With all four on board, and realizing they lack experience or resources to pull such a robbery, they seek help from a local thug (Sunny), who happens to be obsessed with playing different soundtracks for every moment of life or live occurrences.

The first robbery though hilariously and clumsily done is completed successfully, but Victor secretly manages to steal and hide the bag of diamonds. Sunny, still unaware of the disappearance of the diamonds, reveals his unwillingness to help them with their own robbery and sends them off.
