Episode 1

Sebastian, you have to get some.
Come on! How long has it been since you last got some? - A week.
- You can't be serious.
Why can't you accept what we are? Why don't you just want to feel good? I just want to be normal, Sofie.
Normal like when we were kids? - You know what I mean.
- Yes, I do.
You want to be like all the people who buy their food nicely wrapped so they don't have to think about the fact that others killed for them.
Don't be a hypocrite.
What we have is a gift.
I can't control it.
Then let me do it.
No, Sebastian! Stop! Stop! You'll kill him! Stop! Why didn't you stop? Sebastian! - I couldn't control it.
- It's OK.
- It's OK.
- I couldn't control it.
We have to get outta here.
He's dead, Sofie.
Don't you care? - Well? - No.
He was food, and you were hungry.
We should go.
We have to find out what we are.
And why.
We can't live like this.
You have to help me, Sofie.
Please? I can't do it without you.
OK.
It's good to see you again.
You've grown.
Help yourselves.
You haven't touched them.
I haven't seen you since you were 12 and ran away.
It's nice to be back.
We liked it here.
When we came here, who brought us in? Your mother brought you here.
You were only a few weeks old.
She wouldn't reveal her name.
You look like her.
Did she do or say anything when she brought us here? She said she had to do something, and that if all went well, she'd come back for you.
She never came.
She wasn't well.
I think she was a drug addict.
Not much older than the two of you.
Do you remember anything else? Yes.
I remember she had a tattoo of a heart on her wrist.
Yeah? - Can you recall what it looked like? - Yes.
I'll draw it for you.
- That's great.
- Just a moment - No, it's fine.
- Let me have a look.
- It's fine, Sebastian.
Let's go.
- Do you want your mum's bag? Yes, that would be great, if you have it.
Must have been yours.
There's nothing here, Sebastian.
We've both been through it now.
Maybe underneath the bottom? I found something.
It's 20 years old.
It's from when we came here.
It says "250th anniversary of Ottman's Boarding School".
- Oh, my, how incredibly exciting.
- She must have gone straight there.
- What would she want there? - How the hell should I know? It's our only lead.
- Give it a chance.
Come on.
- OK! Take this.
"Ottman's Boarding School".
Come here.
I have something for you.
Come here.
How pretty it is.
Christian? Who's she? You must look proper when the new students meet you.
We set the standard.
- How is your tie, Frederik? - My tie is perfect.
Now it's perfect.
Pieter.
All first-year students will go to the dorms on the first floor.
Off you go.
- Are we missing anyone? - Yes.
Two second-year students who will take Kasper and Amalie's places.
Sofie and Sebastian Nielsen.
They're twins.
Nielsen How common.
Good work, Pieter.
- How long do we have to stay? - I don't know.
Do you sense it, too? There's something about this place.
All I can sense is algebra, essays, and, "Sofie, what did you do this summer?" "I saw my brother incinerate an innocent man.
" It was a joke! But what are we doing here? We're keeping our mouths shut and our heads down.
We're here to find out what happened to our mum, OK? Fine.
Sofie, control yourself.
I'm not the one who can't control it.
We're in this together, don't you get that? I said "fine", didn't I? Hello.
- Hello.
- Ditlev Hartvig.
Sofie.
Is that your brother? Yes.
He's having his period.
- Ditlev.
- Sebastian.
I'm the prefect here together with Frederik and Pieter.
Pieter Stockmann.
We're roommates.
- Ready for the grand tour? - Yes, of course.
Join us.
The school is 270 years old.
We have traditions and rituals, and our motto is Scientia Potentia est.
What does it mean? Don't you know your Latin? - It means "knowledge is power".
- Exactly.
- Nice coat of arms.
- The coat of arms of the Just family.
An owl and a snake represent wisdom and resourcefulness.
- And the sword? - We enjoy fencing.
We hope you do, too.
But don't worry.
I'm a good teacher.
This school has a proud fencing tradition.
Thorkild Just founded the school and its traditions.
His great-great-great-great-grandchild Henrik Just is headmaster.
We don't tolerate absence from class, and assignments are done on time.
- Alcohol and drugs get you expelled.
- And yet you still have students.
Girls and boys are separated.
The girls in the west wing and the boys in the east wing.
You must be in your wing at 9:00 p.
m.
, and it's lights out at 11:00 p.
m.
If you break the rules, you'll have me to answer to.
- Understood? - Yes, completely.
Yes.
Good.
You may go to your rooms.
Hi.
Welcome.
Nadja.
Sofie.
Your bed.
Yes, they left you 10 pairs of briefs that you must wear.
I mean underpants.
Panties with the school's coat of arms.
What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? I like your hair.
Thanks.
This side of the room is mine.
You will stay on your half.
- At all times.
- OK.
No exceptions.
- You like weapons, huh? - Doesn't everyone? At least I'm being honest about it.
OK, I have my own special interests, so As long as I don't have to hear about it, we'll be just fine.
Have you had many roommates? Yes.
A few.
Respect the line.
OK.
- Ott man! - Ott man! - Ott man! Ottman! Ottman! Ottman! Ottman! Ottman! Ottman! Thank you! Welcome to a new semester at Ottman's Boarding School.
I hope you've had a blessed summer and that you're well-rested and eager for a busy fall with lots of learning here at our fine school.
And a heartfelt welcome to our new students.
I hope you will be happy, fulfilled and educated, just like everyone else here for the past 270 years.
- Scientia Potentia est.
- Scientia Potentia est.
And I think we should cheer for the fact that today it's been 25 years since we opened our doors to the stronger sex.
Thank you.
So Now I would like to yield the floor to one of our wonderful teachers, Miriam, who has a sad announcement.
Miriam? Hi.
It's good to see you all again.
Welcome to our new students.
This past summer didn't just bring joy and happiness.
It also brought sadness and grief.
Two of our students were killed in a traffic accident where their car burnt up.
Kasper Røndtved and Amalie Kirk.
They live on in our hearts.
Let's have a moment of silence in their honour.
You were the one who wanted to come to this school.
Who are they? The untouchables.
Headmaster Just's daughters.
Ida is the oldest, and then comes Emilie and Clara.
Why are they untouchable? Headmaster Just doesn't want his daughters to be around us students.
But Emilie's in our class, so you'll get to meet her.
OK.
- What are you doing? - I know why our mum was here.
You can see it if you hold it against the light.
- Gertrud.
- She was looking for her.
- Who's Gertrud? - That's what we have to find out.
Sebastian, in our relationship, are you Sherlock Holmes or Dr Watson? I think I'm both.
You can be the Hound of the Baskervilles.
The Hound of the Baskervilles ate people.
And I'm hungry.
Hi.
Do you like the school? Lt'll grow on you yet.
You're a bit weird, aren't you? I'm happy you came here.
I mean it.
What's your problem? What's your problem? What the hell is your problem? Eat your dinner.
Why? Because it's the normal thing to do.
But we're not normal, Sebastian.
Here you go.
Enjoy.
And some for you.
Eat.
This is not my food.
And it isn't yours, either.
Sofie, keep it under control! Do you hear me? Then get me some.
Oh, hell Sofie! Sofie, what are you doing? Stop it! I found a place where we can eat.
Come on.
- You're not coming? - No.
- You just expect me to do it? - Go on in, damn it.
Please? - You're a coward.
- Give me a break.
Hi.
May I help you? Nah, just browsing.
- I'd like to buy this.
- That'll be 27.
95 kroner.
- 27.
95 kroner? - Yes.
I left my purse at home.
- Well, then You can't buy it.
- I can't? No, you can't.
Perhaps I could pay for it with a kiss? Yes - Sounds good.
- It's OK? Yes.
Yes - Be right there.
- Yes.
- Is he dead? - Of course not.
Go.
Let's go, Sebastian.
Give me some.
- No.
- Come on.
Give me some.
- You couldn't even come in with me.
- Give me some.
- You're so - Give me some.
No.
Don't do it.
- Sebastian, come on! - No, hang on.
Look.
Look at what? The windows.
It's the heart from the drawing.
What drawing? Kirsten from the orphanage.
Hello? It's the one Mum had on her wrist.
- Who the hell is that lady? - I have no idea.
- She's pregnant.
- Or maybe she's just chubby.
Come on, Sebastian.
Can't you tell time? Or is it that you don't care about the rules? You're not to leave the dorms after 11:00 p.
m.
We just wanted some fresh air.
- Come.
- Why? Because I told you to.
OK.
Fine.
Where were you? At the gas station.
We wanted some candy.
- Stay.
- What the hell are you doing? - Stay! - Sebastian! Thank you, Pieter.
Stop lying.
What have you been up to? OK, we didn't go to the gas station to get candy.
What? We went there for snacks.
- Hold her down.
- What are you doing? What the hell are you doing here? - You shouldn't be here.
- And you should? My family has attended this school for five generations.
That explains it, Ditlev.
What are you talking about? If you're fifth generation, your dad, granddad, great-granddad, and great-great granddad went here when it was boys only.
They must have gotten so much cock in their tight little assholes that a latent form of homosexuality has been passed on to you.
- And now my brother's the target.
- Shut up! Ditlev, control yourself.
For your own sake.
Are you threatening me? Are you threatening me? Hold him.
You're dead, man.
Ditlev.
Let them go.
Throw them out.
Throw them out! Let's go, Sofie.
Don't ever interrupt when I'm disciplining students.
Do you hear me? Get lost.
Get lost! Thank you.
I'm always by your side, Ditlev.
You know that.
- You're a good kid, Pieter.
- Thank you.
Stop wagging your tail at me like a little dog.
- It's pathetic.
- I'm sorry.
Sorry And stop apologising.
You have to let me do something about Ditlev.
I can't stop myself.
Well, you have to.
Do you hear me? How else are we going to find out why we are and what we are? There must be something in the headmaster's office.
Look at this.
Plié, plié, stop! - Suck her! - I don't want to.
I don't care! I'm dying! Why are you looking at me like that? - I found out who Gertrud is.
- A witch.
- Ottman! Ottman! - Afraid?
