1. So they got you
on the night shift, huh?Copy !req
2. Yep.Copy !req
3. Well, don't bring home any chocolate.
I'm watching my figure.Copy !req
4. Right.Copy !req
5. What do they have you doing there anyway?Copy !req
6. Nothing.Copy !req
7. I don't think
they're paying you for doing nothing.Copy !req
8. Why don't you want to talk about it?Copy !req
9. There's nothing to talk about.
I just mix the chocolate all night long.Copy !req
10. All right, fine. I was just asking.Copy !req
11. So you thought he was beautiful.Copy !req
12. And you went to his funeral
even though you had never met him.Copy !req
13. Yes.Copy !req
14. I, uh, went to
the wake and everything,Copy !req
15. and, uh, that's when I decided
I was gonna dig him up.Copy !req
16. And what did you plan on doing?Copy !req
17. I just wanted to lay with him.Copy !req
18. While he was still fresh and just, uh...Copy !req
19. hold him.Copy !req
20. But, uh... it didn't work.Copy !req
21. It was March and the ground was too hard,
and it would have taken forever. So...Copy !req
22. But I wish I could have dug him up.Copy !req
23. I think if I had, then, uh...Copy !req
24. I wouldn't have done all the stuff after.Copy !req
25. Might've just been the end of it.Copy !req
26. Jeff, can you...Copy !req
27. Just help us understand a little.Copy !req
28. What do you think drove you
to try to dig up a dead body?Copy !req
29. You know,
because most people wouldn't do that.Copy !req
30. Um...Copy !req
31. I guess, uh...Copy !req
32. I guess I just...Copy !req
33. I hoped that he could be, uh,Copy !req
34. somebody that wanted
to see a movie that I wanted to see.Copy !req
35. You wanted
to control these guys?Copy !req
36. Yeah.Copy !req
37. Yeah, 'cause, uh...Copy !req
38. well, everybody was always
tellin' me what to do.Copy !req
39. You know, my dad, my grandma, my bosses.Copy !req
40. The guys were just, uh...Copy !req
41. the one thing in my life
that I could control.Copy !req
42. So Jeff...Copy !req
43. just going back,
talking about Steven Hicks...Copy !req
44. you say that was accidental.Copy !req
45. Uh...Copy !req
46. Which one was he? Was that the hitchhiker?Copy !req
47. Yes.Copy !req
48. Okay, 'cause I never
knew their names most of the time.Copy !req
49. You should know their names.
These are people you killed.Copy !req
50. So, Steven Hicks, the hitchhiker.Copy !req
51. That was an accident.Copy !req
52. And Steven Tuomi,
he was the one at the, uh, hotel downtown.Copy !req
53. Hmm.Copy !req
54. Both Steves.Copy !req
55. That was an accident as well?Copy !req
56. Yeah.Copy !req
57. I mean, I didn't mean to kill him.Copy !req
58. I didn't want to kill him, but...
I must've.Copy !req
59. So yeah, accidental.Copy !req
60. Drugged myself too on accident.Copy !req
61. So, what changed then?Copy !req
62. Because after that,
you started killing people on purpose.Copy !req
63. Well...Copy !req
64. I started in with the drinking more.Copy !req
65. A lot of solitary drinking.Copy !req
66. And I just...Copy !req
67. started to feel more and more...Copy !req
68. alone.Copy !req
69. When I was, uh, living with my grandma,Copy !req
70. I'd, uh, go to the barsCopy !req
71. and I'd pick someone upCopy !req
72. and take 'em back to her house.Copy !req
73. And I'd drug 'em.Copy !req
74. And then I'd take 'em downstairs
to the fruit cellar.Copy !req
75. Then I'd strangle them
once they were unconsciousCopy !req
76. 'cause I didn't want them to suffer.Copy !req
77. And how many did you kill
at your grandma's house, if you remember?Copy !req
78. Uh...Copy !req
79. Um...Copy !req
80. Three?Copy !req
81. Can you describe them?Copy !req
82. Well, one guy was Black,Copy !req
83. one was a Chicano,Copy !req
84. and, uh, another was Indian
or American Indian.Copy !req
85. It was just about
if, if I thought that they were beautiful.Copy !req
86. I'm not buying that.Copy !req
87. You targeted your victims.Copy !req
88. Sorry?Copy !req
89. You purposefully moved
into an apartment in the Black community.Copy !req
90. It's what I could afford, sir.Copy !req
91. To an area that was
under-patrolled and underserved,Copy !req
92. and you knew that, isn't that right?Copy !req
93. Easier to get away with things there,Copy !req
94. easier to hunt.Copy !req
95. So you get 'em down there, then what?Copy !req
96. Um...Copy !req
97. Well, at that point, I'd just kinda panic,Copy !req
98. you know, like, my grandma
was gonna come down there and find 'em.Copy !req
99. But she didn't like
going down those stairs.Copy !req
100. So, I knew I was pretty much safe.Copy !req
101. But, uh, well,Copy !req
102. then she started to notice the smell.Copy !req
103. Jeff?Copy !req
104. But I figured out how to do it.Copy !req
105. You just, uh,
triple-bag the body parts and...Copy !req
106. Hey, Grandma.Copy !req
107. throw 'em in the trash and...Copy !req
108. Ya winning?Copy !req
109. doesn't smell at all, really.Copy !req
110. And Jeff, did you...Copy !req
111. You were, what?
Doin' experiments on the bodies?Copy !req
112. Yeah.Copy !req
113. I'd soak some parts
in acid or, uh,Copy !req
114. sometimes just boil 'em
till the flesh came off.Copy !req
115. Ah!Copy !req
116. The, uh...Copy !req
117. You know,
the compulsion had just taken overCopy !req
118. completely at that point.Copy !req
119. I wasn't even trying to stop it.Copy !req
120. Can I just get the electric chair,
you think?Copy !req
121. Jeff, did you ever hear voices?Copy !req
122. No.Copy !req
123. I'm not insane.Copy !req
124. It just got really easy, is the problem.Copy !req
125. That's why it kept happening.Copy !req
126. And your grandma
never suspected anything?Copy !req
127. No, she suspected something, just...Copy !req
128. not what I was actually doing,
I don't think.Copy !req
129. Said she heard a thud one time.Copy !req
130. - Jeff?Copy !req
131. Go back to bed.Copy !req
132. I just told her I fell.Copy !req
133. She saw I brought guys home, I think.Copy !req
134. But, uh...Copy !req
135. she didn't want to accept what that meant.Copy !req
136. That you were...Copy !req
137. Yeah, I think she justCopy !req
138. didn't want to know about my, uh...Copy !req
139. lifestyle and whatnot.Copy !req
140. But she noticed the smell?Copy !req
141. Yeah.Copy !req
142. July and August I kinda dreaded
'cause it got so humid down there.Copy !req
143. No AC.Copy !req
144. Jeff! Something smells real bad
down in the cellar.Copy !req
145. It's my taxidermy stuff.
I told you that already.Copy !req
146. And for tonight's crime report,Copy !req
147. police are asking for the public's helpCopy !req
148. in finding the people
responsible for a fireCopy !req
149. that destroyed a home in Stafford.Copy !req
150. Jeff, the smell.Copy !req
151. Oh...Copy !req
152. Uh, yeah. I seen it.Copy !req
153. It's a dead raccoon under the back porch.Copy !req
154. Can't get to it.Copy !req
155. Don't worry though.Copy !req
156. It'll smell for a while,
and then it'll stop.Copy !req
157. Why don't you think she did anything?Copy !req
158. I mean, that smell, flesh decomposing,Copy !req
159. that's a very distinctive smell.Copy !req
160. I mean, we are kinda hardwired
to be repulsed by that.Copy !req
161. Well, not everybody.Copy !req
162. But, uh, yeah, I'm not sure.Copy !req
163. I think she, uh...Copy !req
164. I think maybe
she was deliberately not seeing it.Copy !req
165. But when she found my altar,
she kinda blew her top.Copy !req
166. Watch yourself on those stairs!Copy !req
167. Oh God! You can't smell that, Jeff?Copy !req
168. No.Copy !req
169. Oh!Copy !req
170. No wonder your nana's upset.Copy !req
171. I am too now.Copy !req
172. Well, that's what it smells like, Dad.Copy !req
173. Animals and stuff.
Taxidermy, it's my hobby.Copy !req
174. Unlock it, Jeff.Copy !req
175. - I left the key at work, I think.
- Jeff, unlock it.Copy !req
176. Let me see.Copy !req
177. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
178. It is here.Copy !req
179. You're the one
that taught me to do it, you know.Copy !req
180. And now, you're, like...Copy !req
181. Wait a minute.Copy !req
182. You use that saw to cut up roadkill?Copy !req
183. It's big enough. Yeah.Copy !req
184. Like, a woodchuck skull?Copy !req
185. Can't do it with a smaller one.Copy !req
186. What is that?Copy !req
187. What?Copy !req
188. What the heck?Copy !req
189. What?Copy !req
190. What the heck? What is this?Copy !req
191. It's just... It's one of my experiments.Copy !req
192. I was just using chemicals
to try to melt the flesh and the fur off.Copy !req
193. Think that one was a skunk.Copy !req
194. Oh, you think so, Jeff?Copy !req
195. You think you could have washed
the skunk sludge down the drain better?Copy !req
196. Jeez, Jeff!Copy !req
197. - Sorry, Dad.
- God!Copy !req
198. I'll quit doing it.Copy !req
199. I mean it though.Copy !req
200. Yeah, I said I'd stop. I'll stop.Copy !req
201. Yeah, and, uh, get rid of that comic book
devil stuff too, goddammit.Copy !req
202. I know you say
it comes from a movie and all,Copy !req
203. but it's just too much for your grandma.Copy !req
204. You know that.Copy !req
205. Okay. I will.Copy !req
206. I promise.Copy !req
207. So, you did stop?Copy !req
208. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
209. For a while, months.Copy !req
210. It's funny.Copy !req
211. Once I stopped,
that's when I started to get scared.Copy !req
212. I just kept waiting to get caught.Copy !req
213. You know, every cop car I heard,
I thought they were coming for me.Copy !req
214. But, uh... never did.Copy !req
215. And I'd watch the news,Copy !req
216. but there was never any story
about anybody goin' missingCopy !req
217. or anything like that.Copy !req
218. And why do you think that was?Copy !req
219. So then I thought that, uh,Copy !req
220. I wasn't gonna get caught,Copy !req
221. if I was careful.Copy !req
222. Which made not doing it really hard.Copy !req
223. But I did try to not do it.Copy !req
224. For, uh...Copy !req
225. long periods of time.Copy !req
226. This one time...Copy !req
227. I really did screw up.Copy !req
228. No, man.Copy !req
229. Come on. Come on.Copy !req
230. Fuck!Copy !req
231. Come on, baby.Copy !req
232. - What the fuck? Jesus!
- Don't worry, I'm not a cop!Copy !req
233. What?Copy !req
234. I seen you at the bar.Copy !req
235. You need some help?Copy !req
236. Uh, no. I'm all right.Copy !req
237. Just a... dead battery.Copy !req
238. Ugh.Copy !req
239. I don't know how you're gonna fix that.
You should let me help you.Copy !req
240. - I was just—Copy !req
241. My grandma's house
is just around the corner.Copy !req
242. We can get my car,
drive back here, and give you a jump.Copy !req
243. Okay. Thanks.Copy !req
244. Yeah.Copy !req
245. Uh, I'll just wait here then.Copy !req
246. No, you should come with.Copy !req
247. This is a rough area.
You shouldn't just be sitting there.Copy !req
248. Come on. Let's grab a taxi
before we get robbed.Copy !req
249. Thanks a lot.Copy !req
250. You bet.Copy !req
251. What's your name?Copy !req
252. Jeff.Copy !req
253. Thanks, Jeff. I'm Ron.Copy !req
254. - You lock it, Ron?
- Yeah.Copy !req
255. - Good.
- So you live around here?Copy !req
256. Yeah, my grandma's.
Just for... just for now.Copy !req
257. Come on in.Copy !req
258. Hey, we gotta be quiet though.Copy !req
259. Otherwise, the beast will wake up
and start chewing me out.Copy !req
260. Come on in.Copy !req
261. Here, just make yourself at home.Copy !req
262. I gotta find my car keys.Copy !req
263. Oh God.Copy !req
264. Hey, you wanna see the fruit cellar?Copy !req
265. Fruit cellar?Copy !req
266. Nah, man. Look, I'm just here because
you said you could give me a hand, okay?Copy !req
267. Yeah, I'm gonna help you. I just...Copy !req
268. I gotta find my car keys.Copy !req
269. Just... Why don't you sit down?
Do you want a drink?Copy !req
270. No, I do not. I gotta work in the morning!
If that's not what you had in mind—Copy !req
271. Fine, quiet! I'm just being polite.Copy !req
272. Seeing if you want something is all,Copy !req
273. while you wait.Copy !req
274. You want a coffee or something?Copy !req
275. Fine.Copy !req
276. But make it quick.Copy !req
277. Yes, sir. Sanka okay?Copy !req
278. Sanka's fine. Thank you.Copy !req
279. Don't get quicker than that.Copy !req
280. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.Copy !req
281. Is somebody down there with you, Jeff?Copy !req
282. I'm fine, Grandma! It's just my friend!Copy !req
283. It's very late, Jeff!Copy !req
284. Yeah, we know!Copy !req
285. Jeez.Copy !req
286. You know there's nothing
happening here tonight, right?Copy !req
287. Like, I've made that pretty clear.Copy !req
288. We're not sleeping together or nothing.Copy !req
289. Well,Copy !req
290. we'll see.Copy !req
291. All right. Fuck you. I'm outta here.Copy !req
292. Good luck with that.Copy !req
293. You okay?Copy !req
294. Yeah, I justCopy !req
295. got real light-headed.Copy !req
296. Jeff?Copy !req
297. I think I'm gonna throw up.Copy !req
298. Just sit down a sec.Copy !req
299. - There you go. Just relax.Copy !req
300. It's okay.Copy !req
301. It's okay.Copy !req
302. You put
something in that, didn't you?Copy !req
303. Jeff!Copy !req
304. What?Copy !req
305. I think your friend
should go home now, Jeff!Copy !req
306. Yeah, we're leaving now, okay?Copy !req
307. Good night.Copy !req
308. You're so beautiful.Copy !req
309. Jeff!Copy !req
310. Who is that?Copy !req
311. It's just my friend.Copy !req
312. I didn't know you had Black friends, Jeff.Copy !req
313. Well, it's not the 1920s anymore
or whatever, Grandma.Copy !req
314. Yes. I know that.Copy !req
315. What's wrong with him?Copy !req
316. Nothing.
He just had a little too much to drink.Copy !req
317. I'm just trying to sober him up.Copy !req
318. You've been drinking.Copy !req
319. No, I haven't.Copy !req
320. Is he gonna be sick?Copy !req
321. Just go back to bed, Grandma.Copy !req
322. You should take
that young man to a hospital.Copy !req
323. What? He's just a little wasted, Grandma.Copy !req
324. I will not have some stranger
dying in my house!Copy !req
325. He'll be fine!
Just let him sleep it off! Jeez!Copy !req
326. No!Copy !req
327. Something is not right here.
I'm calling your father.Copy !req
328. Hey! Nobody's calling anybody, okay?Copy !req
329. He had a little too much to drink.
He's just gonna sleep it off.Copy !req
330. Now, go back to bed.Copy !req
331. What are you doing?Copy !req
332. I am giving this young man a blanket.Copy !req
333. And I am staying down here
and watching him until he wakes up.Copy !req
334. You don't have to do that!Copy !req
335. And if this young man is sick,
I am taking him to a hospital.Copy !req
336. Do you understand?Copy !req
337. Well, drinking is what you were doing,
and God knows what else.Copy !req
338. - This is fucking unreal!Copy !req
339. You watch your mouth, young man!Copy !req
340. You want to go up to your room,
fine, but I am staying right here!Copy !req
341. And you can bet your sweet bippy
your father's gonna hear about this.Copy !req
342. If you're so worried about him, Grandma,
why don't you call an ambulance then?Copy !req
343. Oh, I know why.Copy !req
344. Hi, buddy.Copy !req
345. Let's get you home.Copy !req
346. drink so much until it almost kills you?Copy !req
347. Well, if this is your idea of fun,
then I just don't know.Copy !req
348. I need some money, Grandma.Copy !req
349. He all right?Copy !req
350. Yeah, he's fine.Copy !req
351. Get home safe.Copy !req
352. Where's he going? Sir, will you make sure
this young man gets home all right?Copy !req
353. Where does he live?Copy !req
354. It's just down in...Copy !req
355. It's just by Marquette.Copy !req
356. Well, this bus goes down 27th Street,
the whole way.Copy !req
357. Yeah, that's what I mean, 27th Street.Copy !req
358. Okay, thank you.Copy !req
359. Hey, man, it's the end of the line.Copy !req
360. This is the end of the line.Copy !req
361. - Where am I?
- You OD'd. You're lucky to be alive.Copy !req
362. Huh? Hold... Hold on. Uh...Copy !req
363. I don't do drugs.Copy !req
364. You did last night.Copy !req
365. No, I...Copy !req
366. Ma'am, a guy I met last night,
he was weird.Copy !req
367. He must have
slipped something in my drink.Copy !req
368. Dude tried to kill me.Copy !req
369. You should talk to the police.Copy !req
370. So you're saying
this guy drugged you.Copy !req
371. How exactly did he do that?Copy !req
372. He put something in my coffee.Copy !req
373. I had one drink at the club, officer,
then I take two sips of this coffee,Copy !req
374. suddenly the room's spinning,
I can't talk.Copy !req
375. So it wasn't caffeine or—?Copy !req
376. It was Sanka.Copy !req
377. Then I wake up
the next afternoon in a hospital bed.Copy !req
378. $200 is missing, my bracelet's gone.Copy !req
379. I don't think the 200 bucks
and a bracelet—Copy !req
380. I don't care about
getting robbed, officer.Copy !req
381. This guy is drugging people.Copy !req
382. Look...Copy !req
383. I went down to the bathhouses.Copy !req
384. They say they know this guy, Jeff.Copy !req
385. He's blond.Copy !req
386. He isn't allowed in anymore
on account of he's drugging people.Copy !req
387. Okay.Copy !req
388. Like I said, we'll look into it.Copy !req
389. I'm not asking you to look into it.
I'm asking you to go and stop this guy.Copy !req
390. I understand.Copy !req
391. But stuff like this
is really hard to prove.Copy !req
392. Go to this man's house.Copy !req
393. Whatever he's using is gonna be there.Copy !req
394. - You know where his house is?
- Yes!Copy !req
395. I thought I was
gonna die in his living room.Copy !req
396. It's on 57th. Uh...Copy !req
397. Between Hayes and Lincoln.
I know right where it is.Copy !req
398. Well, Jeff,
what do you have to say for yourself?Copy !req
399. Honestly, I don't know
what he's talking about.Copy !req
400. I met this guy at the bar,
and his car needed a jump,Copy !req
401. and he was really drunk.Copy !req
402. So I said,
"You know, come back to my houseCopy !req
403. and try to sober up,
have a cup of coffee."Copy !req
404. And he just... He fell asleep on the chair.Copy !req
405. Okay, so you're saying he was just drunk?Copy !req
406. Yeah.Copy !req
407. And had you been drinking?Copy !req
408. - I had one beer, but I was fine.
- Jeffrey Dahmer.Copy !req
409. What? I got a cop askin' me
what happened, so I'm tellin' him!Copy !req
410. I was just trying to do a good thing.Copy !req
411. I mean, this guy was wasted.
Trying to drive off in his car.Copy !req
412. That's illegal, you know.Copy !req
413. If I was to have a look around
in your bedroom,Copy !req
414. I wouldn't find any, you know,
like, tranquilizers or whatnot?Copy !req
415. No. I... I don't even know
what they would look like.Copy !req
416. But sure, I mean, it's right upstairs,
if you wanna come take a look.Copy !req
417. He said that you stole some money.Copy !req
418. What?Copy !req
419. And a bracelet?Copy !req
420. No, I didn't.Copy !req
421. My grandma was with me the whole time.
Grandma, did I look through his wallet?Copy !req
422. No.Copy !req
423. He did not, and I was there
the whole time. That is true.Copy !req
424. And a bracelet?Copy !req
425. Jeez.Copy !req
426. I just don't remember
any kind of bracelet.Copy !req
427. You've gotta be kidding me.Copy !req
428. I know it's disappointing,
but we went to the house.Copy !req
429. Talked to him, talked to the grandma.Copy !req
430. You know, it's just...
There's two sides to every story.Copy !req
431. Jesus.Copy !req
432. I mean, he's an odd guy,
I'll give you that.Copy !req
433. Been arrested a couple times, but...Copy !req
434. But you should know,Copy !req
435. getting arrested doesn't suddenly
make you guilty of everything.Copy !req
436. I've never been arrested.Copy !req
437. Yeah. Okay. Well, you know.Copy !req
438. So, let me get this straight...Copy !req
439. You're gonna take the word of a white guy
who's got a criminal recordCopy !req
440. over the word of a Black man
who doesn't have a criminal record.Copy !req
441. That's what you're telling me, right?Copy !req
442. 'Cause I'm telling you
that this man tried to kill me.Copy !req
443. And you're saying
there's nothing you can do about that?Copy !req
444. Without any evidence,
yes, that's what I'm saying.Copy !req
445. - What was he arrested for?
- I can't divulge that information.Copy !req
446. Thank you for your time.Copy !req
447. Hey! Hey!Copy !req
448. - Don't get in that cab!
- What the hell?Copy !req
449. You shut your mouth, motherfucker!Copy !req
450. Brother, this dude will try to kill you!
He's fucking crazy!Copy !req
451. Oh, come on.Copy !req
452. What...? You're just gonna...?Copy !req
453. Hey!Copy !req
454. Come get your 50 dollars.Copy !req
455. No!Copy !req
456. Oh, come on. What...?Copy !req
457. I call ambulance.Copy !req
458. I call ambulance.Copy !req
459. Step down!Copy !req
460. Put that on the ground.Copy !req
461. Come with us, please.Copy !req
462. Mr. Dahmer, please stand.Copy !req
463. To the charge of sexual assault
in the second degree,Copy !req
464. you have pled no contest.Copy !req
465. Therefore, I hereby sentence you
to one year in the custodyCopy !req
466. of the Milwaukee County
House of Correction.Copy !req
467. Now, Mr. Dahmer,Copy !req
468. looking at you right now,
you remind me a lot of my grandson.Copy !req
469. Now, he had a problem with alcohol.Copy !req
470. But he turned it around.Copy !req
471. And now he has a successful car wash.Copy !req
472. You are not the kind of guy who belongs
in the correction system, okay?Copy !req
473. You need a second chance.Copy !req
474. And this is your lucky day
because I'm gonna give it to you.Copy !req
475. And on the other side of this, hopefully
you will have learned your lessonCopy !req
476. and you'll get your act together.Copy !req
477. Now, I see
that you have steady employment.Copy !req
478. So the court is willing to grant you
work release of up to 40 hours per week.Copy !req
479. When you finish your work,
you report directly back to jail.Copy !req
480. And while the court is obliged to inform
your employer of this arrangement,Copy !req
481. I'm willing to do you the favorCopy !req
482. of leaving out the exact nature
of your... misconduct.Copy !req
483. Does that sound fair to you?Copy !req
484. Yes. Thank you, Your Honor.Copy !req
485. Where are we going?Copy !req
486. Grandma's.Copy !req
487. We're gonna have
one last dinner together as a family.Copy !req
488. And then when you get out,
you're gonna get a place of your own.Copy !req
489. Because we're at our wits' end
with you, Jeff.Copy !req
490. Our wits' end!Copy !req
491. Roast is gonna take
about another ten minutes.Copy !req
492. You want another beer, Jeff?Copy !req
493. Yeah, thanks.Copy !req
494. You know, Jeff,Copy !req
495. it was your grandmother
who paid your bail.Copy !req
496. Okay? Twenty-five hundred dollars
is a lot for her.Copy !req
497. You're gonna be expected to pay that back.Copy !req
498. This whole thing was a setup.
All's I was doing was some photography.Copy !req
499. Be quiet.Copy !req
500. No more hobbies for me, I guess.Copy !req
501. Enough.Copy !req
502. Where is that box?Copy !req
503. What box?Copy !req
504. Don't play dumb.Copy !req
505. Your grandmother has a box
with all my stuff in it.Copy !req
506. Photos, ribbons, all my accomplishments.Copy !req
507. And I want you to give it back.Copy !req
508. Go get it.Copy !req
509. No, she gave it to me.Copy !req
510. Goddammit, Jeff!Copy !req
511. Get it.Copy !req
512. Fine.Copy !req
513. Are you gonna follow me?Copy !req
514. Yes, I am.Copy !req
515. Come on, open it.Copy !req
516. I can't. I lost the key.Copy !req
517. Jeff, don't lie to me!Copy !req
518. I'm not lying. I don't know where it is.Copy !req
519. Oh godda—!
There's something bad in there, Jeff.Copy !req
520. What is it, pornography?Copy !req
521. No. It's just, like, my stuff.Copy !req
522. Is it gay pornography, Jeff?Copy !req
523. Because all these years, I look under
your mattress, I don't find a Playboy.Copy !req
524. Now you're going to jail
for molesting a 13-year-old boy.Copy !req
525. No, it's just, like, my stuff,
like baseball cards!Copy !req
526. You're not gonna tell me, are you?Copy !req
527. Oh fuck,
I'll break the fuckin' thing open!Copy !req
528. Come on, Dad! What the heck?Copy !req
529. Open this fucking door, Jeff!Copy !req
530. Don't break your box, Dad.
I found the key. Right here.Copy !req
531. It's just some pornos.Copy !req
532. Put 'em in there
so Grandma wouldn't find 'em.Copy !req
533. Sorry.Copy !req
534. Yeah.Copy !req
535. Dinner's ready!Copy !req
536. We... we better get down there. Yeah.Copy !req
537. Hon, I know you're upset.Copy !req
538. It's okay.Copy !req
539. No one likes to know that their son's
going to prison in the morning.Copy !req
540. I just keep asking myself...Copy !req
541. Did I do this to him?Copy !req
542. - I mean it. Did I—
- Sweetheart.Copy !req
543. I mean, should
I have stayed in that fucking marriage?Copy !req
544. Should I have done
more things with him like taxidermy?Copy !req
545. He really loved that stuff.Copy !req
546. Honey, you can't do that to yourself.Copy !req
547. Because I really should've
pushed back harder.Copy !req
548. I should've pressed him harder
to find out what was really going on.Copy !req
549. You know?Copy !req
550. But the truth is,
he made me uncomfortable.Copy !req
551. And I really didn't wanna know...Copy !req
552. All those red flags. Oh.Copy !req
553. God.Copy !req
554. And I asked him.
You know, every time I asked him.Copy !req
555. Hello?Copy !req
556. Discharged?Copy !req
557. What the heck happened, Jeff?Copy !req
558. I don't know.
Guess they thought I drank too much.Copy !req
559. They never really said.Copy !req
560. So, what...Copy !req
561. What the heck are you doing
with a mannequin, Jeff?Copy !req
562. What? Did you steal it?Copy !req
563. I just did it on a dare.
Whole thing was just a joke.Copy !req
564. Oh.Copy !req
565. So, what were you doing
at the State Fair, Jeff?Copy !req
566. Exposing yourself?Copy !req
567. I was just peeing outside.
I didn't know anyone could see.Copy !req
568. Thanks for getting me, Dad.Copy !req
569. Why did you molest that boy?Copy !req
570. - Jeff?
- I didn't molest him.Copy !req
571. All's I did was take photos.Copy !req
572. Don't bullshit me.Copy !req
573. I'm telling you.
Didn't even know how old he was.Copy !req
574. Kid said you molested him.
Why would he lie about that?Copy !req
575. I don't know. I don't know why.
All's I did was take some pictures.Copy !req
576. I was even gonna pay him.Copy !req
577. It was all a setup.Copy !req
578. People are out to get me, Dad.
I don't understand it either.Copy !req
579. That kid's father...Copy !req
580. I can't stop seeing the look in his eye.Copy !req
581. He looked right at me.Copy !req
582. Jeff Dahmer knew my son was a child.Copy !req
583. When he met my son, he asked himCopy !req
584. what grade in school he was in.Copy !req
585. If my son was not so healthy and athletic,Copy !req
586. the drug that this man gave my son
could have killed him—Copy !req
587. Mr. Sinthasomphone,
I'm sorry. It's just, uh...Copy !req
588. I am having trouble understanding you.Copy !req
589. Could one of your children
maybe help us out here?Copy !req
590. Thank you.Copy !req
591. We are immigrants.Copy !req
592. - We work hard.Copy !req
593. We take the jobs we can get.Copy !req
594. We don't have
the money for an expensive lawyer.Copy !req
595. My family,
we're not eating or sleeping—Copy !req
596. Okay. Okay.Copy !req
597. Maybe if your father would like
to hand his letter to the bailiff,Copy !req
598. we can enter it into the record.Copy !req
599. Mr. Dahmer, please stand.Copy !req
600. To the charge of sexual assault
in the second degree,Copy !req
601. you've pled no contest.Copy !req
602. Therefore, I hereby sentence you
to one year in the custodyCopy !req
603. of the Milwaukee County
House of Correction.Copy !req
604. Dear Judge Gardner,
I believe very stronglyCopy !req
605. that my son
Jeffrey Dahmer is an alcoholic.Copy !req
606. If he isn't treated,
I have tremendous reservationsCopy !req
607. about Jeff's chances
when he hits the street.Copy !req
608. I've heard of a treatment programCopy !req
609. that has had great success
in treating alcoholicsCopy !req
610. and that Jeff's placement
in such a programCopy !req
611. is critical to his future.Copy !req
612. You're the one
that likes fucking kids, huh? Huh?Copy !req
613. I sincerely hope that you might
intervene in some way to help my son,Copy !req
614. whom I love very much.Copy !req
615. And for whom
I want a better life.Copy !req
616. I feel this may be our last chance
to do something lastingCopy !req
617. and that you,
Your Honor, might hold that key.Copy !req
618. Sincerely, Lionel Dahmer.Copy !req
619. - Hey, Dad.
- Hey.Copy !req
620. - Good to see you.
- Yeah.Copy !req
621. - Hey, Jeff. Ah. You look great.
- Hey.Copy !req
622. You lost some weight.Copy !req
623. - Well, that's good to hear.
- Yeah.Copy !req
624. Yeah.Copy !req
625. Good thing was
I got to lift weights a lot.Copy !req
626. And read a lot.Copy !req
627. - And going to work every day, that helped.
- Yeah.Copy !req
628. But, yeah, been doing good, you know.Copy !req
629. Behaving myself.Copy !req
630. Great. Just... That's just great.Copy !req
631. Um, well,Copy !req
632. so you're gonna be staying with
your grandma for a week and that's it.Copy !req
633. Then you gotta find
an apartment on your own.Copy !req
634. - But Shari and I'll help you with that.
- Okay.Copy !req
635. Um...Copy !req
636. Jeff, when you were in there, uh...Copy !req
637. uh, did anybody help you?Copy !req
638. You know, like a psychologist,Copy !req
639. or did you talk to anybody,
like a counselor?Copy !req
640. About what?Copy !req
641. Uh, anything.Copy !req
642. Um, you know, alcohol for one or, um...Copy !req
643. you know, just how you're...Copy !req
644. You know, what's going on inside of you.Copy !req
645. Or maybe, um, you know, some guidance
on how you're meant to be, um...Copy !req
646. You know...
You know, contribute to society.Copy !req
647. I don't know. Just, you know,
stuff I wasn't able to teach you.Copy !req
648. No, they just leave you alone in there.Copy !req
649. I just kept to myself the whole time.
That was kind of the best part.Copy !req
650. Come on. You said
we could stop for hamburgers.Copy !req
651. Yeah, um, here.Copy !req
652. Why don't you warm up the car?Copy !req
653. I'm parked down at the very end.
I'm gonna hit the john.Copy !req
654. - Okay.Copy !req
655. Well, here it is.Copy !req
656. Oh, shoot. Uh...Copy !req
657. Sorry.Copy !req
658. Trying to learn it.Copy !req
659. Just read my lips.Copy !req
660. I live here.Copy !req
