The vault containing the diamonds is located in the Atlantis hotel's underground, connected through a sewer system to room 9C. Access to room 9C is restricted to competitors in the World Dance Championship being held on the same night as the diamond storage. Since none of the team members can dance, they must train to participate in order to reach the vault.

The vault features a biometric lock that can only be accessed by Vicky Grover, Charan's son. Charlie recruits Nandu, a lookalike of Vicky, who desperately needs money for his mother's surgery. Nandu poses as Vicky to bypass the biometric security, allowing the team to enter the vault.

After accessing the vault and obtaining the diamonds, Charlie makes a clever switch. He replaces the real Shalimar Diamonds with a replica inside a trophy.

The team discovers a crucial weakness in the vault's security system.
