00:01This is a job interview from hell.
00:04I've been in business for 40 years. Your prize is working with me.
00:10From across the country, 16 tycoons of tomorrow have come to London.
00:15Don't start telling me that you're just like me, because no-one's like me. I'm unique.
00:21They're here to compete for a job with a six-figure salary,
00:25working for Britain's most belligerent boss.
00:29This is outrageous. You haven't got a bloody clue. Not a bloody clue.
00:34Famously hard to please, Sir Alan Sugar controls a vast business empire
00:40worth over 800 million pounds.
00:43Once again, he's on the hunt for an apprentice.
00:47It's up to you. You open your bloody mouth or I'll fire the bloody five of you if I have to.
00:52I don't give a shit.
00:54To land their dream job...
00:56..the candidates will have to live...
01:00If you don't perform, you're out. Simple as that.
01:03..and work together.
01:05Please don't send me a message. I am.
01:06Just let me get on with what I'm doing and we'll win the task.
01:08This is far too much for us.
01:13But there's just one job.
01:16You're fired. You're fired. This was a total disaster. You're fired.
01:20Previously on The Apprentice.
01:31You're gonna come up with your own special occasion.
01:35The candidates went into the greeting card business.
01:38My idea is the environment.
01:40Team leader Kevin got evangelical about Jenny's save the planet theme.
01:44Go out, buy a card, read up on some facts and start making a difference.
01:48Michael's team opted for National Singles Day.
01:51So we're celebrating the day of people that are actually single.
01:54Come on the singles.
01:56Come on the singles.
01:58Pitching to national retailers, Kevin got on his green soapbox.
02:02434 million tonnes worth of rubbish is thrown away each year.
02:11In the boardroom, Michael's team delivered winning sales figures.
02:15Come on!
02:16What are you talking about?
02:17Come on!
02:18This is not a football match.
02:19I apologize.
02:20And Kevin's eco-card was binned.
02:23People don't send cards to politically preach to people.
02:27Then the whole team rounded on Sarah.
02:29I think Sarah should be fine.
02:31Nothing was delivered from Sarah throughout the course of the first date.
02:34I'm wise enough and old enough to know when people are ganging up on somebody.
02:38But it was Kevin who was returned to sender.
02:41As team leader, I hold you totally responsible.
02:45You're fired.
02:47Now ten remain to fight for the chance to become...
02:51The Apprentice.
02:547am.
02:55The candidates are up, waiting to hear from Sir Alan.
03:16Good morning.
03:17Sir Alan would like you to pack for a two-day business trip to Morocco.
03:20Really?
03:21The cars will be with you shortly to take you to the airport.
03:25Guys, we're going to Morocco!
03:28Unbelievable!
03:29We're leaving in an hour, okay?
03:31So pack yourself a two-day business trip!
03:37It's not going to be scorching, but it's going to be fairly hot.
03:40So should we take our big jacket?
03:41So, you know, I think things like black suits and ties are probably going to be fairly redundant.
03:47Just normal business attire.
03:49Toiletress.
03:50Toiletress.
03:51Toiletress.
03:52And then that's it.
03:53It's the African colours.
03:54It's like linen, you know, kind of.
03:55But if we don't have that, it's not a problem.
03:57Have you got a linen suit?
03:58I do, but not here.
04:00I have a linen suit as well, but not here.
04:02Um...
04:11For the ten remaining candidates, an 11.30 flight to French-speaking shopping capital of Morocco, Marrakesh.
04:19Ooh, fun and games.
04:22Je pense à nous.
04:24Allez, le français!
04:25Allez, le français!
04:26You're shit, I finish.
04:27I want you.
04:32Marrakesh.
04:336am.
04:39They've got 30 minutes before Sir Alan's briefing in the gardens of the hotel.
04:52Oh, wow!
04:54Je voudrais un petit déjeuner.
04:57Déjeuner, déjeuner!
04:59Où est mon déjeuner?
05:01Margaret and Nick are here, but Sir Alan is in London.
05:08Well, good morning.
05:10I classify Marrakesh as the bargaining capital of the world.
05:14I've come up with ten items that I want you to go out and buy.
05:18And it's very simple.
05:20The team that spends the least amount of money on these ten items is going to win.
05:24And when you negotiate with these guys, I've got to tell you, you accept the first price they offer you, you've got to be the biggest mug on this planet.
05:31They'll eat you for breakfast.
05:33They'll chew you up and spit you out and won't even know they've missed anything.
05:37Get back to the hotel, 6.30pm tonight, where you're going to meet Nick and Margaret.
05:42And there, they will tell me which team has won.
05:46And they'll also tell me the team that has lost.
05:49And in that team, one of you will be getting fired.
05:53Jennifer McGuire and Michael over to Renaissance and Sarah to Alpha.
06:00Lee and Jennifer, you haven't been project managers before, so you're going to lead the teams today.
06:06In their new line-ups, the two teams get maps, tourist information and detailed descriptions of the ten items they must buy.
06:16Sorry, what is that? Anybody have any idea?
06:19Oh, I've got one. I've seen these. Plenty of these, yeah.
06:23Berber bedspread, white with square pattern and silver sequins.
06:27No way, they are specific.
06:29What else? Kosher chicken.
06:31Is that Jewish?
06:33Well, let's have a look at what we need to get first of all.
06:35Project managing for the first time, marketing consultant Jennifer.
06:40We can chat in the car as well. How long is it from here, Claire?
06:43Do you not also think that we should use the phone, that we call some people and find out where we can...
06:48So we've at least got one port of call where we can find each thing.
06:51But the market will be open quite early, right?
06:53I would just like to get going and get things as quickly as possible.
06:56There's some numbers to get in the face, yeah.
06:57Yeah, and, you know, it'll...
06:59It'll be good for us to get the marbles out of our mouth as well, with the French and with the negotiation, all that kind of stuff.
07:04Could I just... Could I just... Could I just...
07:05I just want to get there, let's do a quick recce, see what we got, and then we'll go from there.
07:10Also, project managing for his first time, recruitment sales manager, Lee.
07:14Okay, guys, yeah, I've never been to Morocco or Marrakesh, yeah, so I'm going to be heavily involved with people that have.
07:19You have.
07:20I think getting into the local garb and making us, you know, not stand out as, you know, as guys from abroad would make a huge difference.
07:29No matter how you dress me unless I've got...
07:31As soon as you open your mouth...
07:32As soon as you open your mouth, they're thinking, are these people taking the pee?
07:35Yeah.
07:36It's just a suggestion.
07:37Once we get on the phone and we start talking to local businesses or...
07:40Before they leave the hotel, Lee insists they pinpoint the places the items can be found.
07:45We need to find a Jewish area for kosher.
07:47Because it's a Muslim country, it's not going to be widely available.
07:50Are they not open?
07:52I'm going to ask you, where am I likely to find it?
07:54Do you sell it in your shop?
07:56What I've recognised straight away is the fact that I'm going to be with Lucinda and Sara, who, feedback-wise, on other tasks of have they pulled their weight, have they not?
08:05My judgement will be made once I've finished this task today.
08:08Are we ready to win, Team Alfie?
08:10That's what we're ready to win.
08:11Ah!
08:12Ah!
08:13Ah!
08:14Come on, man.
08:15We're ready to win.
08:16Smiles in your faces.
08:17That's what I'm talking about.
08:22The souk.
08:23The main market in Marrakesh.
08:25And one of the biggest in North Africa.
08:28Here we are.
08:29Here we are.
08:30Here we are.
08:31Grouped into sections selling typical North African goods, the souk's...
08:37The souk's are a five-mile maze of over 3,000 shops and stores.
08:42Oh, God, there's some snakes.
08:45Oh!
08:46For a million pounds, even if Sir Alan said, Claire, kiss that snake or touch that snake, I'd have to say I'm sorry.
08:54I'd rather kiss you.
08:56Don't, honestly, I hate them.
09:00Less than two hours after the briefing, Jennifer is almost ready to hit the streets.
09:06Who is our phone?
09:07It's in there.
09:08Oh, hang on.
09:09Oh, who's here?
09:10Oh, no, who's got it?
09:11I haven't got it.
09:12I haven't got a phone.
09:13Oh, that's gone.
09:14Why don't we split up in our teams?
09:15Actually.
09:16Yeah.
09:17Go and find some, erm, and just ask some questions.
09:19One bit over there does one thing, that bit over there does another one, so we need to know where the bits are that we need to go to.
09:24I just want to get in there and kind of feel it out as we go along, because it's a bit of a race against time.
09:30See you later.
09:31Bye.
09:32Good luck.
09:33See you in a bit.
09:34Look, they've got chicken.
09:35He's got chicken here.
09:36Why don't we ask him where his chicken's going?
09:38Hello, my friend.
09:40Team leader Jennifer heads into the market with Claire and Alex to find half the items on Sir Alan's list, sending Jenny and Michael north to seek out the rest.
09:51Guys, I know we're going to look for the slippers and the die, but there's a load of blankets down there, so just so for us to make a...
09:58Just make a mental...
09:59Yeah.
10:00OK.
10:01At the moment, I don't feel that we do have a strategy, and they're just going to go in like a headless chicken.
10:09Before you know it, you've bought a product that you could buy cheaper down the road if you'd have just been a bit more focused in what you're doing.
10:15Yeah.
10:16No, the juicer, the...
10:17The machine.
10:18Shh.
10:19The juicer.
10:20Despite a lack of research, Jennifer's half of the team stumble across their first item, a Santos orange juicer.
10:27But let's say you pretend that you're a couple and you both go up.
10:29Yeah.
10:30And you walk away.
10:31Yeah.
10:32They know the woman, you know, in the house has a final say.
10:34Yeah.
10:35It'd be a lot easier for him to negotiate.
10:36Yeah.
10:37So why don't we try that?
10:38Yeah, try it.
10:39Good idea.
10:40Do you think he can act as a couple?
10:43OK.
10:44Bonjour.
10:45Alex, how long have we been going out?
10:47Seven years.
10:48Why haven't we got married yet?
10:50Go on.
10:52I really, really want that one.
10:54The juicer is one of the more expensive items on Sir Alan's list.
10:59How many?
11:001200 dirhams.
11:011200.
11:02Oh, no.
11:03It's too cher.
11:05Asking price, 1200 dirhams, 75 pounds.
11:09Target price, half that.
11:11That's too expensive.
11:12Yeah.
11:13Too expensive.
11:14We have six.
11:15600.
11:16No, no.
11:17Prefix.
11:18Six pounds.
11:19Alex, I'm going outside.
11:22OK.
11:23OK.
11:24OK.
11:25We don't have 1200.
11:26We've got 600.
11:27No, no, no.
11:28We can do 600.
11:30No, no.
11:31Prefix.
11:32I really want that juicer.
11:34I have 1,100.
11:36No, prefix.
11:38You're welcome.
11:39It's 1,100.
11:40All right, OK.
11:41Alex and Claire's double act only gets a pound discount off a 75 pound juicer.
11:48God, you have to keep that one on a range, don't you?
11:50I haven't worked for her in a long time, and I remember now what she's like.
11:53I think we...
11:54I truly think we should just leave it one person negotiating.
11:57Yeah, correct.
11:58Because that didn't work, I don't think.
11:59There's too many people.
12:00Yeah?
12:01They've got some cactus over here.
12:02Do you think it's worth asking them if they know any blue cactus?
12:04Just do one thing at a time.
12:0811.30am.
12:10After staying back to call traders, Lee's half of the team are on their way to the souk.
12:16Yeah, alarm clock, yeah, alarm clock.
12:20Raif and Helen set off to find a one-meter cowhide with a tail.
12:24This to me is just, you know, grass roots negotiation.
12:28You know, this is as dirty...
12:30This is as it gets.
12:31As it gets.
12:32Guided by their research, Lee heads straight to the electrical market for a green plastic mosque alarm clock.
12:39Because Allahu Akbar...
12:41How?
12:42Show me.
12:43Yeah, wait.
12:44For this clock, lovely.
12:48Allahu Akbar wakes us up for namaz.
12:50300 dirhams.
12:51The shopkeeper wants 300 dirhams, 20 pounds.
12:55In UK, it's not 300 dirhams.
12:58It's very less.
12:59300 is too much.
13:00Too much, madam.
13:01What do you want more?
13:02And why do you give such a high price?
13:04There's not a high price.
13:05Believe me, there is a gift.
13:07The gift means for free.
13:09No.
13:10My people, they bust me.
13:12I cannot be happy for 200.
13:13May I take the bulon?
13:14Of course.
13:15Same thing.
13:16Okay, so same thing.
13:17Negotiations stuck, they walk away.
13:20Okay, thank you very much.
13:27Ah, this is it.
13:28Yeah.
13:29Deep inside the souk, project manager Jennifer and her half of the team stumble across the textile market and the sequined Berber bedspread.
13:38Is that Berber?
13:39This is a Berber.
13:40I'm going to give my mate you up.
13:41Yeah, me too.
13:42Jennifer wants Claire to drop the double act, keep quiet and let Alex negotiate.
13:47Right.
13:48Okay.
13:49Are you sure?
13:50How much is this?
13:51That one is 3,000 dirhams.
13:54We haven't got 3,000 dirhams.
13:57We have 1,000 dirhams.
13:59Your price is too low, my price.
14:01It's too high.
14:02Too high.
14:03It's a little high, not too high.
14:04No, it's too high.
14:05At least we admit it.
14:06So, at the end of the day, you're going to sell the rug.
14:09I'd rather buy it here than have to go somewhere because I'm tired and I want to go home.
14:14My feet are killing.
14:15I've worked in sales all my life and the first rule is never jump in on someone's sale.
14:22Halfway is 1,500.
14:23We do 2,500.
14:24How much?
14:252,500.
14:262,500.
14:27I can't afford it.
14:28Do it at 2,000.
14:29Do it at 2,000.
14:30Do it at 2,000, yeah?
14:31It's...
14:32Negotiations turn into a three-way debate.
14:35Alex has to settle at 2,000 dirhams, 60 quid more than he aims to pay.
14:40Can we have a receipt, please?
14:41Do you want to smile?
14:43We need to stick to what we said before.
14:46Yeah.
14:47One person negotiate.
14:48Yeah.
14:49OK.
14:5612.30pm.
14:57Project manager Lee and the girls are still hunting for a deal on the green mosque alarm clock.
15:03Yeah, hi.
15:04Ralph speaking.
15:05We've just tried to negotiate on the clock and we walked away from it because the guy was
15:08taking the piss.
15:09OK.
15:10Have you bought anything, Lee?
15:11No.
15:12OK, now it's the things that are...
15:14Alarm clock?
15:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:17Just bring them over, man.
15:18We'll look at them.
15:19Open look.
15:20No, green.
15:21Green, green.
15:22No, no, no, no, no.
15:23No, pink.
15:24Thank you very much.
15:25We have to find this now.
15:28I'm getting worried.
15:30I think we're going to be able to do this quite quickly, so you must let us know if there
15:37are any items you can't get that we can get.
15:42I'm an extremely arrogant person.
15:44Someone came up to me and said, you're arrogant.
15:46I said, you're 100% right.
15:48I am arrogant and what are you going to do about it?
15:50That's the way I am.
15:52Jennifer has sent Michael and Jenny north to find the metre-long cowhide with the all-important
15:58tail.
15:59This is great.
16:00This is cowskin, yes?
16:01Yes.
16:02But I need one with tail.
16:03Tail?
16:04We have very, very little money.
16:06Very, very small.
16:07You have to bargain the price.
16:08Even if you want to buy tomatoes, we bargain the price.
16:11OK.
16:12So that's 2,500 dirhams.
16:14This is far too much for a cowhide.
16:16How can you expect us to pay this much?
16:172,500 for a cowhide that's got holes in it?
16:20We can't pay that.
16:21We can go anywhere to buy this for cheaper than one thing.
16:24Yes.
16:25No problem.
16:268.25, no more than this.
16:288.25, yeah?
16:31OK.
16:32A cowhide at £50, a third of the asking price.
16:35Well done, though, Michael.
16:37Fantastic.
16:38Hello.
16:39For Lee's team, Rafe and Helene, also hunting for a cowhide, are at the tannery where skins
16:47are processed.
16:48Right, OK.
16:51OK.
16:52OK.
16:53So this is where they make the skin.
16:57That's good, but can we buy it?
17:00OK, we like that.
17:04How much do you want to give?
17:06We're looking...
17:07Well...
17:08The other man said 800, but it's still too expensive.
17:11We're looking...
17:12250.
17:13How much?
17:15250.
17:16250?
17:17250.
17:18250.
17:19250?
17:20250.
17:21250?
17:22250.
17:23250?
17:24250.
17:25OK.
17:26Let me just check.
17:2750.
17:28Sorry, sorry.
17:29250?
17:30250.
17:31Dirhams?
17:32Yes.
17:33Rafe gets a hide for just £15.
17:36Look at the picture.
17:37But his project manager, Lee, hasn't bought a thing.
17:40Only one person has this clock in the whole of Marrakesh.
17:43Not possible.
17:44Still in need of the mosque clock, it's back to the stall holder they first met over three
17:49hours ago.
17:50Give me your best price and we purchase the clock for you today.
17:52OK.
17:53We don't want to pay 200?
17:54No.
17:55Give 250.
17:56Boss, man, you're breaking my balls.
17:57Believe me, it is a gift.
17:58We know we can source the clock for 100.
18:00Forget it.
18:01You are not a businessman.
18:02Forget it.
18:03150 for the cash.
18:04Yeah?
18:05OK.
18:06OK.
18:07We have a purchase.
18:09A £10 clock, their first purchase of the day.
18:12We walked round the soup for three hours and then we had to go back and still buy the
18:17fucking clock.
18:18We bought one product and you bought one, yeah?
18:21So we bought two products.
18:22We've located a Jewish area, so we're going to find the chicken.
18:26Next on the list, one and a half kilos of kosher chicken.
18:31That means a chicken butchered under rules of the Jewish faith.
18:36And their research pinpointed this, the Marrakesh Jewish Quartet.
18:41Go to the church and she wants to hold on the stuff up.
18:43No, mate, these are live chickens, man.
18:45Hold on, we need to ask someone for a good job.
18:48Good job.
18:49Good job.
18:50Good job.
18:51Jewish?
18:52You speak English.
18:53You are Jewish.
18:54I love you.
18:55We need to buy some kosher boulé.
18:57We are Jewish, yeah?
18:58Oh!
18:59Come on, that's what I'm talking about.
19:00Pallé vous le anglais?
19:02No.
19:03In the Muslim heart of the souk, Jennifer's found plenty of chickens.
19:09But kosher they are not.
19:12Anyone can't bless a chicken, right?
19:14It has to be a holy...
19:15Who blesses the chicken?
19:16A holy man.
19:17A holy man.
19:18Right, OK.
19:19And you find a holy man and a mosque.
19:20Is a mosque far from here?
19:22No, not really.
19:24I don't think it's appropriate to take chicken into a mosque.
19:26Oh, God.
19:29Oh, look, his head's getting chopped off.
19:31There are thousands of chickens here.
19:33Most of them are still alive.
19:34So I suppose they could be killed and blessed in a kosher way.
19:37But there aren't very many rabbis in this part of Marrakesh.
19:40Am I being stupid that kosher chicken is Jewish?
19:43And this is a Muslim country?
19:45So...
19:46Or do Muslims have kosher chicken?
19:47Muslims have kosher.
19:48Do they?
19:53Foxed, Jennifer hands the hunt for the kosher chicken
19:56to Jenny and Michael.
19:59Excusez-moi...
20:00Er...
20:01Poulet.
20:02We want to get chicken.
20:03Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark.
20:05It's just mental.
20:07Ha, ha, ha!
20:10Monsieur, we want a chicken from you today.
20:13OK.
20:14OK.
20:16No, stop, stop, stop.
20:17Don't kill the chicken yet.
20:18Oh, stop.
20:19Oh, stop. Stop. The chicken, I have to have it blessed by somebody from the mosque so that it is kosher.
20:28It needs to be kosher. It needs to be kosher.
20:30Religious, that chicken, like this. Halal. Halal chicken.
20:35This halal. Is it halal? No, no, no.
20:37No, not halal. Oh, can you make it halal?
20:42Oh, bless it.
20:43I want a chicken. I want it blessed by somebody from the mosque.
20:49No, it's from the mosque, yes. That's the mosque.
20:52That is the mosque? Have they come from the mosque?
20:54He prays. He prays for it? Yes, he prays.
20:57He prays. Can you say the word to Allah?
21:00Allah, Allah, Allah. Allah.
21:04Allah.
21:06Sir Alan has warned the teams he'll find them for every item that doesn't meet his exact specification.
21:12Two down, two to go.
21:14Get in.
21:14For example, the mosque alarm clock must be green.
21:20No, I don't have. So, 50?
21:2250, yeah.
21:22With batteries?
21:24With batteries, yeah.
21:24OK, thank you.
21:26Excuse me.
21:27These are the things which you cook the tagine in.
21:29Next on the list, a set of three top-of-the-range, a-cow-branded tagine serving dishes.
21:36That is red china. That is red. We need the size, the right model number D23.
21:40If they're genuine, they should cost about 50 pounds, 800 dirhams.
21:46100.
21:46We'll do 100. We'll do 100.
21:48100.
21:49OK.
21:50OK, 100. OK.
21:51Merci.
21:52A lot of the places, they were asking for a 360, ran the 360 mark, and we got it for 100.
21:57Hey, carry on.
21:58I can't believe it. They've just bought three tagine.
22:01They haven't checked whether they're the right brand. They're not.
22:04They've completely missed that. They've paid no attention to the detail. It's very poor at this stage.
22:092.30 p.m. Four hours left. Both teams work through Sir Alan's list. No time to stop.
22:20I know. 700?
22:23Yes, 700.
22:24Lee's team have five items to buy.
22:27We can do this.
22:30Jennifer's team, just three.
22:32These are quite grey.
22:35I don't know, quite grey.
22:41Lee and the girls hit an upmarket shopping district, hunting for two branded tennis rackets.
22:48Ah!
22:49Oh, God!
22:49But the other team has got there first.
22:59Hi, mate.
22:59Oh, my God, the clever people. They're already here.
23:02They're in there. They're in there.
23:04Bonjour.
23:041,800, you have a deal.
23:06Thank you very much. Thanks a lot.
23:09Hi, Lucinda.
23:09Hello.
23:11Hello, are you the manager?
23:13We understand, obviously, that you have the tennis rackets that we want.
23:16Our friends have told us about you because you gave them a good discount.
23:18So we also would like, but a slightly better discount.
23:21Okay, no problem.
23:22Okay?
23:23Did you choose your racket?
23:24Sir Alan, a keen tennis player, has specified the rackets must be medium-strung.
23:32String the rackets tomorrow, I say.
23:34I cannot string the rackets today.
23:36Why?
23:36Why?
23:37We could pay you 10 tarums, 20 tarums, if you make the machines break.
23:44Come.
23:47I'll give you money.
23:48I don't, with this string, yeah?
23:51No, I've eaten in there.
23:53Okay?
23:54But you, no, we need to speak to her.
23:56We don't want them to have their tennis rackets today, and we're very happy to pay you
24:10to delay the return of the tennis rackets to them until tomorrow.
24:15Okay.
24:16I'll give you money.
24:17I don't need this.
24:20Okay.
24:21The other team have turned up, and we've tried to prevent them from buying tennis rackets,
24:27so we've been involved in espionage.
24:30How long does it take to string a racket?
24:32I don't know.
24:33I don't know.
24:34I don't know.
24:35I don't know.
24:36I don't know.
24:37I don't know.
24:38I don't know.
24:39What about them?
24:40I don't know.
24:41I don't know.
24:42What's that?
24:43What's that?
24:44They're taking the piss, these people.
24:45They're taking the piss, these people.
24:46Taking the fucking piss.
24:474.45 p.m. Claire decides to check their purchases against Sir Alan's list
25:00Okay, this is why and we need to get green one
25:07We haven't checked the photos because we looked at them this morning and we had a very clear idea of what we had to get
25:13So that's why I remember the green clock. I can remember just looking and thinking god. That's green
25:22With less than three hours to go. It's off to find a green one
25:37It is quite frustrating if I was project manager, I'd be checking every single detail
25:41I'm a control freak. I like to know what we're doing. I think now Jen's really kicking us out. This means absolutely nothing
25:50Hi, Jen, it's Michael and Jen and Jen is there any chance you can try and find there the alarm clock, okay?
25:59Green clock in the in the fricking market. So if you just keep an eye out for that
26:045 30 p.m. 60 minutes to go Jen what the rackets? Let's go
26:15Lee's team is still three items short
26:17Okay, um the cactus blue
26:21That to me is pretty spot-on
26:25We're looking for a
26:29We shook on a pity we are sprinting. We are sweating. That's what I'm talking about. These are the originals. These are definitely authentic
26:36There you go. That's the one. That's it. That's what you got
26:39You know you fucking just nailed the blue cactus as well
26:47Sorry about the bad language you heard that arm. It's just over-excitement

26:5335 minutes to go all Jennifer needs is a green mosque alarm
27:01Mosque alarm clock
27:03Down here on the left
27:08This is what we got to do call the guys and see if they can find the mosque alarm clock in a shopping center
27:13Yeah
27:15Yeah
27:17I don't know if I call him again
27:20We've got half an hour
27:26Lee heads for the electrical market in search of the final item a Santos orange juicer
27:3330
27:36I've just got feeling that all the shops are shut and we are completely fucked if it's closed because we have nowhere else to go

30:486 30 p.m it's all over in Marrakech in London Sir Alan calls Nick and Margaret now he'll find out
31:02who's won and who's lost hello Nick how was it today Lee did well I think the real revelation
31:20actually was Sarah but also Lucinda they really did very very well indeed it started off a bit
31:33scattergun there could have been more attention to detail some items had to be changed but they got
31:38those changed and they all work jolly hard let's get straight down to the numbers Nick how did alpha
31:45do alpha bought all the items correctly no penalties and they spent 413 pounds 61
31:54Margaret how did your lot do well Renaissance spent slightly more than that they spent 449
32:03pounds 60 but there are two items which they bought which we're disallowing they incurred penalties on two
32:11items and that brought their total to just over 600 pounds 603 pounds 59
32:16well alpha you seem to have done a very very good job well done now look I've laid on a treat for you
32:25and the treat is that I've organized a private air balloon at Leeds Castle and I'll see you on the next task

32:49where one of you will get fired thank you thank you
32:54for Lee's team it's off for champagne cocktails
33:01for the losers the hotel cafe time to reflect on what they got wrong anything I can think of is
33:15that is the cactus but I just don't see we didn't count its prickles but I didn't think we needed to
33:21do that it's absolutely gutting to find out that we've not only lost in the prices that we brought
33:27things by but we incurred two massive penalties which is totally and utterly embarrassing you all worked
33:33really hard and if you know in your heart and soul that you did the right thing today you've not to be
33:40afraid of I just want to know what's happened I feel like I can smash that I'm literally I've got them

34:41less from your your managerial skills and everyone else thank you very much the losers have an
34:56appointment with sir Alan they bought 10 items but the serving dishes were unbranded and their chicken
35:04and they paid 60 quid more than the other team for the Berber bedspread well yes it's a real bummer to fly to Africa and back and lose a task in a day
35:11and
35:18and they paid 60 quid more than the other team for the Berber bedspread
35:24well yes it's a real bummer to fly to Africa and back and lose a task in a day
35:29you can go through to the boarding now
35:56good evening
36:22good evening
36:25what's the significance of bonjour
36:29just wanted to say hello in French
36:32in French
36:33I see
36:34in Francais
36:35hmm
36:37Jenny I made you the team leader tell me what did you do
36:41I decided to go straight to the marketplace and just kind of get a feel for where I was
36:47was journey research anywhere the research we do you actually set out I
36:52just run off yeah that was probably and the biggest problem with this task I was
36:57very hasty do you think she would run the team well Claire yes and no we
37:04purchased a Moscow arm clock which comes in several colors in white and it was
37:08specifically said we needed green it's not rocket science is it you know to
37:12say I'm gonna look for a green clock it was it was there was a lot going on at
37:16the time it wasn't like okay I didn't you're buying a clock not brain surgery
37:20is it how was Claire then she's okay and on the bed throw the price was coming
37:26down and for some reason and they stood up maybe doing a little bit of role play
37:30and Claire said to quote I'm tired my feet are sore I want to buy it here I
37:35thought we were like boyfriend girlfriend there are three fundamental errors here
37:39there's that one a little biggie and then we get on to the two items that we got
37:44fined for the first one was the akal tarjean do you know what you've done
37:50wrong there I was it's a reading issue right everybody knows you can buy them
37:56in Marrakesh but we specifically asked for a branded item and you bought some
38:01copy piece of took really you didn't even look at the list when you were buying
38:06the tajin pots did you Alex that was you wasn't it I don't believe I was solely
38:10accountable for that because all three of us went to different shops and it
38:12wasn't like I said that's it one Gucci branded underpants wherever you look you
38:17don't seriously think they were the genuine article do you okay and then we've
38:23got the the kosher chicken Jenny you are a lady of the world slightly older than than
38:30the rest of the people here it's my birthday today sir Alan I'm 36 today
38:35congratulations at 36 years old are you telling me you've never heard the
38:40terminology kosher and you don't know that's associated with Jewish people
38:45no sir Alan I'm flabbergasted to be quite honest I mean Michael in your CV what's
38:54the first thing you wrote on it what did you say in there you're a good Jewish boy
38:57is that right yeah okay yeah okay well you are or not I mean I'm a nice Jewish boy
39:03yeah okay because if you're unsure you can always pull your trousers down we can
39:06check is it right that you went to a Muslim halal butcher and asked him to get
39:13you a kosher chicken and mate and he made up any gum actually made a prayer over it is
39:18that right that's correct sir Alan he slaughtered it for you that's correct are you having a laugh
39:24or what I don't know why you didn't go the whole hog and find a Roman Catholic priest to take the
39:29butcher to confession you're supposed to be here because you're intelligent people it's unbelievable
39:36it's unbelievable aren't you embarrassed Michael no I'm embarrassed yeah you know what the word
39:42l'chaim means I know the word schmuck means no but do you know what the word l'chaim means no you
39:48don't I'm not I'm only half Jewish sir Alan so why'd you put on here you're a good Jewish boy was it
39:52there to impress me was it some kind of thing for me to sympathize with you treat you a little bit
39:56differently no I'm not that way and what you put it there for then you either you either are you
40:01aren't I'm half Jewish okay you know what I think this team is totally out of control it's the
40:09people that made the mistakes in buying the products that I can just point at or I can point
40:15at the team leader be under no illusion there's no rule no written rule that says I don't have to
40:20just get rid of one person here there's three terrible mistakes here I don't give a shit I'll
40:26fire three of you if I have to today I'll fire they'll bloody five of you if I have to don't bother
40:30me at all it's up to you you open your bloody mouth or I just make some quick decisions now can I
40:37speak up then and let me just say I'll be the first to you know put my hands up if I've made
40:42a mistake in business and I hold my hands up can we find another expression for this boardroom about
40:46putting your hands up I made a mistake in bartering for the you know for the for the pottery and the
40:52bedspread also I'm gonna come on to that yeah on the bedspread I truly believe that if Claire
40:56hadn't interrupted me on on the negotiation so it's her fault then Alex the 60 quid is down to her is
41:01it I agree it was very difficult very difficult to keep Claire quiet through a negotiation do you
41:09hold her responsible for the 60 quid loss I do hold her responsible absolutely okay I understood
41:15we're doing a boyfriend girlfriend role play when we went into the place that sold the bedspreads
41:20you actually said to me I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna stay quiet and then I was halfway through
41:23it and you just help yourself I don't think it was my fault did you stand up through in the middle
41:29of my negotiation well that's the problem did you interfere in their negotiation but I thought that
41:33was agreed this boyfriend girlfriend thing okay sorry I thought it was a picture there what do you
41:37want to say so it's very quickly I don't want to have to be quickly you can you know just make it
41:42concise and precise so you can say as much as you want right I would like to say that in terms of
41:47sales and negotiating which hasn't I think been looked upon that I did a pretty damn good job in
41:53that task I thought apart from the chicken apart from the chicken fiasco I negotiated I think one
41:59of the best deals and not the best deal of the day on what on the cowhide which I got down from
42:05two and a half thousand to eight hundred and thirty four sorry weren't we working as a team and wasn't
42:10that my negotiation yeah I think we both contributed towards 51 pound equivalent approximately okay and then
42:17from the cactus just as a matter of interest that the first team got for 15 pounds okay there's an
42:25awful lot of I going on there and essentially I'd like to go back to the the chicken article and sir
42:31Alan I wanted to confirm when the guy was nodding his head and we were saying kosher that he actually
42:36understood what we were saying because at this point I felt that I needed to double check and it
42:41was it was actually Michael that told me that everything was absolutely fine and with his Jewish roots I
42:47I felt that he would understand absolute lie that is an absolute lie how could you sit there like
42:53that and lie meaning of the word when did you know about his Jewish connections then I've always known
42:58that he has that he's from a Jewish background but a few moments ago you didn't even know that kosher
43:03was associated with Jewish so so now you didn't know it you still didn't know it in the boardroom here
43:08till I raised the issue and now you're telling me that you did know what it was because you were
43:13relying upon his Jewish connection don't sound right to me somehow I said to you five minutes before we
43:19went there okay that I did not understand the full meaning behind kosher and you said to me that you
43:25had a better understanding of that word is that not true I said is that not true no I didn't say that
43:31you're a liar I said I believed it to be when you cut a chicken's neck and let the blood drain out of
43:37it because I was confused between kosher and how about all these things I didn't know anything now
43:44you know talk about chickens like headless chickens I've got here whose idea was it to persuade the
43:52tennis racket shop not to string Alfa's tennis rackets that was my idea Margaret and you tried to bribe them I
44:00think to do we did we did take some money out and ask them if they would not string the other tennis
44:07rackets as we thought that that we would be able to win a cheap shot wasn't it it wasn't it was a cheap
44:14trick in hindsight and we thought it may gain us an advantage hmm do you know what normally I would
44:22ask the team leader to bring three people in I'd like you all to get outside and sit and reflect so get
44:30out at the start I thought she was a real contender would go all the way you know she was bright
44:43articulate but as time has gone on I think there's a sort of a element of dishonesty about it and this
44:50final tennis racket thing is a dirty cheap little sabotage trade this is all brand new to me I didn't
44:55know that you two had done clear done the racket and had done this and you stay quiet all day knowing that I've
45:00been worried on the plane back think about these tasks in this competition is to find out what we are really like and I've been
45:07quite shocked I did what I thought was right for the team to cheat Michael she claims she didn't know about kosher then she
45:14becomes the foremost bloody authority on it and then turns on people when she realises she's under pressure
45:19you may be glory hunting at the moment and you may be fighting for your chance to stay in the competition
45:25but I believe that you should be honest about the things that I have done I send the five of them in
45:29please Francis not clear vision in your minds as to why you think you should stay here yeah who wants to
45:52speak first when Michael and I went out and and began negotiating it worked brilliantly on the first
45:58particular negotiation it went to pot in the second negotiation chicken one yes it did sir Alan this
46:05is the one which you didn't know anything about when when Michael was telling me to to ask for halal
46:11meat and that we should be saying thank you to Allah I thought that he had to to Allah but for a kosher
46:18chicken yes I thought that he must have some understanding because he was so passionate about
46:23what you know what it seems to me that you hang on every word that I say and then turn it on your
46:30colleagues you have changed your story on the kosher argument and then tried to place the blame on
46:36your teammate who you were running around with no good no good sorry same old story Jenny you're fired goodbye
46:53who's next
47:05I'm absolutely shocked that I've been the one that's got fires of Michael who behaved inappropriately was
47:22bending the rules throughout the course of the task and then sat up in the boardroom and lied it's the
47:27one that's got to stay I'm absolutely amazed
47:30with this task I said openly what my mistakes were I did the best I could to rectify them and I did
47:39control you can't read you can't you can't get green you don't know what a kosher chicken is I can
47:44actually read and I can't I gave you a dossier you can't read you didn't pay any attention to detail
47:50did you I didn't pay attention to detail but I I never give up I can guarantee I'll not make the
47:56same mistake again I'll guarantee you won't make the same mistake again you may be not giving you
48:01the opportunity of staying here what you got to say sir Alan I just wanted to say that I made a
48:07horrific mistake with this whole kosher business do you know Michael yeah you seem to have adopted a
48:13kind of I'm gonna come in here and I'm gonna admit all my mistakes right no I just don't know maybe you
48:18are one big mistake I those are things that I've done here that have been absolutely brilliant I
48:22just don't like to make a more flash about it that's what I mean to say over to you I went out
48:28I gave it 100% you were very good in the first task even though you lost I like the way you spoke
48:33up for yourself I haven't seen that I haven't seen that for the last six weeks sir Alan I'm not subdued
48:39I'm full of beans I'm more passionate about doing this than I've done anything in my life before so
48:43who should be fired then my opinion yeah as I say bold you know I don't believe you should interrupt
48:48anyone's negotiation Clare interrupted mine so personally I would personally speak up I think
48:54Jen should be fired because ultimately there's too many mistakes she bought two items which were wrong
48:58she had the list of items in her pocket and didn't check it and I think there's got to be
49:02some accountability for the project manager sir Alan if you go out with Clare on a task ever in your
49:07life it's like working with a Tasmanian devil you just she is so uncontrollable Clare was a fantastic
49:13project manager when she looked after me and if my opinion Jen should be fired you didn't work with
49:18her for the whole day Michael can I give an example where I disagreed with you you said I want to go
49:22back and take the items back which potentially could take now and then I'll go the rug and I said can I
49:27make a suggestion that you do the rug first and then do the items and you went no I didn't go here's my
49:40next move Alex go back to the house I'll see you on the next task all right thanks John
49:56okay you remain in three just go outside I'm gonna have a chat with Nick and Margaret and then
50:10you'll come back in one of you is gonna get fired
50:13she was completely disorganized this is totally disorganized and just talks talks talks talks like
50:29a bloody rattling machine gun Clare did keep interrupting so I can see that she was irritating
50:36but I think she was doing well Michael he's like he's a waste of space as well as I'm concerned
50:48so I'm a Catholic you're a Protestant we know what kosher is and he doesn't know what kosher is
50:53it defies belief he did classics at Edinburgh he's a bright boy how could he how could he make some
50:58mess of it I think Edinburgh isn't what it used to be yeah yeah Francis send a three of them in please
51:05yes sir Alan this task is run by you Jennifer I believe that you lost control of it quite frankly
51:25but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt to explain to me why I should let you carry on in
51:31this process I may have lost control I do believe I had somebody who was maybe not intentionally or
51:37whatever but was quite destructive on my sub team I didn't stress out I didn't lose a plot when I made
51:43mistakes I rectified it as quickly as I possibly could and I think I don't even think you knew you
51:48made mistakes it was other people that told you'd made mistakes no I've worked with Clare and I felt
51:53that she tries to undermine the project manager and she she speaks over them and tries to can't take
51:58control she might see things going wrong so Alan I'm sat here and I'm I'm really frustrated because
52:04I wish Jen had spoken to me early on and said how she was feeling because everyone knows I've got a
52:09very thick skin I might not be as articulate as other people in this boardroom and be able to talk
52:13the talk and play the games you don't do bad love taking on the feedback that you've got one of these and
52:19two of these and I'm trying to I am trying to change and there's a lot of game playing there's a lot of
52:25bullshit and I'm sick of it I came here to do business and to become better and to make money
52:30for you and to make money for me and I don't know what else to say thank God for that I found out
52:37something that that really shocked me the fact that yourself and and Jenny tried to bribe that was
52:45Jenny actually well you were there Michael you were doing the bribing of the man to destring the racket did
52:50you I'm not going to say that I didn't back it up but Jenny instigated the bribing it was
52:56condemnable reprehensible but you were there and you you didn't even tell me about it and I think
53:00if you you want somebody to work in your company you want somebody who who's not going to cheat and
53:05to lie to get ahead in a competition and yeah I may have lost a bit of control I mean Claire may
53:09have had our differences but I'm not a liar and I'm not a cheat so I do get overexcited sometimes but
53:18I want to put this as adequately as I can I don't want to start going you know mental but I want this
53:23more than anything it's it's more important with anything in my life and I really believe that if you
53:30still apprehensive about me which I think you are I should have another go at project manager to show
53:34you I can do again and prove to you that I wasn't a one-hit wonder Michael I can't have people that
53:42tell lies and cheat in my organization but on the other hand you are a young man and sometimes I have
53:49to reflect back myself about over enthusiasm that I might have had in my very young days around about
53:58your age but will a leopard change its spots it will sir Alan Michael has qualities that personally
54:09if you want somebody who cheats in task which is pretty evident that you did I'm not a liar it's just
54:16been proven Michael let's be honest I'm not a liar and a cheat you have lied because you didn't tell
54:21me what happened you didn't tell me that that what went on with the tennis racket so if that's the type
54:26of person you want to have in your company fire me now talk about making the scapegoat I'm not I'm
54:31not making escape I just know I'm not a politician see the way the thing wind changes like the weather
54:39forecast here you know she's hammer and tong going against you they're clear now that she's hooked on
54:44to something girls the cheating angle that is completely untrue you asked me I'm true you see
54:49that's not untrue that is true when a pair of eyes I know I'm blessed with a pair of eyes and a pair of
54:55fears right I'm watching the way you go about doing things the way you go about fighting for
55:00survival for yourself do you want to know why the other Jennifer went I'll tell you why she went because
55:06I think she was a bit of a snake I think she takes words from my mouth and then turns it on people in
55:11this boardroom Claire Alex seemed to think that you scuppered one of his negotiations and the 60 pounds
55:21loss on that bed cover could have cost this team a victory but it didn't because the real loss was due
55:29to the mistakes that were made and those mistakes were based upon what I consider to be somebody out of
55:35control so Jennifer you're fired I just had a flash of control so Jennifer you're fired I just had a flash of
56:04when I was 22 23 years old in my mind and that's why you're still sitting here okay yes sir I know a
56:13young person can be a little bit over enthusiastic to say the least go back to the house see you on the
56:20next task you're with people who come across very friendly and they really want to get to know you
56:45but in hindsight they're just looking for your free points so they can totally screw you over in
56:50the boardroom and if he wants to have somebody in his company that has proved to be a bit of a
56:54cheat and a bit of a shit really I'd rather go I've been through it twice before and it's just it's
57:05just people talking to shapes I think it's making me tougher so resilient my nickname at work is the
57:11Rottweiler and I thought I was going back to more like Poodle like but I think I'm back to Rottweiler
57:15again it's almost like I know someone is Jewish so I'm gonna play people I'm a good little Jewish
57:23point that's horrendous I obviously I hope they all get fired obviously but I mean you know failing that
57:30I think they've all shown that they lack any kind of integrity and honesty etc etc I think Michael
57:35one job now eight candidates remain
58:04Sir Alan's search for his apprentice continues next week on the apprentice weddings a very very
58:13big business the teams are off to the national wedding show maybe I should get a boyfriend some
58:19of these are a little bit tacky in my opinion will they get the customers to say I do coloration of
58:25the dress really compliments your skin color doesn't even need fitting isn't it lovely who's the lucky fellow
58:30before Sir Alan ruins someone's big day there is no room for any more mistakes you're fired
58:38so Jenny and Jennifer are out and both will be dishing the dirt to Adrian Charles on BBC two in a moment
58:49while on BBC three film horror as Christopher Plummer and Johnny Lee Miller star in Dracula 2000
58:55Sir Alan Sugar will be crossing swords with Jonathan Ross this Friday night here on BBC one at 10 35
