10 January 2017
12:00 am

Sam: Thanks for being in my life Racy. Today whatever may happen but remember that we'll be always together.

12:01 am

Racy: Common Sam, you are the great detective. You must know the solution.
Sam: I don't know Racy.

12:02 am

Racy: Think Sam! You're the best in solving. Solve the mystery.

12:03 am

Sam: For the first time I guess, I am completely dependent on luck. What does our luck select for us Racy?
Racy: I don't know!

12:04 am

Racy: Which one should I cut Sam?
Sam: All my life, I had always believed in facts and never did I ever believe in luck. So I guess today, luck won't support me.

12:05 am

Racy: I'll have to cut one of these. We have to take the chance.

12:06 am

Sam: its simple Racy, I leave it at you! Select anyone of your choice.
Racy: Ok then!

12:07 am

Sam: Whoever he was, he wanted to see me suffering before I die. That's the reason he made it all so easy. He wanted me to have hopes till the end.

12:08 am

Sam: Wait a second; he wanted me to hopes till the last second. That means he wanted me to be completely dependent on luck!

12:09 am

Sam: He wanted me, to leave it all to luck. In a recent interview I revealed my favorite colour. Racy! Don't cut the...

12:10 am

Anurag was staring at the building. It was quite all around. Everyone waited for this minute to pass and that's what happened.

12:11 am

Sam: Racy! Racy!!
Racy: Sam! I did it! We are safe!
Sam: Yes Racy! Well done! Which one did you cut?
Racy: The yellow one, because Blue was the favorite colour of my childhood love. He once tied both of our hands with one blue scarf and said that we will never break it. The colour blue is the link between us.
Sam: Racy! Help will come soon. Now it's time we take some rest.
Sam's phone started ringing and it was again the unknown caller.
Caller: Hey Detective! You know someone named Prasanna? Well he is on a ship which will start exploding soon! After all, all this is related to The Drowning Ship. So let's make a real world version of it!
The call for disconnected. Racy and Sam were rescued from the building. Racy was sent to the hospital immediately. Anurag had a bad news for Sam. Sam's prime suspect, Ravi Gupta was killed by bombs planted at his house. His house was still on fire and the fire brigade was still trying to stop the fire.
Sam: Anurag, get to know which ship is businessman Prasanna Bakshi at; we need to be there as soon as possible.
Anurag: Ok sir!

3:00 am

Prasanna apologized Shazy for whatever he said. He also proposed her at that very moment. Shazy asked for some time to think and went to her room.
But, minutes later the first explosion took place at the engine room of the ship. Water began to enter the ship. Everyone rushed to area where the life boats were kept. Suddenly the second explosion took place. Shazy got hit to a wall of her room and she fainted there. Prasanna helped people go to open place. The captain of the ship had given his order to evacuate the ship. People were taken out of the in life boats. Meanwhile Anurag and Sam arrived in an helicopter. They were assisted by Prasanna and other life guards at the ship. Soon, everyone was supposed to be on the life boats.
Prasanna: Shazy didn't come! Where is she?
Sam: Who is Shazy?
Prasanna: Only heroes don't have heroine's sir! I'll have to find her! I am going!
Sam: Anurag you go the life boat. I'll go with Prasanna.
Anurag: But sir that isn't safe. We'll have to take the life boats away as the whirlpool caused by this ship after drowning will make it very difficult for the life boats to stay on the surface.
Sam: No worry Anurag! We'll get on the helicopter.
Saurav was trying hard to draw something but it didn't get any idea till now. To refresh his mind, Saurav switched on the TV and on the TV they were continuously showing the footages of the drowning ship. Sam looked at it and suddenly his mind got clicked with an idea. To replace something as beautiful as The Drowning Ship painting, he must make a better version of it. Saurav had decided that he will make a Modern age Drowning Ship.
Prasanna somehow managed to go to Racy's room. He and Sam brought her to the open area. The life boats had gone away. Shazy was the first to be taken on the helicopter. Next went Prasanna. But when it was time for Sam, the ship had begun to drown in full speed. Sam had just one chance and he had to take it somehow. But, he missed it. Sam couldn't reach the ladder. Looking at this, Prasanna reversed his movement and came down as fast as he could. He somehow grabbed Sam's have and seconds later the ship drowned.
Prasanna pulled Sam up and they were taken in helicopter to the dock. Anurag followed them in an police speed boat.
On coming to the dock, Anurag and Sam were informed about a message found at Ravi Gupta's house. Ravi Gupta somehow managed to write Saurav on his wall before dieing. Officers were sent to arrest Saurav.
Sam felt that it was a wrong decision. But, he didn't have proof supporting Saurav. Then Sam received another call, this time it was a police officer who said that Raj is out of Coma and is ready to speak all about the Drowning ship.
Sam requested Anurag to send his officers to get Saurav after hearing what Raj has to say. Anurag agreed and said his officers to come back.

6:00 am

Sam: Say Raj, what do you know?
Raj: The killer of Rahul Gupta is Vishal!
Lately some sea explorers found out the location of The Drowning Ship. They also tried to get to the gold inside it but failed. Vishal knew that without knowing the actual location of the gold, it was useless to go in search of it. So we needed to know the location and have huge funding for it. For the funding part, we went to Mr. Bajaj but he rejected it. This was the time when Vishal came to me because he knew that I was the successor of the Bajaj Empire. He was the same person who took the gun inside with the help of that bartender Sajid.
Sam: That's why Sajid's list didn't have Vishal's name and that's the reason why he was killed.
Raj: The way you blamed me, I thought that you were also involved so I didn't speak initially. Rahul Gupta was offered the same deal by Vishal but he rejected leading it to his death. Vishal had planned to speak to Ravi after everything was over.
Sam: I guess Ravi also didn't agree to the plan unknown that there was a murderer sitting in front of him. Anurag! Arrest Vishal!
Police officers were sent to arrest Vishal and he was found at his house preparing to escape.
Sam: Vishal! So many lives, just for money!
Vishal: Because money is everything sir! And, you must arrest Saurav because you believe on the word of a person who had been in a long dream. He can say anything! Get me proof!
Anurag: We have proof! Luckily two of them! The websites you used to change your number to Saurav's, has revealed your identity! And we also arrested the person you paid to do all the bombing recently while trying to escape after writing SAURAV on Ravi Gupta's wall. You must have not tried that stunt!
Sanjay(Police Officer): Sir, we found The Drowning Ship model at Vishal's warehouse.
Sam: Here you go with the third clue. Is that enough Vishal!
Anurag: Sanjay, give it to me. I'll take it to Divesh.
Sam: Ok, I'll take Vishal to police station.
Things which seemed to be finally over weren't actually over. Anurag never reached Divesh's house. Soon Sam got call from Anurag.
Anurag: Sam! I was kidnapped on the 3rd of January after chasing Blue who was the kidnapper. He was disguised as me all this time and I guess he has robbed The Drowning Ship because he left me free just now.
Sam: What!?
Anurag was finally brought to the police station and his statement was written down. Special search teams were sent to find Blue. But, it was of no use. Blue had robbed The Drowning Ship on the day when the first star takes birth.
Later that day Saurav completed his Modern Age Drowning Ship and took it to Prasanna. Prasanna purchased it for a huge sum of money by which Saurav was now able to treat Samantha and remake his Art gallery.
Anurag was suspended from his job but later when Sam informed the police chief about the intensity and requirement of Anurag at the case, the chief cancelled Anurag's suspension.
Racy was discharged from hospital and she and Sam had dinner in a restaurant. While going back home, when they were standing on the gate of Racy's house.
Racy: Sam, why do I feel that it's you!
Sam: Who am I Racy?
Racy: My childhood love Guddu!
But before Sam could say a word, there was someone who spoke behind him.
Blue: Hello Detective! My name is Naufil Kazi, I need your assistance on a case. My parents are lost and I am unable to find them.
Racy and Sam's eyes opened up. Guddu was the pet name of her childhood love whose actual name was Naufil. Hence Sam's original name was Naufil. She turned around and spoke to Sam in low voice.
Racy: Sam! He is Guddu!
Sam: What!
Racy: Yes! Naufil was his original name! Please find his parents!
Sam: Ok Racy! I'll try my best.
Racy went inside her house and Sam started at Blue.
Blue: Detective Naufil!
Sam: My name is Sam,you better call me that. Why you are here Blue? To celebrate your win I guess.
Blue: You're such a great detective sir that I didn't have any options but to disguise as Anurag.
Sam: Whatever! Why are you here? You successfully robbed The Drowning Ship. What do you need next?
Blue: With having the drowning ship, I have completed only half the work. But, I am here to give you something!
Sam: What?
Blue threw a folded paper towards Sam. Sam opened it and was shocked to see the thing written on it. Seconds later Sam's face turned from shocked to happy. Sam began to smile and looked up. But, Blue had already gone.
