00:04Hurry up, girls. Come on.
00:11Come on, come on. You should be done here.
00:14You'll be back from the station any second now.
00:23I haven't had a chance to ask. How was London?
00:26Oh, much as usual. Dirty, noisy, and quite enjoyable.
00:30There was no need for you to come back a day early.
00:32I'm perfectly capable of getting the house ready.
00:35Of course you are, but I'd like to have the heavy luggage back and unclanked before they get here.
00:39I suppose. Steady, William. This isn't a race.
00:45Poor lad.
00:47But he did see her. I was worried when I took him to King's Cross.
00:50Yes, he had time to say goodbye.
00:52How is he now?
00:54Well, you've only got one mother, haven't you?
00:58I hear Mrs. Hughes.
01:11Hello, William. It's good to have you back.
01:14What a relief to be home.
01:16Don't miss him when his loyalty returns and I have to enjoy the season.
01:19When in Rome?
01:20Will Lady Mary be back soon?
01:22She's staying on with my sister for a couple of weeks.
01:25So Grantham house is closed?
01:27It will be by the end of this week.
01:29Dear Mrs. Hughes, I hope you've had some time to yourself while we've been away.
01:33I've tackled a few jobs that get forgotten about when the house is full.
01:38Any local news?
01:39The main topic here is the murder of the Austrian Archduke.
01:42Here and everywhere else.
01:44I'm afraid we haven't heard the last of that.
01:46How's William?
01:48Very noble.
01:49Poor chap.
01:50He has our sympathies.
01:52I think I'll watch the train off before dinner.
01:54Very good, my lord.
01:55I can unpack where you're bathing.
01:56I'll see you up there.
01:58Oh, Mrs. Hughes, have you had any thoughts about the garden party for the hospital?
02:01I've started on it, but there are things we need to talk about.
02:04Oh, dear.
02:05That sounds like trouble.
02:07I'll take my hat off.
02:09Sybil.
02:11You were a great success in London, darling.
02:13Well done.
02:16You never say that to me, don't I?
02:19You were very helpful to you.
02:24I hate to spoil our ladyship's homecoming, but what are we going to do about Mrs. Padden?
02:30She's worse than when you left.
02:32Much worse.
02:34When I meant to ask, is there a decision about Mr. Bates leaving?
02:40Not yet.
02:41His lordship wants the facts, and Mr. Bates won't give them.
02:45So what are you going to say to her ladyship about Mrs. Padmore?
02:49Oh, I'm not sure.
02:51I don't want the poor women sacked, but things cannot go on as they are.
03:01There's nothing like an English summer, is there?
03:03Except an English winter.
03:06I'm sorry you haven't received more invitations.
03:09But then after four seasons, one is less a debutante than a survivor.
03:14My dear, is there anything you're not telling me?
03:18No.
03:19Only one hears stories.
03:21There's nothing, Aunt Rosamund.
03:26So, have you decided whether or not to marry Cousin Matthew?
03:30Oh, there's no secret Cora can keep for more than a month.
03:34You'd be surprised.
03:36I've told him I'll give him my answer the day I get back.
03:40Well, it will be very tidy.
03:42At least we can say that.
03:54Fancy a smoke?
03:55Don't mind, Mother, dear.
03:58There they go.
03:59Guy Fawkes and his assistant.
04:01Which is which?
04:02Here you are.
04:07Surely, if his lordship hasn't done anything until now,
04:10it means he doesn't want to take it any further.
04:13Anna's made me an armband, Mr. Carson.
04:16For my mother.
04:17Can I wear it?
04:18I dare say.
04:19Not when we're entertaining, but otherwise.
04:32Hello, Doctor.
04:34I didn't know you were here.
04:35No.
04:36Lady Grantham sent a message.
04:38Why, she's not ill, is she?
04:39Not ill, exactly.
04:42Would you mind waiting in the library?
04:49Pregnant?
04:51You need me quite so shocked.
04:53Give me a moment.
04:56You haven't been pregnant for 18 years.
04:58And I'm pregnant now.
05:00I don't understand what we've done differently.
05:02Stop right there.
05:03If you want to know more, go down and laugh at the doctor some whiskey.
05:06I can't take it in.
05:07But you're pleased.
05:12Of course.
05:15Of course I'm pleased.
05:24I don't think she'd do it.
05:28I told you she would.
05:30I could see she was interested.
05:32And I was speaking as one lady's married to another.
05:34That means something, you know.
05:36Of course we thought we had him before, but he's a slippery devil.
05:46It's unusual, obviously.
05:48Unusual?
05:49It's biblical.
05:51Not quite.
05:53You understand that women go through a certain change.
05:58I know quite as much as I need to about all that.
06:01Well, sometimes it can result in a surge of fertility, for want of a better word.
06:07But the child will be healthy.
06:09Oh, there's no reason why not.
06:11How long has she...
06:13Hard to be precise.
06:14Things have become irregular, but...
06:17Please.
06:18I'd say she's about four months gone.
06:20It'll begin to show soon.
06:23And I don't suppose there's any way of knowing if it's a...
06:29I do beg your pardon, my lord.
06:31I thought you were alone.
06:32No, please come in, Mrs Hughes.
06:34I'm just leaving.
06:36William?
06:36Well, thank you, doctor.
06:38I'd better start writing some letters.
06:40It's your Dr Clark's note.
06:48I didn't want to bother her ladyship if she's not well.
06:51She's resting, but tell me anyway.
06:53It's Mrs Patmore, my lord.
06:56The time has come when we really have to make a decision.
07:01Hmm.
07:09Now, do you believe me?
07:11Careful, Thomas.
07:12Your position is not a strong one.
07:14Don't punish us, Mr Carson.
07:16It's Mr Bates who's wanting here.
07:18Tell me, Mr Carson, do you think it right a man like that should live and work at Downton?
07:41Mr. Napier, my lady.
07:43What a surprise.
07:45I'm afraid you've just missed my aunt.
07:48I know.
07:50I watched her leave.
07:52How are your wedding plans going?
07:55Not very well.
07:57In fact, we've decided to call it off.
07:59Really?
08:01Well, it seemed quite fixed at Sybil's Ball.
08:04What a shame.
08:06Please.
08:10It'll be better in the long run.
08:11Well, perhaps I know what high hopes you have of the institution.
08:18The thing is, Lady Mary, I'm here today because I needed to tell you something face-to-face before you
08:23went to the country.
08:25Face-to-face?
08:27Gracious me.
08:28I've recently heard gossip about the time when I came to Downton with Kamal Pamuk.
08:33Gossip that I believe has made life difficult for you.
08:38I've also heard it said that I am the source of these stories.
08:44It is very important to me that you should know that I am not.
08:48From that day to this, I have never spoken one word on the matter.
08:52Then who did?
08:54It seems to have come from the Turkish embassy.
08:57From the ambassador himself, in fact, and his wife.
09:01But who told them, if not you?
09:04This is the hard part.
09:07When I discovered the answer, I debated whether I should relay it.
09:10But in the end, I feel you ought to know.
09:12The suspense is killing me.
09:17It was your sister, Lady Edith, who wrote the ambassador.
09:21That is why people accept the story.
09:25Edith.
09:26It is very hard to believe.
09:30Harder for you than for me.
09:38I love the thought of a baby in the house, but if it's a boy...
09:42It'll be very hard on Mr. Crawley.
09:44I know.
09:46I was no great champion when he first arrived.
09:48It seems to me he's tried his best and he's done the decent thing.
09:53I can't see that coming off.
09:55You don't mean the engagement.
09:58But it's not an engagement yet, is it?
10:00She'd never throw him over.
10:04Mr. Carson, Lady Mary Crawley does not deserve you.
10:17And she's not been in touch with Cousin Matthew?
10:20Not that I've heard.
10:22Wonderful news, of course.
10:24You must look after yourself.
10:26Don't worry, O'Brien has me wrapped in silken feathers.
10:29Are you lucky?
10:31I have a horrible feeling Simmons is about to hand in her notice.
10:36She's looking very fidgety lately.
10:39And I saw her hurrying to meet the postman.
10:42Oh, you poor thing.
10:44Is there anything worse than losing one's maid?
10:48I mean, why would you want to leave me?
10:51I've been as gentle as a lamb.
11:02I want to say I'll make provision for you if it's a boy and you get pushed out.
11:07Don't worry.
11:08I know you can't.
11:10If any man living understands the strength of the entail, it's me.
11:14I can give you Crawley House for life if it's a help.
11:19Have you heard from Mary?
11:21No.
11:21Have you?
11:24By the way, I want to ask a favour.
11:25What's the name of your cook?
11:27The one you brought with you from Manchester?
11:29Mrs Bird.
11:34I'll get it, Mrs Patmore.
11:35Oh, don't fuss me.
11:37Is that everything?
11:38Yeah.
11:39How are you feeling?
11:41Well, most people's parents die before them.
11:44Oh, give it a rest.
11:45Your mother knew how to drag it out.
11:46I'll say that for her.
11:48What?
11:48Thomas!
11:49Get up to the ceremony.
11:52You gave me the wrong clock!
11:55Sit down, Mrs Patmore.
11:56I can't sit down.
11:57I've got the luncheon to finish.
11:58It was not a suggestion.
12:00Sit.
12:01Daisy and I will finish the luncheon.
12:12So he'll give us this house for life, will he?
12:14How generous.
12:15It is generous.
12:17He doesn't have to.
12:20But it's made me think.
12:23You must stay here if you want.
12:25But I wonder if it mightn't be better all round if I went back to Manchester.
12:30It may not be a boy.
12:33Really, mother?
12:34You never approved of it all in the first place.
12:36If it is a boy, you should see it as a release, not a disappointment.
12:41What does Mary say?
12:45Nothing yet.
12:48You wanted to see Mrs Bird, sir?
12:51Yes, Mrs Bird.
12:53Lord Grantham has rather a favour to ask of you.
12:58I'm surprised Lord Grantham knows that I exist, sir.
13:12I'm sorry to disturb you.
13:14Quite all right.
13:16Mr Bates, it's about your somewhat startling confession.
13:21As you'll have surmised, his lordship has yet to come to a decision.
13:25His delay is generous.
13:27However, it will be no surprise to you that Miss O'Brien has been unwilling to let things drop.
13:35It seems that when we were in London, she made a new friend.
13:39A lady's maid in the house of a colonel in your former regiment.
13:51Please tell me that this account is false, at least in part.
13:57I wish I could.
14:00We'll have to show this to his lordship.
14:02Of course you will.
14:04I do not like to play the part of Pontius Pilate, but I'm afraid I must.
14:09Lord Grantham will decide what's to be done.
14:16Mr Bates, I hope you do not feel that I've treated you unjustly.
14:22On the contrary, Mr Carson.
14:24I am astonished at your kindness.
14:39Of all of you, Sybil might find joy in a cottage.
14:43But not you.
14:44We don't know it'll be a boy.
14:45Exactly.
14:46So ask Matthew to wait until the child is born.
14:49If it's a girl, you can wed him happily, and all be as it was before.
14:52But if I delay, won't he think I'm only after him for his position?
14:56Besides, I'm not sure I want to put him off, even without the title.
15:01We get on so well, you know, and he's terribly clever.
15:05He might end up Lord Chancellor.
15:07And he might not.
15:09Oh, come along, Mary, be sensible.
15:11Can you really see yourself dawdling your life away as the wife of a country solicitor?
15:23But why would we ever want to telephone at Downson?
15:26Well, they have their uses.
15:28You could speak to the housekeeper in London.
15:30That'd be helpful, surely.
15:31I hope I have not failed in my management of the recent move.
15:35Not at all.
15:36But the telephone is here now.
15:38And the girls got used to it when we were in London.
15:41Besides, none of us know what the next few months will bring.
15:44Because of the Archduke's death.
15:46Austria won't get what it wants from Serbia.
15:48And now Russia's starting to rumble.
15:50Well, there's not much we can do about that.
15:53So, will you take care of the telephone man?
15:56Hmm.
15:56Oh, about Mr. Bates, my lord.
15:59I expect you've had time to consider the contents of that letter.
16:03Yes.
16:04But I find it very odd.
16:06Regimental silver.
16:08I could more easily see Bates as an assassin than a petty pilferer.
16:11I agree.
16:12And while the letter is hard to argue with, I wouldn't put anything past Thomas or Miss O'Brien.
16:23So, what do we miss?
16:25Nothing much.
16:26Although you'd have had more invitations than I did.
16:28Have you thought about Matthew?
16:30Of course.
16:31But Aunt Rosamilk said she's written to me I should pay no attention.
16:35But Granny, she has got a point.
16:37Mary can't be completely naive.
16:38I don't need your help, thank you.
16:40Mary, listen to me.
16:41If you take Matthew now, when his whole future is at risk,
16:45he will love you to the end of his days.
16:48Why, Granny, you're a romantic.
16:50I've been called many things, but never that.
16:53And what happens if the baby's a boy?
16:54And Matthew loses everything?
16:56Mary can always change her mind.
16:57But I can't do that to Matthew.
16:59It's not how we are together.
17:00No.
17:01No, I'm going upstairs to help Anna unpack.
17:03I'll come with you.
17:09Edith, why don't you go too?
17:15Sir Anthony Strallon was at Lady Wren's party.
17:18He answered after you.
17:27Is she really serious about him?
17:31Any port in the storm?
17:33Oh, by the way, I was right about my maid.
17:36She's leaving to get married.
17:39How could you be so selfish?
17:41I do sympathize.
17:43Robert's always wanting me to get rid of O'Brien, but I can't face it.
17:46Anyway, she's so fond of me.
17:48Well, I thought Simmons was fond of me.
17:51What am I to do?
17:53Why don't I put an advertisement in the lady?
17:55It's always the best place to start.
17:57Oh, that's so kind.
18:00I really must be going.
18:02Now, don't let Mary wait for the baby before she gives Matthew her answer.
18:08I'm sure it's another girl.
18:10I know those men of the moral high ground.
18:14If she won't say yes when he might be poor, he won't want her when he will be rich.
18:23Maybe we should knit something.
18:25Oh, yes.
18:25I'm sure they'd love a pair of booties knitted by you.
18:27Or what about a christening mug?
18:29They can buy their own silver.
18:31Anything in the pair for Thomas?
18:32They've arrested this prince at fellow honey gang.
18:35All Serbian and members of the Black Hand.
18:37The Black Hand?
18:38Oh, I don't like the sound of that.
18:40I don't like the sound of any of it.
18:41War is on the way.
18:42Then we'll have to face it as bravely as we can.
18:45Thank you, Mr. Cannonfather.
18:47Don't you think a war's coming?
18:48Oh, there'll be a war, all right.
18:50It's time to prepare for it.
18:52The country, do you mean?
18:53No, me.
18:54You never disappoint.
18:57Daisy, we're on and find Mrs. Patmore.
19:00His Lordship wants to see her in the library.
19:02His Lordship wants Mrs. Patmore to go up to the library?
19:05That is what I said.
19:07And, Anna, you're to come too.
19:12We thought the assassination of an archduke was a surprise.
19:20Mrs. Patmore, my lord.
19:28My lordship, I know things haven't been quite right for a while, but I can assure you...
19:33Come in, Mrs. Patmore.
19:36I promise you, my lord, if I could just be allowed a bit more time...
19:40Mrs. Patmore, I've not asked you here to give you your notice.
19:44Haven't you?
19:44No.
19:45I understand you've had some trouble with your sight.
19:48That's just it.
19:49I know I could manage better if I...
19:50Please, Mrs. Patmore.
19:51Let him speak.
19:54Beg pardon, my lord.
19:55Don't apologise.
19:56Now, on Dr. Clarkson's recommendation, I'm sending you up to London to see an eye specialist at Moorfields.
20:01Anna will go with you, and you'll stay with my sister Rosamund in her new house in Belgrave Square.
20:07I'm afraid I'm going to have to sit in your presence, my lord.
20:10Of course.
20:14But how will you get on here?
20:18Well, Mrs. Crawley is lending us her cook, Mrs. Bird.
20:22She's coming over tomorrow.
20:24You'll be good enough to show her how things work.
20:26Are the Crawley's to starve while I'm away?
20:29They'll eat here every evening.
20:31Now, my sister's butler will look after you.
20:33He's very nice.
20:35Anna, you won't mind a visit to London?
20:37No, my lord.
20:39It'll be an adventure.
20:41One with a happy ending, I hope.
20:52Let me get this clear.
20:53At Sybil's Ball, you said you'd give me your answer the day you got back, and now you say you
20:56will not.
20:57Why do we have to rush into it?
20:58I need to be sure, that's all.
21:00But you were sure.
21:02Shall I tell you what I think has altered you?
21:04My prospects, because nothing else has changed.
21:06No.
21:06Yes.
21:07If your mother's child is a boy, then he's the heir, and I go back to living on my wits,
21:10and you'd rather not follow me.
21:11Oh, Matthew, you always make everything so black and white.
21:15I think this is black and white.
21:17Do you love me enough to spend your life with me?
21:20If you don't, then say no.
21:22If you do, then say yes.
21:24I want to...
21:26Granny told me I should say yes now, then withdraw if you lost everything.
21:33To make that work, you'd have to be a good liar.
21:37Are you a good liar?
21:39Well, not good enough to try it, apparently.
21:42I don't know.
21:47How could you not have realized they'd discover the loss at once?
21:51And to keep them in your house?
21:54But you only served two years.
21:56That's right, my lord.
21:58So, clearly the judge thought there was some mitigating factor.
22:02I just want to know the truth.
22:05I cannot speak of it, my lord.
22:08You must decide whether I stay or go on the basis of the evidence before you.
22:12I will respect that.
22:20Sorry.
22:21I don't believe it.
22:23How can you say that?
22:24Well, I've confessed to the crime.
22:27Well, his lordship obviously doesn't think that's all there is to it.
22:30And I don't either.
22:32Anna, are you set for the nine o'clock train tomorrow?
22:35All packed in my day.
22:36You'll be met at King's Cross by Lady Rosamund's chauffeur,
22:39which I think is generous, but after that, you're on your own.
22:43Right, I must get on.
22:45I'm acting referee for Mrs Patmore and Mrs Bird.
22:48Best of luck.
22:55Will you miss me?
22:58Try not to miss me.
23:00It'll be good practice.
23:06I expect it'll be hard adjusting to this kitchen,
23:10to the one you're used to.
23:12Not to worry.
23:13I'm sure I can have it cleaned up in no time.
23:16Cleaned up?
23:17I'm not criticising.
23:19With your eyesight, it's a wonder you could see the pots at all.
23:23You have met Daisy and the others?
23:26I have.
23:27And what they all find to do is a mystery to me.
23:30Are you not used to managing staff, Mrs Bird?
23:32I'm used to getting it done with one kitchen maid, Mrs Patmore.
23:37But I suppose in a house like this,
23:40you expect to take it easy.
23:44Do you think we should erect a ring and let them fight it out?
23:47Yeah, she's all right, Mrs Bird.
23:49She's more of a general than a trooper, but...
23:51You need that in a cook.
23:54Mrs Patmore's the generalissimo.
24:03Well, I'm very sad.
24:07I thought Mary was made of better stuff.
24:09Don't speak against her.
24:12Of course, she's taken advice from someone with false and greedy values.
24:15Oh, Mother.
24:16And we don't have to go too far to know who that is.
24:18Mother.
24:18I have a good mind to...
24:19Not to go near, Cousin Violet.
24:20That is an order.
24:23Something's not right about it.
24:25I agree.
24:26Having a silver thief in the house does not seem right at all.
24:29Even if he could walk.
24:32But Carson isn't keen to get rid of him either.
24:34And he normally comes down on this sort of thing like a ton of bricks.
24:36What's his reasoning?
24:38He blames Thomas and O'Brien.
24:41He says they've been working against Bates since he got here.
24:44So I should sack O'Brien instead?
24:46You'll hear no argument from me.
24:47This should do the trick, my lady.
24:54Ten years of my life, that's what I've given her.
24:56Ten bloody years.
24:57But did she say she'd sack you?
24:59It's obviously what he wants.
25:01So when will they tell you?
25:02When they find a replacement.
25:04Heaven for fence, she should have to put a comb through her own hair.
25:07And if I'm going, you won't be far behind.
25:09Oh, so what?
25:11Sodom.
25:12There's a war coming and war means change.
25:14We should be making plans.
25:16What are you talking about?
25:17Well, put it like this.
25:19I don't want to be a footman anymore, but I don't intend to be killed in battle neither.
25:30I'm not saying poison them.
25:33Just make sure they don't find her food all that agreeable.
25:36I poison it.
25:37Will you stop that?
25:39You don't want it to taste that.
25:41I want them to be glad when I get back.
25:44That's all.
25:49This will be for the family and the one in my pantry is for the staff.
25:53Or more precisely, me.
25:55We don't normally provide two.
25:57Then perhaps we should find another supplier.
25:59Hold your horses.
26:01Right.
26:02Where do you see this other telephone?
26:04Here.
26:05In the outer hall.
26:10Good afternoon, Carson.
26:11Is Lady Edith in?
26:12I am.
26:13I most certainly am.
26:15I was just driving past.
26:17Yes.
26:17And I thought you might like to come for a spin.
26:19If you're not too busy.
26:20Wait till I get my coat.
26:21Is it all right if I make some notes?
26:23I'm so sorry, Mr...
26:25This is Mr. Bromwich, my lady.
26:28He's here about the telephone.
26:30Oh, please make your notes to Mr. Bromwich.
26:32We're so looking forward to it.
26:34What an exciting business to be in.
26:35You must be expanding every day.
26:37Oh, we are, sir.
26:38But that brings its problems.
26:41Training up men for the work when many have no aptitude.
26:44I can't even find a secretary who can keep pace at the moment.
26:47What?
26:48It's hard with a new concept.
26:49Too old, they can't change.
26:52Too young, and they've no experience.
26:54But have you filled the post yet?
26:55Because I know just the woman.
26:56Well, she must hurry up.
26:58We'll close the list tomorrow night.
26:59You'll have her application.
27:00I promise.
27:16This isn't bad at all, is it?
27:18I don't know.
27:20No one told me there'd be an actual operation.
27:23What did you think?
27:24They were just going to make magic passes over your eyes?
27:29All right, Mrs. Atmore.
27:31She'll be fine.
27:34And you've been sent to us by the Earl of Grantham?
27:37That's right.
27:38Very good.
27:40You can leave for now.
27:41We'll keep her in for a week.
27:42You can collect her next Friday.
27:48I'll be in to visit every day.
27:50What about the rest of the time?
27:52Don't worry.
28:05You'll be fine.
28:35I'll be in to visit every day.
28:47Bates, you say?
28:49John Bates.
28:50He must have left the army about eight years ago.
28:54Wait here, please.
29:08Have you finished the soup?
29:09I think so, Mrs Bird.
29:12And the sauce for the fish?
29:13Yes, Mrs Bird.
29:14Well then put them in the warmer.
29:45You don't mean John Bates, who went to prison for theft?
29:49That's correct.
29:51Well, I know who he is, right enough.
29:53It's an odd business.
29:55Why odd?
29:58Never mind.
29:59So you're his cousin and you'd like to be in touch?
30:04Very forgiving.
30:05Well, I've got no address for him or his wife.
30:08But I've got one for his mother, which should still be good.
30:11Bring it down for you.
30:16Thank you for your trouble.
30:30Is it true you wrote to the Turkish ambassador about Kamal?
30:34Who told you?
30:35Someone who knows that you did.
30:37Then why are you asking?
30:39Because I wanted to give you one last chance to deny it.
30:43Then what if I did?
30:45He had a right to know how his countryman died.
30:48In the arms of a slut.
30:55How's that advertisement getting on for the new maid?
30:58Well, it's only just come out.
31:01William, I know I can manage here now.
31:03Go and tell Mrs Bird we'll have our dinner in 20 minutes.
31:05Carson, be sure to say to Mrs Bird the dinner was really delicious.
31:13Oh, thank you.
31:17So, how was the drive?
31:19It was lovely.
31:22Only...
31:23When they're in London, at least.
31:24Yes?
31:25Well, I suspect this is going to be the coming thing.
31:27Well, he said he had a question for me.
31:31He told me he'd ask it at the garden party and he hopes I'll say yes.
31:37Yes, I could.
31:38Carson's very wary.
31:39You must think very carefully what your answer will be.
31:42Yes, I should think very carefully about a lot of things.
31:47Do your neighbours have one?
31:49Yes, they do.
31:50In London, anyway.
31:51It seems very wise to get a telephone now.
31:52If there is a war, it may be very hard to have one installed in a private house.
31:55Well, let me show you where we're going to put it.
31:57Oh.
31:58First, electricity in our telephones.
32:01Sometimes I feel as if I were living in an H.G. Wells novel.
32:06But the young are all so calm about change, aren't they?
32:11Look at Matthew.
32:12I do admire.
32:15Do you?
32:19What have I done wrong now?
32:20Oh, please.
32:21Don't pretend Mary's sudden reluctance can't be traced back to you.
32:26Well, I shall pretend it.
32:27I told her to take him.
32:29Your quarrel is with my daughter Rosamund, not me.
32:33So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
32:45Mr. Mowesley.
32:47What are you after?
32:49I wanted to work with Mr. Carson.
32:50I'm here to have my dinner.
32:51You don't want much, do you?
32:53What are you doing?
32:56Mr. Carson dropped his wallet in the passage.
32:58I was replacing it.
33:08But everything seems so settled between you at Sybil's Ball.
33:12Things have changed since then.
33:15Not necessarily.
33:17I don't seem to be much good at making boys.
33:20Any more than I'm much good at building my life on shifting sands.
33:26You do know I should be very proud to have you as my son-in-law, whatever your prospect.
33:32Unfortunately, sir, your daughter is more practical than you.
33:40Will you join us, Mrs. Bird?
33:42I don't mind if I do.
33:44I'm not sure Mrs. Patmore would like that, Mr. Carson.
33:46Cook always eats separate, that's what she says.
33:49Not in our house.
33:50There's only the four of us.
33:52You're going any minute.
33:53She's advertised for your replacement.
33:55That filthy, ungrateful cow.
33:59Let the kitchen maids have theirs on their own.
34:02You stay with us.
34:04A lady ship said to tell you that the dinner was delicious.
34:07Calf.
34:08Daisy?
34:09Does that surprise you?
34:28What have you done with this, you little beggar?
34:30I knew it.
34:31That's why I said it was for upstairs.
34:34Come on, tell us what's in it.
34:38Just water and a bit of salt.
34:45And you've put something in the fish sauce as well?
34:47Well, only mustard and anise.
34:53Why, Daisy?
34:54Why would you do such a thing?
34:56Because Mrs. Patmore was worried that they prefer Mrs. Bird's cooking and they wouldn't want her to come back.
35:03Is that likely?
35:04When they've taken such trouble to get her well?
35:07I'm sorry.
35:14There, there.
35:17There are worse crimes on earth than loyalty.
35:20Dry your eyes.
35:22And fetch the beef stew I was making for tomorrow.
35:25You have not had a chance to spoil that, I suppose.
35:29I was going to mix in some syrup of figs, but I've not done it yet.
35:35Well, at least it would have all been regular.
35:41Carson said you were here.
35:43Just checking that everything's been done right, my lady.
35:46Only we never heard back.
35:47That is, Miss Dawson never heard back from you.
35:50About an interview?
35:51Ah, yes.
35:53We got the young lady's letter, but the trouble is she didn't have any experience of hard work that I
35:58could tell, so...
35:58But she's a very hard worker.
36:00Well, I couldn't find any proof of it.
36:02And she gave you as a reference when you don't run a business, my lady.
36:06Well, not that I'm aware of.
36:09Lily, can you find Gwen and tell her to come to the hall now?
36:12Yes, my lady.
36:13The reason Gwen didn't give any more details is because she works here as a housemaid.
36:20Ah, and you thought that would put me off.
36:22But she's taken a postal course and has good speeds in typing and Pittman shorthand tests her.
36:27Oh, well, I like the look of her.
36:30Ah, so, young lady, you thought I'd turn up my nose at a housemaid.
36:35Oh, I did, sir.
36:36Well, my mother was a housemaid.
36:39I've got nothing against housemaids.
36:41They know about hard work and long hours, that's for sure.
36:44Well, I believe so, sir.
36:46Right, well, is there somewhere we could talk?
36:48Gwen, take Mr. Bourridge to the library.
36:50I'll see no one disturbs you.
37:03Sorry, Papa, you can't go in there.
37:05Why on earth not?
37:07Gwen's in there with Mr. Bourridge.
37:09She's being interviewed.
37:11I cannot use my library because one of the housemaids is in there applying for another job.
37:16It's about size, Ned.
37:27So, what is it you want to know?
37:31I want to know the truth about the case against him.
37:36I want to know why the sergeant thought it was odd.
37:39I want to know what Mr. Bates isn't saying.
37:43Because you don't believe him to be guilty?
37:45No, I don't.
37:47I know he's not.
37:52Well, you're right, of course.
37:56Then who was it?
37:58Who was the thief?
38:01His wife, Vera.
38:06Who do you call?
38:07No one you know has got one.
38:09Well, they will have.
38:10You'll see.
38:11Might I inquire why my pantry has become a common room?
38:15Sorry, Mr. Carson.
38:17But do you know how it works?
38:20Of course I do.
38:22Will you show us?
38:23Certainly not.
38:24A telephone is not a toy, but a useful and valuable tool.
38:28Go back to work.
38:53She worked at the barrack sometimes, helping at big dinners and so on.
38:57Well, that night her opportunity came and she took it.
39:01They knew it was her.
39:04Someone even saw her with a big carry-all.
39:06But why did he confess?
39:09Well, Jan wasn't the same man in those days.
39:14The African War had shaken him up and made him angry.
39:18He'd been wounded.
39:20And he'd drank a lot more than was good for him.
39:25Was he violent?
39:27No.
39:28No, not violent.
39:30It could be hard at times, with a tongue like a razor.
39:34He felt he'd ruined Vera's life, Miss Smith.
39:39Do you agree with him?
39:40No.
39:42No.
39:42I thought she was a nasty piece of work.
39:44But that's why he took the blame.
39:50Surely, if everyone knew he was innocent...
39:52But he confessed.
39:54There was nothing anybody could do once he confessed.
40:03Could I ask you something, sir?
40:05Only, I get the feeling that I was on the way.
40:09I'm afraid we all do.
40:10And when it comes, I want to be really useful to my country.
40:13How heartily.
40:13So, I've been thinking what could be more useful than what you do?
40:17Bringing people back to health?
40:18Back to life?
40:19I see.
40:21Well, um, we are looking for volunteers to train for the Territorial Force Hospitals, if that's what you mean.
40:27It's exactly what I mean.
40:29Will you not be missed here?
40:30Maybe, but we'll all be going, won't we?
40:32The younger men, anyway.
40:35As you wish.
40:36I'll make inquiries.
40:37Thank you very much, Doctor.
40:42Mr Molesley walked in, and there he was, as bold as brass, taking my wallet out of my change coat.
40:49Mr Molesley would have no reason to make it up, my lord.
40:52He doesn't know Thomas.
40:53Why would he lie?
40:55So Thomas has been caught red-handed.
40:57Well, we knew he was a thief, didn't we?
40:59And now we have unimpeachable proof.
41:02I'm afraid he has to go.
41:04Oh, I hate this sort of thing.
41:06With Lady Grantham's condition and everything.
41:08Can we at least wait until after the garden party?
41:11Very well, my lord.
41:12But then, I think we must act.
41:19How long will you wear them?
41:21A week or so.
41:22But I can see much better already, even with them on.
41:25Thank heaven.
41:26Now, we need to talk about the garden party.
41:29Mrs Bird and I have made some lists.
41:31What? Mrs Bird?
41:32I think we can manage without any help from Mrs Bird.
41:35Can you?
41:37Well, if you want your garden party to be run by a blind pew, that's your business.
41:43Mrs Patmore, there's a lot to be done and you're only just up on your feet.
41:47We really cannot manage without Mrs Bird.
41:49If you say so.
41:51Now, I've been checking the stores and I've ordered what you'll need for the baking.
41:55That's very kind, Mrs Hughes, but I believe we should check the stores when it's convenient.
42:02Mrs Bird, at Downton Abbey, the housekeeper manages a store cupboard.
42:06I've never not run my own store cupboard in my life.
42:11Separate the cook from the store cupboard?
42:13Where's the sense in that?
42:14How long have I been saying this, O Lord?
42:17We're the ones who cook it.
42:19We should be the ones to order it.
42:21Mrs Bird, I shall be very happy with your help with the garden party.
42:26I'm sure we can manage it easily.
42:28Between the two of us.
42:44Hello, this is Downton Abbey.
42:47Carson the butler speaking.
42:57Hello, this is Mr Carson the butler of Downton Abbey.
43:02To whom am I speaking?
43:06I'm not shouting.
43:08Well, who are you?
43:10Oh, Mrs Gaunt.
43:13No, I don't want to place a call.
43:16I was practising my answer.
43:19Well, I dare say a lot of the things you do sound stupid to other people.
43:25I've written to your mother.
43:26She's very anxious.
43:29Naturally.
43:30She suggested coming over.
43:31Oh, God.
43:32Yeah, well, that's what I thought.
43:34So I put her off.
43:35Told her to come and admire the baby.
43:39I'll just go and run your leadership's bath.
43:41Thank you, O'Brien.
43:42Oh, have you had any answers about the position?
43:45Quite a few.
43:50So what do they sound like?
43:52This one I think has real possibilities.
43:55She looked at her in Paris while she was working for the Ambassador.
43:58Oh.
43:59Oh, that sounds promising.
44:04Carson, I've been meaning...
44:05Your Lordship.
44:07Oh.
44:07Anna, you're back safely then.
44:09Yes, thank you, my Lord.
44:12And Mrs Patmore's fighting fit again.
44:14Fighting fits, the phrase.
44:17Is something the matter?
44:19I wanted to see your Lordship, because...
44:21Please.
44:25While I was in London, I learned something about Mr Bates.
44:31Not bad, I hope.
44:32No.
44:33Not bad at all.
44:35I'd have told Mr Carson, but...
44:37I thought you might like to hear it from me first.
44:39Go on.
44:41You see, I went to call on Mr Bates' mother.
44:49Oh, Brian.
44:51How long do you think it takes a lady's maid to settle in?
44:56Depends on the maid, my lady.
44:59Of course it does.
45:02Oops.
45:03Sorry.
45:07Sorry.
45:08Sorry.
45:09Sorry.
45:10Sorry.
45:11Sorry.
45:12Sorry.
45:15The other half's under the bath.
45:17Never mind.
45:20I'll just come sew.
45:21Take your clothes for a minute.
45:22Okay.
45:38Sarah O'Brien, this is not who you are.
45:43My lady, if you could just wait.
45:54The doctor's gone, your Lordship, but he's coming back after dinner.
45:57Lady Mary's with her now.
46:02I don't suppose you'll want to change, but is there anything else I can do to be useful?
46:09It was a boy.
46:16I'm sorry.
46:17I don't mean to embarrass you.
46:19I'm not embarrassed.
46:21I just wish you could have inspired this.
46:23I know you do.
46:30By the way, Anna's told me what she learned in London.
46:32Has she?
46:34She's not told me.
46:36Oh, well, the good news is you won't be leaving Downton.
46:42And I need some good news today.
46:57That poor wee babe.
47:01How's the ladyship doing?
47:03I'll take her up a tree in a minute, but I dare say she won't touch her bite.
47:08What about you, Miss O'Brien?
47:11What about me?
47:13That must have been quite a shock.
47:15Yes.
47:16Yes, it was.
47:17I think you'd better dine with us, Mr. Branson.
47:20We can't know if you might be needed later.
47:22Well, I'm to go for the doctor at ten.
47:28What a long-faced lot.
47:30Kind of show some respect.
47:32Come on, Mr. Carson.
47:33She'll get over it.
47:34They're no bigger than a hamster at that stage.
47:37Will you shut up?
47:39I agree.
47:39What is the matter with you, Thomas?
47:41I don't know.
47:42I suppose all this makes me feel claustrophobic.
47:45I mean, I'm sorry.
47:46Of course I am.
47:47But why must we live through them?
47:49They're just our employers.
47:50They're not our flesh and blood.
47:52Thomas, don't be so unkind.
47:53Is there nothing left on earth that you respect?
47:57Look at him.
47:59Blimey, he'll be carried on like this for the unborn baby of a woman who scarcely knows his name.
48:03No wonder he fell to pieces when his old mum snuffed it.
48:13Thomas!
48:15Stop that!
48:15That is enough!
48:23Come on, people!
48:24Come on, people!
48:26Calm down!
48:39How are they coming?
48:39Come on, people!
48:46Come on, people!
48:55Come on, people!
48:57Come on, people!
48:59Come on, people!
49:00Come on, people!
49:00Come on, people!
49:00Come on, people!
49:01Come on, people!
49:01Come on, people!
49:01Come on, people!
49:01Come on, people!
49:02Come on, people!
49:02Come on, people!
49:03Come on, people!
49:04Come on, people!
49:06Come on, people!
49:08Come on, people!
49:11Oh, Thomas.
49:16I've done as I promised.
49:18General Burton is commanding the division at Richmond.
49:20I think I may have a police there for you.
49:23And Colonel Cartwright, these are the papers.
49:26When you're ready, report to the local recruiting office,
49:29and they'll take it from there.
49:31As a matter of fact, I'm being drafted back in as a captain,
49:34so I'll try to keep an eye on you.
49:36That's very kind of you, Doctor.
49:37Yeah. With any luck, there may be some advantage
49:40in your having volunteered so early.
49:44Oh, hang on a minute.
49:46Now, give me yours and take this one at the same time.
49:48William, I'm sorry I've been so unkind to you lately.
49:50Oh, that's all right.
49:51No, it's not all right. I don't know why I said those things.
49:52Well, you're under an evil spell.
49:53I'm not under it any more.
49:55I'm glad.
49:55Friends?
49:56Always friends.
50:02I think we should start the ices now.
50:04If you agree, Mrs Patmore.
50:08Oh, my Lord, listen to that.
50:10It's like the cry of a banshee.
50:13Mr Carson's telephone is ringing.
50:17But isn't someone going to answer it?
50:19I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten-foot pole.
50:21Well, I will then.
50:29No, Mr Carson's busy.
50:31But can I take a message?
50:37I wish ours was.
50:39I've got news, m'lady.
50:49Mr Bromwich has rung.
50:51You've done it, Gwen.
50:51You've got the job.
50:53You've got the ticket.
50:54Take it.
50:56Something to celebrate?
50:58I've got the job, Mrs Hughes.
51:00I'm the secretary.
51:01I'm for good.
51:02I'm very happy for you, Gwen.
51:03And we'll celebrate after we finish today's work.
51:06Of course, Mrs Hughes.
51:10I don't suppose that...
51:11Lady Sibyl.
51:13Her ladyship was asking after you.
51:23Be careful, my lad.
51:25Or you'll end up with no job and a broken heart.
51:28What do you mean?
51:36I don't seem to be able to find your sister.
51:38I wonder where she is.
51:40Of course, she may have been cornered.
51:42I know there was some old boar she was trying to dodge.
51:45Who was that?
51:46I'm not sure.
51:47It's simply ghastly, apparently.
51:49But he's promised to propose today.
51:51I can't tell you how funny she was when she acted it out.
51:54She ought to go on the stage.
51:55Really?
51:57Oh, how amusing.
52:00Well done, Mrs Hughes.
52:02Beautifully executed, as always.
52:04The key is in the planning.
52:07Mr Carson, this probably isn't the moment,
52:09but I've just heard from Dr Clarkson
52:10and I've been accepted for a training scheme
52:12for the Army Medical Corps.
52:13Have you indeed?
52:15Yes, and I want to do it,
52:16so I'll be handing in my notice.
52:17I'll save out the month, of course.
52:19Thank you, Thomas.
52:20We can talk about it later.
52:25And you couldn't have planned that any better, either.
52:31You can't be leaving yet.
52:33I'm afraid I must.
52:36Please, make my excuses to your mother.
52:38But I...
52:40But I...
53:08I wish you'd come inside, my lady.
53:11No.
53:14People mustn't think I'm really ill.
53:18I don't want to cast a dampener on the party.
53:21Very well.
53:24But are you sure you have everything you need, my lady?
53:31Dear O'Brien.
53:35How sweet you are.
53:43O'Brien.
53:44O'Brien.
53:46Can I have a word?
53:48I need a favour,
53:49and I don't want to bother Lady Grantham with it.
53:51Certainly, my lady.
53:52She's been helping me find a new maid,
53:54and we've had quite a few answers from her advertisement.
53:58Can you find where she's put them
53:59and get Branson to bring them to the Dower House?
54:01Her ladyship was helping you find a new lady's maid?
54:04Yes.
54:04We should have asked you, really.
54:07You might take a look at the letters if you have a minute.
54:10There's one we like the sound of
54:12who'd been trained in Paris.
54:16Do you know where she might have put them?
54:19The answers?
54:21Oh, yes, my lady.
54:22There are only two or three places there could be.
54:24Oh.
54:25Thank you, O'Brien.
54:26You're a treasure.
54:33I didn't know a garden party was a spectator sport.
54:37Pretty, though, isn't it?
54:39Hard to believe the clouds are gathering on a summer's day like this.
54:43Mr Bates,
54:45I know you think I was wrong to call on your mother.
54:47I don't think that.
54:50She likes you, by the way.
54:53I had to find out the truth.
54:55But you see, you don't know the whole truth.
54:57Not even now.
54:58You know my mother's truth.
55:00But not your wife's.
55:04Where is she now?
55:05I couldn't tell you.
55:10I'd better get back.
55:16You here, Mr Moseley?
55:17I didn't know that.
55:18Just helping out.
55:21Nice girl, that Anna.
55:23Do you know if she's got anyone special in her life?
55:26I'd like to say she hasn't.
55:28I would truly, but I'm afraid there is someone.
55:31Do you think he's keen on her, or is it worth a go?
55:33Well, well, he keeps himself to himself.
55:37It's very hard to read at times, but I'd say he's keen.
55:41I'd say he's very keen indeed.
55:46Daisy, I said ices, not iced cakes.
55:51Now unclog your ears and get these to William before they turn into soup.
55:57But I don't understand.
55:58Nothing's changed.
55:59Everything's changed.
56:00You can't be sure I was going to refuse you, even if it had been a boy.
56:04Because I'm not.
56:05That's the point.
56:06I can't be sure.
56:07Of you, or of anything, it seems.
56:10The last few weeks have taught me that.
56:11But you can't leave Downton.
56:13I can't stay.
56:15Not now.
56:16What will you tell Papa?
56:18That I'm grateful for what he's trying to do.
56:21The experiment is at an end.
56:24I'm not a puppet.
56:25I must take charge of my own life again.
56:28Would you have stayed?
56:30If I'd accepted you.
56:34Of course.
56:37So I've ruined everything.
56:40You've shown me I've been living in a dream.
56:43And it's time to return to real life.
56:47Wish me luck with it, Mary.
56:49God knows I wish the best for you.
57:05Well, Rosamund, I'm afraid your meddling has cost Mary the only decent offer she'll ever get.
57:12I'm sorry, Mama, but you know me.
57:14I have to say what I think.
57:15Why?
57:17Nobody else does.
57:28I do quite well, my lady.
57:31Of course.
57:33You know me, Carson.
57:36I'm never down for long.
57:44I know you have spirit, my lady.
57:47That's what counts.
57:49It's all that counts in the end.
57:55Never.
57:58So Mary is to be denied her countess's coronet after all.
58:02Don't crow at me.
58:04I think she was very foolish not to take him when she could.
58:06But I told her so.
58:08Well, if I'm perfectly honest, I wonder if Matthew is making the same mistake right now.
58:18Are you warm enough?
58:21I am when you're holding my hand.
58:24Your Lordship, this has just arrived for you.
58:28Oh, and I'm happy to tell you that Thomas has just handed in his notice.
58:31So we'll be spared any unpleasantness on that score.
58:34What a relief.
58:49Please, would you stop, please?
58:52My lords, ladies and gentlemen.
58:55Can I ask for silence?
59:00Because I very much regret to announce
59:03that we are at war with Germany.
59:10Thanks for listening.
59:14We'll see you next to us.
