00:00Remember that small wooden box?
00:04Yeah, you know what was in it.
00:11Police have arrested 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer.
00:13He's being called the cannibal killer.
00:16In trying to make sense of the things his son had done,
00:19Lionel later recorded his conversations with Jeffrey in prison.
00:23To hear Jeffrey Dahmer have a conversation with his father is brand new.
00:32This is Jeffrey Dahmer as he actually is.
00:35I had weird thoughts, too, in my childhood.
00:41You're just like me, Jeff.
00:43Amazingly, all the times I should have been caught, I never was.
00:46Nothing, absolutely nothing, is too great not to be forgiven.
00:54Lionel's now finding out the really dark, dark truth of his son.
00:58The ultimate power trip is to decide the fate of another human being.
01:03Jeffrey Dahmer, he's tormented, he's tortured by these fantasies,
01:08but they're just not going away.
01:11This is what evil looks like.
01:14He loved his father. He has to make his father proud.
01:18It is going to be painful. It is going to be painful.
01:23I had an encounter with Jeffrey Dahmer. He tried to kill me.
01:28That is where Jeffrey learned or fine-tuned his ability to mix drugs and drug people.
01:36The bodies are literally piling up in his apartment.
01:40He felt that by eating a part of the body, it would become part of him.
01:47What was the very first fantasy, I was wondering,
01:50that you can remember having?
01:52What you thought to yourself was kind of odd or disturbing.
01:57Someone loved him the same way that someone loved his victims.
02:02When I hear the tapes, I hear a father looking for answers.
02:06What have you been doing lately?
