Having learned of the existence of the Suicide Squad, the President wants to shut it down. Waller convinces the President to allow it to continue with a military man in charge, Colonel Rick Flag. When the president approves, Waller travels to Guantanamo Bay where Flag has been held as a captive since refusing to carry-out illegal orders from a superior some time ago. She convinces him to lead the Squad. Their first mission: travel to Mongolia to rescue a scientist who has built a meta-bomb that, when detonated, will give super powers to the terrorist group that possesses it.
