[BIRDS SINGING]

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

[FELICE] So he just left?

Didn't stay the night or anything?

[WILHELM] No.

[SIGHS] But is it really over for real?

It... it feels like you
two are never truly over.

Did he say he wasn't in
love with you, or... ?

No, he didn't say that, but...

[SIGHS]

I don't know. You
should've seen his face.

He really meant it.

And he's right. I
mean, I understand him.

I have to take responsibility
for my own problems.

I can't drag him down with me.

[SNIFFLES]

[FELICE] Here.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHING]

[WILHELM] Thanks.

[WATER RUNNING]

Hey.

- [SIMON] Hi.
- How are you?

Were you able to get some sleep?

[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]

I think I'll skip school today.

Mm. I just cannot take meeting him.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

[SIMON SIGHS]

Uh, is Dad here?

[GENTLE MUSIC FADES]

[BIRDS SINGING]

[SARA] "I'm sorry. I love you both."

"I want you to take the car."

"Discover the world."

"Love, Dad."

I guess you were right all along.

We shouldn't have had
any contact with him.

You just get disappointed.

I'm not so sure.

I think...

I think that you've
been right all along.

You dare to give people a second chance.

That's so brave.

Or just stupid.

We will never change.

[SARA] Maybe.

But that doesn't mean that
I don't want him in my life.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

[SARA] Maybe some people
never get things right.

But that doesn't mean
that you don't need them.

[DOOR OPENS]

[LINDA, IN SPANISH] What's this?

[IN ENGLISH] Dad gave me his car.

- [IN SPANISH] What?
- [IN ENGLISH] Yeah.

Sure you're not going to school
today? I can drive you if you like.

I'm sure.

[IN SPANISH] See? She'll be fine.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[LINDA, IN ENGLISH] You will too.

Mm.

[BIRDS CONTINUE SINGING]

[RAMIREZ] Where did our eternity go?

How did we forget its holy secret?

Our day became too short

We strive in spasms

In battle, we shape a work

That will be eternal

- And its essence is time
- [CHATTERING]

But still, timeless drops fall...

- [VANESSA] Ramirez?
- Yeah?

- [VANESSA] Could I have a word?
- Yeah, sure.

- Um, Sara, can you continue?
- [MAN] I'll fix that.

- [VANESSA] Good.
- [SARA] But still, timeless drops

Fall in our arms

- A time when we are absent from goals...
- Well...

Hold on. Be quiet, quiet.

- [STUDENTS MURMURING]
- Sara, do you know where Simon is?

He's at home. He's skipping school.

- [FREDRIKA] Is there some kind of drama?
- [STELLA] This is serious.

I'm afraid I'm gonna
have to stop the lesson.

Uh, and, in fact, the
entire day is cancelled.

Uh, the Board of Education
has made a decision.

They've banned Hillerska from operating.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

[GIRL 1] What's going on?

- [GIRL 2] Wait.
- [MADISON] But why?

[SPLUTTERS] I'm just
as shocked as you are.

[GIRL 3] I can't believe this.

What I want you to do right now is
to go back to your student dorms.

There, you will get more information.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

"Hillerska has received several
warnings over the last ten years,

and it has become evident to us

that they haven't acted forcefully
enough to stop systemic abuse."

How is it not forceful enough?
They've taken away everything fun.

Well done, Crown Prince!

What do you mean?

You gave one damn speech, and
now the whole school has to close.

- It must be some kind of record.
- It's not just about me.

- It's in the walls of this place.
- It's in the walls? Okay.

"Many of the current
students testify that."

Who of us in here had a talk
with the School Inspectorate?

Huh? Really! Who the f*ck in here
talked to the School Inspectorate?

Why are you looking at me?

Because you've been interviewed
and refuse to talk about it.

Just tell us word for
word. What did you say?

But it wasn't me. They said, "Several."

And how they had warnings for ten years.

- Listen!
- I haven't said anything.

- There's nothing to change.
- You're being so defensive!

- Can we go through something?
- [FELICE] Defensive?

I haven't said anything!

[VINCENT] It was some damn bastard!

Hey! You, just shut
up! Shut the f*ck up!

[OVERLAPPING, INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

[SHOUTING INTENSIFIES]

[SHOUTING] Can you all please shut up?

Shut up!

[UNCOMFORTABLE SILENCE]

Can you stop blaming each other?

It's over! The end!

[SNIFFLES] Yeah, it's... it's sad. Yeah.

But can't we just f*cking
acknowledge that it's...

[SOBS, UNDER BREATH] f*ck.

[SOBS] f*ck.

- [SNIFFLES]
- Um, I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, guys. I lost it a bit.

Everyone's upset... It's...

[AUGUST SOBS, MUTTERS]

[HOUSEMISTRESS] We have been
allowed to keep the school open

until the end of the term.

But the way it looks right now, we
won't be opening again this autumn.

What?

[HOUSEMISTRESS] This also means that
you will have to empty your rooms,

take all your personal
belongings home for the summer,

and say goodbye to your schoolmates.

I'm really sorry.

It's a total f*cking nightmare.
It's all sh*t. [SNIFFLES]

[NILS] Hey, August.

[SOUNDS FADE]

[SOMBER MUSIC SWELLS]

[SPEAKING INAUDIBLY]

[REPORTER ON TV] Improprieties
which have led

to Hillerska's boarding school having
to close with immediate effect.

- Oh, sh*t.
- It's totally crazy.

... a couple of hours ago,

and we will soon talk more
about what this means.

So, what are we gonna do now?

[SARA SIGHS]

Well, maybe Mom's right when
she says that we should move.

You always wanted to live
in a bigger city anyway,

and we have family in Gothenburg.

Seriously? Gothenburg?

It's the worst city in the
world. You can't leave Bjärstad.

I don't know. Maybe it's not
such a bad idea after all.

What do you mean? You could
just start in Marieberg, right?

- [AYUB] Exactly.
- [SIMON SIGHS]

[SIGHS] I mean, if that's
what you want, that's okay.

I'll be just fine.

I know, but it would be nice
to start over from scratch.

For me as well.

What, is this some kind
of escape from Wille?

He won't stay in Bjärstad.

No, exactly. This is your town.

No, but... everything around
here still reminds me of him.

[ROSH] Simon, we get it.

- [AYUB] Yeah, you have a lot going on.
- [ROSH] Mm-hmm.

[AYUB] The school, if
you're gonna move, Wille...

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

[FARIMA ON PHONE] Wilhelm, you
don't have to worry about this.

We have already drawn up alternative
plans for the autumn term.

Your Norwegian relatives have all been

very happy at the École Chantecler.

We'll make a statement
regarding the new school

when everything is ready.

Yeah. So, what... what do
Mom and Dad have to say?

The Queen's health has taken a
turn for the worse the last days,

so they've been focusing on that.

But I'll really try to make sure

that they can attend the
closing ceremony, Wilhelm.

And then you go directly
from there to Solliden,

where the Queen can focus on
resting and sort this out.

Of course you'll be thinking about
this, but you will be all right.

CRISIS

[SOMBER MUSIC FADES]

- [VINCENT] To Hillis.
- [NILS] To Hillis.

[AUGUST] Cheers to Hillis.

♪ We cut 'em open, the... ♪

[NILS SIGHS]

♪ Eyes open, red... ♪

[NILS] So, you wanna do something?

We can't just sit here being depressed.

Let's arrange a party.

- Yeah. A huge f*ckin' party. Right?
- [VINCENT] Absolutely.

I mean, we got loads of
booze left after the dinner.

[AUGUST] It'll be depressing, right?

It'll be like a funeral.

- It can't be more depressing than it is.
- [AUGUST] No.

I mean, if we're the last
Hillis students to graduate,

we'll have to do it
with some g*dd*mn balls.

Show them where we stand.

- Awesome.
- [NILS] One last party at the palace.

- Exactly. Awesome.
- [NILS] A complete blowout. Awesome.

I have to be a bit careful now. I
can't risk any chaos or some sh*t.

What? Things are the way they are.

- Everything's sh*t.
- [AUGUST] Mm.

[NILS] Or what do you mean?

[CLICKS TONGUE]

Well, I...

I am Wille's backup.

I mean, not just in
the line of succession.

But I... I also get to take part
in the royal family's actual work.

I'll even get an official title.

- Oh, sh*t.
- Yeah.

Damn. That's tough.

- [BOTH LAUGH]
- [NILS] Yeah, that doesn't sound too fun.

- But it's an honor.
- Well, yeah, sure.

But I mean, you had the...
like, the perfect position.

You were on the inside, but
you had no responsibilities.

- [NILS] Chill.
- [VINCENT] Exactly.

You could party in the background,
and you only got the benefits.

But now... now... now
they... they own you.

Damn. That's depressing, August.

I mean, you want to
be close to the royals,

but you don't want to be one.

[HESITATES] Which is...
is really great for us.

- In fact.
- [NILS] Yeah, it's great for us.

- [VINCENT] Yeah.
- [AUGUST SIGHS]

[NILS] It's f*cking fantastic for us.

We can just focus on arranging parties.

Drink, booze, and party like hell.

[VINCENT] It's perfect.

Hi.

How are you?

Um, I... I...

I feel...

empty.

And scared.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

How are you?

[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]

Uh, I... I don't know. I feel
like everything is just so weird.

That, um, the school
is closing and stuff.

Everything hasn't been
that great, but, um...

but it has meant a lot.

Anyway.

[WILHELM SIGHS DEEPLY]

Simon, I just want to, uh, say that...

Uh, I just want to...

[SIGHS] I just want to say that...

Hi. Uh, what are you wearing tonight?

I mean, I have literally
cleaned out my entire wardrobe,

and the only white thing I
have is this, and it's gray.

Uh, I haven't quite... I haven't...

uh, figured out how I'm gonna sneak out.

So I... I don't know
if I'm... if I'm coming.

- [HENRY] Okay.
- I don't know if I can come either.

[HENRY] Come on. You two have to come!

It's gonna be epic. We've got some wine.

We got booze, loads of sh*ts.

And lots of other stuff.

Yeah, we'll see. I have to go now.

[HENRY] The point is,
we have to be together.

This is the only night we have together.

Maybe ever.

We're like brothers.

[SIGHS] No, me neither, really,
but what else are we gonna do?

[CLICKS TONGUE]

We could stay here and
feel like crap together.

Hey, surely, it can't be that bad.

[SIGHS, CLICKS TONGUE]

No.

No, it's actually not that bad.

Except that I've lost
the love of my life,

and I've... got the
whole school to close.

And I've said all those things that
I shouldn't have said to my mom,

which will probably make
me king at the age of 18.

But, no, you're right.
It's probably not that bad.

In that case, you should
really try to let loose tonight.

Have some fun.

Come on.

I've also brought some,
uh, motivation, so to speak.

Le Blanc?

[CHUCKLES]

It's our last night.

We're gonna have a sh*t
ton of fun together.

- [GRUNTS]

[HUMMING DANCE b*at]

We have to get you changed. This...

- But why?
- Wille, it's a white party.

End of discussion.

But, uh, how are we gonna do this?

Are we gonna jump out the window or... ?

- I could always kung fu kick the guards.
- You know what? Malin, can you come in?

[DOOR OPENS]

[WILHELM] Hi. Listen. I'm
gonna go to this party tonight.

And I know Erik did
worse things in his day.

But I'm thinking that
you both come along.

You could keep a reasonable distance

and make sure I don't get into trouble.

I won't have to sneak
out. It's a win-win. Okay?

[SIMON] Yeah, but Wille might be there.

I mean, I don't know if
I can stand seeing him.

It was really tough
seeing him at school today.

[ROSH] Yeah, you told us.

And well, if you feel that you
have said everything you want to say

and really have gotten closure,
then... then you don't have to go.

[SIMON] Yeah, but how do you know?

[ROSH] What do you mean?

[SIMON] I mean, closure.

How do you know if you've got that?

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah, well, I guess you just know.

And you know if you haven't.

That you had to go through that thing.

At your initiation.

And I'm truly sorry that
it was Erik who did it.

a lot of others
involved. [CHUCKLES SADLY]

And for Simon and for myself.

that the school is closing.

[IN SPANISH] Wait, wait.

[IN ENGLISH] Maybe I should
have taken the day off.

No, Mami, it's okay.

- [IN SPANISH] We're grown-ups now.

A round of applause for
our graduating students.

[LOUD CHEERS]

Today is a rather
different day in many ways.

We share the same sorrow
and the same worries.

But let today be a day filled with joy.

With joined forces, we will appeal

against the decision of
the School Inspectorate.

Which means the fight for
Hillerska's future is far from over.

- [STUDENTS CHEER]
- [VINCENT] Bravo!

[GUY] Whoo-hoo!

[VINCENT] You're the best!

- [NILS] Great!
- [VINCENT] Good!

And to honor our graduating students,

let us join together
and sing the Hillis song.

And we can only hope that
it won't be the last time.

Please go ahead.

[IN ENGLISH] I really
didn't expect you to show up.

But thanks. I...

[SIGHS] Wilhelm...

You... you were right.

I wasn't there when you needed me.

And, uh... yes, I want to... I
want to ask for your forgiveness.

I should have... sought
help much earlier.

But now I have, and I... [SIGHS]

Well, it's my duty as a mother, and I...

[SIGHS]

I really hope that I can

be there for you now.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

Can you forgive me, Wilhelm?

[QUEEN] Mm.

My little boy.

[SNIFFLES]

[DUKE] Everything will be fine, son.

- [QUEEN] August.
- Well, I say...

- [AUGUST] Hi!
- Congratulations.

- Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- On your graduation.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- [DUKE] We have this...
- [AUGUST] Is that for me?

- There you go.
- [QUEEN LAUGHS]

- There.
- [AUGUST] My goodness, how nice.

- Thank you so much. Ah...
- [QUEEN] Don't mention it. It was nothing.

[DUKE] Now, the important
question. Your grades?

[AUGUST] Well, they could be better.

But I'm... I'm happy. I'm really happy.

- [QUEEN] Nice.
- Congrats.

- Thanks.
- [DUKE] How about your nerves?

I mean, I don't think I've ever
had such a rapid heart rate.

I mean, it's a big day today.
I'm still up in the clouds.

[DUKE] I don't remember a
thing from my own graduation.

[AUGUST LAUGHS] I only go for
nonalcoholic drinks, of course.

- [DUKE] Yes. But of course.
- [AUGUST] I'm a good boy.

[WILHELM] Simon?

I just wanted to say thanks.

For the song.

[SIMON SIGHS]

I really love it.

Even though it was sad and...

and that everything was in vain.

That we gave up.

Nothing was in vain.

And I never gave up on us.

I gave up on the royal family.

Goodbye, Simon.

Goodbye.

I hope you have a nice summer.

Thanks, Wille.

You too.

[SIGHS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- [MADISON] Did you bring your passports?
- [FREDRIKA] Yeah.

But it feels like I've
forgotten something.

Felice, the taxi will
be here in five minutes.

New York, baby!

Grab your bags. We're
just gonna say bye, okay?

- Absolutely.
- [STELLA] Hurry up!

- [FREDRIKA] New York, baby!
- [STELLA LAUGHS]

Hi.

Hi. [GRUNTS]

How's it going?

[LAUGHS]

[FELICE] Is it yours?

[SARA] Mm.

Where are you going?

Home.

And you're off to New York?

I don't really know.

[SARA] You don't know?

[SIGHS] No.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I don't really know
if a trip to New York

was what I needed when
I was the most upset

about what happened between us.

They were friends who threw money
at the problem instead of listening.

I needed someone I could be honest with,

and that's not always easy with them.

But it is with you.

They're probably right that New York
is a bit more fun than Bjärstad.

[BOTH LAUGH]

But you have a car. You
can go somewhere else.

Like where?

Anywhere.

LOCK UP YOUR SONS

[MALIN ON RADIO] We have
a traffic jam ahead of us.

[LIVVAKT] Copy that.

[DANCE MUSIC BLASTING OUTSIDE]

[QUEEN] I'm so proud of you.

[DUKE] We both are.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY, GRUNTS]

[QUEEN SNIFFLES]

Well, it has been a...

a brutal year, to say the least.

But you made it.

- From rock bottom.
- [WILHELM PANTING]

Can we turn up the AC? Please.

Wilhelm, one day, you will be
an amazing king. I know that.

BOW TO US, AVERAGE JOES!

What happens if I don't want that?

But, please.

Please, not today.

- We have talked about this...
- No, I don't want to upset you, Mom.

I... That's the last thing I want.

And I understand that you have
problems taking me seriously

'cause I've said it before, and
it's stemmed from frustration

and I've been impulsive.

But you also haven't let me have
an honest conversation about this.

[QUEEN] I mean, I understand
that you may have doubts

and that there are mixed feelings.

And God knows that it
was the same for me.

But, I mean... [SIGHS]

... there must be a worse fate
to be assigned than this one.

Yes, but that's the problem.

We have... been assigned this.

We... haven't chosen it.

Nobody's chosen. The
people haven't chosen.

And I can tell how it makes you feel.

And how it makes you feel.

I used to think that
at least Erik was happy,

but I... I don't think he was.

I... I can understand
that the thing with Simon

has been life-changing for you.

It's not about him.

It's not about Simon, Mom. It's...

it's this role.

It's always been this role
that's been the problem.

For me.

[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah.

I know that you think
I'm gonna change my mind,

but I'm not going to.

I... don't want this.

[AUGUST CHEERING OUTSIDE]

If you believe in monarchy,

if you think that it's important

that you're born into the right
family, that this is right...

then that is the heir for you.

And I understand that you're
disappointed, but it's the truth.

[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]

Could you open the door?

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

I love you...

[STUDENTS CHANTING]

[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Let him go.

[STUDENTS CHEERING]

[WILHELM] Simon!

Simon!

Simon!

Stop!

[PANTING] Simon! Simon.

Simon!

[WIND GUSTING]

[ENERGETIC MUSIC FADES]

[DOOR CLOSES]

I don't want to be king.

Or Crown Prince.

I just told Mom.

[GENTLE MUSIC RESUMES]

She's...

she's fine with that. [CHUCKLES]

[SIMON SIGHS]

Did... [TAKES A DEEP BREATH]

... did you do it for my sake?

No.

For my own sake.

I want to be with you, Simon.

[SIMON CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Are you sure you're over me?

What the hell do you think?
