Young Royals

Crown Prince, we thought that you would sit at the end.

- Here? - Here. Exactly.

And Simon and his mother will sit over there with their counselor.

And August, over there, with his lawyer.

I don't think this will take a long time.

- I think it'll soon be over. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Did you take the pills? - Yes.

- Do you want some water? - No, I'm fine.

Come here, darling.

Hey. Button up your shirt so that you look more serious.

Stop it.

Right.

We have gathered here today

because of the so-called "intimate video clip."

This video clip has had devastating consequences

for the two plaintiffs,

His Highness Crown Prince Wilhelm and Simon Eriksson.

However, at this point, a trial

would significantly worsen the current media situation.

We would like to, together with you,

discuss the possibility of reaching a settlement.

Yes, we have drawn up a proposal

for compensation regarding the two plaintiffs.

That being said, I'd like to emphasize that my client would be sacrificing a lot

by agreeing to this settlement.

In a trial, the evidence and the testimonies would hardly be enough

for a conviction.

The question is if the video clip would even be considered explicit.

Excuse me?

To show someone kissing someone of the same sex, of being gay,

doesn't necessarily portray that person as disreputable these days.

The video clip is relatively innocent.

- Innocent? How can you say that? - But, Mom, please...

Your son has tried to destroy their lives!

And after the Prince's speech,

the Nordic Resistance movement came to Bjärstad and burnt pride flags.

People are calling in the middle of the night.

We're getting letters with threats to our home.

I want justice for my son.

Could we take a short break, please? I'd like to confer with my client.

Yes, let's take a short break.

We'll discuss this next week. We're in the middle of this process.

Okay. Bye.

Come on.

Lighten up. It's gonna be fine.

It's not that easy when they sit there and look at me like I'm some kind of

piss person.

Okay. You are a piss person.

I see it like this.

Sometimes, you have to accept that, once in a while, you are a piss person.

That's the way it is.

What are you talking about? Piss... Do you think I'm a piss person?

- Not at all. - You think I'm evil?

No, absolutely not.

August, you have to admit

that it is pretty ironic that you, out of all piss people,

have become a threat to the crown.

- I love the monarchy. - Mm.

But the important question is, does the monarchy love you?

The Royal Court doesn't want to take this any further.

And then you stand alone against August and his lawyer,

one of the best in Sweden.

And this is a very generous offer.

So, like, what is he willing to pay?

1.2 million crowns.

I didn't move to Sweden to teach my kids to accept some bribe.

I understand that, but this could get nasty.

They will try to dig up all kinds of crap.

They're like a clan.

Mafia methods.

I just want this to be over.

Wille said that he will have to sell his dad's manor to pay up.

And that's the worst punishment August could get.

I can't take it anymore.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Hi.

Hi.

I can't believe that you're here.

Me neither.

I just wish it wasn't... for this reason.

No.

This isn't quite how I imagined it would be.

How did you imagine it would be?

I can, um...

show you.

Mm-hmm?

Okay, come.

But Mom's in...

What?

My mom...

They're not gonna start without us, Simon.

Come.

Cozy.

Was this how you imagined it?

No.

This is better.

Crown Prince? We have to resume.

Yeah, we're coming.

So, our proposal is that we go through the agreement,

section by section.

And if either party needs to make any amendments,

we'll enter them as we go along before signing it.

Excuse me, but we're done here.

You can do what you want, but I'm not gonna teach my kids

that some people are exempt from the law.

Absolutely. I totally agree with you

that it's important that we teach our kids

that you simply just can't escape the law.

But if that is the case, that goes for Simon and the Crown Prince as well.

Well, if we reach a settlement,

August is prepared not to report Simon

for selling his dad's medication to students at Hillerska.

Or the Crown Prince for the fact that he, uh, approached

and threatened August with a rifle.

I mean, all of this, it was your fault to begin with.

You scammed Simon out of his money, and you took the drugs.

So did you.

But in exchange for August's silence,

not to mention the generous financial compensation

to the parties,

we'll need assurance from the Royal Court

that August is given an official title

as the next in line to the throne after the Crown Prince.

But it doesn't matter if you... you have a title or not.

You'll never be a part of my family.

Just look at me!

If you think I'm letting you take over, then you can forget it!

- You won't have to let me take over. - No?

- No. - Why not?

With your track record, you'll manage to fuck everything up all on your own.

So I'm the one fucking up? Huh?

Your problems started before I got involved.

- Oh, really? Yeah? - And you know that.

I mean, I'm not the one who's known for beating people up.

You know what? You're a disgusting...

Stop it!

HILLERSKA SCHOOL

It's all signed now,

so let's, uh, turn a blank page and just put this behind us.

- Yes, Mom. But... - Wilhelm.

I don't expect you to forgive August.

I don't even expect you to like each other.

But we can't have any more scandals like this.

Especially not involving the two of you.

Now, what do you think

Erik would have said if he had seen you act this way?

Erik would never have forgiven him.

You'll soon be 17, and within a year, you have to be able to take over after me.

Do you understand that?

Do you really get it?

This isn't some game.

I... I... I promise, Your Majesty, both me and Wilhelm will behave.

- Mm. - For Erik's sake.

Well, if you stay away from me, I'll do the same.

Oh, God...

Oh, God!

Oh, G...

Oh, God. Oh, God!

- Oh, God, help me! - Hey. Hey.

What should I...

Just breathe.

Go get someone!

Sure.

My Erik.

My Erik.

We should just go on a trip.

Yeah, I mean, let's go somewhere.
