0:00:04 > 0:00:05- SOFTLY:- I can hear them.
0:00:05 > 0:00:11This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13You have to be extra quiet.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And I'm boiling, if I'm honest with you.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18It's that building...
0:00:19 > 0:00:20There's someone up there.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24ALARM RINGS
0:00:24 > 0:00:26I've set the alarm off.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28'Warning. You have activated... '
0:00:28 > 0:00:30ALARM RINGS
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Darlington, North East England.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37In this historic market town,
0:00:37 > 0:00:41one man's on a mission to make crime a thing of the past.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45I'm better than Rambo. I'm Spartacus.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Fearless Francis Jones.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48HE ROARS
0:00:48 > 0:00:51If you have a problem, day or night...
0:00:51 > 0:00:54I'm like a doctor to the burglars. I give them their medicine.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56If no-one else can help...
0:00:56 > 0:00:59There's no escape from Francis Jones.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01People always say I'm different, like.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And if you can find him...
0:01:03 > 0:01:04When I was a kid,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08I was in the Beavers for four months and we underwent training.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Maybe you can hire Sparta Security.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Spartan warriors were the tribe of people who had courage,
0:01:16 > 0:01:17who were strong.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19When you drive down the road
0:01:19 > 0:01:22the kids always shout, "This is Sparta!"
0:01:22 > 0:01:27The vehicle is dressed up like a pseudo police vehicle.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28What does pseudo mean?
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Right.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32If you want a steak, you go and get a sirloin.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34If you want ice cream, you get Tom & Jerry's.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37If you want security, you come and see Spartacus.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41SIREN WAILS
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Francis Jones has set off a burglar alarm whilst checking out
0:01:46 > 0:01:49suspicious activity at a Sparta protected property.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I got a phone call, 4.00 in the morning.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I was dreaming about making love to a beautiful lady.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59When duty calls, you've got to come down, you've got to do the job.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- What happened to your head? - My head?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03My head... Er, I think I was up the...
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Oh, it's bleeding. Erm...
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I must have smashed it off something up there.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12The police arrive to investigate.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13There's someone there.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I couldn't see him.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Right.- Oh, right. You're awesome, mate, all right.- OK.- Top man.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22It appears the building is secure.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I heard a noise up there.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Francis wants to take another look.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I want to catch him.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Francis.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36The churchwarden's also arrived on the scene.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39How you doing? Are you OK?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42There was someone up here. I'm telling you there was.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I don't know where they've gone. I'm going to jump.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Oh, good lad, that's it, roll. That's the way to do it.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Looks better, don't it, on TV, a roll.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51THEY LAUGH
0:02:51 > 0:02:56Your WhatsApp profile - fantastic. "Jesus is my role model."
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Yeah, he is, like.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You can't get any other better role model, can you?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I have Jesus on everything.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Lovely to see you. - God bless you, soldier.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Sparta's core business is contract security for a variety
0:03:10 > 0:03:12of business premises across the north-east.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I want to be everywhere.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16So I take on everything and anything.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I don't turn work down.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Under his Street Safe initiative,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Francis also protects residential properties.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Prices start at £3.50 a week.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31If it helps you, who calls Sparta for reassurance, for a
0:03:31 > 0:03:35solution to the problem then...then I'll give you that solution.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I've had a call from a lady.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45She seems very shook up, she's had a daytime burglary.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Francis is en route to a family home that was recently
0:03:48 > 0:03:50targeted by burglars.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56She's a single mam. Her daughter went out the house. By herself.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00She heard a noise in the kitchen, someone had smashed the window.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04So I think they got disturbed and...she's scared.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I mean, wouldn't you be?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Hello, love, how you doing? Is your mam in there?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11- Hello. You all right? - How you doing?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Fine, yeah.- Whose sweet 16?
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Me.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Is it happy birthday, eh? Birthday girl?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Francis, this is the window that they actually broke here.- Yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24All the glass was all over here, it was all over the floor.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27The police investigated the break-in.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Victoria's hoping Francis can offer extra security.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35I'm going to put some exterior cameras outside, right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I'm going to put some signs on the outside of that wall.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Yeah, that would be good, won't it, Katie?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Wow, you've got a lot of broccoli, haven't you?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- LAUGHING:- I know.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45That's good, that's good. Good, good.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47That's the key, broccoli, it's awesome.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Broccoli, yeah.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Francis decides to enlist some helpers from the family.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Where do the cameras need to be?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57On the top there? Whereabouts?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Maybes...one here.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Yeah.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- About there?- Yeah.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Fantastic.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I need a sticker in that top window there,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10in the outside of that window. Put it in the middle, on the bottom.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12There, that's it, fantastic.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14How am I going to get down?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16LAUGHTER
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Whitley, film it!
0:05:17 > 0:05:20HE LAUGHS
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Right, this side. Up, up, up.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25LAUGHTER
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Come down.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Good girl. - LAUGHTER CONTINUES
0:05:30 > 0:05:31That's it for the day.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Thank you for the team, they've been awesome. You have, like.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Happy birthday, princess. - Thank you.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Bye-bye.- ALL:- Bye.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Next call for Francis - mysterious vandalism at a local fishing pond.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50I'm meeting an old friend and he's got a problem with his gate.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Not sure what to make of the story so I'm going to go and see him now.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Looks like Mick Dundee.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Hello, young man. - Hello, Dave, are you OK, mate?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05How are you, Francis, all right?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Pond warden Dave Ovens is on hand to explain the story so far.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Now the problem we've got,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14this gate is kept here to stop the fly-tippers.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19The fishing pond has been repeatedly used as a dumping ground.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21We had 20 skips came out of here, rubbish,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- where people have fly-tipped. - Yeah. All right.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Dave installed extra security to keep out the litter-bugs
0:06:27 > 0:06:29but now he's got another problem.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33The gate worked perfect but over the last ten days, somebody's...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36supergluing the key, ramming it into the lock and snapping it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Yeah.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Unfortunately, it's £90 per lock.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Wow, £90 per lock. £90 for one of them?- Yup.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Dave thinks either fly-tippers or local vandals are behind the
0:06:48 > 0:06:51damage, which is stretching his finances to breaking point.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55It's cost us, so far, in ten days, £360.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Wow.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59That we haven't got. I need it knocking on the head.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I need to be in that bush, like Rambo in the bushes,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04waiting for them and obviously if they come, bosh.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Operation Lock Vandal is underway.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09MOTORBIKE APPROACHES
0:07:09 > 0:07:10There's a...there's a bike here.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Well, turn the light off, turn the light off.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15And an old case may have just resurfaced.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Reverse it into the corner.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21It'll come through the bottom of the bridge.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Francis has been pursuing nuisance bikers in this area for weeks.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27MOTORBIKE ENGINE
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Come down here, Frank.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31You can hear the two-stroke.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33We'll have to catch 'em.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38They...they know Sparta is on patrol here and it's a
0:07:38 > 0:07:41covert operation, normally me in the bush with a load of make-up on.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46He's determined to catch the culprits
0:07:46 > 0:07:49who have come close to causing a serious injury.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Kids come down here and they nearly ran one over last month.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Nearly killed a little three-year-old toddler,
0:07:55 > 0:07:59do you know, so... gloves come off now, baby.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I can't hear them now. Come on.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07The bike seems to have gone.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Right, let's get set up then.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Francis gets back to setting his trap for the lock vandal.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21He dons a trademark disguise to blend in to the surroundings.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Fantastic bit of kit. You look like Sasquatch.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- HE LAUGHS - Big Foot.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- I might just go... - HE ROARS
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Do you know what I'm saying? Just to serve him right.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Do you know? Going... - LOUD GASPS
0:08:33 > 0:08:34HE LAUGHS
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I'm just joking you, mate. I was just joking you.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39We'll soon see who the clever guy is.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41When the cat's away, the mice'll play,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43but they're in for a bit of shock, isn't he?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47When I sit on that chair there, right,
0:08:47 > 0:08:48I want to wait for...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52..the padlock man to come.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- See you later, Dave. - Cheers, mate.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Dave can't afford to pay Francis,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59but can provide a deputy Spartan.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Francis, I forgot, before I go,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04in case you get lonely.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Oh, is that yours, Dave? What is it?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09What's he called?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Big Ted.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Big Ted? Right, cheers, Dave.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Dave's off home.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Francis and his new sidekick get bedded in.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23- WHISPERING:- I love adrenaline.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I want to wait until he does the job first.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26I want to catch him.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33OWL HOOTS
0:09:33 > 0:09:36This time there's no sign of the lock vandal,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39but Francis isn't giving up.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43We need more time to patrol and time to get sorted
0:09:43 > 0:09:46so we're going to be there in the cammie, in the grass,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48with all our face paint on. Boom.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57As a Christian company, Sparta offer mentoring to troubled youngsters.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Do I like to give people second chances?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I serve a God who's into second chances, third chances,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05fourth chances, fifth chances.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08"Whatever you've done," says Jesus, "come to me."
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Francis recently hired Luke 'Pembo' Pemberton -
0:10:14 > 0:10:18a former thief and burglar - as apprentice marketing assistant.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21It's my job now not to let him down,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24as he says, not to let the big man down.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26He's not licensed for security work
0:10:26 > 0:10:30but can help Francis revamp the office signage.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I'm trying to get brownie points in my bank
0:10:32 > 0:10:35up in heaven for the big man.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37So on the door it's going to say -
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Any man that knocketh, I will open the door.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- THUMPS CHEST - He's talking about the door to my heart.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I will hear him, I will open the door.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47What do you think, Pembo?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49We need things to attract the customers in.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51We need 'em, even if they're popping in for a chat,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- just to see what...what we're doing inside.- Yeah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55We want people to start walking in,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57people are just driving past not noticing it.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59We want it to stand out. We're going to smash it.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02We're going to smash it, smash it like a pasty.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03- Smash it.- Yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Indeed.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Pembo's learning the trade, you see.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09There's potential there, isn't there?
0:11:09 > 0:11:10The guy can talk for England.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Which is awesome for his job, you know,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15he's got a good character, he's game.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Francis hopes the face-lift will boost his client base.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23We was getting no business in the area that we've just come from.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I was on an industrial estate and people couldn't see where I were.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I asked God for a company to go all over the universe.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Listen, if there was contracts going for Mars then Sparta,
0:11:34 > 0:11:35I'd put in for it, you know.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Back on earth,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Francis plans to utilise his finest asset to attract business.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Well, it's up, we're getting there.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's that look like a business?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'm not sure, I'm not sure. And you get kids who don't like me,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52they might be throwing something at the door.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Everyone's looking.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55And there could be crashes,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57especially girls that could start gawping and, boom,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59they've crashed their car, know what I mean?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09The name on the account is Francis Jones.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Inside, helping Francis with administration, amongst other things,
0:12:15 > 0:12:19is his trusty office team - Rachel and Claire.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22All Francis' shopping and everything in here, it's a
0:12:22 > 0:12:24good job I do weight training.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I shop for him at my house,
0:12:26 > 0:12:30so he has a lot of food at my house when he comes for his meals.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I also get him bags of shopping to have
0:12:33 > 0:12:36in his flat for when he gets a bit peckish at supper time
0:12:36 > 0:12:40or whenever I'm not available to be at his beck and call.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Rachel thinks the extent of her workload
0:12:43 > 0:12:45deserves government funding.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47I think I'm his carer.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'm going to actually apply for Carer's Allowance
0:12:50 > 0:12:51at the social services.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I believe you can get about £300 a week for being someone's carer.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56You are, you are definitely his carer.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I think he can manage his shoelaces, but only just.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01He can't manage picking up his pants and socks so
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I think his shoelaces might just be pushing it.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05RACHEL LAUGHS
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Today, Francis is showing his gratitude by sending
0:13:09 > 0:13:11the girls on an awayday.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13All these doors are dodgy, aren't they?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15CLAIRE LAUGHS
0:13:15 > 0:13:19To tout for business at a social event for local companies.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I'm not a fan of networking meetings but we'll give it a go.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24What is your strategy for this meeting?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26This blouse.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I may have to pop another button yet.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Generally, these networking meetings,
0:13:37 > 0:13:42the fellas, you just have to wink at them and they're on, aren't they.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44You can sell anything on to a man.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49If they think that they can get sex out of a meeting,
0:13:49 > 0:13:50then they'll sign up.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52To support his cheaper services,
0:13:52 > 0:13:57Francis needs new corporate clients with spending potential.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01The Chamber of Commerce have assured us that there'll be businesses
0:14:01 > 0:14:05there of a calibre that will require...
0:14:05 > 0:14:07could require security.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13First chance to mingle is a guided tour of the factory.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18But this part of the event has a strict dress code.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22We're not allowed to do the tour as we've got inappropriate shoes on.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27We've never worn flat shoes in our lives, we're not going to start now.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29To get face time with potential clients
0:14:29 > 0:14:32they will have to wait till the tour is over.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38Apparently, inappropriate footwear is not allowed
0:14:38 > 0:14:40and our footwear is deemed as inappropriate.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43And they did offer very kindly to lend us some safety boots.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46However, it would be like wearing somebody else's knickers.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49So we're not going to be wearing somebody else's shoes.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50SHE LAUGHS
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I don't think they'd go with the attire.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56While Rachel and Claire wait on the naughty step,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Pembo is on the street.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Do you want to have a quick word?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Taking the direct approach to finding new business.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08I want Sparta to grow, right. Pembo is going to sell.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10All right, lads, do yous fancy a chat?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'm going to get him strutting his stuff. He's going to smash it.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I could do with going to stand somewhere better like, but.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I have faith in him, right. I have faith in him.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21How you doing, mate? Are you all right?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32At the networking day, the delegates are back from the talk
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and conversation is flowing.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36We've been kept entirely separate
0:15:36 > 0:15:38from the bonding that they've already done.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41But Rachel and Claire are still feeling left out.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45They've all got mates and everything and we've got no mates.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It's like Rach-and-Clairy-no-mates.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48SHE LAUGHS
0:15:48 > 0:15:50We're the outcasts.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Even Rachel's secret weapon appears redundant.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I can't see anybody worth undoing another button for.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01No talent, like.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Too old for me. I like toy boys.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06I'll have a look this direction.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11No, no talent.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Next up to lift their spirits,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16a talk on the progress of regional commerce.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Good afternoon, everybody. I don't know how many of you are aware,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22the North East is the fastest growing region
0:16:22 > 0:16:26in the fastest growing country in the developed world.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I'm going to say it again cos it's just worth saying.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30We are the fastest growing region
0:16:30 > 0:16:34in the fastest growing country in the developed world. Thank you.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36APPLAUSE
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Francis had high hopes that his sales team would land new business.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52But thanks to high heels, they head home empty-handed.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57It was a bit of a waste of our time, to tell the truth.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- We expected an opportunity to do networking.- Boring.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Yeah, it was really boring.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Going to fucking sleep.
0:17:13 > 0:17:145.00 AM.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Day two of the quest to catch the elusive lock vandal.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21We'll catch him, we'll catch him.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Keep your voice down.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Francis has promised Dave he won't rest till he solves the mystery.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'll set up camp near the trees behind...
0:17:33 > 0:17:34..the gate.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And we'll just wait.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- SOFTLY:- I need to see if there's anyone on this pond fishing
0:17:43 > 0:17:46because it could be a fisherman and he could finish at 6.00,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48go home, do the lock.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50But there's no-one here.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I want to check the lock.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00It hasn't been done.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06In full tree camouflage, Francis and Ted lie in wait.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14After just three hours' sleep, Francis' eyes are getting heavy.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18He turns to his assistant for help.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23- SOFTLY:- All you need to do, Ted, look me dead fast and say,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26"There's someone there, there's someone there."
0:18:26 > 0:18:27All right?
0:18:29 > 0:18:30He said, "Yeah."
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Right, keep your eyes open, Ted.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35There we go.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40Now, Ted, I'm going to have five minutes' sleep.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44But if they come, will you let me know, Ted?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Yeah, I know. I know, listen, I know it's unprofessional,
0:18:48 > 0:18:52but I'm dying, Ted. I'm dying. I want to have a sleep.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Don't give me a hard time, all right?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59While Francis takes 40 winks, Ted keeps watch.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08But again, the vandal doesn't show.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09I'm disappointed.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I am disappointed.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13But that's life, innit?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17The stakeout team withdraw to recuperate.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23See you in the morning, Ted.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Ted's going to bed now.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32But there is no rest for a Spartan.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Francis has a tip-off about nuisance bikers on a local estate.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42I'm going to try to locate whereabouts these guys live.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45They'll be on this estate somewhere.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47They'll be on this estate somewhere.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Francis spots potential suspects by a van.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- All right. - I've been over the roads, lads.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Looking for any lads on motorbikes this side or the other.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Don't know, do you? No?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- No.- Not me. Not me.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I'm not trying to finger you, you know.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Just to say, do you know?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09No, there's no point in us driving around the streets anyway, mate.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11We take them up the track, do know what I mean?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13We've got the van here, go and play the track.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Know what I mean?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17All right, fellas, take care of yourselves.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19See you later, boys. All right.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Francis isn't convinced by their alibi.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I think it was them. I think it was them.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Know what I'm saying? There were ridden with guilt, weren't they?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31They were ridden with guilt, do you know what I'm saying?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34But with no evidence, he has to bide his time.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38The mission is ongoing, the mission hasn't finished, you know,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42up until...we catch the culprits.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Last call of the day and better news for Francis.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Hello, sweetheart.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Hello, darling. How was your birthday?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Did you get drunk?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02- LAUGHING:- Yeah.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- THEY LAUGH - She's not old enough.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Since installing cameras at Victoria's house,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10there's been no more break-ins.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14It's making us, as a family, feel a lot more secure in our home.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I think it does a great job.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20But she's got another favour to ask.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I'm taking the kids away on a family holiday.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24OK, that's how long away?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Six weeks' time.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I do know somebody else that's just recently broken into
0:21:28 > 0:21:32and I'm a bit worried that I'm going to get broken into again.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Let the neighbours know we'll come around.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Cos sometimes we come round in an unmarked car, you know,
0:21:37 > 0:21:38- patrolling about.- Yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40OK, girls, nice to see you anyway.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Yeah, nice to see you again. Thank you.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- And I'll see you later on. - Yeah.- Bye-bye.- Bye.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50The main reason I started Sparta Street Safe is
0:21:50 > 0:21:52because fruits come from this body.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56I want to help people, I want to put a smile on your heart.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01I want to make God happy on the day that I come to see him.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Very much felt very vulnerable being by myself with the children,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09but now knowing that there is someone there that
0:22:09 > 0:22:13I can ring, it's changed all of our lives for the better.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Francis waived the fee for Victoria
0:22:18 > 0:22:21and plans to keep an eye on the house through Sparta's patrols.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Francis is having one more crack at catching the mystery lock vandal
0:22:31 > 0:22:34who's caused hundreds of pounds' worth of damage.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Can you hold these two seconds for me?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Once it gets light, I'll set the camera ready.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42This time, he's got extra back up.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Dave Ovens has joined in to form a two-man surveillance team.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48We're in the fighting zone, do you know,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50when you come down, boom!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Just imagine I was in a jungle, you know.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I wouldn't go, like, talking as well,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57too loud, do you know what I'm saying?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Francis will monitor the car park
0:22:58 > 0:23:02to observe approaching suspects and alert his partner.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I'll wander over and take this camera.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Dave is by the gate with bespoke surveillance kit
0:23:08 > 0:23:10to gather key evidence.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Francis is at the top, so's the radio, I'll switch the camera on.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Desperate to catch 'em, really.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18If I didn't want to catch them
0:23:18 > 0:23:22I wouldn't be here...on my only day off, at 4.30 in the morning.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I've checked the lock hasn't been tampered with.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26The lock looks perfect.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30The team are position and the stakeout is on.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Hi, mate, can you hear me?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37The camera's focused right on that lock.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Dave, talk to me, mate. Are you there?
0:23:41 > 0:23:46But between gate and car park, communication is scrambled.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49The camouflage is breaking the lines up on your face.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Your face is white and it's obviously a dark place.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Right, what's that like?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Dave Ovens, can you hear me? Come in.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02If I was in a jungle with Dave, he'd get me shot, do you know that?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Can you see my face there, yes?
0:24:05 > 0:24:10But now, very difficult to see.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Dave Ovens, Dave Ovens, Dave Ovens, Dave Ovens, Dave.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I'd sack the guy if this was a person
0:24:17 > 0:24:20who came on operation with me, do you know that?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I'd sack him now and I'd send him home.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25He doesn't take orders, he doesn't listen.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I can't work with someone like that.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29'It has not been possible to connect your call...'
0:24:29 > 0:24:31DIAL TONE
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Oh, one missed call, Mr Jones.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Hello, Dave. Right, are you there.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39DIAL TONE
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Why does? Why does...?
0:24:41 > 0:24:42PHONE RINGS
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Right, Francis.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Hello. Just be patient, son. Just be patient.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49It's all set, it's recording now.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Just be patient.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I understand, I understand.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Don't flatten the batteries. It's getting light now.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56There'll be people turning up.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58DIAL TONE
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Ah?
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Mental, innit?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Eventually, just as the technical problems are resolved...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09HE WHISTLES
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Dave, answer me, mate.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Go ahead, Francis.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Dave, there's a car coming down, black, now.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Pick-up truck.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Suspicious movement on the perimeter.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26On Dave's gate cam,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29a dog walker appears to be tampering with the lock.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43You all right, mate?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Can I just ask you what you were doing with the lock?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Seeing if my key would fit it.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51There is no reason touching that lock at all.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I just asked what you were doing with the lock.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Cos someone keeps supergluing the lock.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58It wasn't me.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I keep putting locks on, they keep getting superglued.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I can't afford to keep putting them on.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- It's a shame that, innit? - It is indeed.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10That's him.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Nobody else touched the lock. We've been here all morning.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16With the suspect protesting innocence,
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Dave lets him go with a warning.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21In the interests of the dog, we've protected their identities.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Dave to Francis.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24'Go for it, Dave.'
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Come on down here. It's all over with. Come done now.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31He knows we're here now. He knows he's being watched.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33So that might be the end of it.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Francis arrives as Dave examines the smoking gun.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Yeah, it's been done.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Wow.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Can't get in, it's superglued.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48You got him.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51With a little help from the client, it's case closed.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Back at HQ, they examine the evidence.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Now this is the gentleman here, Francis.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03As you can see, he puts his hands in his pocket, he brings
0:27:03 > 0:27:07something out, he shoves it into the lock. Bang to rights.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Yeah. That's him breaking the lock there.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11He's been caught red-handed.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Wow, wow.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Good on you, Dave. - Thank you very much.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- It's been a pleasure, mate. Cheers. - Top man.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Sorted. Cheers, mate.- Cheers, Dave.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Respect to you, fella. Top man.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25He was getting some stick in the car.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27He couldn't answer his radio, you know.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30"Dave Ovens, are you there? Dave Ovens, are you there?"
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Got a result. Team work. Sparta.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Always provide a solution.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37You got a problem,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39we're like the A-Team and we solve it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Next time...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45He was going to burn the house down.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46And he was going to burn the car.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50A dangerous case puts Francis in a tricky position.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Have you got the money? - HE SNIGGERS
0:27:52 > 0:27:54You've already been paid.
