Crown Prince, we thought
that you would sit at the end.
- [WILHELM] Here?
- [FARIMA] Here. Exactly.
And Simon and his mother will sit
over there with their counselor.
And August, over there, with his lawyer.

[SIGHS]
[GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[LINDA, IN SPANISH] Come here, darling.
Hey. Button up your shirt so
that you look more serious.
[SIMON SIGHS]
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[JAN-OLOF] Right.
We have gathered here today
because of the so-called
"intimate video clip."
This video clip has had
devastating consequences
for the two plaintiffs,
His Highness Crown Prince
Wilhelm and Simon Eriksson.
However, at this point, a trial
would significantly worsen
the current media situation.
We would like to, together with you,
discuss the possibility
of reaching a settlement.
Yes, we have drawn up a proposal
for compensation regarding
the two plaintiffs.
That being said, I'd like to emphasize
that my client would
be sacrificing a lot
by agreeing to this settlement.
In a trial, the evidence and the
testimonies would hardly be enough
for a conviction.
The question is if the video clip
would even be considered explicit.
[SCOFFS] Excuse me?
To show someone kissing someone
of the same sex, of being gay,
doesn't necessarily portray that
person as disreputable these days.
The video clip is relatively innocent.
- [LINDA] Innocent? How can you say that?
- But, Mom, please
Your son has tried to
destroy their lives!
And after the Prince's speech,
the Nordic Resistance movement came
to Bjärstad and burnt pride flags.
People are calling in
the middle of the night.
We're getting letters
with threats to our home.
I want justice for my son.
Could we take a short break, please?
I'd like to confer with my client.
- [JAN-OLOF] Yes, let's take a short break.
- [AUGUST SIGHS]
- [QUEEN CLEARS THROAT]
- [DOOR OPENS]
[RICKARD] We'll discuss this next week.
We're in the middle of this process.
Okay. Bye.
[SIGHS] Come on.
- Lighten up. It's gonna be fine.
- [SIGHS]
It's not that easy when they sit there
and look at me like I'm
some kind of piss person.
[LAUGHS] Okay. You are a piss person.
[SIGHS] I see it like this.
Sometimes, you have to
accept that, once in a while,
you are a piss person.
That's the way it is.
What are you talking about? Piss
Do you think I'm a piss person?
- Not at all.
- [AUGUST] You think I'm evil?
No, absolutely not.
August, you have to admit
that it is pretty ironic that
you, out of all piss people,
have become a threat to the crown.
- I love the monarchy.
- [RICKARD] Mm.
But the important question
is, does the monarchy love you?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[COUNSELOR] The Royal Court doesn't
want to take this any further.
And then you stand alone
against August and his lawyer,
one of the best in Sweden.
And this is a very generous offer.
So, like, what is he willing to pay?
1.2 million crowns.
I didn't move to Sweden to teach
my kids to accept some bribe.
[COUNSELOR] I understand
that, but this could get nasty.
[SIMON SIGHS]
[COUNSELOR] They will try
to dig up all kinds of crap.
[LINDA] They're like a clan.
Mafia methods.
I just want this to be over.
Wille said that he will have to
sell his dad's manor to pay up.
And that's the worst
punishment August could get.
I can't take it anymore.
I'm going to the bathroom.
[TENDER INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[WILHELM] Hi.
[SIMON] Hi.
I can't believe that you're here.
Me neither.
I just wish it wasn't
for this reason.
[WILHELM] No.
This isn't quite how
I imagined it would be.
How did you imagine it would be?
I can, um
show you.
[SIMON] Mm-hmm?
[SOFTLY] Okay, come.
[SIMON CHUCKLES SOFTLY] But Mom's in
What?
[QUIETLY] My mom
They're not gonna
start without us, Simon.
Come.
[SIMON] Cozy.
[BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY]
- [BOTH LAUGHING]
- [SIMON GRUNTS PLAYFULLY]
Was this how you imagined it?
No.
[SOFTLY] This is better.
[TENDER MUSIC SWELLS]
[BOTH LAUGHING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[SIMON MOANS SOFTLY]
[SIMON SIGHS]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- [MUSIC CUTS OUT]
- [FARIMA] Crown Prince? We have to resume.
Yeah, we're coming.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
[JAN-OLOF CLEARS THROAT]
[JAN-OLOF] So, our proposal is
that we go through the agreement,
section by section.
And if either party needs
to make any amendments,
we'll enter them as we go
along before signing it.
Excuse me, but we're done here.
You can do what you want, but
I'm not gonna teach my kids
that some people are
exempt from the law.
[RICKARD] Absolutely.
I totally agree with you
that it's important
that we teach our kids
that you simply just
can't escape the law.
But if that is the case,
that goes for Simon and
the Crown Prince as well.
Well, if we reach a settlement,
August is prepared not to report Simon
for selling his dad's medication
to students at Hillerska.
[WILHELM SIGHS]
[RICKARD] Or the Crown Prince for
the fact that he, uh, approached
and threatened August with a rifle.
[SCOFFS] I mean, all of this, it
was your fault to begin with.
You scammed Simon out of his
money, and you took the drugs.
So did you.
[RICKARD] But in exchange
for August's silence,
not to mention the generous
financial compensation
to the parties,
we'll need assurance
from the Royal Court
that August is given an official title
as the next in line to the
throne after the Crown Prince.
[SCOFFS] But it doesn't matter
if you you have a title or not.
You'll never be a part of my family.
Just look at me!
If you think I'm letting you
take over, then you can forget it!
- You won't have to let me take over.
- [WILHELM] No?
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
- No.
- [WILHELM] Why not?
With your track record, you'll manage
to fuck everything up all on your own.
- So I'm the one fucking up? Huh?
- [TAKES A BREATH]
Your problems started
before I got involved.
- [WILHELM] Oh, really? Yeah?
- And you know that.
I mean, I'm not the one who's
known for beating people up.
You know what? You're a disgusting
- Stop it!
- [MUSIC HALTS]
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[SOMBER MUSIC FADES]
[QUEEN CLEARS THROAT]
[SNIFFLES]
HILLERSKA SCHOOL
[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
It's all signed now,
so let's, uh, turn a blank page
and just put this behind us.
- Yes, Mom. But
- [QUEEN] Wilhelm.
I don't expect you to forgive August.
I don't even expect
you to like each other.
But we can't have any
more scandals like this.
Especially not involving the two of you.
[WILHELM SIGHS]
[QUEEN] Now, what do you think
Erik would have said if he
had seen you act this way?
Erik would never have forgiven him.
[QUEEN SNIFFLES, CLEARS THROAT]
You'll soon be 17, and within a year,
you have to be able
to take over after me.
Do you understand that?
Do you really get it?
This isn't some game. [SCOFFS]
I I I promise, Your Majesty,
both me and Wilhelm will behave.
- [QUEEN CRYING] Mm.
- [AUGUST] For Erik's sake.
[QUEEN SIGHS, SNIFFLES]
Well, if you stay away
from me, I'll do the same.
[QUEEN WHIMPERS]
Oh, God [EXHALES SHARPLY]
[PANTING] Oh, God!
Oh, G
Oh, God. Oh, God! [GASPING]
- Oh, God, help me!
- Hey. Hey.
- [QUEEN SOBS]
- What should I
[GENTLY] Just breathe.
Go get someone!
[AUGUST] Sure.
[QUEEN CONTINUES SOBBING] My Erik.
My Erik.

[STELLA] We should just go on a trip.
[FREDRIKA] Yeah, I
mean, let's go somewhere.
[MADISON] Sun and spring
one day, snow the next.
What the fuck?
Screw this country.
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [STELLA] But
Honestly, I'm really worried about her.
[FREDRIKA] Yeah, who isn't?
She's been wearing the same
sweatpants several days in a row.
It's totally insane.
Hey, am I completely crazy
if I say I think that
she should stop whining?
[SCOFFS] I mean, come on, I'm
sorry, but yeah, Sara was a snake.
Fine, get over it.
It's not as if she's been dumped.
That would have been different.
Yeah, but breaking up with a friend
can be worse than getting dumped.
- But, come on.
- Yeah.
We need to have an intervention.
- [FREDRIKA] Morning, sweetie.
- Hi.
Good morning.
- How are you doing?
- [FELICE] Mm.
- "Meh"?
- [GIRL 1] Ow, ow, ow!
[GIRL 2] Take it easy.
- [GIRL 1] Ow!
- [GIRL 2] I think it's working.
[SCREAMING] Ow! Ow!
- Come on. Stop exaggerating.
- Come on.
- You could have warned me.
- I wanna see.
[GIRL 3] It's 50 points.
- [GIRL 1] It's my ear.
- [GIRL 2] It's worth it. Stop whining.
Jesus. It's like two
months left till graduation.
It's gonna be like this till then?
But it's the third graders' Point Hunt.
They got so much to look forward to.
They're gonna have the 50-Day Party.
Then there's Valborg, the comedy show
[STELLA] Graduation bash
They're gonna have the receptions
and arrange the trucks
[FREDRIKA] Mm. And also,
the last annual dinner
- COMING BACK TODAY
- with the teachers.
You're looking forward to the dinner?
[FREDRIKA] It's cozy. They're cute. Mm.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]
Who are you texting?
I'VE MISSED YOU.
Wille's coming back today, so
- What?
- [FREDRIKA] Oh my God.
That's a huge deal, right?
Okay.
No, it's the first time we've seen him
since the anniversary celebration.
How are, like, he and
Simon gonna, like
What are they gonna do?
Are they a couple now? I mean, for real.
[ENERGETIC, RHYTHMIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Wilhelm, can I have an honest
and open conversation with you?
About your relationship.
I'm not gonna stop seeing Simon.
[FARIMA] No, nobody's saying that.
But I think that if we use
this situation in the right way,
it can help us modernize
the monarchy's image
as a natural part of a tolerant Sweden.
You will create a whole
new generation of royalists.
That's why we have
to focus on your work.
We'll launch a charity foundation
in your name on your 17th birthday.
And this will be your first
official task as Crown Prince.
We have drawn up a
schedule for the summer.
We can see it as kind
of a Crown Prince school
so that you can make up for everything
that you haven't been prepared for yet.
We only see one potential
risk in all of this.
That Simon won't understand
that everything he does
from now on reflects on you.
It reflects on the entire Royal Court.
That he, under no circumstances,
can talk to journalists.
Simon won't talk to any journalists.
You won't have to worry about that.
[FARIMA] But this also
applies to his social media.
He has to lay low right now.
Do you understand what I mean?
Yeah, I understand what you mean,
but I've got it under control.
- You don't have to worry about that.
- [FARIMA] Okay.
Good.
[WILHELM SIGHS]
[QUIETLY] Crown Prince school.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC FADES]
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
[LINDA] Pee into this.
- What?
- I just wanna make sure.
Do you think I'm on drugs? I
didn't take those pills myself.
And you're grounded for
the rest of the semester.
[IN SPANISH] You'll come
straight home after school.
Don't be out a minute longer.
[LINDA SCOFFS]
I know I made a mistake, but
I just wanted to help Sara.
Everything went wrong.
[IN SPANISH] How am I supposed
to know that, Simon? How?
Apparently, I know nothing!
You never tell me what's
going on in this house!
It's like I don't know my kids anymore.
grateful that I don't force you
to quit Hillerska.
It's enough with one kid
sitting around the house.
[SARA, QUIETLY] What's going on?
- How did it go at the palace?
- [SIMON] Sara!
All of this is your fault!
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
But I reported August just to show
you that I'm on your side.
You should've come
and talked to me first!
Now you've made everything even worse!
- But you refused to talk to me.
- [SIGHS]
Please, can you just get
out of here? I beg you.
You've destroyed my life,
and now I'm being humiliated
in my own fucking home!
Go!
Leave!
[NILS] I hope something really
sick happens at the party.
[VINCENT] The guy that broke his
arm? That was on the 50-Day Party.
[NILS] No, that was the Point Hunt.
It was a mission you had to do.
- [AUGUST] Hi.
- Hey.
Hey.
[AUGUST SNIFFLES, SIGHS]
[NILS] So, where have you been?
Uh, I've just been home for a bit.
I had to sort out stuff with the family.
- I picked up a couple things.
- [VINCENT] Oh, what the fuck?
[NILS] What?
It's that goddamn
reporter, texting me again.
- [NILS] About the Crown Prince?
- [VINCENT] Yeah, about the speech.
[QUIETLY] What the hell?
Soon they'll have DMed half
the school for a statement.
They're asking loads
of other stuff as well.
- About things that happened ages ago.
- Like what?
About the initiations
and stuff like that.
[AUGUST AND NILS] What?
But people know that it's forbidden
to talk about that afterwards.
[VINCENT] No, just forget it.
They're just trying to
find an opening, right?
- [NILS] Yeah.
- Huh.
[VINCENT] Mm, but it's still weird.
What do the initiations have
to do with Wille and his speech?
[AUGUST] Hmm.
[TENSE, ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]

- Hi.
[CHATTER RESUMES]
Ah.
- [GUY 1] Okay.
- [GUY 2] It starts again.
How you doing?
I'm fine now.
How are you?
I'm fine.
It's just kind of weird.
Everyone's staring.
[SCOFFS] Whatever.
Mm, but it's making me uncomfortable.
This is what we want. Not
having to sneak around.
Yeah.
[SIGHS]
But is your family really
gonna be okay with that?
And the Royal Court?
[WILHELM] Yeah, they just want us
to keep a low profile for a while.
[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
I
I've told them
that I'm gonna be both the Crown Prince
and your boyfriend.
Okay.
I was thinking that, if you want to,
you could sleep here this weekend.
But I can't. I've been grounded.
- The entire semester.
- The entire semester?
- Mom is really mad.
- [SIGHS] Fuck.
But [SIGHS]
you could sleep at my place instead.
Or I'll, um just have to sneak out.
Would you do that for me?
[SIMON] Mm-hmm.
[SOFTLY] Good.
Let's do that, then.
[VINCENT] The party's
for the third years.
But you can come if
you bring some booze.
[NILS] Yeah, you get us booze.
Yeah, you fix the Kir first, and
then we can have a discussion about
Uh, maybe we can make an exception.
- Okay? Capisce?
- ["GET MINE" BY SLINGER & JAE PLAYING]

Uh, Manor House is in the lead.
And we're tied with the Sprucewood.
So if we want to have a
chance to win this competition,
we have to bag more 50-pointers.
Okay, so what we have to do is
tattoo "Hillerska 4 life" on our arms.
- [VINCENT] Yeah.
- Take a selfie in a police car.
- [VINCENT] Yeah.
- [NILS] Do the balloon dance in public.

[VINCENT] Okay. What
more do we have left?

- That one is perfect for you, August.
- [NILS LAUGHS]
Easy-peasy.
The only question is,
who are you gonna choose?
- Felice or Sara?
- Ha.
- You didn't think we knew?
- [UNDER BREATH] Shut up.
[VINCENT CHUCKLES]
Come on, best friends.
I mean, uh, that's a real fuckboy move.
- Damn.
- [AUGUST] Shut up!
Oh, touchy subject.
Are you in love?
Well, I mean, it's not all bad.
You and Wille could sit together on
the bus out to the slums. [LAUGHS]
Don't talk about her like that.
Okay?
[VINCENT] Come on. I was just kidding.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
[INHALES SHARPLY]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- Nice, huh?
- [WILHELM] Mm-hmm. Really nice.
[SIMON] I think you
should get this tattooed.
[WILHELM CHUCKLES]
I think Mom would decapitate
me if I got that tattooed.
- Why's that?
- I'm not allowed to have tattoos, Simon.
But why?
The same reason I'm not allowed
to cut my hair shorter than this.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- It's "not appropriate."
- It's really nice, but I can't. I'm sorry.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [FELICE] Hello. How are you?
- Hi.
- Hey.
- I'm fine. How are you?
[INHALES SHARPLY] Yeah. Well, you know.
Things are a bit so-so. You know?
[INHALES SHARPLY] Uh, right.
Could you give this to Sara?
I didn't know what to do with it, so
Sure.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
How, um [CLEARS THROAT]
How is she doing?
She's, um
[CLICKS TONGUE]
not that great, I guess.
But I'm not really talking
to her right now, so
[FELICE SIGHS] You know, it's
so strange 'cause I really
I'm so damn angry at her.
But in some sick, ridiculous,
twisted way, I still miss her.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
But I can't talk to the
other girls about it either.
Because they think that it's degrading
to miss someone who's
fucked you over so damn hard.
Well, it is degrading.
But yeah. I see what you mean.
[FELICE] But it's also like, how
how do you get over your best friend?
[GENTLE MUSIC FADES]
- [BIRDS SINGING]
- [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
- [REPORTER] Hi. Simon Eriksson?
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[REPORTER] We have a couple
of short questions for you.
How has it been for you since
the Crown Prince came out?
We've been hearing some
rumors about homophobia.
Your ex, Marcus Sköld, he said that
it seemed to be pretty problematic
between you and the Crown Prince.
Care to comment on that statement?
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
[REPORTER] Simon?
[TENSE MUSIC FADES]
[ROSH] Okay, here it is.
"As late as February, the
Crown Prince's boyfriend
was seen with another young man
at Hillerska's yearly
Valen Valentine's ball."
"'It makes you wonder
how serious it is,'
says a source close to the family."
"When we finally get a
hold of the ex-boyfriend,
he says that the relationship
between the Crown Prince and
Simon Eriksson seems problematic."
- [AYUB] Problematic?
- [ROSH SCOFFS]
- [AYUB] You weren't even together.
- No.
I mean, should we have a talk with him?
[SIMON] You know what?
The worst thing isn't what Marcus
says, but what people are writing.
Have you read the comments?
[ROSH] Yeah, but people
are so sick online.
I mean, they wouldn't come
and say it to your face.
[SIMON] No, but it's not fun to
read that I'm a typical Latin lover,
jumping between boyfriends.
Or a gold digger confusing the Prince.
- [POP MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]
- [TAKES A DEEP BREATH] I don't know.
I just wish that he'd said
something before he said all that.
I'd have been able to
prepare myself a bit.
[ROSH] But have you told him that?
No. It would just sound stupid.
What What am I gonna say?
"Thank you for
um standing up for me
and admitting that it was
you in the video and "
Now I'm the one who gets all the shit.
Yeah, I get that, but
he also has a habit
of doing everything a bit like
I don't know.
- He's just a bit impulsive.
- [SIMON] I don't know. It's like
I think it's better if
I kept on top of things
and replied to some comments
and have some control
so that people will understand who
I am and where I stand, you know?
Wanna play?
- [AYUB] Yeah.
- [ROSH] Yep.
- You ready?
- [AYUB] Mm-hmm.
LOL REAL LATINO LOVER
[AYUB] Hey, what about
the hike to Pinepoint?
[ROSH] I'm not fucking
showing up for that.
[AYUB] What? Why?
- I'm gonna hike. I'm going paddling.
- [ROSH] Can you even swim?
[AYUB] Yeah, I'm a damn good swimmer.
I'm like a shark in the water.

[NILS] Huh?
Hey, come enjoy this feud with me ♪
One royal gotta be in tune with me ♪
- Heard one or two rumors
- Come on. It's your turn. Come on.
- You have to finish.
- Take over.
[SONG CONTINUES IN DISTANCE]
[NILS] Wille?
Hi.
[WILHELM] Hi.
[NILS] How are you?
Fine. You?
[NILS] Uh, I'm fine. I
I just wanted to say that, um
I probably wouldn't have
made the same choice you made.
But I still think that
it was kind of brave.
Foolish.
But brave.
Thanks.
You You went to this school
while Erik was still here.
Yeah.
We never spoke a lot about love and
relationships and stuff, but, um
But I just thought that you might
know if he was dating anyone here.
Maybe you should talk
to August about that.
- No.
- I mean, they were pretty close.
[WILHELM SIGHS]
I was wondering how he
fucking handled it all.
I wish I could ask him.
[GUYS CONTINUE CHATTERING DOWN THE HALL]
[NILS TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
Here's the deal, um
I know that Erik dated people, you know?
But that was nothing he made public.
But I guess that's the whole point.
Keep what's private, private.
[TRIMMER CONTINUES BUZZING]
[NILS] Why? Do you regret
it? Saying it was you?
[SCOFFS] No. Why would I regret that?
[NILS] I don't know.
Maybe it's best to stick to
someone who's part of your circle.
[SCOFFS] No, not for me.
[NILS] Okay, sorry.
I'm sorry.

are fine between us or anything.
Well, you're always
welcome here. [SIGHS]
I'll go and fix the bedroom for you.

sleep on the couch.
It's only temporary.

it is time to get over her.
And step one is we
gotta clean up this mess.
- What's going on here?
- Mm-hmm.
[MADISON] We'll start
by cleaning your room.
- [STELLA] Yeah.
- Get all the bad energy out.
Uh, set some protection spells.
And then we will do some soul cleansing.
Set some intentions. Do a vision board.
And if that doesn't help for some
reason, then I'm sure this will.
[FELICE] What's this?
[STELLA SQUEALS]
New York, bitch!
- [NOISEMAKERS BLOWING]
- [GROUP LAUGHS]
[STELLA] Okay. Okay. Listen.
I read some lists about the
best ways to get over someone.
And one of the most important things
is that you need to have
something to look forward to. So
[MADISON] We're going to New
York after school finishes.
[FREDRIKA SQUEALS]
I mean, we're gonna
We're gonna be shopping.
We're gonna be partying.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- Hi.
[SIGHS]
[SIMON] Is it true?
Did it happen to you?
No, not the not the film.

What about the other stuff?
- [DOORS OPEN]
- [CHATTER DIES DOWN]
Good morning.
[STUDENTS] Good morning.
[WOMAN] Please sit down.
Who is she?
My name is Vanessa Hamilton,
and I'm the acting principal.
Anette Lilja has requested
a leave of absence
until the veracity of the allegations
that have appeared in
media have been assessed.
A complaint has been filed
with the School Inspectorate.
Because of that, we have decided
that it is time for us to get tough.
All extracurricular
activities will end today.
- [GUY 1] What?
- The score competition is canceled.
What? It has already started.
And your cell phones
will be confiscated.
- What?
- [GIRL] No way.
- [VANESSA] You can use them an hour a day.
- [STUDENTS MURMURING]
There will also be a curfew
from 7:00 in the evening for
each and every one of you.
Hold on. What?
- [VINCENT] What?
- What? For us all?
[VANESSA] If anyone is
found outside of their dorm
while the curfew is in effect,
or if they are found drinking alcohol
or using nicotine, for that matter
[SIGHS]
this will result
in immediate suspension.
- You've gotta be kidding.
- Wait, what?
[GUY 2] Is that even legal?
[SIMON] We won't be able to hang out.
- [WILHELM CLEARS THROAT]
- One question.
[HESITATES] Uh Uh, hi.
Vincent here. Nice to meet you.
Um, the stuff you're talking
about, uh [CLICKS TONGUE]
they don't apply to us
third-year students, right?
They apply to all
students. Even legal adults.
Come on. We're about to graduate.
- [VINCENT] Yeah, exactly.
- All students.
[SHOCKED CHATTER]
[VANESSA] I want to make it very clear
to all of you what's at stake here.
Unless we can show that
Hillerska is a safe environment,
we may be barred from operating.
[HESITATES] And And
what what does that mean?
Hillerska may be forced to close
down, effective immediately.
