0:00:02 > 0:00:06This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Darlington In this historic market town,
0:00:09 > 0:00:12one man's on a mission to make crime a thing of the past...
0:00:12 > 0:00:15I'm better than Rambo. I'm Spartacus.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16..Fearless Francis Jones.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Rarrggh!!
0:00:18 > 0:00:21If you have a problem day or night...
0:00:21 > 0:00:24I'm like a doctor to the burglars. I give them the medicine.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26..if no-one else can help...
0:00:26 > 0:00:29There's no escape from Francis Jones.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31People always say I'm different, like.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33..and if you can find him...
0:00:33 > 0:00:36When I was a kid, I was in the Beavers for four months.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I underwent training.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40..maybe you can hire Sparta Security.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Spartan warriors was a tribe of people who had courage,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48who were strong.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51When you drive down the road, the kids always shout,
0:00:51 > 0:00:52"This is Sparta!"
0:00:54 > 0:00:58The vehicle is dressed up like a pseudo-police vehicle.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59What does "pseudo" mean?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02If you want a steak, you go and get a sirloin.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05If you want ice cream, you go to Tom and Jerry's.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09If you want security, you come and see Spartacus.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10SIREN BLARES
0:01:10 > 0:01:12THEN BEEPS FEEBLY
0:01:15 > 0:01:20There we go. Your fly's undone.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Sparta Security was set up in 2009 by former pro boxer
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Fearless Francis Jones.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32So, do I see myself as a businessman?
0:01:32 > 0:01:37I don't have a dicky bow tie. You know, I don't read the Daily Mail.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I don't like reading, if I'm honest with you.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44But if you want security, I just want to help you. That's the truth.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46You look smart, by the way.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49The company employ around 40 security guards,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52protecting commercial and residential properties.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55He's boxed off Darlo, basically, hasn't he?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58He's everywhere. We're safe. Sparta is looking after us all.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02This is the smallest fan Sparta's ever got, you know.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03How are you doing?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06He's happy to help the littlest of people
0:02:06 > 0:02:08and he's happy to help the biggest of people.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10He doesn't care what the job is
0:02:10 > 0:02:11as long as it's helping the community.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14When the property got robbed, on the same day that happened,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16you guys sent the boys round
0:02:16 > 0:02:18and since then you've watched it for a good three months.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20You were brilliant.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Do you see yourself as a policeman? No, no, no.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28Definitely not. I ain't no policeman. I'm Francis Jones.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32How're we doing, Adrian? Are you all right? Hello, mate. Aye, good.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I'm one of the boys, is what I am. I'm one of the lads.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Because people know me in Darlington.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I have a nice reputation. I help people.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Francis and his team
0:02:44 > 0:02:46go to extraordinary lengths to get the job done.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50?100,000 worth of equipment has just been stolen.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56So I am wanting to know what your thoughts are.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58There's a road adjacent to this whole site
0:02:58 > 0:03:01which is perfect access without anyone being able to see.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Ex-forces generally love working for us.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07You're applying the same knowledge for the same things, really.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09You just take the guns out of the equation
0:03:09 > 0:03:11and the threat of mega-violence.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14No other security company does what Sparta do.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16We haven't got a gun but, I'm telling you, it's exciting
0:03:16 > 0:03:18when it kicks off.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Hiya. Morning. Hello, Rach, all right?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Helping Francis run the show are his tireless office team.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30We have Claire Wood, who is the secretary.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Good afternoon, Sparta security. Claire speaking.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36She's got that pornographic professional telephone voice.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Have you got your shorts on, in the sun? Like in the chatrooms.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44What's that in there? Is it your resignation? Have you had enough?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Rachel Bruce, the overall manager.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Do not disrespect me like that in front of the staff.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53So you have just spoiled the atmosphere.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56You know, she's got that..."Rrrr!" She's got the fire.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I ain't bothered what you say.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04Last year I think I left five times and I got sacked three.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07They are both awesome but you don't argue
0:04:07 > 0:04:10because I know I'm a good manoeuvrer.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Very hard to manoeuvre against two piranha fish.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Today's task is finding Francis a sidekick to help grow the business.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Well, I want another one of me.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I need someone to bounce off and to work with
0:04:25 > 0:04:28and they've got to be talked to and say,
0:04:28 > 0:04:33"You're here, but I want more business off you within six weeks."
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Have you got somebody in mind?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I don't know, is what I'm saying.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Sparta offer mentoring to a variety of young people,
0:04:43 > 0:04:47including some who haven't always chosen the right path.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50The apprentices that we tend to take on are usually vulnerable.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52They've usually got a story to tell
0:04:52 > 0:04:55but Francis will always try to see the good in people, always.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58'Get kids who come to interviews...' Jordan.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I want to see a bit of courage, a bit of backbone.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Do you have a criminal record? Yeah. What was that for?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Armed robbery. How long ago? I was 14.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Was that with another guy? Mm. From Middlesbrough?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I just thought it might have been a partner in crime.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21So what makes you think security, then?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I would like to follow in your footsteps.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I want to be the best but, obviously, you're the best now so...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Cheers. Cheers.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34One of the CVs says, "I'm previous in the Army," so that's good.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37He was a private soldier. He doesn't know how to spell, though.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39A private "solder".
0:05:39 > 0:05:44How long was you in the Army for? Six months. Right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48In the end, they had to medically discharge me.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50This lad is called Luke.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53He's a professional person.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55He enjoys dogs.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57He hasn't got a lot of work history.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59The other CV is better than this one.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Last up is Luke "Pembo" Pemberton. Take a seat, Luke.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I like your sneakers, mate. Yeah.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09So how old are you, then, Luke?
0:06:09 > 0:06:1323. 23, yeah? Do have a criminal record? Yes, I do.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I have done 16 weeks inside. Pinching? For theft, yes.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22What made you think you wanted the position?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I don't just want a job, I want a career.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27And that's what... I need to make a choice. I'm 23 now.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I didn't realise what I've got in life until I actually went in jail,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33what I could lose in life.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34I've got plans and all.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I want to start making a family, change my life completely around.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40What I like about him...
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I see ingredients in him that I could work with
0:06:43 > 0:06:47and if he does really want to change his life around,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49then he has come to the right house.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52We have sales and marketing, right. Can you sell?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I can sell ice to the Eskimos.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I've got the gift of the gab.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Well, I want you doing that job.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I want to put 100% in you.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Well, thanks for the opportunity. There you go, buddy, yeah?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Thank you very much.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I've heard it all before, you know.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It'll be challenging to see where Pembo goes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16First to hear Pembo's good news will be his nana, Val...
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Francis says he wants me to be part of the business side,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21the sales side of it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23..who can hardly believe it.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Do they know that you've got a criminal record? I've told them.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Because this is the big stumbling block. Yes, I know.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Nana has got a heart of gold.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34They broke the mould when they made that one.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36We've never had a criminal in the family. You're unique.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39You're the only one.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I will change. Well, we'll see, won't we? I'm not holding my breath.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Because you've never took any notice before of what
0:07:45 > 0:07:48we've told you. I have. No, you haven't.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Everything we got you, you've sold.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Game machines, televisions, new trainers...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55PEMBO LAUGHS
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Rome wasn't built in one day, was it?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Well, it will be nice when I don't have to hide my purse,
0:08:00 > 0:08:02that's all I'm saying. I know.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06It's not nice to hear, but it's the truth, isn't it?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09That's my own family telling me that.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Fingers crossed.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Well, yes, fingers crossed, Nana.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I've let my full family down so this is my time to change
0:08:14 > 0:08:17and make my family proud.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I mean, anybody can turn their lives around if they really want to,
0:08:20 > 0:08:25but whether he will or not, I have no idea. So we will just see.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31As well as protecting premises,
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Sparta's job list includes some less conventional security markets.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40So, what makes us different from other companies?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41We have a bully watch.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46If you want kids to be walked home from school to deter...
0:08:46 > 0:08:47I don't know.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49We have snipers.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52A guy dressed in a ghillie suit hiding in the bushes
0:08:52 > 0:08:57looking for burglars using thermal imaging, night vision.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58We do loads of stuff.
0:08:58 > 0:09:05Whatever your query, we'll have something to stop it from happening.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Tuesday, 10am.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Francis is heading to the town centre
0:09:10 > 0:09:14to discuss a mysterious new assignment.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17'I had a phone call off a gentleman.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18'He sounded a bit distressed
0:09:18 > 0:09:21'and he's asked me to come down to meet him.'
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Hello, there. I'm Francis.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25'He does not want to be identified.'
0:09:26 > 0:09:30DISTORTED VOICE: I live on one of the rougher estates.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Kids tear around on mopeds, on quad bikes.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We daren't walk down the street on a night.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37This is on the actual streets?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's on the street. It's on the grassed areas.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42We've rung the police. We've spoke to the councillors
0:09:42 > 0:09:44but nothing seems to be getting done.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47We daren't go public because the windows get put through. Right.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I've heard you are the person that could sort this out.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Leave it with me.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55We can help provide a solution to this problem. Thank you.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59For Darlo's dangerous bikers, life is about to get tougher.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01You have come to the right door.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04He doesn't want no-one to die, whether it's his kids,
0:10:04 > 0:10:05or somebody else's.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I want to do this quickly,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10not talk the talk but walk the walk.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Feeling nervous now,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20but as soon as I get in the office I'll fly into it, won't I?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Former thief and burglar Pembo
0:10:22 > 0:10:24is preparing for his first day at Sparta.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28I got a suit there, like I only really wear at funerals.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32And weddings. Or court, yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40With Pembo, we are taking a huge risk.
0:10:40 > 0:10:46He reminds me of a young Del Boy. And I like Del Boy.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47I mean, he's funny.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50He drives a three-wheel car, which is better than Pembo,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52because Pembo doesn't have a car.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Keen to impress, Pembo arrives half an hour early.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Francis?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06He's even got there before the boss.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09First impression's always the best.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11You can tell a man by his shoes.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Where did you get those shoes? Clarks.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Hey, hey, hey!
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Here he is. You look very smart. Thank you. So...
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Pembo's first test is to prove he can sell...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27You're going to go knocking on businesses...
0:11:27 > 0:11:30..by giving away free stickers to local businesses.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32His mission, he's on the minimum wage,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36if he gets a sticker in a window, I will give him 50p a sticker.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I haven't told Rachel. I haven't told her, like.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41I've had 5,000 printed,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44and if I'm honest, it could bankrupt the company.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Before letting Pembo loose on Darlo,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Francis wants to hear his sales pitch.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53What do you want? What do you want?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Er...
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Hello, mate, how are you doing?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02My name is Newton, I'm working with a firm called Sparta Security.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06We offer a range of prices for services that you can go for.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12So, you are after getting your sticker in my door. It's free.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Yeah. I'm giving you it. Would you take free money? It's free.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Everyone should take the service. Yeah.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23If they don't take the service, it's the sales pitch what is wrong.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30We'll come up, we'll have a look at the site and have a chat with
0:12:30 > 0:12:34you in your cabin and tell you what services we have on offer.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Rachel and Claire are also on the hunt for new business.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40It doesn't matter if it's not a big one.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Hank has a cosy little cabin and he's worried we won't all fit in.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47I said we'll all squeeze in. Squish. We'll squeeze in.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50They're targeting a key market - industrial estates
0:12:50 > 0:12:52and building sites.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55You'll definitely know who we are, don't you worry about that.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57We'll be there Friday in our red high heels.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I've got two tidy blonde females rather than a big hairy-arsed man
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and they're bringing in business left right and centre.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I'm a security guard, yeah, I've had a badge about two years.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I can hold my own.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Just in case their powers of persuasion aren't enough,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Francis has left nothing to chance.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20I've just invested ?3,000 in getting Rachel a pair of silicone breasts
0:13:20 > 0:13:22so Rachel can go to clients,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26meet new businessmen and sign contracts away.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Did you want a boob job already? Yeah.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31But I didn't have the money so, girls,
0:13:31 > 0:13:35who's going to turn down a free boob job?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I'm going to try and give them a free sticker
0:13:40 > 0:13:44and say it's security for them, everyone wants a bargain
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and this is for free. So hopefully...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Let's go and see how I get on.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Pembo's first target is the local corner shop...
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I work for a company called Sparta Security,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I'm giving out free stickers. We have different services.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Right, no problem, thank you. ..who aren't interested.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Am offering a free service today... No?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Not interested? Right, have a good day.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Francis would love them. Ohhh!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Pembo's sticker tally is stuck on zero.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Two knocks, that's all you're giving it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19He chances his arm at the Savage Sandwich Shop.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Just here today to offer you a free service.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25All you have to do is put the sticker in your window.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Yeah. Thank you.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Finally, 50p in Pembo's pocket.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32First one. Job well done.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Try and get the hang of it, get into the swing of things. So, laughing.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40What skills do you need to sell in security?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Generally, very little clothes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Sex definitely sells.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Rachel and Claire are trying out their sales strategy
0:14:48 > 0:14:49at a local building site.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Are you ready then? Come on, into the cabin with us.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57We've got our PPE on. GIGGLING
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Do you know what it is? Personal pulling equipment.
0:15:01 > 0:15:0524 hours a day, seven days a week, the phone is always on,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07even if you just want a chat. Lonely hearts, eh?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10THEY LAUGH
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Next in line for the girls' charm offensive...
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Hi.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16..a steel fabrication factory.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I've got nowhere to stick my badge.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23These are sexy.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26You look good.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I'll be pinching these, Johnny, they'll be going in me bag.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31How many cameras would you be thinking of, then?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Where do you think you'd need them?
0:15:33 > 0:15:38I think probably two in here and two in the two large sheds. Yes.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Nice to speak to you again, Johnny. All right.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Finding you as sexy as before...
0:15:46 > 0:15:49It's like the one the other day where we went on that site
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and he just looked at the pair of us.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56I said to her, he's going to go back in that cabin and crack one off.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Guaranteed. Guaranteed.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Excuse me, sir. Free sticker for your van? Yeah, no problems.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Meanwhile Pembo has cracked off a few more sales...
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Could you put this in the window? Yes.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13..and upped his salary by ?2.50.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It's been good. It's a start.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20This is getting the basics of it, so...laughing.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25But being able to sell is just the first stage of his training.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Pembo is a good lad but he's like a wild dog,
0:16:30 > 0:16:35like the ones in Australia, dingoes. Pembo is a dingo.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41I've got to train this animal how to behave proper, right?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Not behave proper, just not to bite.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49To prove he's got what it takes for Sparta, Pembo's next test will be
0:16:49 > 0:16:52to join Francis on a night-time burglar hunt.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01It says on the card, "Directed by God, managed by Jesus."
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Do people think I'm silly? I would have thought so.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06As well as helping the Darlo public,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Francis also strives to serve a greater good.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11God is the best thing in my life, he's awesome.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15I still have temptations, I still have these two eyes for women.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I can't help but stare at lasses' arses
0:17:17 > 0:17:20when I am driving along the road. She's absolutely beautiful.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Hello, there. She's not interested.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25She is beautiful as well. Hello, sweetheart.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Today, Francis has a date with the local MP
0:17:29 > 0:17:33to discuss his anonymous client's problem with nuisance motorbikes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37I am going to see Jenny Chapman, the MP of Darlington,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40were going to have a chat and I'm putting on lavender oil.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45They come up to me and say, "Have you got lavender oil on?"
0:17:45 > 0:17:47That is what they say to ya.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50That's when I give them my charms.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54# Jenny, Jenny... #
0:17:54 > 0:17:55It's an opportunity for Francis
0:17:55 > 0:17:59to make a good impression on an important public figure.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03I have put lavender on especially for you. Nice.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Do you like it or not? Do you like it really?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I do, I like lavender, it reminds me of my nana. Does it?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10HE LAUGHS
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Sit down.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14We're having problems with motorbikes tearing the land up,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16kids as well, walking the dogs.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I need an answer to that cos I've got Red Hall...
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I've got you an answer.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23We're going in on patrol undercover,
0:18:23 > 0:18:28we're going to take pictures of the people on these vehicles. Yeah.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I'll know the kids no doubt as well.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I'm going to go to the house and I'm going to say, "This stops."
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Right?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Have you spoken to the police? Do they know what you're doing?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39They don't know what I'm doing, no.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Give me a month from the first day we go in there
0:18:41 > 0:18:43and I reckon it will have stopped.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Let them know what you are doing.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48With the general election coming up,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Francis has been lucky to get a meeting.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54So can you vote here now before we go? No. Can I not?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56No. What do I need to do? Are you on the register?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Electoral register? HE SIGHS
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I don't know, Jenny. I don't have a clue.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05People will just vote for you cos you're a good-looking lass.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08That's why I am voting for you. I haven't a clue what you do.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10SHE LAUGHS
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Do you have Facebook? I will tick like on your thing.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Just the same as voting!
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Would you encourage him to get more involved
0:19:15 > 0:19:17in the politics of Darlington?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I'm not sure politics is the right place for Francis.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21He is very much an individual.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I think he'd find politics really frustrating,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27which is a shame, isn't it? It says a lot about politics.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I think the community is better off for having
0:19:30 > 0:19:34someone like Francis around. Thank you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I promised Jenny Chapman I'm going to stop the quad bikes
0:19:38 > 0:19:40and motorbikes chasing.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44I will be looking to get this sorted as soon as possible
0:19:44 > 0:19:47and show Mrs Chapman how Sparta works.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51# Jenny, Jenny... #
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's like a magic wand.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Having gone down so well on the building site,
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Rachel is continuing her marketing drive in the town centre.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10We're doing the Darlington market.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13It's an opportunity for people to come down and talk with us
0:20:13 > 0:20:15face-to-face.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Alongside the pastries and pasties,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Rachel hopes her flyers will be to the taste of the Darlo public.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29"For I know the plans I have for you." My God, this is frightening.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32What would Francis of Assisi have to say about this?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35If you hang about for five minutes, you will meet Francis Jones.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Is he the organiser? Yeah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46You've just missed him. Never! Yeah.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48What? Young enough to give a slap to or not?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Can you see a man playing his guitar down there? Yes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Hello, how are you doing? Are you the big cheese? I'm the big cheese.
0:20:57 > 0:21:03What you are doing is akin to a form of Christian paramilitary
0:21:03 > 0:21:07organisation, albeit without weapons... In what sense?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09The only Christians that go around
0:21:09 > 0:21:12in vans like that are the Salvation Army, for goodness sake...
0:21:12 > 0:21:18This is a pseudo-style police vehicle. What does "pseudo" mean?
0:21:18 > 0:21:23Right, right. That is not a proper police vehicle, but you've adopted
0:21:23 > 0:21:26the kind of scheme to look like
0:21:26 > 0:21:29a kind of police, security... High-vis vehicle, yeah.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33The vehicle stands out - we're a security company.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37I am accusing you of being a prototype Christian paramilitary.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I don't know what that means. You're not a policeman.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43This is about promoting Christianity to protect
0:21:43 > 0:21:47people on the streets against what? Villainous burglars?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50If you could have guns you probably would.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I don't want to get no animosity, you can go your way,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I'll go my way and I wish you well not badness.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00You can put hatred upon me but you won't get hatred back. Good.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Unless you try and rip the signs down, I'm only joking.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Thank you very much, sir.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Cheers, all the best with your guitar, right?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12He said the car looks like a high-vis police car, which is
0:22:12 > 0:22:14meant to look high-vis, we do security,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16not Mothercare, looking after children.
0:22:21 > 0:22:27When I say I go to church, I'm not like a proper nutcase,
0:22:27 > 0:22:28a proper religious nut.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32You know... Well, I used to be a nut,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36but, you know, you could say I'm a bit of a religious nut.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Obviously as a Christian,
0:22:38 > 0:22:42you have to be different, you have to let your light shine before men,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45do things that the majority of people don't do.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52As a Christian, Francis likes to mentor former offenders,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54which can also be helpful for some of his missions.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58When I used to go out thieving myself, it does get your heart
0:22:58 > 0:23:01racing, your adrenaline starts pumping, your hands start sweating.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02You need a wee.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04This shoe is on the other foot now,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08so it's a good feeling being on the other side, obviously.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Francis does anti-burglar patrols for a variety of local businesses.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16We're going to go to a site tonight
0:23:16 > 0:23:18where, you know, it gets broken into.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21We're just going to sit there and wait.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Just follow my lead. I'll whisper as well, always whisper.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29WHISPERS: I've got to watch your back
0:23:29 > 0:23:31and you've got to watch mine. Right?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Did you year that noise? That could be a burglary.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39I don't want to get you shot. Keep your voice down.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Think like they think. Yeah.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Not many security firms would do this, a stakeout. Stakeout baby.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Do you want to order a pizza?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01HE GIGGLES
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I'm an adrenaline junkie.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06I get a buzz off this, this gives me a hard-on.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Just waiting for them to come.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10We'll catch them, look at all the bait.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13That's all the bait there. That's right.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Like a piece of cheese in a mousetrap.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20When they come in, they will be running for their lives
0:24:20 > 0:24:25when they see Spartacus and Loonicus on patrol.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28It's a game of cat and mouse.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30HE MEOWS AND SNIGGERS
0:24:33 > 0:24:36There's no sign of any mice to catch.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41So Francis sets Pembo a challenge.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45WHISPERS: There's a dog where them lights are.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50We always used to say if we can go across this land to there
0:24:50 > 0:24:52without the dog barking,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56then you've got the skills to join the force.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01You have to touch the metal fence.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I hope the dog barks!
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I don't think he'll do it.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Bastard. He's done it. I bet the dog is dead.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22DOG BARKS
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Fucking dog.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Ha! That was him, that wasn't me. DOG BARKS
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Sack the bastard.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31BARKING CONTINUES
0:25:31 > 0:25:34It'll take me a few times to get back into it,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37whispering, cos I'm quite loud.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38You are a heavy-footed.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42I would suggest putting socks on over your shoes.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Just little tips that I've learned.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Despite the heavy feet, Pembo's passed the test.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Me life is evolving now because obviously the opportunity
0:25:51 > 0:25:55I'm being given, it's just going to get better and better and better.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56The sky's the limit now.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Wednesday, teatime.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07There's been a breakthrough in the case of Darlo's dangerous bikers.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10We're just going to go to Red Hall,
0:26:10 > 0:26:15because the people on the estate are sick of the bikes going down there.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Francis has been hired by a local resident to stamp out
0:26:18 > 0:26:21the problem, he's on his way to one of the areas Jenny mentioned.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I told the MP I'd stop it.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25If I can help, it's another tick in the box for what I do
0:26:25 > 0:26:27and it gives me a buzz, to be honest,
0:26:27 > 0:26:29cos I'll have solved the problem.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33BIKES REV
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Quad bikes over there.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I just heard a bike so, you know,
0:26:39 > 0:26:44we'll see what the situation is and see if he comes on our territory.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48He'll probably yell when he sees me but that's not a problem
0:26:48 > 0:26:52cos I will find off the estate who he is and where he lives.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I will go and give him the knock, innit?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01BIKE REVS
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Too slow.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I was too slow, I hesitated when I seen him.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Here's one 'ere.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Francis is on the verge of catching the culprits red-handed.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29How's it going, boys?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37You don't know who they are, do you? No?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40He knew me, like, didn't he?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I told you everyone knows me in Darlington.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46He said, "How are you doing, Francis?" He drove off.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50But, you know, I can put a stop to it. Just need the evidence first.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Next time...
0:27:54 > 0:27:56There's a bike over there!
0:27:56 > 0:27:58..Francis tracks down the nuisance bikers...
0:27:58 > 0:27:59All right, boys.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03We'll go in these bushes here. Shh!
0:28:03 > 0:28:05..it's a date night in Darlo...
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Do you spit or swallow? Shut up.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11..and Pembo's under pressure... You have a team of how many?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13..to prove he can sell.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15There's... Erm...
0:28:46 > 0:28:49# There's nothing you can do that can't be done
0:28:49 > 0:28:53# Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
0:28:53 > 0:28:55# It's easy
