The scene shifts to a book reading by Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard), writer of the "Argylle" book series that the character originates from, as the whole scene was from the last part of the fourth book in the series. Subsequent to responding to certain inquiries, she later goes to her private lodge with her pet feline Alfie so she can start to compose the fifth book. She goes through the night composing the entire thing, thinking she has finished it before going to bed.
The next day, Elly is reached by her mom Ruth (Catherine O'Hara), who went the entire evening reading the manuscript Elly sent her. Ruth says that the book is good, but she doesn't like the "copout" ending. Elly then begins attempting to write another new chapter in an attempt to provide the book better sense of finality. She imagines a few situations to give Argylle a superior completion, yet she winds up stalling out mentally.
Elly chooses to take a train with Alfie to visit Ruth in Chicago when she proposes to assist Elly with completing the book. On the train, she is approached by a man named Aiden Wilde (Sam Rockwell). He pretends to be a fan of Elly’s before informing her there are people on the train who are targeting her. Minutes after, a "fan" stops by with a blade masked as a pen, compelling Aiden to act quickly and begin battling professional killers while Elly attempts to hide away, however she pictures Argylle himself in Aiden's place. Elly recognizes Carlos (Tomas Paredes), one of the assassins, from the book reading as a alleged fan. Aiden then, at that point, takes Elly to the furthest limit of the train where he shoots the entryways off and parachutes with her (and Alfie) out of the train, where she passes out midair.
When Elly awakens, Aiden has trimmed his hair and uncovers he took her to a lodge. He informs her that the professional killers come from an evil association called The Division, drove by Director Ritter (Bryan Cranston). They believe that Elly's books anticipate specific occasions in their profession, and they have previously read manuscript for Book Five and are waiting on her to write the final chapter. Ritter is shown executing Rob Delaney, his Deputy Director, for not apprehending Elly and regaining access to a Master File that can reveal all Division agents. In addition, Aiden serves as the model for Wyatt, whereas Keira was a real person who reportedly passed away.
Aiden brings Elly (and Alfie) alongside him to find a informant named Bakunin (Stanley Morgan), who planned to deliver the Master File to him. Aiden convince Elly to begin writing the next chapter in the hopes of locating Bakunin. Ritter and his men can listen in on Elly's writing because some fans record her on their phones.
They are taken to an apartment that is said to belong to Bakunin. Aiden discovers a book containing information written by Bakunin in an opening beneath the floorboards, which is all they find. Soon, Division assassins start making their way toward the building, leading to Elly and Aiden hiding under the floorboards. Aiden emerges from beneath after a while to begin killing the assassins. Before more start coming, the two advance toward the rooftop and leap off onto a dumpster underneath.
Aiden brings Elly to his place London for her safety. He goes into the restroom and converses with his manager with the shower running, and Elly hears Aiden saying that she "needs a bullet in her head". Dreading for her life, she gets Alfie and contacts Ruth so she can go to Chicago herself (with Alfie). Upon arrival, Elly rejoins Ruth before her dad shows up… and it ends up being RITTER. Before Aiden arrives, he begins going through Elly's belongings and informs her that these two people are not her parents. After Ritter drops the father act, Ruth (whose genuine name is Margaret Vogler) threatens to use a firearm (and an English pronunciation) on Elly. Aiden shoots her and knocks Ritter out prior to getting a stunned Elly out, tragically abandoning Alfie.
Aiden accompanies Elly to meet his boss, Alfred "Alfie" Solomon (Samuel L. Jackson). Here, Elly learns "the genuine Specialist Argylle" is, in all honesty… Elly herself. Her books were not expectations, but instead recollections of her previous existence as a covert operative. Her genuine name is Rachel Kylle (Specialist R. Kylle), and she lost her memory after a mission turned out badly. Ritter and Vogler got to Rachel before Aiden could, and they acted like her folks, causing her to accept she was dependably a hopeful author so she can report her considerations down and ultimately cut her down. They were expecting the furthest down the line book to uncover the area of the Master file. Elly is puzzled at the disclosure until Aiden draws in her in battle, and she can use her abilities from memory to kill him.
Solomon lets Elly and Aiden know that the Master file is in the ownership of a Division partner named Saba Al-Badr/The keeper (Sofia Boutella). Once more the pair travel to Arabia, where Elly should become Rachel. Aiden starts dancing with Elly while Saba is waiting at her compound, claiming that they used to be romantically involved. Saba sees Elly alone and converses with her, where she acts all around ok as Rachel for Saba to give her the Master File.
The Division figures out how to find Elly and Aiden, catching them and bringing them onboard a large boat. Elly had quite recently discovered that she personally was an asset of The Division. A flashback uncovers that she had killed Bakunin prior to taking the master file, and the blast set off by his condo falling to pieces prompted her memory loss. To save herself, Elly shoots Aiden in the chest to make Ritter think she is their ally. She likewise pretend that she doesn’t care for Alfie, who is in Ritter's care. In reality she shoot specific area so that the bullet would go through his chest yet missing the heart, with endurance being reliant upon halting the draining soon enough, something that Elly got from a fan hypothesis on how Keira might have been brought back. Aiden gets free and kills his detainers prior to going to help Elly.
Elly sees one last hallucination of Argylle, telling her that she never required him to do what he could do, before she takes on Carlos and his thugs, who need to stop with the gunfire after crude oil begins to spill out. Elly then, at that point, recalls that one of her memories being ice-skating, so she lashes a few edges to her shoes and slides across the oil, cutting through the professional killers prior to battling Carlos, finishing with her tossing a blade into his heart. She shoots the other killers before she and Aiden take out each and every villain on the boat as a team, with a lot of style. They reach the ship's control room to deliver Solomon's Master File, but Ritter fires his rifle at them. Alfie then rushes toward the bad guy and starts to hook at his face, allowing Aiden an opportunity to shoot and kill Ritter. Tragically, Alfie ripped at out his eyes, as a retinal sweep was expected to finish the transfer, however Aiden tracks down a substitute way.
The duo start transferring the document to Solomon, but Vogler appears with a music box that mind-controls Elly to attempt to kill Aiden, which likewise makes her put the transfer on pause. Aiden battles Elly hesitantly, nearly dying until a masked assailant hops onto the ship and brains Vogler with a wrench, causing her to drop the music box, which shatters upon hitting the floor and severs Elly’s mind control. The assailant is Keira, who endure her gunfire wound the same way Aiden endure his, since it turns out Keira was the person who proposed the theory to Elly. The three (and Alfie) send the remainder of the Master File and pass on the ship to explode, killing Vogler and any other person left alive. Elly and Aiden likewise at last kiss.
Elly completes Book Five and returns to her authorship, providing Argylle with a satisfying happy ending. She returns to the book shop for another reading, and a fan asks her what has been going on with the characters after the story. Elly says that, “hypothetically”, Solomon got genuinely amazing recognitions from the CIA for uncovering The Division, while Keira went to ascend in the tech field, and Elly and Aiden have all the earmarks of being together. Before Elly closes things, another fan who looks much like a nerdier version of Elly’s image of Argylle stands to ask a question, but also suggesting Elly might have questions for him, leaving her shocked.
During the credits, a flashback to 20 years earlier is shown. A youthful Argylle (Louis Partridge) enters a bar and is by all accounts working with the Kingsman office (they exist in a similar universe). Text then, at that point, seems saying "Argylle: Book One", as a film transformation of Elly's most memorable novel is supposed to come soon.
