[woman 1] Total Enlightenment,
an Amazonian Elixir that can connect you to your inner self,
but in the wrong hands,
it can awaken a darker side of power,
greed, and lust.
Three little drops is all it takes.
Who would have thought all this trouble
was three little drops?
[suspenseful music]
[man on recording] Close your eyes
and listen to the sound of the singing bulls
as you clear and align your heart and mind.
[pensive music]
Breathe in... [inhales]
and out.
Breathe in...
and out.
Thank you for joining me
and showing up for yourself today.
The light in me sees the light in you.
Namaste.
[both sighing]
[exhales deeply]
You ready for today?
Not yet.
Let's go upstairs.
All right, but make it fast.
[laughs] Oh, you know I'm anything but fast.
I'm your wife. I know exactly how fast you are.
Ah... [chuckles]
[birds chirping]
Oh.
-What? -Not there.
-This here. -Brill.
These are stunning.
-[chuckles] -[phone chimes]
Ugh!
-[phone chimes] -Uh, sorry, babe.
Really?
I'm sorry. Date night this week, I promise.
[instrumental music]
And then he said, "Brill,
you can no longer call me guru,
for it is you who've taught me."
There is no top without the bottom.
And then the universe brought me to Anna.
And that's why Synergeton exists.
Our app is now in the top 50 overall downloads
with a 92% retention rate.
We are the fastest growing app of the year.
I believe it's time to go public.
The market is overloaded with
yoga, sound meditation, hybrid apps.
Well, ours is the only one backed up with
real sound wave therapy research.
We need an actual physical product--
With all due respect, the-the metaphysical--
I think we understand your concern.
We will hold off on announcing IPO
until we have workshops and ideas.
Thank you for your time.
We'll keep you updated.
What was that?
Oh, uh, sorry.
Oh, no, Quan, by all means. Come on in.
Maybe you can talk some sense into your sister.
So I was just about to get the board to go
public when she blindsided me.
I was just going to make some coffee real quick.
Yeah, I know business, Anna.
This isn't tech. It's Wellness.
We can't just hire a programmer and code our way out of this.
It's tech, it's wellness. It's everything.
I mean, it's the world.
Look, you are an excellent speaker.
-The face of the company. -I'm not just a showman.
Okay? This is years of research.
I know, that's why you're CTO.
But this requires a certain amount of nuance.
I'm, uh, I'm getting really tired of you undermining me.
I only let you lead 'cause I thought
that you would keep your promise.
-What are you talking about? -My stock options.
Okay, you promised and you didn't even bring it up.
I-I just, um...
I feel like I don't have any say anymore.
-Any power. -You have power, Brill.
You just don't have patience.
[blender whirring]
Really, Quan.
Uh, sorry. My bad.
You need to learn how to play the long game. Okay?
When we go public, you'll own half the shares.
That's a lot of power. So stop acting like a little--
Like a little... Like a little what?
You know, this app doesn't exist without me.
You know, it was my idea.
-It was my influence. -It was my money.
Oh, my God, why would she say that?
Wow. Yeah. Yeah, it was your money.
Um...
Cool. I'm going to...
I'm going to go clear my head. All right?
[clears throat]
But just remember that...
I am the product,
so if they need a-a physical one,
then maybe you and your freeloading brother
can figure out how to bottle me while I'm gone.
[intense music]
And namaste to you too, bitch.
Ooh, nice ice.
Let me guess, your guru Boo
bought you those with your money?
Says the man with no home.
-Okay, sorry. -[phone vibrates]
Hey, girl, you ready for the podcast tomorrow?
Yeah.
Excuse me.
This is Janine Ackhurst,
host of the biggest innovator podcast
in the wellness space.
Where is my best friend, Anna Kent?
Do I have the right number?
I just had it out with Brill.
I have just the thing.
You need to move your body.
I'm texting you the info on this new yoga spot
that I've been going to. The class is fire.
[Janine] Meet you there later.
Maybe.
Did-did you just maybe me?
No, 'cause you know, I don't do maybes.
I will see you later.
[laughs] Okay.
I like her. A lot.
[suspenseful music]
Thanks for making the time to see me today.
You shouldn't show up here like this.
-Didn't you get my emails? -N-no more emails.
-Just call me directly. -Okay. Understood.
But I still need more of the Elixir.
-You need more? -Yes. Okay.
I see the potential for the entactogenic effects. But it's--
The etecto what?
Increased empathy, feelings, closeness with others
and oneself.
Yeah, exactly.
That's the whole point.
Everyone take five minutes, please.
Go. Five minutes please.
Have a coffee.
What do you mean you need more?
Brill, you only brought me a tiny little tincture
and it was contaminated.
I need even much more to even confirm
what's even possible with this shit.
Woah, woah, woah, contaminated?
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
And I'm going to need more money.
[laughs] Yeah, of course you do.
Look, you'll get more money when you replicate it, okay?
-We all will. -[scoffs] Oh, yeah.
How's that going?
That's just all lined up?
Why don't you... You just do your job, all right?
And I'll do mine. Okay?
[instrumental music]
Oh, going to a funeral after yoga?
What's wrong with this?
Okay.
What are you doing?
Just adding to the list of things you do not know
about the fitness and wellness space.
Black, not appropriate.
And living in your sister's guest room
in your 30s is not appropriate.
Uh, don't you have a downward Lotus plank dog to go to?
-Shoo. [chuckles] -[scoffs]
Telling me what's not appropriate.
[moaning]
[instrumental music]
Yeah. [moans]
[man grunts]
Fuck.
[grunts] Fuck.
[sighs]
[soft dramatic music]
I hate when you're gone for so long.
Well...
[Ophelia] You should move in here.
[laughs]
Um, I still have my lease for like six months.
Okay, then...
maybe I should move in with you.
Well, I'd love that,
but timing just isn't right.
Hey, are we going to dinner or what?
Mhm-hm.
Or we could, uh,
stay here.
[chuckles]
Why are you trying to distract me?
Oh...
I'm going to do a little of the Elixir before we go out.
Perhaps I can be persuaded to give you a little taste
if you help me put the mats and the blocks away.
That's a deal.
[laughing]
Where are you? It looks closed.
[Janine] Okay, so here's the thing...
Janine.
[Janine] I got the day wrong. It's tomorrow.
Look, let's go grab dinner. I owe you.
And we'll do the class before the podcast tomorrow.
Work up an appetite.
Anna?
Come on, girl. Don't be like that.
I'm sorry.
-[laughs] -[Brill] Not yet.
[Janine] Anna, are we cool?
It's okay. I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh, man.
Hmm.
[tense music]
Open wide.
-You hungry? -Mm-hmm.
You promised we were going to a fancy dinner.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Go finish getting ready.
[music continues]
[phone ringing]
[Quan on voicemail] If you ain't getting me,
it's 'cause someone else is.
Leave something silky.
Quan, call me back. It's an emergency. A real one.
Oh.
Hmm, they have that duck that I like.
-Duck. Really? -Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought we were going to go vegetarian for a while.
[Brill] Ah.
Maybe we can go vegetarian after the duck.
[laughs]
[Brill] Let's go, I'm hungry. [Ophelia] Great.
[music continues]
[eerie music]
[panting]
-No! -[shatters]
No!
[dramatic music]
[indistinct yelling]
[glass shatters]
[shatters]
Did you see me pull it out?
The whole place could burn down.
I didn't, but you go.
I got to make a phone call.
[tense music]
Brill?
Who's there?
[Ophelia screams]
Brill! Brill! Brill!
-Someone broke in. -What? What?
They broke in and vandalized the studio
and they just ran out.
[music continues]
Okay, let's, let's check it out.
[somber music]
[Brill] Hey, babe, I'm probably going to be home late tonight.
I'm still out with Reynolds, so don't wait up.
[cries]
Deep breath, sun salutation.
[inhales]
Send the foot back...
to warrior 2.
Oh, Anna, I am so sorry.
I think she's crazy hot.
Like stupid hot.
I mean, would you prefer if she was a dog, 'cause...
Yes, she is very attractive.
I know that look.
What'd my mom always used to say?
There's nothing sweeter than...
[both] Revenge.
[laughs] Oh shit!
I'm going to destroy him.
Oh! What's the plan?
We need to figure out what the hell he's been doing,
and then we need to figure out what this...is.
Brill and Ophelia were putting drops on their tongues.
Oh, not bad.
-What are you doing? -Girl, please.
The things I've tortured this body with.
I'm sure this is some hippy dippy chick snack.
Knowing your Buddha bitch husband, it's probably organic.
Brill met her at the wellness conference.
He told me about her and some kind of special organic balm
-...or something. -[Quan] Mhm-hm.
I never followed up.
Oh, but I think he followed up.
[tense music]
We need to get into his accounts and figure out what his
lying, cheating ass has been up to.
Quan?
Hello?
What is this stuff?
I don't know yet.
[laughs]
I think I can fly.
Well, you can't.
So don't go jumping off any buildings.
Ooh, ain't that the smooth?
[laughing] It is smooth.
Look, I-I can't stay tonight.
I-I got an early meeting, but I'll come back as soon as I can
to help you clean all this up, okay?
Okay.
[sighs]
Speaking of meetings, how did the board meeting go?
Did you tell them about the Elixir?
Yeah. They're suits.
It's going to be a minute.
We just have to be patient.
I think I've been pretty patient.
Yes, but you don't know big business.
I don't?
Don't patronize me.
I built what I have alone.
I don't need you or your company.
Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. Okay?
I just meant that...
I'm on it. Okay?
I'm taking care of it. It's going to be great.
Promise.
Okay.
[instrumental music]
[sighs]
[coughs]
Oh. Hey.
I told you not to wait up. What are you doing?
I was going to ask you the same question.
Well, I-I left you a message.
I was just out with Reynolds.
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
Did you have fun?
Um, I don't know.
Just went for some drinks. The usual.
You okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I-I just...
I couldn't sleep and I was hungry. So...
Who's the best husband in the world? Some duck.
[tense music]
Listen.
Thank you for the earrings and-and for the leftovers.
I'm sorry about our fight.
I have only ever wanted what is best for you.
I will make it my business to get you what you deserve.
Thanks.
I'm sorry too.
Maybe we can talk about it tomorrow though.
I'm like, exhausted.
Yeah, go to bed, I'll be up soon.
[music continues]
[clears throat]
[birds chirping]
What are you doing?
[laughs]
Good morning.
-Why don't you go back to bed? -I can't.
Head's spinning...
thinking about our fight and about Quan.
Yeah, well, he's not helping the matter, so...
What's your issue with my brother?
I mean, the fact that he can probably hack the Pentagon
is a little bit scary.
Yeah. Well, he helps us.
-A lot. -Mhm-hm.
And actually, him and I were brainstorming, and I remembered
you told me about this person you met
at the wellness conference.
The...
At the wellness conference?
Yeah. I think her name started with an O, O something.
Anyway, she had some kind of product,
and you were so excited about it. Remember?
Hm. Doesn't ring a bell.
No. No. Yeah.
Yeah, no, we connected, but there was no science behind it.
It was a placebo thing.
I thought you only remembered the letter.
-You tried it? -Her product?
Uh, no, but I just,
I don't think she's on brand for us.
Well, look, why don't you just try and get a meeting?
Couldn't hurt, right?
Yeah, i-if you want. Sure.
Of course, I'll do it.
But you should know
that I'm pursuing other avenues
with engineers to create new products for us.
I know you are, husband.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Um, don't you have that podcast with your-your nemesis?
Oh.
Um...
Watch out for that, Sarah.
You know, she's got a jaws like an orca.
-I think I can handle her. -Yeah.
Oh, how wonderful. You're still here.
Hm, don't worry, we'll be out of each other's hair soon enough.
-Is that my robe? -Yeah. This is how you wear it.
Eww.
Asshole.
Ooh, you clean up nice.
Okay, well, that's great to hear because I had a horrible sleep.
And then I saw him texting someone this morning.
That bitch.
While I'm doing the podcast,
go through his home computer.
He's going to be out for a couple of hours in meetings,
go through his clothes, his drawers, everything.
Now we talking.
I need to be searchable under a different name.
Can you build me a separate social media profile,
fake company, everything?
Uh, is Idris Elba,
living, breathing God?
How about...
Anna Clark?
Oh, see, that is the look I miss. The look of a killer.
You know, that's one you can only get from foster care
and a criminal parental upbringing.
And then later we're going to go through my closet
and we're going to find something from my past,
something spicy.
I'm going to need it.
-I have a date later. -Okay.
Uh, can I get my coffee back?
[Janine] Welcome back to the Trend and Transcend podcast.
I'm Janine Ackhurst. Today we are talking to Sarah Borg,
a pioneer who took her holistic message
into the technology space,
making her company Gentler Minds,
a continued trend leader after 15 years.
Also with us is Anna Kent, CEO,
who along with her business partner Brill Cooper
co-founded the wellness app Synergeton.
Welcome, Anna.
For the record, Anna,
I think you're a proper tech innovator
with an understanding of the health and wellness space.
I've been a fan of yours since your first two apps.
But your partner, Brill Cooper is,
well, a failed tech bro who attempted
to disrupt the holistic space but ultimately failed.
If I'm being honest, Janine,
Synergeton created a gimmick app, nothing new.
Okay, shots fired.
Thank you for your compliments on my past work.
Truly humbling coming from you.
That said, Sarah makes a great point about failure
and at Synergeton we believe that if Brill hadn't failed,
we wouldn't be on our way to major success.
The acquisition of skill almost always comes after failure.
Did you wake up one morning and know how to do what you do?
-Of course not, I'm just-- -[Anna] I grew up very poor.
I made my way to this place by being inept,
which led to failure, but then growth.
Some of my mistakes have been very bad,
and I am not proud of them.
But they've gotten me here.
We test and we try, and we hope for success.
That's what science is. And instinct.
Largely, mine has been on point.
But is it enough to change the future of the wellness space?
I think my company is on its way
to revolutionary and seismic breakthroughs.
And what about you, Sarah?
What's the future of wellness tech
at Gentler Minds?
Oh, well, we are launching a new product line soon.
Updates to follow.
Elusive.
Anna, tell us more about these breakthroughs
coming at Synergeton.
Actually, we recently added
positive gamification to our app
and very soon we will be announcing
a new wellness product that will be a compendium to our app.
Hey, I'm so sorry again about the yoga mess up.
Oh.
Did you see what happened to her space?
It got super jacked up.
-Oh, wow, really? -Yeah. I feel so bad for her.
But once she gets things back in order, we need to go.
-Yes. -Janine, Thank you.
Pleasure, as always.
And, Anna, in all seriousness, watch your pocketbook.
You're smart and talented.
You don't need a man or anyone to validate you.
If you have a partner, that partner should be able
to deliver what you deliver.
Well, it was great seeing you again.
I don't know if she's trying to deter you,
sleep with you, or be your business partner.
Right?
-Hm. -Very confusing.
-[phone chimes] -Listen, uh, about yoga--
So sorry, but my next guest is here
and I need to go check my notes.
Okay. Okay.
-I'll see you soon. -Bye.
[tense music]
Got 'em.
Hey, baby.
-Hey. -How you doing?
Just trying to get everything back to normal.
Such a violation.
Well, I'm here to help.
Thank you, babe.
-Hm. -Hmm.
How were your morning meetings?
Well, the IPO is going to be delayed because my--
Your what?
My-my one partner and I
have very different perspectives
on how the company should move forward.
Anyway, one of the things that we disagree on is the Elixir.
Well, obviously get rid of them as a partner.
- [laughs] Oh... -[phone vibrates]
Hey.
Hello, Brill.
I just finished the podcast.
-[Sarah] Can you talk? -Um...
Yeah. Can I get back to you in about an hour?
-Absolutely. -Looking forward to.
You're going to hate me, but...I got to go.
Really? You just got here. Who was that?
See, it's like this,
this beautiful universe knows that we need help.
Because that was one of the investors.
And they want to talk about the IPO, but I have to do it now.
I'm so sorry. But I promise I will help with all of this.
Okay? As soon as I'm done, I'll be right back.
I promise. Promise, I'll be back.
Friends and family of Qhoa Yoga.
I have something heartbreaking to announce to you.
Just look what they've done to our ashram.
I don't understand why someone could do this
to my safe and enlightened space.
Okay, sis, you did not tell me
that you tore up that baby's place.
I plead the fifth.
But if I were to play the hero,
it would be easier to gain trust
if the damsel in question were in distress.
Mm-hmm. No and no.
Also, you asked me to go through Brill's stuff.
-Yes. -Well, look at what I found.
I saw him take those.
Cheater, liar and thief.
I trusted him with everything.
I'm such an idiot.
Mhm-hm, we don't have time for this.
Do not go there. Also, that dress is a no.
[instrumental music]
Okay. You're right. Focus. What about his texts, emails?
Uh, he and Dr. Reynolds have been going back and forth
about getting more samples of the Elixir.
[Quan] No.
Reynolds says that he can duplicate it,
but the original was contaminated or diluted
and so he needs more. This was all just yesterday.
So that's what Brill was doing last night,
getting more samples.
Yeah, apparently contamination
can lead to lower efficacy and making people sick.
Oh, yes. Stunning. That's the one.
I think the samples need to be contaminated again.
Did they set a time to meet with the new ones?
-Tonight. -Oh, shit.
Okay, well, let's fix that right now. What can we put in there?
Apparently, grapefruit juice is disruptive.
Okay, there is grapefruit seed extract in the kitchen.
Go.
Just a touch.
I need to finish getting ready.
Uh, are you going where I think you're going?
I'm taking everything from Brill.
Everything.
Put those back where you found them
and keep looking through his files.
We have to figure out who he's getting
financing from and who he's
meeting with this week.
Oh, this is getting juicy.

Hi.
Hi. I-I'm sorry. We're-we're closed.
Oh, don't apologize.
I'm not here for a class.
My friend Janine told me about a break in.
You're Ophelia, right?
I'm Anna Clark.
[Ophelia] Hi, Anna.
That's so kind. How can I help you?
I invest in female owned businesses.
-Your story moved me. -Really?
If you have some time,
maybe you could show me around
and tell me a bit about you and your business.
[instrumental music]
Grapefruit seed extract.
[music continues]
[Brill] Dinner and something after that, huh?
Okay.
Quan?
Hey, Brill.
Listen, I-I have an important call in here
in about 30 minutes, so...
if you can make yourself scarce.
Oh, yeah, that's totally fine.
I was actually just about to go somewhere.
-Coolio. -Cool.
Cool.
[tense music]
Shit.
[Anna] You could have been seriously injured.
Oh, no.
When I was in the Corps, my assignment
was at a Peruvian village that was plagued
by ongoing gang wars.
You were in the Marine Corps?
Peace Corps.
Anyway, I'm pretty confident in my hand to hand combat skills.
Impressive.
Not compared to the day
I was bathing and had to wrestle
an Anaconda. [chuckles]
Well, it, uh, seems like you've lived quite a life.
So, Ophelia, let's talk business.
What are your goals for this place?
For everything.
Hm.
[instrumental music]
To change the world...
by inviting people to be their most authentic selves.
[scoffs]
[tense music]
-Hey, you okay? -What?
I said, are you okay?
Uh, uh, yeah, yeah. I'm good. I just...
Oh, you know what? Anna actually asked me
if I could return some shoes she bought.
-Would you mind if I-- -Yeah, no.
Do your thing.
Thanks.
You find them?
Yeah, they're just right there.
Hm.
[tense music]
My Elixir, which literally awakens the most uncensored,
authentic part of yourself, the part that takes risks
and then realizes full potential.
And I truly thought there'd be a way to have
"Elixir think tanks" for idea generation.
But I'm still working that part out.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is it's all connected.
Sorry. That was a lot.
No, it was intelligent and passionate and thoughtful.
-[phone vibrates] -Um...
Oh, sorry. Just give me one sec.
Yeah, no problem. Take your time.
Did you get in?
Girl, his firewall is easier to get into
than me after three margaritas.
All right, so we got Ophelia Stone,
Janine Ackhurst and Sarah Borg.
- Sarah Borg? - Yeah.
They emailed yesterday about a phone call for today.
Okay. Any emails right before or after?
Not in his inbox, but in his trash...
We got an appointment confirmation
for Polyzan Research Lab.
Open it.
Confirming appointment for extraction of Amazonian tonic.
Perfect. Did you put it back where you found it?
Yeah, but I might have messed up a little bit.
How?
Well, I hacked into Brill's computer first,
but then while I was contaminating the Elixir,
he came home.
-Oh, did he see you? -I don't think so.
But I had to make him an excuse to get back into the closet
to return the Elixir and while I was in there, he walked in.
Shit.
Okay, what about my new profile? Socials, new website?
Done. Clean and simple.
Thank you. What next?
Now he wants me to leave
because he has an important call.
With Sarah.
Okay, leave, but see if you can leave at the last minute
and see if you can hear what they're saying.
Forget your keys or something.
Sis, that is crazy.
We have to figure out what's going on.
All right, I will do what I can.
Sorry about that. Work stuff.
No problem.
[tense music]
You're still here?
Yeah, I just needed to grab some
water for the road.
Hurry up. Go. I have to take this.
-Yeah. For sure. For sure. -[phone ringing and vibrating]
Hey, Sarah. Thanks for taking my call today.
[Sarah] Of course.
[Brill] Look, I...
I'm going to cut to the chase.
Before you do, I just want to apologize for the dig
I made about you on Janine's show.
It was mostly to get under Anna's skin.
And it worked.
Yeah, it did.
Look, I see us both as stars--
In the same sky.
Share with me your vision.
This is a product that actually leads to vision.
It's called simply "The Elixir."
[Brill] It's a natural tonic
that's sourced from ancient ingredients
first used by Incan elders in Peru.
It promotes mental clarity,
groundedness in an all around sense of spiritual well-being.
It's a tangible, sellable wellness product.
[Sarah] A panacea from Mother Nature herself.
Exactly. [laughs]
See, I knew that you would get it.
Which is why I'm bringing it to you.
And paired with my groundbreaking
sound wave therapy,
it provides the opportunity to experience
utter and complete bliss.
Well, it certainly aligns with Gentler Minds.
But I want to be fully transparent.
Gentler Minds is my baby.
I must protect it from those I deem unworthy.
Brill, you know, I think you're a beacon.
And this Elixir, should it actually work, is compelling.
But I will never work with Anna Kent.
Oh, I'm not asking you to.
I plan on leaving the company,
but I'm bringing the Elixir with me.
So, simply name me your new COO, and together...
let's change the world.
Well, obviously, I need assurance
this Elixir is everything you say it is,
and it can be mass produced.
Yeah, absolutely, of course.
Good.
Gentler minds is expanding.
If all goes well,
our new facilities could be used
to manufacture your Elixir.
[phone chimes]
Oh, my God.
Just...give me a second.
[footsteps]
What are you still doing here?
I just uh, I left my backpack.
I-I'm going. I'm going.
[door closes]
Hey, um...
So should we discuss terms?
So you believe that through risk
we achieve our highest potential
and in doing so we see ourselves clearly?
Not necessarily.
But it is my belief that is in those moments
when we live in the extremes
that we can feel our full force in the world.
Admirable,
but could be a bit of a gamble.
What do you mean?
Well, what if my true self,
me at my core,
is someone a little...
dangerous?
Well, it shouldn't shock you to hear that
I like a little danger.
[instrumental music]
I want to give you the capital you need to expand.
What, like a loan?
No, I want to be your partner. I go with my gut.
And that was one of the best pitches I've ever heard.
-I wasn't pitching. -I know.
I invest in companies
and help them achieve their goals.
I go with my instincts
and I like what I've heard here today.
You have enormous potential.
Don't answer now.
I know a stranger coming in off the street
and offering you a golden apple is unusual, so...
So you want to invest in my studio?
I want to invest in you.
Mull it over...
and you can let me know if I'm the kind of person
you want to get into bed with.
This has to be more than enough.
This is a good sample, Brill.
So how much longer do you need?
Well, at least three weeks to get the formula complete,
and then another two to three weeks to start.
-No, it's too long. -Come on.
Look, I'm moving as fast as I can.
All right?
This...is a very unusual and complex organic structure.
Yeah, I know. Wha-what can we do to make it go quicker?
If I have more money, I could bring another person.
Okay. Hire them.
And I'll find the money somewhere.
This has to be perfect.
I can't get this new investor on board
without the replication.
[sighs]
And then the board are going to be sorry
they never went public with me.
I'm on it.
Right on time.
He's leaving Polyzan Labs.
And his phone call with Sarah, recorded?
Oh, I managed.
Excellent.
He's on his way home.
Time for mama to get to work.
[both laughs]
[Ophelia] She just came in here, off the street!
Said she saw it on the news!
Well, that's crazy.
[Ophelia] And she wants to invest.
Well, it's too bad, Hon.
[Ophelia] What, are you even listening?
Uh, yeah, of course. Um...
Look, I-I got to call you back. Okay?
[Ophelia] Oh, wait, Brill--
...all, I think that we just have to be
really mindful about the way that we present it,
but I think it's totally up to us.
[laughs] Yes.
Oh, hey, team, Brill just walked in.
[laughs] What are we laughing at?
Just give me a second, Brill.
Okay, well, great brainstorming session.
Oh, and, Robert, I love that instinct.
Universality or the illusion of separateness.
I don't know.
It's your brainchild.
I want to know more.
Let's talk more about this.
Aww. Well, thank you for being part of the Synergeton family
and for trusting me with your ideas.
-You honor me. -And I too am honored by you.
Namaste.
They hung up.
Woah, woah...
What? What is all this?
The big boss lady wants to get some bonus points.
Every general needs to inspire.
Sorry. Do you feel like I'm stepping on your toes?
No, no, no. It's just, you know,
brainstorming sessions are usually my thing.
Well, you can't patent brainstorming, Brill.
Besides, you've been so busy lately.
But I never want to hurt your feelings.
Should we talk more about this?
Dinner tonight. Just us? I'm already dressed.
Uh, no, I'm already late for a possible new partner meeting.
Um, I just forgot my wallet.
Okay, well let me know if you need any help.
We both know I'm the closer.
[laughs]
You got jokes.
Funny. Okay.
Good luck, babe.
[tense music]
Time to close the bank.
[phone vibrates]
Look who it is.
Hi, babe.
Hey, I-I was just trying to take out some cash
and my card's not working.
Oh, that's odd.
You'll have to go down to the bank tomorrow
and see what's going on.
Well, c-can you just look online right now
and see if something's going on?
Of course. Hold on.
[keys clacking]
-Hmm... -What is it?
So weird. It looks like your card was blocked
due to suspicious activity.
Okay, that's impossible, so...
Well, you should be grateful that our bank protects us.
And what do you need cash for anyway?
Shouldn't you be able to send it electronically?
-[both chuckling] -Yeah. Good idea.
I'll call the bank tomorrow.
Great. Thanks.
[phone beeps]
-[phone beeps] -[both laughing]
-Got him. -Got him.
[pensive music]
[typing on phone]
[line ringing]
[sighs]
[phone vibrating]
[Quan] Qhoa yoga.
[sharply inhales] Oh, this has gotta be Ophelia.
Answer it.
[phone beeps] Anna Clark's office.
Hi, um, this is Ophelia Stone.
I'm sorry, it's a bit late, I...
I just met Anna, she told me to call her.
Mm-hmm. Yes, one moment please, while I see if she's available.
[music continues]
Yo, that's enough. Poor girl. She's suffering.
Oh, God no. Ten more seconds.
Okay!
I have Miss Clark here for you.
Hello?
This is Anna Clark.
Hi, Anna, it's Ophelia Stone.
We met at my studio earlier.
Ophelia, hi, I was hoping you'd call.
About our conversation...
I'm in.
Great!
Well, I'll send over my cleaning crew,
and then, we talk big picture.
Oh, my God, thank you, this is so exciting!
Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow.
Ciao.
[music continues]
[softly chuckles]
[laughing]
[knocking on door]
[knocking]
What are you doing?
You said that you wanted to talk.
Well, not now. I'm not in the mood.
I'm tired and emotionally exhausted.
[huffs] Well, baby, we can always change the mood.
No, I have to wake up early and deal with this mess.
Yeah, well, I-I said I would help with it, that's...
Yeah, it's too late now.
Plus, I have someone who's interested in my business.
-And the Elixir. -What?
Yeah, I tried to tell you earlier on the phone
when you hung up on me.
Uh, I'm-I'm sorry.
I mean, I-I... I was distracted.
I had a big marketing meeting today and--
[sighs] Please Brill, lets discuss tomorrow.
I'm really tired.
Uh, okay. Yeah.
[inhales]
[door lock clicks]
[birds chirping]
[Ophelia] Anna!
I can't thank you enough.
I think your cleaning crew has made it look
even better than it was.
My pleasure.
I have some papers for you to look at.
Do you have an office or somewhere quiet we can talk?
Yeah, let's go upstairs.
Babe?
Anna.
Quan?
[suspenseful music]
[line ringing]
[Ophelia on voice mail] Hello. You've reached Ophelia Stone.
Plea--
[sighs]
[line ringing]
Always a pleasure to hear your voice, Sarah.
Uh, l-listen, um...
Do you think that you could front me
some of the research money, you know, in good faith? Just--
[thud]
Yeah. Some people I need to pay off.
And, uh, this will make things move a lot quicker.
Great. Thanks.
I didn't realize you had a living space in the studio.
Makes for an easy commute.
Here's my standard partnership agreement.
Everything's negotiable, so have your lawyer take a look.
[Ophelia] Great. Would you care for some kombucha?
Sure.
[pensive music]
-To women in business. -To finding kindred spirits.
Such a beautiful space.
Huh.
Is this from your Anaconda wrestling days?
-You remembered. -Of course.
-Who's the girl? -[Ophelia] That's my ex.
We're still great friends.
I'm godmother to three of her kids.
How modern.
Are you seeing anyone now?
Sorry, is that too personal?
No, not at all.
Uh, yeah, I'm kind of seeing someone.
[Ophelia] How about you? Anyone special?
[chuckles] Is this him? A guy?
[music continues]
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
He's cute.
He is. Affectionate. Playful.
Sounds like a golden retriever.
[Anna] Just kidding.
I'm sure he's wonderful and supportive.
What did he say when you told him about me and our venture?
Oh, I didn't bother him with that.
He has his own work concerns,
and my work is obviously my priority.
I just don't think he takes me that seriously.
Well, that's a mistake.
You're someone to take very seriously,
not to be underestimated. Just ask that Anaconda.
[music continues]
I actually love it when people
underestimate me.
Then every move I make
has the element of surprise.
So what's in the box? Blood of your enemies?
My Elixir.
Oh, the fear and danger confronting potion.
What's it made of? Snake venom and virgin blood?
[chuckles] That's funny.
Um, no, it's an ancient Amazonian remedy.
Amouta, the elder at the Peruvian village I served
entrusted me with the recipe.
So it's purely plant based?
-Yes! -What's the dosage?
I take three drops, one to three times a day.
And what happens if you take more than three drops?
Like, say, a whole vial?
Oh girl, I've only done that once.
Amouta invited me to this sacred ceremony.
You sit in a hut and take a full vial
and an elder guides you as it awakens your God force.
What psychology calls, your id.
The part of you that society says should stay hidden.
But I wouldn't suggest that as your first experience.
Also like with all natural medicine,
people have a variety of experiences.
Some people get violently ill.
Like as in death or permanent damage?
No, no, no, nothing like that.
Like say if you do shrooms, you can get
very sick to your stomach.
Some people can pass out from the experience, but nothing
deadly or dangerous.
Some citrus can have a severe interaction,
especially grapefruit.
Still working out how to manage things like that.
Well that's what warning labels are for and safeguards
against these things.
So what's a normal dosage do?
It grounds you, allows you to hear your soul
without any static.
[soft music]
Helps you inhabit your body more fully.
It's like ultimate awareness, euphoric, freeing.
You can actually go within your mind
and see how to heal, how to extract fears,
peel back layers.
I guess it's harder to explain than I thought.
You could...show me.
Yes.
[vial clanks]
[suspenseful music]
[static]
[instrumental music]
[phone keys clicking]
So after I trained for eight years,
I got my black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
How often have you had to use it?
More often than you think.
So...I feel like...
you know everything about me, but I don't know anything
about you, besides what's on your website bio.
Were you and Mark Zuckerberg really
on the same mathlete team?
Oh, you, uh...really shouldn't believe
everything you read on the internet, Ophelia.
Okay. So...tell me something true.
When and where were you the happiest?
I turned seven.
We just moved to Louisiana.
We moved around a lot.
And I remember the first thing I saw was this carousel.
You know those old-fashioned carousels
with the painted horses.
Mm-mm.
All I wanted was to ride on this carousel.
But my mom always said, "Later. Another day."
And then one night
at midnight, she woke me up
and said we were going for a drive.
[soft music]
And I had never seen the city...
so asleep...so dark.
So she pulls over...
and walks me from the car and says, "Stay there,
keep your eyes closed, no peeking."
So I wait for what it feels like an eternity.
And then I hear that music.
And she says, "Open."
[surreal music]
And there was the carousel, just for me.
How did she do it?
Well she broke in and hot wired it.
My mom always said a lock was just a suggestion.
[music continues]
A five minute pony ride on a stolen carousel.
It's the happiest I've ever been in my life.
She wanted to do anything she could
to get you what you wanted.
There's so much love in that.
Yeah.
She was good at that.
That five minutes were perfect.
It was only then I realized the car was packed.
-Time to go. -How come?
[Anna] Like I said, we moved around a lot.
Mmm.
My mom was a con artist.
Never had a straight job in her life.
[music continues]
If she did, it would be as a maid for a week and then
we'd be on the road again in a stolen car
with a bag full of some other woman's jewelry.
She never got caught?
On the rare occasion the cops would pick her up,
they never held her for long.
But long enough.
And then I'd be in and out of foster homes
until they let her go.
That must have been really hard.
[music continues]
It was.
But that's how I met Quan.
[chuckles] It's embarrassing.
[gasps] Bitch.
What you doing, Quan?
-Moving out? -Maybe.
Depending on how tonight goes.
[laughing] Yes, that's the plan here.
Find yourself a sugar daddy to take care of you?
[laughs] Well, it does seem to work for some people.
[ominous music]
You trying to be funny?
[phone vibrating]
Hey.
[Sarah] Not exactly the warm greeting
I was expecting dropping off this many bands.
I'm sorry... [sighs]
I had a rough day.
So you have it?
[Sarah] An envelope full of cash?
I do. I feel like I'm in the mafia.
Mind telling me what this is for?
The source where I get my product from
has another potential partner.
So...the race is on.
So anyway, Quan is my foster brother
turned real brother and my best friend.
He knows everything about me,
seen me in my worst
and...he stayed.
That's invaluable to have someone like that.
It is.
[Anna] Okay.
[Anna inhales] That was a lot.
[Anna sighs]
[soft music]
I think you are the most astonishing,
most beautiful person I have ever met.
I should go.
What?
No, wait. Anna, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have told you all that.
We're going into business together,
and business and pleasure don't mix.
You don't scare me.
[music continues]
Maybe I should.
[door closes]
[tense music]
[breathing raggedly]
[Brill grunts]
[grunts]
[box clatters]
[breathing heavily]
[things rustling]
-[door opens] -[Anna] Brill? Quan?
-[door closes] -[Anna] Hello?
[dramatic sting]
You're home?
Yeah, I live here.
What are you doing?
I was just...just seeing if Quan was home and order a pizza.
[tense music]
Cheat day?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm just bored.
How was your night?
Great.
I think I may have found a solution to our
physical product problem.
Really?
-W-- -Tomorrow.
I'm exhausted.
[upbeat music]
[Brill] Uh, yeah, I'll send something over
as soon as I have it.
[Brill laughs] I couldn't agree more.
Absolutely.
No, this feels like this is the
start of something very, very special.
Hey, babe, did you make coffee?
[softly] Yeah.
Yeah. All right, well, just e-mail me any time.
It was nice speaking with you.
Absolutely. Have a good day.
[Brill sighs]
-Who was that? -"Who was that?"
Why are you always on my back lately
about who I'm talking to, and so.
Yeah, well, we're partners.
Transparency's part of the deal.
Why are you so defensive?
I'm not being defensive.
Okay, well, you seem stressed.
I've noticed you haven't quite been yourself.
Okay, are you, are you trying to pick a fight with me today?
I'm fine, okay? I'm just handling the business.
-I'm doing fine. -Yeah.
Yes, you are.
It's just that the board and I think
that maybe it would be a good idea for you
to delegate some of your unnecessary burdens
and really just own your role
as more of a figurehead in the company.
You-you really should watch how you talk to me, babe.
Okay? 'Cause I could go anywhere and be this big.
Maybe even bigger.
Do you hear how you're speaking to me?
[Brill sighs]
Forgive me.
I'm sorry. You're right.
I love you.
Maybe I'm just, maybe I'm just stressed.
There's nothing to forgive.
I'm gonna go work out with Janine.
See you later.
[Brill breathes deeply]
[Ophelia] Downward facing dog.
[soothing music]
Breathe.
This is good, but you need to...
Sorry, do you mind if I just repose?
Sure.
You want to send your breath all the way from
the top of the spine and out through the tailbone.
[Ophelia] Breathe.
[breathes] Good. Chaturanga.
I told you she was good.
Yeah, very good.
[Ophelia] And Cobra.
-I might invest in her company. -That's great.
You can be on the podcast whenever you're ready.
[music continues]
[Ophelia] And upward facing dog.
She has great ideas
and this amazing new product I can't wait to show you.
Looking forward.
-And Child's Pose. -[bell dings]
[door opens]
[ominous music]
-[door closes] -How was your date?
It's always good if I don't come home.
[both laugh]
But it was long and fun
and I could really use a nap, so--
What is that?
You're a terrible liar, Quan.
You always have been.
So where'd you get it?
Uh, I went on a date with a hippie guy.
[Quan laughs]
No, still lying.
See, you can't just get this any place.
The only place you can get it is from me.
And I didn't give this to you. So where did you get it?
I swear that's where I got it from. I...
He was going to some yoga class and some
yoga chick gave it to him.
Yeah.
[laughs] It's the same place I get it.
-Yoga chick. -Hmm.
Did you try it?
Yeah.
-It's nice, right? -Very.
You didn't tell Anna, did you?
No. No. You know how she is. She doesn't even smoke weed.
[Quan chuckles]
Yeah.
True.
Okay, brother... have a good nap.
[Quan] Thanks.
[relieved sigh]
All right. So how are we looking?
This will certainly expedite matters.
Good.
Okay. Keep me posted.
Come in. Come in. Would you like some tea?
-Sure. -Oh, and I signed those papers.
Did you have your lawyer look at them?
-Didn't need to. -Ophelia.
That's a lovely gesture, but for your safety--
I trust you to my core.
[phone vibrating]
Sorry, I have to take this.
[phone beeps]
-[Quan] Anna, we have a problem. -What is it?
Brill went through my stuff and he found the Elixir I had.
What did you say?
I-I told him that I got it
from a guy I was seeing and that
he got it from a yoga teacher.
-Did he buy it? -I think so.
But now I'm wondering what else he might know.
Thankfully, Brill--
[tense music]
[softly] He's not that clever.
[Anna] But just in case, change the password.
-Send them to me. -All right.
Just give me a second.
[keys clacking]
Done and done.
[phone chimes]
Got it. [inhales]
Okay, we all set up for later?
Yeah.
[Anna] Love you, Q.
I love you too.
Sorry about that.
Look...
we have to talk.
We do.
-I'm sorry if I-- -Just listen.
I don't want you to think I'm taking advantage of you.
I think you are a brilliant, beautiful person.
I can't help but be attracted to you.
I think you know that.
Which is why I wanna tell you that I wanna work with you.
Okay? You don't owe me anything.
Is that why you think I kissed you?
Because I felt I owed you something?
I don't know.
I hope not.
But as someone who cares about you, and I do...
I wanna protect you.
Even from me.
Are you talking about business or sex?
Both.
Which is why we're gonna keep things strictly professional.
Okay? You don't know me.
I know exactly who you are.
Last night, you let me see you, and now
you're trying to hide from me.
I'm not hiding.
You've made every choice
not to be like her and lost yourself in the process.
Ophelia, can we just--
She made you believe the only
way you could protect yourself was to be so controlled.
The last time I saw her,
my mother looked me in my eyes
and told me she saw darkness in me.
And I know that she is right.
So yes, I am controlled, but it's not to protect me.
Does it look like I need protecting?

[Brill on recording] Do you think that you could
front me some of the research money?
You know, in good faith.
[suspenseful tense music]
I just have, uh, some people that need to be paid out...
[smack]
[intense music]
[garage door whirring open]
[exhales]
[knocking on door]
[Brill] Knock, knock.
-Brill? -[door opens]
-Who else would it be? -What are you doing here?
What, I can't surprise my girlfriend?
You're sweet.
Um, look, I've got class in 20 minutes,
so I gotta go set up.
[door closes]
[door opens]
[upbeat music]
I've been worried about you, you know,
you haven't been answering my texts.
Yeah, well, I had a break in,
which was traumatizing.
Yeah, I know, I told you I'd help with all that.
And although I appreciate you
saying that, you didn't help.
Actually, I met someone
who jumped right in, and she helped me with everything.
And it turns out the Elixir might be marketable after all.
[indistinct song playing]
That's, uh, that's amazing.
It's amazing. Um...
-I mean, if it's real. -What do you mean?
Just that I had some of the best minds in the business
take a look at this and they said that it wouldn't work.
Did you, Brill?
Because I'm not quite sure about your follow through.
Oh, don't.
I'm just trying to protect you.
I just hope you looked into it and made sure she's legit.
Of course I did. She's extremely legit.
I'm not as naive as you think I am.
Um, we're gonna talk about this later.
Actually, Brill...there's nothing more to discuss.
Huh?
I'm breaking up with you.
I deserve more.
We're not done talking about this.
Obviously, I felt it was imperative to launch
a full investigation into the accusations, and unfortunately--
-[door closes] -[Anna] Brill!
Okay, I'm here. What's the emergency?
Thank you for finally joining us.
What exactly is the nature of your business with Sarah Borg?
Wait, what?
It has come to my attention that
Brill has conducted several
undisclosed meetings with Sarah Borg.
Well, you asked me to speak to her.
Investigate her, not conspire to leave Synergeton
and become the COO of Gentler Minds.
Whoa. What? What is this? What-what are you talking about?
[Brill on recording] I plan on leaving the company,
but I'm bringing the Elixir with me.
So simply name me your new COO and together...
let's change the world.
H-h-how, what? That that's illegal?
-I'll sue this shit out-- -Legally you have no recourse.
What are you talking about? This is my company.
Is it? Because I think we're all a little unclear
on exactly what it is you bring in terms of value?
[tense music]
Brill and I both signed non-compete
non-disclosures and other trade secret documents.
Breach immediately causes forfeiture.
Please see the documents I emailed you earlier. [inhales]
You have selfishly and carelessly
put us all in jeopardy.
So with all due respect, I am the CEO
and I will do whatever the fuck I want.
I move to remove Brill Cooper
from Synergeton effective immediately.
-Oh, come on-- -I second it.
All those in favor...
[tense dramatic music]
[laughs]
Congratulations.
[claps] You're the sole captain on a sinking ship.
You know what, I do have a deal over at Gentler Minds.
And the product that I'm bringing to market...
it's going to change the world.
We'll see.
I think that wraps up today's meeting.
Thank you for joining.
[clicks]
So that's it?
What about us?
I think both partnerships have run their course.
Where's Quan?
[music continues]
How would I know?
I'm out of here. He'll be back later.
[line ringing]
Hey, I'm coming by to pick up the Elixir now.
Have it ready for me.
[intense music]
Everybody out! I need the room.
Out. Out. Out. Out. Out. I need the room.
-What's goin' on? -Is that them?
-Yeah, I'm just doing the fina-- -The final one. Are they ready?
Yeah, I'm just doing two more tests 'cause I need to confirm--
I-I have to take them, okay?
I-I have to test them with the investor today.
Brill, listen, I'm legally obligated to tell you some---
I don't have time for this.
[breathing raggedly]
[phone beeps and line ringing]
Hey, I got it.
Yeah. Let's, uh, let's meet at your new office space.
Quan.
[suspenseful music]
[phone beeps]
[phone vibrating]
[huffs]
What a gorgeous space.
Wow.
Amazing. All right.
[surreal music]
Are you ready to change the world?
My body and spirit are ready.
[beeps]
[Brill exhales]
It's time.
[music continues]
[Brill] Mm.
How long does it take?
Oh, not long.
Just close your eyes and you should start to feel it.
[Brill breathing deeply]
Just breathe.
[Sarah exhales]
I'm not feeling anything.
What if we take more?
Well, then you'll definitely feel it but...
I mean, just give it a moment and you'll--
[Brill] No, no!
[dramatic music]
[Sarah exhales]
Now I'm feeling it.
Yeah, you took a lot.
[Sarah exhales]
All things are possible.
[tense music]
[coughs]
You okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm just getting...
I'm just getting comfortable.
[euphoric music]
[distorted] Can you feel your body is waking up?
[echoes] Wakin' up.
My body feels so alive.
[Sarah groans]
A little sick to my stomach.
Is this normal?
[echoes] Is this normal? Is this normal?
[Brill] I think it is.
It affects everybody a little
different at first.
[distorted chatter]
[music continues]
[static]
[coughing]
[dramatic music]
[Brill straining]
Sarah. Sarah.
Hey.
Sarah. Sarah!
[music intensifies]
[breathing heavily]
Shit.
I-I told you not to take it.
I told you not to take that much.
[tense music]
[Anna] So by now you should know that it's over between us.
But what you might not realize is you've been played.
I knew everything you were doing even before you did.
And I've always been one step ahead of you.
How was your tummy ache from the grapefruit
Quan and I put in your Elixir?
Bet that was embarrassing.
It made it hard to replicate.
Speaking of Quan, where is he?
God help me, Brill, if you hurt him...
[music continues]
-What's wrong? Are you okay? -We need to talk.
I have a lot to tell you. My brother is--
I broke it off with him.
The guy I was seeing.
I know this is fast,
but I know what I'm feeling.
I haven't told you who I really am.
My real name is Anna Kent.
-I'm Brill Cooper's wife. -What?
I discovered he was cheating on me with you..
and that he was plotting to take me down
and destroy my company.
So I wanted to get revenge.
I was going to ruin him and seduce you,
partly because I wanted to,
partly to get information from you, but mostly because
I wanted to fuck with the man who was fucking with me.
[music continues]
His plan was to steal the Elixir,
your Elixir, and bring it to a rival company.
But using what you told me, I contaminated it
and ruined his plan.
The Elixir is yours, he can't take it from you again.
My head is spinning.
[Anna] I've ruined him.
Everything went according to plan
except for we're in danger.
You expect me to just believe you?
The only lie I told you is that my last name is Clark.
You know me, Ophelia. You see the real me.
This is who I am.
I don't know what to say.
I think Brill may have killed my brother.
-Oh, my God. -And we have to get out of here.
Well, well, well.
Isn't this a pretty little picture?
Don't let me interrupt a little tender moment like this.
Brill, you need to calm down.
Shh.
Shut the fuck up.
[music continues]
You know where I just came from?
-Sarah's office. -Productive meeting?
-She's dead. -What?
She's dead because she took the Elixir that you just
admitted to contaminating with grapefruit.
Oh, my God. The interaction just makes you sick. Not kill you.
Sick enough to choke on your own vomit.
So before I drag you to the police--
You wanna go to the police? Let's go.
Maybe they can help us find Quan.
-You're insane. -Where is he, Brill?
Maybe moved out.
You still don't get it, do you?
I trusted you. I gave you everything.
This entire persona, I invented it.
This thing that you think you are, I gave it to you!
I made you.
And now I've destroyed you.
No, you've destroyed you.
-Damn it! -[Anna screams]
-Brill! -[Brill grunting]
[Ophelia] Brill, stop!
[intense music]
[groans]
[Anna coughing]
[Anna panting]
[both grunting]
[Ophelia coughing]
[Ophelia grunts]
[smacking]
[Anna coughs]
[screaming]
[grunting and groaning]
[Anna chocking]
[shouts]
[Anna coughing]
[panting]
[slow music]
Corporate theft, backstabbing, double crosses and murder.
All that and more on today's episode of Trend & Transcend.
Welcome back, Synergeton's co-founder Anna Kent
and her new business partner Ophelia Stone.
-It's a pleasure to be here. -We have much to discuss.
I think it's safe to say this episode is going to run long.
I'd like to start with your ex-husband
and former business partner, the late Brill Cooper.
What else is there to say?
He went crazy and killed everyone,
including my brother Quan.
-I am so sorry for your loss. -Thank you.
So how did you two first link up?
Was it before or after the Brill debacle?
-You wanna take this one? -I was in the peace corp...
Okay, that far back.
In a Peruvian village plagued by war,
Amouta, an elder, entrusted me with the recipe for an Elixir.
Oh yes, the famous Elixir.
We are dying to know how this works.
It all starts with three little drops.
And it sounds like an awful lot of trouble
for three little drops.
[Anna] Three little drops for a chance
to experience absolute bliss.
