A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Hi.
How are you feeling?
Good.
And you?
Good.
Except that you've got…
disgusting morning breath.
Oh man. Smell this.
-Is it phenyl? -Yes.
How does it smell?
What are you doing? Damn-- What a disgusting smell!
I'm up.
Just a reminder, sir. Breakfast closes in five minutes.
Shut up!
I'll be right out. Thanks, Malin.
Thanks.
"Thanks, Malin."
Thanks for rescuing me yesterday.
You're welcome.
We can always cut class.
At my place, no need to hide.
-No, we can't cut class. -Sure we can.
-No, we can't cut class. -Of course we can cut class.
Stop it. Don't be stupid.
You can just wait for me and the bodyguards to leave.
Then you can follow. Okay?
Make it look like you came from the bus.
Okay. Don't I get any breakfast?
No.
Okay, but I'm starving.
You should have brought a sandwich.
Wow!
Just kidding.
So…
See you later.
Come and see me in Bjärstad some time.
-Please. -Dumbass.
Wille!
-Good morning. -How are you?
As well as can be expected.
Oh man. Last night was wild.
Yeah.
I feel spent already. Krille got a pizza this morning.
-Really? Before breakfast? -A greasy one.
So,
what happened to you last night? You disappeared.
I couldn't tell you. I completely blacked out.
Complete memory loss?
At least I woke up in my own bed.
So?
Where were you? I tried to call.
You know, my phone died…
You didn't sleep at home.
No.
I didn't.
Good morning.
Good morning, Miss Åhdal.
Please have a seat.
Yes, Walter?
We can't do our presentation today. Alexander's not here.
Just do the best you can.
Stella and Fredrika, you can start.
Capital punishment.
For or against?
"For" is our answer.
O Saint Lucia
Bright apparition
Shine in our winter night
Beautiful vision
Dream with the sound of wings
Wille!
-Hi. -Hey.
Listen,
we've got a problem.
Okay, what is it?
Alexander's been suspended.
Why?
He didn't let us in after the party. They must've caught him.
-He wouldn't get suspended for that. -Exactly.
They must have caught him with the stuff.
And, you know, we had a lot of drugs.
The headmaster is on our case. If there's a urine test, we're screwed.
I can't get dragged into this.
None of us can.
But Alexander clearly hasn't told them anything yet.
-If he's smart, he'll keep quiet. -Exactly.
If anyone asks, we didn't see or hear anything.
We haven't been to any party.
I'll see if I can talk to Alexander. He won't dare talk.
-Congratulations, Lucia of the year. -What?
-They announced it today. It's you! -You look gorgeous.
Gorgeous picture. They posted it today.
You're beautiful. You look like an angel.
But I didn't even submit my name.
Everyone obviously voted for you anyway.
I voted for myself.
What? Is that wrong?
No, nothing wrong with that, right?
I didn't know we had to submit our names.
Sorry, I should have told you.
Do you want to be the Lucia?
Maybe.
Drumroll for the Lucia!
And now it's time for this Lucia and her maids to go riding.
Go. Ready to start.
You guys ready?
No, I don't-- Okay.
No way! Are you kidding me?
I wouldn't say it's more than usual.
It's like he knew I'd be the one doing it, so he shit some more on purpose.
HI! DO YOU WANT TO COME OVER THIS WEEKEND?
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU FOR A LONG TIME. DAD
What's up?
It's my dad.
I don't know why he's started texting me again.
He knows I want nothing to do with him.
But--
So, you never want to see him again?
No.
That's the thing. I don't want to.
I want him out of our lives. He won't be making Simon and me miserable again.
And then he makes you feel guilty for shutting him out.
It's really hard.
You have to put yourself first. His feelings aren't as important.
Thanks.
Listen.
About this weekend,
do you want to stay over?
Why?
Because it's what friends do.
It'll be really nice.
So when can I come by?
Do you want to come on Saturday?
Should I tell you what? Like this.
You're gonna jump into the water. It's 2 or 3 degrees.
If they hadn't been here, would you have thrown yourself at me?
What do you imagine they think we're talking about?
That the water is cold.
The water is cold today!
Just so you know.
Here is fine.
-There. -That's great!
-Here's a comforter, a pillow, and sheets. -Thank you.
-This package came for you, Felice. -Oh? Thank you.
Are you girls all set?
Yes. Thank you so much.
See you at dinner.
It's from Mom.
She wants me to wear her old dress.
God, she's so amped up about this whole Lucia thing.
-It's beautiful. -This is what she's like.
Everything always has to be…
perfect.
You have to lose weight, have the right stuff
so you don't get bullied.
What are you wearing?
Maddie, what are you wearing?
What do you mean?
We always dress up for weekend dinners.
But I didn't bring anything.
I only brought my riding clothes and pajamas.
You can borrow something of mine. Yes!
Okay.
I know.
This is so cute.
-Are you sure? -Yes!
-Good evening, girls. -Good evening, Housemistress.
Let's say grace.
We praise you, O Lord,
Creator of the world.
You have bestowed food upon us.
Hi.
-Hello, Wilhelm! -Hello, Linda. Thanks for having me over.
You're always welcome.
Would you like something to drink?
We're gonna play video games.
-Okay. -I'll take your coat.
-I don't know how. -Loosen up!
This is my room.
It's cozy.
It is what it is.
Are the fish yours?
What are their names?
It's kind of hard to tell them apart.
But one of them is called Olle.
The other one is called…
Oski.
And
the third one is called…
Felle.
Hang on.
What are you doing?
Why did you put that on?
So they can't hear us next door.
Does that turn you on?
Just shut up.
Have you ever had a relationship?
No.
But you've been in love?
Not even once?
Do horses count?
August wants me to come over.
No. I'll say I can't because you're here.
Don't you wanna date August anymore?
I don't know. It's just not…
it just wasn't like I thought it would be.
Something just feels off.
Listen, Felice.
There's something that I wasn't even going to tell you about,
because it was just so insignificant,
but it would feel wrong not to tell you.
August, he…
he kissed me in the stables.
It didn't mean anything.
I just figured you should know.
He's such a fucking asshole.
Aren't you in love with him?
If I was in love, I think hearing that
would have upset me.
I know.
Come on.
No!
WHEN YOUR EX TRIES TO KISS YOUR BFF!
Fuck!
MEETING IN THE GYM IN 10 MIN, IMPORTANT.
Okay…
I talked to Alexander.
He hasn't said anything yet.
But he asked us to think of a way to keep him from being expelled.
If we don't, he's gonna sing like a bird.
Are you kidding? Fuck, he can't--
We realize that you are especially vulnerable.
Considering your position, it must be tough.
But this is bigger than us.
Okay? We have to protect the Crown.
We put on a united front, right?
-Once a brother… -…always a brother.
Exactly.
All right. Alexander has a meeting scheduled in a couple of days.
We have until then to figure something out.
Any ideas?
Who'd be willing to go down on the Headmistress?
Anyone have a better suggestion?
We could blame Simon.
Come on, he's a non-res, and he brought in the drugs to begin with.
It only makes sense, right?
Sure.
He didn't tell you?
You two are always hanging out.
Weird.
He's been dealing to us for months.
Easy. I'm going there ASAP. I've got to go there.
Just do these problems and then…
-Hey, can we talk? -Hi. Sure.
Alex got caught with drugs after the party.
Was it you? Did you get the drugs?
Well?
They're my dad's. It's his medication.
Dealing. That's so fucking low.
I'm not a drug dealer.
Are you kidding me?
Why?
-To suck up to August? -He owes me money.
-August owes you money? -Yes.
-For what? -I sold him booze.
It was for your initiation.
But, apparently, he's completely broke.
August is broke?
Or he lied about that too.
You know him well. You should know.
Alexander is going to talk unless we find a way to keep him at Hillerska.
And the guys think
we should let you take the fall.
You've got to be kidding.
I can't get kicked out of school.
You know what that would mean. My mom--
You're going along with it?
No, I don't want to do that.
But you have to, or what?
-No. -What then?
Try to see it from my perspective. It affects my whole family.
Our reputation.
What about me?
My family?
Fuck you.
I didn't say I think you should take the fall.
I'm in a fucked-up situation, and I'm trying to talk to you.
I'm not going to protect the Crown just because the Prince fucked up.
Hi.
I'm fine, thanks.
Could you do me a favor?
Could you look into something regarding my second cousin August?
Can you check his financial status?
So fucking bad.
500 kronas on Monday.
August?
Did you see that?
Yeah.
-Nicely done. -What a win!
What sort of king do you think Wilhelm will make?
Well, I don't know.
Okay, I guess.
Has he got what it takes?
I guess.
But he doesn't seem as interested in royal life as Erik was.
The headmistress wants to see you.
Come in.
August.
Thanks for coming.
-Of course. -Please have a seat.
-How are you? -Fine. Would you like some chocolate?
-Sure, why not? -That's the best one. Go ahead.
-Promise? -Yes.
If this is about Alexander,
I haven't heard anything more, but I'll let you know if I do.
-Great. -I promise.
But that's not what I wanted to talk to you about.
It's about your school fees.
You see,
the board had no choice but to submit the case to the Enforcement Authority.
And now…
Well, a joint decision has been made
preventing you from returning to school after the Christmas break.
What about graduation?
-The graduation! -No, August.
I've tried, but when you don't pay, even I can't do anything.
I'm sorry, but I promise you, there are good state schools…
August, wait!
I GET THAT YOU'RE MAD. I'M GONNA TRY TO FIX ALL OF THIS. SEE YOU AT LUCIA.
I'm glad you could all make it to this impromptu meeting.
What's Alexander's status?
Alexander's meeting is on Monday.
Our job is to provide him with a good alibi and back up his story.
We will say that Simon wanted to sell to us first
and got frustrated when we didn't buy anything.
And then Simon is done. He's out of here.
Yeah, and Alexander gets to stay.
Let Alexander take the fall.
We'll say he tried to sell us all drugs, but we said no.
It won't matter what he says.
It's our word against his, and they found the drugs on him.
Why not Simon?
Because this is simpler.
Alexander will be fine. He'll end up at some school in Switzerland.
The thing is, though…
you don't call the shots.
How long have you been a member?
A week?
How much longer will you be a member?
You can't pay your school fees.
Whatever happens, you won't be here after Christmas.
It's a matter of my assets being tied up.
No, it's not.
It's a matter of you not wanting to sell Årnäs.
If you do, you can't stay in this club.
We swore to protect the Crown.
And I say,
we let Alexander take the fall.
Any objections?
Well?
No. Good. Then that's our play.
What did you want to tell me?
Well, Headmistress, I think it's important that you should know
that Alexander…
Alexander, the first-year, offered me drugs.
He was really insistent, and he initiated it.
He told me he got the stuff during a weekend at home.
Maybe he thought it made him cool.
Obviously, I said no. I'm not interested in that.
He was really pushy and aggressive.
I guess he thought it would make him popular or whatever.
I just told him to get lost, because I'm not into that.
Of course, I should have come forward sooner.
But I didn't want to get Alexander into trouble.
No one wants to be a snitch, you know.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
I'm so happy that Felice was chosen to be the Lucia.
It means so much.
Fuck.
That is fucking vile.
Here.
-No, it's just… -It's just mulled wine.
With a touch of shampoo.
But it sort of lingers…
Oh God.
-Don't pull so hard. -But I have to try to button it.
She can't breathe.
No, this won't work. Just take it off, please.
That's gorgeous!
Oh my God, yes!
It's beautiful, but not for Lucia.
-Don't you start now. -It's beautiful.
It really is.
Mom's gonna kill me.
Listen, girls, you're running late. Get moving.
-Wait. -I haven't ironed it.
-Fuck. -What?
-I left my sash in my locker. -Okay, hurry up.
-I'll meet you guys there. -Okay.
WE NEED TO TALK. IT'S ABOUT ALEXANDER.
-Hi. -Hi.
Hi, sweetie. I just wanted to wish you good luck.
-We'll see you down there. -Yeah.
Bye.
What's this?
A dress.
Listen…
Why don't you wear the one I sent you?
Let's give it a try. I can make it work.
-It doesn't fit. -Come on, sweetie.
-But… -I'll help you.
No!
No.
My mom wore this. I wore it. It's tradition. You have to!
No. I don't even want to be the Lucia.
I have to finish getting ready, so please leave me alone.
I just wanted to help you.
I know.
So you made Alexander the scapegoat?
No one said anything about you.
Do you expect me to thank you, or what?
I just wanted you to know.
I just didn't want to lose you.
You're the only person here that I can actually talk to.
HURRY UP. I'VE GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
Light your white candle crown

-How beautiful! -Thank you.
Most beautiful Lucia we've ever had. You should be so proud.
-Oh yes. -And of your son. He sings like an angel.
-Yes, I'm very proud of them. -You should be.
Hello?
Hello, August. This is Minou from the Royal Palace.
Hello.
Her Majesty the Queen has resolved your problems.
How?
Wilhelm asked me to look into it.
-She seems really nice. -Yes, she is.
I think you'd like her.
Wow, you look beautiful.
Congratulations. If that's the appropriate phrase.
What are you doing here?
The Queen says that family comes first. And we have spoken to the Headmistress.
-Thank you. Tell her thank you from me. -I will.
I'm sorry. I know you don't want to see me.
But when Simon started coming by,
I thought, everyone deserves a second chance.
Simon?
Aren't they beautiful?
Simon, I want him to leave.
What the hell have you done, Simon?
You promised.
IS THIS YOU?
THE PRINCE IS GAY!
WHO'S THE OTHER GUY?
SEXY!
