[shovels clanking]

[indistinct chatter]

[dog sniffing]

[dog whimpering]

Found something, sir.

[dog barking]

I believe this is part of a femur.

[Kennedy] So, the remains they found
in your dad's backyard, they...

corroborate your story
about that first victim.

[Jeffrey] The hitchhiker?

That's right.

And, uh, why did you
scatter the bones around?

Was it just to get rid of the evidence?

Um...

Well,

I just kinda panicked at that point.

I, uh...

I tried smashin' the bones,

but the insides, uh, were...

wet, you know.

Couldn't, uh, smash 'em into a powder.

So I, uh...

Then I decided to put 'em in the oven,

to, uh, you know,

dry 'em out and, uh, that did the trick.

Then I could smash 'em into bits.

But why scatter the bones
around the entire yard?

I think I just
wanted him to still be around.

Like the idea of...

little pieces of him
being everywhere, you know?

Surrounding me.

I know that sounds horrible.

[Kennedy] Well, Jeff, it actually
doesn't matter what we think.

But... I do think I was born like this.

Like, I don't think there was something
that happened that made me like this.

'Cause this was always just

how I was.

'Cause, uh...

after the hitchhiker...

I didn't wanna do it again for a while.

Or I wanted to.

I thought about doing it, a lot sometimes,

but, uh, I was able to push it down.

And it didn't happen again for, um...

nine years.

It's interesting.

That psychologist, or psychiatrist,
you guys got me talkin' to,

he said something
that really stuck with me.

[man] So as you
were cutting your victims up,

was it sexually arousing for you?

Oh, yeah.

- Very much so.
- Yeah.

I, uh...

I liked how
the organs looked when I held them.

They had a, uh, a shine to 'em.

There's a term for what you're describing.

It's called splanchnophilia.

When someone finds viscera,
internal organs, sexually arousing.

And this shininess you describe enjoying
is one of its main components.

Human beings, and men in particular,

we tend to like our objects shiny.

And there's a sexual aspect to it as well.

You open a swimsuit issue,
the women are all wet.

It's like we're drawn to it.

It could be that wetness,
with regards to the vagina,

is a signal
of a woman's readiness for sex.

We could very well be hardwired for it.

Hm.

[Kennedy] But if this
was something you were born with,

this compulsion
that you struggled with all the time,

how did you wait
those nine years in between?

Or why?

Oh, I was trying to be a good boy.

[school bell ringing]

[woman] Okay, now. Front row,
Tina, Andrew, Mark Norton,

Sasha, Andrea, Mark D'Angelo, Dan.

[man 2] Okay, let's all squeeze in.

Congratulations, everybody, by the way.

You're the cream of the crop, huh?

[chuckles] Okay.

Everyone smile and...

[bulb snaps]

Great. Let's get one more.

[bulb snaps]

- Very good, guys. Thank you.
- [boy] Okay.

Tina, you stay. Ecology Club is next.

[girl] Oh my God, they're beautiful.

[boy] They look amazing. Congrats, Derek.

[Derek] Thanks.
Such great work, everybody.

- Layout looks great, Dan.
- Thanks.

Hold on. Wait a sec.
Turn to page 36, the Honor Society photo.

[pages flipping]

- What the fuck? How did he get in there?
- [girl] I don't know.

Dan, how did you not catch this?

[Dan] I'm sorry.
I didn't see him in the photo.

[girl] That's your goddamn job, Dan.

[Derek] Jeff Dahmer
has like a two GPA, Dan!

Motherfucker!

["Even Now" by Barry Manilow playing]

She's not gonna blow her top.

Yes, she will.

I'm just apologizing in advance
for dragging you into family stuff,

you know.

Well, what's she got to be upset about?

You were miserable,
you got divorced, you're moving on.

She should be happy for you.
She should be moving on.

That's the thing, Shari,
she doesn't want me to be happy.

And, uh, when I bring
a hot babe into the house,

she's gonna lose it, believe me.

[chuckling] Well, so what if she does?

I can handle it.

I'll just blow my top right back at her.

I'm a tough cookie,
in case you hadn't noticed.

Mmm. I had noticed.

♪ And I found a better life
Than what we had ♪

Would you keep your eyes on the road?

[door opens]

[door open, closes]

[Lionel] Joyce?

Jeez.

This house looks like a tornado hit it.

[Jeffrey] Didn't know
you guys were comin'.

What the heck's going on here?

What's with all the alcohol, Jeff?

Just threw a party.

Well, look around, why don't you?

This place is a mess!

So is this her?

Shari.

This is Jeff. Jeez, Jeff.

Hi, Jeff.

- Hi.
- Where's your mom at?

I don't know. She left.

Well, where'd she go?

I don't know.

Well, when did she leave?

Like three months ago.

I'm sorry, what?

[sighs] It's always the same with her.

The only person
she's thought of is herself.

And here, she's leaving
an 18-year-old boy alone in the house.

Nobody to cook for him or anything.
God knows what you've been eating.

Honestly, it's criminal.
That she would do that...

- Goddammit. Excuse me.
- Dad.

I'm okay.

No, Jeff, you're not okay.

You've been drinking.

I saw the empty cans,
and I smell it on you.

You're not okay.

Come on, I want you to drink that.

I don't like coffee.

Yeah, well, I need you to sober up
because this is important.

We have to figure out how
we're gonna get your life in order, okay?

[sighs]

Okay?

[Shari] Oh.

That's an awful lot of sugar, Jeff.

What do you care? You're not my mom.

- I just met you.
- Jeff.

- No, Lionel, it's okay. It's okay.
- I don't know what to say.

You're right, Jeff. I'm not your mom.

But I love your father,
which means I love you.

Okay?

Sometimes that's gonna come
in the form of tough love.

[spoon clinking]

[clatters]

Well, you managed to graduate.
That's, um, that's an accomplishment.

Barely. But yeah.

You apply to any colleges?

No.

You know, Jeff... I mean, what the heck...?

What have you been doing?

- It's probably too late now.
- That's why I didn't apply.

Jeff.

You know, you were always
so good at science. It's...

I don't, I don't know.

I know most of the guys who are going
to college for science, and they get...

they get good grades and stuff.

My grades are shit.

Well, what about community college?

Community college, that's, like,

for failures.

Well, I mean,
that might be where we're at.

[breathing deeply]

Yeah.

But, like, uh...

[sniffs]

That's what I am.

Why am I trying to pretend
to be something I'm not?

You know?

I'm

not a good kid.

Dad, I'm not a normal guy.

I don't fit in. I'm weird. I don't...

I'm different from everybody else.

- There's something wrong with me, I think.
- Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, just come on.

- Don't. This is...
- No, I'm serious, Dad.

There's things that I want to do, and...

And there's stuff
that I've done that I, uh...

I don't know.

I think I should tell you about...

About, uh...

About some of the fantasies that I've had.

Okay, so, wait a minute.

Is this sex stuff
you're talkin' about here?

Yeah. That's part of it.

You know what? Hey, I'm sorry.

- I just got an idea. Just... [chuckles]
- What?

Um...

[laughs]

- Ohio State.
- Oh.

[laughs]

We're gonna get him into Ohio State.
We are. Gonna get you into Ohio State.

Huh? Yeah, I'll even
pay for the first semester.

Oh.

Got a great science program.

What do you think?

Huh?

I think...

I think that sounds good.

[Lionel] Good.

[laugh]

It's decided then.
That's what we're gonna do.

- Okay.
- What do you think?

I think it's a great idea.
Are you kidding?

Aw.

[can pops, hisses]

[Lionel] You better be having
the time of your life.

It sounds like you are,
for goodness' sakes.

All the money we gave you to come here,
and now I get a call from the dean.

Okay, I'm just gonna cut to the chase.
Is Jeff going to class?

No.

It's all these morning classes.
I can't wake up for 'em.

What's your GPA?

Jeff's GPA is a 0.45.

Oh, Jesus.

Jesus.

[sighs]

Okay.

We're gonna get those grades up.
[chuckles]

Mr. Dahmer, you don't understand.

Jeff has been expelled.

Dad. Wait up. You're walking too fast.

You're going in the fucking Army.

[Lionel] There he is.

Oh, well, look at that.

[Shari] Look at him.

- [gasps]
- [Lionel] Who is that?

Hey, guys.

- Hi, Dad.
- [Shari] So handsome.

- Shari. How are you?
- [Lionel] Oh my gosh.

- Hi, Jeff.
- Good to see you.

Dad.

Jeff, gosh. You just... You look just great.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

It's good to be home.

- [sighs]
- Come on. Come on in.

["Away in a Manger" playing on stereo]

So, how you liking it?

[Jeffrey] Uh, yeah, I like it all right.

- Glad basic training's over.
- Oh.

So what do they got you doing?

Well, I... I trained
to be a medical specialist.

So I'll be probably doing,
like, combat medic stuff.

- Medical specialist. You hear that?
- Ah!

- A combat medic!
- Jeff.

These are hypnotic medications
that ensure adequate rest and recovery.

[eerie music playing]

Yes, Dahmer.

Which one was that again?

What was the name?

Halcion.

We get great results. Very effective.

[Lionel] You see, son, I told you.

All that science stuff
you've been interested in your whole life,

I knew it was gonna pay off for you.

Well, you were right.

["Jingle Bells" continues]

They're shipping me off

Like, someplace
called Baumholder or something.

You hear that, Shar?

- [Shari] Man, Jeff!
- Ha!

Wow.

Maybe you'll run into

some of your relatives,
you know, from the old country.

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.

- Gotta look 'em up.
- Yep.

Wow.

Germany.

[Lionel chuckles]

Can you believe it?

[brakes screech]

[Lionel sighs]

Hey! Get your ass out of the car. Now!

Okay, before we go in,
I just want to make myself very clear.

You understand?

This ain't easy street.
You're 21 years old.

You flunked out
and got kicked out of the Army.

There's no more free rides.
There's no drinking.

You're gonna get yourself a full-time job

and you're gonna help your grandma
around the house.

You got that?!

Yes, sir.

[melancholy music playing]

[Jeffrey] Grandma, what's in this box?

Oh, those are photos of your father.
You want to take a look?

Yeah.

Just turn this key right here.

It's a nice click.

Oh!

Here's your father.

I can't remember
what birthday that was. Maybe five?

Oh. Look at him. Such a dear, dear boy.

Now, here, that's the science fair.

He's holding up a ribbon,
so he must have won a prize.

Here, he's much older.

This is a family reunion

at your Great-Uncle Roland's house
in Stevens Point.

He was a good boy,
your father, his whole life.

Wish I had a box like that.

Well, you could have this one, I suppose.

What do you need a box for?

No, I mean,

I don't even have any memories
like that to put in a box.

I haven't won a ribbon
for anything my whole life.

Like a... a bad egg.

I got a screw loose up here or something.

Jeff Dahmer, you look at me.

There isn't a thing wrong with you
that we can't fix.

I think you just need
to find a nice girl, that's all.

And also, there's the drinking.

Now, that is a problem.

I've hardly been drinking at all, Grandma.

I still think you could do better,
wouldn't you say?

And I know I'm just
a worn-out, broken record here, but

I think you should start
coming back to church again.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Because the things you do
that set you off course,

the alcohol,

the keeping to yourself
and stewing in your own thoughts,

those are temptations, Jeff.

And I think if you came back to church,
it would help you understand

and resist those temptations.

What do you think's tempting me?
The devil?

Yeah. Absolutely, I do.

You're a good boy, Jeff.
You're every bit as good as your father.

You just have different challenges
than he did.

Everybody's got something different
they're fighting with.

You're good deep down, Jeff.

You may not believe it, but I sure do.

Thanks, Grandma.

[sighs]

[Polish folk music playing]

[Wally] So, you work in deli before?

Yeah, in Miami.

Just making sandwiches and stuff.

Okay, you're making sandwiches too,
but this is Polish deli,

so you're doing sausages
and preparing the meats.

It's an art to be a butcher.

Never thought about it like that.

Of course it's an art.

I am butcher.
I am learning in Poland from my father.

His father was butcher.

It's bloody work. It's dangerous.

Last guy, he was dumb. Not pay attention.

Guy cut off his thumb.

So I need someone who's serious.

Steady hand, not going to fuck around.

Yeah, I got a real steady hand
with that kind of stuff.

I pay minimum wage,
no overtime, and you gotta look nice.

Even you in back,
you in nice clothes, okay?

- Okay.
- [Wally grunts]

Come. I show you freezer.

[grandmother] Jeff.

Aw. Thanks, Grandma.

Could you just
leave the sheets outside my door?

Kinda like to make my own bed.

Thanks, Grandma.

[gasps]

[water running]

[Jeffrey] Hey, Grandma. I'm home.

Grandma!

- Grandma, where's my thing?
- What?

You know, my... mannequin.

What do you have that for?

Where'd you get that?

I'm not telling
till you tell me where it is.

What do you have that for, Jeff?

Jeff, I want to tell you something.

I love you no matter what.

Do you have, you know, feelings for...

No, I don't want to talk about that.

We could go to church and pray about it
because Jesus Christ can do amazing...

[screaming] Where is my fucking mannequin?

I told you not to go in there!

It is my room, it is my stuff,

so fucking tell me where it is!

I don't think it's healthy!

I... I threw it away.

You threw it away?

Yes. The garbage man
took it this afternoon.

Author James Clavell
wrote a very successful novel,

which became one of the big hits
of the 1980 television scene.

The story deals with a shipwrecked
English navigator in 17th-century Japan.

I'm...

Correct! Shōgun.

...really sorry, Grandma.

I shouldn't have yelled like that.

And I'm sorry I broke your butter dish.

It's not

like you said I am.

I would never bring shame
on the family like that.

I think I just...

want a friend.

Well, I accept your apology.

But I don't like the cursing.

No. Jeff, I heard what happened
at the state fair.

I can't have you in here. No, get out!

[woman] So that was your job in the Army?

Uh, yes, a, uh, combat medic.

Or medical specialist, they call it.

[woman] Oh wow, okay.

You're probably a perfect fit then.

I see you were honorably discharged.
Can I ask why?

Uh... [clears throat]

Well, to be honest
I had a little trouble with alcohol.

But, uh, I'm sober now.

I see. Good for you.

Thanks.

Going to meetings and stuff.
Just one day at a time.

That's really great. Congratulations.

Thanks.

You might actually be
a little overqualified for this position.

[Jeffrey] Doug, uh, Brozovsky.

That's me.

Make a fist.

Good veins.

Thanks.

[air hisses]

[Jeffrey] Can you relax?

I used to do this all the time.

Get my blood drawn.

I donated it.

It's how I got my beer money.

Did it so much,
they told me I couldn't do it anymore.

Okay.

[grandmother] I am so proud of you.

You quit drinking,
and this new job is working out.

Medical! Ha!

Have you talked to your father?

No.

He thinks I'm a shithead.

Sorry to curse.

Oh, no he doesn't.

I mean, he's angry
about you getting arrested.

A misdemeanor. Seventy-dollar fine.

It's my fault too
for telling you about the beer tent,

but that's behind you now,
is all I'm saying.

[chuckles]

What's going on?

You're not even eating
your little brownie.

That's the best part of a Swanson's.

Oh, I'm just not that hungry tonight.
