Mike Durant

He was really happy.

I don't know how long he'd been in their custody, but he was being released with me.

A Red Cross doctor comes in, and again, we're trained, you know, keep your guard up, don't believe everything they're trying to make you believe.

So I'm like, is this guy real, is he not?

Morphine shot.

Okay, he's probably real.

You know, that feels really good.

Your legitimacy just went through for me.

And then this entourage

It almost looked like the three wise men.

I mean, they're all dressed in formal, traditional wear, drinking tea, all come in the room, like to celebrate this momentous occasion that I'm being released.

And I'm like, this is too weird, you know?

And then they put me on a litter and they're trying to take me down the hallway.

They're trying to turn corners.

They can't turn a corner.

They got to angle the thing.

I'm sliding off.

They finally get me in the street.

I'm covered in this sheet because what shows up on the news is it looks like blood, but it's just a sheet that's got a lot of red in it.

And they load me in the back of a van.
