Peacemaker

Previously in The Suicide Squad...

This is Christopher Smith, known as Peacemaker.

His father was a soldier

who trained his son how to kill from the moment he was born.

You fail to follow my orders

and I detonate the explosive device

in the base of your skull.

Your mission

is to destroy every trace of Project Starfish.

I cherish peace with all my heart.

- (GROANS) - (GRUNTS)

I don't care how many men, women, and children

I need to kill to get it.

Who are you going to show that to?

Press. People deserve to know.

I can't let you do that, Colonel.

Miss Waller charged me with making sure

those records don't level this building.

- (PIPE CLANGS) - (BOTH GRUNT)

"Peacemaker." What a joke.

Project Starfish. It's headed towards the city,

and I think it wants to feed on as many people as it can.

Not our problem. We've achieved the objective.

What are you doing, Task Force X?

Turn around now, goddamn it!

This is your last motherfuckin' warning!

- (CONTROLS BEEPING) - (GRUNTS)

- (JOHN ECONOMOS EXHALES HEAVILY) - Task Force X.

Your clearest path is Calle Aguero.

- (EXHALES SHARPLY) - (HANDCUFFS CLICKING)

You're shot and a building falls on you,

and all you have to replace is a clavicle?

You're the luckiest man alive. (SIGHS)

- Can I ask you something, Doc? - Sure.

Can you maybe up the contrast on the X-ray a little more

to show the definition in my muscles?

This makes me look like one of those guys

who works out only thinking about bulk.

I put a lot of time into my small muscle groups,

and according to this, it was just... wasted effort.

It's not for your Tinder profile, Chris.

You've healed well,

but you're still gonna have to take it easy.

Try to avoid lifting your right elbow

- above your shoulder. - Sure.

So, as long as you agree

to keep up with the physical therapy,

I'm discharging you.

So, I can leave?

Go home.

Enjoy life.

Psst.

Jamil!

I don't have any weed on me, man.

- That was a one-time thing... - It's not that, man.

Doctor said I was free to go.

- Congratulations? - Jamil, you cool?

- What does that mean? - Dude, can I trust you?

- No. - No?

Uh, I don't know you, man!

- Dude, I really need somebody I can trust... - Don't trust me, man.

We smoked weed together, man. I was in a fuckin' wheelchair!

I can't pretend like that wasn't a nice moment,

but that doesn't make me trustworthy.

- I ain't trustworthy worth shit. - What?

Why do you think I'm mopping floors, bro?

- I went to MIT. I don't like the responsibility. - (MUTTERS)

- You went to MIT? - Oh, yeah.

- The fuck are you doing here? - That's my fucking point, man!

Why aren't you listening to me?

Fine! Fuck it. Don't be trustworthy,

just let me ask you a question, and don't tell anybody about it, okay?

I would never betray a secret.

That is the opposite of everything you've been saying.

Truth is, I'm supposed to be in prison.

- For what? - Superhero shit.

- (CHUCKLES) You're a superhero? Yeah.

You're kinda bulky to be a superhero, aren't you?

Bulky? What the fuck you mean, "bulky"?

Well, most superheroes have a gymnast body.

- They're ready to go. - I'm ready to go!

- What superhero are you? - Peacemaker.

- Get outta here, motherfucker! - You a fan?

There's no superhero called Peacemaker.

- Dude, I'm fuckin' famous. - Not that famous.

- Aquaman, he's famous. - Fuck Aquaman!

No, man, don't say that. Why say that?

He bangs chicks? Good for him.

He fucks dudes? Got no problem with that.

He starts fuckin' fish? That's taking it a step too far.

- Aquaman fucks fish? - Yeah.

- I don't believe it. - (SCOFFS)

A guy on Twitter works for the aquarium,

said for 50 bucks, he brings him in the back

so he can have his way with a sturgeon.

I refuse to believe that.

And I refuse to believe that @PepetheFrog89

is lying to me for no reason.

Fine. If you're a superhero, what were you in prison for?

Integrity.

I made a vow to have peace,

no matter how many people I have to kill to get it.

- Oh, Peacemaker! - Yes!

- You're that racist superhero! - No!

- You only kill minorities, man! - (PEACEMAKER CHUCKLING)

I killed a fair amount of white people too!

The ratio is suspect, is all I have to say!

- If somebody's committing a crime... - Yes?

Am I supposed to control what their ethnicity is?

No. But you need to watch white people

as closely as you watch people of color,

so you see more of them committing crimes!

Fine. That's... That's a good point.

I will trust white people less in the future,

and kill a higher percentage of 'em. Are you satisfied?

Yes. Thank you. Now, what do you need?

Doctor said I was free to go,

so technically, I should go back to prison.

What I need to know is,

on the DL, is there anybody out there looking for me?

Not that I heard of, man.

- No cops outside, nothin'? - I ain't seen no cops.

I'm thinkin'... I can just go?

Why not?

- (PHONE RINGING) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Guy's a total douchebag.

Go. Drive.

Yes! (GRUNTS)

- (TRAFFIC NOISE) - (BIRDSONG)

Oh. - I thought I was gonna be like James Bond now.

- We made it. Hey. Come on. - (SIGHS)

Yes.

- (BARKS) - Does this look like James Bond to you?

Come on. - Man, I wanted champagne in the bathtub,

and some Octopussies and shit.

Okay, girl, you better not be getting any Octopussies

- while we're up here. - (CHUCKLES)

What is an Octopussy anyway?

Uh, that's who Maud Adams played in the movie.

Okay, so she had eight pussies?

As far as I know, she only had one pussy.

- That's just her name. - (CHUCKLES) Okay.

This might be a good time for me to bring up...

I've been thinkin'.

If we have a kid, I'd like to name her Octopussy.

- (CHUCKLES) Oh, is that so? Really? - Yes so. And if it's a boy,

- Sharknado. - (CHUCKLES) Oh, okay.

Well, I hope then that it's a boy,

because, um, I don't think my parents would be too happy

with a granddaughter named "Octopussy."

- Really? 'Cause I think... - Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

Lois and Chuck would love that. (CHUCKLES)

- (EXHALES SHARPLY) - What's wrong?

This job of yours, it might be dangerous, or...

They got me filing papers and making reservations.

I hope it stays that way.

Keeya, this is just a paycheck. It's just for now.

I know that I'm not made for this shit.

I'll save up a little, then we'll go back home.

- Okay. - Okay?

- You promise? - I got you. (CHUCKLES)

I got you back.

I gotta go.

- Right now? Yeah.

- Okay. Love you. Love you too.

- (DOOR OPENING, CLOSING) - (SIGHS)

Here? - Yeah.

Oh. (CLEARS THROAT)
