Synopsis:
The Suicide Squad is dispatched to Iran to rescue a former Iranian, now U.S. citizen, who is scheduled for execution. Although Waller wants Count Vertigo on the mission, the new psychiatrist, Dr. McCoy, refuses to clear him. Also, the Duchess refuses to go. She has personnel business to attend to. Despite the limited roster, the team succeeds in their mission. Meanwhile, the Duchess, aka Lashina, attacks Barda and demands to be returned to Apokolips.
