Synopsis:
Each member of the Losers seems to have improved their luck. Each reflects on bad situations in their past, and they believe the bad luck will follow them wherever they go. When they are assigned to draw straws, the team assumes the worst, but instead the short straw earns a pass to travel to London with his friends.
The Losers head to London only to find it in the middle of a bombing raid. The soldiers help to rescue children from the ruins of a building, but they are unable to rescue their the mother who is trapped. She is killed when a delayed explosion destroys what little remained of the building.
