Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (2022): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Five white police officers
stand accused of beating a fellow officer
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
a Black man on undercover assignment.
The officer was working undercover
Monday night when his vehicle was stopped
on this street for a traffic violation.
Excuse me.
Jeff.
Oh, hey.
I gotta say,
that smell is worse than ever.
Is it?
Well, y'know,
I had that meat that went bad
in that little freezer I got.
No, you said that last week,
and I saw you go out to the dumpster
and throw out a whole bunch of bad meat,
so the smell should be gone by now.
Mm.
Oh.
I forgot. My, uh, my tropical fish died.
They get this disease.
It's... it's called ich.
Ich?
Yeah, that's what they call it.
It's, uh...
some kind of fungus.
It's something
that has to do with the, uh,
pH level of the water.
Anyway, they all caught it and died, and...
I'll clean it out this weekend.
♪ Love is blind ♪
♪ I can tell you
How I feel about you night and day ♪
Can I buy you a drink?
♪ Night and day... ♪
Who?
Both of yous.
Oh, well, should we let this gentleman
buy us both a drink?
That's awfully forward.
Two PBRs, please.
Oh. He's buying us PBR.
He must be a real player.
♪ Please don't share... ♪
You bought me a drink before.
You know that, right?
- Have I?
- Yes, bitch.
There ain't a lot of white queens
walking up in here with their blond hair.
In case you hadn't noticed.
You bought me a beer too.
Last time I was in here, just last week.
Didn't even make a move. Did he?
No, girl, he did not.
Well, then, uh,
one more for my other friend here.
How long you been
drinking tonight, sweetheart?
A little while.
Well, thank you for the beer, uh...
Jeff.
Jeff, I'm Aaron. This is Don and Tracy.
So you gonna make a move
on one of us, player?
Or you gonna walk off like last time?
No.
Tonight I'm a man of action.
What does that mean,
if you're a fine arts photographer?
You make, like, portraits and shit?
Yeah.
It's, like, art photography. Artsy stuff.
So, nudes.
Well, sometimes.
Nothing weird, though.
You guys wanna pose for me,
I could give you 50 bucks.
- Now?
- Who?
Are you asking all of us?
Yeah. All you could do it.
Just artsy stuff, nothing weird.
I don't know, honey.
I'm not dropping my drawers for no $50.
What about you?
You got a great jawline.
Really good bone structure, I can tell.
I saw you out on the dance floor.
The light was hitting it, I could tell.
All right.
Sure.
Bitch, you crazy.
Bitch, my landlord
jacked up the rent.
So what the fuck?
Don't see y'all offering me no $50.
All right.
Well, maybe we'll stop by later.
Yeah, stop by.
It's, uh, 548 North 22nd Street.
It's a nice little bungalow.
Tell me your name again.
Tracy.
Where you parked?
Oh, I live just up the street.
What kind of work you do?
Whatever work I can get.
That's the problem.
I don't really have a career.
It's like, this job, that job.
I thought you said you had a house.
No, I just said that.
I didn't want them bothering us.
Here we are.
Home, sweet home.
Whoa.
What is that smell?
I really like pork chops.
My family sent me a bunch of meat.
But I forgot
to plug that little freezer in.
And it all went bad.
Well, shit. Can I open a window?
No.
Those don't work, and, uh...
I don't like opening them up
'cause of the noise.
But I, uh... I have an air conditioner.
I can turn it on.
Just hold on a sec.
You like those photos?
Cheers.
What is that floatin' in there?
What?
No, that's probably just dish soap
or something like that.
Drink it.
Uh...
Sorry, man. I think I'm gonna go.
No.
Don't leave.
Why does everybody always wanna leave me?
Leave you?
What you mean, leave you?
I need some fresh air. It stinks in here.
Well, hey, I said
I'd turn on the air conditioner.
Okay. Where is it?
In the bedroom.
Okay, well, go turn it on.
Well, I wanna show you around first.
Look at these guys.
Hmm.
Yeah. Look at that one.
Gotta have a little funeral for him.
See, they're fighting fish.
You're not supposed
to put two of 'em in the same tank.
But... I like watching 'em fight.
- The fuck?
- What?
What are you doing?
Nothing, it's for the photos.
- Stop!
- Where you going?
Stop trying to leave.
- Let go! Help!
- Stop.
Hey, stop yelling! Stop it!
Ah!
Stop!
You're gonna make me do things
I don't wanna do.
Oh. Fuck!
Do what I say.
- Okay.
- Or I'll fuckin' kill you.
Calm down.
All right?
It's just for the photos. I was kidding.
- You're pointing a knife at me!
- Calm down and I won't have to.
Why do you have to get all emotional?
Just calm down, go in there.
- Go on.
- I'm not going in there!
Stop yelling!
I got neighbors.
Now, that's where
the air conditioner is, okay?
You just... go in there.
- Please!
- Okay. Okay, I'll go.
I'll go in there.
Sit down.
On the bed.
Now relax.
What are you gonna do?
Told you.
We're gonna hang out, gonna watch a movie.
Gonna take some pictures.
And then I'll pay you.
What is that?
What're we gonna do in here?
Oh, okay!
Quit doing that!
Stop trying to leave.
Okay. Okay.
I told you I'm gonna pay you.
Okay?
Just stop.
You feel my little orisons
creeping up your spine?
The sweaty murmurs of my rosary beads.
The human hearts I've taken into hell.
I cast you out, unclean spirit!
Along with every
satanic power of the enemy!
Every specter from hell.
In the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
It is he who commands you.
He who stilled the sea and the storm.
Hey.
Hey, let's go in the other room, okay?
- I wanna watch the movie.
- Yeah, I know.
We'll watch
the movie in a second, okay?
I have an idea, and I think...
What is it?
I think...
Think you're gonna like it.
Are you high yet?
Yeah.
Okay, what do you wanna show me?
I mean, you want
to take some photos, right?
Huh?
But you gotta put that knife down.
Okay?
C'mon, man. You're scaring me.
Yeah.
There, see?
Get the camera.
It's in the bedroom.
Go get it.
Come on, man.
Go get it.
I'm not leaving, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You wanna take some photos, right?
Huh?
Come on.
- Okay, that's enough.
- Wait.
I wanna watch the movie now.
We'll watch the movie first, but I want
to take some nudes, all right?
That's why you brought me here, right?
All right.
Yeah, fine.
Let's go.
Hey, you know.
I don't like horror movies, honey.
They scare me.
What's so scary?
Death is, uh...
just a part of life.
Why you so nervous?
I'm not.
Are you scared of the movie
or are you scared of me?
Uh...
The movie.
It's a scary movie.
Am I weird?
No.
No, you're not weird.
Okay.
So,
what movie is this again?
It's The Exorcist III.
I watch it every day.
Hold on.
I'm just gonna skip to the best part.
I'm almost ready.
Right here.
In the name of the...
This is it.
Can I listen to your heartbeat?
Why?
Your heart's racing.
Why you doing that?
Huh?
I want to hear your heart
'cause I'm gonna eat it.
Ah.
Come on!
Help me!
He tried to kill me.
Help me! Help me!
Help!
Help me, please!
Help! Somebody call the police!
Help me!
- What the fuck?
- Help, please.
Help.
Police.
Help me. Help me.
Oh, light it up.
Officers,
this motherfucker down the street...
- Whoa. Stay where you are.
- He tried to...
Okay.
What's going on, son?
You high? You take something tonight?
Why you wearing handcuffs?
'Cause he tried to fucking kill me.
I'm telling you.
Black people
are disappearing all over the city.
- People are killing them.
- Yeah.
That's it.
- Can I help you?
- Is that him?
Your name is Jeff, right?
Did you handcuff this man?
Yes. Uh...
It's just fun and games.
You know, like,
he and I, we're both, uh, homosexuals, so...
you know.
- He wanted to play cops and robbers.
- No, I didn't.
Hey, you let us handle this, okay?
Well, like I said before,
we were just, uh, playing around and, uh...
You know.
I guess us gay guys can get into
that roughhousing frat boy stuff.
Do you have the key to the handcuffs?
Yes.
Yeah, they're...
It's somewhere in here. I just, uh...
I think it might be in a drawer. Um...
I'll find it. I'll be right back.
You mind if we come in?
Uh...
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
- You want to come in?
- Hell no.
I'm staying right here.
What's that smell, Jeff?
Oh. Uh...
I really like cooking pork chops,
and family sent me
a bunch of meat, but it all went bad.
- Is there anyone else here right now?
- No.
Where's this key, do you think?
Um...
I think it might be in the bedroom.
I'll find it.
- There's a bunch of gay stuff in there.
- Hey, we'll take a look.
Okay, where now?
You said in a drawer?
Uh, yeah, I think it's, uh...
Uh...
It's, uh, yeah, bedside table.
- Here?
- Yeah, actually, I could...
- Back off. Stand there.
- Sorry.
Oh, okay.
It's right here.
What is it?
Photos.
That's, uh, gay stuff.
What is it?
God damn. These are real.
Grab him!
- Got him?
- Yeah, I got him.
Sir, you're under arrest
for the attempted murder...
of the man out there.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will
be used against you in a court of law.
Yeah, see?
20-12 requesting
additional units on location.
Yeah, they got you.
You killed my people, you motherfucker.
...one will be provided to you.
- Fuck you, piece of shit!
- You understand the rights I read?
For what I did I should be dead.
I hope you die, motherfucker.
Fuck you.
I fucking hope you die, you piece of shit.
I lived in here.
I been smelling it.
All these people
been living in here, all this time
with the smell and all these sounds
coming out of there, and we...
- Officer, officer, clear a lane.
- Ma'am, back in your apartment.
- I'm not going back in my apartment!
- Back inside.
- No, you gonna listen to me!
- Nobody in until the detectives show.
And it's because I called y'all.
I called y'all, and I told you
over and over a million times
that something was going on,
and you know what you did?
Y'all did nothing!
So what did y'all find in there? Huh?
What did you find in there?
Hello.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is his father.
Okay. Okay, okay.
Yes.
Yeah, I'll be there right away.
What is it?
It's Jeff.
Mr. Dahmer, I'm Detective Kennedy
with the Milwaukee Police Department.
This is Detective Murphy.
We're going to apologize
in advance, Mr. Dahmer.
This is likely
to be a difficult conversation.
Okay. But Jeff's alive?
Yes.
Jeffrey was arrested late last night.
Arrested? For what?
Attempted murder.
We'd just like
to ask you some questions about him.
Murder?
Wha...?
When you said
there was a murder investigation,
I thought someone
might have tried to murder him.
Well, he was always a...
He was a strange boy.
But he was a quiet boy. He was a good boy.
When his mother and I divorced,
it was very hard on him.
He just turned 18.
He was living alone at the time.
And I think being alone...
is very difficult for him.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for becoming emotional.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Is there anything else
you'd like to tell us?
Mm-hmm.
When he was young, I think he was four,
he had a hernia operation.
And he was never the same after that.
And I don't know if
there was brain damage
from, you know, too much anesthesia.
It's haunted me.
A hernia operation?
You think that it might have, what?
Damaged him?
Could you tell me
a little bit about what he did?
Um...
Who this person was
that he tried to kill, I guess.
You're aware
that your son is homosexual, yes?
Allegedly, he lured a man back
to his apartment and tried to kill him.
Uh, the man got away,
and when the police arrived
to arrest your son,
well, they found various
items around the apartment that indicate
that your son
has committed multiple murders.
Wha...
What items? What...
What are you talking about?
I'm just gonna tell you right now,
this is gonna be difficult
to hear, Mr. Dahmer.
There was a human head
in his refrigerator.
Two plastic bags in the freezer.
Each containing a human heart.
Another containing a set
of male genitalia.
In the bedroom,
there was five more skulls.
Knives and hammers and saws
and Polaroids
documenting the dismemberments.
In another drawer,
we found a complete human skeleton,
the bones had been bleached.
A dried scalp.
And then a 57-gallon vat.
Filled with acid.
Inside were three torsos
in various stages of decomposition,
as well as other body parts
that he was attempting to dissolve or...
strip the tissue off the bones.
We don't know.
And, uh, we should just tell you
that based on debris
on some of the cooking utensils we found
and the marks on some of the body parts,
as well as things
your son mentioned to us,
we believe...
he ate some of his victims.
Now, we realize
that this is a lot for you to process.
So we're gonna leave you alone
for a few minutes
to, uh, collect yourself.
And then, when you're ready,
we can keep talking.
Some neighbors here
had complained of a stench
for almost a year,
but they never imagined
what might be causing it.
Milwaukee police were led
to an apartment in this building
after they were flagged down
by a handcuffed man
who claimed he'd been attacked.
What they discovered upon their arrival
was almost unspeakable.
Numerous pieces
from as many as 15 human bodies.
It's obvious that there
has been a number of human specimens
found within the apartment...
...and to a certain extent,
they're hidden in there.
A hazardous materials team,
breathing from air tanks,
stand accused of beating a fellow officer
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
a Black man on undercover assignment.
The officer was working undercover
Monday night when his vehicle was stopped
on this street for a traffic violation.
Excuse me.
Jeff.
Oh, hey.
I gotta say,
that smell is worse than ever.

Well, y'know,

in that little freezer I got.
No, you said that last week,

that has to do with the, uh,

Anyway, they all caught it and died, and...
I'll clean it out this weekend.

that something was going on,
and you know what you did?
Y'all did nothing!
So what did y'all find in there? Huh?
What did you find in there?
Hello.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is his father.
Okay. Okay, okay.
Yes.
Yeah, I'll be there right away.
What is it?
It's Jeff.
Mr. Dahmer, I'm Detective Kennedy
with the Milwaukee Police Department.
This is Detective Murphy.
We're going to apologize
in advance, Mr. Dahmer.
This is likely
to be a difficult conversation.
Okay. But Jeff's alive?
Yes.
Jeffrey was arrested late last night.
Arrested? For what?
Attempted murder.
We'd just like
to ask you some questions about him.
Murder?
Wha...?
When you said
there was a murder investigation,
I thought someone
might have tried to murder him.
Well, he was always a...
He was a strange boy.
But he was a quiet boy. He was a good boy.
When his mother and I divorced,
it was very hard on him.
He just turned 18.
He was living alone at the time.
And I think being alone...
is very difficult for him.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for becoming emotional.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Is there anything else
you'd like to tell us?
Mm-hmm.
When he was young, I think he was four,
he had a hernia operation.
And he was never the same after that.
And I don't know if
there was brain damage
from, you know, too much anesthesia.
It's haunted me.
A hernia operation?
You think that it might have, what?
Damaged him?
Could you tell me
a little bit about what he did?
Um...
Who this person was
that he tried to kill, I guess.
You're aware
that your son is homosexual, yes?
Allegedly, he lured a man back
to his apartment and tried to kill him.
Uh, the man got away,
and when the police arrived
to arrest your son,
well, they found various
items around the apartment that indicate
that your son
has committed multiple murders.
Wha...
What items? What...
What are you talking about?
I'm just gonna tell you right now,
this is gonna be difficult
to hear, Mr. Dahmer.
There was a human head
in his refrigerator.
Two plastic bags in the freezer.
Each containing a human heart.
Another containing a set
of male genitalia.
In the bedroom,
there was five more skulls.
Knives and hammers and saws
and Polaroids
documenting the dismemberments.
In another drawer,
we found a complete human skeleton,
the bones had been bleached.
A dried scalp.
And then a 57-gallon vat.
Filled with acid.
Inside were three torsos
in various stages of decomposition,
as well as other body parts
that he was attempting to dissolve or...
strip the tissue off the bones.
We don't know.
And, uh, we should just tell you
that based on debris
on some of the cooking utensils we found
and the marks on some of the body parts,
as well as things
your son mentioned to us,
we believe...
he ate some of his victims.
Now, we realize
that this is a lot for you to process.
So we're gonna leave you alone
for a few minutes
to, uh, collect yourself.
And then, when you're ready,
we can keep talking.
Some neighbors here
had complained of a stench
for almost a year,
but they never imagined
what might be causing it.
Milwaukee police were led
to an apartment in this building
after they were flagged down
by a handcuffed man
who claimed he'd been attacked.
What they discovered upon their arrival
was almost unspeakable.
Numerous pieces
from as many as 15 human bodies.
It's obvious that there
has been a number of human specimens
found within the apartment...
...and to a certain extent,
they're hidden in there.
