Scenario 5: Hybrid Model

[ Silence ] ^M00:00:14 >> Steve: Doesn't anybody understand? ^M00:00:16 >> Paul: Hey, buddy. How's it going? >> Steve: What do you want? >> Paul: Oh, I just, I came down to see what's happening with you. My name's Paul. I'm from the Mobile Crisis Intervention Team. >> Steve: Did you hear that? >> Paul: That muffler sound? >> Steve: I don't know, man. It sounded like a tank to me. >> Paul: What are you up to today, Steve? I see you out here having a little drink in the morning. >> Steve: Yeah. It's just, it's the only way I can deal with it, man. It's, you don't understand. You wasn't there. >> Paul: Where were you, Steve? >> Steve: I was in Iraq. >> Paul: Oh, you part of the military - >> Steve: Yeah. I was a Marine. >> Paul: A Marine, oh, are you still a Marine now? >> Steve: I'm home. >> Paul: You're home here in Memphis. >> Steve: Yeah, I'm home - >> Paul: How long you been back, Steve? >> Steve: About six months. >> Paul: You live right around here - >> Steve: I mean, you don't hear? Smell it? >> Paul: Smells like what - >> Steve: That's sulfur. >> Paul: Sulfur. I don't necessarily smell it. >> Steve: Yeah. No, it's. That's heavy tank fire, man. I can smell it - >> Paul: Tank fire - >> Steve: Yeah. >> Paul: You thinking a lot about where you're over in Iraq here. >> Steve: I mean, I've been there. >> Paul: You've been there - >> Steve: You been there? [crosstalk] You saw all my buddies killed. It's bad. >> Paul: Indeed. >> Steve: And people just don't get it. They just don't understand. They think we're over there on a camping trip. People are dying left and right - >> Paul: Well, it's a serious situation - >> Steve: It is - >> Paul: There's no doubt - >> Steve: You're right. >> Paul: Well, what gets you up today, Steve? >> Steve: I had those dreams again, man. I woke up, and it was all, it was the same thing all over again. I can hear my buddies screaming, and it was just, this is the only thing I can use to make it stop. >> Paul: A little bit of drinking, huh - >> Steve: Yeah. I don't have the, I'd give you some, but I ain't got a whole lot left. >> Paul: OK. You've been having the nightmares since you got back, Steve? >> Steve: No. They started about the last, oh, probably two or three months ago. I watched that show on cable, "On the Front" or something like that, and it, I could have swore I saw friends. >> Paul: I'm having a hard time hearing you. It's a little bright out right now. You want to come over this way because there's a lot more shade right here. We can just continue talking. This way it'd be a little bit easier on both of us. So we know we got some people coming over here soon. >> Steve: Who? >> Paul: The CIT officer's going to come down and take us down to - >> Steve: Some, like, CIA or something? >> Paul: No, no. These are the trauma people. These are the crisis intervention team. They just come along, and - >> Steve: There ain't any crisis. Get back over there. >> Paul: Well, either way. Either way. Everything is already set in motion - >> Steve: Alright. >> Paul: So what we got to do now is just relax a little bit, get ourselves together on our game plan because we're going to be together the rest of the day - >> Steve: Well, tell me where we're going? >> Paul: We're going to go down to the med as soon as these guys come along - >> Steve: I ain't going to the med - >> Paul: We're going to go down to the med - >> Steve: I ain't going to the med - >> Paul: Well, we got to go to the med - >> Steve: No, I ain't going to med. I'll go down to, I'll go down the Army hospital. I [inaudible]. I ain't going to the med. >> Paul: Well, that's going to be fine, but we'll make arrangements for that. We'll make - >> Steve: The med has military people, and they understand - >> Paul: That's right. They do have military people, and they'd be more likely to understand your experiences and be able to, you know, understand what's going on with you. I tell you, let's relax a little bit. We know where we're headed. Now let's get our game plan together. Let's have a seat. Let's just have a seat. I think the best thing that we can do right now is to just talk a little bit about what we're going to do and where we're going to be - ^M00:03:51 >> Steve: You hear that? Is that air warning or air sirens? >> Paul: Steve. You have a seat here. I mean, most importantly, Steve, the first thing we got to do here is we got to stop that drinking. You don't got to give your bottle up, Steve, but it would be a great favor to me if you could just - >> Steve: I only got a little bit left - >> Paul: Put the cap on it, but maybe we'll finish it up later. Just put the cap on it. Put the cap on. Let's keep talking because we're making progress. >> Steve: I will [inaudible]. If the officer says to do it, I will. [inaudible] >> Paul: I swear. Like I said, Steve, I'm not here to tell you what to do at all. I'm here only to ask you. I'm only asking you because I know it's going to make things a little easier for us, and I know when the CIT officers come up, it's going to make it easier for you as well because they're going to see that you're already sitting here. You're wanting to get back into the position you need to be in, which is back in the military, back in your duty, and the first step for you to do that right now is to go ahead and just put the cap on that bottle and just set it right next to you. Nobody's going to take it. I'm not moving, and you've got your bottle right next to you. You've got it right in your hand's away. Just put the cap on, and let's talk a little bit more. >> Steve: Can I have one more drink? >> Paul: I can't. >> Steve: No, not for you. For me. >> Paul: Can I get you some more drink? >> Steve: No, can I have one more drink before I put it on? >> Paul: Absolutely, Steve, absolutely. Have another drink. It's your bottle. You're only putting it down because you want to. >> Steve: I can get it back? >> Paul: You're not even going to give it away, Steve. You're just going to set it right there next to you.
