"Force Majeure" -- When the Unit is charged with evacuating an exiled dictator from an American hospital during a deadly hurricane, an unexpected twist makes their mission extremely difficult, on THE UNIT, Tuesday, Oct. 17 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. The episode was directed by James Whitmore, Jr. and written by Daniel Voll.

A mission to extract a western African dictator from a U.S. hospital during a hurricane seems to be a fairly straightforward assignment under adverse conditions, but when the Unit discovers that 10 patients were left behind during the hospital evacuation, they must choose between saving the dictator or the patients. Meanwhile, Tiffy and Mack get busy working on becoming pregnant, and Molly's recruit, Jeremy, comes home thirsting for more action out in the field.
