You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 episodes from the dusty vault, plus content not available anywhere else on the Internet, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.
In episode 47, we follow the unusual narrative of the Northcott family. They came from Canada--and who knows what atrocities they committed there--but when they came to California to practice their evil habits, they were caught, though not soon enough. As many as eight young men may have been tortured and murdered on their Wineville farm, but none of them seemed to be able to tell the truth, even when their lives depended on it. One would go to prison, and one would pay the ultimate price for their crimes, but that hardly seems enough.This is the crime that inspired the 2008 Clint Eastwood film “The Changeling”
