Wilhelm sees the throne looming on the horizon. Sara contemplates returning to Hillerska. The online harassment is Simon follows him home.
- So, how are you doing?
- Yeah.
Well,
the doctors are exaggerating.
I'm fine.
It's just...
No, it's been too much.
I don't know.
I... I don't know if I can handle this.
Handle what?
I can't... I can't sleep.
I can't eat. I...
I can't remember any...
If I can't do this,
then you are the one who...
What happens if you can't...
It'll be fine, Mom.
You'll get well. It...
And I'll handle it.
I promise.
Well, they've just arrived.
I have to go.

August!
It's a great fit, man.
Too bad we can't celebrate Valborg.
Yeah, but we'll get to have
our capping ceremony, right?
Principal Hamilton has said
that it depends on how you behave
during the school inspectors' visit
tomorrow.
Okay, guys.
If there's any one of you
who still hasn't signed this petition,
they're welcome to do so now.
'Cause we've got to hand it in tomorrow.
Hey, August.
Is it really gonna make any difference?
It's better than complaining
all the time, right?
If we get everyone to sign,
the School Inspectorate
won't be able to say a thing.
Let me see.
As I thought.
Neither Simon nor Wille signed.
Fix it.
With the Prince's name,
it's a done deal.
I think you guys should go.
If they see you together with me,
they'll probably start harassing you too.
Okay. Got it.
- See ya.
- Bye.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Good.
Just gotta take care of something
before I hand my phone in.
I spoke to Mom,
and... she's not feeling too good.
I... just don't know what to do.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
You're not listening.
There's a lot of people commenting
on my latest post where I'm singing.
What the fuck, Simon?
I'm having a breakdown
because of my mom, and you...
you're standing here,
obsessing about some comments.
We've talked about this.
It'll just get worse if you react to them.
You don't have to post and read.
It's as if you're seeking the hate.
They write as... as if they know me.
And as if they know us.
They're discussing our relationship,
even though they have no idea.
They're misinterpreting everything.
Yeah, and I hate it, but
it's always been like that
and will always be like that.
Both for me and the people around me.
This thing with your mom,
it'll get better.
She's gonna feel better.
It's quite common for people... to burn out.
No, not in my family.
She's, like, never had
a breakdown like this.
What if she can't work anymore?
In that case, I will have to step in.
Then, all of this will just get worse.
All I want is to be with you.
♪ I can be your revolution ♪
So embarrassing.
Shh. They're coming.
Let's begin.
♪ Winter's stormed
Out from our mountains ♪
♪ Snowrose blossoms melt away and die ♪
Well...
where's Wille?
Is he sick today?
Um... don't know. Haven't seen him.
In that case, August,
I'm thinking we should do it like this.
Hmm.
We're gonna focus on you
this next hour.
Uh, no, it...
Thanks, but no, thanks.
- If Wille's not here, we might as well...
- Hang on. Wait. Hang on.
I'm thinking this.
Is there really nothing that's hard
for you to talk about when, uh...
when, uh, Wille's around?
Well, I...
I can't say a word to him
without him seeing it
as some kind of personal attack.
And how does that make you feel?
Well, I guess he's decided
that I am... evil.
And...
I don't know, it's like...
It might be true.
What makes you say that, August?
I don't see the point
in even trying to be nice
when I know
that I won't ever be forgiven anyway.
It can actually make you feel very,
very good, being nice to others.
And to yourself.
And sometimes, it might be impossible
to be forgiven.
But we still have to find
a way to move on.
And if we start making different choices,
more selfless acts,
we can at least get to the point
where we can forgive ourselves.
@LIL.MEME.04: PEOPLE ONLY LIKE HIM
BECAUSE HE'S WITH THE CROWN PRINCE
Hey.
I made your favorite. Pabellón.
I was thinkin'
that maybe we could sit down and talk.
I'm not hungry.
I don't get it.
There's five different options.
But if you read the question,
you'll understand.
Are we supposed to guess,
or, uh...?
Yeah.
You missed Boris today.
Oh, fuck. Damn it.
Did you call Farima to tell on me?
No.
I actually haven't heard a word from her.
Or anyone else,
for that matter, since, um...
You know, the thing with the Queen.
How is she?
- Is she okay?
- She's doing great.
Well, I just came over
to ask you to sign your name
on the petition.
For the School Inspectorate's
visit tomorrow.
Why is it so damn important
for you to hush this up?
Are you involved?
Of course you're involved.
We wouldn't have any damn problems
at this school if it wasn't for you.
I never said that.
I mean you... you have no idea what I...
Hang on. Hang on a minute.
What do you mean by "hushing up"?
It's just a pack of lies.
Everything's made up.
If it's made up,
there's nothing to worry about.
Yeah, but you, of all people, should know
that rumors and bullshit
really can fuck things up.
What? Are you threatening me?
No.
I'm only trying to help you.
But if you can't see that, then fuck it.
Fuck it!
Great.
Come on. Surely, you realize
that I can't sign this as Crown Prince.
I'm not allowed to take a stand.
Okay.
But you've already done that.
Simon? Simon.
What's wrong?
What's wrong? What's wrong?
I...
I was so confused
about everything that's going on.
And I want you to know
that I do trust you.
I've just been worried
about what's going on at that school.
About what it's doing to you and Sara.
And...
...I feel like I can't protect you.
It doesn't matter anymore.
I don't want to be there anyway.
I don't want to be in Bjärstad.
I don't want to be anywhere.
Everybody hates me,
and those who don't hate me
just like me
'cause I'm together with Wille.
Everything I do just goes wrong.
Oh no.
I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm sorry.
Sweetheart.
It will be okay.
Everything will be okay.
No...
YOU OWN THE SCHOOL
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HERITAGE
Today is, as you all know,
a very important day.
We will have a visit
from the Schools' Inspectorate.
No, stop it.
We'll have none of that. Not today.
This is serious.
The school's entire future
depends on this investigation.
Felice, your hair.
They are going to attend lessons
and inspect everything we do.
The ones who are being interviewed,
you are to wait
outside the principal's office
at the designated times.
And the principal
will have you know
that if you behave, there is a possibility
that some restrictions may be lifted.
Oh my God, maybe we'll get
our cell phones back, guys.
- Come on. We gotta bring our A-game!
- Yes, please!
Are you nervous?
Yeah. I mean, a bit.
Dad will be there because Mom
says I'm not allowed to be interrogated
without a parent present.
Oh, come on, honey.
You'll do so great.
And in this glass,
we have five flies.
Three red ones and two green ones.
Hey.
I talked to Mom.
I'm no longer grounded.
Hi, welcome. Hi.
- This is, uh...
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
- So, shall we go in?
They're coming.
They're coming. They're coming. Shh!
They're coming.
Okay. And right this way.

And in here,
we have our music... room.
And, uh, both...
both, um... both the Crown Prince
and Simon are members
of our exceptional school choir.
- Good day.
- Hi.
You two keep rehearsing,
and we'll move on to... to the gymnasium.
I don't get it.
Will this even help them reach a decision?
I don't think anybody will be honest.
I just wish I could get to have
one single moment with you
without getting interrupted.
We'll just have
to make that happen.
- You think so?
- Yeah.
♪ Old traditions
Passing years, Hillerska will... ♪
Yeah,
it's supposed to be a principality.
So how's school?
What are your plans
for the summer, Vincent?
Um...
I'm... I'm, uh... going to LA.
Fun.
Well, I'm done with this act.
If the principal
won't let us celebrate Valborg now,
then I don't get it.
I mean, the thing is
that you celebrate Valborg,
and then you're off.
- Everyone knows that.
- Right.
Yeah. Everyone knows that 1st May
is a bank holiday for a reason.
- Damn.
- It's so damn stupid.
You do know that you're not off
so you can party the day before, right?
Uh, huh?
It's 1st May.
- Yeah, so?
- Yeah?
The day of the labor movement?
Okay, so what's their style?
How do they celebrate?
They don't celebrate.
You demonstrate.
Okay...
- I guess you've never done that.
- No, Simon.
I guess you're the only one here
who does that kind of stuff.
But tell me, what's your plan?
You're going out
to wave your red flag around
and sing some chants
and march in line, right?
What does the Royal Family
think about that?
At least it's nice
to have a day off, right?
Dad?
- Mm-hmm?
- What was it like when you studied here?
Well, probably the most enjoyable years
of my life.
But didn't you ever feel different?
Well, yes.
When I started,
I tried to have my own style.
Some different, cool clothes.
Big, unruly hairstyles...
You should've seen me.
Well, here, you had to forget all that.
Soon, I looked like everyone else.
I was the only Black student
when I studied here,
so... so of course I stood out.
People use the N-word
as if it was perfectly normal.
Hmm...
But didn't you ever speak up about it?
Or talk to a teacher?
No.
Nah.
What could I say?
They were the same.
I learnt early on that I...
I had to be ten times better
than everyone else.
Then they had nothing on me.
That's how you win.
Play by the rules...
Thanks.
- Felice Ehrencrona?
- Yeah.
Welcome.
- Felice's dad.
- Hi.
It's okay, Dad. I can go myself.
I'll wait here, then.
How nice of you to come.
I'll start by saying
that this is completely confidential.
Your name will not be mentioned
in the report,
so you can be totally honest.
Is, um, that okay?
Mm.
So, let's go back
to when you enrolled here last autumn.
How was it for you and the other students?
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's been a pleasure. Thanks.
Excuse me.
We'd just like to give you this.
It's a petition from the students here.
They have signed it to show
that we really, really love our school.
We find that the media's criticism
has been totally unfair and...
and exaggerated.
- Yeah. Thanks.
- Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
What a great initiative.
Thank you.
How do you think we did?
We'll know when the decision
has been made.
Uh, excuse me, miss.
Will we get to celebrate the Valborg?
Or, uh, what's the deal with that?
Um...
Hmm...
How do we solve that?
INCOME, CLASS, AND PARTY SYMPATHIES
Why are none of these sharpened?
Hey, Felice,
by the way, what did they say?
Did they ask about the initiation?
Yeah. I mean, yeah. Of course they did.
So what did you say?
Well, um...
I just, uh,
tried to say as little as possible.
But you didn't tell them we have them.
I mean, 'cause they wouldn't understand,
you know?
Well, no.
Okay.
Good, good, good. Great.
Guys! Guys! Valborg.
Hey, we're gonna celebrate Valborg.
- For real!
- What? Who said that?
- The principal.
- What?
- You're kidding me!
- No alcohol, but it's gonna be awesome!
Okay? Let's get pumped!
- Oh my... Yes!
- We can bake something.
Bake-off!
Cinnamon buns?
- Valborg's happening! Yeah!
- What? This is fucking great!

Hi.
Hi.
August.
August Horn af Årnäs.
I'm a friend of Sara's.
Micke Eriksson af Bjärstad.
Sara's dad.
Nice to meet you.
Well, a pleasure.
He seems nice, your old man.
Mm-hmm. He's in a good period,
but they usually don't last that long.
Same with mine.
But I'd rather have a dad
with bad periods than no dad at all.
Why are you here, August?
Well, I...
I was... so angry with you.
- 'Cause you reported me to the police.
- No.
And I get it. I deserve it.
I... I really deserve it.
It was my fault.
I... I was the one who let you down first.
I understand that now.
And I don't want you to...
destroy your life 'cause you...
you are the only one
I've ever been able to talk to.
You're the only one
who ever understood me.
And I've missed you.
I've missed you so freaking much
that it hurts.
And what we had together, it was good.
You made me feel
that I could be a better person...
August.
Please...
Can't you at least come back to school?
I don't... I don't want to be the reason
that you don't come back.
Goodbye, August.
Man.
- I'm so excited.
- It's gonna be an epic Valborg.
Now, that's very good.
We need more sugar.
Epic.
- Yuck.
- No, no, no, no, no, no!
Well, then we'll let you do it.
Because nothing...
No way!
PREPARATIONS FOR WALPURGIS!
The person you are calling
is not available right now.
Hi, Mom. It's, uh, me again.
Call me.
That guy, August.
What did he have on his mind?
He, um... wanted me to come back to school.
Mm-hmm.
But I told him it's impossible.
Because...?
It all went wrong.
I did something wrong.
Well, when it comes to...
...doing things wrong,
I'm somewhat of an expert.
And the anxiety that follows...
that's the worst feeling in the world.
You know, um...
I carried around a hell of a lot of guilt
and shame for letting you and Simon down.
So when Linda
and I finally got divorced, then...
I just gave up.
But it was me and Simon
who didn't want to see you.
I mean, I didn't want to see you.
Of course you didn't want to,
but I should have fought for you.
Instead, I just felt sorry for myself
and wanted to run away
and felt like I was stuck in a loop.
And if I didn't take my ADHD medication,
I felt like shit.
And nothing worked.
And then, when I took it,
I felt I was like everyone else
and could go out
and have a beer with the blokes.
Without even realizing it,
I would chug down 30 beers
and not come home all weekend.
And I just couldn't take
your disappointment,
so... so everything
just started all over again.
Do you think that will happen to me?
No.
I mean, you may have inherited
my diagnoses, Sara,
but you're not me.
I guess what I'm trying to say is,
all that guilt and shame, I...
think you and I feel
those emotions stronger than others.
But you can't let
those emotions rule your life.
You understand?
Mm-hmm.

My God, Simon. That was awful.
I didn't know it would be that horrible
to sing in front of everyone.
- No, you didn't, right?
- No.
I don't get how you do it.
What? You always give speeches
in front of the entire school.
- Or the whole nation.
- Yeah, but... you seem to enjoy it for real.
You can just stand there and feel things
and be open and vulnerable.
Yeah, but I wasn't this time.
It's getting harder to stay relaxed
when I sing.
'Cause it's not as much fun anymore.

- Hi.
It's so good to see you.
- You too.

Thank you.

- Have you been drinking?
What? No, no, shit.
I, uh...
I just passed out. I was exhausted.
But how, uh... How'd it go?
Shitty.
But I survived.
I'm going back on Monday.
Well, that's great. Isn't it?
But I think I want to sleep now, so...
Yeah.
Sure.
How did it feel
to see Sara today?
Honestly, I don't know.
I just feel completely blank.
Still, she did report him.
Yeah...
But how can you have the same childhood
and the same genes
and still be so different?
And have totally different perspectives?
I don't know.
You think you'll be able to forgive her?
Would you be able to?
Erik could never have done that to me.
He was the one who protected
and took care of me.
Oh...
It just feels like
I've always been there for her.
And done everything for her.
And if she can do
something like this to me...
...then anyone could do it.
So how...
how can I ever trust anyone?

You gotta be kidding.
Have you seen this?
You follow Simon?
Yeah.
- You gotta have some everyday comedy.
- What?
I knew Simon was a socialist,
but not that he was this, uh, involved
in the... the struggle.

CRUSH THE UPPER CLASS
- Hi, Farima.
- Hi, Wilhelm.
I thought you were gonna talk to Simon.
I... I tried,
but... maybe I wasn't clear enough.
The Labor Day picture
has already caused some headlines.
Because of your mother's health,
you need to take more responsibility now.
- Mm.
- You have to talk to him.
- Or else we will.
- Yeah. I'll call him straight away.
Hi.
Hi. Um...
What are you doing?
I... I saw the picture that you posted.
Wasn't it cute?
I can't believe we've got
such young fans in Bjärstad.
It feels like
we actually could change things for real.
Yeah, but, Simon,
you've gotta understand
that we can't just...
You can't just post about anything.
Simon?
Simon?
Simon, hello?
- Yeah.
Well,
the doctors are exaggerating.
I'm fine.
It's just...
No, it's been too much.
I don't know.
I... I don't know if I can handle this.
Handle what?
I can't... I can't sleep.
I can't eat. I...

August!
It's a great fit, man.
Too bad we can't celebrate Valborg.
Yeah, but we'll get to have
our capping ceremony, right?
Principal Hamilton has said
that it depends on how you behave
during the school inspectors' visit
tomorrow.
Okay, guys.
If there's any one of you
who still hasn't signed this petition,
they're welcome to do so now.
'Cause we've got to hand it in tomorrow.
Hey, August.
Is it really gonna make any difference?
It's better than complaining
all the time, right?
If we get everyone to sign,
the School Inspectorate
won't be able to say a thing.
Let me see.
As I thought.
Neither Simon nor Wille signed.
Fix it.
With the Prince's name,
it's a done deal.
I think you guys should go.
If they see you together with me,
they'll probably start harassing you too.
Okay. Got it.
- See ya.
- Bye.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- Good.
Just gotta take care of something
before I hand my phone in.
I spoke to Mom,
and... she's not feeling too good.
I... just don't know what to do.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
You're not listening.
There's a lot of people commenting
on my latest post where I'm singing.
What the fuck, Simon?
I'm having a breakdown
because of my mom, and you...
you're standing here,
obsessing about some comments.
We've talked about this.
It'll just get worse if you react to them.
You don't have to post and read.
It's as if you're seeking the hate.
They write as... as if they know me.
And as if they know us.
They're discussing our relationship,
even though they have no idea.
They're misinterpreting everything.
Yeah, and I hate it, but
it's always been like that
and will always be like that.
Both for me and the people around me.
This thing with your mom,
it'll get better.
She's gonna feel better.
It's quite common for people... to burn out.
No, not in my family.
She's, like, never had
a breakdown like this.
What if she can't work anymore?
In that case, I will have to step in.
Then, all of this will just get worse.
All I want is to be with you.
♪ I can be your revolution ♪
So embarrassing.
Shh. They're coming.
Let's begin.
♪ Winter's stormed
Out from our mountains ♪
♪ Snowrose blossoms melt away and die ♪
Well...
where's Wille?
Is he sick today?
Um... don't know. Haven't seen him.
In that case, August,
I'm thinking we should do it like this.
Hmm.
We're gonna focus on you
this next hour.
Uh, no, it...
Thanks, but no, thanks.
- If Wille's not here, we might as well...
- Hang on. Wait. Hang on.
I'm thinking this.
Is there really nothing that's hard
for you to talk about when, uh...
when, uh, Wille's around?
Well, I...
I can't say a word to him
without him seeing it
as some kind of personal attack.
And how does that make you feel?
Well, I guess he's decided
that I am... evil.
And...
I don't know, it's like...
It might be true.
What makes you say that, August?
I don't see the point
in even trying to be nice
when I know
that I won't ever be forgiven anyway.
It can actually make you feel very,
very good, being nice to others.
And to yourself.
And sometimes, it might be impossible
to be forgiven.
But we still have to find
a way to move on.
And if we start making different choices,
more selfless acts,
we can at least get to the point
where we can forgive ourselves.
@LIL.MEME.04: PEOPLE ONLY LIKE HIM
BECAUSE HE'S WITH THE CROWN PRINCE
Hey.
I made your favorite. Pabellón.
I was thinkin'
that maybe we could sit down and talk.
I'm not hungry.
I don't get it.
There's five different options.
But if you read the question,
you'll understand.
Are we supposed to guess,
or, uh...?
Yeah.
You missed Boris today.
Oh, fuck. Damn it.
Did you call Farima to tell on me?
No.
I actually haven't heard a word from her.
Or anyone else,
for that matter, since, um...
You know, the thing with the Queen.
How is she?
- Is she okay?
- She's doing great.
Well, I just came over
to ask you to sign your name
on the petition.
For the School Inspectorate's
visit tomorrow.
Why is it so damn important
for you to hush this up?
Are you involved?
Of course you're involved.
We wouldn't have any damn problems
at this school if it wasn't for you.
I never said that.
I mean you... you have no idea what I...
Hang on. Hang on a minute.
What do you mean by "hushing up"?
It's just a pack of lies.
Everything's made up.
If it's made up,
there's nothing to worry about.
Yeah, but you, of all people, should know
that rumors and bullshit
really can fuck things up.
What? Are you threatening me?
No.
I'm only trying to help you.
But if you can't see that, then fuck it.
Fuck it!
Great.
Come on. Surely, you realize
that I can't sign this as Crown Prince.
I'm not allowed to take a stand.
Okay.
But you've already done that.
Simon? Simon.
What's wrong?
What's wrong? What's wrong?
I...
I was so confused
about everything that's going on.
And I want you to know
that I do trust you.
I've just been worried
about what's going on at that school.
About what it's doing to you and Sara.
And...
...I feel like I can't protect you.
It doesn't matter anymore.
I don't want to be there anyway.
I don't want to be in Bjärstad.
I don't want to be anywhere.
Everybody hates me,
and those who don't hate me
just like me
'cause I'm together with Wille.
Everything I do just goes wrong.
Oh no.
I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm sorry.
Sweetheart.
It will be okay.
Everything will be okay.
No...
YOU OWN THE SCHOOL
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HERITAGE
Today is, as you all know,
a very important day.
We will have a visit
from the Schools' Inspectorate.
No, stop it.
We'll have none of that. Not today.
This is serious.
The school's entire future
depends on this investigation.
Felice, your hair.
They are going to attend lessons
and inspect everything we do.
The ones who are being interviewed,
you are to wait
outside the principal's office
at the designated times.
And the principal
will have you know
that if you behave, there is a possibility
that some restrictions may be lifted.
Oh my God, maybe we'll get
our cell phones back, guys.
- Come on. We gotta bring our A-game!
- Yes, please!
Are you nervous?
Yeah. I mean, a bit.
Dad will be there because Mom
says I'm not allowed to be interrogated
without a parent present.
Oh, come on, honey.
You'll do so great.
And in this glass,
we have five flies.
Three red ones and two green ones.
Hey.
I talked to Mom.
I'm no longer grounded.
Hi, welcome. Hi.
- This is, uh...
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
- So, shall we go in?
They're coming.
They're coming. They're coming. Shh!
They're coming.
Okay. And right this way.

and Simon are members
of our exceptional school choir.
- Good day.
- Hi.
You two keep rehearsing,
and we'll move on to... to the gymnasium.
I don't get it.
Will this even help them reach a decision?
I don't think anybody will be honest.
I just wish I could get to have
one single moment with you
without getting interrupted.
We'll just have
to make that happen.
- You think so?
- Yeah.
♪ Old traditions
Passing years, Hillerska will... ♪
Yeah,
it's supposed to be a principality.
So how's school?
What are your plans
for the summer, Vincent?
Um...
I'm... I'm, uh... going to LA.
Fun.
Well, I'm done with this act.
If the principal
won't let us celebrate Valborg now,
then I don't get it.
I mean, the thing is
that you celebrate Valborg,
and then you're off.
- Everyone knows that.
- Right.
Yeah. Everyone knows that 1st May
is a bank holiday for a reason.
- Damn.
- It's so damn stupid.
You do know that you're not off
so you can party the day before, right?
Uh, huh?
It's 1st May.
- Yeah, so?
- Yeah?
The day of the labor movement?
Okay, so what's their style?
How do they celebrate?
They don't celebrate.
You demonstrate.
Okay...
- I guess you've never done that.
- No, Simon.
I guess you're the only one here
who does that kind of stuff.
But tell me, what's your plan?
You're going out
to wave your red flag around
and sing some chants
and march in line, right?
What does the Royal Family
think about that?
At least it's nice
to have a day off, right?
Dad?
- Mm-hmm?
- What was it like when you studied here?
Well, probably the most enjoyable years
of my life.
But didn't you ever feel different?
Well, yes.
When I started,
I tried to have my own style.
Some different, cool clothes.
Big, unruly hairstyles...
You should've seen me.
Well, here, you had to forget all that.
Soon, I looked like everyone else.
I was the only Black student
when I studied here,
so... so of course I stood out.
People use the N-word
as if it was perfectly normal.
Hmm...
But didn't you ever speak up about it?
Or talk to a teacher?
No.
Nah.
What could I say?
They were the same.
I learnt early on that I...
I had to be ten times better
than everyone else.
Then they had nothing on me.
That's how you win.
Play by the rules...
Thanks.
- Felice Ehrencrona?
- Yeah.
Welcome.
- Felice's dad.
- Hi.
It's okay, Dad. I can go myself.
I'll wait here, then.
How nice of you to come.
I'll start by saying
that this is completely confidential.
Your name will not be mentioned
in the report,
so you can be totally honest.
Is, um, that okay?
Mm.
So, let's go back
to when you enrolled here last autumn.
How was it for you and the other students?
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's been a pleasure. Thanks.
Excuse me.
We'd just like to give you this.
It's a petition from the students here.
They have signed it to show
that we really, really love our school.
We find that the media's criticism
has been totally unfair and...
and exaggerated.
- Yeah. Thanks.
- Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
What a great initiative.
Thank you.
How do you think we did?
We'll know when the decision
has been made.
Uh, excuse me, miss.
Will we get to celebrate the Valborg?
Or, uh, what's the deal with that?
Um...
Hmm...
How do we solve that?
INCOME, CLASS, AND PARTY SYMPATHIES
Why are none of these sharpened?
Hey, Felice,
by the way, what did they say?
Did they ask about the initiation?
Yeah. I mean, yeah. Of course they did.
So what did you say?
Well, um...
I just, uh,
tried to say as little as possible.
But you didn't tell them we have them.
I mean, 'cause they wouldn't understand,
you know?
Well, no.
Okay.
Good, good, good. Great.
Guys! Guys! Valborg.
Hey, we're gonna celebrate Valborg.
- For real!
- What? Who said that?
- The principal.
- What?
- You're kidding me!
- No alcohol, but it's gonna be awesome!
Okay? Let's get pumped!
- Oh my... Yes!
- We can bake something.
Bake-off!
Cinnamon buns?
- Valborg's happening! Yeah!

Hi.
Hi.
August.
August Horn af Årnäs.
I'm a friend of Sara's.
Micke Eriksson af Bjärstad.
Sara's dad.
Nice to meet you.
Well, a pleasure.
He seems nice, your old man.
Mm-hmm. He's in a good period,
but they usually don't last that long.
Same with mine.
But I'd rather have a dad
with bad periods than no dad at all.
Why are you here, August?
Well, I...
I was... so angry with you.
- 'Cause you reported me to the police.
- No.
And I get it. I deserve it.
I... I really deserve it.
It was my fault.
I... I was the one who let you down first.
I understand that now.
And I don't want you to...
destroy your life 'cause you...
you are the only one
I've ever been able to talk to.
You're the only one
who ever understood me.
And I've missed you.
I've missed you so freaking much
that it hurts.
And what we had together, it was good.
You made me feel
that I could be a better person...
August.
Please...
Can't you at least come back to school?
I don't... I don't want to be the reason
that you don't come back.
Goodbye, August.
Man.
- I'm so excited.
- It's gonna be an epic Valborg.
Now, that's very good.
We need more sugar.
Epic.
- Yuck.
- No, no, no, no, no, no!
Well, then we'll let you do it.
Because nothing...
No way!
PREPARATIONS FOR WALPURGIS!
The person you are calling
is not available right now.
Hi, Mom. It's, uh, me again.
Call me.
That guy, August.
What did he have on his mind?
He, um... wanted me to come back to school.
Mm-hmm.
But I told him it's impossible.
Because...?
It all went wrong.
I did something wrong.
Well, when it comes to...
...doing things wrong,
I'm somewhat of an expert.
And the anxiety that follows...
that's the worst feeling in the world.
You know, um...
I carried around a hell of a lot of guilt
and shame for letting you and Simon down.
So when Linda
and I finally got divorced, then...
I just gave up.
But it was me and Simon
who didn't want to see you.
I mean, I didn't want to see you.
Of course you didn't want to,
but I should have fought for you.
Instead, I just felt sorry for myself
and wanted to run away
and felt like I was stuck in a loop.
And if I didn't take my ADHD medication,
I felt like shit.
And nothing worked.
And then, when I took it,
I felt I was like everyone else
and could go out
and have a beer with the blokes.
Without even realizing it,
I would chug down 30 beers
and not come home all weekend.
And I just couldn't take
your disappointment,
so... so everything
just started all over again.
Do you think that will happen to me?
No.
I mean, you may have inherited
my diagnoses, Sara,
but you're not me.
I guess what I'm trying to say is,
all that guilt and shame, I...
think you and I feel
those emotions stronger than others.
But you can't let
those emotions rule your life.
You understand?
Mm-hmm.

to sing in front of everyone.
- No, you didn't, right?
- No.
I don't get how you do it.
What? You always give speeches
in front of the entire school.
- Or the whole nation.
- Yeah, but... you seem to enjoy it for real.
You can just stand there and feel things

Still, she did report him.

And have totally different perspectives?

He was the one who protected
and took care of me.
