[HEAVY BREATHING ON SPEAKERPHONE]
[SOFTLY] I miss you.
[SIMON ON PHONE] Me too.
[EXHALES]
What would you have done if I was there?
If you were here with me now?
I would
[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
[GENTLE PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
run my fingers through your hair.
[WILHELM EXHALES]
[SIMON] I would have kissed
your birthmark
on your collarbone.
[WILHELM] Mm.
[SIMON] And then stroked your cheek.

[HOUSEMASTER] Crown Prince?
It's 7:00 p.m. Phone time's up.

- [SIMON SIGHS]
Uh, just a sec, Housemaster.
- Simon, I have to hang up.
- No.
- But I'll see you on Monday. Kiss.
- [SIGHS]
[SOMBER INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SOFTLY] Bye.
Uh, come in.
[DOOR OPENS]

POOR PRINCE FOOLED BY A GOLD DIGGER
THE BOYFRIEND IS AN IMPORTED PROBLEM
NO WONDER THE FAGS
ARE FLOCKING TO HILLERSKA
WITH THOSE INITIATIONS, HAHA
HANDS OFF OUR PRINCE
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Yeah, you'd better hurry now, girls.
THE STUDENTS AT HILLERSKA
ARE SICK CLOSE HILLERSKA NOW!
IT'S WILHELM'S
FAULT IF THE SCHOOL CLOSES
[VANESSA ON TV]
how the previous board reasoned
Well, I can't answer for them, can I?
[REPORTER] You think
it's problematic for the school
with these homophobic initiations?
What does that say
about the school's values?
We reject all forms of
hazing and bullying, of course.
And the witness revelations
are certainly deeply disturbing,
but we don't share the
opinion that's been portrayed.
[REPORTER] But traditions
are important for this school,
like the Crown
Prince said in his speech.
And the initiations that former
students have mentioned
Turn it off.
are a part of
- Turn it off.
- Come on, chill.
- [VANESSA] Positive traditions
- I said turn it off!
[TV CLICKS OFF]
[VINCENT] Our entire
graduation is ruined.
For three years, we have struggled
to get to enjoy our final days here.
[SIGHS]
For three years.
And now, well, hmm,
we're getting nothing.
We're not getting anything whatsoever
just because some people become upset
because we joke around at an initiation.
Is there seriously anyone
in here who has been bullied?
Hit? Beaten up?
But this is clearly an
exaggerated story come out.
Talk about some damn porno.
I mean, we didn't have a porno
at our initiation, right, Wille?
- [WILHELM] No.
- [CLEARS THROAT] Crown Prince.
You have a visitor.
Who is it?
[HOUSEMASTER] This way.
[WILHELM SIGHS, CLEARS THROAT]
See you.
[DOOR CLOSES]
We have to give up our graduation
because Wille had to
tell the entire world
that he hooked up with
some freakin' dude?
For fuck's sake, Vincent.
Get a grip.
This is no joke.
What if our school has to close?
We'd have to switch schools. All of us.
I mean, would you like to attend
a school in town with socialists
and bougie white trash?
Do you want that?
If we don't want to destroy everything
that we've built here at Hillerska,
we should
we should support our school.
We should give some kind
of of joint statement.
[SIGHS]
Show both the school inspectorate
and the media our view of the school.
How it really is.
It might calm things down. We
might even get our graduation back.
[BRIGHT MUSIC PLAYING]
[BIRDS SINGING]
Your father asked me to speak to you.
He wanted to visit you
in person, but, um
he didn't dare leave the Queen alone.
How is she?
[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
She has migraines, trouble sleeping
The doctors have done
all kinds of tests,
so we'll just have to
wait and see what they say.
[QUIETLY] Okay.
I mean, why can't she just call me?
I mean, it's so chaotic here.
People
say that it's my fault that
it's all been made public,
and I just don't know what to do.
You haven't experienced anything
of what they're talking about?
No, nothing that I haven't
been able to handle.
But you understand the
concern of the Royal Court?
If all these stories
turn out to be true,
it won't look good for us
to allow you to stay here.
So, you're gonna try to
force me to quit the school?
I think we should remain calm
until we know what the outcome is.
But yes, if it turns out
to be true, we have to act.
It wouldn't look good if we didn't.
Okay, so the plan is to not do anything
until it looks bad not to do anything?
Just lay low, and
we'll get through this.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[WILHELM SIGHS]
[GIRL 1] Oh. Oh my God.
This guy who is together
with the Crown Prince.
[GIRL 2] Yeah, it is.
- [GIRL 1] He's such an attention whore.
- [GIRL 2] Yeah, I know.
He thinks he's such a celebrity.
[GIRL 1] Ugh. He's so annoying.
[PLAYING NOTES ON PIANO]
What if they close the
school because of me?
[SIMON] But you've
only tried to do good.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER IN DISTANCE]
People dare to speak up
about their problems here.
- [WILHELM SIGHS]
- [SIMON] It's great.
And if they close the school because
of everything that's happened,
I mean, that's a really
good thing, right?
But that means we couldn't be together.
How is that good?
Of course we could.
Or are you just together with me
'cause we go to the same school?
[WILHELM CHUCKLES, INHALES]
No.
I'm not.
[SIMON] No?
[WILHELM] I just meant
that if [SIGHS]
If I go to a school in town,
we'd almost never be
able to see each other.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIGHS] I mean, we don't see each
other outside of school now anyway.
I mean, it's the same thing.
And that doesn't make a
difference between us or does it?
- No.
- [GENTLY] No.
But it sucks.
Yeah, I know.
Can't you start rowing again? Then
we can see each other after class.
- Rowing?
- Mm-hmm.
With August?
No, I don't think so.
[SIGHS]
[SIMON] Why do you still do it?
You should do an activity
that you actually like.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[MADISON] The whole vibe
is so bizarre right now.
I mean, people are already acting
as if they shut the place down.
- [SIGHS]
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Felice Ehrencrona?
Could I have a word
with you in my office?
Uh, sure.
- [VANESSA] Hmm?
- [FELICE CLEARS THROAT]
- Please have a seat.
- Mm-hmm.
[INHALES SHARPLY, SIGHS]
So, Felice
[INHALES SHARPLY]
Would you say that you, um,
like it here at Hillerska?
Yeah. [CHUCKLES] Of course.
What is it that you like about it?
Uh, well, maybe all the
fantastic, dedicated teachers.
It's calm, safe.
- Yeah. It's just nice here.
- [VANESSA] Hmm.
And outside of school hours?
Well, at the moment, the situation
is quite unusual, to say the least.
But apart from that, it's
it's really, really great as well.
And the camaraderie at
the school is amazing.
And you get friends for life.
Exactly. Nice to hear.
Great.
'Cause the reason is this.
The school inspectors
are planning a visit,
and they have sent us a list of students
that they would like to interview.
And you're one of them.
[CHUCKLES] Oh, okay.
- Um
- [VANESSA] Hmm?
But it's nothing to be nervous about.
They are going to ask you the same
type of questions I just asked,
and you, you answered brilliantly.
I want you to know that I'm so glad
that they made the
decision to talk to you.
We are very proud to
have you here with us.
And, of course, it's great to stress
that this isn't some homogenous school.
We have diversity in every way.
- I don't gotta do what you tell me ♪
- [MADISON] Good.
Good.
Good. Come on! Come on! Great!
Great!
- Great. Good job, all!
- [LAUGHING]
- [COACH] Nice, nice!
- I do what I, I do what I want ♪
I don't gotta do what you tell me ♪
Stop looking at me like that, Simon.
- Cut it out.
- [SIMON] Come on.
You're supposed to catch it.
- [LAUGHING] Stop it, Simon.
- [COACH] Five seconds left. Come on!
- Last one. Last one.
- Three, two, one, and
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
[SONG FADES]
[COACH] Well done, everyone.
Nice!
All right.
I have a little bit of information
regarding the annual spring hike.
- To Pinepoint.
- [STELLA SIGHS]
[COACH] Your parents
have been informed
Wait. Wasn't it canceled?
Like everything else?
No, it is not.
Luckily, the school
management understood
how important it is for us
to follow the curriculum.
And, uh, if there's one
thing we all need right now,
it's spending some more
time out in the open.
- So we'll camp overnight, barbecue
- [STELLA GIGGLES]
[COACH] And if someone has a
guitar, feel free to bring it.
All right! Chop-chop! Come on!
Here you go.
- Thank you.
- [COACH] It's gonna be great, huh?
Yeah.
All right. Here you go.
[QUIETLY] Oh fuck.
[COACH] But listen, guys! I still
expect you all to behave, okay?
- [FREDRIKA] It says marshmallows.
- [COACH] For you.
- [GIRLS GIGGLING]
- [COACH] Well done, Henry.
[STELLA GRUNTS, LAUGHS]
Do you think we'll
get to sleep together?
[WILHELM CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[SIMON SIGHS]
THE PRINCE'S SCHOOL THE PARTIES
- MENTAL ABUSE
[EXHALES]
[SIGHS]
Is it because of this that
you don't want to go back?
No.
[SIGHS]
I mean, I understand if you don't
want to go back to that school,
but you might have to
start thinking about
what you're gonna do instead.
[CLICKS TONGUE] Get a job?
What kind of job could I get?
Well, um
Well, I don't know, but there
are things that you could do
that that could help you get a job.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
A driver's license, for example. [SIGHS]
Maybe you'd like to work with horses.
I don't think I want
to work with horses.
I realize that people just buy and
sell horses as if they're a product.
And the horse has no say in the matter,
even if it's being abused, so
[CLICKS TONGUE] Well, in that case,
maybe you could help take care of
the horses that have been mistreated.
And then a driver's license
would be a good first step.
Uh, have you been practicing at all?
A little.
["NATTBUSS" BY FRICKY PLAYING]
[MICKE GRUNTS] Okay.
So before you start the car,
it's important that you
Make sure you assume the
correct driving position.
- Yep.
- That's right.
And before you start
driving, you also have to
Put your foot on the
clutch and the brake
so that I can shift into first gear.
Then I move my foot from the brake
to the gas pedal and
slowly release the clutch
while I slowly push the gas pedal.
[CHUCKLES] Well then,
uh, let's go, I guess.
[SARA] Mm-hmm.
[ENGINE STARTS]
LEARNER
[UPBEAT SWEDISH POP FADES OUT]
Here.
Today I thought we'd go through
the classic Valborg songs.
And we'll start with "Vintern Rasat."
[STUDENT] Excuse me, will we even
be allowed to celebrate Valborg?
[MUSIC TEACHER SIGHS] We
don't know that yet, but
'Cause many of us feel
that it's pointless
to rehearse if we aren't
allowed to perform anyway.
[MUSIC TEACHER] I understand
that you are concerned,
but the show must go on.
We're gonna rehearse as
if we are gonna perform.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I didn't know you liked to sing.
I don't like to sing.
- You don't?
- No.
No?
[GENTLY] I like to listen
to you while you're singing.
[SIMON] Mm. [CHUCKLES]

- I'm sorry.
Ugh, come on. For real.
I can't take this anymore.
I'm dying from boredom.
I get that the school's reacting,
but this is too fucking much.
What are we supposed to do?
We've got no phones, nothing.
[FREDRIKA] It's also that
I mean, it's so insanely sad.
'Cause we're sitting

It feels strange to

I can't talk to Vincent about that night

very funny one, maybe.
No. [SIGHS]
[EXHALES SHAKILY]
I don't know, it Um [SIGHS]
I think that's why I didn't
dare to speak up, you know?
Hey, at least we put a stop to it.
We kept our promise.
We didn't do the same
thing to our first-years.
Well, yeah. That was good.
[INHALES SHARPLY] I
don't know. I mean
I I'm not sure that I want it pub
publicly out there, the thing that
- Yeah, no.
- What happened to us.

She's not coming to school.
She has no friends left.
She doesn't even have her family left.
And it's all your fault.

I I just wanted to check
We had a deal. We stay

Yeah, exactly. It was just a mock fight.
Were you mock fighting?
- [WILHELM] Mm.
- Yeah.
[BORIS] You have to understand
that it's not just the school
that's concerned about this,
but also the Royal Court.
Because of that, we have decided
that the two of you are to attend
Well, what should I
call it? Mediation talks.
Here, with me. Once a week.
- What do you ? Both of us? No.
- [AUGUST] That's not necessary.
It It won't happen again,
Boris. You don't have to worry.
[BORIS] Great, but it's
already been decided.
You two seemed so close before.
And from what I've gathered,
you both had a very close
relationship to Erik.
- Not him. He didn't know Erik.

How did it go? Are you okay?
Uh, well
Good, uh
Look
Simon, uh
[SIGHS] This video that you posted
Yeah?
Uh, it's it's really
a nice thing but
But what?
[SIGHS]
But I just don't want
you to get a lot of crap for it.
No, me neither, but I can
post whatever I want, right?
Yeah, of course you can, but
I just don't want you to
[SCOFFS] You know, it's the lyrics.
People can interpret them
in all kinds of ways.
I don't want you to
become a bigger target.
I just sang.
And the lyrics just turned out that way.
I mean, people can view
it however they want,
but I don't think it's
wrong, standing up for us.
Yeah, and that's really
beautiful, but
everything you do represents
me and the royal family.
And it sucks, I know that.
But I just want us to be
able to have some privacy.

stuff like this on social media.

another threatening letter?
No, it's for Sara.
It's from Hillerska.
[SIMON] So?
[CLEARS THROAT]
I know that you are angry with her,
but I also know that you still care.
Mom, I've taken care of myself
and Sara since we were kids.
For her own good.
And I cut off all contact with
my own dad 'cause she hated him.
And now she's living with our dad.
So no. I'm done caring.
[LINDA] Simon.
[PLATES CLATTER]
[PEN SCRATCHING]
[MICKE] Mm. Okay.
Hey, your mom wants to talk to you.
[SIGHS]
You got a letter from, uh, Hillerska
saying that you will lose your place
if you don't come back next week.
And Mom wants you to move back home.
Okay.
And now I know.
You can tell her I'll
be staying here tonight.
[MICKE SIGHS] Did you get all that?
No, of course I won't.
[DOOR SLAMS]

I'd do something like that?

[STELLA] Listen, I have a question.
If we're gonna be forced
into the cold forest,
couldn't we turn it into a rave?
We've got shitloads of lights.
Oh my God, yeah.
Please! Come on. We can
bring speakers and like
Come on. We'll bring all
the lights we can find.
- [STELLA] My God, it's gonna be awesome!
- Felice.
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [MADISON] What's going on?
[FREDRIKA] That's the problem.
Nah, it's just the thing
that I'm gonna be interviewed.
I mean, I'm having a major
freak-out because of it.
It feels like the whole school's
future is depending on what I say.
[FREDRIKA] Well, it's kinda true.
But no pressure.
No, I mean, I'm just sort of jealous
because now you get to defend yourself.
The rest of us just get to read
all the shit that's being written,
and we can't even respond.
But a lot of what they're
saying is actually true.
I mean, the whole thing
the initiation thing
The third-years bossing
around the first-years.
Who is external and internal.
I've never thought about
it, not until now, anyway.
[FREDRIKA] Yeah, but what
the papers write sounds
so much worse than it actually is.
Have we really suffered that
much because we [SCOFFS]
that we run errands for third-years
or that we have to be
dinner monitors once a week?
Yeah, but it's more
serious stuff than that.
I mean, the things with
the guys and the porno. Mm.
You think that's true?
- Because that's fucked up.
- Yeah, but listen.
Yes, of course it is, but
at the same time, you can't close
down the school just because of that.
No, exactly.
I can only speak for
myself, but I thought
our initiation was great great fun.
Yeah, I mean, I thought our
initiation was really fun.
I just mean there's a clear hierarchy
and, uh, certain expectations
and peer pressure.
[SIGHS] It can be really difficult.
But I'm just saying, you know, if
you feel, like, so damn oppressed,
it's better to speak up when
you're still studying here
and not after your graduation
and start complaining then, right?
[SIGHS] But, I mean,
take this, for example.
Housemistress always tells me
