Regardless, if the forced runner retreats, the force is reinstated.
If R2 is ruled out on this play, the run does not count.

Right, if they get to dead ball territory, they are not forced out. They were not retreating to a previous base, they were abandoning. In fact, I'd have to be pretty convinced before I'd give the defense the benefit of the doubt on this because it's an unfair advantage to the team on the third base side. (There forces never get reinstated by DMR's.)
