Original subtitles

Taxi stands are situated outside terminals one and four.

So was it all a lie?

No.

Not everything.

I really am a terrible cook.

Thank you very much.

Right. So, your flight's booked for tomorrow.

Um, I've sent you all the details,

and you'll need to cancel that visa application.

OK.

And I'll need my key back.

I lied because...

..I don't know where else to go.

Well, now you do.

Goodbye, Asha. All the best.

Ah!

Don't block me.

Relationship troubles.

Um, yeah. Something like that.

Being permanently jet-lagged has done wonders for mine.

Well, I feel permanently jet-lagged, and I don't even fly.

Viggo Larsen, UK National.

His visa has been cancelled at multiple ports

for capacity to cause civil unrest.

So his entry is pending the minister's decision.

We have strict protocols, so we need to make sure. Yeah, I'm across the guidelines, Troy.

Viggo has a massive alt right following in Australia,

so if not handled correctly, this could blow up in our faces.

Mira? Hello?

Uh... Sorry, Troy. Understood.

I'll alert the AAP to be on stand-by.

You should get War Chest. Download that app. It's great.

Is that his fitness thing?

No, mate, it's Viggo's wealth generator app.

How much you made?

- It takes time. - I'm sure it does.

Oh, righto, hero.

Just because the guy's not afraid to say things others won't

- doesn't mean... - Because it's racist, sexist,

- homophobic. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You've got to be a little bit extreme to beat the algorithm.

- That's how these things work. - I know how it works.

Do ya?

Society has feminised you into thinking you need to be soft.

God gave men dominance for a reason.

Men are programmed to own, to conquer and to control.

Boys, success is not a dirty word. It's primal, yeah?

So stop being a pussy and wake the fuck up.

So what are you gonna do? You're gonna report me to HR because I follow the guy? No. I'm just saying, maybe you...

Shouldn't simp over an alt right freak at work.

So someone with millions of followers,

who's made a fortune off inspiring people is a freak, is he?

It's a pretty accurate description, yeah.

What are you smiling for? You follow him?

Yeah. I can respect his hustle without being a fan of the man.

But do you think he should be refused entry?

What business is it of the government

to decide who can and can't enter?

It's completely the government's business, which you all well know.

The Immigration Minister will make a decision in the next few hours.

And until then, your opinions of Mr Larsen aren't relevant.

Keep it professional. Treat him as you would any other passenger.

Oh, Vig's landed.

What were you saying?

Holders of Australian or New Zealand passports,

please wait in the queue on the far right.

Thank you. Straight through.

All other passport holders, wait in the queue on the left.

Please have your landing card and passport ready to show officers.

Can I get you to step to the side, please, sir.

Mr Larsen, Mira Ansari-Cole.

Yeah, what a surprise. What? Visa problems?

Yes. Actually, the minister suspended yours, unfortunately,

- while you were in the air. - Unfortunately?

You got a ticket for my tour, have you?

Unfortunately for you, Mr Larsen.

So what...

- Life is war!

Do you need me to take you to the lounge,

- where you can wait for an update. - No, I'm quite capable of following signs.. Mira. Mira.

Welcome to Australia.

I'm finally Down Under for my Life Is War tour,

down to our last few ticks.

But sad to say, may not happen now

because your government's gone and imprisoned me in the airport.

So get down here and show these soy boys you believe in freedom.

It's time to fucking rise.

No, no, don't post that.

It's not my first rodeo, Mira.

I post that, my supporters come down here.

Conversation gets louder.

Your minister looks bad.

Bam! Visa approved.

Your supporters aren't known for gathering peacefully, though, are they?

They're passionate.

Well, in Australia, the minister can refuse a visa

if the applicant is likely to incite discord.

It'd just be a shame for all of your passionate supporters

to miss out on your tour.

Nearly sold out, I hear, yeah?

Yes, of course. I've informed them and the team will make sure

there's absolutely no disruption to the terminal.

No.

Attention all passengers,

this is your final boarding call for flight 8023 to Launceston.

Please make your way to gate 14 immediately.

Mum, where are you?

Why are you on a tram, Mum?!

You're not going to the aquarium, Mum.

You've got to get off. OK.

I will take you to the aquarium.

I'll take you there on the weekend if you get off the tram.

Thank you. Thank you, Mum. I love you.

Hello. How can I help you today?

What? Know our place? Know our place?

Like with women?

Men died in wars, men built...

Just talk football, God, pray,

just whatever keeps him off his phone.

I'm not sure that he and I share the same God.

Mr Larsen is a passenger.

And last I checked, your job is to provide support to all passengers,

regardless of their beliefs.

Alpha males don't follow the herd.

They follow in God's footsteps.

So pull up your...

I didn't know airports had chaplains.

- Not all of them. - Yeah. I think it's brilliant.

You know, especially people going through their darkest hours and all.

Oh, it's not always about darkness.

- I welcome refugees. - Oh, yeah?

- I conduct weddings. - Oh, you must have a few stories.

- Right? - A few.

You'd go off on TikTok.

Or maybe a book's more your lane.

Instant bidding war, am I right?

Yeah, I've often thought about...

Because it's a gift to have a platform.

And I wouldn't say this to just anyone,

but I do feel that my reels are sermons sometimes.

But with a platform comes responsibility.

Yeah? And...

..your reels, to me, seem quite divisive.

OK.

I see why you think that.

But that's not what I'm doing.

I mean, what you promote could be seen as being

the opposite of Christian.

No. See, what I promote is discussion.

Because when ideas collide, people speak to each other.

Yeah? They argue with each other.

- We hope. - And what's the alternative?

Silencing half the population?

No. Christ believed in equality, didn't he?

Well, of course.

Not just giving preferential treatment to someone over another.

- No. - No.

Now, here we are.

You see, a man like you should be a leader of his community.

You should be getting the respect you deserve.

I saw you. I saw you with your boss.

She's got you acting like a beta.

There's a war going on, chaplain, and you're on the front line.

You need to step up.

That's not preaching violence.

Yeah?

That is understanding what your rightful place is.

And cue the complaints line.

I asked him to delete the post.

It's already been shared.

He followed up, telling them to stay calm, so fingers crossed.

How do you know that?

Oh, our eldest is a fan,

so I follow Viggo's accounts just to keep an eye.

We'll keep the AFP on them.

Shouldn't cause too much trouble, unless his visa is cancelled.

That won't be good...for the airport.

Keep 'em calm.

Troy Cameron.

Wait. What are you doing here? Tobias, I asked you to stay with him.

He's immune to babysitting, Mira.

He's a bigot who peddles religion like it's snake oil.

I just need you to keep him off his phone.

Well, aren't you too late?

I mean, look, he's a hate monger.

And walking away is the answer?

Can we clear a path, please, gents.

- You OK? - I don't need your help.

Well, clearly you did once.

Will you let people through, please.

OK.

So I'm an idiot for fucking everything up.

So shoot me.

Anthony, I'm at work.

It's over.

No violations.

Oh.

Well...

..what did they say?

Uh, that the women should have gone to HR before going to the media.

That's the policy.

So how could I have done anything about it if I didn't know?

Right.

We're finally free to live our lives again.

So you can come home now.

Anthony, you can't just snap your fingers

and expect everything to just go back to how it was.

- You sound disappointed. - No.

So you've never actually thought about what would happen

if I was cleared, have you?

You just decided that I was guilty already?

That's not fair.

So a tribunal can give me a second chance but you can't?

I actually can't have this conversation right now.

You never want to have this conversation.

I thought that you managing a workplace now

would give you some sympathy for how complicated it is.

My guys are paying badly, sure.

But I can't be held responsible for everything that my employees do.

Sorry. Sorry. I thought you didn't know what was going on.

Or did you not want to know because you didn't want to be responsible?

Which is it?

Mira...

So the DEI virus has spread Down Under.

That is a man of God right there,

being publicly diminished and silenced by a woman.

Power. It's not a dirty word. It's primal.

Stop being a little bitch and step into your power, your purpose.

- So a tribunal can give me a second chance but you can't? - Fix that, would you? - Fuck that. You need to rise up. Don't accept what society tells you. Take control. - Little bitch. - Wake the fuck up.

Take control.

Here comes the DEI bitch.

Oh, here we go.

I'd just like to inform you all

that Viggo Larsen's visa has been cancelled.

That won't do any good. I'm afraid the decision has been made.

So if you could please make your way out of the airport.

Calm down, yeah. We don't want to cause trouble.

We wouldn't want to incite discord in the airport, would we?

Fucking bitch.

Is that true?

Oh, here you are.

Whoops.

- Yo. - What?

Careful.

I told you to treat every bit of luggage like it's your mum.

Boss, you don't understand. This guy's a Nazi.

Well, you can't stoop to someone like that's level, right?

You know what, boss? This guy's even anti-union.

Do you know what he said?

He said that all strikes are for pussies.

- For pussies? - Yeah.

- Do you know what you're missing here? - No. Is that you've got to get a much harder swing...

Ho!

Nothing but respect for you, boss.

Mira.

What is going on down there?

Not sure.

I think they're just getting impatient.

Well, they won't be any more.

The minister's verdict just came down.

Viggo is cleared for entry.

I guess his Christian values outweighed his more...

..controversial opinions.

- It's terrific... - Hm.

Passengers from flight RE89...

..for the airport.

..please be advised that your bags will be available from carousel two.

Can we make sure that we're lifting properly, everyone.

Nice and cool down here now.

I've got my fans in.

You didn't need me after all, then.

No, I didn't need you after all. Good.

How's morale, though, after all the cuts?

You know that they're talking about automating domestic...

..just as a trial.

Most of us are distinctly fucked if we lose our jobs, to be honest.

I'll probably end up moving into the old quarantine offices with you.

Well, you'd be welcome.

It's lucky you can't automate a chaplain.

I don't know.

It might be better.

Look, even if I did accept a redundancy,

it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference

to all the rationalisations going on upstairs.

It's OK.

I do get it, mate.

Um...

Ever since my ex left and she took Sam and Theo, I...

I can't wait to get back to this shithole every fucking day.

I guess the job's all we've got

when we've fucked all our relationships.

This is the final boarding call for flight IL834 to Singapore.

Please make your way to gate 19 for immediate boarding.

Broke my fucking suitcase.

Colonial fucking backwater.

Big man having a toddler tantrum, eh?

It's only gonna get worse.

Sorry, sir. I'll get you to step over here, please.

What?

Just need you to pop your bag up for inspection.

Sorry, mate, there's no filming during a custom inspection.

Australian law.

- You're not having a stroke, are you? - Asha.

I judged you possibly unfairly, but when...

..probably I should have been judging myself...

..for falling for a ratbag like you.

You were pretty gullible. I'm not gonna lie.

OK.

But how about you... You don't do that to your family, yeah?

Go home, tell them the truth.

Might be surprised.

I might leave the bit about conning a priest out.

Yeah, wise.

Bye for now.

Come on.

# I can't help you

# As much as I'd like to

# As much as I think that I could... #

I'm really gonna miss your cooking.

Oh, don't you worry. I left you a couple of cans of beans.

# The things you don't do that you could... #

Thanks a million.

# I couldn't get hold of you

# You couldn't take words from a friend

# I didn't want it to end like this

# Oh, I won't get to bother you again

# Well, you won't see me around here anymore, my friend. #

Hey.

Tough day.

Yeah.

Can I buy you a knock-off drink?

It's on the airport.

Yeah. Yeah, actually. OK.

Despite his followers causing disruption at the airport,

the immigration minister has approved the controversial

alt right figure Viggo Larsen's visa.

Mr Larsen was, however, fined

for attempting to bring luxury goods over the duty limit...

- Johnnie. - To arseholes getting away with shit.

I thought he would have been on the first plane out of here

after your efforts.

Pretty impressive work from someone who loves rules so much.

I'm gonna take that as a compliment. Thank you.

So, Mira, you have a little girl who I think I saw the other day.

Uh, yeah, Lila. She's three.

My husband, Anthony, is still back in Hong Kong.

And he's not coming here?

No. He wants us back there.

He's worked his way up to partner at this big engineering firm.

Must be hard for you.

Is it gonna work out?

I don't know, to be honest.

It's complicated.

Like most marriages.

Uh, what about you?

Uh, does your wife know about your affair?

- What? - Sorry. I...

I saw you this morning with a woman. I just, I just, er...

- Oh, wow. - Sorry.

- Um... - No, no.

Uh, no, it's not an affair because my wife's dead.

- I'm so sorry. - No, no, it's alright.

- I just assumed... - 15 years ago. Car crash.

Well, the car flipped. She, um...

Yeah, she was killed. She died at the scene.

- Were you in the accident with her? - No, not me.

And it's not really an accident when, when...

..when someone causes it.

I'm so sorry.

I just thought, um...

..your wife threw you out and that's why you were sleeping in your office.

No, no.

No, I mean, there was someone who, uh,

um, someone who needed some help.

And so that's why I was, I was, um...

Tobias, please tell me the girl from the prayer room wasn't sleeping... Asha, yes. Well, she didn't have anywhere... No, stop. Don't tell me any more.

If I hear it, I'll have to act on it.

It's alright. She's on a plane to Dublin.

Do you have no concept of boundaries? Yeah.

Look, boundaries are like rules, Mira.

Sometimes it helps other people if we break them.

Isn't that what you did today?

Where's my shit?

Dan!

- Dan! - You alright?

I'm sorry, mate. I'm sorry.

Where are the kids?

My children are in a car with a strange man.

No knowledge of any of this can leak to terminal.

Please take your seat and stay calm.

If you had filled out a report, could we have prevented this?

There was nothing to report.

All I've ever wanted to do since I was four years old was to do this.

You get to decide whether you keep hiding

or whether you open up to what's outside.
