Spring Hugo, spring

Hi, darling.
What are you wearing?
Is that dad's old thing?
Sweetheart? Hello?
-Hi.
-What's this?
What?
This.
I thought it would be good to meet.
I'm going away for a while.
A while?
You brought your whole wardrobe.
I'm going to grandma's house
in Mountauk. It's empty.
You know I like to spend time there.
You can come over whenever you want.
I'll let them fix your room.
No more girly wallpapers.
The decorator has done
a marvellous job.
Is this because of her?
Of course not.
Mum, are you gonna let it go?
You left him, remember?
Are you leaving me now?
I'm not leaving you.
Why would I do that?
You call me, I call you. No big deal.
You have a responsibility.
You're a mother.
You have a responsibility.
Are you leaving me and Oscar?
A happy mum in the US
is better than a sad one here.
You could try to be happy for me.
And I have a gift for you.
You can have Tommy.
He can show up when you want.
Just call.
You and the girls can be anywhere.
It's much better if you
I don't want Tommy.
I don't want your fucking bribes.
Mum, for real!
Well
-No, don't do that.
-You can go to hell.
-Don't
-Yes.
Go to hell! You too, Tommy. Damn it.
Hello.
The have golf courses, horses.
It's a fucking Disney World!
Our students don't have a place
to sit outside. It's unfair.
Because they put fireworks
in the benches, is that my fault?
Forget the benches.
I'm not talking about that.
We've cancelled lessons.
We don't have a gym teacher.
Not even a nurse.
It's not fair!
I hear what you're saying,
but my resources aren't endless.
Your problem is that you don't know
where to put the resources.
Yes, I do. That's why
I'm the principal and you aren't.
Isaac!
-Do you want some?
-No, thanks.
Since when are you not smoking?
I just don't feel like it.
What did they say?
Not much.
-No?
-I can't leave town, so
I'll have to wait and see.
Shit. I get it.
Right, I saw your text.
What did you want to talk about?
I was just worried.
People are talking.
-They do.
-Are you going back to school now?
Do I have a choice?
Want me to come with you?
No, it's okay. I'll go back home.
I guess I'll see you later.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-Yes. See you.
-See you.
In a minute I'll hand over
to officers Jovanna and Said.
But I want to inform you that we
don't know for certain that Robin
That Robin Nyman's death
was an accident.
That's why I want you to assist
the police in their investigation,
with the helpfulness and respect
you're brought up to show.
We're going to start recruitment
for a new student counsellor.
This person will be there
to support those who need it. Thanks.
A warm welcome for officers
Jovanna Pavic and Said Ben.
Thanks, Elisabeth. We're here to
gather information about Robin Nyman.
But I want to stress that right now
we don't suspect
that a crime has been committed.
We just want to talk to some of you
to understand what happened
to Robin that night.
Thanks.
You should search the other side
of the lake, for fuck's sake!
Stop that, Häger.
Go straight up to my room after this.
Just one more thing.
You know that he's right.
She doesn't know anything.
She's fucking demented.
I've missed you, Wille.
And therefore Are you listening?
-Yes, I am.
-Good.
As you'll understand,
we want to carry on as usual.
That means that this year's race
against the Holmered school
will go ahead as planned.
Hugo and Grace.
How's the play going?
Are you getting fired
as Hugo's wingman?
I got you to talk at last. Here.
"Let us not then speak ill
of our generation.
It is not any unhappier
than its predecessors.
Let us not speak well of it, either.
Let us not speak of it at all."
You're really good.
They're going to love this.
So dark and depressing.
It's great. They can relate.
But how do you feel?
Can you focus on the competition?
Do I have a choice?
Everyone feels crap.
But if I skipped it,
people would talk.
I could kick you in the leg
so you ended up in a wheelchair.
Wonderful idea.
Honestly, isn't it a bit sick
that they carry on
in spite of everything.
It's fucking brutal.
-Everyone's devastated.
-But they aren't.
Yes.
And how sick is it that William
and Hugo are best friends suddenly?
It's so ridiculous.
Because Hugo is mad at Philip.
But I might have another way in.
I just have to work on it.
Interesting.
-Hi. How are you?
-I feel really sick.
I don't know. It'll pass.
-How did it go with Isaac?
-I can't do that now.
-Why? What did he say?
-I didn't tell him.
-No.
-It didn't feel right.
And you?
It went well. I said I couldn't
see her again, and she was chill.
Okay.
She was so hot, though.
Cut it out. There are plenty
more fish in the sea.
Our families
were on vacation last summer.
I usually don't hang out with people
from school, except for Grace.
And we didn't tell anyone
when we came back.
It's a bit weird.
We're not the most likely friends.
What do you mean?
We wouldn't have talked otherwise,
and we didn't tell our friends.
They would've made such a fuss.
So no one knew that you met up?
You, Robin and William?
No. It feels so stupid.
I carry this around, and I
I told both of them that they can't
be a part of that society.
I think they are better than that.
I really do.
When you say "society", you mean
The Zebra Room.
And William said, or
We were pretty drunk, but
Caroline knows something,
but she won't talk about it.
Do you understand
that this isn't an interrogation?
As we said,
you don't have to talk to us.
But it would be a great help.
Especially for Robin.
His family needs closure.
His dad can't even get out of bed.
What are you thinking now?
You don't get it.
You don't understand. He was
He was so sweet.
Isaac!
Hang on a sec. Isaac!
Damn. He won't even look at me.
What can he do?
It's not an easy situation.
Isaac!
How do you feel?
It's cool. I'm tired.
What's happening? I hear rumours.
They had to let me go.
I have an alibi.
I got so fucking sad. I don't want
to hear these things about you.
I just don't want my parents to know.
I get that, but this is serious.
They say that people
have seen you selling.
Yeah, so my parents can't know.
The race is on.
-I can't think about running now.
-I understand that.
But if you don't show up,
people will start talking.
They'll say things.
Don't give them that.
You should go there, run,
do everything you can to win.
If not for the school,
do it for yourself.
If you do that,
we can talk about your parents.
How about it?
Okay.
Okay.
Here.
Call me.
TO THE FOXIEST FOX ON THE BLOCK
I shaved 15 seconds
off the first lap.
That's great.
Double that and you'll win, right?
Just double that? Easy.
-Just go all in.
-Do you have to leave me?
Can't you celebrate your new mum's
birthday some other time?
You'll manage. I know it.
-There's a lot going on right now.
-But win the race.
Just do it. Win the race.
And give Zebra a pacifier
dipped in booze to suck on.
To calm them down.
And make sure Philip
doesn't die from loneliness.
How about being nice to him?
-Phillip?
-Yes.
You told him to ask Robin
to buy the stuff, right?
Yes.
He wouldn't remember.
He was so wasted.
Hey.
Don't be mean. Play nicely.
I'm trying.
-We'll see.
-That's good.
Good boy. Talk to you later.
-Okay, mum.
-Yeah.
-I thought you were down there.
-I already ran once.
But I'm going there again soon.
Are you going to watch?
-I was planning on it.
-Yeah?
I haven't seen you in a while,
but you have some details to improve.
It's that fucking smoking, right?
I must have told Sasha 30 times.
He needs to swing his arms faster.
You don't get anywhere.
Weird, since you're so damn tall.
Said Ben. I'm a police officer.
We need to talk briefly to Hugo.
Make it quick.
He has a race in a few hours.
Just a few minutes.
-Dad, will I need help?
-Help?
I really hope not.
So where were you that evening?
At a dinner. What do you mean?
We wonder if you went outside
at some point.
No.
Did you see Robin leave the room?
Yes. Well, I saw that he went out.
I don't know
if I saw him come back or not.
-I was pretty tanked.
-Were you just drunk?
-Had you taken anything?
-No, but why does that matter?
Did you see Robin having a discussion
with anyone? A close encounter?
Encounter?
I'm not sure what you mean,
but we probably shook hands
when he arrived.
If he kissed someone or something.
Whatever you do at this school.
So you didn't see if Robin was
intimate with Caroline Liljekrook?
With Caroline?
Certainly not.
Why would he be?
Let us know earlier next time,
so we can fix something more fancy.
How's school now?
I don't think Elisabeth was brilliant
in the debate.
That old bag.
Well, she's obsolete, lost her touch.
She became a bit odd
after the divorce.
What was his name again?
Lagerqvist.
-Yes.
-Yes. Claes Lagerqvist.
They have that castle in Scania
that used to be so nice.
What's happened now?
They probably can't afford
to take care of it as they should.
Ia and Titti were there
at a summer party
and half the facade had collapsed.
Hardly surprising,
considering their neglect.
Anyway, he gave Elisabeth a position.
She's obviously lost that now.
Dad, she's letting in new money.
Isn't that what's most neglectful?
But it's horrible what's happened.
It must be someone from Holmered
who robbed him or something.
Well, if you look at how society's
developed, it's not unexpected.
It's really sad what happened.
It's an odd choice by his dad
to put him there,
thinking he would fit in
with that background.
You have to think before you act.
What do you say?
You were in his class for a while.
I rarely spoke to him.
-Well, we're here.
-Yes, we are.
-I'm glad it's happening.
-Yeah, I think we need it.
I think it's great.
To fight segregation.
Yeah, right.
I only see one school in uniforms.
And it's not us.
Shall we start?
Ready.
Come on!
-Fuck!
-Damn it.
Royal. Just right.
You fought well.
You should thank them for the game
and shake their hands.
Isaac!
-Thanks. Great job.
-Thanks so much.
-Good to see you again.
-Yeah.
-Thanks for meeting up with me.
-Yeah, it was awesome.
Yes, it was.
Let it go.
Hey, come here.
You have a lot of balls showing up
here, after killing one of us.
-Watch it!
-What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do? Kill me, too?
Shut it.
What are you doing, you pussy?
You fucking bastard!
Stop it! Hugo!
What the hell? No, stop it!
Hello?
Isaac!
Go.
Hugo, for fuck's sake.
Cut it out.
-Calm down now.
-Fucking idiot. I'll kill you.
Get back. Stop it now. Get back.
Fuck. Get back.
-What are you doing?
-Come on. Fucking bastard.
God damn it.
What did you think would happen?
You were like Muhammad Ali.
I couldn't just stand there
and watch.
You could have stood still
and let them fight.
You couldn't stop them.
-Should I blow on the wound?
-Stop it.
Stop it.
-Oh, my. How did it go?
-Not great.
Solid effort out there.
I'm impressed.
-Thanks.
-I like you.
Yeah, thank you.
That's not strange.
Authority, sure of yourself,
empathy, integrity.
-Yeah.
-A mean left-handed blow.
Thanks a lot.
-I'm still not interested.
-That's cool.
-I want to talk to you.
-Of course.
As for the ice pack,
15 minutes an hour maximum.
Alright.
Smooth.
-I never heard him talk like that.
-Cut it out.
I know when someone's
trying to be smooth.
Can I invite you
to dinner tonight?
Or are there more rounds?
I can't. I have to get back to work.
Torbjörn summoned me to a meeting.
Some other day.
I don't know.
I like you. It was nice
and everything, but I don't know.
-Won't it be messy?
-I hear you, but I don't agree.
-Okay.
-But
I respect that, of course.
What did he say?
15 minutes every hour?
Something like that.
Bye.
Thanks for helping with
You're sweet.
You too.
"To Tuna's best wingman
with Tuna's worst handicap."
What were you thinking?
Holding the race at Holmered?
What should I have done?
I had to fly the flag at half-mast.
We couldn't do it here.
You stopped listening to me
a long time ago.
You should know better.
You of all people.
Anyone could see
this would cause trouble for us.
I thought it would
counteract discrimination!
Do you know what's worse
than discrimination?
Right now
there are videos on Instagram
where it looks like our students
go to a ghetto to pick a fight,
when the Schools Inspectorate
is looking for a way to put us down.
This is Look at me.
This was exceptionally badly managed,
Elisabeth.
I really misjudged this.
I take responsibility for it.
You're not welcome at the reunion.
Hello.
Oh.
Wow.
What a wallop.
-What do you have to say?
-What do you want me to say?
I tried to stop a fight.
It doesn't look like it.
No? But that's what happened.
It's like this.
I don't trust your judgement anymore.
What?
The school management
is fed up with you and so am I.
I tried to stop a fight.
Is that bad judgement?
You don't impose
any limits on your students.
I have to give you a warning.
Okay.
-What does that mean?
-That you have to listen to me.
From now on, I need you to be
more transparent with your work.
I want you to report
to me every week.
And I don't want you
to take any decisions on your own.
-Then I'm done here.
-But please
You know what? I've done
so fucking much for this school!
You'll see that when I'm gone.
Fuck you!
Oh, hello. What are you reading?
GLORIA STEINEM
LIFE ON THE ROAD
It's a good book. Have you read
her one about Marilyn Monroe?
It's good, I promise.
I'm sure you liked the pictures, too.
Yeah, they didn't hurt.
What are you doing
for the long weekend?
I'm not sure. Why?
There's a party at my place.
I would be great if you could come.
If you dare.
Why wouldn't I?
What do you mean?
-I don't know.
-Our slot's in 30 minutes, you know?
Come if you want.
Why are you talking to her?
I like curly hair. Leave me alone.
You're disgusting.
Come on, we're in a hurry.
-Hi.
-Oh, hi.
Want to go and get wasted in Zebra?
-I took some tasty liquor from dad.
-William!
Hi there.
Sorry, we're going golfing.
-We tee off soon, right?
-Yeah.
So we can't. But knock yourself out.
-I hope it's good.
-Good luck.
William!
-What?
-"What"?
What do you want?
I can't stand you right now.
Have I done something?
Why do you even care?
We don't even know each other.
-We don't?
-That's right.
Leave me alone
and don't tell me what to do.
What are you talking about?
The race!
Why did you have to interfere?
Instead of being there for him,
I saw him getting beaten up
because you interfered.
So don't do that again.
Just stay out of all this.
You don't even know me.
Obviously not.
Know what I do know?
You're better than Hugo.
But now you're really nasty,
worse than him.
That's what so fucking sad.
When you stop being an idiot,
maybe you can get in touch.
And we might get to know each other,
because we obviously don't.
-I'm so tired of those chicks.
-Are you kidding me?
We have to get some city girls
for the party.
-Yes.
-We can pay for their taxis.
Or rent a bus.
Like your daddy.
-No?
-Behave yourself.
How many city girls
do you have in stock?
Not more than you.
This is what I'm thinking.
Together, we could fill one bus.
This party has made you mad,
like my mum.
She can't stop harping on
about how much wine she bought.
For half an army, she says.
Who's going to drink wine?
I'm going all in on booze.
Like you usually do.
We have to get some coke.
Can you handle that?
-I think maybe I can.
-You can, can't you?
We also have to finish this hole
so we can move on.
Good work today.
Thanks.
-Everything should be there.
-I hope so.
I don't want any unnecessary eyes
on the Zebra room.
Thanks.
CAM BILLIARD ROOM
LOUISE
I told both of them that they can't
be a part of that society.
I think they are better than that.
When you say "society", you mean
The Zebra Room.
You understand
that they're behind this.
-How do you know?
-I don't, really.
But they're twisted in there.
They're always up to something.
I can't say anything, I told you.
What you say in this room
is confidential.
That's a guarantee.
I don't even want
to be a part of Zebra.
But you can't leave.
It's for life.
-Are you afraid of what would happen?
-Yes.
I'm afraid sometimes.
Do you think someone there
would be capable of harming a person?
I don't know. Maybe.
Hi.
I'm on board.
But I want an extra 7,000 a month.
You'll get 5,000.
-Seven.
-You get five.
Seven.
Five.
Eight.
You'll get 9,000 crowns extra
every month.
Congratulations.
It'll be great working with you.
Twelve.
No. No more negotiations.
Yes!
-What?
-Stop it.
What? I just want to record us
when we're cute like this.
Turn it off.
Look. See that? You're gorgeous.
It's unreal. How do you do it?
You embarrass me. It's weird.
-Can I have some gum, too?
-No, that's the last one.
We'll buy more.
