Someone tips off the customs officials that the three flight attendants are smuggling gold; and even though the three of them can hide their stash, the detention that follows makes them feel humiliated and rethink their choice. The enraged customs official Mala (Trupti Khamkar) mentions that her tip is accurate which she received from an air hostess and cannot come to terms with the fact that she could not recover any gold. Mala had taken permission from Jai before apprehending the 3 women, and Jai knew that Divya was part of crew that will be detained. Eventually, Jai has to let the women leave, as Mala's team is not able to find any gold anywhere. Mala finds the chocolates in Geeta's luggage, but they turn out to be real chocolates. The 3 women are returned to active-duty rosters, but Divya and Jasmine have a falling out. The plane in which the 3 had hidden the gold (They knew from the pilot that the plane is being pulled back to the gate for a customs inspection and they hid the gold in an overhead AC vent) is exposed one day when turbulence causes damage to the fuselage and the gold falls out from out of the ceiling. Vijay Walia (Saswata Chatterjee) (Chairman of Kohinoor) and Mittal are absconding, as the news comes out. Jai realizes that Divya lied to him and breaks off all contact with her.Initially, they had thought that one of their colleagues on the flight would have tipped the customs officer however after an emotional outburst by one of their colleagues they realized that none of them tipped the customs. Geetu realizes that Mittal's wife Sudha (Charu Shankar) was also an air hostess (Customs officer Mala had referred that the tip came from an air hostess) and she was the only person who knew about the gold. They confront her and she reveals that Mittal is cheating on her and to exact revenge she tipped the customs so that their arrest would lead to the kingpin Mittal.However, she further reveals that the real kingpin is Walia who had stolen the airline's money (by not paying staff salaries), converted it into gold, and stashed it in Al Burj after smuggling it out of India. In the last 6 years, Walia has smuggled Rs 3000 Crores worth of gold out of India. From Sudha, they get the address of Mittal, and they tail him and eventually find Walia at a luxury hotel where his daughter is getting married.Geeta knows that Sapna is working in Al Burj after leaving Punnu. She connects Geeta to the temp staffing agency that provides staff to all hotels in Al Burj. Geeta manages to secure a job in the hotel as housekeeping staff and get information about the gold. Geeta finds that the Presidential suits are only accessible by guests. They then contact Manoj and bribe with a 7% cut if he helps them to steal the gold from Walia. After a lot of hard work, they gain access to Walia's suite, by stealing his key, and cutting CCTV cameras on his floor. But they find the gold already gone from the suite. They hatch a plan where they come to know that Walia and his family are taking the gold in a private jet to the Cayman Islands. Jasmine had taken an Ipad from the suite that showed that Wadhera was the pilot and the photos of the crew. Geeta and Jasmine manage to kidnap the original crew and install themselves as the air hostess of the jet, while Divya becomes the pilot after Geeta seduces and drugs Wadhera.They spike the drinks of the passengers with sleeping pills and land the plane at Divya's native village, which had an old, abandoned airstrip. The police and customs arrive after the 3 women leave with most of the gold. The customs find Walia with the remaining gold and is arrested. Jai helps women escape the customs.
