[? They got ?] [? it. ?] Hey. Hey. Over here, over here. Over here. Brady, over here. Brady. Kazza, what's happening? Is it a guy right there? Yeah, he's right here. [MUSIC PLAYING] Previously on Delos-- we do some more underwater exploring, we have one final sail with Greg and Cheyenne, and we say a sad goodbye to Camilla. It was 3 AM and we had just been woken up by an incredibly loud noise. We ran out on deck to find someone attempting to steal our dinghy, Kazza, what's happening? Is it a guy right there? Yeah, he's right here. [INAUDIBLE] We had come home early that night and did as we always do, lift Maggie a few meters out of the water, turn out the lights, and crawl into bed. Unfortunately, a local from the village thought it would be a good idea to paddle out and see if he could get his hands on our outboard motor. Once he realized the motor alone would sink his little canoe, he decided to stand up and cut through the haylard that was holding all 150 kilos of Maggie. The ridiculously loud noise of Maggie falling two meters onto his canoe woke us up immediately. I turned the deck lights on and ran outside with a flashlight to find a man standing in Maggie, attempting to paddle her away. Half naked and half asleep, my first reaction was to yell, hey you, [BLEEP],, which scared him enough for him to dive out of the dinghy and disappear into the dark water surrounding us. Brian appeared with a machete, also yelling and screaming like a crazy man. Get the [BLEEP] out of here, you son of a [BLEEP].. We immediately sprung into action, jumping into Maggie just before she drifted away. We re-tightened the outboard motor and began the chase. There was no way we were letting this asshole get away without trying to capture his face on camera. Where's he at? He's right under the boat. Right here, right here. Under the water. Swimming back over. This dude was an incredible diver, going back and forth under the keel of Delos and least six or seven times. He's over here, Brady. He's right here. So [BLEEP] scary, though. He's over here. Our plan was to scare him, scare the shit out of him, actually. And hopefully get him in the dingy and take him to the police station. Hey, I'm going to get you [BLEEP].. Don't [BLEEP] I don't know if I like this. I know he's [BLEEP] tired. He's right here. Yeah. [INAUDIBLE] Is there just one of them? [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Come here. Yeah. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Come here in the [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I don't-- They're going to get him in the boat. It's-- I mean-- he's a [BLEEPING] pissed, but you don't-- I don't know. We don't want him to drown. We don't want to hurt him. So the boy's getting him now. [INAUDIBLE] No, no, no Don't let him rest. Don't let him rest. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] All right, starboard. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] We're not going to kill you, bro. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] We're not going to kill you. He doesn't want to go in the boat, though. Yeah, get his face. Get his face. But it's-- No, no, no [INAUDIBLE] Blurry. [INAUDIBLE] He's slippery, bro. You almost had him. [INAUDIBLE] He's hard to grab, bro. OK. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Guys. Brian, do you want to call somebody or should we-- Yeah shouldn't we be calling? Nah, we'll get him first. He's right here. Well, I mean, he's never going to hand himself in. Yeah, he's not. After a while, we figured it would be a good idea to call some of our local friends, get some advice on what to do. After all, we were in Madagascar and wanted to play by the local rules. The security guard. Should we call, like, Bruce Bruce or Rudy? Yeah, I think he swam to the other boat and [BLEEP] I mean, it's really dark out tonight. Must be just like hanging on. It's no moonlight. Yeah, he might be hanging onto something or is drifting, right? If he drifts down it's real hard to see him. So I think we're going to try to call somebody to figure out what to do. But, I don't know. Yeah. I kept hearing these crazy noises and I thought the bow of the dinghy was full of water because it was like banging and making a weird noise. then I just got this [BLEEP] feeling, a really bad feeling. So I flipped the lights on on deck and came out with a flashlight and somebody had cut the halyard for the dinghy. Really? And was trying to fucking steal the outboard in a sinking canoe. Like, [BLEEP] is he going to do? Absolutely didn't think about it at all. His canoe is totally under water and it's gone and he's trying to steal our massive outboard. Trying to swim to another boat to lose us. Come on, let's go over there, quick. [? Go, ?] go. Why do people do shit like this, though? Like, what the [BLEEP]. I don't know, it just makes me really sad. Like a beautiful place like this and then can just be completely destroyed, in a way, by people think that it's OK to steal from other people. It's just real shit. Just makes me sad. No luck? Nah, we lost him. We're going to try and find his canoe. So I just need Mares dive lights. Can you [INAUDIBLE] I think we-- I think we lost him in the dark and he's something between the boats and we couldn't get him on board. We kept grabbing him and his shirt kept ripping apart. But we found the canoe. And he probably stole it so if we collect the canoe and hopefully we have this face then we can maybe track him down. So the guys have just gone off now and there's a lot of whistling going on and I think quite a few other boats are now awake. And I feel like it's [? something that's ?] going on at land. So maybe he got into land. I'm just happy other people are awake because then at least other people can help and locals can be more-- I don't know. I don't like when it's just the guys because you never know even-- I mean, what do you even do with somebody? If we would have caught him, like-- I guess we all have different feelings about it but for me it's like, I don't know. Like, if you want to get involved with the police in that way in here. I mean, Madagascar is amazing but I don't think you want to get involved the police here, unfortunately. And me and Cheyenne are having a cup of tea because I need to calm down. Have you ever been robbed before, Cheyenne? From my locker in high school. Not like this. Yeah. It's definitely a little sketchy. And it's different when you're in a country. Like, it's not in Sweden where you can call the police, 911, boom, somebody's there in 10 minutes, you know? It's different. You have to deal with it yourself. You have to take action that you don't need to in another country. Yeah. Yeah, just trying to stay calm. Where it's like you said, back home it's like you call someone else to come and help you. Where here there's five of us and we all have to help each other and then look out for all of these people's boats and make sure that everybody is like aware of what's going on. Yeah. So it's good that you got a shot of his face because now at least there's a name to what's been going on. Yeah. And it looks like there's a spotlight search from-- is that a boat? Do you see that? Is that the boys? Every once and a while. See that? Yeah, that's probably them. Meanwhile, we were scouring through the jungle with about 10 of the locals. After a few hours of searching the sun started to rise and we called it off. The thief had escaped into the darkness. What a manhunt that was. Did you find him? No. Very close. Really? Very close a few times. He was up in the jungle. I think they saw him climbing the rocks here. Yeah, we spent the last couple of hours in the jungle trying to track him. No luck. No luck. Torches started dying and he gone. He's gone. I think he was in his canoe trying to take the outboard off and that wasn't working because it's so fucking heavy. Ah, yeah. And he's probably like-- Because when you lift it the whole thing-- The whole front, exactly. Goes up, right? So then he's like, OK. So you have to be two people in two canoes to be able to push [? straight to ?] front. Yeah. So then he's probably standing there next to it and just started cutting the lines and those were the loud noises that sounded like the anchor was pulling. Every time you cut a line the dinghy's like-- and then he had it. I mean, it was gone. It was loose. [INAUDIBLE] Yeah it was-- He cut all the lines and the bow line was cut. Really? Yeah. It was floating right next to the boat when me and Brady came out. Yeah. I just stepped into it and then we-- It was like this fucking close. Another, 10, 15 seconds and it would have been drifting that way. We came out and it was gone. I mean it, I had pieces of shirt that kept ripping. Yeah. Then you'd grab his arm and he was a little slippery. Real slippery. Madagascar [INAUDIBLE]. We got a canoe. We got a canoe. That's pretty cool. We did. Yeah, we found his canoe. I'm happy you guys didn't get hurt or witness any brutality. Yeah, I was on the way back and I started seeing there was probably 10 people involved looking for him. And on the way back, we passed the people that were on the trail if he ran out, and they all had knives and rocks. And we're like, well, maybe they'll hit him a few times and then grab him and take them to the police. Or maybe their brain will flip and then he's dead. I don't think the kid deserves to die. No. That's what we were saying, too. He deserves to get the shit scared out of him like he did. And he deserves to get caught. It sucks because we're not going to sleep well and every little noise is going to wake us up. That's the worst part about it is [INAUDIBLE].. The last time it happened it took months for me to be able to sleep again, you know? Yeah. So we have some boys here that think that they know who the canoe belongs to and they want to take it. I don't think they speak good French and they definitely don't speak English. And French is shit. But it sounds like they know the owner of the boat. The chances that it was his canoe is pretty slim, right? Yeah, I don't think it would be his. He looked quite young. I don't know, generally the people that own the canoes that are proper fisherman they're not bad people, you know? They have a livelihood and they like the sea and they kind of have a respect for each other. So it could be his uncles or it could be somebody that knows him, right? Yeah. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Sorry about that. Huh? [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] They're like, shit. I don't think they knew that we [INAUDIBLE] Yeah. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Brady, it's true? You got to have picture of-- Yes, on my phone. On your phone? Yes. You can show me the face? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, we can. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Things are happening. I don't know what but people are gathering and talking. We're going to carry it on to dry land. Only one guy, no? Yeah, one guy. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I don't know what they're saying but it sounds-- they said a few names. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Is he black? Yes. Yes. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Maybe young, young too. Yeah, he's young. 20 maybe. 20. About 20. Yeah. Or something. Not much more. You don't know? Or you recognize him, but don't know the name? [INAUDIBLE] Yes, yes. Yeah, we know his name. Oh you do? And he's the guy who makes something wrong here every time, every time. Last night only one person, just him. Yeah. Yeah. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] I know this face. I know this face. Yeah? I'm 80% sure. Yeah? I'm 80% sure. Who's the canoe? Huh? Who does the canoe. This canoe is for the man who will help you to bring it here. The man who has the cab. I asked him who asked you yesterday for the [NON-ENGLISH]. Anyone ask to ask me for the [NON-ENGLISH],, he just kept the [NON-ENGLISH] Do you think he stole it last night from-- Yeah he stole this [NON-ENGLISH] and-- OK, so those kids had no idea. They were just like, my dad told me to come get his canoe back. And we were like, no, it's ours. So we were apparently 80% sure who the thief was by this point. Over the past year, things had gone missing from a few other yachts. In fact, our friends had their laptops stolen not long before this incident. The system here in Madagascar is a bit different than most places. Matters like this would normally be taken care of by the village itself. They call the village justice and it actually works really well for crime prevention. If you're caught doing something wrong, you are shamed and possibly beaten. If the offense is really bad and you're directly affecting the livelihood of the other villagers, there's a chance you will be killed. There is no room for dishonesty among the culture here. But we were foreigners, and the last thing we wanted was to get mixed up in village justice. So we called the police. We called the police. Yeah. And we're going to show them this guy and the picture [? of you ?] and then-- So Bruce called the local [? agent ?] [? amery, ?] the local police department and his friend that is the police officer there. So they don't feel the need to come down here. Bruce said that we'll make a report, print the pictures, and then we'll come and we'll give it to Bruce and he'll translate it in to Malagasy and then he'll go and he'll take it to the police station later today. OK. So-- And then we'll see. If Bruce wants to do that. It's not like we're-- Yeah, no, he said this is the best plan. Or else he said it's just like you just leave it and you're just, OK, well let's just be lazy about it and he said-- And then he's going to be out there next month, too. Yeah. We're about to go in and give our official statement. Da da da. Wherever that is. [INAUDIBLE] And I've printed out some pictures of our little [BLEEP]. It totally looks like a wanted poster, doesn't it? It does. And Brian put this little thing together just in case the police have a computer with a USB. The thief of Madagascar. We weren't the first people to have problems around here. Everyone from the local village was pretty sure they knew who was causing all the trouble. The only problem was no one could ever prove it. Everyone wanted to come and have a look at the thief in action. So Bruce has just finished translating everything into Malagasy and he even wrote on behalf of the marina, too, how important the matter is because it's not normal around here and it ruins tourism and it ruins sailors coming here. It's a beautiful place and if one person can ruin it, nobody will come here anymore. And they understand that here for tourism, you know? So all the local fishermen around here and everybody that works here and everybody in the closest village is very, very against this sort of thing. I think we'll go to the police station. The police station in [NON-ENGLISH].. OK. Just five kilometer or six kilometer from here. OK, not far. They won't let us film in the police station anyway so we'll just go and turn this stuff in and see what they say. Sounds good. Maitenant? Yes. OK. The story. So-- Oui, oui, oui. So Bruce took me to the police department in [INAUDIBLE] way on the top of the hill somewhere. And we gave them the form and the photos and it was pretty cool. They had computers in there so I was able to-- and he had a hard drive so I used the tablet and transferred the video and they loved it, man. They were trotting around watching the video like, oh, look at him. Laughing their ass off. And they said, we need to go see the local security force because the police-- there is not enough police to do anything about it. Yeah. But there's like a private security force that's here. It's 30,000 ariary per security guy to go capture him. So how many security guys? Three? Three. So now I go with this man to find him. If he's really at home or not and then I phone them and come now and they [INAUDIBLE].. We need to capture him, he's bad for the clients, for the tourism, and that's really bad for us too here for the marina. And for the future of the marina it's very, very bad. Yeah. And we need to make some example, something like that. The little [INAUDIBLE],, the Windows tablet, game changer. High five. They were like, what? You caught it on video? Never seen any crime caught on video before. And it's on this little tablet thing? Like, what? And then the guy has a hard drive and he's like, put it on here? I was like, yeah. They were like, whoa. And then he watched it on his computer like 10 times. He was like, aw, look at him, ha ha ha. Luis. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] OK. OK, so they said that they captured him. So it sounds like-- oh no, no [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]. It sounds like they got him, I think. And he's like, they're going to meet at the local police station just up here for us so if we want to go and make sure it's him we can have a look at him. Let's go. Let's do it. So we're going to organize a taxi to go up there. It's kind of weird because you never really, like-- You never get closer. You never get closure. I think-- That's what the guy was telling me. It's like, we never get a reason, we never know who it is, we never have-- They wake up and their shit's gone. Maybe they see somebody swimming away but they never can capture it and they don't know who it is. And if this is the guy then it's great, man. It's kind of like an episode of Cops. And then things got even more bizarre. We met Bruce on the side of the road. A few guys who we assume to be the private security force piled into the back of the taxi with us. It turns out one of those dudes was the thief. What's up Bruce Bruce? Yeah? How are you? Fine, and you? Yes. The man is just here. So-- Yeah, that's the one. From last night? Oui? Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah. Yep. The same dude we were chasing in the dinghy and swinging paddles at last night was sitting right next to Greg and Brian in the back of the taxi. And you guys? Are you sure? I need to see him in the light. OK, hold on. Wed need you to put the light on. Put the light. I can see your-- Video. Yeah, yeah. Oui, oui. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Yeah. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Yeah, I mean, look at that one. Oui, oui. As soon as I saw him and the light, I-- Yeah. I see. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Cool, man. Well Madagascar justice actually works. Who knows what's going to happen after this. And it was civilized justice, so far. Very civilized. Nobody's-- I mean, he just-- Nobody-- We got in the taxi with him which surprised me. That's kind of awkward. That was a little awkward. You're like, dude, I was trying to smash your face in last night and catch you in the jungle and now you're-- And now we're paying for a taxi ride to take you to the [NON-ENGLISH]. Yeah. OK. It's very weird situation. I think-- I'm glad the girls didn't come. [INAUDIBLE] They would have been like sitting in your lap with him next to them. I think that's a bit traumatizing. Yeah. Yeah. Looks like he accept. He accepted. He accept. He says, it was me. To be there on the boat. OK. He said it was him last night. Confession, 100%. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] OK, go. OK, OK, OK. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] So he accept. He accept. He admitted. Accept. Yeah, yeah, accept. Because he don't want to-- because the [INAUDIBLE] they force him, they force him again and again and he accept finally, you know? And they know the [NON-ENGLISH] on his face-- From the fight. Yeah. Yeah. But let's go now. OK, let's go now. We did good today. Yeah. The thief ended up spending about two months in the local jail. After learning more about him it turned out he was a young father without a job and was trying to make ends meet and provide for his family. This is in no way an excuse, but his story is pretty universal worldwide. Just like in every other city in the world, if you leave things of value around or leave your house or car unlocked, there's bound to be an opportunistic thief looking to take advantage of the situation. The friendliness and honesty of the locals here reminded us that Nosy Be, Madagascar is just like everywhere else in the world-- 99% friendly, honest, and safe. Unfortunately, all it takes is one incident for word to spread and people to have a preconceived notion about a place. We have never found Madagascar to be dangerous and will not let this one-off experience change our perception of this paradise we love so much. So, it is our last dinner. Oh, shit. The last supper. I cannot believe. How do you guys feel about inviting a bunch of strangers on your boat? Just us. Oh yeah, we were kindred spirits before. I feel like I already knew you. I already knew you guys. Are we wicked awesome? Wicked awesome. Yeah. Wicked smart. Wicked smart. Thank you guys for being such a good crew. [MUSIC PLAYING] So, it's 6:30 in the morning. I just woke up and we fly out today. And I don't know if I'm ready to fly out. There's been quite a lot of commotion the past day. And we had somebody try and steal Maggie. I was kind of, pretty shaken up by at first, just to be woken up by somebody else on the boat. Then you have mornings like this that are so calm and there's such a beautiful sunrise and there's already fishermen waving and so many happy people that it's like, you just know it's going to be OK. I just want to say, thank you guys. And I'm going to miss you all a lot. [BLEEP] But no tears because adventures will happen again. Everything's packed. Sadly. Unfortunately. I know. Thank you so much for having us. It was such a pleasure to meet you guys and we will see you in [? Aman. ?] All right, it sounds good. Thank you so much. Our pleasure. It was awesome. You guys were an awesome crew. Thank you. Great crew. So much. You fit in so well. [INAUDIBLE] sad. Absolute legends, mate. It was a wicked awesome trip. Wicked awesome kid. Dude. Dude, it was killer. Bye, see you soon. Bye. And just like that, it was only three left. [PLAYING GUITAR] Next up on Delos-- we celebrate Kazza birthday in style. I'm the king of the world. Not really, but it's my birthday. A beautiful day filled with diving, exploring, and watching a solar eclipse. (SINGING) Count the stars, I'm fighting sleep. So let it wash over me. I'm ready to lose my feet. Take me out to the place where [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE] First thing in the morning. It's a wrap. (SINGING) --wake up [INAUDIBLE] part of me. [INAUDIBLE] I'm blind [? to see ?] find how far she go. Everybody got their reason. Everybody got their way. We just catching and releasing what beats [INAUDIBLE] today. Like it? I like it a lot. (SINGING) --your body. It flows right through your blood.
