A NETFLIX SERIES
Ah, splendid. The Crown Prince
has a phone call in my office.
- Is it my mother?
- Yes, that's correct.
Tell her that I'm busy.
The Queen has asked for you
on several occasions.
Mmm ♪
- Huh?
- The Queen has asked for you many times.
Uh, you can tell her
I have nothing more to say.
If you'll excuse me
Our days ♪
Live long and merry ♪
Live long and merry
For a hundred years ♪
A life long and merry, a life ♪
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
- Woohoo! You get to make a wish!
- And happy birthday.
- How does it feel to be 17?
- Thanks. I'm actually turning 18.
- What?!
- Are you kidding?
- Had to repeat a year when I was younger.
- Oh, my God. Wait. You can go clubbing.
- And you can buy cigarettes for me.
- Oh, my God.
You're an adult.
You're allowed to vote now.
- Come on. You serious? Stop.
- Wow!
Well, if I hadn't been an adult,
I wouldn't have been allowed to move here.
My mom wanted me and Simon
to drop out after his s-sex video.
- Eh
- Yeah.
- All right, well
- Okay, time to open your present.
How exciting.
If you don't like it,
we have the receipt. You can exchange it.
Oh.
But
These these are crazy expensive.
I can't accept this. It's too expensive.
- No.
- Don't be silly. It wasn't a problem.
- We got it together.
- Really.
Every time it's someone's birthday,
we all pitch in a couple hundred, then we
- We buy a little something.
- Don't worry. It's a tradition.
- Yeah. It's the same for everyone.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
- Well
- Thanks!
- You're welcome.
- You're welcome.
- Your ass in these pants
- You have no idea.
- There is a difference.
- You ride better when you feel pretty.
- Yep. True.
MEET SARA @ 10!
Happy birthday to you! ♪
Happy birthday to you! ♪
Happy birthday, dear Sara! ♪
- Happy birthday to you! ♪
- Thanks.
Come. Come on.
I have to show you something.
- This is from me and Mom.
- Mm.
Uh The website said
that these ones are the best.
And then Mom is gonna make pabellón
for tonight.
I can't tonight.
We're celebrating at the Manor House,
with a pajama party.
Huh.
Wow.
- New jodhpurs.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, I already got a pair
from the girls,
and they're an even better brand.
But, hey, maybe we could return them,
and then I could get the money.
Everything's so freakin'
expensive here, so
- They don't get that I I can't afford
- Yo!
- Hey!
- Look who I got here! Come here.
- Happy birthday, Sara!
- Happy birthday, Sara!
Mm. Thank you, guys.
What happened at karaoke place?
Are you gonna see each other again?
Uh Nah. I mean, it's
He wanted to watch a movie this week,
but we'll see.
Okay, we all know
what a movie means, right?
- Action!
- Right. Action.
You go there, Netflix and chill,
and then, poof! Wille, who?
You guys are insane.
Okay, we'll talk later.
- Hello!
- Bye.
- Marcus?
- Mm-hmm.
Are you gonna sleep with Marcus?
- Come on, Sara
- Come on, what?
I think it's great.
I mean, at least he doesn't need
to be rescued all the time.
Get down.
- Stop it. Go for a shower.
- Easy. Easy.
Come on, Simon!
Go! Nice!
And switch!
Over here! I'm here, I'm here!
Wille, here!
Wille! Wille, here!
- Here!
- Walter!
Come on!
This is completely insane.
There's no structure anymore.
Rules and hierarchies exist
because they work, you know?
What's this? Why is there a queue?
Well, apparently the first-years think
they're allowed to use our showers now.
The fuck?
I get that you wanna be
on good terms with the Prince,
but there has to be a goddamn limit.
He has no respect for you.
What's up?
- Is there a problem?
- Yeah.
Okay, what?
You have no right to be on our floor,
and you have absolutely no right
to use our showers.
- I'll take a shower later.
- What the hell, August?
Hey, I mean
if you're not happy with him,
just pick someone else then.
And change prefect?
Nah, that's impossible.
Really? Why's that?
Uh, well, because this is his passion.
You'd get more votes than him.
See ya.
- Hi.
- Sara, sit with me.
No, I have to sit with Felice.
She forgot her math book.
Okay to sit here? All the seats are taken.
Mm-hmm.
I thought maybe you wanted that space
you enjoy so much.
I'm just trying to be honest
about my feelings.
Maybe you should try it sometime.
Well, good afternoon.
Good afternoon, Mr. Englund.
Please be seated.
Today, we are going to talk
about exponential functions.
Now let's open our books to page
Let's see, uh
To page, uh 134.
Yes?
Could the Crown Prince
please come with us?
You may bring your, uh, belongings.
Right away. It's urgent.
Very well. Let's continue.
It's been an honor
to have you here at our school.
We're leaving in 15.
Jan-Olof, what's going on?
I don't understand.
The Queen would have picked you up herself
if her Her Majesty wasn't sitting
on a plane at the moment.
Why am I leaving?
You can't call and issue threats
against the Royal Family
without realizing there'd be consequences.
- Now let's go pack your bags.
- When am I coming back?
FELICE: WILHELM WRITES
THEY'RE GOING TO FOREST RIDGE TO PACK.
SIMON: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, PACK?
FELICE: THEY ARE FORCING HIM
TO LEAVE HILLERSKA!
Felice.
Felice!
You know the rules. No phones.
You can come up here and leave it with me.
You'll get it back
at the end of the day.
Simon?
May I please go to the bathroom, sir?
You may.
Okay.
The Crown Prince may only pack
his essentials.
We'll send for the rest later.
Now, let's see. Where are your bags?
Crown Prince?
We need to hurry this along.
What's going on?
Is he leaving?
I mean, it's not a bad idea
that he goes home.
He hasn't been feeling all that well.
It's probably best for everyone.
- Crown Prince
- I'm not going anywhere.
Well, that's not your decision to make.
You can't force me.
Here's what I think we should do.
We go back to the castle
and wait for the Queen,
and then we can continue
this discussion there.
No, I'm staying.
Malin, would you please?
Let's shut the door.
Don't touch me! I'll scream.
I said, don't touch me! I'm not leaving!
- No, I'm not leaving!
- Please.
- Let me go! No!
- Let go of the desk! Come on!
You know that Mom
and Dad are just worried, right?
I know they wish
that I was a better backup.
That's not true.
Sure.
Do you remember this one?
Yeah, Grandpa gave it to you.
Anyway, I was thinking you,
uh, could have it.
Thanks, Erik.
At least you don't have to
be the Crown Prince.
Crown Prince
talk to your mother.
Wilhelm?
You embarrassed me
in front of the whole school.
No, come on, Wilhelm.
You have to realize there will be
reactions when you threaten us.
Threaten? I told you how I felt.
You have to understand that the entire
Royal Court wants to pull the brake.
Listen, you know very well
that Jan-Olof's only called in
when it's absolutely necessary,
and now it is.
You've gone too far.
I know that you're grieving,
and we all are,
but you can't just act irrational
and so impulsive.
You call and ramble on incoherently
about Simon having been on a date and
You said
that I could never see him again.
Oh, please
Your father and I love you
just the way you are, Wilhelm.
You not being allowed to see him
was because of the video
so that you wouldn't be
adding fuel to the fire.
Yeah, but you made me lie.
Now if you are the
the first one in our family
to choose to live
in an unconventional relationship,
then I want it to come out
on your own terms,
not because somebody forces it out of you.
Okay. I don't understand what you mean.
What I mean is, you aren't mature enough
to make that decision yet.
When you're 18 and of age,
then we can discuss this.
We can make a
well, a plan for the future.
Honey, it's about acceptance and patience.
Erik wasn't open
about his relationships either.
We have to be careful
who we choose to keep close,
and they have to accept the situation.
I don't wanna leave Hillerska.
It would be a misconduct if I didn't act
when you expressed yourself in such a way.
Please, why can't you just be
my mother right now? Please.
I want you to see a psychologist,
and learn to manage
these emotional outbursts.
That's my condition for letting you stay.
It also involves you taking your role
as Crown Prince a lot more seriously,
and that you give the speech
at the 120th anniversary.
That is non-negotiable.
Okay, on one condition.
I want you to remove the bodyguards.
No, you know I can't do that.
It's a security matter.
What's the threat?
We're in the middle of the forest.
- Right now, you are the threat.
- Well, sorry. It's non-negotiable.
Okay.
- What's going on?
- Where have you been?
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm staying.
Yeah! Wille! My boy!
- What are you guys doing?
- The show's over. Chop, chop.
What's happened?
Come on! Fifteen seconds left!
Max it out now!
Faster, faster!
Give it all you've fucking got!
I said max it out!
Haven't you been training at all
during the holidays?
Huh?
I can honestly say that, right now,
none of you deserve to be on the team.
If we wanna have a chance
of beating Sprucewood,
we have to give it all we got.
This isn't good enough. Next!
One minute, max speed!
On your marks, get set, go!
Are we seriously not gonna talk anymore?
I don't understand
how you can just not care.
And after today,
how can you just shut down?
What do you mean, not care?
I went to the principal to help you,
but she just ignored me.
And now, I'll get detention
because I missed my class.
Okay, sorry. I didn't know that.
Thank you.
Now you know.
So, what happened?
I talked to my mom, and I told her
that I can't be king or prince
if I can't be allowed to be who I am.
That's why they came, to take me away,
but I stood my ground.
Eventually, she listened and understood.
They support me.
But?
No, no buts.
Well
Of course,
it's a bit more complicated, but
Mom said that when I turn 18,
we're gonna discuss it,
what I want and so on.
We'd just have to keep it a secret
for two years.
Until then, I could, you know
Then we could be together,
a-and we could like
Come on, Wille.
What do you mean
you'll talk when you're 18?
Yeah.
Or, I mean, we'll
Do you really think that I'm gonna sit
around waiting for you for two years?
You couldn't even be honest
about denying it was you in the video.
How am I supposed to trust you?
I think it's really great
that you feel like they're supportive
and stuff, but like
I cannot be your
secret again.
And I think that we
we can talk in school.
We kinda have to, at rowing and stuff.
So you mean like friends?
Mm-hmm.
Pajama parties always start with games.
- What's your experience?
- Yay.
- Oh, that one.
- Yeah.
- What is it?
- Girl Talk.
It's been sitting on that shelf
since we started here.
- I so wanna play this game.
- Yay.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
- Felice.
- Wait, I just gotta reply to Wille.
Hello. It's Sara's birthday.
Can't you do that later?
Mm.
- But seriously, what's up between you two?
- I just have to go to the bathroom.
- Come on.
- Just start without me.
- Ugh! Smallest bladder in Sweden.
- Okay.
"Let the two twists of fate
decide what you are to do
or what question you answer."
"If you complete the challenge
or dare to answer the question,
you get a point."
"If you don't dare,
or mess up the challenge, no points."
"A guy in your class
is very in love with" I mean
They're all the same.
"Next week, you'll meet a guy"
- What if it isn't a guy?
- It's a game for girls.
- What's the game?
- We just went over the rules.
You'll just have to keep up.
Yeah, God, listen to this.
"Rate your own face from one to ten,
and tell us why."
God. What is this?
- Well, the game's from 1994.
- '94?
- Yeah, '94.
- No. Just play the game.
You start, Stella.
The purple one?
GIRL TALK
- Eight. Okay.
- Eight.
Um "How many people
have you had sex with?"
Uh, three.
Your turn.
- What?
- Your turn.
Uh, yeah.
I've, uh, slept with three as well.
Or two.
- Or one. It's difficult.
- What the fuck?
It depends on how you count. I don't know.
- Very unclear.
- I gave you an answer.
- Okay, Maddie
- Yeah, no, I'm not gonna No way.
- Quit it. Can't you just say?
- Um no.
- Ugh. Always so contrary.
- Okay, Felice.
- Um Three.
- Sara?
I, uh haven't slept with anyone.
Not a single one?
- Hey, come on.
- Come on, what?
There's nothing wrong with that.
I just think it's cute with a real virgin.
But do you mean
that there are fake virgins too or what?
There are some people who are virgins,
but then they've done everything
but like penetration sex, you know?
But why should you sleep with someone
if you can make yourself cum on your own?
Yes, yes! Preach it!
But Sorry. Hold on, stop.
It's all about love.
It's so I mean, it's just so much better.
I mean, if you sleep with a person
you have feelings for, then it's better.
Mm-hmm. Absolutely.
You know that feeling
when you really, really want someone?
Like when you find a person
who makes you tingle,
you should fucking sleep with them.
- It's a totally different feeling.
- I agree, like 100%.
WILHELM: I HATE HIM
WILHELM: AUGUST IS THE MOS
DISGUSTING PERSON IN THE WORLD.
EVERYTHING HE DOES DISGUSTS ME.
I HATE HIM.
HERE THEY ARE, THE SAME DEAD PIXELS
IN ALL HIS PHOTOS ON INSTA.
IT HAS TO BE AUGUST WHO POSTED THE VIDEO!
- Could you give me my phone?
- Uh, sure. Hold on.
You're so much better
at this than I am.

SIMON: WYD?
WANT TO WATCH A MOVIE OR SOMETHING?
Well, here it is.
It's nice to have your own place.
Even though it's in the backyard.
You want something to drink?
I have coke,
Fanta, sparkling water.
Mm
- Coke sounds great.
- Okay.
Cozy.
Thanks.
My mom helped me decorate.
So what do you wanna watch?
What do you like?
Oh.
Action.
- Action?
- Uh-huh. What do you wanna watch?
- Horror.
- Horror?
- No way. Never.

- Nah, horror, I
Sorry, I can't do it. Nah.
Mm Hey, uh
Uh
You're great.
You too.
I didn't invite you over just to
sleep with you.
I like you.
A lot.
So maybe we don't have to rush it.
Mm-hmm.
And then we'll see where that takes us.
Okay?
That one?

It was Felice.
Huh?
It was Felice
who told Wilhelm about the video.
What are you talking about?
Somehow, she could see
it was filmed using your phone.
Something about some dead pixels,
like a watermark.
If she goes public with that,
I'm fucking screwed.
But what's worse,
that they go public or you do it first?
I mean, now you still
have a chance to do it.
Just take the hit.
Okay, I-I need to think,
but you can go now.
But that wasn't the only reason
I came here. Can I kiss you?
- Excuse me?
- I just wanna try something.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
Mm. They were right.
It's a stronger feeling.
I think I want to have sex with you.
From what I understand,
it is your mother who wants you to see me.
- Mm.
- Mm-hmm.
And what do you think about that?
Well, I guess she's worried.
Aren't all parents?
Well
- Would you say her worries are justified?
- I didn't say that.
I'm fine, given the circumstances.
And those circumstances, they, uh
what are they?
Well, my brother
He, um
I I became Crown Prince, and
Mm-hmm?
Well, isn't that enough?
I guess.
The Crown Prince should know one thing,
and that is that anything you say in here
is confidential.
And as you may have noticed,
I'm not taking any notes whatsoever.
The only thing I report to your parents
is whether you attend
our scheduled appointments or not.
Okay, so I don't have to talk?
No, if you don't wanna talk,
then you don't have to, no.
Okay, good.
ANXIETY, WORRY AND PANIC ATTACKS
Mr. Englund's class
is just so boring.
Move, please. Out of the way.
- Hey.
- Hi.
How did it go?
Oh, yeah, I spoke to Abdi and Johan,
and they're in.
Okay, so, uh then we're safe.
He's gonna be so fucking pissed
if we fail.
Fuck it. There are enough
of us to vote him out anyway.
- Move aside. Move aside.
- Nobody wants him anymore.
- Here he comes.
- Excuse me.
- Hi, man.
- Hey.
Hey, August. What's up?
Shit, um
I heard they opened the shooting range.
Should we have a go?
- Hey, you guys done with
- Shh!
Me and Dad are going to Zambia
over the break maybe,
so I have to practice anyway.
Sure.
Great.
Damn, this bread, it's amazing.
Really good. Mm.
I used to eat it all the time in Paris.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm. Try it.
I don't eat carbs. I'm fine.
Maybe you shouldn't either
if you're hoping to get
on the rowing team.
Yeah, that's true.
Be careful what you eat, Nils.
Mm-hmm. You too.
He says a lot
of smart things, that guy.
Thanks for trying
to distract me.
This is gonna be fun.
Oh, there's the guy who's gonna help us.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Felice, right?
- Exactly.
- Uh
- Hi.
Marcus.
Wilhelm.
Uh
So you want to shoot clay pigeons?
- Yeah.
- Who wants to go first?
- I wanna go first.
- Yeah? Great.
Pull!
Nice one!
Your turn. Ready?
- Does he have to be here?
- What?
Yeah, it's a-a safety precaution,
since we're under 18.
- You know, he's been on a date with Simon.
- What?
Wait. When was this?
Pull!
- Fuck.
- You'll get it next time!
I saw that
they've been on a date, on Insta.
I mean, if he's moved on so soon,
what did I mean to him?
- Ready?
- Shit, that must really suck.
You're better looking than him.
Change tactics.
Just spend more time with Simon,
and prove that he can trust you.
You ready?
Mm-hmm.
Pull!
- Nice!
- Nice.
You got this, Wille.
Hi.
What's this?
August, we, um
We see it as our duty
to fully protect our house reputation.
And we're well aware that your studies
take up a lot of your time, but, um
Well, the final semester's
important to us third-years.
We deserve the privileges
that tradition gives us,
but now, it's chaos.
And it's spreading
throughout the entire school.
That can't be allowed.
Okay, I I, um I agree. I hear you.
I will make it my top priority.
We have already elected a new prefect.
And who, uh
Who, if I may ask, who-who
should I congratulate
on that thankless, shit assignment?
Hmm?
August
just accept it.
Of course, you are still on the team.
And your opinions are valuable to us.
Are you gonna let him
be team captain as well?
Fucking Brutus, man.
Vincent's your new prefect. Congrats!
He'll be a thousand times shittier
than I've ever been.
What the hell was that?
They were fed up with him.
Come on, let's go.
Coming to the stables later?
Hmm, I don't know.
I have the worst cramps.
So I don't think I'm quite up for that.
I think I might skip it.
Something weird happened today,
by the way.
Hmm?
Fredrika asked me
if I could help her with Indigo.
Oh, that'll be fun.
Yeah, but I barely have time for Rousseau.
I don't know
how I'm supposed to manage two horses.
- I'm gonna quit riding.
- What d'you say?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
I didn't know how to tell you.
- I knew how disappointed and sad you'd be.
- But I
What are you gonna do with Rousseau?
- We're gonna sell him.
- I'm sorry. I mean I pro
I promise, we will find
a good home for him,
with really nice owners,
and he'll be really happy, I promise.
Um
If you'd like to have some mornings
with Indigo,
that would be absolutely fine.
A-And you could be my stable hand
and come with me and help out
at like competitions and stuff.
Yeah! I could also use someone
to assist me.
- If you want.
- Maybe.
Girls, you may start.
- Good morning, fuckers.
- Good morning.
- I said, "Good morning, fuckers!"
- Good morning.
Good, that's more like it.
This is gonna be plain sailing.
The race against Sprucewood
will be a relay with eight rowers.
We're allowed four third-years per team.
Some kind of socialist nonsense,
but that's the way it is.
That means the rest of you will have
a chance as well, even if you suck.
- I'm sorry I'm late.
- You, shut up!
To arrive late and waste oxygen
on some lame excuse
that doesn't work on my team.
Let's keep this simple.
We'll run the entire track, and the ones
who get to the finish-line first
qualify for the team.
Yeah, but it's like 17 kilometers.
It's not even a track.
It's a fucking trail.
Someone could get hurt.
I'm sorry, I-I thought
I was the team captain.
Everybody here can row.
I'm not kidding.
Even Walter,
even though he's underdeveloped,
both mentally and physically, as you know.
But I only want people
who really want to row
and can push through!
Are you with me?
- Yep.
- Yep.
I said, "Are you with me?"
Yep.
Okay, I want a nice
and orderly line up here.
Straight as a fucking arrow.

'Cause I I don't
Uh
I don't want you to mess up your grades.
The The PE teacher wants us
to compete for the school. Come on.
Come on, I know another way.
- What, so you mean like cheating?
- Yeah. Come on.
How do you know him?
- Marcus?
- Yeah.
He works at the shooting range.
I was there yesterday with Felice.
- How do you know him?
- Uh
I mean, he's from Bjärstad.
- Everyone knows everyone in Bjärstad.
- Yeah, right.
Come on now! Final stretch, guys!
Come on! Let's go!
Good!
Great job, dude.
Nice.
Okay!
The Crown Prince and the non-resident
taking the last spots, that's surprising.
Oh well. Well done.
I helped you become prefect.
Can't I at least become vice team captain?
Uh, no. Shit, you're on the team.
Stop sulking, dammit. Chin up.
1 NEW VOICEMAIL.
Get away!
What the hell are you doing,
you fucking idiot?
Hi, and welcome to your voicemail.
You have one new message.
Hi, August.
This is Jan-Olof from the Royal Court,
trying to reach you.
Uh, I would like to inform you
that the Queen requests your presence
at the castle this Tuesday,
uh, at four o'clock.
MARCUS: YOU LOOK GOOD WHEN YOU RUN.
THANKS FOR YESTERDAY!
It's important
that you will be there
since the Queen wants to have
a meeting and a chat with you.
We'll send a car.
That's all. Thank you and goodbye.
