[bunniefuu]

[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.

- [knocking]
- [gasps]

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

- [music fades]
- [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]

[footsteps approaching]

[housemaster] Thank you.

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 h*m* 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 p*rn.

I mean, we didn't have a p*rn
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 f*ck'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 h*m* school.

We have diversity in every way.

- ♪ I don't gotta do what you tell me... ♪

- 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 f*ck.

[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]

[music teacher] Come in.

[students murmuring]

- [Wilhelm clears throat]
- [bright music playing]

[music teacher]
We have a new choir member.

[Wilhelm] Sorry I'm late.

- [music teacher] Welcome.
- [Wilhelm] Thank you.

[Simon, in English]
Did you really quit rowing?

[Wilhelm] Mm-hmm.

[Simon] Mm-hmm?

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]

And now I get to see you
outside of school.

- [Simon chuckles] Mm.
- Mm-hmm.

[both laugh]

[Simon chuckles] You're crazy.

[Wilhelm] Mm.

- [laughs]
- [softly] Come here.

- No. No, I'm gonna miss the bus.
- A little bit longer, please.

[chuckles] I'm gonna miss the bus.

- I have to go. Mom's gonna go crazy.
- Okay.

Bye.

See ya.

[tender music fades]

[sighs]

- [Fredrika] Ouch.
- 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 f*cking 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 in here...
so depressed,

and the whole world thinks
we're doing all these sick things.

[Stella] Mm!

[Fredrika] Mm.

[keyboard clacking]

[knocking on door]

- Yeah. Come in.
- [door opens]

Hi.

[August] Hi.

How, uh... how's it going?

[sighs] Yeah. It's...

it's going well
with this petition or whatever it'll be.

[Nils] Hey, uh...

August, that... initiation thingy...

It's been such a long time
since I thought about it, so...

It feels strange to...

[Nils] Mm. [sighs]

I can't talk to Vincent about that night
because he just calls it a joke.

Well, it was a joke.

[somber music playing]

But it wasn't a... 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.

Everyone knows. It's...

- Yeah, no. Me neither.
- [sighs] Good.

Good.

Okay, well, I'm off.

[sighs]

- See ya.
- Yeah.

- [housemaster] August!
- [ominous music fades]

Yep?

- The curfew started at 7:00 p.m.
- [sighs] Yeah.

I just have to go for a run. You know?

Or go to the gym to... clear my head.

I... I just need 30 minutes, tops.

You'll have to exercise before the curfew
or during scheduled hours.

[sighs] I understand that,
but my head's spinning, you know?

My... My brain is...

I won't be able to sleep a wink
if I don't get to release some...

Maybe you could do some yoga in your room?

She's still pretty.

[Vincent] The new principal? Well, mid?

Mid? Easily a seven with makeup.

- A five.
- A five?

- [Vincent] Coffee?
- Yeah, see you there.

[Vincent] Maybe a six,
if she wasn't such a bitch.

- [Felice] What? Are you done?
- [Stella] Yeah.

[Madison] We don't have
anything else to do.

[Felice] Yeah,
but we could just take a photo of hers.

- [Madison] Felice, we can't. Come on.
- [Stella] I'm not gonna write anything...

[Felice] Since when are you...

[teacher] Are you okay?

[August] Hi.

I just wanted to check... um...

how, um... [inhales sharply]

What?

[August] How, um...

is... Sara doing?

I don't want to interrupt. I...
I just wanted to know if she's... okay.

If she's okay?

Uh, yeah, um...

She's living with her dad,
who she totally hates.

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.

[August sighs]

- [Wilhelm] What did he want?
- He asked if Sara was okay.

- What the hell does he think?
- I'll be right back.

[clears throat]

August, what the hell
do you think you're doing?

I... I just wanted to check...

We had a deal.
We stay away from each other.

You're not to talk to him. Or her.

[scoffs] You can't decide
who I'm allowed to talk to...

[Wilhelm] You're not gonna talk.
You're not gonna look.

You're not even gonna breathe
anywhere near us.

You think you have power
'cause you're my spare, but you don't.

And do you?

Huh?

August, my family owns you.

You have to obey me.

No, I don't obey you.
I'm not working for you.

You're not the King yet.

It was a joke.

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.

- What did you say?

Yeah?

Uh, it's...
it's really a nice thing... but...

But what?

No, me neither,

Yeah, of course you can, but...

I just don't want you to...

Mom, I've taken care of myself

And now she's living... with our dad.

So no. I'm done caring.

[Micke] Mm. Okay.

Hey, your mom wants to talk to you.

saying that you will lose your place

And Mom wants you to move back home.

Okay.

And now I know.

You can tell her
I'll be staying here tonight.

No, of course I won't.

[Stella] Listen, I have a question.

If we're gonna be forced

couldn't we turn it into a rave?

We've got shitloads of lights.

Oh my God, yeah.

We can bring speakers and like...

- [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 sh*t 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 p*rn. Mm.

You think that's true?

- Because that's f*cked 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
to put my hair up when I forget.

But never you.

[sighs] I just mean that
it's not always easy to be the only...

[coach] Okay, guys. Let's divide
into groups of three, each tent.

- So girls with girls and boys with boys.
- [Wilhelm] What?

[Fredrika] What? Hey, there's four of us.

[coach] Okay, then one of you will have
to share a tent with two others.

Hold on. Pause.

If you are gay,
you're allowed to sleep with each other,

but not if you're straight?

[Valter] What girl would you be dating?

- No, I... I just meant in... in theory.
- [group laughs]

No, in theory.

- I mean...
- And what about the nonbinary ones?

- I'll just randomize it, then.
- [students complain]

[coach] Come on, now. Just work it out.

[murmuring continues]

Maybe we shoudn't share a tent.

What?

It just feels like they think
that we're gonna have sex.

No guy's gonna want to share
with us anyway.

Am I gonna sleep with Henry?

- No chance in hell.
- [laughs]

Uh, I mean, I... I could sleep with them.

- That would work.
- No, but we'll sort it out.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

[Fredrika] Okay.
If it's fine with you, okay. Sure.

Uh, guys...

Uh, could I sleep in your tent?

I mean, if that's okay.

Yeah, of course.

[guy] Do it.
Are we making the fire or something?

As long as he's happy

- Uh-huh.
- ["I Do" by JÁNA playing]

[Rosh] Hey, are you having a party?

- Marieberg is in the building!
- [Malin] Stop!

- Stop! Stop! Who are you?
- [Simon] What?

- [Rosh] I heard the music.
- [Simon] Rosh?

Hey, chill out. We come in peace, man.

Malin? Malin. It's okay.
They're... they're Simon's friends.

[Malin] Okay,
but no photos of the Crown Prince.

- Thank you.
- [Simon] sh*t, this is crazy.

[Rosh] I told you we were camping.

- Hi.
- [group] Hi.

- [Rosh] Is this your version of camping?
- Yeah. We're having a rave.

- [Ayub] Rave?
- [Wilhelm] Mm-hmm.

I mean...
so why's nobody dancing? [chuckles]

["Extreme Clubbing"

[dance music pulsing]

[music fades]

- [Fredrika] Thank you for coming with me.
- [Stella] Okay, be careful.

- [Fredrika] Sit down. Come on.
- Ah.

[girls laugh]

- [urinating]
- [grunts] Oh my God.

You know, Simon's friend...
isn't... isn't she a bit weird?

[Stella] You mean Rosh?

[Fredrika chuckles] I don't know her name.

[Stella] Uh, no. I thought she was cool.

[quietly] What?

[scoffs] Okay.

- [Madison] Who has the tissues?
- [Stella] Uh, hold on.

Just hold on a bit.

What... What are your plans
for the summer?

Uh, not much. I'm probably
just gonna chill with Simme in Bjärstad.

[Wilhelm] Nice. And you, Rosh?

Yeah, I'm gonna be, like,
an instructor at a soccer camp for kids.

- Oh, that's fun.
- Yeah, great fun.

And intense.
They're like six to ten years old.

Oh my God, cuteness overload.

[Ayub] And you?

Um, we're actually going to New York.

- [Stella] Mm.
- [Fredrika] Have you been?

[Rosh] To New York?

[Fredrika] Yeah. Or to the US?

No. [laughs]

- [Fredrika] Never?
- [Rosh] No.

[Fredrika] 'Cause it's like Stella's
and my biggest interest, to travel and...

Uh, I'm also gonna work this summer.

Like you.

[Rosh] Oh, cool.

[Wilhelm] I mean, I'm gonna,
um... attend a course. Some studies.

The whole summer, through the Royal Court.
It's also gonna be... pretty intense.

[tense music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

- [Malin] The hell?
- [guy 1] Look. It's only of her.

- What the hell?
- [Malin] Give it.

[guy 1] Give me my f*cking phone back!

- Don't want you filming the Crown Prince.
- The Crown Prince?

What are you talking about?

Well, you could have figured out
that with your ass that was gonna happen.

[Valter] Exactly.

- [girl] What are they doing?
- [guy] Easy.

[Henry] Of course.

[guy 1] Just look at the pictures.
It's only sh*ts of her.

What's the big deal?

Can I have my phone back? Thanks.

[guy 3] Let's get the f*ck out of here.
Come on.

I, uh, think it might be best
that you go back to your own camp now.

[guy 2] Yeah.

[Ayub] Thank you. Bye-bye.

It was nice of you to drop by. Sorry.

- [guy 1] Yeah, she took my f*cking phone.
- [guy 2] Oops.

[guy 3] Let's roll.

[Fredrika] Come on,
imagine not having been to the US.

[Henry] No, they were just...
They just took it.

[Valter] Yeah, I know.

[Fredrika] How was I supposed
to know that she hasn't been to the US?

[Wilhelm] What was I supposed to do?
Tell them to get lost or something?

It wasn't the right time
for everyone to meet.

No, okay. It was a bit tense,
but the next time, then we'll just...

Wille, you can't just say
that you're gonna work this summer.

You're going to a prince school.
That's not the same thing.

It's totally the same thing.

The difference is
that I didn't get to choose like Rosh.

Wille, we have to work
to be able to afford things.

You get everything for free.
You get clothes. You get travels.

You get... You get whatever you want.

[Wilhelm sighs]

Me and Ayub have had to apply for jobs
since we were 14. Every year.

- You can't talk about choosing and...
- Shh!

[indistinct chatter nearby]

People can hear us.

It sounds like we're fighting.

What do you mean, "we" and "you"?

Shouldn't we... So we can't hang out?

Because some of us get clothes
from their parents and some don't?

Is that what you mean?

You don't understand
how privileged you are sometimes.

I don't understand that.

So Rosh and Ayub know
how much money August gave you, right?

[tent zipper opens]

[Felice] Should I turn off the lights?

Hello?

Hi. It's Dad.

Yeah, I... I can hear that. What's...

I'm just calling to tell you

that your mother
will have to take some time off.

What?

Nobody wanted it, but the doctor insisted.

And she's in bad shape.

This year, after Erik
and everything that happened after that...

Is it... my fault?

- No, no, no.
- [tense music playing]

It's nobody's fault, Wilhelm.

She's just very, very sad.

But she's...

she's gonna get better, right?

How long will she be off her duties?

We don't know yet.

We just have to hope that things
will move in the right direction

as this, of course, mustn't get out.

And it means that you'll have
to be strong now, Wilhelm.

That you'll be ready.
