Yeah, I just wanna go to the hospital quickly, bro,
just to check it out.
So after the operation...
...where we stopped the guys from stealing the car...
I tore my hamstring as everyone knows,
or I thought I tore my hamstring.
That's it, rookie error number one, bro,
watch where you running.
This... termite mine, bro, and I think I tore my hammy.
That's not a termite, man, that thing looks like a little sandy.
Yeah, that's the same thing, I didn't see it,
and the worst part is I tore my pants.
The good thing about Night Guard,
it's not always just so serious and everything like that,
we like to play around,
and we like to make jokes in the office and everything,
so JP was nice enough to take me to the hospital,
so it's a good atmosphere that we work in.
Thanks.
He had some legs on him, hey.
The suspect that Trevor was chasing, outran him in a pair of flip-flops,
something Trevor's gonna have to think about...
...when he is training for the next operation.
For real, like sticking, like sticking out abs.
Although I was rushing Trevor to the emergency room,
I still had time to pop in and say howzit to my wife and kids,
'cause I knew we were gonna be working late...
...and I wasn't gonna be able to see them.
You were feeding the animals?
I have a wife, Jackie, who pretty much runs the household...
...and keeps everyone in line.
She has three kids, the first one is me, JP,
the second kid is Jean Anthony, my son,
and the third one is Gabriella, my little daughter.
You touched a snake?
-Did you wash your hands? -Yes.
I don't want, I don't want snake germs up in here.
I would go to the ends of the earth to protect my family,
there's nothing I wouldn't do for them.
No one would ever be able to come near them.
Trevor was chasing a suspect,
and he hit a anthill,
and he tore his hamstring, hamstring is this muscle here,
and he tore it now,
so we gonna take him to the hospital to check it out.
Yeah, it was sore, you don't ever wanna tear your hamstring.
What do you wanna ask me?
No.
What do you teach your children?
At JP's house, it's pretty cool,
the kids really want attention and everything,
so it's fun, it's fun to play with Anthony,
'cause he's got all, all the electronics,
and he's got all knives and deadly weapons and stuff.
See, that was nearly.
Jacks, I'm gonna take a trip to the hospital quick.
Bye, princess.
Love you, guys.
We finally got Trevor to the emergency room,
and the news wasn't good.
We came up from seeing the doctor and we, we got some really tragic news.
JP just gave me a call from the hospital,
he said its not good news with Trevor in the emergency.
When the doctors looked at him, they found a vagina.
We have quite a few guys on the street that are our ears and eyes,
and sometimes they got something valuable for us,
sometimes they've got nothing.
But it's better to have these guys watching out.
You know, better the criminal, you know, than the criminal you don't,
so these guys on the streets, we talk to them.
Sometimes we get some valuable Intel out of these guys,
and it aids us in arresting a gang,
or ridding the neighbourhood of a potential threat.
This time around, one of our informants managed to put us in touch...
...with someone that's connected to some of these gangs on the street.
Now you send me out,
and you expect me to just go... operate with Trevor.
Clever Trevor.
Yeah, we got a tip-off, there's...
Actually an informant contacted my brother Zaine and JP,
so when I got to the office, I actually saw JP taping up Zaine.
It's gonna be a small camera, it's like a pinhole camera,
it's just gonna come through the shirt a little bit.
It's actually very risky meeting an informant,
because you actually don't know who is watching.
There could be hits out on that informant already,
because they know this informant is a rat.
Don't know this... oak,
but apparently he runs all the streets here,
so don't take him cheap.
I don't know what he's gonna do.
I'm gonna be in the parking lot...
...to see if he's got any of his chronies there,
and if... gets heavy,
I'm gonna come inside there to back you up.
Well, we'll just calm the situation down.
Just get the information and get out.
It's always nerve wrecking going to meet an informant,
especially wearing a wire.
You never know what he's gonna do, or what's gonna happen,
or who he is actually gonna bring with him,
so going to meet an informant can be the most dangerous part of the day.
Yeah, sweet.
Have you got your gun?
No, I'll pack it just now.
Oaks, just remember, you cant trust anybody, hey.
Be safe out there.
Sure.
When I first walk through the door at the restaurant,
I saw this big, intimidating guy sitting in the corner.
You, you immediately have an adrenaline spike,
so your heart starts pounding and your adrenalin start racing,
because you never know what's gonna happen.
So you've always gotta expect the worst and hope for the best.
I could see the informant was apprehensive in the beginning,
the problem is, when these guys give out information,
they never know who they giving information to.
They could be giving information to the police,
and then they can be arrested for collusion in these crimes.
So, you know, it's, it's very important to get him to trust you,
to get him to know that you are part of the solution,
get him to know that you are his friend.
The key to getting information from informants...
...is always to keep the situation calm,
never work the informant up,
always let him know that he's gonna get paid,
and let him know that the information he give us...
...is gonna keep him safe and keep our families safe,
so it's beneficial to both parties.
So let him become part of the team and not part of the problem.
Listen, brother, you... calm down.
This is my brother, brother.
What, am I supposed to be scared?
Don't... touch me.
I had to calm the situation down, defuse both of them,
sat him down, gave him the money, showed him that he was gonna get paid.
And once he got the money, he started talking.
My brother.
If this guy's information turns out good,
we will carry on talking to him in the future.
In the meantime, we have to do our best to protect his identity,
so he doesn't get into trouble with the gangsters.
My job is very physically demanding,
and that is why I have to wake up and do some exercises.
I have to keep my body fit and ready for any situation.
They don't call me the muscle for nothing.
Before I go to work today, I'm gonna past by police station,
since I've been asked by the lady.
She's a family friend, so she's got a child missing,
so I have to go there and do some follow up,
and see how the proceeding with the case.
This girl, she's still 13, such a sad story.
I hope we gonna find her.
Dave, so what did the police say about the docket with your family member?
Yeah, no, Dave's heart carries all the way through,
from work all the way home,
I mean, he's a good family man, he looks after his family.
He's wife's happy, his children are always happy.
There's no issues, he's never got an issue.
Okay, shame, so you've known them for a while and that?
Yeah, it's...
Shame, man. But if you need anything, anything you need from us,
you know we're a family, hey.
Yes, yes.
We all stick together and we support each other.
Yeah.
I mean, what I wanna do, I wanna also meet that investigating officer also,
and put pressure from my side and see exactly what conclusion we get,
because we cant just leave it like that.
But if we keep putting pressure and speak to higher people also,
then they'll put the pressure for us on them also.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eish.
-Two weeks? -Yeah, two weeks.
She lost, lost for two weeks.
So...
What area did she get lost in?
-Right... -Or see?
-With her school friends. -Yeah.
Yeah, the last people to see her is her school friends.
Yeah, but I'm sure we will succeed.
Yeah, we will. We will.
-Yeah, I know. -Hoping for the best.
-We just keep on praying. -Yes.
-The Lord will help us. -Yeah, thank you.
-No, pleasure, Dave. -Yeah, yeah.
No, but we'll sort it out.
Yeah, thank you.
Besides everything else I do, I also head up our operations.
Looks like we're on a call at the moment.
So I organise all the systems,
I make sure that all the systems are integrated,
and that in general, the control room is running smoothly.
Well, basically, your control room is the heart of your operation.
All the alarms coming there,
all the footage from off site comes in there.
Your calls from your clients come through the control room.
This is the old control room,
it's much too small and there's not enough equipment in it.
Basically, we setting up CCTV system at a client,
we often put in dummy cameras in certain area's,
so people think they're being watched.
When you deal with expensive CCTV equipment,
you gotta handle it with care, otherwise, it breaks.
Yeah, well, as you can see, it's pretty hectic here,
clients phoning in,
burglar alarms going off, all that kind of thing.
Howzit, Lucas?
I'm really good, I'm doing good.
How we doing here today?
Yeah, we doing good, we doing good right here.
Is it? We've been busy today?
Did the police managed to arrest anyone?
You know, when Klaus came to me to show me,
actually designed of, he actually designed of himself,
the control room with the plug layout, the lights and all that,
I didn't... I could've done that.
I mean, must've been a genius behind that.
Must've taken him a hell of a long time.
Well, the new control room...
...is gonna have a lot of new facilities in it,
in terms of off site monitoring, it's gonna be much better for us.
Okay, so this is the new control room.
As you can see, they mounting the screens at the moment.
Guys, you must mount those screens perfectly straight, hey.
Yes.
I scream a lot at the guys, but I take a lot of pride in my work...
...and I'm very meticulous about it.
We went out to do a routine patrol through an open veldt.
There had been numerous calls...
...for people dumping illegal rubbish and refuse.
And on this land,
there's normally a lot of guys that build shacks and stuff...
...and get asked to move on a regular basis.
In South Africa, illegal dumping is a huge thing for us,
I mean, we got these guys from the squatter camp that have bakkie's,
and that are charging people to collect their rubbish,
but not taking it to the proper dump.
And we find it a lot in, in that open veldt there.
We found not only illegal dumping, but we found vagrants,
Actually staying, staying on the open land,
and they were growing their own Marijuana.
These are Marijuana plants,
commonly known as dagga plants in South Africa.
Often these guys would come into bush veldt area's like this...
...and start a plantation.
What happened was, I walked through the one section,
and I started finding little Marijuana plants.
Moolie found a couple.
Trevor found a couple.
Here's a big one.
I mean, it was a proper setup, there were rows and rows of dagga plants.
Marijuana is completely illegal in South Africa.
The sale of Marijuana to anyone is illegal.
The problem we have in South Africa is a lot of these guys...
...that grow these stuff, grow the outdoor Marijuana,
just like wild in open fields,
and open parks and that kind of thing.
I need you guys to work together with me,
not to make trouble here like this, please.
Are you taking your stuff?
Who sleeps that side?
They've been picking the heads off here.
Here's also another one.
They cultivate the stuff here,
and then they wrap in in little newspaper balls,
and they sell it 10 bucks a little newspaper.
You know, Marijuana, in certain places in the world, it's legal
and those countries operate, the guys function on it.
That Marijuana is tested.
Because it's not legal here,
there's no control on what they put on the Marijuana,
or who they sell it to,
and this creates a big problem.
You getting it sold at the petrol stations,
anybody is selling it.
They selling it to schools, they selling it to kids.
They've managed to tap into an illegal waters source here,
and this is where all these guys get their water from.
We burnt all that Marijuana.
That pile of dope.
Oh, man, I told you.
Oh, my word, that's wet, bro.
Look.
You gonna have to get a twig and...
Very disgusting.
10-4 responding.
We received a call to attend a panic, or alarm activation...
...at an office park, office premises we do.
I was the closest one in the facility, Emile was also in the area.
Did you copy that Mike from control?
I did, but I don't hear the office park.
What was it?
Office park,... office park.
I'm proceeding, I'm proceeding.
I'm actually on Beyers Naude.
10-4, 10-4.
We've received a panic activation from one of our office parks.
So we...
There have been gangs operating in the, in the area,
so we actually on our way to go and do an inspection,
make sure everything's okay.
We actually hoping to make an arrest,
because these guys have been terrorising this area for a while now.
I was in the car with Moolie, we had a burglary signal,
it was activated.
Nine times out of 10, it's normally just a false alarm,
but we still need have to take extreme precaution.
This is my first time ever responding to a situation like this,
so I don't know what to expect.
I was hoping it was a false alarm.
This was Trevor's first robbery call, I mean, he was a bit nervous in the car,
I don't blame him,
because when I was going on my first one, I was also nervous.
I mean, 'cause you don't know what to expect,
you've never been there, you've never seen it,
you don't know what the hell's gonna go on.
Send your Mike.
ETO. What's your ETO?
I'm just, just down the road, just down the road.
Copy, copy, I'm not far behind.
We passing the shopping, the office park on the right.
I see one gate is standing open,
there's definitely some action going on there.
You know, rushing to the scene there,
adrenaline's, the blood, is rushing through your body,
'cause you don't know what you gonna intercept there,
you don't know if you rushing onto a gang waiting with R5's...
...that's just waiting to shoot the hell out of you or what.
So you don't know if it's a false alarm.
So you don't know, so your adrenaline is rushing.
Wait! Hey! Stop!
Yes, he went out to the pool, yeah.
I check, it's clear.
It is clear, so I'm not...
I think he's gone in the bushes!
Trevor boarding.
The office is open there.
Me and Emile turned our focus on the actual building itself.
Get you cover.
Clear.
They came through, cleared, cleared the building.
We found that they ransacked the place.
They already have been moving computer screens and TV's...
...out into a quantum.
We'll get them next time. We gonna run the plates now...
...and see who we can track this vehicle to.
Just as well they weren't taking the computers.
They really ransacked it here, hey.
Do they have an alarm system?
Ninety-nine percent of the time when storage facilities are hit,
it is information that comes from the inside.
A lot of the time what happens in situations like this,
these suspects run, flee the scene,
but they don't disappear,
they hide in the bush, they wait for all the action to end,
and then they come back,
so it's very important that we search the entire premises,
and that we search the surrounding veldt.
That's why all crazy get all page.
I do believe there was some sort of information...
...that was leaked from the inside,
but this is all under investigation.
Jeez, bro, that was... crazy, bro.
I didn't think we were catching anyone.
When I got up there, he was long gone,
but at least, I got to show my performance,
being a spider monkey and all.
I think Trevor's a bit confused by the names he calls himself.
He was a cheetah the other day,
and when we threw him on the roof, he was a spider monkey.
I just got up there...
Then the other day, he was a bloody sloth when he chasing that criminal.
Well, at least we can recover their stuff back to them.
That's the only matters.
How often do you guys actually catch people on site like that?
Not often.
We can just be lucky that we arrived, it was just two seconds late.
Well, it's one of those things, but...
I don't...
I can promise you these... wont come back here.
Yeah, at the end of the day, we a bit upset,
'cause we always like to make arrests,
but luckily we got the taxi,
so we actually got a hot lead on the taxi now,
so hopefully we can make a few arrests soon,
and thank Lord, no one pulled a hammy, hey.
Shine that light here again.
Always putting my body on the line, hey.
You can't ever call me a...
Always a bitch.
Let me see.
Oh... bro, we gonna have to cut your hand off.
Trevor handled himself quite well in this situation.
I know he was pumped, I know his heart was racing,
'cause when I spoke to him afterwards, he told me how hectic it was.
I'm pretty sure from here on in, he's gonna grow from strength to strength.
He's definitely becoming a superb part of this team,
and we are a tightly knitted unit.
Charlie one, Charlie one, come in for Zulu one.
Send your mike Zulu.
We need police assistance on site here...
Just send us a sector vehicle to come and take statements...
...and all that kind of stuff.
Just log it with 10-1-1-1 and get a reference number.
Okay, I got everything. Thank you.
10-4.
I was busy with a security risk assessment...
...in the Wynberg, Alexandra area.
It's, it's quite a heavy place.
This is Alexandra.
This is one of the townships around in the Johannesburg area.
I was doing a full risk assessment on the site and the surrounding area.
A client needed us to provide him with a quotation.
We busy doing an assessment in Wynberg.
A guy's got a factory, and...
He's getting robbed, there's a lot of...
What the...
Just hold on, let's just help this guy here.
Buddy, what's up? What's up, buddy?
As I stopped the car, the kid started talking to me,
I couldn't really understand what he was trying to say,
he looked pretty shaken up.
The best strategy was to get him in the car, quickly.
It's not a very safe area.
Come, come, get in my car, it's not safe here.
The kid wasn't safe... And to be quite frank,
neither was I safe walking around that area.
Let the cameraman in.
Pop in the back here. Cameraman, help him in the back here.
Where did they, where did they take your car?
Up in there, up in there.
So I put the kid in the car quickly,
and we just assessed what the situation was.
Hey, buddy.
They, they went into the township there.
Okay, listen, we gonna take you to the police station,
we not gonna go chasing after these oaks right now...
...while you in bad shape.
Okay, yeah, this guy, this kid was a sitting duck.
He was out there alone and cold with no shoes on.
And although his car was gone, they...
By the time... If I got there any later,
he would've been naked by the time I got there.
What did they hit you with a gun?
Yeah, he just used the back of the gun.
What happened?
I was at a robot on my way to Varsity,
this guy came to my window,
and he said to me something about Sarmies at the garage,
says I'm...
And while I was distracted,
he hopped into my passenger seat and pulled a gun out.
He was buying a stolen iPod in the suburb near where he stays,
and somebody offered him an iPod for 200 rand.
When he picked up the person, the suspects produced a firearm...
...and made him drive him to Alexandra.
Klaus just put an ABP out on this car, please.
What colour car was it?
Yeah, it was a silver Hyundai Getz.
Silver Hyundai Getz.
The suspect also pistol whipped him, made him get out of the car,
took his shoes, his cellphone and wallet,
and made off with his car.
You know that iPod is cost 2000 rand not 200 rand, hey.
Yeah.
So where do you think it comes from?
You think maybe it's stolen?
I, I didn't really ask...
It just happened so fast.
You know, this is, this is life in South Africa.
If you gonna be stupid enough to go buy stolen goods...
...and this happens too you really,
I don't know if we can have pity on you.
Okay, we on the way,
we gonna take the victim to the police station.
Just get them to start looking for that car, it's gone into Alex,
right here where it happened.
Okay?
Where are your shoes?
I gave this kid a piece of my mind and a little bit of a lecture.
I wasn't too hard on him,
but, you know, he needs to understand...
...that this is not normal behaviour to buy stolen goods.
Do you have anybody I could call?
Do you know anyone's number off by heart?
I took this kid to the police station where his mother met him,
and they went in to open a case.
South Africa is a beautiful country, it's the best place in the world,
but there are areas that just don't drive with your windows open,
and you don't try buy stolen stuff.
Mad Mool come in.
Send your mike, send your mike.
We rolling into the constructions site.
There's some kind of a dispute or something there, just go in carefully.
I don't know if these guys are holding... spades,
or picks or whatever,
so just roll in carefully, watch around you.
The building site just off Allendale?
Yeah.
We received a call about some kind of dispute...
...at the construction site,
and we were gonna go check it out.
So we just coming out here to see what the situation is,
we gotta be careful.
I can already see guys' fires on the outside here,
so we gotta take this quite carefully,
these guys throw bricks or hit you with a shovel or something.
So we gotta be very, very...
When we get in here now, we gonna see what our situation is.
Well, lets just go see and ask them exactly...
-...when their situation is. -Okay.
There's two guys on the side of the property of the construction site,
so we went to go see exactly who they were.
We found out they were security guards watching Eskom's cables.
-Go down... -Straight?
Straight down.
What are they guarding, the cables?
Cables.
After checking on the two guys that were watching the cable,
we proceeded to search the site...
...to see what the reason for the panic call was.
Hello, Dave.
There's nobody here that's not supposed to be here, hey?
It's very dangerous at night on these construction sites,
and these type of environments, late at night,
where there's no lighting.
You got people that are unhappy sometimes or a criminal element hiding within.
There's bricks, there's rocks, and pieces of corrugated iron,
and somebody's gonna get hit over the head sooner or later,
so when you enter these situations,
you enter it with the ultimate respect and precaution.
The construction site is a huge site, with hundreds of people living there.
We got to site and made contact with the guard...
...who showed us quickly where the problem was.
Yes.
He's on the bridge.
He's there, oh, he's there...
That's man.
No, man.
Come on.
-Let's go back... -Come on...
-Let's... -I'm just...
Let's, let's... Get, come on.
He's got a brick on him, he's got a brick.
Calm down, buddy. Calm down.
-Leave me! -Hey.
You can't, you can't come to site and make trouble here with the bosses,
'cause all that's gonna happen is we gonna lock you up.
You know, you definitely missed, you can think about...
But you come, you come in the day, come and speak to him,
come and see him like decent, don't behave badly.
As it turns out, the fight wasn't a big fight...
...between all the workers,
luckily it was just one foreman and a disgruntled employee.
Listen, buddy, I don't wanna tell you how to run your... business,
but you were about two seconds away from getting a brick on your head, okay?
And next time I'm not gonna be here to... help you.
So you need to chill the... out, okay?
I understand. But you gotta learn how to suss out the situation first,
you can't just go at him with the bull horns.
He had a brick in his hand.
You were two seconds away from getting your head smashed in.
So you need to take it easy, calm down, and leave it up to us.
Before the dispute develops,
push the panic button and get us out here.
Otherwise, what's gonna happen is you gonna have a casualty.
You gonna land up dead or you gonna land up killing someone,
and both ways are gonna be bad for you.
You can come tomorrow and get your money tomorrow.
Don't come and make trouble here.
It wasn't what we expected, at least nobody got hurt.
Yeah, it's been a long day for me,
and then I just get the call from my police contact.
I hope it's a good news.
Hello, yes, constable...
Sorry, it's David here, I missed your call.
Okay. Have you ever made progress about that case?
Okay.
Oh, my God.
It wasn't a, it wasn't a good news.
They just found the a girl,
and then she's passed on.
And that it's so sad.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Okay, please, man,
let me be the one to break the news to the mother,
because I'm so close to her and so...
Her mother is going to be crushed and...
I don't know, but I will see when I get there.
Oh, guys, guys, please, please.
Can I have the respect on this one.
I'm going to break the news to the mother.
Stay away from this, it's personal.
