A Surprise Torture Training Course Next Week on "The Unit"  4/20/06

THE UNIT MEMBERS MUST ENDURE A SURPRISE TORTURE TRAINING COURSE AS POWs, ON "THE UNIT," TUESDAY, APRIL 25

"SERE" -- The Unit enters the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance Escape) training course thinking they will be guards, but are shocked to learn that they are the POWs for an undetermined amount of time, on THE UNIT, Tuesday, April 25 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Stephen De Paul directed the episode from a script written by Carol Flint & Lynn Mamet.

Based on the real-life training course that the military uses to prepare for capture by enemy forces, The Unit takes on a grueling exercise of torture and humiliation. The training proves to be especially difficult for Bob, who is sick when the training starts, and the torment pushes him close to death. To complicate matters, the CIA is orchestrating exercises with virtually no limits to the level of physical punishment and emotional manipulation that can be used in an effort to break them, which would result in them being kicked out of The Unit.
