SIMON: THINKING OF YOU. HOW ARE YOU, WILLE?

I'M HERE FOR YOU. GETTING WORRIED. ARE YOU OK?

FROM ST JOHN'S CHURCH CROWN PRINCE ERIK'S FUNERAL

♪ Lose myself inside ♪

♪ I lose myself inside ♪

♪ Canyon, I'm your wind Canyon, I'm your wind ♪

I was thinking...

Tomorrow, if you feel like it, if it feels okay,

you could join the morning meeting and see how it works

- Sure. - Good.

We could also talk about your, uh, school situation.

Hmm?

I thought that it would be good for Wilhelm

to return to Hillerska, a familiar environment.

Hmm? What about that?

Just to think that I have...

Ever since I was born, I knew I would inherit the crown from Dad.

But I had time to prepare myself.

And so did Erik.

But now you're going to succeed me.

You and your future children.

So it's really important that you will be a role model.

No more mistakes.

And you will be compared to Erik...

in... in every step you take.

I already am.

I always have been.

Forgive me. Sorry.

Prince Wilhelm will now take over the duty of Crown Prince

and future King of Sweden, after the late Prince Erik.

SWEDEN'S NEW CROWN PRINCE

Initially, the Crown Prince will spend his time studying

at Hillerska Boarding School where his brother also studied.

PAYMENT FROM AUGUST: 500 KRONAS

AUGUST: I KNOW I OWE YOU MORE, BUT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SORRY!

Oh, that poor boy.

- Mmm. - Please change the channel.

Sara?

Oh, my.

An invoice from Hillerska?

A reminder to pay 5,500 crowns. What?

- What's this? - I needed a tutor.

You what?

Because I got a C on my last math test.

- But then just study harder. - That's not how it works.

It's... it's just easier to get better grades if you pay for extra lessons

'cause it's like extra credit...

In real life, you don't pay to get ahead.

No, I know.

How often have I told you?

I know, Mom. I get it.

And how will we pay for this?

- You don't understand. I was gonna pay it. - How?

How, Simon?

UNKNOWN NUMBER

Yes, who's it?

August?

Queen Kristina!

- You can move that one. - This one?

- Vincent. - Yeah?

- Out. - Just a minute.

- Now. - Just say what you have to say.

Now. It's important.

What's the matter with you?

Chill, for fuck's sake. We're in the middle of a game.

Come on. Now.

- Just Vincent. - Why?

- Because it is none of your business. - Sorry.

- Wille is coming back. - Okay...

The Queen has asked me, personally, to look after him.

Wilhelm needs his brothers now.

Gather the Society, It's time to accept a new member.

Okay! I'm on it.

Welcome back. My condolences.

First of all, I would like to thank the choir for the beautiful song.

I also want to thank you for extending your condolences

at this difficult time.

It feels wrong that I'm the one still here...

instead of him.

I know that Erik would have said...

"There's no point in having a back-up if you never use it."

My brother was kind and considerate.

He was my role model.

And I will honor his legacy

to be a Crown Prince my family will be proud of.

Hi.

Hi.

How, um...

How are you?

I'm okay.

Did you get my texts?

Yeah.

- I was going to text you back, but... - It's cool.

- I understand. - I need you to delete all our texts.

What?

I can't keep doing this anymore.

SARA: DID MICKE GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU?

SIMON: NO?!

SARA: HE SAYS HE WANTS TO MEET UP. WHY?!

SIMON: OMG?! DON'T REPLY!

Well, we have arranged for Your Highness

to have a slightly bigger room.

And I'm always here if you need me, Your Highness.

Wilhelm...

Forgive me, Your Highness.

The memorial was really quite beautiful.

- So brave of you to say a few words. - Thank you.

Promise to let me know if there's anything I can do.

Thank you, Headmistress.

Anything at all.

We'll be right outside, Your Highness.

REMOVE CONTACT?

No. Please! Please!

Could I just have one second? Just one second alone, please?

No, I'm terribly sorry.

"I release it and send it on its way."

"Negative energy, I banish thee."

"And is my word, so mote it be."

"Negative energy, may not stay."

Wilhelm!

Hi.

Hi. What...

What's going on?

Oh, uh, some kind of ritual.

A cleansing ritual that she insists I must do.

- Okay. - But, hey, um...

You know, the thing at Parents' Lunch, I don't know what I was...

- Don't worry. Let's forget about it. - Okay, good.

You're freezing.

No, she told me the ritual would make me warm so it's...

Here.

Now you don't have to freeze.

Felice! We have to finish the ritual

Sorry. My fault.

Yeah.

Well, I better...

You want to join us?

Yeah. Sure. Why not?

Okay.

If I'm allowed.

- Yeah, come on. - Come.

You can stand there.

I haven't smeared any coal across my forehead. That's okay, right?

- That's okay. - Here you go.

Say after me.

Negative energy, I ban thee.

Negative energy, I ban thee.

Hello?

I need to talk to you about Sara.

Hey, Dad?

You're a worthless drunk.

Don't press too hard, I'll come too fast.

Did you close your eyes?

What? No.

What the hell? You closed your eyes.

You're thinking about someone else.

- Is that it? - No.

You don't even... Aren't you even gonna answer me?

It's Wille.

But August...

You know, I...

I've just had a lot going on lately so it's...

I don't know...

No, you haven't. You haven't even...

How nice to see some smiles.

It's been too long.

- Okay. - See you later.

Whoa.

What's up with you two?

So, you're an actual proper couple now?

Mm.

Since when did you start liking him for real?

Come on, Felice, give us the details.

Hey, wait up. Did you sleep together?

Was it royal?

August.

You're gonna sell this.

I'm giving you a chance to pay me back.

Are you kidding?

- No, no. - Yes, you are.

You're gonna pay me back every penny you owe me.

I can't help you.

Well, then I guess you don't care if everyone knows.

What?

That you're broke.

Right?

You know what?

With national tests coming up, they're gonna sell like hot cakes.

Fine, I'll do it.

But then you shut the fuck up!

The bus has stopped running.

I know. I'm waiting for my mom.

Are you angry?

Yes.

I'm sorry about the Parents' Lunch. I really had no idea.

I never meant to. I... I was just being honest.

Sometimes it's better not to say everything.

I want us to be friends again.

Me too.

- See you tomorrow. - Mm. Bye.

He refused to leave.

You weren't picking up.

Did you call?

Sorry. It was on mute.

Why have you got Wille's jacket?

I bumped into him on the way to class yesterday,

I just forgot to return it.

- But I'll do it later. - I'm going there now. I'll take it.

But wait, are you angry?

No, I'm not angry! I...

- Yeah, but... we just talked. - Okay.

We just talked about his brother.

Erik was like a brother to me too, and you know that.

Your focus should be on comforting me so that I can comfort him.

Give me the jacket! Give it to me.

Dump him.

Hi there. Can I help you?

- I'm just dropping this off. - This?

- We're family. Nothing to worry about. - I see.

- I'll take it. - Stubborn, that's good.

I'll give it to him.

Thank you.

Just tell him that I stopped by.

- Of course. - Good.

PAYMENT FROM AUGUST

How can one move like that?

I know! It's crazy. Unbelievable.

- I need to find that video. It's so funny. - Go ahead.

- I'm sure you look great. - Here it is.

- Let me see. - No, I look crazy.

I mean it, that's so cute.

- That's so cute. You're really sweet. - Oh God! Whatever...

- See you later. - Yeah, okay.

Sara! Hello.

Hi.

- Where's Felice? Do you know? - No, I don't.

- You don't know? - No.

- She posted a picture saying she was here. - Yeah, she does that sometimes.

You know, she posts stuff like she's somewhere

but she's not actually there.

With Wille? Is she somewhere else with Wille?

What? I have no idea.

Does she talk a lot about him? Wille?

What? What are you trying to get at?

Has anyone ever told you how pretty you are?

What?

What?

What?

THE PALACE AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

AT 11:30 P.M. A DIVERSIONARY MANEUVER COMMENCES. STAND BY.

THE SOCIETY

Here.

Ow! Ow! What are you doing? This is the money for the booze.

- What the hell are you up to? - What?

- Have you started using? - Ow.

Using what? What are you talking about?

My medication! You think I'm stupid? Where are they?

I sold them.

Ow.

- Please tell me you're not using. Huh? - What the fuck do you care?

Damn it, Simon. Doctors prescribe them for me. Don't you get it?

I need that shit in order to function. They're not freaking recreational.

They're for my ADHD.

How stupid do you think I am?

Huh?

I know you'll use anything to get high or drunk.

You couldn't even stop using for Sara's and my sake.

You're so fucking pathetic.

Crown Prince Wilhelm?

- Thanks. - No problem.

Shall we?

Yeah.

You should have gotten a key.

- You don't have one? - No.

Whoa.

Welcome to the Society.

Thanks.

- Alexander, would you... - Sure.

We have unanimously voted in favor of offering you, Crown Prince Wilhelm...

the seat that was formerly held by Prince Erik.

Now you only have to answer one single question.

Hmm?

Do you, Crown Prince Wilhelm,

swear that you, in accordance with the Society's interests,

will work to prevent the extinction of this Society's noble families?

Yes. I swear.

Good. Alexander, we're ready to be served.

- Welcome. - Thanks, Vincent.

Come on! Oh!

Wait, wait. Calm down. Hold on.

Okay?

No, it was just water.

What the hell, August?

- Bing-bing-bong! Bing-bing-bong-bing-bing! - [all yelling in expectation.

- Oh fuck! - Aw.

Okay, this one.

This one's for friendship everlasting!

Yay!

That was booze!

Refill! Refill.

Oh, Jesus!

Refill!

Where the hell is Nisse?

- I think it's time to up the ante. - Yeah!

Alexander. Could you go get the stuff that takes us to the moon?

There are actually two criteria you need to become a member.

You need to be of noble birth...

and the first-born son.

Noble and first-born son!

Take Per, for instance. He owns... He owns...

Are you paying attention? 5,500 hectares outside of Lund.

- Not too shabby. - Hell, no.

And Krille here, he owns 7,500. Isn't that true?

- It's 7,555, actually! - Get over yourself.

And Nisse owns diddly-squat.

- No, Nisse is awesome. Stop. - Nisse is nouveau riche.

Go and find your own club.

What I'm trying to say is...

- Speak up! - I'm trying to say that...

All of us have one thing in common.

We are all equally loyal to the monarchy.

To you. To you!

- Never forget that! Never forget that! - Yeah, yeah.

And on that note, back to the game.

Don't just laugh it off, you guys! For fuck's sake.

Number four is mine! Thank you very much.

Alexander, pack the drugs and hide them carefully.

- I'm going to fuck this up. - What do you mean?

I'm gonna do the wrong things, say the wrong things. I...

I'm lousy with names. I called the King of Belgium,

I called him "Rudolf."

I said, "Hi, Rudolf!"

Yeah, that's why you have me. I know everybody's name.

Just ask me.

- You wanna swap? - Yeah, why not?

I egged him on,

always to...

Why buy a fancy car if you're afraid of the gas pedal?

You want to feel the feeling of the wind

with the top down.

That's what I told him.

I get what you mean. I felt exactly the same way about my dad.

Everything's, like, upside down now.

I don't know how to act, or how to feel.

I shouldn't even be functioning as a human being...

because my...

brother is, like, dead, but I...

Here I am, partying.

It's not your fault.

It really isn't your fault.

One more time.

Hello.

Don't have the guts to talk to me?

Just because everyone knows who I am?

You think you know me, eh?

You don't!

Bam!

That's right. I do whatever I want!

Whoo!

Fuck!

Hello?

S imon...

Hello? Who is this?

I really like you.

Uh...

- Wille, is that you? - Yeah.

I've found it out.

You see, everything is fake.

Everything is fake. Everything in the world is fake.

It's, like, you know...

The grass on the football field isn't even grass.

- Wille... - It's... it's plastic!

It's like bright but at night.

It's night! I know that much.

- But why is it bright? - Are you on the football field?

Hmm. Exactly.

All the people are fake. They're made out of metal.

But I like you. And that is not fake.

Wille!
