TO PUT SWEDEN ON THE MAP!

POOR BOYS. I PITY THEM.

SO CLUMSY TO GET CAUGHT ON FILM.

I KNOW WHERE HE LIVES!

CLASS TRAITOR!

LOVE FOR THE BOYS!

THE SEXIEST VIDEO EVER!

CROWN PRINCE'S BOYFRIEND



VIDEO SHAKES ROYAL FAMILY

Your Majesty, there are
no words for how sorry I am

that something like this
could happen at our school.

We're going to issue a statement...

You're not condemning anything
until we tell you so.

We could buy you some of that?
What do you think?

THE CROWN PRINCE'S SECRET LOVER?

HIS SECRET LIFE AT THE ELITE SCHOOL

You realize that
this will have consequences?

I'm sorry, Mama.

It looks like we can't cover this up.

We have to address the matter.

But we can still deny
that it is you in the video.

You can't really see that it is you.



So, this is what we'll do.

We'll come and pick you up on Saturday.

We'll let, um,
Rosenqvist handle the interview.

We'll give her
exclusive rights to the entire statement.

We can trust her.

I don't want you
to see Simon for the time being.

It, uh, only sets off new rumors.

We have to solve this first.

Hey, love. How'd it go?

Yes, Mom. I am able to go to the shop.

Simon.

We should really file a police report.

Mm-hmm.

Hey.

I don't think you should
go back to that school.

No.

And I think
it would be best if none of you did.

I'll call Marieberg
and see if we can change back.

But, Mom,
I don't want to stop going to Hillerska!

Think about everything he did for you.

Like meeting Dad behind my back?

Are you gonna ruin my life
just because he's ruining his?

Stop being so fucking stubborn
and try to understand my situation.

The whole fucking world
has seen me in that video!

King Carl Gustaf XVII and XVIII
at the same time?

Or what?

How are they gonna find an heir?
I mean, they can't have kids.

I guess they'll have
to find a surrogate mother.

The thing is that they'll have
to find a super blue-blooded surrogate.

- No one would take that offer.
- Well, you definitely would.

Yeah!

Hey, seriously, drop it.

He's just been outed.

Yeah, but there's a lot of people who
don't even believe it's him in the video.

Yeah.

It's only us students who know
that it's Wilhelm's room on the video.

Remember what we saw during movie night?
When they sat next to each other?

That's right!

- We spoke about it.
- Yeah!

Everyone knows his room.

- Was someone outside his window?
- Well, probably.

Yeah, but who?

I mean, it could be anyone.
It's so fucking stupid.

- What about that tall guy?
- What, like Lukas?

Hello! Simon, right?

I'm from Today's News and
I'm writing an article and would like...

No. No. No.

- I'm a real reporter.
- I don't want to talk to you!

- I'm on your side.
- I'm calling the cops if you don't leave.

I'm giving you
a chance to give your version.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How are you?

How's Simon?
He must be totally devastated.

Yeah, he feels terrible
so he's staying home today.

- Mom wants us to change schools.
- What?

She doesn't want us to continue
after everything that's happened.

But, wait a sec. When?

As soon as the term is over.

Hmm.

- This is the computer.
- Okay.

Hey, look.

Is it turned on?

Hey, those guys are not
from the IT support.

They must be here because of the video.

We'll have to take it with us.

Have you ever seen
anyone use that one? So weird.

Oh, my God.

Seriously? What the fuck is your problem?

Whoa. Uh...

We tried calling you, bro.

Are you gonna let us in?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

It's just total chaos.

Mmm.

It's all they talk about at school.

Yeah, but they're just hyping it up
because someone from Bjärstad is famous.

"Famous"?

Man, just don't bother about it.
It's just a video, bro.

- "Just a video"?
- Famous people make videos like that.

Well, not on purpose. They leak the video.

Like Kim Kardashian.

And she's doing fine now.

- Have you seen it?
- Which one? His or...

- Come on! Kim K.
- Yeah, 100%.

- Haven't seen it?
- I haven't seen it!

Simon, you must have seen it.

- Yes.
- Have you seen it?

- Have you both seen it?
- Yeah.

Not together, but I've seen it.

Just drop it. This was about your video.

Doesn't bother me at all.
I've seen it. Absolutely. 100%.

- Let's go back to his video.
- Yeah. Sorry. Okay.

What did Wille say? Did you talk to him?

Tell us.

No, I turned off the phone.

I can't take it anymore.

I get you.
So, what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna have to quit.

- Just like that?
- And start at ours?

- Mmm.
- Hey, yay, yay!

The gang's back together!

I would love for you to come back with us,

but why should you
take the blame for what they've done?

Exactly.

Are you gonna let them
go on with their bullshit?

- If you quit...
- Fuck them, man.

- ...you're the one paying for it.
- Yeah.

You can't give up now.

No, definitely not. Preach!

Well, we'll...

see you at the weekend.

Take care, darling.

WILHELM: PLEASE COME TO SCHOOL
TOMORROW. WE NEED TO TALK.

SIMON: DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HANDLE IT.
WHO DID IT? MUST BE SOMEONE AT SCHOOL.

WILHELM: IT'S SO FUCKING SICK.
PLEASE COME. WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER.

Yes?

I told the housemaster
that I'd bring you dinner.

You do know you don't need to hide?

And if anyone gives
you a hard time, you know,

just let me know,
and I'll take care of it.

Hey, August, um...

I'd like to apologize
for that thing with the Society.

I shouldn't have told
everyone about your money problem.

I know you're only trying to help me.

- I know I let you down.
- It's all good.

Okay?

Thank you.

And thanks for helping me
with my tuition fees.

I wish Erik was here.
He'd tell me what to do.

I don't know.

What am I supposed to do? I'm...

I think that Erik
would have wanted you to be yourself.

Really.

You know, follow your heart.

Come on! It's just school.

Thanks, Sara.

- Hi.
- Good morning.

- Hey!
- Hi.

Did you watch the game last night?

- No.
- Okay.

What the hell are we gonna do?

They've asked me to deny
that it was me in that video.

Seriously?

Mmm.

They want me to make a statement
at the castle on Saturday.

But you're not going to do it, right?

I don't want to say anything.

But, Wille, everyone
can see that it's me in that video.

What am I supposed to do?

But no matter what,
they can't dictate what you say.

We haven't done anything wrong.

No.

We haven't.

You're right. We're doing this together.

Sara, I'm gonna kidnap you
if you leave this school.

Yes, I swear to God.
If you go to Marieberg, I'm gonna...

Hi.

May I come in?

What do you want?

I know that it was you
who uploaded the video.

Come in.

Well, the police took
the computer that you used

and that's where
the video was uploaded from.

So you thought you'd start spreading
false rumors without having any proof?

Okay, so you won't mind if I tell Wilhelm

that I saw you
using that computer on that day?

Go for it.

Okay.

No, wait!

Why did you do it?

I don't even know myself. It...

It just happened.

I thought you and Wilhelm were friends.

Yeah.

True.

Yeah? So why?

Wilhelm's has everything!

And he just spits on it.

I've tried to help him several times, but...

I mean, Erik took his role seriously.

Wille, he just doesn't care.

He's an embarrassment
to the whole royal family.

That doesn't give you the right.

And what about Simon?
He's completely destroyed.

So what do you want?

You're still here,
so obviously you must want something.

So what do you want?

Huh?

You can have whatever the hell you want.

What's your biggest dream?

To be like you.

To live at Hillerska,
and have a life here.

You mean that you...?

Oh.

That's not too hard to arrange.

I can get you into the Manor House.

The prefect and I are this close.

- You can even skip the line.
- I can't afford it.

People like you get grants.
That means everything's free.

I'll even help you apply.

And in return, you won't tell anyone.

Okay?

Sara, dinner's ready!

- What? Are we eating in here?
- Yeah.

Can't we sit at the dinner table?

This is cozy.

Can't we buy real serviettes?

Someone's really been inspired
by all the posh girls at the Manor House.

- What's so wrong with that?
- Nothing.

You look pretty.

But why are you dressed up?

Is it a special occasion or...

It's nice to make an effort
and dress up for dinner.

I'd better go get my suit.

I'm applying for a grant at Hillerska,
so I can become a resident there.

- You'll be rid of me.
- What?

At least I won't be a burden to anyone.

And I won't have to stay
in this crappy house.

What the hell
are you saying? Chill down!

- Mm, mm, mm.
- No?

Hold on.
I'll take care of this. I'll handle this.

Have you lost it completely?

She's done everything for us,
and you just piss on her!

- No.
- Yes!

No, if she had done everything for us,
she'd have protected us from Dad!

And his booze and drugs.

- That's what she tried to do.
- Trying is not enough, Simon!

She should've divorced him
as soon as everything started.

Then we would've been homeless.

You have to give people a chance.

Simon, you can't always
just give everybody a chance.

That's your biggest problem!

You're just always
trying to help everybody!

First you tried to help Dad,
then me, and now Wilhelm.

You keep letting people piss on you!

At least I don't piss on my family, Sara.

And I'm not trying to be someone I'm not.

No one likes me when I'm myself.

I like you when you are yourself!

Now you're doing it again.

You're trying to take care of me.

I'm trying to be your friend again,

because I need you.

Okay.

What am I supposed to wear?

Stop it.

I can't be dressed like this
if you're dressed like that.

I just look stupid.

No, you don't.

I'm the one who looks stupid.

You're beautiful.

So are you.

Stop playing detective.
Let's watch a movie instead.

I'm just trying to find something,
just something, anything at all

that might help them
catch the one who did it.

Why?

Because if everything calms down,

then Sara might not have to change school.

And I want to help Wilhelm.

The police will figure it out.

WILHELM: GOING HOME TOMORROW.
WILL YOU COME AND SAY GOODBYE?

SIMON: OF COURSE

Do they want you to stop seeing me?

Yeah, I'm sure they do.

But I don't want to.

Will you tell them that?

I will. I want to be with you.

You're right.
They can't force me to make the statement.

I'm gonna talk to my mom.

She has to understand.

Fuck! Fuck! They'll be here in a minute.

How are you feeling?

It feels like I'm gonna throw up.

I'll call you later.

You'll do just fine.

You're brave.

Thank you for
not letting me go through this alone.

Hi. I thought...

I wanted us to have a few minutes alone.

How do you do?

Pleasure.

Your, um... Majesty.

Um, see ya.

Goodbye.

What?

What if...

Why can't I just have
a relationship with him?

And not say anything.

Just live a normal life.

You're the Crown Prince.

And that's a privilege, not a punishment.

Yes, but I didn't ask for this!

Well, nobody has ever,
ever asked for this!

You're the only one who can
take over the throne after Erik.

Don't you understand that?

You're so young.

When you're young, love feels like
the most important thing in the world.

When I was your age,

I too had an unfortunate romance.

That was before I met your father.

What I mean is,

is it worth it?

If you feel that the attention you've
been getting so far is unacceptable,

it's nothing compared to what
you will endure for the rest of your life.

We have a chance to cover this up.

I urge you to take that chance.

You may not get another.

What do you think about
this one if he takes this one?

Are you ready?

Yeah.

You'll do fine.

I'm gonna win.

But you have to play a higher one.

- Is this one higher?
- Yes...

No, Mom, that means I win.

Well, now it's my turn.

Oh!

I won!

Rematch. Rematch.

- You sure?
- Yup! I'm sure.

No, I don't think you're going to win.

Sara, pass me some of those.
Thanks.

- Mom, are you really ready for this?
- Yes, I'm ready.

I'm always ready.

Oh, shit...

What's up?

"The Crown Prince says,
'That's not me in the video.'"

What?

Uh, "The Royal Court denies the rumors
that the Crown Prince

appears in the video
that has gone viral this past week."

"'I started at Hillerska
to focus on my studies

and have therefore chosen
not to get involved

in any emotional relationships, '
says the Crown Prince."

"'Everyone should be allowed to live
as gay or straight or whatever they want, '

says the Crown Prince."

WILHELM: SIMON, PLEASE ANSWER!

Mi amor.

Do you want anything?

Cookies, juice, soda?

No, thanks.

Are you sure?

You're strong, Simon.
Everything's gonna be all right.

WILHELM: CAN I DROP BY AND SEE YOU?

SIMON: I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO SEE YOU.

WILHELM: I'M ALMOST THERE.
PLEASE! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

Hi.

Uh...

Could we...

I'm sorry.

But it was, like, the only way.

But...

this doesn't have
to change anything between us.

We're still us.

It's just that we can't be seen together.

- If I'm someone you have to hide...
- But...

Don't you realize
the shit storm that follows if I come out?

How can you ask me to do that?

I'm not asking you to do that.

You just expect everything
to be on your terms. You...

You need to figure out what you want.

And you can take all the time you need.

And I respect that.

But you have to do it by yourself.

I don't want to be anyone's secret.

Do you have
any plans for the Christmas holidays?

Wanna visit me in New York?

Hello?

Felice?

- Ah, excuse me. Where's Wilhelm's room?
- Uh, number 15.

Who is it?

It's Felice. Can we talk?

Now is really not a good time.

Please.

It's really important.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What is it?

I know who did it.

- Huh?
- Who made the video.

It has to do with the dead pixels.

And...

these are from August's Instagram.

See? Same here.

He dropped his phone,
and must have damaged the camera.

Here too.

Well, it's the same
in every single picture.

What's up?

I trusted you.

What are you talking about?

I trusted you.

Why?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

What do you want me to say? I'm sorry!

You fucking told me
you were the one I could always come to!

- Please, calm down.
- If I had a problem!

You said that I was among my peers!

You were the one I was supposed to trust!

You're no longer a part of my family.

Hi, darling.

Mom, it was August.

It was August.

- I know that.
- What do you mean you know?

How long have you known?

A couple of days.

- Have you...
- Wille...

You knew all this time?
Why didn't you tell me?

Because I knew how you would react.

We gain nothing by going public.

Now we have said it's not you
in the video and we're sticking to that.

He should be punished.

He bloody ruined my fucking life!

How the hell can you protect him?

I'm protecting you.

And I'm protecting our family,

and I'm protecting the royal family,

and our legacy.

That's the only thing that can give
Erik's death any kind of mean...

Merry Christmas, Crown Prince.
Welcome back in the new year.

Thank you. Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Hi.

That was beautiful.

Thanks.
