"Se va a vigilarlos" is translated to "He's off to check up on them"

Now, why 'los' is at the end when 'Se' is already there in the beginning?

It'd makes sense to me if it was 'Se va a vigilar' or 'Va a vigilarlos' or 'Los va a vigilar'.

Please, tell me. Dígame, por favor.

"Se va" means he taking himself... the spanish way of saying he's off.

"Los" is them the direct object of vigilar and added to end of verb... again the spanish way.

See grammar for reflexive verbs and direct object pronouns

v
