The Airport Chaplain (2026) s01e06 Episode Script

1
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.
