Synopsis:
While attempting to break Russian political prisoner Zoya Trigorin out of a Soviet prison, the Suicide Squad is discovered. The Enchantress goes berserk, escalating the situation. Flag orders Deadshot to wound her. The team then flees from Soviet soldiers across enemy terrain. With the aid of Nightshade, the team safely reaches the U.S. embassy. When they arrive, the embassy officials disavow the mission and plan to turn the team and their rescued prisoner back over to the Russians.
