He then decides to write a memoir about his life in the CIA. His wife, Katie Cox ( Tilda Swinton ), wants to divorce Osbourne and, at the counsel of her divorce lawyer, she copies all his personal financial files off his computer along with his work-in-progress memoirs. Katie's lover is Treasury agent Harry Pfarrer ( George Clooney ). The disk eventually finds its way to Hardbodies, a workout gym . An employee of the gym, Chad Feldheimer ( Brad Pitt ) finds the disc. Along with his fellow employee Linda Litzke ( Frances McDormand ), he intends to use the disc to blackmail Cox - Linda needs money to pay for cosmetic surgery . When blackmailing Cox fails, Linda decides to take the information to the Russian embassy . At the embassy, she hands the disk over to the Russians, promising she will give more information too. Because Linda and Chad don't have any more information, they decide to break into Cox's house. By now Harry and Linda have met over an internet dating service, and begin seeing each other. Chad stakes out the Cox's house and breaks in when Harry and Katie leave. Harry, however, comes back to find Chad, and accidentally shoots him in the head. Harry, thinking that Chad was a spy , disposes of the body. On his way to leave he manages to tackle a man that has been trailing him for some time, thinking he was working for the CIA or some other government agency. After tackling him, Harry finds out that the man is working for a divorce firm hired by his wife who, it is then revealed, has been cheating on him. Harry is devastated and goes to see Linda. Meanwhile, Osbourne returns to his home only to find himself locked out because Katie changed locks in a final move in her secret divorce proceedings. He sleeps overnight in his boat, and the next day breaks into his own house with a hatchet. T he finds Ted Treffon ( Richard Jenkins ), the manager of Hardbodies rifling through his memoirs looking for information. Linda had sent Ted to look for more information to give the Russians, believing that the Russians had kidnapped Chad. Osbourne shoots Ted, who survives and runs out of the house. Osbourne grabs the hatchet and kills Ted in broad daylight. While all of this is going on, Harry is in the park with Linda fretting over his wife's divorce. When he realizes that Chad is Linda's associate, he becomes fearful and flees. The movie ends by returning to the CIA's headquarters, w an official ( David Rasche ) and his director ( J.K. Simmons ) are trying to sort out what happened: Chad is dead, Ted is dead, Osbourne is in a coma after being shot by an agent while attacking Ted, Harry has been arrested trying to board a flight to Venezuela , and Linda has agreed to cooperate in exchange for the CIA financing her plastic surgery. The baffled CIA then decides that they have learned their lesson: to never repeat whatever it is that they did again. George Clooney - Harry Pfarrer Frances McDormand - Linda Litzke Bra... read more
