00:17That's the last of the equipment gone.
00:19The maids have put the drawing room back to normal.
00:35I'm walking down to the village. I want to have a word with Travis.
00:38You know that Richard will be here in a moment.
00:40That's why I'm telling you.
00:41Give him my excuses. I'll see him at dinner.
00:43Is there any news on the Bates situation?
00:46Not that I'm aware of.
00:47So you still want to keep him on?
00:49Cora, Bates' wife has committed suicide.
00:51It's very sad, of course, but not, when I last looked, a reason to sack him.
00:56They've taken the rest of the beds.
01:01So that's the finish of it.
01:02Not quite. We still have Matthew.
01:04And I wanted to ask you, isn't it time you went home?
01:08I see. You want to throw him out.
01:12Robert, I want him to learn to be as independent as he can.
01:15And I want Mary to get on with her life. What's wrong with that?
01:18Is there something you're not telling me?
01:19What do you mean?
01:20About Mary and Matthew. Some element you haven't told me.
01:24Of course not. You're being silly.
01:26If thinking that trying to protect Mary with a ring of steel is silly, then yes, I am very silly.
01:46You shouldn't be doing that.
01:48Let us hope the end of the war brings the return of the footman, Mr Crawley.
01:52Do you think they will return?
01:54I certainly hope so.
01:55I'm sure Sir Richard can buy you a dozen when you get to Haxby.
02:09Let me.
02:11Oh, no, my lord, I can manage.
02:14The handle broke.
02:15Aren't we feeding you?
02:16They're from my mother's apple store.
02:18She always loads me up.
02:23How's your boy doing?
02:24Er, Freddie?
02:26Yes, Freddie.
02:28He's doing very well.
02:30I wrote to the headmaster of Ripon Grammar.
02:31I said to look out for him.
02:35That's so kind, my lord.
02:36I hope it works.
02:37I don't really see why it should, but you never know.
02:42I suppose you miss your husband very much.
02:45Of course.
02:48But I have Freddie.
02:50And when you think of what some families have gone through...
02:52I know.
02:54Almost 30 dead on this estate alone.
02:56And the Elkerts down at Longway lost three out of four sons.
03:00Mrs Carter's only boy was killed a month before the end of the war.
03:07Poor William.
03:10And then there's Matthew.
03:11And then there's Matthew.
03:16Do you ever wonder what it was all for?
03:27I'd better go in, my lord.
03:46The train was late.
03:48Welcome to the new world.
03:50When a war is over, the first emotion is relief.
03:53The second, disappointment.
03:55How sad.
03:57How true.
03:59Come in and have some tea.
04:06Will you miss the extra staff, Mrs Patmore?
04:09Not really.
04:10When push comes to shove, I'd rather do it myself.
04:13Oh, God knows what I'm to feed them on.
04:15There's nothing out there to be had.
04:17Oh, well.
04:18The Lord tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.
04:22What about you, Thomas?
04:23How much longer will you stay?
04:25Well, now the last of the invalids have gone, I suppose I'm finished.
04:28I report to Major Clarkson, but he won't be taking anyone on.
04:33I suppose the hospital revert to the way it was before the war.
04:36Where will you go?
04:37What's it to you?
04:50Where will you go?
04:51I'll tell you where I'm going.
04:52Into business.
04:53It's all set up.
04:54Do you mean black market business?
04:57Don't look so surprised.
04:59Found a dealer, and as soon as I make the payment, I'll have the supplies.
05:04Where will you keep them?
05:04I've got a shed in the village.
05:07I'm going to get a banger to deliver the stuff.
05:09I'll be well fixed as soon as the wind gets out.
05:11You heard her.
05:12There are shortages all round.
05:16Isn't it dangerous?
05:17I don't think so.
05:18I don't think the police are bothered about rationing now the war's over.
05:22It won't last forever.
05:24But by the time it's done, I should have enough to go into business properly.
05:27So that's your future settled as a plutocrat.
05:30In the meantime, have you found somewhere to live?
05:32I mean, you have.
05:33But there's no hurry.
05:35I'm sure they won't object to have a stop here for a week or two.
05:38I shouldn't bet on it.
05:46I nearly put out the new dinner jacket, my lord, but then Mr. Carson said the dowager was dining here.
05:50Quite right.
05:51Must have frightened the horses.
05:54By the way, her ladyship was asking if there's any more news about Mrs. Bates.
05:59I don't think so, my lord.
06:02They'd like to know why she did it, but I don't suppose we ever shall.
06:05You'd think she'd leave a note.
06:07Perhaps it was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
06:09Well, it can't have been, can it?
06:11And wouldn't she have to get hold of the stuff?
06:17Please forgive me.
06:17I was thinking aloud.
06:19We'll drop the subject.
06:23Anna?
06:27It is Anna, isn't it?
06:29Yes, sir.
06:30I want to ask a favour of you.
06:31Of me, Sir Richard?
06:32You.
06:33I've been waiting for you.
06:34I wonder if you could step into my room for a moment.
06:47You attend Lady Mary and her sisters, don't you?
06:51In addition to your other duties.
06:54I do, sir, yes.
06:55You must be kept very busy.
06:57I hope it's worth your while.
07:00Because I would be very willing to increase your stipend.
07:04If this is about coming with Lady Mary when you marry, it's very good of you, sir.
07:08But you see, my fiancé, Mr. Bates, works here and I don't think that I...
07:11No, it's not that, although it's a pity.
07:14Lady Mary's very fond of you.
07:17That's kind.
07:19You see, I'm anxious to make Lady Mary happy.
07:25Of course you are, sir.
07:26And to that end, I feel I need to know a great deal more about her than I do.
07:31Our customs are so strange in this country.
07:33A couple is hardly allowed a moment alone together before they walk down the aisle.
07:38I'm not sure I understand, sir.
07:41I'd like to know more about her interests.
07:45Where she goes.
07:47When she sees.
07:48What she says to them.
07:50Excuse me, sir.
07:52Do you mean you want me to give you a report of Lady Mary's actions?
07:55It'll be extra work, but I'm happy to pay.
07:58I'm sure.
08:01But I'm afraid I wouldn't have the time.
08:03Thank you, sir.
08:05It's your choice, of course.
08:10I'd be grateful if you didn't mention this to Lady Mary.
08:14I wouldn't want her to think I was checking up on her.
08:27I nearly came down in a dinner jacket tonight.
08:30Oh, really?
08:30Well, why not a dressing gown?
08:32Or better still, pajamas.
08:34That's why I didn't.
08:36I like the new fashions.
08:38Shorter skirts.
08:39Looser cuts.
08:40The old clothes were all very well if one spent the day on a chaise longue.
08:44But if one wants to get anything done, the new clothes are much better.
08:47Yeah.
08:48I'll stick to the chaise longue.
08:50But, Granny, you don't really want things to go back to the way they were, surely?
08:53Of course I do.
08:53And as quickly as possible.
08:56What about you, Papa?
08:58Before the war, I believed my life had value.
09:00I suppose I should like to feel that again.
09:07Have you seen the boys' haircuts the women are wearing in Paris?
09:11I hope you won't try that.
09:14I might.
09:16I'm not sure how feminine it is.
09:18I'm not sure how feminine I am.
09:20Very, I'm glad to say.
09:24Carson, I keep forgetting to tell Mrs. Hughes we've had a letter from Major Bryant's mother.
09:29She and her husband are in Yorkshire on Friday and she wants to pay us a visit.
09:32Why?
09:33The last time they saw him alive, it was here.
09:35I can understand.
09:37Will I be staying, my lady?
09:38No, but we'll give them luncheon.
09:39That way, they can talk about the Major with all of us who knew him.
09:44That lets me out, thank heaven.
09:55You look very fine.
09:57Everything I own is from my season before the war.
10:00I'm trying to wear them out.
10:04Where have you been all day?
10:05Nowhere.
10:06I've just been busy.
10:08I envy you.
10:10I feel so flat after the rush and bustle of the last two years.
10:15They were sighing for the old days at dinner.
10:17But all I could do is think about how much more I want from life now than I did then.
10:21Does this mean that you've made up your mind?
10:24At last?
10:27Not quite.
10:29But almost.
10:33What do you mean, how did she say it?
10:36Mr. and Mrs. Bryant are coming for luncheon on Friday.
10:39How are things over at Haxby?
10:42Pretty good.
10:43Building materials are in short supply.
10:46But Sir Richard knows how to get around that.
10:49I bet he does.
10:51You should see some of the gadgets in the kitchens.
10:54And the bathrooms.
10:55Oh, goodness me.
10:57They're like something out of a film with Theda Barra.
10:59I'm surprised you know who Theda Barra is.
11:02Oh, I get about, Mrs. Hughes.
11:04I get about.
11:06But will you be happy there?
11:08That's what I want to be sure of.
11:10If you're asking whether I'll regret leaving Downton,
11:16I will regret it every minute of every day.
11:19I thought I would die here and haunt it ever after.
11:24Well, then.
11:26You see, I think I can help her
11:29in those early years when it's important to get it right.
11:32And if I can help her,
11:36then I must.
11:38I wish I could understand.
11:41To me, Lady Mary is an uppity minx
11:43who's the author of her own misfortunes.
11:46You didn't know her when she was a child, Mrs. Hughes.
11:49She was a guinea minute then.
11:52I remember once.
11:54She came in here.
11:55She's got to be more than four or five years old.
11:57She said,
11:58Mr. Carson,
12:00I've decided to run away
12:01and I wonder if I might take some of the silver to sell.
12:07Well, I said,
12:08that could be awkward for his lordship.
12:10I suppose I give you sixpence to spend in the village instead.
12:14Very well, says she,
12:16but you must be sure to charge me interest.
12:20And did you?
12:22She gave me a kiss in full payment.
12:26Then she had the better bargain.
12:29Hmm.
12:32I wouldn't say that.
12:37There you are, Mrs. Hughes.
12:38They said you were in here.
12:40Might I have a word?
12:41Of course.
12:43Shall we go to my room?
12:44There's no reason Mr. Carson shouldn't hear it.
12:46In fact, I think he probably should.
12:49You see,
12:50I've had a request from Sir Richard
12:52that you ought to know about.
12:59You've done this before.
13:04Vince, can I ask you something?
13:06If I've started to feel a tingling in my legs,
13:12what do you think that might mean?
13:13Have you told Dr. Clarkson?
13:15Yes.
13:15He says it's an illusion.
13:19Memory of a tingling or something.
13:21But I do know my back is broken.
13:23I understand that I won't recover.
13:24But I do keep feeling it, or I think I do.
13:29I should wait and see.
13:30If something is changing, it will make itself known.
13:33Now, will that be all?
13:34Yes, thank you.
13:38Bates.
13:41Please don't tell anyone.
13:43I couldn't bear it if
13:45Miss Swire or
13:46Mother or
13:49or anyone
13:49started to hope.
13:51I won't say a thing.
13:53Good night, sir.
13:56Good morning.
14:11I don't know why I'm doing this.
14:13I must be out of my mind.
14:14Because you know it's my last chance.
14:16Well, that's true.
14:17They won't be back, not after this trip.
14:18So what should I do?
14:20Come to the house.
14:21Let's stay outside in the game larder.
14:23I'll leave some food there
14:25and a blanket
14:26and then I'll try and find a moment alone
14:28with Mrs Bryant
14:29and tell her about little Charlie.
14:32And then, if she asks,
14:33only if she asks, mind you,
14:35I'll bring her out to see the child.
14:37What about him?
14:39If either of them are in the least interested,
14:41it'll be the mother.
14:43Do you think she'll help me?
14:44She might.
14:47I suppose you won't see him?
14:49Then you're no worse off than you are already.
14:51Look, I shouldn't be doing it.
14:53So if you're not keen,
14:54then for heaven's sake,
14:54let's forget all about it.
14:55No.
14:57I'll be there, I promise.
14:59Doesn't it feel odd to have the rooms back
15:01and only us to sit in them?
15:04I suppose we'll get used to it.
15:06I don't want to get used to it.
15:08What do you mean?
15:10I know what it is to work now,
15:13to have a full day,
15:14to be tired in a good way.
15:16I don't want to start dress fittings
15:18or paying calls
15:19or standing behind the guns.
15:20But how does one escape all that?
15:22I think I've found a way to escape.
15:24Nothing too drastic, I hope.
15:26It is drastic.
15:28There's no going back once I've done it,
15:29but that's what I want.
15:31No going back.
15:33I don't want to go back either.
15:36Then don't.
15:38You're far nicer than you were before the war, you know.
15:59Where did you get it all?
16:00I told you, this broke from Leeds.
16:03Where did he get it?
16:05Some's army surplus,
16:06some from America,
16:07an island, everywhere.
16:09He's got contacts all over,
16:10that's what I'm paying him for.
16:12How much have you paid him?
16:14A lot.
16:15Well, I'm not worried.
16:16I've taken nothing perishable.
16:18This lot will last for months.
16:21I'll be sold out long before any of it's gone off.
16:23Starting with Mrs Patmore.
16:25Carson, if you're abandoning me,
16:27I think I deserve to know the reason why.
16:29I do not believe that Sir Richard and I
16:31would work well together.
16:32But there must be more to it than that.
16:35You knew what Sir Richard was like.
16:37We were to educate him together, you and I.
16:40Wasn't that the plan?
16:41Sir Richard offered Anna a sum of money
16:44to report your activities to him.
16:46Whom you saw, what you said.
16:49He wanted her to spy on me.
16:50Naturally, he used a different word.
16:53Naturally.
16:55And she refused?
16:57She refused, and she reported the offer
16:59to Mrs Hughes and me.
17:03Well, I wish she'd come to me first.
17:07So you mean you'd be uncomfortable
17:10working for a spy master?
17:13How disappointing of you.
17:15And I always thought you were fond of me.
17:18Ah, there you are.
17:22I've had a quick walk before dinner.
17:24We ought to get changed first.
17:26Will that be all, my lady?
17:28Yes, Carson.
17:31I think that will be all.
17:35Carson has decided not to come with us to Haxby.
17:39Oh, I'm sorry.
17:40Is there anything I can say to change your mind?
17:43I'm afraid not, Sir.
17:48What a shame.
17:50Not really.
17:52Butlers will be too a penny now
17:53they're all back from the war.
18:02I gather Carson was looking for me.
18:05Um, shall I go and find him, my lord?
18:07It's all right.
18:08Tell him I'll be in the dressing room.
18:11Has he done the red wine yet?
18:13It's over here, my lord.
18:14Ah.
18:16I'm pleased.
18:17It's a new one on me.
18:19I had some at a dinner in London
18:21and ordered it.
18:24Carson thought we might try it tonight.
18:29Well, I'd better go up.
18:30You made me sad yesterday.
18:33Wondering what the war was for.
18:35Oh, don't listen to me.
18:37I'm a foolish man who's lost his way
18:39and don't quite know how to find it again.
18:51I'm terribly sorry.
18:55Please try to forgive me.
19:04Oh, Mr. Carson.
19:09His lordship said you were looking for him.
19:12And?
19:14And I was to say that you'd find him in the dressing room.
19:17What's the matter with you?
19:19Nothing.
19:25I wrestled with it, my lord.
19:27I didn't mind admitting.
19:28And I wanted to be there to help Lady Mary and...
19:32And protect her from Sir Richard.
19:34Well, I wouldn't quite have put it like that.
19:38But, yes, I suppose.
19:41Only...
19:41Only you felt you couldn't work for a man who would offer a bribe.
19:45That is correct, my lord.
19:47Are you quite sure you won't regret it?
19:49I know how fond you are of Lady Mary.
19:52But I couldn't work for a man that I don't respect.
19:55And I certainly couldn't have left Downton for him.
19:58I shall take that as a compliment.
20:00For myself and for my house.
20:03I still don't see why you didn't tell me first.
20:06I'm sorry, my lady, but I didn't want to utter your troubles.
20:09Well, you have done.
20:10Whether you wanted to or not.
20:14Nobody's down yet.
20:15They won't be long.
20:17Oh, look, they've cleared the tea, but forgotten to take that tray.
20:21Ring the bell.
20:21I'll do it.
20:22They'll be busy getting dinner ready.
20:24It's too heavy for you.
20:25No, it's not.
20:25Look out!
20:28Heavens, that was a near thing.
20:31My God.
20:36Mary, girls!
20:38Cora, come at once.
20:39Robert, wait!
20:40Everyone come at once!
20:41What is it?
20:42What's happened?
20:43Come and see this.
20:55Is it true?
20:56Is it true what Lavinia says?
21:03I can't believe it.
21:04It's so wonderful.
21:05It is, but don't tire yourself out.
21:07Sit down now and we'll send for Dr Clarkson.
21:10She's right.
21:11Edith, go with Branson.
21:12Get Clarkson, but fetch Mama and Cousin Isabel as well.
21:15I don't care what they're doing.
21:17Tell them to come now.
21:19I cannot begin to tell you what this means.
21:22Well, that's pretty good news for me, too.
21:24Well, that's pretty good news for me, too.
21:26There is only one possible explanation.
21:29It starts with my own mistake.
21:33Every indication told me that the spine was transected, which would have been incurable.
21:37But when Sir John Coates came to see Matthew, he agreed with you.
21:42Well, he didn't.
21:43Not entirely.
21:45He thought that it could conceivably be a case of spinal shock.
21:48That is, intense bruising, which was sufficiently severe to impede the leg mechanism.
21:55But which would heal?
21:56Well, why didn't you tell us?
21:59Because I didn't agree with him.
22:02And I didn't want to raise Captain Crawley's hopes to no purpose.
22:06I understand.
22:07And I don't blame you.
22:09You must take it slowly.
22:10Rome wasn't built in a day.
22:11I know.
22:12And I'm afraid you will carry a bruise on your spine for the rest of your life.
22:16But I will have a life.
22:18Yes.
22:20I think we can say that.
22:21You will have a normal life.
22:22And it won't be long in coming.
22:26My darling boy.
22:28My darling boy.
22:33Excuse me, my lord.
22:34But Mrs Hughes is wondering what she should do about dinner.
22:37You'll all stay for dinner, won't you?
22:39Well, I'm afraid I'm not dressed.
22:40Oh, never mind that.
22:41Who cares about that?
22:42What about you, Mama?
22:43Oh, certainly.
22:44All this unbridled joy has given me quite an appetite.
22:50There you are.
22:51I wondered what had happened to you.
22:52It's wonderful news, isn't it?
22:54Wonderful.
22:54Are you busy?
22:56I'm just going up to help in the dining room.
22:57Why?
22:58It'll keep.
22:59No, tell me.
23:01I've got time.
23:02It's just something his lordship said recently.
23:04I can't get out of my mind.
23:06How Vera must have bought the poison and taken it home with her.
23:11Yes, I suppose she must, and it's a terrible thing to think of.
23:16But she didn't.
23:17I did.
23:19What?
23:20Months ago, before I left, Vera said we needed rat poison, and I bought it.
23:24It was arsenic, and I've been thinking that's what she must have taken.
23:27Have you told the police?
23:28No.
23:29Tell them.
23:30If you don't, and they find out, it'll look bad.
23:32But wouldn't I be asking for trouble?
23:33You're asking for trouble if you stay silent?
23:36Anna, we're starting.
23:38Sorry, Mr Carson.
23:41Tell me, how are things progressing at Haxby?
23:45Quite well.
23:46I've put in a condition so the builders are fine for every day they go over.
23:50Does that make for a happy atmosphere?
23:52I want it done.
23:53They can be happy in their own time.
23:55Why the rush?
23:57I like everything I own to be finished and ready to sell.
23:59You're not thinking of selling Haxby, surely?
24:03Depends.
24:04We'll have to see if it suits us to be so close to Downton.
24:08I want to tell you all something.
24:11As you know, during this, well, I think I can say horrible time,
24:17Lavinia has proved to be the most marvellous person.
24:19Hear, hear.
24:20Indeed.
24:21I never thought we would marry, for all sorts of reasons,
24:24but she wouldn't accept that.
24:26And so now I'm very pleased to say that she's been proved right.
24:32Lavinia and I will get married.
24:34Oh, my dear fellow.
24:35Isn't it wonderful?
24:36Just as soon as I'm well enough to walk down the aisle,
24:38Dr Clarkson can help us with when.
24:40Not long now.
24:42And she feels we ought to marry here, at Downton,
24:46to bury forever the memories of what I hope has been the darkest period of my life.
24:51Of course.
24:52Are you sure?
24:54I know it should be at my home in London, but we've been through so much here.
24:57We'd be delighted.
24:59Bravo.
25:00Excellent news.
25:02Yes.
25:03Good evening, Lavinia.
25:03There isn't that excellent news.
25:06Just excellent.
25:23Very late.
25:24Don't they worry?
25:28They're all so excited they won't care where I am.
25:32I'm pleased.
25:34I like Mr. Matthew.
25:36He announced at dinner that he wants to get married at Downton.
25:40Somehow it made me feel more than ever that the war is really over.
25:43And it's time to move forward.
25:46Do you mean you've made your decision?
25:48Yes.
25:52My answer is that I'm ready to travel.
25:57And you are my ticket.
26:00To get away from this house.
26:02Away from this life.
26:03Me?
26:04No.
26:05Uncle Tom Cobbley.
26:09I'm sorry.
26:11But I've waited so long for those words.
26:14I can't believe I'm hearing them.
26:18You won't mind burning your bridges?
26:20Mind?
26:21Fetch me the matches.
26:24Yes, you can kiss me.
26:27But that is all until everything is settled.
26:30For now, God knows it's enough that I can kiss you.
26:40What a day.
26:42I can't stop smiling.
26:44No.
26:46But another time, please ask me before you agree to host a wedding.
26:49What?
26:50I'm fond of Matthew, of course.
26:52But you do realize this means Mary's marriage will be delayed.
26:55I can't help that.
26:56Mary's our first priority, Robert.
26:58And just because Matthew's been lame...
27:00Matthew's been lame?
27:03Can you hear the words coming out of your mouth?
27:05Can you hear how stupid and selfish they are?
27:07Because I can.
27:12Don't bother me with it now.
27:14I've enough fun trying to make a luncheon that looks worth eating.
27:17Well, that's what I'm saying.
27:19Everything's in short supply now.
27:20Short supply?
27:21No supply, more like.
27:24Oh, talk about making a silk purse out of a sowsier.
27:27I wish we had a sowsier.
27:29It'd be better than this brisket.
27:32That's just it.
27:33Thomas has come by some groceries and such and he's prepared to let them go for the right price.
27:38Oh, he's prepared to let them go, is he?
27:40And how did he come by them?
27:41That's what I'd like to know.
27:43Well, they're not stolen in case you're worried.
27:45Oh, I'm not worried.
27:46You're the one who should be worried.
27:50Tell you what.
27:52I'm making a wedding cake now for Mr Crawley.
27:55I'll finish it early and feed it with brandy.
27:57So if I give you a list of ingredients, can you get them?
28:00I can.
28:01And then we'll see.
28:02Now, will you leave me and let me get on with this travesty?
28:15Why are you here?
28:25Mr Bryant, Mrs Bryant, welcome.
28:27We're so pleased to be here.
28:29This is so kind of you, Lady Grantham.
28:32It is kind, but we ought to make it clear we can't stay long.
28:34I wasn't sure we had time to come at all.
28:37Luncheon's quite ready.
28:38We must eat and run, I'm afraid.
28:40We have to be at Maryport by six.
28:41We're all so terribly sorry about the reason you're here.
28:43If we could see Charles's room...
28:45Shall I take Mrs Bryant up?
28:48No, I'll do it.
28:49Oh, we'll all do it.
28:50My cousin, Mrs Crawley, who looked after Major Bryant,
28:52and my daughters who nursed him will join us for luncheon.
28:54How thoughtful.
28:56But we can't be long.
28:57I've told our chauffeur is to stay in the car.
28:59Will I take him something to eat?
29:00Leave him be.
29:01He's quite happy.
29:02Now, please, come and see where Major Bryant live.
29:04Come on, he'll be with us.
29:11I'm afraid it's not going to work.
29:12Why?
29:13They're in their dining room now,
29:15and they're getting straight into the car when they've finished.
29:17I tried to speak to her on her own,
29:18but there was never the right moment.
29:21Your granddaddy's a bit of a bully.
29:23Well, I must see them.
29:24I've come all this way.
29:25Of course it's a disappointment.
29:27You said to yourself there wouldn't be another chance.
29:29We can't know that.
29:31Maybe you should write to them after all.
29:34You've nothing to lose.
29:36No.
29:37No, they have to see him.
29:38They must see Charlie.
29:40Well, maybe they will.
29:42Sometime in the future.
29:43I hope so.
29:46You'd better go now.
29:53This wedding cake, can I make it?
29:56You wouldn't know how to start.
29:58But you can tell me.
29:59And if I make it early, then you can make another if it's no good.
30:03Hmm.
30:04If I say yes, will you do as you're told?
30:07Daisy, there's a wretched chauffeur at the front who's not allowed to get out of the car.
30:11So can you make him a sandwich and take him up a bottle of pot?
30:14With some ham and...
30:16Oh, my God.
30:19Who was that?
30:20Wasn't that Ethel?
30:21Did you see what she was carrying?
30:23No.
30:25Well, then just let's leave it to that.
30:28I'm afraid Downton will be a place of pilgrimage for a while.
30:31We're glad to be.
30:33If we can help to bring some peace of mind.
30:35There's no point in wallowing in it.
30:36What good does it do?
30:38Leave me alone.
30:41I tried to stop him.
30:42What on earth?
30:43Ethel, I know where this is.
30:44Mrs Hughes, I don't think it's quite the right...
30:46I'm stopping.
30:48Until I've had my say.
30:50This is Charlie.
30:52Your grandson.
30:54He's almost a year old.
31:00What proof have you?
31:03What?
31:03I say, what proof have you?
31:05If my son was the father of this boy, where's your proof?
31:07Do you have any letters, any signed statement?
31:09Why would there be any letters?
31:11We're in the same house.
31:11I think she's telling the truth.
31:13I'm interested in Fink.
31:15I want proof that my son acknowledged paternity of this boy.
31:18What you say is true, then he would have known of the boy's existence for months before he...
31:24Before he was killed.
31:28Yes.
31:29He knew.
31:31So, what did you do about it?
31:35Well, then...
31:37I did nothing.
31:39That's the proof I was looking for.
31:42If Charles was the father, he would never have shirked his responsibilities.
31:44Never.
31:45Well, he did.
31:46I won't listen to any more slander.
31:47Now, will you please go and take that boy with you, whoever he is?
31:50You're upsetting Mrs Bryant.
31:51Well, I would like...
31:52I say you are upsetting Mrs Bryant!
31:55Lord Granthamay, you've got to stand by while this woman holds us to ransom.
31:59This isn't doing much good.
32:00Ethel, you'd better come with me.
32:02Come on.
32:11She thinks we're a soft touch.
32:13They hear of a dead officer with some money behind them and suddenly there's a baby on every corner.
32:17But if she's telling the truth...
32:19If Charles had fathered that boy, he would have told us.
32:22Now, I'd say she's done her homework and discovered he was an only child.
32:25She thinks we'd be ripe for the plucking.
32:33You knew her.
32:34Was she one of the nurses when he was here?
32:37She was a housemaid.
32:41Were you aware?
32:42No one told me Major Bryant was your only son.
32:46That's right.
32:47Just Charles.
32:49Matthew was my only son.
32:51And he nearly died.
32:53I think I know a little of what you're going through.
32:55He seems such a nice...
32:56Well, I think that's cast rather a shadow over the proceedings, so I don't see any point in prolonging it.
33:03Daphne, come on, we're leaving.
33:06He's afraid of his own grief.
33:08That's why he behaves as he does.
33:10He's terrified of his own grief.
33:23That's what he's like.
33:24I don't want his help.
33:25I don't want it.
33:26I doubt you'd love the option.
33:28You're a dark horse.
33:30How did you keep it a secret all this time?
33:33Maybe when he's thought about it, he'll feel differently.
33:36You never know.
33:38Anna, will you kindly go upstairs and help in the dining room?
33:41Ethel, please take the child and leave.
33:44How did you get here?
33:46I caught the bus and walked up from the village.
33:48Then can you reverse the process as quickly as possible?
33:50She's very badly shaken, Mr Carson.
33:52She's lost everything.
33:54Are you all right for the fare?
33:56Yes, thank you.
34:02He's their only grandchild.
34:04There can never be another.
34:05Even if Ethel is telling the truth?
34:07I believe she is.
34:09Even so, there's no legal reality to it.
34:12The child is her bastard and has no claim on them.
34:14Steady on, sir.
34:15The ladies have had enough shocks for one day.
34:17I just don't see the point in pretending something can be done when it can't.
34:21What about you, mother?
34:22Can't one of your refugee charities help?
34:24But she's not a refugee, and we have more claims on our funding than we can possibly meet.
34:28The truth is, Ethel's made her choice, and now she's stuck with it.
34:32That seems a little hard.
34:34Does it?
34:35Aren't all of us stuck with the choices we make?
34:44Candied peel.
34:45Well, well, I never thought you'd find that.
34:48I hope you're pleased, Mrs Patmore.
34:50Of course she is, aren't you?
34:51There's stuff here we haven't seen since before the war.
34:53I can't wait to get started.
34:55I won't ask where you got it from, because I do want to know.
34:58I keep saying there's nothing wrong, so what I'd like to know is...
35:01When will they get paid?
35:03When I'm satisfied.
35:05And when will that be, oh mighty one?
35:07When Daisy's baked the cake, and I'm pleased with it.
35:11He understands.
35:12He knows this is just the sprat to catch the mackerel.
35:19I really ought to walk to the library.
35:21There's no need to rush it, sir.
35:23You're getting better every day.
35:30Look, I'm glad you.
35:32May I come in?
35:33Please.
35:33No, no, no.
35:34No, see where you are.
35:38No doubt you will regard this as rather unorthodox,
35:40my pushing into a man's bedroom uninvited.
35:43Well, um...
35:44It's just I don't want us to be disturbed.
35:49I'm sure you know how pleased I am that you will recover after all.
35:55Just as I'm delighted that you can once more look forward to a happy married life.
36:02I'm very lucky.
36:04Now, this may come as a surprise, but I feel I must say it all the same.
36:10Please do.
36:11Mary is still in love with you.
36:13What?
36:15I was watching her the other night when you spoke of your wedding.
36:20She looked like Juliet on Awakening in the Tomb.
36:25Mary and I have always...
36:26Of course, I suspected long ago that the flame hadn't quite gone out.
36:31But then there was no chance of your recovery.
36:34And it seemed best to let her try for happiness where she could.
36:37I quite agree.
36:38And Sir Richard is...
36:40No, no, let's not muddy the pool by discussing Sir Richard.
36:44The point is, you loved her once.
36:48You sure you can't love her again?
36:53Cousin Violet, I...
36:55Please don't think I mind your...
36:58Speaking to me in this way, I quite admire it.
37:00But consider this.
37:02Lavinia came back against my orders, determined to look after me for the rest of my life.
37:07Which meant that she would wash me and feed me and do things that only the most dedicated nurse would
37:14undertake.
37:15And all with no hope of children or any improvement.
37:18Yes, yes, it's all very admirable.
37:21And I give her full credit.
37:23Giving her that credit, do you think it would be right for me to throw her over because I can
37:28walk?
37:30To dismiss her because I no longer have need of her services.
37:33It's spoken like a man of honour.
37:36And we will not fall out over this.
37:41But you don't agree?
37:42I would just say one thing.
37:46Marriage is a long business.
37:50There's no getting out of it for our kind of people.
37:53You may live 40, 50 years with one of these two women.
38:00Just make sure you have selected the right one.
38:07Will it be April or May?
38:09I should still have care of May.
38:11Marion May, rue the day.
38:13I think it's April.
38:15Matthew should be walking normally by then.
38:17Spring weddings are the prettiest of all.
38:19All this talk of weddings is making me impatient.
38:23I don't think we can go into competition with Matthew and Lavinia, do you?
38:27After then.
38:28In the summer.
38:29Let's settle it before I return to London.
38:33You must be looking forward to travelling again.
38:35I know I am.
38:37Very well.
38:38The end of July.
38:40Then we can be out of England for August.
38:43You don't sound very excited.
38:45To quote you, that's not who we are.
38:50And there's something I've been meaning to ask you.
38:52Here's the hero.
38:53Here we are.
38:55Why did you try to bribe Anna?
39:00She told you, did she?
39:01She didn't.
39:02Not me.
39:04But why did you do it?
39:07Next time, if you want to know anything, just ask me.
39:11Well done.
39:13Very well.
39:16All right then, I will.
39:17Once and for all, are you still in love with Matthew Crawley?
39:20Of course not.
39:22Would I ever admit to loving a man who preferred someone else over me?
39:32Where's Sybil?
39:33She's not feeling well.
39:35She told Anna she wouldn't be down for dinner.
39:41What is it?
39:42I heard from my lawyer today.
39:45Apparently, Vera wrote to a friend just before my last visit.
39:47Why are they telling you now?
39:48It was only delivered a few days ago.
39:51Do you know what the letter says?
39:53They sent me a copy.
40:01John has written and is coming here tonight.
40:03She's always sounds as angry as I've ever heard him.
40:06And you know how angry that is.
40:08I never thought I'd say this, but I'm afraid for my life.
40:13But what did you write to her?
40:19I said I was coming that evening and I meant to have it out with her.
40:22I may have said she was being unreasonable, but still she was.
40:26Will it change anything?
40:28Think about it.
40:29Before Vera's death, she had taken all my money and she had wrecked the divorce.
40:34Now as her widower, I inherit everything and we can marry whenever we like.
40:40Anna, they're going in.
40:47You look as if you've got the cares of the world on your shoulders.
40:51Not the whole world, Mrs Hughes, but quite enough of it.
41:02Sybil?
41:04Sybil?
41:06Sybil, I just want to say goodnight.
41:16Mrs Hughes, can I borrow the duplicate keys for upstairs?
41:20Why?
41:21Lady Mary says one of the bathroom keys isn't working.
41:24She thinks it must have got swapped.
41:26Oh.
41:27I'll come.
41:29No, there's no need.
41:30I'll bring them back in a jiffy.
41:32You've done enough for one day.
41:56Oh my God, she's eloped.
41:59She's on her way to Gretna Green.
42:08They must stop at some point.
42:10It won't be open before the morning.
42:11They won't expect us to be in pursuit until tomorrow, so they'll stay somewhere on the road.
42:15We hope.
42:16Everyone keep an eye out for the motor.
42:31Daisy, what in God's name are you doing down here at this hour?
42:34I just wanted to check if we're all right.
42:37That it ain't, you know, caved in or anything.
42:38Caved in?
42:40It's a cake, not a souffle.
42:42I know, but I've never made a wedding cake before.
42:44Is that the one for tasting?
42:46Yes, Mrs Patmore.
42:48We'll bring it out.
42:48We'll give it a try.
43:02What in God's name do you call this?
43:04I don't know.
43:05I did everything that you said, I promise.
43:07But didn't you taste the mixture?
43:10Well, then I'm afraid it's time to look at Thomas' ingredients.
43:18Well, it's two-thirds plaster dust.
43:21Where's the peel?
43:29Well, at least we're old when Adam would a boy.
43:34So, Thomas was happy to let it go, was he?
43:37Well, it won't go anywhere near me in future.
43:40Chuck the whole valley lot out and we'll have to think again.
43:49Isn't that the car?
44:02How did you find us?
44:04How did you know?
44:05Never mind that.
44:06At least nothing's happened, thank God.
44:07What do you mean nothing's happened?
44:09I've decided to marry Tom and your coming after me won't change that.
44:12This isn't the way.
44:13She's right.
44:14Of course Mama and Papa will hate it.
44:16And why should they?
44:17Oh, pipe down.
44:19Sybil, can't you let them get used to the idea?
44:21Take your stand and refuse to budge, but allow them time.
44:24That way you won't have to break up the family.
44:26They would never give permission.
44:28You don't need permission.
44:29You're 21.
44:31But you do need their forgiveness if you're not to start your new life under a black shadow.
44:35Don't listen.
44:36She's pretending to be reasonable to get you home again.
44:38Even if I am, even if I think this is mad,
44:40I know it would be better to do it in broad daylight than to sneak off like a thief in
44:44the night.
44:53Go back with them then.
44:55If you think they can make you happier than I will.
44:59Am I so weak you believe I can be talked out of giving my heart in five minutes flat?
45:06But Mary's right.
45:07I don't like to see it and our parents don't deserve it.
45:12So I'll go back with them.
45:16Believe it or not, I will stay true to you.
45:37I'll return the car in the morning.
45:40You're confident you can bring her round, aren't you?
45:43Fairly.
45:44I'll certainly try.
45:47Do you want some money for the room?
45:50No, thank you, my lady.
45:52I can pay my own way.
46:02Where are the girls?
46:04I suppose Sybil's still ill and the others just haven't appeared.
46:08I hope they're not coming down with anything.
46:10The stories of his Spanish flu are too awful.
46:13No, it's nothing of the sort.
46:14Why are you up so early?
46:16I'm meeting Isabel.
46:17She wants me to help with her refugees.
46:19I thought the whole point of Mamar arranging that was to keep her out of your hair.
46:22I know.
46:23When other soldiers are gone, I do have a lot of time on my hands and maybe it can be
46:26useful.
46:28Why is it different from before the war?
46:31I don't know exactly.
46:32It just is.
46:33I knew the war's changed me.
46:36I guess it's changed everybody.
46:38Not me.
46:40Don't be too sure.
46:44If I'm not back before luncheon, don't wait.
46:47I'll take this down to keep it hot, my lord.
47:03I wanted to catch you alone.
47:07Oh?
47:11Yes.
47:13You see, I think you might be happier if I tendered my resignation.
47:16What?
47:17I'd hate you to be uncomfortable in your own house and...
47:19I won't hear of it.
47:21But I know...
47:22You will not be deprived of your livelihood because I behaved in an ungentlemanly manner.
47:25The fault was entirely mine.
47:27You will not pay the price.
47:31You will not pay attention to me.
47:46If you...
47:47What?
47:59What?
48:00What?
48:14No, no!
48:17No, no, no!
48:24No! No!
48:26No!
48:27No!
48:37Is this yours? Mostly found it in your dressing room.
48:41It's not one of your old toys, is it? Because I don't recognise it.
48:45No, it was given to me as a charm, I think, to take to the front.
48:49Well, you're home and safe now.
48:51Shall I put it in the barrel for the village children?
48:53No.
48:56You never know, it might be bad luck not to keep it.
49:00Luncheon will be ready soon.
49:07It's all rubbish. It's all bloody rubbish.
49:11Can't you ask for your money back?
49:12Oh, yes. Of course I can ask, and a fat lot of good, that'll do.
49:15You must challenge him.
49:16Ow! I only ever met him in a pub, I wouldn't know where to find him!
49:19What?
49:20It's going on as a fat woman!
49:24I've been tricked!
49:26I've been had!
49:29I've been taken for the fool I am!
49:43How much did he get from you?
49:47Every penny I had.
49:51And then some.
49:55What are you going to do now?
49:59I don't know.
50:02I don't bloody know.
50:03You're just kidding.
50:04I got it!
50:04I'll see you next time.
50:04Thanks a lot of joy.
50:05So you're in love?
50:05Cheers!
50:05You're welcome.
50:06For the earth!
50:06Cheers!
50:06Cheers!
50:06You
