Synopsis
The synopsis reads: 'Welcome to hell - a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A.'
'Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out - even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X.'
'Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn.'

'Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.'
'Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave… and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement.'
'And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself).'
'If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them - all of them.'

His daughter Tyla visits and tells him, "My court date is coming up, and Miss Waller said maybe you could help me out."
Angry, Robert attacks Waller with a pen and threatens to stab her in the neck.
As her co-workers hold a gun to his head, she yells at them to, "stand down."

"I wouldn't take such extreme measures if this mission weren't more important than you could possibly imagine."
"Are you in or out?" She asks. When he agrees, she says, "Good. Let's meet your team."
"Each member was chosen for his or her unique set of abilities," Waller reveals as the group assembles.
