Apology, 1989

"I don't like what happened. I mean, notwithstanding any speculation about the kind of personality that I might be, I, it's not gratuitous for me to say that I feel horrible about it. And not that, sadly enough, won't bring her back, but I do. And it's not enough to say it's an atrocity because it was. And not that anybody cares, but if it should ever occur to you to relate this to anybody, you can tell them that I get no secret joy or pleasure out of it. That my own special kind of hell and madness that I lived in ten, twenty years ago was as wrong and as terrible as it could be. And I'm sorry."

you said it way better than I did with a whole lot less words

This sounds like Colorado?

Him getting no joy or pleasure now is entirely different from him getting that in the past. It’s perfectly possible this is a genuine apology.

"you can tell them that I get no secret joy or pleasure out of it. That my own special kind of hell and madness that I lived in ten, twenty years ago was as wrong and as terrible as it could be. And I'm sorry," This can't be true, considering how he went back to the bodies after killing them and kept ra*ing them over and over until the body had long decomposed and he couldn't any longer. It also can't be true that he didn't have a sick pleasure out of it considering what he did to little Kimberly Leach. It's frustrating because it's like even when he seems to be making and effort to be sincere he's not being sincere. I'm not saying he should recount in horrid detail, well I did this, and I sure loved the hell out of doing that, but at least say there were parts I enjoyed in my own way. SOMETHING, that would've shown a willingness to be open

It's difficult to measure the words of a psychopath but his repeated sighing, sniffing, and the way his voice loses strength and fades when he says "because it was" leads me to believe he's feeling a certain type of regret here.

Do you have the one where he says sorry and he's crying? Bill (I think) says something about sorry being worth something and Ted elaborates that he knows things about himself that he didn't know then and he mentions the "senselessness" of what he's done.

Joy Mulvaney

He should’ve been crying his eyes out like a baby who lost his teddy bear. I’m not falling for it. He freaking LOVED what he did. Absolutely crazy!!!

It sounds like a priest? is talking with him, I hear someone possibly giving him a sacrament in the background.

It could be lLiz or, but i am not sure. Don´t know. But i got her name up in my head when i heard it….

Gosh, it almost seems sincere for once. The 1989 Dobson one before his execution did not at all, but in some strange way did. Especially the conscious awareness that simply saying it was an "atrocity" obviously isn't enough; the earlier Ted would have simply dismissed everything as mere dehumanised atrocities. But what strikes me more he is decentering himself for once, "not that anyone cares" etc. It's like he's realised there's a whole world out there full of people whose lives are as meaningful as his if not more. What preceded this? Who was "her?". He alludes to what he said before, what was it?
