not a game. This is a 12-week job interview. It's a dog-eat-dog situation.
00:11Fourteen people have come to London in search of a job.
00:17There is no phone-in here. There is no text number. There is no panel of judges.
00:25I'm the one that decides who gets fired and I'm going to be the one ultimately who decides who gets hired.
00:33They've come to battle it out for a job with Sir Alan Sugar.
00:37I am the most belligerent person that you could ever come across.
00:41Tough and straight-talking, Sir Alan's built a business empire worth 800 million pounds.
00:48Business is not about coming, piss my money up the wall.
00:52He's offering one job with a six-figure salary.
00:56Let's go, go, go, go.
00:57To get it, they're going to have to live and work together.
01:01Don't fucking dick me around. I'm getting pissed off with it.
01:03Quite frankly, I'd like to get rid of the bleeding free of you.
01:06This is the ultimate job interview.
01:09You're fired. You are fired. You are lightweight. You're fired.
01:13You're fired. You are fired. You are fired. You're fired.
01:18Oh, I'm tired.
01:19I'm tired. You're fired. You are fired.
01:20Cheers, cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers, velocity.
01:24Girls team Velocity won the first task.
01:26No voice ever. The boys were left reeling.
01:29OK, this is us. V-Dem.
01:32Sir Alan's next corporate challenge, a charity fundraiser.
01:36You're going to produce two themed calendars.
01:40Nobody is closing any business.
01:42We do fucking well know projects.
01:44On the boys team, Manny and Saeed had problems communicating.
01:48If you're going to say something, say something useful.
01:50Why the fuck are you being so aggressive?
01:53And then the knives came out.
01:56Your project manager, you need to be in there and close it off.
01:59To be honest, I think the project manager's lost complete control of the whole project.
02:04We're a team.
02:05Jo fell out with the rest of her team.
02:08I don't really fundamentally believe in the stylish cats and dogs.
02:11I think it's bollocks.
02:12You are going with it.
02:18The girls team lost the task.
02:21This sucks, as far as I'm concerned.
02:24Project manager Nargis chose Jo and Karen to join her in the firing line.
02:28Please, I said to her this morning, please, I said to her this morning.
02:31I think Jo thinks it's a conspiracy.
02:33Jo fought her corner and was given another chance.
02:36I am trusting you here.
02:38You're not leading me down the garden path.
02:39Nargis, I'm going to let you go.
02:42You're fine.
02:43Nargis became the second casualty of the boardroom.
02:46Now 12 remain to fight for the chance to become The Apprentice.
02:53At the house, the other candidates wait to see who survived the boardroom.
03:07Who do you think is coming back?
03:09Come back.
03:10I think Karen and Jo will come back.
03:13It's not my preference, but I think Karen and Jo will come back.
03:16Did Nargis do anything wrong?
03:18No, she did not.
03:19Well, she didn't come back then.
03:20She was getting tired.
03:22She was getting tired.
03:23It doesn't matter.
03:23If she did nothing wrong...
03:24I think it will be nargis.
03:39Bring it on!
03:40Bring it on!
03:41Bring it on!
03:43Bring it on!
03:44This might not be me.
03:46Nargis.
03:48Nargis.
03:49Nargis.
03:51Nargis.
03:52Nargis.
03:53Nargis.
03:54People still want to see me go. They still see me as a threat.
03:58I'm not a threat. I'm a person. I'm any Joe Cameron. I'm not a threat.
04:00It's not like, oh, my God, what's going to happen? Joe Cameron.
04:04You know, some people still do see me as a threat.
04:06They need to stop seeing me as a threat.
04:08Well done. Nice of days, actually.
04:11Good luck.
04:12A 6 a.m. phone call from Sir Alan's office.
04:28Half an hour, girls, half an hour, half an hour, half an hour.
04:34Seriously, come on.
04:36Half an hour, girls, half an hour, come on, quick, quick, quick.
04:40Half an hour, half an hour, come on, quick, quick, quick.
04:47Oh, yeah.
04:48I've got two in front of me, all the time.
04:52Wow.
05:10Sir Alan's called both teams to London's Stock Exchange.
05:19Good morning.
05:33Good morning, sir.
05:34Well, here we are in the centre of the city, the great city of London, in the Stock Exchange,
05:40and around here are some of the greatest traders in the world, people that are negotiating day in, day out
05:47and never accepting the first price that's given to them.
05:50When it comes to business, it's my personal opinion that buying is one of the most important things.
05:58Now, what's going to happen is, I'm going to give you a list of ten items.
06:05I'm going to give you £1,000 each.
06:07You're going to go out and you're going to buy those ten items from the £1,000.
06:13The team that comes back with the ten items and the most amount of money left over is going to win.
06:20Everything clear?
06:21Yes, sir.
06:22Good. I'll see you back in the boardroom, six o'clock tonight. One of you will be fired.
06:30Both teams will be tracked by Sir Alan's aides, Nick and Margaret.
06:35The teams have offices at the Stock Exchange to plan their strategy for the day.
06:40But first, they must agree on a project manager.
06:42Right, project manager, what's going to do?
06:45I'm happy to do it.
06:47The reason why I want to do it is because, A, I'm fresh out of the boardroom.
06:50So, my fundamental belief is that having gone through that experience, that has strengthened me.
06:55What skills have you got to be a leader? Have you got experience?
06:58Absolutely. I've managed a team of people.
07:00As leader, I'm going to be watching, OK, and there's going to be no game playing.
07:04There's going to be no messing about.
07:05Every single person has to be on the top of their game, OK, because I've got eyes and ears in the back of my head, OK?
07:11Can we just... Has everyone agreed, then, that Joe will be project manager?
07:14Yeah.
07:14Shall we get on with it?
07:15Every single person in their team has to be the best. This is not about me, it's not about you, it's not about a competition.
07:21Ruth, you need to be the best salesperson.
07:23The cat thing, we don't want you fucking about with cats, we need you to be the best salesperson.
07:27That was a different task, Joe.
07:28I know, but what I'm saying is, I'm not bothered whether you like me or not, OK?
07:31What I need is honesty, OK?
07:32So, if you feel like something's going off track, we need to be honest with you.
07:35I ain't going to be offended by anybody. I wasn't offended by anybody.
07:37We actually had eight hours, and now we've got 7.45, so can we get on with the actual task?
07:41Yeah, and the first task is that we need to have a real critical timing plan.
07:45Shall we start, then?
07:46Should we start, then, anyway?
07:47Shall we start?
07:53Each team has a list of ten items to buy, carefully chosen to stretch their negotiating skills.
08:00Everything from a box of fine cigars to the kitchen sink.
08:05You know, we're making stereotypes, but who cares?
08:07You know, so...
08:08But the girls' team, Velocity, can't agree on how to plan the task.
08:12There's six of us. There are ten products.
08:14Do we take 15 minutes now, bang on, look at the A to Zs, and find some areas that suit...
08:19I actually disagree.
08:21I think that we should have a brainstorm in one group so that we keep this together, and...
08:26You see, I'd say, why don't we use the knowledge we've got in the room, discuss the products,
08:29and just say, right, tyres, where are we going to get those from?
08:31Because they may know.
08:32I don't... I really don't understand what we're doing here.
08:34I'm not... I've got to admit, I'm not clear.
08:37I think in that office, I knew what was meant to be happening.
08:41My understanding was that there was two teams who had been given a list of five items each
08:46to research, find a location to go and buy it, find a price.
08:51Within about ten minutes, that had disintegrated.
08:54I'm going to check it with Sharon in a minute.
08:55I think we need to stop, everyone, and just pay attention on what we're doing,
09:00because nobody's paying any attention to you.
09:03And just take your time, no rush.
09:04The boys' team, Invicta, appoints Saeed as project manager.
09:08He's got a clear strategy from the off.
09:10Keep in mind, guys, we have this office for two hours.
09:14We don't need to use it for two hours, OK?
09:16There's no way in the rules that says we need it for two hours.
09:18So, again, let's not spend too much time planning, because this is a negotiation skill.
09:22We're going to be running around London, so we need a lot of time out there.
09:26OK.
09:26OK, and that will run for our...
09:28Both teams must be back at the boardroom at 6pm.
09:31This is a race against time, so let's concentrate using the yellow pages,
09:35locating stores and shops at a smaller in-chain where we can go and we can, you know,
09:40manipulate, because that's exactly what we're doing.
09:42Secondly...
09:43Right, then, well, let's just get some further copy stuff.
09:45I've only got four items. Where's the fifth one?
09:47It's a silk...
09:47I've got it here, I've got it here.
09:48What is it? A tyre?
09:49Yes.
09:50Are you nailed on that?
09:50Yeah, I'm...
09:51All right, you've got a tyre, yeah?
09:52I've got cigars.
09:53I'm looking to buy a dinner jacket.
09:56Now, I only need the jacket.
09:59Make notes.
09:59We can call from the car, guys, we can call from the car.
10:01Just take notes.
10:03Let's get all the info.
10:04After an hour and a half, the boys are on their way.
10:09They split in two, each group responsible for different items on the list.
10:14The girls are showing no sign of being ready to leave on time.
10:20I think we should go product by product and then discuss possible suppliers.
10:26Ideally, telephone number.
10:27What I want is the product down here, the product, and then I want the names of where we're going, right?
10:33Yeah.
10:33Would you like to ask people to shout out so that I can populate this?
10:37Yeah, we can do it.
10:38Joe, I'm going to stop.
10:41Joe, I'm stopping.
10:42And I'm going to pack up.
10:43Yeah, let's pack up.
10:44It's not the end of the world.
10:45It's going to get on top.
10:46Right, girls, Ruth, Sharon.
10:47What we're going to do is collect our thoughts, get it all organised, and then we're going to leave here,
10:51and then we're going to have ten minutes taking stock on where we are.
10:54Ten minutes is nothing, just to work out what we're doing, OK?
10:56The tempo is so, and the energy, it was actually stressing me, and that's down to the leader.
11:02You lead by example, and if your leader's getting stressed and panicking, the team will get stressed and they'll panic.
11:11Everything the teams buy must be new, but across London, prices vary widely.
11:20The cheapest retailers for each item can be miles apart,
11:23and travelling between them will take up precious time.
11:28The teams must also negotiate the very best prices.
11:36Project manager Saeed heads for less affluent East London, where he grew up.
11:41The boys' strategy is to shop around before closing a deal.
11:45What we're doing right now, lads, is we're just basically getting all the cost prices, and we're earmarking shops.
11:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:51OK, so that we know, when we go for the clothes, we know we're getting the best price.
11:55Yeah, exactly.
11:57We are looking for a dinner jacket, and you mentioned a price this morning of £95.
12:04That's correct, yeah.
12:04Is that just for the jacket?
12:05That is just for the jacket, yeah.
12:06OK, and that's your list price on that.
12:09Yeah, that's it.
12:10Well, he's the man with the money, and you made it quite clear to me,
12:14I mean, really, we're looking to buy this at as close to £60 as we can.
12:18Well, unfortunately, I can't do that.
12:20Yeah.
12:20It's there now, it's on the shelf.
12:22I don't know.
12:23I mean, you said, if you don't mind.
12:25No, no, no, no.
12:28£70.
12:28I mean, can we push £70 for this?
12:31We could go somewhere near the base.
12:33I'm just thinking, if we can meet in the middle somewhere,
12:34then obviously that would be fantastic if we can.
12:36So if we can go for £70, we'll take it off your hands here.
12:38Definitely.
12:40Let me just check on this price.
12:41OK, OK, please, yeah, go ahead.
12:43Hang on a second.
12:44I mean, that would be great.
12:49Traditions of the Casbah in the market,
12:51it would go for £75, and I'd be happy if that's OK with you.
12:56£75 for that jacket?
12:57Yeah.
12:59The team stick to the agreed tactic.
13:02Negotiate hard, then walk away in search of a better deal.
13:05Do you mind if we come back later?
13:07Yes, it is.
13:08For a price of £75.
13:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:09The other half of the team head for London's upmarket West End
13:16to buy a length of silk.
13:19Paul decides that role-playing will help to drive prices down.
13:23I'm going to make up that we are...
13:25I'm getting married.
13:26Yeah.
13:26You're my best man.
13:27I'm going to get quite emotional,
13:28and I'm going to say, you know,
13:29it's just sad, I just can't believe that you've been able to stop this stuff
13:31because everyone's, you know,
13:32recommendation's going to really play it up, OK?
13:35I am.
13:35I had a quick chat to Sarah about trying to get some silk.
13:38I'd just like to introduce Paul.
13:40I'm getting married, so sorry about that.
13:43Broadwick silks.
13:46It's for my wedding, actually.
13:47Yeah.
13:47Yeah, I'm getting married, and thank you very much.
13:51So my wife, my partner, Kate,
13:53is going to be wearing a very similar colour to this,
13:55that's why it's quite important.
13:56Because I'm conscious as well that we've also got the buttonhole flowers.
13:59Yeah.
14:00And that's like...
14:01Are you in a black suit as well?
14:02Yeah, black suits, yeah, with...
14:03So you probably want to...
14:04Yeah, quite pinky gerberas.
14:06Do you know gerbera flowers?
14:06Quite the big, big flowers.
14:07Yeah.
14:08For the time being, then, what prices are they?
14:10They're £10.95 a metre.
14:12Because that's a lot we've seen as well.
14:16And a bit more than we're having to budget.
14:20What's the best price that you could do it for?
14:22£10.95 a metre.
14:23Do you mind if I go and ring Kate?
14:24I'm going to go and give her a quick call,
14:26and then I'll come back in in about two minutes.
14:29I'm getting married in a month's time,
14:31and I have to go and get some silk.
14:32Look, they must pay less than the shop's asking price.
14:35Failure to do so could lead to the team being fine.
14:39Could you work out your overall price, then, exactly?
14:41£69.35.
14:43£69 for cash?
14:44No.
14:44Are you married?
14:45I am, indeed.
14:46Oh, right, OK.
14:46What did your silk cost you?
14:48I bet you got it for cheaper than £70, didn't you?
14:49Funny enough, yeah.
14:51Or can't you just, you know,
14:53can I play the guilt trip and, you know,
14:54helping one man out to another?
14:56We've got one price.
14:57We do.
14:58Whether if someone comes in and buys 50, 60 metres...
15:01You can't just even drop 35p just so we can do silk, right?
15:04Well, please.
15:05I could drop 35p,
15:06but what's the point of dropping 35p?
15:08So you're spending 69,
15:10why can't, you know, you pay the 35p?
15:12It mean a lot to me.
15:13It mean a lot for £35?
15:15Yeah.
15:15If it means a lot to you to make the business, I'll do it.
15:17Is that OK?
15:18Let's finish on that, then, yeah?
15:19Thank you very much.
15:20Let's do it.
15:22Hopefully it's going to make you an over, yeah?
15:24Yeah, whatever.
15:26Might come back next year, mate,
15:27and get a different colour, you never know.
15:31Joe's team are still outside the stock exchange.
15:38What else do we think about?
15:41They are really rather stringing it out, actually,
15:43wasting a bit of time,
15:45even now, more than two and a half hours after.
15:48But I would have thought, with a fair wind,
15:51we'll be off in about ten minutes.
15:54Twenty minutes later,
15:56the girls are still drawing up an action plan.
15:58It's higher, 80s.
16:01Household is E3.
16:05It's nearly three hours after the briefing
16:07before they're finally on the road.
16:10And they also split into two groups.
16:13My name's Ruth, just to begin with.
16:14Ruth's half of the team
16:16head straight for a cigar shop in the city.
16:18Now, I need the best price
16:20that you can physically give me today on cash for those.
16:22The best price is £1.61.
16:25Right.
16:25We can't do £1.61 without that.
16:27I haven't got £1.61.
16:29Basically, the prices we charge in the shop
16:31are discounted quite heavily.
16:32We haven't got £1.61.
16:33We'll round it up to £1.60, but that's...
16:36Yeah, there we go.
16:37So you've got a discount, I feel like.
16:39But Ruth discovers
16:40that she's paying the same price
16:42as for a telephone order
16:43that includes a delivery charge.
16:45Can you knock the £2.50 off for me?
16:46Seriously, no.
16:47But you'd put that on if we're in Manchester.
16:49You're paying for the service, number one.
16:52One to one.
16:52Yeah.
16:53I'm not dealing...
16:54If I'm just taking an order on the phone,
16:57no time involvement.
16:59Yeah.
16:59So you're paying extra couple of good for me serving.
17:02We are, but at the end of the day,
17:03if I was doing it over the phone,
17:04you'd still have to outlay another £2.50.
17:06Yeah, but then the time spent on service...
17:09But actually...
17:10Time is money.
17:10To package and then put the £2.50 on
17:12actually costs more.
17:13If you could do those for £1.59, anything at all.
17:16Seriously?
17:17Time is money, you know that.
17:19It is, without a doubt,
17:19and it actually takes more time to package, deliver,
17:22than it does for me to stand here and buy.
17:24Oh, it doesn't.
17:25Seriously.
17:27Nothing at all.
17:28There's no margin there whatsoever.
17:30Seriously, we are...
17:32OK.
17:33You know we are buying at a great price.
17:35Thank you very much.
17:38Joe's half of the group are looking for saffron,
17:40and management consultant Alexa
17:42has volunteered to lead the first negotiation.
17:45I'm happy to do it.
17:46How confident are you?
17:48Scale of 1 to 10,
17:48how confident are you to do this first one?
17:50Well, do you want to do the first one, Joe?
17:52Answer the question.
17:53How confident are you feeling about doing it?
17:55I'll do it,
17:55but I mean,
17:56I could probably pick up some tips
17:58if I watch someone do the first one.
17:59I actually think Alexa would be good to do it,
18:04just because she's got a very softly spoken and soft.
18:06You know, you are.
18:07You're quite a soft manner.
18:09OK.
18:11Hello there.
18:12What are you looking for?
18:12My name's Alexa.
18:14What we're looking for today
18:15is 30 grams of saffron.
18:18So,
18:18at your normal price,
18:20would be £23.
18:22It is, yeah.
18:22And so,
18:23what sort of discount from that?
18:25After taking all the discounts out,
18:27I will charge you £20 for this 32 grams.
18:29That's quite a lot.
18:34Is there any way
18:35if we buy it here and now
18:36for £16,
18:38you would be happy to give us
18:39this saffron,
18:4030 grams,
18:41which will be 32 in the packs.
18:43OK, I will do that for you.
18:44Thank you very much.
18:46That's ever so good of you.
18:48Yeah, we've got it.
18:48Hi, Ruth.
18:49Can you hear me?
18:50Project manager Joe
18:51wants to clear all deals
18:52before they're closed,
18:54but news reaches her
18:55that Ruth's group
18:56are buying without her approval.
18:58They're buying things,
18:59but they've bought two things now.
19:06I don't mind them buying it,
19:07but what I need to be assured
19:08is that they're absolutely confident,
19:10like we three are now,
19:11that they've gone through
19:11all that decision-making process,
19:12and I don't feel that's happened
19:13on that £160.
19:14That's not good enough for me.
19:19The other half of Joe's team
19:21press on with buying
19:22their next item,
19:24silk.
19:25Is everyone happy with it?
19:26Paul paid nearly £70
19:28for his fabric.
19:29So what would be
19:30the best price
19:31that you could offer us
19:31today on this?
19:35You're £48.94.
19:37Now, OK,
19:37so if we're starting
19:38with £48.94,
19:40I really need to get
19:41some form of discount,
19:42the best price.
19:42Is there any way
19:43you could go down at all
19:44on that price, please?
19:45On that price,
19:46I can round it off
19:46to £45
19:47if you're paying in cash.
19:48£45?
19:49Could you do £40?
19:52That would make our day.
19:53It would.
19:55All right.
19:55Yeah?
19:56Great.
19:57At £40,
19:58it's nearly half
19:59what the boys paid,
20:00but they haven't cleared it
20:01with their project manager.
20:03I'm not happy.
20:04I'm not happy with that.
20:05It's not just...
20:06I know, I know, I know.
20:07It's just...
20:07Just don't be tuned.
20:09There's some traps
20:10you've got there.
20:13Hello?
20:14Oh, hi, Sharon, it's Joe.
20:16Listen, we're actually
20:17in a shop doing
20:18some negotiation
20:19at the moment.
20:19Can we call you back?
20:20It's not a good time.
20:21Sharon, listen,
20:22I understand that,
20:23but before you actually
20:24agree to the final
20:25buying price,
20:26can one of you
20:27just ring me
20:27because there's a few
20:28things that I just
20:28want to check
20:29before you actually
20:29agree to go ahead
20:30with it?
20:31Joe, this is not
20:32very professional
20:34at the moment,
20:34so we'll speak to you
20:35when we get out
20:35of the shop.
20:36Has the negotiation
20:37been completed?
20:37You can always move
20:38away from the main
20:39conversation.
20:40Can we just call you
20:40back in a minute?
20:42Yeah, before you
20:42agree to the final...
20:43Joe, we'll call you
20:45back in a second.
20:47Yeah, I appreciate
20:48that, Sharon,
20:48but if you...
20:48Thank you, bye.
20:52Bye.
20:56What's up?
21:00I just don't want
21:01there to be difficulty.
21:02Stop brooding, please.
21:06Don't be angry
21:07because that's going
21:08to really just wind
21:09them up.
21:09This is so important
21:10that we are cohesive
21:11as a team.
21:12No, it's just really,
21:13really important.
21:18But before long,
21:19Joe's back on the phone.
21:21Hello?
21:22Hiya.
21:23Can you just give us
21:23a rundown on what
21:24you've secured so far?
21:25You can't keep on
21:26phoning us when we're
21:27doing that, Joe,
21:27because it looks terrible.
21:28Yeah, Sharon,
21:29but the thing is,
21:30I don't know what
21:31process you're in,
21:32do I?
21:32So when I ring...
21:33I have to do the ring
21:35when I needed a PDO.
21:38We came out of it
21:39OK, because...
21:40Yeah, I did...
21:41We're not the same,
21:42OK?
21:42So what else have we...
21:43I told you that.
21:44I told you that
21:45four times
21:45and you still wouldn't
21:46let us go on with it
21:47so it held up.
21:48Yeah, OK, Sharon.
21:50We've got...
21:50Yeah, you went through.
21:51Can we do this, Luke?
21:52Through about the location,
21:54about me.
21:54Yeah, we actually...
21:55Hang on, Joe.
21:56Let us speak,
21:57first of all.
21:58We actually...
21:58I actually went
21:59through the process.
22:00Well, I could have got
22:00the copies of somewhere else,
22:01so that's...
22:02Yeah, hang on, hang on.
22:05Joe, Joe, let me just...
22:07Joe, Joe, let me just...
22:13Joe, Joe, let me just...
22:15Hang on, sorry.
22:19Hang on, we just got a note.
22:21Joe, Joe, we're missing, too.
22:29Sayid is still shopping around
22:31in the East End,
22:32a place he claims to know well.
22:34Sayid, how big is this?
22:36I mean, it's quite a way down,
22:38but, again, would you do the record?
22:39Five minutes up, five minutes down.
22:40All right.
22:42The plan is to buy all the items
22:44in the same place
22:45at the same time.
22:47The sink, sink.
22:49Stationary hardware, China.
22:51Excuse me, do you sell sinks?
22:53OK, thank you.
22:55OK, this is a entire shop.
22:56There's a place over there as well.
22:58Is there any place
22:59that you know
22:59that sell fresh lobsters around here?
23:01Fresh lobster.
23:02Because, obviously,
23:04you being the man...
23:05Fishmongers on the corner,
23:07end of the market.
23:08In the corner,
23:09there's some fishmongers, is there?
23:10The Georges place,
23:11the fishmongers we were trying to get to,
23:13they've closed?
23:14It's one o'clock.
23:16Yeah, well, OK,
23:17next time we come back here,
23:17we'll be closing off deals.
23:20It's one o'clock now, isn't it?
23:21Yes, it is.
23:22And you haven't bought anything yet?
23:23We haven't.
23:24We've earmarked the dinner jackets.
23:26We're having problems with the sink,
23:29which we're trying to solve now.
23:32A sink, a kitchen sink.
23:33A sink.
23:34Can you tell me where else I could go to?
23:36The sinks,
23:37anywhere around here in this location.
23:40Still empty-handed,
23:42they head back to the first menswear shop
23:44to buy the dinner jacket.
23:46Two, three, eighties.
23:48Manny's been told to improve
23:49on the £75 deal
23:51that's already been agreed.
23:52Guy, you're being unfair, right?
23:54No, no, no.
23:54I mean, I've already got 20 quid off.
23:56No, no, I know.
23:56This is what I'm trying to say to you, OK?
23:57I know what you're saying,
23:58but give me the full amount
23:59so I can buy it if I have to.
24:00I'm not going to walk out.
24:01Mate, OK.
24:02No, no, I understand.
24:02OK.
24:03I know you're fragile.
24:03I'll give you the full amount.
24:04No problem.
24:05I'll give you the full amount.
24:06What the guys are telling me to do now
24:07is beg, beg, beg
24:09to bring it down.
24:11I'm going to go in.
24:12I hate doing this.
24:14When people have been, you know,
24:15up front, I like to be up front back.
24:17I'm going to go in
24:18and I'm going to try to get
24:19some more money off him.
24:20But really, I think we've already
24:22got a great price for it.
24:23Yeah.
24:24Quite frankly, it's a bit annoying.
24:27We would like to grab this dinner jacket,
24:29but we are completely out of cash.
24:33Now, look, we agreed on £75.
24:37How close can you get to £65?
24:39£74.95?
24:43You know, it's...
24:45I'll leave it to you in a minute.
24:48Anyway, hold on.
24:50He...
24:51We're absolutely desperate.
24:54We're tired.
24:55Yeah, I know.
24:55We'd rather not have to go
24:57running around other shops
24:58where we can get cheaper quality,
25:00but for the price that we've got.
25:01Yeah, yeah.
25:02I just can't.
25:03I really can't.
25:03It's just, to be honest,
25:04it wouldn't be worth my while doing it.
25:06Yeah.
25:07£75.
25:07Yeah, I'm sorry.
25:08PM, I mean...
25:10Yeah, I mean, basically...
25:11Can you take us up to...
25:13We're running out of time, guys.
25:16But I think we should just...
25:17Anything off 75.
25:19We're saving a few pennies.
25:2073.
25:21Because, you know...
25:22You've got the £3 that I go to while you're on.
25:23I've got three pounds in here.
25:25I've got three pounds change.
25:2673?
25:27Can we say 73?
25:28Just to get an empty shop.
25:29Yeah.
25:30Hello, man.
25:32Joe's team are also searching for a dinner jacket,
25:36but prices in central London are too high.
25:39What sort of cost are we looking at for this?
25:40This one is £129 for the jacket alone.
25:43They're told to try Camden Market.
25:47Not an obvious location for buying formal evening wear.
25:51We'll be out of the corner.
25:52Catacombs, thanks.
25:53Thank you, I wish you help.
25:54Brilliant, thank you.
25:55Hello there.
26:00Hiya.
26:00Do you sell men's dinner jackets?
26:04Dinner jacket?
26:05You know, smart fit, yeah?
26:06Just down here?
26:07Yeah.
26:08Just in all the cargo place, yeah?
26:10Ruth's half of the team are having more success.
26:13They continue buying without getting Joe's approval.
26:16Right.
26:17We need to get stainless steel kitchen sink.
26:21Thanks.
26:22Weft cleaner.
26:22Do you sell kitchen sink?
26:23You can do it for a tenner, I'll take you.
26:25Done.
26:26Wow.
26:26Yeah, well done.
26:30Their efforts push the girls' team well in front of the boys.
26:33By mid-afternoon, they've bought six items.
26:37The boys have only got two.
26:39Where is this?
26:39Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, are we going down?
26:41What time is it?
26:41What number is it?
26:421.48.
26:43No, I think it might be that way.
26:44Let's keep going.
26:44Saeed's group are looking for cooked lobsters,
26:47and they're struggling.
26:48So we've got no idea where we would get those sort of items.
26:51Can you give us any ideas at all?
26:53Yes.
26:54No.
26:55All right, fine.
26:58The only place you should get some of that during the week would be something like the Harrods.
27:02Harrods?
27:03Yeah.
27:05All right, thank you.
27:05Right, let's go.
27:06All right, let's go.
27:07They're not sure where to go, or even what they're supposed to be buying.
27:10They look like frozen to me.
27:11They don't look cooked.
27:14Whole cooked.
27:14That's not cooked, is it?
27:17That's not cooked, is it?
27:17It doesn't look, oh, it doesn't look good.
27:19Mind you, it must be.
27:20Cooked meaning boiled.
27:21Yeah, boiled, yeah.
27:22Actually, you wouldn't be able to tell, would you?
27:23If it's on ice.
27:25Well, yeah.
27:26Yeah.
27:27No, that's not cooked.
27:28Because you cook them, and then you want to keep them fresh, no?
27:30For Joe's team, finding a dinner jacket in Camden Market is proving a wild goose chase.
27:40They leave with nothing except another tip-off, a menswear shop five miles away.
27:47So far, they've only bought one thing, and time is against them.
27:51Hello.
27:52How old is the man?
27:54How old is he?
27:55Who's he buying it for?
27:56You're buying it for?
27:56I am buying it because he has lost the one he would normally wear,
28:00and he needs, we need for tonight to buy a really cheap one.
28:02It has to be really the cheap one.
28:03Really cheap?
28:04Really the cheap.
28:04I know this is not.
28:05So you can, no, you can't do the right place.
28:07Is that the right place?
28:07Yes, great.
28:08You can't do the right place.
28:09We're all trying to get this jacket, please.
28:12Go on, Joe.
28:12Very cheap.
28:13Yes, please.
28:14Yeah, we need the cheap one.
28:14Can you tell me what you've got?
28:15Right, well, I'll bring it in.
28:17Okay.
28:17Thanks.
28:18Right, do you want to try it on?
28:20I'd like to have a little look, but it has to be single button, I think.
28:24Single button.
28:24Single button.
28:25Well, I'm only showing the button three.
28:27But we do have also a single button pair of fit.
28:30But of course, there's a more fashionable button three.
28:32Yeah, he wants, I don't know why he wants a single button.
28:34An old man, but he wants to be an old man.
28:36I don't know.
28:37But anyway, let's do what he wants, shall we?
28:40We'll be looking at, how much is this?
28:4185 pounds.
28:42How about if we said 75?
28:44No, not even 79, 95.
28:47You think, just not, you wouldn't even meet in the middle?
28:48No, I can't, I can't.
28:49You're tough.
28:51I thought you were going to be a bit softer than this, but you're pretty tough.
28:54If we can take it down to 80 pounds, would you be willing to shake my hand now and say
28:59for 80 pounds, you would sell that jacket to me?
29:01Yes, you look so nice.
29:04You will.
29:05I will.
29:05You're a star.
29:06Thank you very much.
29:07That's very good of you.
29:07We need to see the jacket, though.
29:09I've shaken your hand and I haven't even seen the jacket.
29:11It's been a long, drawn-out, and Karen still hasn't confirmed the jacket's in stock.
29:18Well, I haven't got a single bracelet, but I've got a double bracelet.
29:24Oh, no, we need a single bracelet, a single button.
29:26It looks like I ran out.
29:29Another dead end.
29:30Two and a half hours, and they've bought nothing at all.
29:33It's time they can ill afford.
29:42By late afternoon, Saeed is still on the hunt for red lobster.
29:47Cooked.
29:47They both need to be cooked.
29:49And, yeah, they need to be cooked.
29:51Basically, they need to be red.
29:53So, I mean, not obviously grilled or anything like that, just basically cooked.
29:56Okay, so they're not green or, you know, the original colour they come with.
30:03Finally, he tracks down a restaurant, but it's only got two of the three lobsters he needs.
30:10We've got five minutes to strike a deal.
30:12Let's get started.
30:13I have 15 pounds with me.
30:15That's all we've got left.
30:17Well, that's more or less what I've got left.
30:20Sorry, that's each lobster?
30:21No, that's for two.
30:22That's for two lobsters?
30:23That's for two lobsters.
30:24Right, okay.
30:25And as I said to you, I will promise to give you return business.
30:28I guarantee you, every person that I meet from now on, until I die, again,
30:33they will know where to come when they want a lobster.
30:36Okay, how's your health?
30:38Obviously, you can tell that I'm over here.
30:40We're talking the same language.
30:41You've only got to get one more person to come into my restaurant,
30:44and I've made whatever I've lost on two lobsters.
30:47Stephen, you've made me proud.
30:48That's exactly what I've got in mind, and we're doing good business.
30:52So, 15 pounds, I'll shake on that.
30:53Thank you for your time.
31:01After a fruitless tour of North London, Joe's group gets the dinner jacket.
31:06Jamie, do you have that?
31:0635, yes.
31:0875, Joe, that's fine.
31:09Let's get going.
31:10They've bought two things on their list.
31:12Ruth's group have picked up seven.
31:14There's still a car tyre to get, and it falls to Karen to find it.
31:20We've still got 40 minutes.
31:2240 minutes is grand.
31:23We'll be able to do it, Joe, don't worry.
31:25So, while we're on the way, can we just make a few teletapos?
31:28Just a check on this tyre.
31:29Sure.
31:30And I'll keep bloody nagging you to death about this.
31:31I apologise.
31:32I am nagging about this life.
31:35Hi there.
31:36I'm looking for a Goodyear Eagle MCT5 Chrysler Voyager tyre.
31:41Do you have it in stock?
31:45I know I'm having an absolute nightmare.
31:48I know it's really cheeky.
31:49It is really cheeky of me.
31:55With little progress, Joe decides to pass responsibility for the tyre to the other half of her team.
32:02Because otherwise, if we go back without this tyre, then we're doomed, all right?
32:05This tyre could mean the difference between winning or losing.
32:08OK.
32:08This is my own point.
32:09She's just said, us buying the tyre is the win or lose situation.
32:13Oh, no, don't fucking put that on me.
32:15That's what she says to us.
32:16That's what she says to us.
32:16That's not fair.
32:17No, that's not fair.
32:18I'm not having that.
32:19I mean, if we just work down the list, out of the ten things, we've got seven of them.
32:23I'd be very interested to know what they've been doing in the four or five areas that have been away from us.
32:28Saeed's team are up against it, searching for their last lobster.
32:40All right, restaurant.
32:41It's restaurant.
32:41You look left.
32:42I'm going to look right.
32:42OK.
32:43Any sort of seafood bar, anything?
32:44You're on.
32:45You're on.
32:45Yeah.
32:45Yeah.
32:52Where is it?
32:54Excuse me.
32:54Sorry.
32:55Cheers.
32:55Cheers.
32:55Cheers.
32:55Cheers.
32:55Cheers.
32:55Cheers.
32:55Cheers.
32:55Cheers.
32:57Cheers.
32:57Cheers.
32:57Cheers.
32:58Cheers.
33:00Hello, Saeed.
33:00Nice to meet you.
33:01It's gone.
33:02Sure.
33:02Yeah, the baseball situation is we need to purchase a lobster.
33:06Uh-huh.
33:06OK, usually I sell a whole lobster for 28 pounds if you're sitting down to eat in the restaurant.
33:11OK.
33:11Because you're going to take all the extra costs, 14 pounds is a deal.
33:14You know, 10 pounds is a deal.
33:1510 pounds?
33:16Come on, you don't buy it in six pounds for 10 pounds.
33:18I'll tell you why, because we are sticking to the budget.
33:19That's the only reason why.
33:20Oh, my God.
33:20Cash?
33:21Cash.
33:21Cash in hand?
33:22Cash in hand.
33:22Thank you very much.
33:24Thank you very much.
33:25I'm with you.
33:26Thank you, guys.
33:27Let's go, go, go, go.
33:33Left.
33:34Let's go, go, go, go, go.
33:37With less than an hour left, both teams are down to the final item on Sir Alan's list, a tyre.
33:52Returning to the boardroom without it will lead to a big penalty.
33:56Right.
33:57We need to go and get our tyre.
33:58Can we please keep to your schedule?
33:59It means that we have to leave the tyres, leave the tyres.
34:02I need to meet you there at 10 to 6.
34:04So what are you basically saying to me?
34:05If we can't get the tyre, we have to go?
34:07No, no.
34:08I'm saying get the tyre, but be very, very quick.
34:09Quick deal, out.
34:10All right, bye.
34:11Hi, Michelle.
34:12Hi.
34:13Right, we cannot get this tyre.
34:17But now us three are relying on you three to get that tyre because you've got spare time with them.
34:21I know, but please don't say, but please don't do it like this.
34:24Please don't say this is life or death and you're relying on us to do this.
34:26No, it wasn't our idea.
34:27You know, we're trying everything that we can.
34:30But that's what I'm just trying to emphasise about how important it is because you guys are the ones with the tyre and we're not.
34:34Yeah, okay, bye.
34:36What a fucking farce.
34:38What's happening?
34:39What does she want us to do?
34:40What the fuck does she want us to do?
34:47No, I want a tyre.
34:54We're going to get back to the boardroom for six o'clock.
35:08We will.
35:09We're going to do it.
35:10Paul's group head to a garage that has the tyre in stock.
35:14North way.
35:15North way.
35:16North way.
35:17Stop, stop, stop.
35:18There he is.
35:19Go, go, go, go.
35:21Ruth's half of the team are en route to a tyre shop near the boardroom.
35:25But with only half an hour to get it, they're lost.
35:28Oh, fuck.
35:29What's happened?
35:31Oh, shit.
35:32Right, just where is it?
35:34Fucking one, two, six.
35:35I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone.
35:37Shit.
35:38Dunn will lead the boys' final negotiation.
35:41Pound off.
35:42We literally need absolutely anything.
35:45He must drive down the £94 asking price or the team will be fine.
35:50No, 94.
35:51It just means a lot to me not to pay what you say you want.
35:54No, 94.
35:55Anything.
35:56Bottom line.
35:58Can you do me a big favour, please?
36:00I am.
36:01I've already done that.
36:02I know, I appreciate it.
36:0394 is bomb.
36:04I really don't want to pay first price for it.
36:07So anything.
36:08I'd shake you by the hand.
36:10Fair enough.
36:11Done.
36:13Right, let's get the man paid.
36:18It's me.
36:19We cannot get it.
36:21Right, well, we've got a tyre for you at Sloan Avenue, so you need to go to Sloan Avenue.
36:26We can.
36:27We can't.
36:28No, no.
36:29Why?
36:30We're going to miss the boardroom.
36:31Right next to the boardroom, we've got the name of a guy, he's expecting you.
36:34What?
36:35She don't want us to go to the boardroom.
36:36Hang on.
36:37It's quarter to six.
36:38She doesn't want us to.
36:39There's no tyre places within the facility.
36:41She's the project manager and if she tells us not to go back to the boardroom, we've got
36:44to listen.
36:45Let me call her back now.
36:46Tell her we've got ten minutes and there is no way we can get anywhere in ten minutes.
36:49Oh, shit.
36:50It'll take us ten minutes to get to the bloody boardroom on time.
36:52Shit.
36:53She's on the phone.
36:54Well, this isn't our call.
36:55It's a PM.
36:56She's got to go to us.
36:57Michelle, at the end of the day, if your leader is taking you in the complete wrong direction,
37:00I agree.
37:01You can't tell them.
37:02Tell them clearly what the facts are if they choose to ignore that.
37:07They'll have time.
37:08What's the MOT sign there?
37:09Have we got time though?
37:10That's the question.
37:11No, let's go.
37:12No, let's go.
37:13Oh, hello.
37:14Hello, what's this?
37:15Hey, hey, hey.
37:16Should we get out and run?
37:17Where the fucking Hannah is?
37:19I've got my heels.
37:20Hey, shall we just take our shoes off?
37:25I've got my heels off.
37:26Yeah.
37:27I've got my heels off.
37:28Yeah.
37:29Hang on, now we can have them.
37:30There's the girls there, look.
37:31Black girls?
37:32There's the girls there.
37:35They're struggling for something.
37:36Oh, they need something.
37:37Oh, come on!
37:39Oh, come on!
37:40We're putting up.
37:43Where is it?
37:44Michelle.
37:45Where the fucking hell?
37:46I'm not going to get light from me.
37:47Let's go.
37:48Sir Alan is expecting everyone in the boardroom at 6pm.
38:05The girls head back, without the tyre.
38:18The team started with a budget of £1,000.
38:31Whoever's come back with the most money will win.
38:35Hello, good evening.
39:04Thank you, sir.
39:05Let's get on with it, shall we?
39:07Margaret?
39:08I followed Invict around, and they bought all the ten items, and they came back with £326
39:20and a penny.
39:22Right.
39:23And Nick, the girls?
39:25Well, Velocity failed to buy the tyre.
39:29And your rules stipulate that the guide price, in this case of £90 for the tyre, plus a fine
39:37of £50, is added to their expenditure, so the total is £318.
39:44So, the boys win by £8.
39:45Well done.
39:46I've got a great treat lined up for you.
39:59I'm going to go to the races tomorrow.
40:00At Sandown, I've got you the best box there, with food and drinks laid on.
40:05Ladies, tomorrow you're going to come back to this boardroom.
40:09One of you is going to get fired.
40:11Okay?
40:12Everybody off.
40:13Thanks.
40:14Thank you, sir.
40:18I'm not sure that everybody was 100% behind Joe as a project manager, and I'd be very
40:35interested to hear what people say should we end up in the boardroom.
40:40The poorest member of the team, I would have to say, is Joe.
40:45She can't make decisions.
40:47She can't empower people.
40:49And she can't calm situations.
40:51She can't control her emotions.
40:53So, what happened in your day?
40:54I felt, on this task, that Joe was the person that did not perform the best as project manager.
41:01And, to be honest, I think it was Joe's fault this time that we lost.
41:06For my mind, we're all clear on what happened.
41:08I think we've got a view of what happened in the day, and it's just all down to the boardroom tomorrow.
41:12And it's shit, but it's just got to happen, innit?
41:15Next morning, the treat.
41:27It's the winner's enclosure for Saeed's team.
41:30So, how can I help you?
41:3226 pounds on number four.
41:3426 pound, win number four.
41:35Strudel, 8 to 1.
41:37Odds on favourite not to come back, Joe.
41:39Odds on favourite.
41:40Favourite.
41:41I bet a tenner on the nose if she ain't coming back.
41:43Yeah, Joe.
41:44No doubt.
41:45I agree.
41:46I can see it.
41:47Where?
41:48Down.
41:49Right here.
41:50Oh no, no, no.
41:51Where's lane four?
41:52Lane four.
41:53It's not lane four.
41:54Lane four.
41:55It's like athletics.
41:56Lane four.
42:00Here we go.
42:01Here we go.
42:02Come on.
42:03Come on.
42:04He's in.
42:05Miles went.
42:06Come on.
42:07Come on.
42:08Come on.
42:09Come on.
42:10Come on.
42:11Come on.
42:12Come on.
42:13Oh, man.
42:14Oh, man.
42:23Yes.
42:24Brother Allen's in the front.
42:25Brother Allen is killing.
42:26That's right.
42:27You chose the right lane.
42:28You chose the right lane.
42:29You chose the right lane.
42:30He's a natural.
42:31Quote of the day.
42:32Let's make sure we keep winning because treats work.
42:39Oh, yeah.
42:49For the losers, the boardroom beckons.
42:52One of them is about to get fired.
42:55Oh, he's the friend.
42:56He missed.
43:01Like me.
43:02Hello.
43:03I'll go.
43:04Jenny, can you send the ladies in, please?
43:06Yes.
43:08Hi, Joe.
43:09You as the team leader right?
43:10Yeah.
43:11right joe you was the team leader right yeah what would you doing for the first two and a half hours
43:23when i left you what was you what were you actually up to well we're actually up to um deciding what
43:28the um like i say um deciding how we're going to select the suppliers deciding on the groups
43:32deciding clearly what the strategy was all that time uh yeah because my belief is that it's really
43:37important to get that right before we get in the car but you spent two hours 40 minutes and the
43:41first thing in the morning strategizing yeah your team wasted another three and a half hours
43:47buying a bloody dinner jacket i absolutely agree that the um time in the morning was not well
43:53spent listen i mean there's a bit of um altercation i've heard of uh where you uh have said and i want
44:02to explore this you don't want any of your teams that went off separately to buy anything unless
44:07they speak to you is that right i did i i said that and then you ring in the middle of one
44:11negotiation i did yeah that was with you i tried to ask joe i says joe i'll call you back in a second
44:17i was quite assertive saying i will definitely phone you back but joe just wasn't listening i said joe this
44:23is really really unprofessional can you please just let us go just now and she just never let me go and
44:29then i just had to say joe i'm sorry but i'm putting the phone down i'm going what did you negotiate
44:33for sir island and negotiation is something that's new to me and well you say it's new to
44:37you do you mean it's in the kind of admission you're not very good at it well it's not my strength
44:41it's not my biggest chance what is your biggest strength creativity um creativity yeah i'd say
44:47yeah yeah i'd like to hear from you why you know why i should employ you i do try very hard i'll work
44:54well with the rest of the team members i am enthusiastic i've got a willingness to learn and
44:58try different situations and i'll do the very best i can well i'm sure you would do the very
45:04sometimes the very best is not good enough and alexa what i don't need is people standing in front
45:10of boards writing up strategy and all that stuff whilst yeah okay five ten minutes of it let's get
45:16our act together two hours forty bloody minutes of it is a bit too much when you've got only a ten
45:21hours to execute i completely agree with you i think um for me i would have preferred just a bit
45:26more of a quick blast on the flip chart planning up front but then moving on immediately into
45:31the task itself i see karen was you um anyway at all responsible for procuring the tyre
45:41was i responsible for it yeah whose responsibility was it to procure the tyre because the tyre was the
45:50thing that you know to use a pun let you down yeah it was our group stral and it was out the group
45:55a group no individual no there's got to be somebody who was leading the tyre negotiation
46:01so alan the person that's responsible for procuring the tyre knows who that person is
46:04well who is it so i'd hope that that person at this point who is it you're the team leader
46:08i don't know it is it's karen she knows that i was responsible for the tyre
46:13the group of three that were in that car were responsible for the tyre is that not true
46:18yeah but ultimately the responsibility was resting with you on the tyre okay why didn't we get the
46:24tyre can we un can we understand this now was it we ran out of time or was it you thought it was
46:29too expensive what was being offered or what we ran out you ran out nobody did make a decision
46:33no one would make a decision about what no jacket the reason spent too much time at the end of the
46:38day there's only one thing that is worse than making the wrong decision and that's not making
46:42one at all and the original thing we did was no you see the problem is we haven't talked this
46:47through properly you have got that completely wrong how many places did you go to negotiate
46:52the dinner team we went to one of them you one of them you sat there romancing with some old bloke
46:57from sicily didn't you for about 15 minutes until you around till you found out that he didn't actually
47:02have the bloody jacket anyway we're in for eight minutes yet i think it was a little bit longer
47:07than that actually and i normally like to get my facts right you see but the thing is i've nearly
47:12got six hours out of ten hours that you've got to do this task sixty percent of your bloody time
47:18was not actually out there talking and negotiating and driving directly to places that you knew
47:25had the stuff and she's placed putting the blame on you on the tyre i think you and you haven't
47:32explained to me why it's got nothing to do with you no i'm not taught i'm not saying it doesn't have
47:35anything to do with me i was part of a team of three i will not take full responsibility for the
47:41tyre sound because it was not fully my responsibility okay look you know the rules you know the rules now
47:47name them two people that are coming back in this boardroom with you because one of you will get
47:55fired you're you're a project manager you have to take a lot of responsibility yourself on this yeah
48:00i'm happy to do that but first i'd like to clarify are we judging people on their performance in this task
48:05that's none of your business quite frankly that's none of your business right i'm the one dishing
48:11out the job here so don't you start pontificating about other tasks here you're responsible for this
48:17task and your job is to tell me who didn't perform on this task okay don't don't start drifting off onto
48:25other things i'm not going to debate that with you all right
48:31what do you mean to tell me since since last night you you still haven't got a clue
48:47what's going on you've had the benefit of a whole night
48:51karen and alexa karen and alexa okay i'll call you back in when i'm ready for you
48:57the point i was trying to make is the strategic meeting for two hours 40 minutes in the
49:15at the stock exchange afterwards was supposed to a identify which vendors had the merchandise and
49:23b what the location is and it that you know you've got a bloody minicab driver could work that out
49:28he can come from timber bloody too you just need a map where is this where is that where is this
49:33this is the logical direction that we're going to go
49:36okay um jenny will you send the three ladies in please
49:56i want to hear from you why isn't it your fault
50:10um the reason why it's not my fault on this occasion is that because we did split into two teams
50:17and um one of the teams performed exceedingly well um so in line not the one that you were with yeah
50:24it does seem a bit strange um more than strange sorry more than strange so you're taking credit
50:29for the success of the other half of your team the ones you were not with that's correct if the
50:34strategy was flawed how did one team do it and how did the other team not do it and if i if this
50:38was my um the whole task would have failed you were with the bloody team that didn't do it yeah i
50:43mean you know i i could i could i could take that argument if you were with this team you're singing
50:47the praises i accept that but you were with the bloody team that didn't do it i accept that let's
50:52start from another angle shall we what's she doing in there what's she doing here alexa's doing here
50:56because over the i i think we need to see more from alexa alexa there is a way there is a kind of a
51:03demeanor there is a posture upon which people negotiate i'm wondering whether you've got that
51:08in you have you got that in you you know what's coming feeding being fed back to me is is that it's
51:13a bit amateurish it's a bit childish it's a bit little girlish no i've got no doubt that i've got
51:18that ability and i i don't think my approach is amateurish i see why shouldn't i fire you
51:25because i've got an awful lot to offer i think i don't know you i don't know if you have you see
51:29i don't know if you have because i do not need strategists you know i don't need lecturing to
51:34i need doers right someone goes out sells buys sorts things out gets things organized yeah no that's
51:42what i enjoy doing i think i haven't done it very well have you well i haven't had enough of a
51:46chance to show myself three weeks here you know and i think i have contributed a lot during those
51:51tasks i think i'm not about just strategy yes i like to have a plan in place you better not be
51:58just about strategy you wouldn't have a chance with me i can tell you what's she doing in it what's
52:02she doing it karen's here because fundamentally i believe that the tire did let us down yesterday
52:06was she responsible for getting the tire or not yeah i did keep asking karen throughout the day
52:11because we were i was concerned about the tire is she lying i was not responsible for getting
52:17let me just explain the reasons why we're responsible for getting the time we all share
52:21collective responsibility but the reason why i feel this is so important is because i was nervous
52:26about the time i kept saying to karen please make sure you know this because what was i was nervous
52:31about was the price that they were to be honest i did keep i was like a rock vial i keep saying to
52:36karen please assure me this time you know you need to make sure because it's a critical item please
52:40make sure that this is going to happen this tire
52:43karen do i need another corporate lawyer no i don't why shouldn't i get rid of you today
52:50i've shown mr allen in the last three tasks that i can do and perform the skills that you're looking
52:57for what i actually do dirty your hands absolutely dirty my hands i've shown who should be fired then
53:02out of that you're going to say to her are you you're going to you're going to point straight
53:06to her right if you're talking about responsibility for the reason the task fails it has to come down
53:11to the planning as a team as a project manager you have to take responsibility who should get fired
53:17i have to say joe then who do you think should be fired i have to say joe just because i don't
53:22think there was enough no looking good right joe you do have this determination you do have this
53:29this forthrightness you do have qualities of selling you clearly got qualities of buying
53:33i just don't know if you're just a bloody nutter that's the problem right that's the problem because
53:40i love people with spirit you put yourself forward as the team leader you have to convince me because
53:47you are very very close to that door over there don't flannel me with kind of like a machine gun
53:53rat-a-tat you tell me why i should leave you here so alan let me put it this way okay i didn't come
53:58into this boardroom today putting myself in this risky position i accept the fact you're in a very
54:02risky position i know i am firstly most importantly i stepped up when i knew that half the team were
54:07fundamentally against me i knew that anyway um secondly i believe that if it's fundamentally
54:12flawed then everything would have failed and it didn't
54:15i've got to make a decision here
54:23karen i'm having difficulty understanding the tire issue i'm having difficulty understanding
54:33you did know where the stuff was you did know the locations and then you tell me you don't know the
54:38locations as a lawyer as an articulate person trained to be articulate you have not clarified i i haven't got
54:44clarity on that from my point of view
54:49alexa i'm very concerned about you being a bit weak for what i require
55:00however you are the team leader and you sat in that car with these two and you're telling me that
55:09one of these two should go that i can't get my head around the last boardroom you said don't let me
55:14down right the team criticized me for my emotion and crying and since then i have i believe that i
55:20have not let you down and i won't can i make a point sir alan i do not believe that i'm weak
55:24quite the contrary and i really need to be given that opportunity i believe to show myself in project
55:30manager role so that i can show you what i can do all right you got it okay
55:37you're staying you've spoken up for yourself so have you i like people who stick up for
55:42themselves that's what it's all about i've heard nothing from you karen you haven't stood
55:46out for yourself i don't need more corporate lawyers you're fine
56:16that's a really hardest thing i've ever had to do hardest thing i've ever had to do
56:28alexa fought for a corner i like that i like that the other one is start raving bloody mad but
56:34so am i don't let me down right i don't need another lawyer margaret sorry i got you if that's
56:41not bad enough i mean you know you couldn't sell a box of matches if you tried but you're very good at
56:46what you do do but she she claims she's trying i'm sorry she had to go nice lady but she had to go
57:04i don't think that was a fair decision he talked at length about why joe and alexa should go they
57:11were given their chance to speak up i don't think they particularly defended their own positions
57:16yet they're about to go back to the house and i've been fired and i find that really yeah pretty
