6. Astoria Helen

Complete story — includes the ending

A charming con man named Joe Gallagher ( Creighton James ) targets a lonely, single mother, Helen Bramer ( Arija Bareikis ) who works for an armored truck company to obtain routing information. He and his two associates then rob an armored truck carrying millions of new dollars, but six months later one of trio dies in a bomb blast when he attempts to retrieve money from their stolen van. Detectives Nichols and Wheeler investigate, and following a series of leads, consider Bramer and Gallagher to be the prime suspects although Gallagher is supposedly dead. They track down Gallagher, but when the stolen van owner, Frank Stroup ( Domenick Lombardozzi ) abducts Bramer's son Kevin, the detectives realize that Stroup is the third man. They convince Bramer and Gallagher to reveal Stroup's location and Detective Nichols negotiates the boy's release and Stroup's surrender by blaming everything on Gallagher.
