Zebrarummet (2021) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Quickly!
Bloody hell.
It's not open.
There.
-I've got lessons now, I can't
-Do you know, Benno
why worms are used as bait
for angling?
-No idea.
-No.
They are compliant.
When you
put the hook through them
they kind of give in straight away.
Remember that.
Take a seat, please.
Have you been away for so long you've
forgotten how to behave? Silence.
Silence, please.
Thank you.
Right. Who's absent today?
Hugo, Robin and William. Anyone else?
Did all the pissheads
get together yesterday?
That must count as
authorised absence.
Right.
Some of you may have heard rumours,
so I thought I'd preempt those.
The police have found a body
in Holmered's town centre.
In the water, by the mill.
Yes, Joacim?
Is it someone from Holmered school?
I don't know any details.
You're probably wondering
what's happened?
Drowning accidents in Sweden usually
involve alcohol or drug consumption.
Unless it's a small child, of course.
Now, if we could put
all speculations aside
and just focus. Okay? Great.
Let's carry on.
-Hi.
-Hello.
As if a hangover wasn't enough.
Didn't Isaac wear a dinner jacket
to the party yesterday?
Hello?
What? Yes.
Shit. I'll call Rodde.
Hello.
Have you heard from Isaac?
Get in touch if you hear something.
Great, thanks.
I've got to go to work.
-Is that okay?
-Sure.
Right, I'll see you at Vallen.
Put your phones away, please.
You're wondering what's happened,
but it's most likely an accident.
-Sure.
-We all know what Holmered is like.
Also,
this really doesn't concern you.
Sebastian, sit down, please.
Sit down, please.
The police are here.
Hugo.
Hugo!
Hugo!
Wake up, for fuck's sake.
You bloody arsehole, Carnebo.
I got worried
when I didn't see you in class.
Oh, god.
You're scaring me, Philip.
It seems like something has happened.
The police are here.
Rolf pointed out that you,
William and Robin were absent.
Come on, let's go.
Fuck.
What the hell?
Good morning.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
Hi, girls.
Coffee, please.
-I can't get hold of Isaac.
-No?
He doesn't even reply to my texts.
He's always doing this.
Just give him a bit of time, maybe.
I know he went to a party yesterday.
As soon as it gets serious, he's off.
-Sara, your coffee.
-Thanks.
I'll help you.
I'll see if I can get hold of him.
You know they've found someone
in the river?
You go to your lesson now.
-Hello.
-Hi.
-Where are you going?
-We're seeing the headmaster. Come.
Fuck me, it's hot in here.
Glad you're alive. How are you?
Stop it. I really can't take
-I asked how you are, you wally.
-Have you seen Robin?
-Have you seen Robin?
-I haven't left my room.
No, we can tell by the smell.
-Gross, what have you been doing?
-Shut up, William.
Come on, pull yourself together.
The police are here.
Come on!
The police?
Ah, it fucking stinks in here. Here,
have some of Zlatan's deodorant.
What are you talking about?
Shut up and put your trousers on.
The police are here.
There's a fucking arsehole stench
in here.
-Have you puked in your room?
-Yes.
-Fucking hell.
-Come out when you're dressed.
-Were you there yesterday?
-Shut up.
Hey, Jocke!
The pupil's room
is here on the right.
Robin Nyman has only been here
for one term.
Might be good to know.
Thank you.
No one is allowed to enter this room.
It's to be regarded as a crime scene.
-Carl?
-How bad is it?
I'll handle this.
-Who was it?
-It was some initiation thing.
Which one of our pupils is dead?
Robin Nyman. Kenneth Nyman's son.
Bloody hell.
Do you know what happened?
Was it an accident?
There is no suspicion of a crime.
Anything could have happened.
Have you spoken to the father
and the family?
The police have notified them.
I know I should have spoken to them.
I just haven't had the time.
This will be a major headache.
What the hell do we do?
I thought of writing a press release.
-No, don't.
-It could be misinterpreted.
Sometimes it's best
to say as little as possible.
Right.
If anyone needs to talk about what's
happened, my door is always open.
For Robin.
There will be no more lessons today.
We will let you know more
after the police investigation.
If you want to leave flowers
or a message to Robin's family,
can do so at the headmaster's office.
Sasha.
Lessons will continue
as usual tomorrow.
We will give you more information
about the competition later.
Caroline.
What happened to William?
He couldn't stick around.
Meet me in ten minutes.
We have done this successfully
in Dubai and Toronto.
So it's not a question of
how we do it,
but rather how we do it
in the most effective way.
Our company has more than
100 satisfied customers,
who now own real estate that we
have completed to their satisfaction.
Buildings that are boosting their
rental revenue every single day.
Are you ready to join them?
-Can I help you?
-No, no, carry on.
Please.
Remember,
opportunities don't just happen.
You create them, right?
Is that opportunities don't happen,
you create them?
Yes, that's right.
Hey, thank you.
Thank you very much,
Charles Chip White.
A round of applause, please.
Very good. Thanks a lot.
What our little American friend
is trying to do
is to make you make the same mistakes
as his previous clients
in Dubai and Toronto.
He's trying to tempt you
into this deal with special offers.
As the building project becomes more
costly, you have to contribute more
simply to rescue
your original investment.
This is the oldest trick in the book.
You can see through this.
As Charles Chip White
exists the stage
he will be calling his boss
in the States
and refer to you as "dumb capital".
This is the problem.
Because you're not.
I know that.
Yes, we will have to deal with that.
They face big challenges. Many
languages are spoken at this school.
What are we talking about?
We're talking about this death.
Okay, but then
you're at the wrong school, surely?
We've been to Tuna Kvarn,
but weren't allowed in.
Isn't that the problem then? Not that
we have mulitlingual pupils here.
We don't know anything
about this death.
You're presuming a connection
with our school.
-We're not making assumptions.
-What then?
-We're just doing our job.
-Okay.
There are more pupils at Tuna Kvarn
involved in crime than here.
Only they are protected and my pupils
are not. Remove your cameras.
-We're trying to do our job.
-Get a drone and go to Tuna Kvarn.
-Well done, Sara.
-Great!
I know most of you in here
since student days, as colleagues,
Bengt-Olof and Anette,
thanks for the other day.
For those of you who don't know me,
my name is Carl.
In contrast to our American friend,
I can't flee the stage,
put my head in the sand and escape
the country if things go to pot.
I will stay with you, all the way.
And you know that.
If Cerebros Alecto is allowed to
build Crystal Point Tower,
your investments
will pay off big time.
We will have northern Europe's
tallest skyscraper
with the highest profit
in northern Europe.
This is no bullshit.
Or in words
that everyone understands:
This is not bullshit, Chip.
Thank you.
William really needs to calm down.
This makes me really fucking worried.
What might have happened?
Either it was an accident, maybe he
was balancing on the bridge railing.
-Balancing?
-Shut up.
It must have been
Fuck, I don't know.
He was weak.
Do you mean he took his own life?
If my dad was a casino king
I would also have killed myself.
We need a plan, no matter what.
None of this must be connected
with Zebra or Tuna Kvarn.
Switch the light on, Philip.
It's depressingly dark in here.
I don't think
you need to worry about this.
If we don't have a plan,
we do need to worry. We need a plan.
What's this bloody mess? I thought
she was going to clean in here.
-It stinks in here.
-That doesn't help.
Hey.
-What?
-Look.
Shit.
Look.
No, you're joking.
Who's stupid enough to film?
It's a tradition. It's a game.
No one will understand that.
Who's put that up? What does it say?
It doesn't say anything.
-Grace.
-Mhm.
-Hello?
-Yes?
Ow. Stop it, please.
Just lie still and take it.
-What's that?
-It's a disgusting film.
-From here, I think.
-What room is that?
This is the angle.
Let me see.
Robin must have filmed.
But Robin is dead. How could he
put up a fucking Youtube video?
Who could be that bloody stupid?
It doesn't matter who filmed.
It will come back to us.
Fuck.
What if it wasn't suicide,
or an accident?
It could have been
one of the gangs from Holmered.
Who might have robbed him?
It went a bit far.
-That wouldn't be too odd.
-No.
Robin met Isaac.
That could work.
I think it would work well.
Aren't we pushing things a bit here?
We know him a bit.
We don't know him.
-He gives you drugs.
-But still.
Do you want them
to come asking about this video?
Obviously not.
Do you want questions
about the coke stash in your room?
-Please.
-You need Zebra more than we do.
Will your parents give you
another chance if they see the video?
Stop it?
Your grades are useless.
And so are your work ethics.
Have you seen this?
-Nasim, have you seen this?
-What?
Lie still and take it.
Open your mouth.
No. No!
Just take it away.
I'm going to be sick.
I mean
Hi.
Sorry, I haven't had time
to book an appointment yet.
-I will do it, I promise.
-Thanks a lot.
-Do you want me to come with you?
-Yes, please.
I will do.
Have you seen the films from Tuna?
They're totally sick.
-What is it?
-It's like an assault.
The travel budget
has been reduced to zero.
They're cutting back on everything.
-Could I have a top up, please?
-Of course.
-There you go.
-Thank you.
No, it's completely insane.
I've got to get on with some work.
Okay. Bye.

SEXUAL ABUSE
Hello.
-Hi, Sara.
-God, so much stuff.
I can't stay
and help out today, but
Thank you. I was about to say
you're far too generous.
-But that's not possible.
-Nope.
Have you got any news about Fawad?
Can he stay?
We're appealing the decision.
He's lived in Sweden
for most of his life.
I'll have to get a picture of you.
You look lovely.
Wait.
-Should I wear glasses?
-Why not?
They look nice. Now, smile. Cheese.
WORST SCHOOL SCANDAL
OF MODERN TIME
REPORTS OF PENNALISM
ABUSE
Are you not at the wrong school?
That's the problem, not that
our pupils are multilingual.
There are more pupils at Tuna Kvarn
involved in crime than here.
So have you appealed?
We are going to appeal.
But that's really annoying.
They've missed some important dates.
I mean the old lawyer.
Have you got the address for him?
Let me check.
Remove your cameras.
-We're doing our job.
-Get a drone and go to Tuna Kvarn.
SARA BODEN TELLS IT LIKE IT IS
Hello. You have a new message.
Hi, Annika Beijbom
calling from "Opinions Live" on TV.
I've seen some clips of you
on social media.
We're doing a special on Tuna Kvarn
and would like you as a guest.
Give me a call on 0708 623872.
-Amaya.
-Hi, what are you up to?
Something totally sick
has just happened.
They called me from TV to ask me
to appear on a debating show.
Are you joking? I just saw your clip.
Awesome!
But I can't go on TV.
Of course you have to do it.
You're always talking about this.
What should I say?
Talk about the stuff in the clip.
It was brilliant.
It's tonight. I need to call them,
as it may be too late.
Do you realise how many
will be watching? Like tons.
-I'll get so nervous.
-Come on, Sara.
Why do they call me?
Oh, shit. Hang on.
-What's going on?
-Hang on. Oh my god!
-What are you doing?
-Oh, god. Hello, are you there?
I'm here.
I just went past a police control
without my seatbelt on.
Call them now
and say that you're coming.
You're passionate about this.
You can make a difference.
Programmes like that don't change
anything. It's just entertainment.
I've not had a chance to talk
to the father, Kenneth Nyman.
And I will call
the schools' inspectorate.
I gathered the pupils.
-You gathered the pupils.
-Yes.
Well done for doing that.
What did the police say?
They didn't say much.
They closed off pupil Nyman's room
and said they'd be in touch.
I got a feeling they thought
it could be gang related.
That he was just very unfortunate.
Wrong place, wrong time.
I mean this video that emerged
Maybe I'm a bit stupid,
but I'm thinking
it should not have been released.
No, of course not.
It already has over 86 000 views.
Surely it's not that bad.
They're at an age
when they will experiment.
It looks worse than it is.
I've had lots of emails and calls
from the press.
I've declined to comment,
but will issue a written statement.
I've also had something
from Opinions Live.
I definitely turned them down.
You definitely agreed.
Be careful. It's strong.
Thanks, man.
We'll be going soon. Are you coming?
I'm just going to check something.
It's going to be a sunny day
in the Stockholm region.
Later in the day
rain will be moving east.
Increasingly heavy rainfall
can be expected.
Looking ahead to tomorrow,
the weather will be similar,
but along the coasts,
there is a possibility of sunshine.
Now we're going straight to the
debating show Opinions Live.
Welcome to tonight's debate.
Following the death
of a pupil at Tuna Kvarn,
we'll be asking if boarding schools
have a place in our
Have you ever
rolled a spliff in coke?
It makes you crazy high. No joke.
You roll it, lick it and roll it
in some coke, light it and
from boarding school Tuna Kvarn.
What do you think, Jens?
I think it's peculiar
that such elite schools
are still around in this day and age.
Just fucking look at him.
To consider our school
an elite school
-And check out his necklace.
-Bloody goggle tan.
welcome to apply.
But with fees of 300 000 kronor,
you can't be saying that
the school is accessible to all?
If you're bright enough
you can get a scholarship.
The costs lie in
board and accommodation.
So lobster and oysters every day?
-Why is our food so yucky?
-Don't know.
Tuna Kvarn fits as well into modern
life as the monarchy,
but of course you teach your pupils
that they are society's royals.
So that's fitting.
Jörn Jonsson grew up at a stately
home, typical Palme socialist.
I hate people like that.
Was he a prime minister?
You're so sexy, Nathalie.
Yes, he was a prime minister. He grew
up next to the Colombian embassy.
I thought you were
the Colombian embassy.
No, Jamaica today.
"My brother."
I don't understand
why Palme became a communist.
So, Elisabeth, how are you going to
deal with the problems at Tuna Kvarn?
We're going to carry out
an internal investigation.
That's not enough.
You're blaming
the violence at your school
on vulnerable, disadvantaged groups.
What do you say, Elisabeth?
Over the years we have educated
How can you, as the headmistress
of this school, Elisabeth,
take it so lightly that
one of your pupils is dead?
What's happened is of course awful
and terribly tragic,
but it's important
to keep things separated.
Unfortunately, there is a lot
of criminality and gang violence
in the area around Tuna Kvarn.
Everything indicates that the
deceased pupil fell victim of this.
There's no evidence of that.
We have seen video evidence of how
your pupils are oppressed and harmed
because of ancient traditions
that allow pennalism and abuse.
That's been proven.
This is Sara Bodén,
an applause for her.
You teach at Holmered school.
-I'm a counsellor.
-Counsellor, sorry.
You're a counsellor
at Holmered school,
a normal state school.
What are your pupils reaction
to what's happened at Tuna Kvarn?
They wonder, like the rest of us,
how this could happen.
-Fuck!
-Can you just cool it a bit?
You don't smoke in here.
So, Elisabeth, what do you think
of the film from Tuna Kvarn?
I have no comments.
I haven't seen the film.
-Bullshit.
-Like I said, we've started
-Of course you've seen it.
-No, I haven't.
I can tell those of you
who haven't seen it
that one of your pupils is subjected
to what is clearly abuse,
under the pretext
that it's peer education.
In fact you're just teaching the
pupils hierarchic power structures.
Those at the top can do what
they want, take what they want
and abuse those
below them in society.
-Can they?
-It starts in your school.
Great, Sara.
Tuna Kvarn is not
your average school.
It's a social network
that ensures that
the money and the power
stays with a tiny elite.
A few privileged families.
It is a power structure of new
and old pupils that perpetuates this.
What does she look like
in the leopard print.
How can you dress like that
to appear on TV?
At our school we're proud.
We are proud of the closeness
and sense of community we feel.
We have educated
successful business leaders.
Our school works like this.
We encourage them
to aim higher in society.
Is that wrong?
Successful business leaders
who have attended our school
-I'm talking, love.
-What, "love"?
-Carl?
-Are you watching the debate?
Yes. How are you doing?
I'm fine.
Just trying to make this go away.
Things like this tend to blow over.
Yes,
but it is mighty blowy right now.
A dead pupil and a nouveau riche
father who won't shut up.
It has been suggested that
Tuna Kvarn is investigated
both for pennalism and bullying.
Could you speak to Björn Ekstedt?
See if he will give an interview and
put the school in a positive light.
And talk about life as a pupil here.
Isn't it better to go via Gabriel? He
will be elected to the supreme court.
But everyone loves Björn.
That's true. I'll check with Björn.
There may be some additional costs.
We probably need a new lawyer.
Can't you check with the lawyers
at the ministry
if anyone there is available?
I'll deal with it.
I have done some research.
Among Tuna Kvarn's alumni
are three princes,
60 counts and 82 barons.
What's your take on that, Elisabeth?
Naturally, we strive for equality,
also in a socioeconomic sense.
That's obvious.
Your pupils come from
the most affluent areas
castles and stately homes.
No normal pupils have a chance
to attend your school.
Tuna Kvarn is a cult
that runs most of our society.
She's good.
-Who?
-The teacher.
She's a counsellor, isn't she?
You can try to move the focus
to criminality in the suburbs,
which is unsavoury, since the abuse
has taken place at your school.
-What do you say, Elisabeth?
-Thanks, Claire.
I know that you're aware
that what you're defending is wrong.
You're helping to build a society
that's increasingly unequal,
driven by elitism,
pennalism and violence.
-Carl?
-Are you watching the debate, Sasha?
Yes, I'm watching it now.
That counsellor, with that hair
Do you want me to check her out?
-I'll do that.
-Thanks.
Dear viewers, dear audience.
Thank you, Sara Bodén
from Holmered school.
Police!
Show us your hands!
Go, go, go!
Stay like that.
-Hey, what the hell?
-Lie down.
Of course you go for me.
Ow! Why the fuck do you go for me?
You just go for the first black guy.
Fucking ow!
Fuck you!
