a hysterical ex-CIA agent whose wife is a cold, neurotic doctor who has an affair with someone; who is cheating on a sex-prone Treasury official whose wife is a best-selling author who secretly wants to divorce him (The reason is unknown); The autobiography of the former CIA agent was picked up by the gym staff, and then used by the female gym director who wanted plastic surgery. He tried to blackmail him and the Russian embassy, and finally successfully blackmailed the CIA; the price paid is unknown why The death of the handsome gym guy who wanted to help the female supervisor (shot in the head by a Treasury official), and the death of the gym manager who had a crush on her (shot and axe by a former CIA agent). The former CIA agent was beaten into a vegetative state by the current CIA agent who was watching the game, and the idiot CIA executive paid the female gym director to fix a series of complicated contents. Oh, and one of the female supervisors and Treasury officials also got a leg up on a dating site.
