A CLASS APART

Quickly!

Bloody hell.

It's not open.

There.

-I've got lessons now, I can't... -Do you know, Benno...

why worms are used as bait for angling?

-No idea. -No.

They are compliant.

When you put the hook through them...

they kind of give in straight away.

Remember that.

Take a seat, please.

Have you been away for so long you've forgotten how to behave? Silence.

Silence, please.

Thank you.

Right. Who's absent today?

Hugo, Robin and William. Anyone else?

Did all the pissheads get together yesterday?

That must count as authorised absence.

Right.

Some of you may have heard rumours,

so I thought I'd preempt those.

The police have found a body in Holmered's town centre.

In the water, by the mill.

Yes, Joacim?

Is it someone from Holmered school?

I don't know any details.

You're probably wondering what's happened?

Drowning accidents in Sweden usually involve alcohol or drug consumption.

Unless it's a small child, of course.

Now, if we could put all speculations aside

and just focus. Okay? Great.

Let's carry on.

-Hi. -Hello.

As if a hangover wasn't enough.

Didn't Isaac wear a dinner jacket to the party yesterday?

Hello?

What? Yes.

Shit. I'll call Rodde.

Hello.

Have you heard from Isaac?

Get in touch if you hear something. Great, thanks.

I've got to go to work.

-Is that okay? -Sure.

Right, I'll see you at Vallen.

Put your phones away, please.

You're wondering what's happened, but it's most likely an accident.

-Sure. -We all know what Holmered is like.

Also, this really doesn't concern you.

Sebastian, sit down, please.

Sit down, please.

The police are here.

Hugo.

Hugo!

Hugo!

Wake up, for fuck's sake.

You bloody arsehole, Carnebo.

I got worried when I didn't see you in class.

Oh, god.

You're scaring me, Philip.

It seems like something has happened.

The police are here.

Rolf pointed out that you, William and Robin were absent.

Come on, let's go.

Fuck.

What the hell?

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Hi, girls.

Coffee, please.

-I can't get hold of Isaac. -No?

He doesn't even reply to my texts.

He's always doing this.

Just give him a bit of time, maybe.

I know he went to a party yesterday. As soon as it gets serious, he's off.

-Sara, your coffee. -Thanks.

I'll help you. I'll see if I can get hold of him.

You know they've found someone in the river?

You go to your lesson now.

-Hello. -Hi.

-Where are you going? -We're seeing the headmaster. Come.

Fuck me, it's hot in here.

Glad you're alive. How are you?

Stop it. I really can't take...

-I asked how you are, you wally. -Have you seen Robin?

-Have you seen Robin? -I haven't left my room.

No, we can tell by the smell.

-Gross, what have you been doing? -Shut up, William.

Come on, pull yourself together. The police are here.

Come on!

The police?

Ah, it fucking stinks in here. Here, have some of Zlatan's deodorant.

What are you talking about?

Shut up and put your trousers on. The police are here.

There's a fucking arsehole stench in here.

-Have you puked in your room? -Yes.

-Fucking hell. -Come out when you're dressed.

-Were you there yesterday? -Shut up.

Hey, Jocke!

The pupil's room is here on the right.

Robin Nyman has only been here for one term.

Might be good to know.

Thank you.

No one is allowed to enter this room.

It's to be regarded as a crime scene.

-Carl? -How bad is it?

I'll handle this.

-Who was it? -It was some initiation thing.

Which one of our pupils is dead?

Robin Nyman. Kenneth Nyman's son.

Bloody hell.

Do you know what happened? Was it an accident?

There is no suspicion of a crime. Anything could have happened.

Have you spoken to the father and the family?

The police have notified them.

I know I should have spoken to them. I just haven't had the time.

This will be a major headache.

What the hell do we do?

I thought of writing a press release.

-No, don't. -It could be misinterpreted.

Sometimes it's best to say as little as possible.

Right.

If anyone needs to talk about what's happened, my door is always open.

For Robin.

There will be no more lessons today.

We will let you know more after the police investigation.

If you want to leave flowers or a message to Robin's family,

can do so at the headmaster's office.

Sasha.

Lessons will continue as usual tomorrow.

We will give you more information about the competition later.

Caroline.

What happened to William?

He couldn't stick around.

Meet me in ten minutes.

We have done this successfully in Dubai and Toronto.

So it's not a question of how we do it,

but rather how we do it in the most effective way.

Our company has more than 100 satisfied customers,

who now own real estate that we have completed to their satisfaction.

Buildings that are boosting their rental revenue every single day.

Are you ready to join them?

-Can I help you? -No, no, carry on.

Please.

Remember, opportunities don't just happen.

You create them, right?

Is that opportunities don't happen, you create them?

Yes, that's right.

Hey, thank you.

Thank you very much,

Charles Chip White. A round of applause, please.

Very good. Thanks a lot.

What our little American friend is trying to do

is to make you make the same mistakes

as his previous clients in Dubai and Toronto.

He's trying to tempt you into this deal with special offers.

As the building project becomes more costly, you have to contribute more

simply to rescue your original investment.

This is the oldest trick in the book.

You can see through this.

As Charles Chip White exists the stage

he will be calling his boss in the States

and refer to you as "dumb capital".

This is the problem.

Because you're not.

I know that.

Yes, we will have to deal with that.

They face big challenges. Many languages are spoken at this school.

What are we talking about?

We're talking about this death.

Okay, but then you're at the wrong school, surely?

We've been to Tuna Kvarn, but weren't allowed in.

Isn't that the problem then? Not that we have mulitlingual pupils here.

We don't know anything about this death.

You're presuming a connection with our school.

-We're not making assumptions. -What then?

-We're just doing our job. -Okay.

There are more pupils at Tuna Kvarn involved in crime than here.

Only they are protected and my pupils are not. Remove your cameras.

-We're trying to do our job. -Get a drone and go to Tuna Kvarn.

-Well done, Sara. -Great!

I know most of you in here since student days, as colleagues,

Bengt-Olof and Anette, thanks for the other day.

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Carl.

In contrast to our American friend, I can't flee the stage,

put my head in the sand and escape the country if things go to pot.

I will stay with you, all the way.

And you know that.

If Cerebros Alecto is allowed to build Crystal Point Tower,

your investments will pay off big time.

We will have northern Europe's tallest skyscraper

with the highest profit in northern Europe.

This is no bullshit.

Or in words that everyone understands:

This is not bullshit, Chip.

Thank you.

William really needs to calm down.

This makes me really fucking worried.

What might have happened?

Either it was an accident, maybe he was balancing on the bridge railing.

-Balancing? -Shut up.

It must have been... Fuck, I don't know.

He was weak.

Do you mean he took his own life?

If my dad was a casino king I would also have killed myself.

We need a plan, no matter what.

None of this must be connected with Zebra or Tuna Kvarn.

Switch the light on, Philip. It's depressingly dark in here.

I don't think you need to worry about this.

If we don't have a plan, we do need to worry. We need a plan.

What's this bloody mess? I thought she was going to clean in here.

-It stinks in here. -That doesn't help.

Hey.

-What? -Look.

Shit.

Look.

No, you're joking.

Who's stupid enough to film?

It's a tradition. It's a game. No one will understand that.

Who's put that up? What does it say?

It doesn't say anything.

-Grace. -Mhm.

-Hello? -Yes?

Ow. Stop it, please.

Just lie still and take it.

-What's that? -It's a disgusting film.

-From here, I think. -What room is that?

This is the angle.

Let me see.

Robin must have filmed.

But Robin is dead. How could he put up a fucking Youtube video?

Who could be that bloody stupid?

It doesn't matter who filmed. It will come back to us.

Fuck.

What if it wasn't suicide, or an accident?

It could have been one of the gangs from Holmered.

Who might have robbed him?

It went a bit far.

-That wouldn't be too odd. -No.

Robin met Isaac.

That could work.

I think it would work well.

Aren't we pushing things a bit here?

We know him a bit.

We don't know him.

-He gives you drugs. -But still.

Do you want them to come asking about this video?

Obviously not.

Do you want questions about the coke stash in your room?

-Please. -You need Zebra more than we do.

Will your parents give you another chance if they see the video?

Stop it?

Your grades are useless. And so are your work ethics.

Have you seen this?

-Nasim, have you seen this? -What?

Lie still and take it. Open your mouth.

No. No!

Just take it away. I'm going to be sick.

I mean...

Hi.

Sorry, I haven't had time to book an appointment yet.

-I will do it, I promise. -Thanks a lot.

-Do you want me to come with you? -Yes, please.

I will do.

Have you seen the films from Tuna?

They're totally sick.

-What is it? -It's like an assault.

The travel budget has been reduced to zero.

They're cutting back on everything.

-Could I have a top up, please? -Of course.

-There you go. -Thank you.

No, it's completely insane.

I've got to get on with some work. Okay. Bye.

THE SCANDALS AND TRAGEDIES THAT HAVE SHAKEN ELITE SCHOOL

...PUPILS CRUCIFIED NEW PUPILS...

...INITIATION RITUAL...

...SCHOOL CLOSURE... ...SERIOUS INJURIES...

SUSPECTED TORTURE-LIKE ABUSE AT TUNA KVARN

TORTURE-LIKE ABUSE

MD CARL EKBERG ...SEXUAL ABUSE...

Hello.

-Hi, Sara. -God, so much stuff.

I can't stay and help out today, but...

Thank you. I was about to say you're far too generous.

-But that's not possible. -Nope.

Have you got any news about Fawad? Can he stay?

We're appealing the decision.

He's lived in Sweden for most of his life.

I'll have to get a picture of you. You look lovely.

Wait.

-Should I wear glasses? -Why not?

They look nice. Now, smile. Cheese.

WORST SCHOOL SCANDAL OF MODERN TIME

...REPORTS OF PENNALISM...

ABUSE

Are you not at the wrong school?

That's the problem, not that our pupils are multilingual.

There are more pupils at Tuna Kvarn involved in crime than here.

So have you appealed?

We are going to appeal.

But that's really annoying. They've missed some important dates.

I mean the old lawyer.

Have you got the address for him?

Let me check.

Remove your cameras.

-We're doing our job. -Get a drone and go to Tuna Kvarn.

SARA BODEN TELLS IT LIKE IT IS

Hello. You have a new message.

Hi, Annika Beijbom calling from "Opinions Live" on TV.

I've seen some clips of you on social media.

We're doing a special on Tuna Kvarn and would like you as a guest.

Give me a call on 0708 623872.

-Amaya. -Hi, what are you up to?

Something totally sick has just happened.

They called me from TV to ask me to appear on a debating show.

Are you joking? I just saw your clip.

Awesome!

But I can't go on TV.

Of course you have to do it. You're always talking about this.

What should I say?

Talk about the stuff in the clip. It was brilliant.

It's tonight. I need to call them, as it may be too late.

Do you realise how many will be watching? Like tons.

-I'll get so nervous. -Come on, Sara.

Why do they call me? Oh, shit. Hang on.

-What's going on? -Hang on. Oh my god!

-What are you doing? -Oh, god. Hello, are you there?

I'm here.

I just went past a police control without my seatbelt on.

Call them now and say that you're coming.

You're passionate about this. You can make a difference.

Programmes like that don't change anything. It's just entertainment.

I've not had a chance to talk to the father, Kenneth Nyman.

And I will call the schools' inspectorate.

I gathered the pupils.

-You gathered the pupils. -Yes.

Well done for doing that.

What did the police say?

They didn't say much.

They closed off pupil Nyman's room and said they'd be in touch.

I got a feeling they thought it could be gang related.

That he was just very unfortunate. Wrong place, wrong time.

I mean this video that emerged...

Maybe I'm a bit stupid,

but I'm thinking it should not have been released.

No, of course not.

It already has over 86 000 views.

Surely it's not that bad.

They're at an age when they will experiment.

It looks worse than it is.

I've had lots of emails and calls from the press.

I've declined to comment, but will issue a written statement.

I've also had something from Opinions Live.

I definitely turned them down.

You definitely agreed.

Be careful. It's strong.

Thanks, man.

We'll be going soon. Are you coming?

I'm just going to check something.

It's going to be a sunny day in the Stockholm region.

Later in the day rain will be moving east.

Increasingly heavy rainfall can be expected.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, the weather will be similar,

but along the coasts, there is a possibility of sunshine.

Now we're going straight to the debating show Opinions Live.

Welcome to tonight's debate.

Following the death of a pupil at Tuna Kvarn,

we'll be asking if boarding schools have a place in our...

Have you ever rolled a spliff in coke?

It makes you crazy high. No joke.

You roll it, lick it and roll it in some coke, light it and...

...from boarding school Tuna Kvarn.

What do you think, Jens?

I think it's peculiar

that such elite schools are still around in this day and age.

Just fucking look at him.

To consider our school an elite school...

-And check out his necklace. -Bloody goggle tan.

...welcome to apply.

But with fees of 300 000 kronor,

you can't be saying that the school is accessible to all?

If you're bright enough you can get a scholarship.

The costs lie in board and accommodation.

So lobster and oysters every day?

-Why is our food so yucky? -Don't know.

Tuna Kvarn fits as well into modern life as the monarchy,

but of course you teach your pupils that they are society's royals.

So that's fitting.

Jörn Jonsson grew up at a stately home, typical Palme socialist.

I hate people like that.

Was he a prime minister?

You're so sexy, Nathalie.

Yes, he was a prime minister. He grew up next to the Colombian embassy.

I thought you were the Colombian embassy.

No, Jamaica today.

"My brother."

I don't understand why Palme became a communist.

So, Elisabeth, how are you going to deal with the problems at Tuna Kvarn?

We're going to carry out an internal investigation.

That's not enough.

You're blaming the violence at your school

on vulnerable, disadvantaged groups.

What do you say, Elisabeth?

Over the years we have educated...

How can you, as the headmistress of this school, Elisabeth,

take it so lightly that one of your pupils is dead?

What's happened is of course awful and terribly tragic,

but it's important to keep things separated.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of criminality and gang violence

in the area around Tuna Kvarn.

Everything indicates that the deceased pupil fell victim of this.

There's no evidence of that.

We have seen video evidence of how your pupils are oppressed and harmed

because of ancient traditions that allow pennalism and abuse.

That's been proven.

This is Sara Bodén, an applause for her.

You teach at Holmered school.

-I'm a counsellor. -Counsellor, sorry.

You're a counsellor at Holmered school,

a normal state school.

What are your pupils reaction to what's happened at Tuna Kvarn?

They wonder, like the rest of us, how this could happen.

-Fuck! -Can you just cool it a bit?

You don't smoke in here.

So, Elisabeth, what do you think of the film from Tuna Kvarn?

I have no comments. I haven't seen the film.

-Bullshit. -Like I said, we've started...

-Of course you've seen it. -No, I haven't.

I can tell those of you who haven't seen it

that one of your pupils is subjected to what is clearly abuse,

under the pretext that it's peer education.

In fact you're just teaching the pupils hierarchic power structures.

Those at the top can do what they want, take what they want

and abuse those below them in society.

-Can they? -It starts in your school.

Great, Sara.

Tuna Kvarn is not your average school.

It's a social network that ensures that

the money and the power stays with a tiny elite.

A few privileged families.

It is a power structure of new and old pupils that perpetuates this.

What does she look like in the leopard print.

How can you dress like that to appear on TV?

At our school we're proud.

We are proud of the closeness and sense of community we feel.

We have educated successful business leaders.

Our school works like this.

We encourage them to aim higher in society.

Is that wrong?

Successful business leaders who have attended our school...

-I'm talking, love. -What, "love"?

-Carl? -Are you watching the debate?

Yes. How are you doing?

I'm fine.

Just trying to make this go away.

Things like this tend to blow over.

Yes, but it is mighty blowy right now.

A dead pupil and a nouveau riche father who won't shut up.

It has been suggested that Tuna Kvarn is investigated

both for pennalism and bullying.

Could you speak to Björn Ekstedt?

See if he will give an interview and put the school in a positive light.

And talk about life as a pupil here.

Isn't it better to go via Gabriel? He will be elected to the supreme court.

But everyone loves Björn.

That's true. I'll check with Björn.

There may be some additional costs. We probably need a new lawyer.

Can't you check with the lawyers at the ministry

if anyone there is available?

I'll deal with it.

I have done some research.

Among Tuna Kvarn's alumni are three princes,

60 counts and 82 barons.

What's your take on that, Elisabeth?

Naturally, we strive for equality, also in a socioeconomic sense.

That's obvious.

Your pupils come from the most affluent areas

castles and stately homes.

No normal pupils have a chance to attend your school.

Tuna Kvarn is a cult that runs most of our society.

She's good.

-Who? -The teacher.

She's a counsellor, isn't she?

You can try to move the focus to criminality in the suburbs,

which is unsavoury, since the abuse has taken place at your school.

-What do you say, Elisabeth? -Thanks, Claire.

I know that you're aware that what you're defending is wrong.

You're helping to build a society that's increasingly unequal,

driven by elitism, pennalism and violence.

-Carl? -Are you watching the debate, Sasha?

Yes, I'm watching it now.

That counsellor, with that hair...

Do you want me to check her out?

-I'll do that. -Thanks.

Dear viewers, dear audience.

Thank you, Sara Bodén from Holmered school.

Police!

Show us your hands!

Go, go, go!

Stay like that.

-Hey, what the hell? -Lie down.

Of course you go for me.

Ow! Why the fuck do you go for me?

You just go for the first black guy. Fucking ow!

Fuck you!
