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