The Jacksons hire Brierly's to find their missing daughter, Deirdre (or Dee) , and Anna is put on the case. She finds Dee, who is now working for a video company, but Dee says she is happy and doesn't want to see her parents.

Then Dee is found dead in her car, and the police say it was an accident, but her father doesn't believe it. Anna thinks Fred Slinger, the boss of Dee's firm, knows something, and she gets a job with him, pretending to be a camerawoman. She finds that Slinger is running a pirate video scam and that Dee was blackmailing him. Slinger is arrested and admits Dee fell to her death after a tussle on some stairs, and he tried to cover it up. Add a recap »
