Once everybody has advanced the one base required by the force, the force disappears.
NOT NECESSARILY!
"7.08(e) However, if the forced runner, after touching the next base, retreats for any reason towards the base he had last occupied, the force play is reinstated, and he can again be put out if the defense tags the base to which he is forced;"
When Charles retreated, the force was reinstated.
The third out was thus a force - no run scores.
