Crown Prince.
We thought you should sit at the end.
Here. Exactly.
Simon and his mom will sit here.
This won't last very long.
- I think it'll soon be over. - Yeah, yeah.
- Did you take the pills? - Yes.
- Do you want some water? - No, I'm fine.
Come here, darling.
Button up your shirt to look more reliable.
Please.
Yes, we have gathered here today
because of the so-called intimate video clip.
The consequences of this video have been devastating for the two plaintiffs,
his Highness Crown Prince Wilhelm and Simon Eriksson.
However, a trial would significantly
worsen the current media situation.
We would like to, together with you, discuss the possibility of a settlement.
Yes, we have drawn up a proposal for compensation for the two plaintiffs.
That said, I'd like to emphasize
that my client would be giving up a lot by entering into this settlement.
In a trial, the evidence and the testimonies
would not have secured a conviction.
The question is, if the video would even be considered explicit.
Excuse me?
To show someone kissing someone of the same sex,
being gay,
isn't something meant to portray someone as disreputable these days.
- The video is relatively innocent. - Innocent? How can you say that?
Mom, please...
He tried to destroy their lives.
After the prince's speech,
Nordisk motståndsrörelse came to Bjärstad and burnt pride flags.
People call us in the middle of the night.
We get hate mail to our home!
I want justice for my son!
Can we take a break? I want to confer with my client.
Yes, we'll take a short break.
We'll have to talk about that next time. Exactly. Yes, okay, bye.
Hey, come on. This will be just fine.
It's not that easy when they look at me like I'm some damn...
shitty person.
Okay. Yes, you are a shitty person.
It can feel good to accept that sometimes, that you are a shitty person, right?
- Do you see me as a shitty person? - No.
Do you think that I'm evil?
No, absolutely not.
August, you have to admit
that it's pretty ironic that you, of all the shitty people,
have become a threat to the crown.
I love the monarchy.
But the important question is, does the monarchy love you?
The Royal House doesn't want to take this to court.
So you're alone against August and his lawyer,
one of Sweden's best.
The offer is very generous.
So, what is he willing to pay?
1.2 million.
I didn't come to Sweden
to teach my kids to accept bribes.
I understand that, but this could get nasty.
They will dig up all kinds of crap.
They're like a clan.
It's mafia strategies.
I just want this to be over.
Wille said that he will have to sell his dad's mansion to pay us
and that's the worst punishment August could get.
I can't take it anymore.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Hi.
I can't believe you're here.
Me neither.
I just wish it wasn't
for this reason.
No, this isn't how I imagined it would be.
How did you imagine it would be?
I can...
show you.
Okay. Come on.
But Mom...
What?
Mom.
They won't start without us, Simon.
Come on.
Cozy.
Was this how you imagined it?
No.
This is better.
Crown Prince, we have to resume.
We'll be right there.
So, our proposal is that we go through the agreement section by section
and if either party needs to make any changes,
we'll enter them one by one before we sign it.
Excuse me, but we're done here.
I'm not going to teach my kids that some people are exempt from the law.
I agree that it is important that we teach our kids that you can't escape the law.
But 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.
Or the Crown Prince
for threatening August's life with a rifle.
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.
But in exchange for August's silence,
not to mention the generous financial compensation to the parties,
we'll need assurance from the Royal Family
that August is next in line to the throne after the Crown Prince.
But it doesn't matter if you have a title.
You won't be part of my family.
Look at me!
If you think I'm letting you take over, forget it!
You won't have to let me.
No?
- Nope. - Why not?
With your track record, you'll fuck it up all on your own.
So, I'm the one fucking up? Huh?
Your problems started long before me. You know that.
Oh yeah?
I'm not the one known for beating people up.
- You know what? You're a disgusting-- - Stop it!
HILLERSKA SCHOOL
It's all signed now and we'll have to put this behind us.
Yes, Mom, but--
Wilhelm, I don't expect you to forgive August.
I don't even expect you to like each other.
But we can't have more of these scandals.
Especially not involving the two of you.
What do you think
Erik would have said if he had seen you act this way?
Erik would've never forgiven him.
You'll soon turn 17. In a year,
you have to be able to take over after me.
Do you understand?
Do you get that?
This isn't some kind of game.
I promise, Your Majesty.
Both Wilhelm and I will behave.
For Erik, if nothing else.
If you stay away from me, I'll do the same.
Oh God...
God...
Help!
Should I...
Breathe.
- Get someone! - Yes.
Erik!
Erik.
We should go on a trip.
Please, let's go somewhere!
It's sun and spring one day, snow the next. What the fuck?
Screw this country.
Yeah, who isn't?
She's been wearing the same sweatpants for days. It's totally insane.
Am I totally insane if I say that I think she should stop whining already?
Come on, I'm sorry, but... Yes, Sara was a snake. Get over it.
She didn't get dumped. That would be different.
- But, no. - Yes.
- Hi, hon. - Good morning.
Good morning.
How you doing?
Hang on!
Come on, stop exaggerating.
You could have warned me!
Fifty points.
Fifty points. Hey, it's my ear.
It's the third year's point hunt! They have so much to look forward to.
They have the 50 days party, Valborg, the comedy show...
The graduation dash, receptions, and they're arranging the trucks...
The last annual dinner with the teachers.
COMING BACK TODAY
You're looking forward to that?
It's cozy. They're sweet.
Who are you texting?
I'VE MISSED YOU
Wille's coming back today.
No!
That's huge, right?
Okay.
It's the first time we've seen him since the anniversary.
I mean, he...
How's Simon and him going to, like...
What will they do?
Are they a couple now? I mean, for real?
Can I have an honest and open conversation with you?
About your relationship.
I won't stop seeing Simon.
No, nobody is saying that,
but I think that if we use this situation right,
it can help us modernize the monarchy's image
as a natural part of a tolerant Sweden.
You'll create a whole new generation of royalists.
That's why we have to focus on your work.
We'll launch a charity in your name on your 17th birthday.
This will be your first official task as Crown Prince.
J-O and I have drawn up a schedule for the summer.
We can see it as a kind of Crown Prince school
to make up for everything you haven't been prepared for.
We only see one potential risk in all of this.
That Simon won't understand that everything he does reflects on you.
It affects the entire Royal House.
He can't talk to journalists under any circumstances.
Simon won't talk to journalists, don't worry.
This also applies to his social media.
He has to lay low right now.
Do you understand?
Yes, I understand what you mean.
But I've got it under control.
You don't have to worry about that.
Okay.
Good.
"Crown Prince school..."
Pee into this.
- What? - I just want to make sure.
Do you think I'm on drugs? I didn't touch those pills.
And you are grounded for the rest of the semester.
Come home straight after school. Don't be out there a minute longer.
This is totally unfair!
I made a mistake, but it was to help Sara. It went wrong--
How am I supposed to know that, Simon? How?
Apparently, I know nothing!
You never tell me what's going on in this house!
I don't know my kids anymore.
You should be grateful that I don't force you to quit Hillerska.
It's enough to have one kid staying at home.
What's going on?
- How did it go at the palace? - Sara!
This is all your fault!
I reported August to show you that I'm on your side.
You should have talked to me first!
Now you've made things worse!
You refused to talk to me.
Please, could you just not be here?
Please, you've destroyed my life,
and now I'm being humiliated in my own fucking home!
Go!
Leave!
I'm hoping for craziness at the party.
The guy who broke his arm? That was the party.
No, that was the points hunt. On some mission.
- Hi. - Hi.
Where have you been?
I've just been at home. I had to sort out some stuff with the family.
I picked up some stuff.
What the hell?
What?
That damn reporter is at it again.
- About the Crown Prince? - After the speech.
Soon they'll have asked half the school for a statement.
They're asking about other stuff as well, things from ages ago.
Like what?
About the initiations and stuff.
- What? - What?
People know they can't talk about that.
Forget it. They're just trying to find an opening, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
But it's just weird.
What do the initiations have to do with Wille's speech?
Hi.
50 DAYS PARTY
- Hi. - Hi.
How are you?
I'm fine now.
How are you?
Fine.
It's just weird. Everybody's staring.
Never mind that.
But it's making me uncomfortable.
Isn't this what we wanted?
Yeah.
Is your family really going to be okay with that?
And the court?
They just want us to keep a low profile for a while.
I...
I've told them
that I'm going to be both the Crown Prince
and your boyfriend.
Okay.
If you want to,
you could
sleep here this weekend.
I'm grounded.
- The whole semester. - The whole semester?
Mom's really mad.
- Damn it! - But...
You could sleep at my place instead.
Or I'll just have to sneak out.
Would you do that for me?
Good.
Then it's settled.
Yeah, get us booze.
Well, yeah, sure. It's just for the third years.
Who has two years left? Two years left!
Okay? Get it?
50 DAYS PARTY!
HILLERSKA'S POINT HUNT
But look.
- We'll work all night. - We want a full score. Then we'll go.
Manor House's in the lead. We're tied with Sprucewood.
If we want a chance to win the point hunt, we need more 50 pointers.
So, we have to tattoo "Hillerska 4 life" on our arms,
take a selfie in a police car,
dance semi-naked in a public place,
sext a teacher,
pierce a nipple, Marre, that's you.
Okay, what's left?
Sleep with a freshman, maybe...
That one fits you, August. That'll be really easy.
The only question is who to choose, Felice or Sara.
- You didn't think we knew? - Shut up.
Come on, two best friends. That's a real fuckboy move.
Shut up!
Oh, sensitive topic.
Are you in love?
Well, I mean, it's not all bad.
You and Wille can sit together on the bus to the slums.
Don't talk about her like that!
Okay?
Okay. I was only kidding.
- Nice, huh? - Really nice.
I think you should get this tattooed.
Mom would decapitate me if I did.
- Why? - I'm not allowed to get tattoos.
Why?
Same reason I can't cut my hair shorter than this.
It's not proper.
It's really nice, but I can't. I'm sorry.
- Hello. - Hi.
- How are you? - Fine. And you?
Yeah.
Well, you know...
Things are a bit so-so right now.
Right.
Could you give this to Sara?
I didn't know what to do with it, so...
Sure.
How...
How is she doing?
She's...
not doing great, I guess.
But I'm not really talking to her right now.
You know, it's so strange because I am really...
I'm so angry with her.
But in some sick twisted way, I still miss her.
But I can't talk to the other girls.
They think it's degrading to miss someone who has fucked you over in that way.
Well, it is degrading.
But yes, I see what you mean.
But it's also like, how...
How do you get over your best friend?
Hi, Simon Eriksson?
I have a few questions for you.
How have you been since the Crown Prince came out?
We've been hearing some rumors about homophobia.
Your ex, Marcus Sköld, he said
that you and the Crown Prince seemed to be having some problems.
Care to comment on that?
Simon?
Okay, here it is.
"As late as February, the Crown Prince's boyfriend
was seen with another young man
at Hillerska's annual Valentine's ball."
"'So you wonder how serious it is,' says a source close to the family."
"When we got a hold of the ex, he says
the relationship between the Crown Prince and Simon Eriksson seems problematic."
Problematic? I mean, you weren't even together.
No.
Should we go and talk to him?
The worst thing isn't what Marcus says, but what people write.
Have you read the comments?
People are crazy online. They wouldn't say it IRL.
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.
I just wish that he had said something before he said all that.
I'd have been able to prepare myself a bit.
But have you told him that?
No, it would just sound silly.
What would I say?
"Thank you for...
standing up for me and admitting it was you in the video..."
Now I'm getting all this shit.
Yeah, I get it, but he has a habit of doing things a bit like, I don't know...
He's a bit impulsive.
I don't know.
It's better if I keep an eye on it,
and reply to some comments, and keep everything in check,
so people get who I am and where I stand.
- Wanna play? - Yes.
Ready?
LOL REAL LATINO LOVER
@SIMON OBVIOUSLY ISN'T SERIOUS
I'm not going to that.
YOU DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT ME
What? Why? I'm going to hike. I'm going paddling.
Can you even swim?
I can swim really well. I'm like a shark in the water.
Hi, you have reached Simon. You know what to do.
YOU DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT ME
THAT YOU READ COMMENTS AND ANSWER SAYS IT ALL
LOL WE KNOW WHAT YOU FAGS ARE LIKE #SERIALDATER
IGNORE THE COMMENTS THEY'RE NOT WORTH IT
This is worth 50 points.
This is 50 points.
That's really mature.
Damn, you look ridiculous.
Yeah, that was fun.
Is that all right?
So great.
Yeah, so do it. You're hesitating?
Take over.
Wille?
Hi.
How are you?
Fine. And you?
I'm fine.
I just wanted to say,
I probably wouldn't have done the same,
but I still think it was brave.
Foolish,
but brave.
Thanks.
Hey.
- You were here when Erik was here. - Yes.
We never spoke very much about love and relationships and so on,
but I was wondering if you knew if he was dating anyone here.
Maybe you should ask August.
- No. - I mean, they were close.
I was just wondering how he fucking handled it all.
I wish I could ask him.
Here's the deal.
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.
- Do you regret saying that it was you? - No. Why would I regret that?
I don't know.
It might be best to stick to someone in the inner circle.
No, not for me.
Okay, sorry.
Sara?
Can I sleep here?
Yes, of course.
Come on in.
Has something... happened?
- I just can't be at home right now. - What--
I don't want to talk about it.
And this doesn't mean that things between us are fine.
Well, you're always welcome here.
Let me fix the bedroom for you.
No need.
I'll sleep on the couch. It's only temporary.
For what?
I know that it's hard with Sara.
We know that, but...
Sweetie, it's time to get over her already.
Step one is clearing up this mess. What is this?
And if that doesn't help,
I'm sure this will.
What's this?
I read a list of the best ways to get over someone.
One of the most important things is having something to look forward to.
I mean, we're gonna... We're gonna shop, we're gonna party...
We'll get tanned.
We're going to get tanned. We're going clubbing.
I mean, what?
We wanted to remind you who your real friends are.
It'll be so fun!

"Then a gay porno was shown."

"The Crown Prince mentioned breaking outdated traditions."
"He inspired me to dare to talk about what happened there."
Well done, Wille.
Attention!
Assembly in the great hall, right now.
All lessons are canceled.
Get going.
- Hi. - Hi.
Is it true?
Did it happen to you?
No, not the movie.
Or, not to us.
What about the other stuff?
Good morning.
You may sit down.
Who is she?
My name is Vanessa Hamilton and I'm the acting principal.
Anette Lilja is on leave
until the veracity of the allegations in the media has been assessed.
A complaint has been filed with the Schools Inspectorate.
Because of that, we have decided that it is time for us to get tough.
- All extracurricular activities end today. - What?
The point hunt is canceled.
It's already started.
And your cell phones will be confiscated.
Damn it! For real?
But you may use them one hour a day.
There will be a curfew
from 7 p.m. for all students.
Hold on, what?
What? Complete?
If anyone is found outside of their dorm
while the curfew is in effect,
or is found drinking alcohol or using nicotine for that matter,
it will result in immediate suspension.
You've got to be kidding.
What?
Is this even legal?
We won't be able to hang out.
One question.
Hi, my name is Vincent.
Those things you were talking about won't apply to third-year students, right?
They apply to all students, even legal adults.
- But we're about to graduate. - Exactly.
All students.
I want to make it very clear to you what's at stake here.
Unless we can show that Hillerska is a safe environment,
we may be barred from operating.
And what does that mean?
Hillerska may be forced to close, effective immediately.
