[chains clanking]

There's still time, Mr. Lawton.

Are you sure you don't want me to pray for you?

I'm sure.

But if it comforts you, padre, by all means.

Huh. My chair's already taken.

Guess we'll have to come back tomorrow.

Who are you? What is this?

You can't just come in here..

[intense music]

- Release the prisoner. - But--

Release him!

[music continues]

What if I don't want to go with you?

Then you can go and take your seat, tough guy.

vroom

(Lawton) 'So what do I call you?‘

The name's Flagg. Colonel Flagg.

Colonel...Flagg?

You're kidding, right?

(Flagg) Before you do something stupid

tell me, how did you enjoy your last meal?

Not bad.

The asparagus was a little overcooked

but the lobster was perfect.

'It was laced with explosive nanites.‘

- Excuse me. - That's right.

Any escape attempt and, well, you're gonna look kinda funny

tryin' to run away with no head.

That's a lot of trouble to go to

just to keep little old me around.

What do you want exactly?

You're gonna do something patriotic, convict.

Groovy. Who do I kill?

Nobody, if the plan works.

But if it doesn't, I need someone who can adapt

and overcome in a tight situation.

An expert with nothing to lose.

This must be some nasty business.

A little B and E, a little grand larceny, no big deal.

Right. What's the target?

(Flagg) 'Justice League Headquarters.‘

Always did wanna die for my country.

[theme music]

[music continues]

You know, this might not be the best place to talk.

Our friends up in the sky have very good ears and eyes.

Not a problem, convict.

The previous tenant had to leave in a hurry

'but he was pretty good about security.‘

Floyd Lawton, aka Deadshot..

...meet Task Force X.

'George Harkness, aka Captain Boomerang.‘

'Expert thief and inventor.‘

'Temple Fugate, the Clock King.‘

'Planner, tactician, expert with locks and systems infiltration.‘

'And Bette Sans Sushi, current alias Plastique. '

'Explosives expert.‘

Mmm. I know.

I've seen the pictures.

And that's all you're gonna see, killer.

(Boomerang) Enough of this now.

Let's get stuck into the business at hand, eh?

Agreed. Time is of the essence.

It's a blooming fortress crawling with superheroes.

Even if we do get in, what chance do we have?

- 'That's what I wanna know.' - 'Yeah, you got that right.‘

Listen to me, we've got one advantage.

This tower's so big and there's so much staff on it

no one's going to notice us.

Unless one of you does something stupid.

Once we're aboard, Plastique and Deadshot

will make their way down to the watchtower reactor

'where Plastique will create a diversion.‘

Blow up a nuclear reactor?

- Sweet. - Do ljust watch?

Or do I get to join in?

You're there to provide cover and that's all.

Now, at the same time, Boomer and I will make our way

to the package, which is kept on a storage level midway up.

Ah, so we'll make our way there pretty as you please

then maybe a picnic lunch, and the Justice League

will give us a ride home.

We may as well be storming heaven's gate itself.

Unlike heaven, this tower has a duty schedule.

One I've studied thoroughly.

I've scheduled your visit for when they're at their weakest.

Define weakest, please.

Just three major obstacles.

(Temple) 'First, Captain Atom.‘

'His abilities include flight, super strength'

'and absorption of radioactivity.‘

'Green Lantern, his power ring enables him to create objects'

'by thinking about them.‘

'Then there's J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter.‘

What about him?

Super strength. Flight.

And he's a shape shifter, and he can read minds.

I've run into him before.

[scoffs] The chair's starting

to look better every minute.

Okay, Plastique, you're setting the charge

and Superman walks in the room.

You said he wouldn't be there.

Last-minute change in the duty roster.

Superman's got the drop on you. What do you do?

Before or after I change my shorts?

[snickering]

Yes, very amusing.

You have three-tenths of a second to respond.

What do you do?

I grab a hostage and threaten to blow him to Uranus

if big blue doesn't back off.

How's that sound?

- No unnecessary killing. - Oh, come on.

You kill someone, they find the body, sound the alarm

and we're trapped.

Or you take the time to hide

the body so they don't find it.

Time we don't have to waste.

[yawning]

Speaking of the time.

Plenty of time to sleep in the grave.

Which is where we could all wind up

if just one of us misses his mark.

[crickets chirping]

[tires screeching]

[rustling]

Why was he wearing Booster Gold's pants?

So Jimmy says, "Because he left his long underwear

at the cleaners."

[all laughing]

Even big blue laughed at that one.

Well, look at this. Esposito's actually on time for a change.

Didn't have to drop the kids at school.

Memorial day. Ah!

[all grunting]

[intense music]

[music continues]

Five seconds.

Prepare for transport.

Copy that. You heard the man.

We're on the clock.

[intense music]

Yeah, yeah, it's awe-inspiring

but I got a schedule to keep here.

beep beep

Oh, for the love of..

Second time this week this hunk-a-junk's gone out.

You'll have to wait till tech support gets here.

Look, we got to get a move on. We're late.

Tough break, pal. You know the drill.

Eh, no sweat here, as long as you're the one

who explains it to J'onn.

I thought he was gonna wet himself

when you mentioned the martian.

He couldn't let us through fast enough.

That was nothin'.

I almost lost it when this bonehead

set off the metal detector.

Seventy five cents is seventy five cents.

I'm supposed to throw away money?

Shut your mouths and get your mind on the job.

[intense music]

Hey.

How you doin'?

Uh, excuse me, Mr. Lantern, for six weeks now

my wife's been after me for Hawkgirl's autograph.

You wouldn't know where she's at today, would you?

- Haven't seen her. - Okay. Thanks anyway.

You are a very...bad boy.

Tell me you didn't love it.

Atom Smasher?

No one said nothing about that bruiser, now, did they?

This is X-1. We've reached Checkpoint A.

(Temple on radio) 'You're 34 seconds behind schedule.‘

Now that we're inside, we'll try to pick up the pace.

There's no second door on the blueprint.

(Temple on radio) 'l'd get out of that corridor were I you.'

'There's only 41 seconds before the regular security sweep.‘

- Hey, there you are. - Yeah, I had..

Move it, dumplin'.

Thirty six seconds, killer.

[intense music]

What are you doing?

Need that backup plan, X-4.

Thirty two seconds until Plastique's detonation.

- Synchronize. - Roger that.

X-3, you have 28 seconds. Do not be late.

Piece of cake, X-4.

Will you quit fooling around

with that guy?

[grunting]

Move it or lose it, killer.

Three, two, now!

[rumbling]

- 'What's going on?' - 'I don't know..'

(male #1) 'There's a breech in the reactor room.‘

We're getting radiation alarms from several lower floors.

It looks like a reactor overload.

- Crikey! - Boomer, meet the package.

The annihilator.

[alarm blaring]

[indistinct chattering]

(J'onn) Calculate time needed to transport remaining personnel.

Begin sealing bulkheads on lower levels to contain radiation.

Attention, all personnel.

(J'onn on intercom) 'Evacuate the watchtower immediately.‘

Head for the javelin bay or the bridge transporter deck only.

- This is not a drill. - Guys, come on.

- Captain Atom. - Already on my way.

I'll assess and get back to you.

- 'Contain the leak if you can.‘ - Roger.

[intense music]

"Hephaestus mighty vessel, chosen weapon of Ares

arise and destroy at my command."

It's not working. Now we're in it.

Ah!

What's your problem, then, mate?

'Want to go a couple of rounds?‘

thud thud thud

Triggered by rage. Right. I forgot.

Could have warned a bloke, though.

Uh!

We wait for the others.

They have three minutes.

Are you out of your blinking head? We got to go!

Did I say leave? Because I meant wait.

[intense music]

Move it!

(Plastique) 'Not gonna make it, killer.‘

[grunting]

No-o-o!

[grunting]

[grunting continues]

It's okay, you two.

Just keep heading up quick as you can.

[grunting]

clang

That was pretty much the plan, captain.

(Temple on radio) 'You're at two minutes past zero.‘

'You've used up your pad.‘

'There is no longer any margin for error.‘

Alright, you win. We go on without them.

[panting]

Bridge. Double time.

[intense music]

Evacuation's going too slowly.

The radiation will be here before the tower's cleared.

We need you to use your ring to transport

large groups to the watchtower annexes.

Will do, J'onn. That's enough!

That vehicle's only rated for 12 passengers maximum.

The rest of you are with me.

[sizzling]

J'onn, we have a real mess down here.

I think I can contain the leak until we get everyone clear.

But, J'onn, this was no accident.

Oops.

I reckon you boys have a good explanation

for what you're doing on A deck.

'Tis more likely that these varlets

are the source of our woes.

Can't slip anything past you.

Take 'em down.

I've set this for 30 seconds.

Plenty of time for you to disarm.

Or not, as the case may be.

(Atom) 'Not very ladylike behavior, ma'am.'

- Uh! - Plastique!

[grunting]

C'est la vie.

[Plastique grunting]

Tend to her.

[electricity crackling]

They've thought of everything.

[door bangs opens]

[intense music]

You really think we can do something with this?

An invulnerable juggernaut forged by the Gods?

Oh, yes, Ms. Waller, most definitely.

I heard we lost Plastique.

Yes, ma'am. You'll have my full report by 0800.

Right. That'll be all.

Rick.

You're a good soldier.

Your father would be proud.

Ma'am.

[music continues]

Most fun I've had since my last root canal.

Well, gang, guess I'll be seeing..

[grunting]

Dream on, dirtbag. Five years.

You sign up for missions like this for five years.

If you survive, then you go free.

If you don't like it, there's a nice warm seat

waiting for you back at Belle Reve Correctional.

Tell me, colonel... what's Waller got on you?

Not a thing.

Some of us don't have to be blackmailed

into serving their country.

(Green Lantern) 'How did you know Vance was the inside man?‘

He was the only one on the tower whose mind I couldn't read.

Cadmus must have supplied him

with a sophisticated method of masking his thoughts.

So, what do we do with him now?

I'd like to go in there and wipe clean

the last two years of his memory.

Whoa. That's a little harsh, don't you think?

He's a liability.

(Green Lantern) 'l'm sure he's already spilled'

'everything he knows to Cadmus.‘

Don't you understand? We can't trust him.

J'onn, we can't trust anyone now.
