Young Royals (2021–…): Season 3, Episode 2 - Avsnitt 2 - full transcript

I miss you.

Me too.

What would you have done if I was there?

If you were here with me now?

I would...

...run my fingers through your hair.

I would have kissed...

your birthmark...

on your collarbone.

Mm.

And then stroked your cheek.



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

Uh, just a sec, Housemaster.

- Simon, I have to hang up.
- No.

But I'll see you on Monday. Kiss.

Bye.

Uh, come in.

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

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

...how the previous board reasoned...

Well, I can't answer for them, can I?

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.

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.

- Positive traditions...
- I said turn it off!

Our entire graduation is ruined.

For three years, we have struggled
to get to enjoy our final days here.

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?

- No.
- Crown Prince.

You have a visitor.

Who... is it?

This way.

See you.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Oh. Oh my God.

This guy who is together
with the Crown Prince.

Yeah, it is.

- He's such an attention whore.
- Yeah, I know.

He thinks he's such a celebrity.

Ugh. He's so annoying.

What if they close the school
because of me?

But you've...
only tried to do good.

People dare to speak up
about their problems here.

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?

No.

I'm not.

No?

I just meant that if...

If I go to a school in town,

we'd almost never be able
to see each other.

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.
- 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.

Why do you still do it?

You should do an activity
that you actually like.

The whole vibe
is so bizarre right now.

I mean, people are already acting
as if they shut the place down.

Felice Ehrencrona?

Could I have a word with you in my office?

Uh, sure.

Hmm?

- Please have a seat.
- Mm-hmm.

So, Felice...

Would you say that you,
um, like it here at Hillerska?

Yeah. 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.
- 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.

Oh, okay.

- Um...
- 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... ♪
- Good.

Good.

Good. Come on! Come on! Great!

Great!

Great. Good job, all!

- 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.
- Come on.

You're supposed to catch it.

- Stop it, Simon.
- Five seconds left. Come on!

- Last one. Last one.
- Three, two, one, and...

Well done, everyone.

Nice!

All right.

I have a little bit of information
regarding the annual spring hike.

To Pinepoint.

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...

And if someone has a guitar,
feel free to bring it.

All right! Chop-chop! Come on!

Here you go.

- Thank you.
- It's gonna be great, huh?

Yeah.

All right. Here you go.

Oh fuck.

But listen, guys!
I still expect you all to behave, okay?

- It says marshmallows.
- For you.

Well done, Henry.

Do you think we'll get to sleep together?

THE PRINCE'S SCHOOL
THE PARTIES - MENTAL ABUSE

Is it because of this
that you don't want to go back?

No.

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.

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.

A driver's license, for example.

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...

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.

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.

Well then,
uh, let's go, I guess.

Mm-hmm.

LEARNER

Here.

Today I thought we'd go
through the classic Valborg songs.

And we'll start with "Vintern Rasat."

Excuse me, will we even
be allowed to celebrate Valborg?

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.

I understand
that you are concerned,

but the show must go on.

We're gonna rehearse
as if we are gonna perform.

Come in.

We have a new choir member.

Sorry I'm late.

- Welcome.
- Thank you.

♪ Winter's stormed out of our mountains ♪

Did you really quit rowing?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm?

I didn't know you liked to sing.

I don't like to sing.

- You don't?
- No.

No?

I like to listen to you
while you're singing.

Mm.

And now I get to see you
outside of school.

- Mm.
- Mm-hmm.

You're crazy.

Mm.

Come here.

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

I'm gonna miss the bus.

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

Bye.

See ya.

- 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 fucking much.

What are we supposed to do?
We've got no phones, nothing.

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.

Mm!

Mm.

Yeah. Come in.

Hi.

Hi.

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

Yeah. It's...

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

Hey, uh...

August, that... initiation thingy...

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

It feels strange to...

Mm.

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

Well, it was a joke.

But it wasn't a... very funny one, maybe.

No.

I don't know, it... Um...

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.

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.
- Good.

Good.

Okay, well, I'm off.

- See ya.
- Yeah.

August!

Yep?

- The curfew started at 7:00 p.m.
- 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.

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?

UNKNOWN NUMBER

Hello?

Hello?

What do you mean?
She's still pretty.

The new principal? Well, mid?

Mid? Easily a seven with makeup.

- A five.
- A five?

- Coffee?
- Yeah, see you there.

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

- What? Are you done?
- Yeah.

We don't have
anything else to do.

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

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

Since when are you...

Are you okay?

Hi.

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

how, um...

What?

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

♪ Do when they do what it takes ♪

♪ Full speed, in action ♪

- Wilhelm!

- ♪ Eyes on the prize ♪
- Hey! Wille, stop!

It was a joke.

Yeah, exactly. It was just a mock fight.

Were you mock fighting?

- Mm.
- Yeah.

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.
- That's not necessary.

It... It won't happen again, Boris.
You don't have to worry.

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.
- As if you did?

- What did you say?
- As if you did.

Hi.

How did it go? Are you okay?

Uh, well...

Good, uh...

Look...

Simon, uh...

This video... that you posted...

Yeah?

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

But what?

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...

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.

And it doesn't work if you post
stuff like this on social media.

Not for us.

Okay.

- I love you.
- I gotta go.

- Okay.
- Mom's here.

I love you too.

Kiss. Sleep tight, now.

Good night.

This is crap.

Is that
another threatening letter?

No, it's for Sara.

It's from Hillerska.

So?

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.

Simon.

Mm. Okay.

Hey, your mom wants to talk to you.

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.

Did you get all that?

No, of course I won't.

What makes you think
I'd do something like that?

What are you talking about? Of course not.

No.

♪ Fires burnin' ♪

♪ All around ♪

♪ Ashes falling to the ground... ♪

Exactly.

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.

- My God, it's gonna be awesome!
- Felice.

What's going on?

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.

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.

Yeah, but what the papers write
sounds so much worse than it actually is.

Have we really suffered that much
because we...

...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.

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?

But, I mean,
take this, for example.

Housemistress always tells me
to put my hair up when I forget.

But never you.

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

...Black girl with curly hair
in our class.

You are really, really beautiful.

That's not really...

That's not really what I meant
with this, but yeah.

Okay, can someone help me out?

- Come on.
- I think my watch is stuck.

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

- So girls with girls and boys with boys.
- What?

What? Hey, there's four of us.

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?

What girl would you be dating?

No, I... I just meant in... in theory.

No, in theory.

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

I'll just randomize it, then.

Come on, now. Just work it out.

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.

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

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

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

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.

Do it.
Are we making the fire or something?

As long as he's happy

Uh-huh.

They're... they're Simon's friends.

Okay,
but no photos of the Crown Prince.

- Thank you.
- Shit, this is crazy.

I told you we were camping.

- Hi.
- Hi.

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

- Rave?
- Mm-hmm.

I mean...
so why's nobody dancing?

- Thank you for coming with me.
- Okay, be careful.

- Sit down. Come on.
- Ah.

Oh my God.

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

You mean Rosh?

I don't know her name.

Uh, no. I thought she was cool.

What?

Okay.

- Who has the tissues?
- 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.

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.

And you?

Um, we're actually going to New York.

- Mm.
- Have you been?

To New York?

Yeah. Or to the US?

No.

- Never?
- No.

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

Uh, I'm also gonna work this summer.

Like you.

Oh, cool.

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.

- The hell?
- Look. It's only of her.

- What the hell?
- Give it.

Give me my fucking 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.

Exactly.

- What are they doing?
- Easy.

Of course.

Just look at the pictures.
It's only shots of her.

What's the big deal?

Can I have my phone back? Thanks.

Let's get the fuck out of here.
Come on.

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

Yeah.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

It was nice of you to drop by. Sorry.

- Yeah, she took my fucking phone.
- Oops.

Let's roll.

Come on,
imagine not having been to the US.

No, they were just...
They just took it.

Yeah, I know.

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

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.

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

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

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?

Should I turn off the lights?

Oh my God, it's freezing.

- Good night.
- Good night.

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.

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.
