by the chopper’s blades Harley and Flag go missing while Savant attempts
to flee the chaos Although Amanda warns him, she detonates the
explosive in the back of his head, causing it to blow up
Amanda then sends in her second team in the opposite direction to finish the job
Three days earlier Amanda goes to recruit Bloodsport, a deadly
mercenary who is there for shooting Superman with a kryptonite bullet
Her leverage against him is Bloodsport’s teenage daughter Tyla who is in danger of
serving time for stealing The two argue loudly, as Tyla makes it clear
that Bloodsport was a bad father He goes to threaten Amanda into releasing
Tyla, but she knows he is going to comply regardless
After he relents, she introduces him to her other recruits
Peacemaker a patriotic mercenary Cleo Cazo, who has the ability to control
rats King Shark, an underwater prince with a taste
for human meat and finally Polka Dot Man, a man with an unusual
genetic disorder whose specialty is throwing weaponized polka dots
Amanda informs the team about the situation in Corto Maltese

Mateo Suarez after they executed the presidential family
They are operating in a scientific research facility called Jotunheim
where they are conducting dangerous experiments, codenamed Project Starfish
The Squad is assigned to find Dr. Gaius Grieves since he can lead them to Jotunheim and they
can destroy whatever is going on in there Presently, while Team 2 is making their way
through the jungle they come across a group that they believe
to be mercenaries in league with the military so the Squad kills them before they make it
to the camp where Flag is hanging out with his contact Sol Soria
the team found that they killed the Freedom Fighters who are trying to take Corto Maltese
back from Luna and Suarez The team walks out of the jungle when they
notice Polka Dot Man glowing in different colors
He explains that his condition happened because his mother worked at STAR Labs and experimented
on him and his siblings to give them a superpower His condition forces him to drain the dots
out of him or he will die and he views all of his enemies as his mother before killing
them Before heading to Jotunheim, Flag insists
that they recover Harley Harley has been taken captive by Luna’s
men, but he brings her to his room to woo her since she is seen in the country as a
symbol of anti-American anarchy `
However, when he reveals his plan of using whatever is in Jotunheim to eliminate anyone
who threatens his regime, even if it means killing children
after that Harley shoots Luna, leading his men to capture and imprison her
The Squad is being taken by Sol’s contact, Milton
to go to a bar called La Gatita Amable where they will find the Thinker
On the road there, Ratcatcher asks Bloodsport why he is afraid of rats, as he is always
recoiling around Sebastian even though, according to Cleo, sees good in Bloodsport
Bloodsport states that his father once punished him with rats, and it leads to his phobia
When he asks her why she is so drawn to rats, she explains that her father, taught her how
to control them but also treat them as family, but he was a drug addict and ultimately overdosed
when she was a child Bloodsport and Ratcatcher promise to one another
that they will get each other out alive The team makes it to the bar
The Squad drinks and dances before they spot Thinker
They apprehend him, but the military comes in to search everyone since they know that
there are Americans in there Bloodsport sends Ratcatcher and Polka Dot
Man outside with Thinker while he, Peacemaker, and Flag are all taken
in On the road, the three subdue the gunmen and
kill the driver before their van is run off the road
Ratcatcher and King Shark arrive with Thinker in tow
Harley is being tortured by Suarez’s men for information, but she never budges
When she is left alone with his guard, she snaps his neck with her legs and sets herself
free Harley proceeds to shoot down Suarez’s guards
Outside, Flag tries to lead the Squad to rescue Harley until she shows up and joins them
They then get Thinker and order him to get them inside Jotunheim
Thinker leads the Squad to the creature that he calls Starro The Conqueror
Peacemaker and Nanaue set up bombs all over the place
Thinker reveals to the Squad that the American government was behind the experiments involving
Starro since they have been secretly funding Corto Maltese for decades
Starro also emits smaller starfish that attach themselves to human faces and take over their
bodies like zombies, and there are slews of corpses of Starro’s other victims all over
the facility Starro breaks free and grabs Thinker, tearing
him in two and splattering him across the wall
Flag attempts to secure the hard drive with evidence against the American government to
deliver to the press, but Peacemaker turns on him per Waller’s orders
The two fight each other, with Flag nearly choking Peacemaker to death, but he stabs
Flag through the heart with a piece of a broken sink
Ratcatcher witnesses this and grabs the flash drive while Peacemaker attempts to kill her
Meanwhile, Nanaue comes across small fish that mimic him, until their aquarium is broken
and they begin to leech onto him all while Bloodsport, Harley, and Polka Dot
Man try to survive the crumbling facility Bloodsport manages to survive going through
several floors before he lands and witnesses Peacemaker getting ready to execute Ratcatcher
The two mercs draw their guns and fire their bullets at each other, with Bloodsport’s
bullet breaking through Peacemaker’s and striking him in the throat, bringing him down
King Shark falls outside and is shot by Suarez’s men, but he rises and bites the head of one
gunman before the rest of the Squad runs out of the facility as Starro bursts out
It releases more starfish that kill Suarez and his men and then proceeds to make its
way into the city Amanda declares the mission over since the
evidence is destroyed, but the squad want to save the city
and she threatens to detonate their devices and kill them on the spot until her subordinate,
Flo Crawley brains her with a golf club and has the rest of the team guide the Squad to
save the city At the same time, Sol and her team execute
the remaining members of the regime to stage their coup and take their country back
Bloodsport begins blasting away at Starro while King Shark starts to bite into it
Polka Dot Man envisions Starro as his mother and unleashes his polka dots to burn Starro’s
leg, but the alien crushes him Ratcatcher tries to use her beacon to summon
the rats, but Bloodsport pushes her out of the way before she is killed
She then uses the beacon and gets practically every rat in the city to take down the infected
citizens and start to take Starro down Harley then charges into Starro’s eye with
the javelin and breaks through before the rats make their way inside and take Starro
down from the inside, finally killing it and saving the city
The Squad’s heroics are broadcast on the news, and Tyla acknowledges her father as
a hero Bloodsport contacts Amanda, ordering her to
let the team and Tyla go free or they will leak the evidence from the laboratory
to the press She reluctantly agrees and calls for the chopper
to bring them home As the team rests, Rat crawls onto Bloodsport’s
leg, and he begins to pet it after that Weasel is shown to still be alive
and starts wandering into the jungle of Corto Maltese
John and Emilia are brought to a room where they find that Peacemaker is still alive
