It was directed by Joseph Kahn. It portrays Spears as a secret agent of some sort. She's a flight attendant on a concorde-like airliner, who after receiving a phone call, pushes an overweight man into the lavatory and French kisses him. Spears pulls the face of the man off, revealing a handsome man portrayed by model Matt Felker, and steals his wallet and a key. Spears is then shown in Paris, in a black pleather catsuit and with wavy red hair, and is picked up by Tyson Beckford on a Ducati 999. The pair drives to the "Toxic Industries" factory, where she uses the key to steal a toxin and passes through a series of security measures. Spears then scales a building, now in a superhero-style costume and with black hair, and enters the apartment of a former lover, played by actor Martin Henderson. They make out and Spears pours the toxin in his mouth, killing him. After planting a kiss on him, she jumps off the balcony, landing back in the airplane in her original attire, and winks at the camera before returning to her duties as a flight attendant. The video closes as it began, with birds flying behind the aircraft. The video is intercut with sequences of Spears with hundreds of Swarovski crystals glued to her body, wearing only a G-string. It took nearly nine hours for makeup artists to glue the crystals to her body. During filming of the sequence, only director Joseph Kahn and Visual effects supervisor Chris Watts were there to shoot; other crew members had to leave the room.
