00:00:04I think it's held up very well, all things considered, especially after all that rain.
00:00:10How's the house team coming on?
00:00:12Because we're taking this very seriously in the village.
00:00:16Nobody takes it more seriously than his lordship, Dad.
00:00:19Whatever he likes to pretend.
00:00:21Mr. Bates has had his rest now and wants to get back to work.
00:00:25It's time to draw a line under this whole unfortunate episode.
00:00:31So I go out the window.
00:00:33I cannot hide that I find your situation revolting, but whether or not you believe me, I am not entirely
00:00:42unsympathetic.
00:00:44You have been twisted by nature into something foul, and even I can see that you did not ask for
00:00:50it.
00:00:51I think it better that you resign, quietly, citing the excuse that Mr. Bates has returned.
00:00:58I will write a perfectly acceptable reference, and you'll find that there's nothing about it that's hard to explain.
00:01:07I see.
00:01:10What's about tonight?
00:01:11It's nearly time to change, so you should dress him tonight and let Mr. Bates take over tomorrow.
00:01:24I'm not foul, Mr. Carson.
00:01:28I'm not the same as you, but I'm not foul.
00:01:32Yes.
00:01:32Well, you've spoken enough on this subject.
00:01:37Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll ring the gong.
00:01:45How long, Miss O'Brien? Time to stop ease-dropping and do some work.
00:01:49I don't know what you...
00:01:54How are you getting on with the cricket team?
00:01:56We should be all right.
00:01:58You've still got Thomas, thank God.
00:01:59Won't he be leaving soon?
00:02:01Not before the match, if I've got anything to do with it.
00:02:04One of the gardeners told Anna their team is in terrific shape.
00:02:07It's so unfair the outside staff to play for the village.
00:02:10Why don't you support the house and the village?
00:02:12You own both.
00:02:14But I'm captain of the house team.
00:02:16If I were you, I'd be captain of the village.
00:02:18They always win.
00:02:20Not always.
00:02:21Usually, but not always.
00:02:23Mary, you look as if you're in a trance.
00:02:25What were you doing in London?
00:02:27It's worn you out.
00:02:28Maybe.
00:02:29I'll try and rest tomorrow.
00:02:34Crikey.
00:02:35I'd better go.
00:02:36Before you do, a little bird tells me Mr Carson has made up his mind to deal with Thomas after
00:02:40all.
00:02:41It's about time.
00:02:42Only meant, if you want to register your anger at how Thomas treated you, now is the hour.
00:02:46I'm not sure.
00:02:47I'm still disgusted by the whole thing, obviously.
00:02:50Obviously.
00:02:52But if you don't speak out, people might think you weren't disgusted at all.
00:02:57Oh, you must excuse me.
00:02:59I ought to be upstairs.
00:03:04Anna, what are you doing out here?
00:03:06Her ladyship's with Lady Mary, sir.
00:03:08I'm afraid she's going to be late.
00:03:10Let me see what's happening.
00:03:12You couldn't be in better hands than Dr Ryder's, truly.
00:03:15I hope to God you're right.
00:03:18Anna's worried you're getting late.
00:03:20Heavens, you made me jump.
00:03:23I must go.
00:03:24O'Brien will scold me.
00:03:28Anna?
00:03:29What were you talking about?
00:03:30Nothing.
00:03:32Women's stuff.
00:03:34Your ears must have been burning earlier.
00:03:37Papa was discussing the cricket match.
00:03:39The village thrashed us last year.
00:03:41I suppose I'll have to play.
00:03:43You suppose right.
00:03:45It's because of last year he's absolutely determined to win this time.
00:03:50Bates must count himself lucky to be out of it.
00:03:53I think he'd like to walk normally, sir.
00:03:55Even if playing cricket was the price he had to pay.
00:03:58Of course he would.
00:03:59I'm so sorry.
00:04:00That's stupid of me.
00:04:01It's quite all right, sir.
00:04:02I was only joking.
00:04:05Oh, there's absolutely no question that some people have a feel for it.
00:04:09I think cricket's like anything else.
00:04:11When you learn it as a child, there's an understanding that is hard to come by later.
00:04:17And with a father like mine, I was brought up with cricket in my blood.
00:04:22Why have you never played in the match before?
00:04:24How could I?
00:04:25I didn't work at the house until this year.
00:04:27I could hardly play for the village team.
00:04:30We'll have to start a fan club, won't we?
00:04:32That's kind, Ivy, but I just want to do my best for the house.
00:04:35That's all the reward I seek.
00:04:37Oh, your modesty is an example to us all, Mr Moseley.
00:04:49What is that you're so glued to?
00:04:51This week's column.
00:04:52I've got to send it off tomorrow.
00:04:53What's it about?
00:04:54The poor soldiers.
00:04:56How many are reduced to begging on the streets.
00:04:58And some officers are working as dance partners in nightclubs.
00:05:01After the trenches, even the embassy club must seem an improvement.
00:05:04You shouldn't make fun of them.
00:05:06She's forgetting that you were in the trenches and she wasn't.
00:05:10She must be 18 by now.
00:05:13Little Rose, 18?
00:05:14How scary.
00:05:16Hello.
00:05:16It's quite a responsibility.
00:05:18Well, I couldn't say no.
00:05:19Her mother is my niece and my godchild, and she asked it as a special favour.
00:05:25Apparently, she hates London.
00:05:28And they can't get to Scotland until July, poor Shrimpy.
00:05:32His work keeps him nailed to his desk.
00:05:35She hates London, so she's coming to a great aunt in Yorkshire to have a good time.
00:05:41How original.
00:05:42Well, don't be silly.
00:05:43Of course you will.
00:05:45No, I won't.
00:05:45I'd like to help, but I've never played a game of cricket in my life.
00:05:49Oddly, the game was never a part of my childhood.
00:05:51Didn't you play last year?
00:05:53No, nor the year before that.
00:05:55The fact is, I've never played cricket.
00:05:56But couldn't you try?
00:05:57Robert, stop being such a bully.
00:06:00Let's just have a nice dinner.
00:06:10I'm afraid I've heard Mr. Carson's going to let him off.
00:06:12What can I do about it?
00:06:14So you won't tolerate it?
00:06:16Unless he's going to give him a bad reference, you're going to tell the police.
00:06:19I couldn't do that.
00:06:21Could I?
00:06:22Why not?
00:06:23I'm what you have to, if you don't want Thorpe to think there's something funny about you.
00:06:28It's a good job, that's both sweet and cold.
00:06:38Are you sure about Rose?
00:06:40Wouldn't it be better if she stayed here?
00:06:42No, no, no.
00:06:42I'm quite looking forward to it.
00:06:44I couldn't manage an 18-year-old.
00:06:46Not these days.
00:06:47I wouldn't know what she was talking about.
00:06:49My husband was a great traveller,
00:06:51so I've spent many happy evenings without understanding a word.
00:06:54The thing is, to keep smiling.
00:06:57And never look as if you disapprove.
00:07:03So, Bates, I'll see you on duty tomorrow.
00:07:07Good night, Barrow.
00:07:08You do know I wish you every good fortune.
00:07:10I believe so.
00:07:11Thank you, my lord.
00:07:22To the victor of the swiles.
00:07:25What will you do?
00:07:26I'll watch it to you.
00:07:27You're right.
00:07:29It's nothing to me.
00:07:36If we can buy out Simpson and Tucker,
00:07:39quite a chunk of the estate will be back in hand.
00:07:41We'll be operating a real business.
00:07:42That's why I think the cricket may have come at rather a good time.
00:07:45Why?
00:07:47Because you think if you get a few runs and catch someone out,
00:07:50Papa will accept all this gladly.
00:07:52I think the cricket will show him.
00:07:54It doesn't mean we can't keep up the old traditions as well.
00:07:56And I'm to help persuade him.
00:07:59Of course.
00:08:00You're on my team now.
00:08:12You can kiss me, but that's it.
00:08:15Why?
00:08:15Why haven't you missed me?
00:08:17Desperately.
00:08:19But London seems to have tired me out.
00:08:35Come.
00:09:05Mr. Carson,
00:09:07he did.
00:09:07Certainly not.
00:09:09Because I've been thinking.
00:09:11I ought to report him to the police.
00:09:13What?
00:09:14It was my duty.
00:09:15I know today thinking he's much more liberal.
00:09:17Just a minute.
00:09:18I've never been called a liberal in my life,
00:09:20and I don't intend to start now.
00:09:23But I do not believe in scandal.
00:09:27Mr. Barrow will go,
00:09:28and when he does,
00:09:29I would like him to go quietly.
00:09:31For the sake of the house,
00:09:32the family,
00:09:33and for that matter,
00:09:35you.
00:09:37I'm sorry, Mr. Carson,
00:09:39but I can't stay quiet if my conscience prompts me differently.
00:09:42I won't turn a blind eye to sin.
00:09:48I won't turn a blind eye to sin.
00:10:26I've asked Ethel to bring us some coffee.
00:10:29Oh, I'm not supposed to drink coffee.
00:10:31My mother doesn't approve.
00:10:33Would you like something else?
00:10:34Absolutely not.
00:10:35After all, she won't find out unless you tell her.
00:10:38How is Lady Flenshire?
00:10:40I'm incredibly busy.
00:10:41Daddy works harder than a slave,
00:10:43and so she has to manage everything else by herself.
00:10:45I doubt he works harder than a slave.
00:10:48Cousin Isabel is very literal.
00:10:51I have something for you.
00:10:59Shall I pull, ma'am?
00:11:01No, thank you. I'll do it.
00:11:07These are the first answers to the advertisement.
00:11:13Cousin Violet is trying to find a new job for my cook.
00:11:17That sounds rather inconvenient.
00:11:20Cousin Violet has never let a matter of convenience stand in the way of a principal.
00:11:24As the kettle's into the pot.
00:11:31I'm to leave with no reference.
00:11:34After working here for ten years.
00:11:36I'm afraid my hands are tied.
00:11:39I'll never get a job now, Mr Carson.
00:11:42Does his lordship know about this?
00:11:45No.
00:11:46Then I'm going to tell him.
00:11:47And how would you do that without telling him the rest of it?
00:11:55This wasn't Jimmy's idea.
00:11:57Somebody's put him up to it.
00:12:00He wouldn't be so unkind, not left to himself.
00:12:03I'm almost touched that you will defend him under such circumstances,
00:12:06but there it is.
00:12:11Well, can't I stay here for a day or two while I come up with some sort of plan?
00:12:19Yes, I think I can allow that.
00:12:21But that's the best I can do.
00:12:27Thank you, Mr Carson.
00:12:34At least it doesn't smell damp.
00:12:38I think it's nice.
00:12:40Or it will be when it's got a lick of paint.
00:12:43I can do that.
00:12:45I can.
00:12:46You're not climbing any ladders.
00:12:49But yes, together I think we can make it really comfy.
00:12:54What do they call extreme optimism?
00:12:56They call it making the best of things.
00:12:58And that is what we'll do.
00:13:02You being in this room is enough to make it nice.
00:13:08Come here.
00:13:18We should think of some things to do while you're here.
00:13:21Edith, you should take Rose over to Whitby on Wednesday when they have their market.
00:13:24She'd enjoy that.
00:13:25I can't.
00:13:26I'm going to...
00:13:29Oh, but you've only just got here.
00:13:31I thought you hated London.
00:13:33They told you that.
00:13:34Susan.
00:13:36Darling mummy.
00:13:38Well, should I correct her?
00:13:40Oh, no.
00:13:41She's right, really.
00:13:42But I'm planning a surprise for her.
00:13:44And I need to go to London to arrange it.
00:13:47You won't give me away, will you?
00:13:49Won't you stay with your parents?
00:13:50Oh, well, I can't.
00:13:51That would spoil everything.
00:13:53You can stay with me.
00:13:55Aunt Rosamund won't mind.
00:13:56And there's plenty of room.
00:13:58I don't even know where you're going.
00:13:59To see my editor, to discuss my article.
00:14:06I think I might come up with you to London.
00:14:08I'll ring the office in the morning.
00:14:10I can stay at my club.
00:14:11Don't do that.
00:14:12Aunt Rosamund would love to have you.
00:14:14And I suspect I'll need help controlling Rose.
00:14:18Why do you say that?
00:14:20I'm not sure.
00:14:22Instinct.
00:14:23But when your mother finds out, will she mine?
00:14:25No, she'll be delighted.
00:14:27And so grateful to all of you for helping with my secret.
00:14:30Besides, with Edith as my chaperone, what harm can I come to?
00:14:34I suppose we need you to bring them round.
00:14:36But how can I help?
00:14:38If our plan works, we'll be farming a third of the estate directly.
00:14:41And you can manage that?
00:14:43We think so.
00:14:44But we need you to think so too.
00:14:45Because Lord Grantham definitely won't.
00:14:47Are you drawing up the battle lines?
00:14:49Poor Robert.
00:14:51The post-war world is not being kind to him.
00:14:55How are you getting on with the agent's house?
00:14:57I hope Jarvis didn't leave it a wreck.
00:14:59No, not at all.
00:15:00But the furniture was his.
00:15:01So we'll have to begin in a state of Trappist simplicity.
00:15:04I'm sure there's some stuff in the attics here.
00:15:07We'll have a look.
00:15:08What about Sibby?
00:15:09I want to be lonely for just you and Nanny, nobody else for company.
00:15:13I think it's right for both of us.
00:15:19Mr. Barrow?
00:15:23What in heaven's name are you doing out here?
00:15:31I know you're leaving, but things can't be as black as all that.
00:15:36You're trained now.
00:15:37You can apply for a position as a butler.
00:15:40You don't know everything then.
00:15:42Then will you tell me everything?
00:15:45Look, I'm afraid if I do miss you that it will shock and disgust you.
00:15:51Shock and disgust?
00:15:52My, my.
00:15:54I think I have to heal it now.
00:15:56Come on.
00:16:02Lady Grantham, the dowager that is, has been concerned that your history here has left you lonely.
00:16:10It's not just that.
00:16:13She believes that you've made this house a local topic of unwelcome conversation.
00:16:20So she's placed an advertisement for you, and she's got some replies.
00:16:27The point is, you would go to your new position with references from me and from Mrs. Hughes,
00:16:33and you would not have to refer to your earlier life.
00:16:36In effect, you'd be washed clean.
00:16:42Yes?
00:16:43Is the new maid working out?
00:16:45No, not really.
00:16:46I don't think she'll stay.
00:16:48I miss Anna.
00:16:50What do you call her now she's your maid?
00:16:52Anna, I'm afraid.
00:16:54I can't very well call her Bates.
00:16:57No.
00:16:59What's this about?
00:17:01Well, you know Matthew wants to come with you to London.
00:17:05Why shouldn't he?
00:17:07I just need to check which train you're planning to come back on.
00:17:10The three o'clock on Thursday.
00:17:12Why?
00:17:13Can you promise not to let him catch an earlier one?
00:17:16Of course not.
00:17:18What reason would I give?
00:17:19You can think of something.
00:17:21Please.
00:17:23Oh, right.
00:17:24But why is everything always so complicated?
00:17:31We'll talk about it when Matthew gets back from London.
00:17:33Can't I even have a clue?
00:17:35He should tell you.
00:17:36It's his idea.
00:17:37God, it sounds ominous.
00:17:38What does?
00:17:39Matthew has some ghastly scheme for the estate,
00:17:41and Tom's too frightened to say what it is.
00:17:43I need a drink.
00:17:48You cannot allow him to blackmail you like this.
00:17:51And before you ask,
00:17:53Thomas has told me the whole story.
00:17:55I'm only sorry you had to listen to such horrors.
00:17:59Why?
00:18:00Do you think Thomas is the first man of that sort
00:18:02that I've ever come across?
00:18:04Oh, I'd hope so.
00:18:05Well, he isn't.
00:18:06And I'll tell you something else.
00:18:08I think James may have led him on.
00:18:10What?
00:18:11Oh, I cannot listen to such allegations.
00:18:14Calm down.
00:18:15I don't mean deliberately,
00:18:17but he's a vain and silly flirt.
00:18:20He may have given Thomas the wrong impression
00:18:22without meaning to.
00:18:23I can hardly believe we're having this conversation.
00:18:26Maybe not,
00:18:27but I won't sit by
00:18:28and let that young whippersnapper
00:18:30ruin a man for the rest of his life.
00:18:32Not a man who was wounded
00:18:34in the service of king and country.
00:18:35We may have no choice.
00:18:38These practices,
00:18:39with which you're apparently so familiar,
00:18:41are against the law.
00:18:43I know that.
00:18:44Very well, then.
00:18:45If we stand up to James
00:18:47and he goes to the police,
00:18:48it will only put Thomas in prison,
00:18:50which he will not thank you for.
00:19:14Respect in the love nest.
00:19:15It's fetching some coal.
00:19:27I envy you.
00:19:29Whatever you say.
00:19:31No.
00:19:31I mean it.
00:19:34I pick up all and everyone's so pleased for you.
00:19:38Can't imagine what that's like.
00:19:40Perhaps you should try being nicer.
00:19:44To be nice, that got me into trouble.
00:19:47What do you mean?
00:19:50Never mind.
00:19:53I'll be gone soon.
00:19:55Now you're here.
00:19:59You'll be glad of that.
00:20:00Yes, I will be.
00:20:13I assume I can count on you, Mr. Molesley.
00:20:16Oh, I'll say.
00:20:18There's not much I don't know about cricket.
00:20:20You make me quite nervous.
00:20:22So, with you, me, James, Alfred,
00:20:25both you hall boys,
00:20:26that makes six from down here.
00:20:28I can't play it, Mr. Carson,
00:20:30but I can keep score.
00:20:31Good.
00:20:32Very good.
00:20:33So, with his lordship,
00:20:34Mr. Crawley and Mr. Branson,
00:20:36we're already ten.
00:20:38What about you, Mr. Barrow?
00:20:40I think I'll be gone by then.
00:20:42Yes, you will.
00:20:49Where's Mary?
00:20:50I was looking for her,
00:20:51but Anna said she'd gone out.
00:20:52She's away for the night.
00:20:54She'll be back tomorrow.
00:20:55Oh?
00:20:57Cora, is everything
00:20:58as it should be between them?
00:21:00Between Mary and Matthew?
00:21:02Oh.
00:21:04Yes, I think so.
00:21:04Why do you ask?
00:21:06Oh.
00:21:07I find I'm rather impatient
00:21:08to get the succession settled.
00:21:10Robert, it's still early days.
00:21:13A luncheon is served, my lady.
00:21:15Is it just us?
00:21:16Yes.
00:21:17Tom's on the other side of the estate,
00:21:18so he said he'd eat in a pub.
00:21:19He's hiding from me.
00:21:21Until Matthew's told me the worst.
00:21:23Probably.
00:21:25May I take the opportunity
00:21:27to bring your lordship up to date
00:21:28with the team?
00:21:29Are we in good shape?
00:21:30I reckon that with three family players
00:21:32and seven from downstairs,
00:21:34we're only one short.
00:21:35Two short.
00:21:36Branson won't play.
00:21:37Mr. Branson is busy at the moment.
00:21:40Is he, my lady?
00:21:42Might I point out that we're all busy,
00:21:44but we still find time
00:21:45to support the honour of the house?
00:21:47Yes.
00:21:48But that is not the right road
00:21:49to travel, Carson,
00:21:50if we want to remain
00:21:51in her ladyship's good graces.
00:21:59Now, I know you're here
00:22:01because you all have
00:22:01lots of things to do,
00:22:02so just run about and do them.
00:22:04I'll go up and change.
00:22:05But I thought we'd all
00:22:06have dinner together,
00:22:07and then we can have
00:22:07a proper catch-up.
00:22:08If that's what you'd like,
00:22:09but please don't let me be a nuisance.
00:22:10But we could always just,
00:22:11I insist,
00:22:12a good family gossip
00:22:14will be my payment in kind.
00:22:16Then of course we'd be delighted.
00:22:17Good.
00:22:18We dine at half past eight.
00:22:35Hello, Operator.
00:22:38Knightsbridge 4056.
00:22:45I've been through those replies
00:22:46to a ladyship's advertisement,
00:22:49and I don't think
00:22:50there's one where
00:22:50I should be happier than here.
00:22:52That's very flattering.
00:22:54There was a nice letter
00:22:55from a Mrs. Watson,
00:22:57but it was near Cheadle.
00:22:59Cheadle's very close
00:23:00to where Mr. and Mrs. Bryant live.
00:23:02Oh, I see.
00:23:03And you feel that would
00:23:04defeat the purpose
00:23:06if the goal is to
00:23:07leave your past behind you?
00:23:09Don't you, ma'am?
00:23:10Yes, I'm afraid I do.
00:23:13It's a pity if it was
00:23:14the only one that was appealing.
00:23:19So it looks as if
00:23:20I'll be staying on.
00:23:23I'm sorry if it makes
00:23:24trouble between you
00:23:25and the dowager.
00:23:25Oh, don't worry about that.
00:23:27If you'd gone,
00:23:29she'd have found
00:23:29some other bone
00:23:30for us to fight over.
00:23:46You look very pretty today.
00:23:49I'm not sure how
00:23:49professional it is
00:23:50of me to point that out.
00:23:53Well, it's jolly nice of you.
00:23:57So, uh, business.
00:24:00Now, I've, uh,
00:24:02read your piece.
00:24:04Of course,
00:24:05the plight of ex-soldiers.
00:24:07It's not an obvious topic
00:24:07for a woman, Scotland.
00:24:08I know it isn't
00:24:09very feminine,
00:24:10but I felt so strongly
00:24:12about it,
00:24:12I thought it was worth a try.
00:24:14No, no, you misunderstand me.
00:24:16I like the idea
00:24:16of a woman taking a position
00:24:17on a man's subject.
00:24:18And I was going to say,
00:24:19don't be afraid of being
00:24:20serious when it feels right.
00:24:22Really?
00:24:23Really.
00:24:24No, no, I think
00:24:25we're on to something new here.
00:24:27The mature female voice
00:24:28in debate.
00:24:29I don't like the sound
00:24:30of mature.
00:24:31No, um,
00:24:33balanced?
00:24:35Yes.
00:24:36Let's go with balanced.
00:24:39You in town tonight
00:24:40and by any chance
00:24:40looking for something to do?
00:24:42I am,
00:24:43but sadly I'm spoken for.
00:24:46It's a pity.
00:24:48You will let me know
00:24:49when you're up in London again.
00:24:54Why are you bothering
00:24:55with Thomas?
00:24:57He's going.
00:24:58Good riddance.
00:24:59I don't know.
00:25:01Something he said.
00:25:04I feel funny taking his job.
00:25:06You haven't taken his job.
00:25:08He filled him for you
00:25:09while you were away,
00:25:10that's all.
00:25:11Mm.
00:25:13I might ask Mrs Hughes.
00:25:14She usually knows
00:25:15what's going on.
00:25:17Oh.
00:25:19Which is more than you do.
00:25:29Taxi!
00:25:35What's that?
00:25:36Mrs Hughes.
00:25:51Now I understand.
00:25:54You're not too shocked then?
00:25:57No.
00:25:58But why is Mr Carson?
00:26:00It's not as if none of us knew.
00:26:02I think the point is
00:26:03we didn't know officially.
00:26:06That's what Mr Carson
00:26:07finds hard.
00:26:08He can't avoid
00:26:09the subject any longer
00:26:10because it's lying
00:26:11there on the mat.
00:26:12And he can't stand up
00:26:13to Jimmy?
00:26:14He says he's powerless.
00:26:16And it's true
00:26:17we won't help Thomas
00:26:18by putting him in prison.
00:26:19I wouldn't wish that
00:26:20on any man.
00:26:23Imagine me feeling
00:26:24sorry for Thomas.
00:26:26Life is full of surprises.
00:26:31You don't think
00:26:32we should have waited?
00:26:33No.
00:26:34Why should your delicious dinner
00:26:35be spoiled?
00:26:36Just because Rose
00:26:36has forgotten the time.
00:26:37It's my fault.
00:26:39I shouldn't have let her
00:26:40out of my sight.
00:26:41Nonsense.
00:26:41You had stuff to see to.
00:26:43Talking of which,
00:26:44how did you get on today
00:26:45with your editor?
00:26:46Oh, quite well,
00:26:48I think.
00:26:49How about you, Matthew?
00:26:51I was only running errands.
00:26:52My main thing is tomorrow.
00:26:55Me?
00:26:56What is it?
00:26:58Come on.
00:26:59This is the driver
00:27:01who took up Lady Rose
00:27:02from outside the house,
00:27:03milady.
00:27:04I came back
00:27:05because she left
00:27:06the scarf
00:27:07in the back of my cab.
00:27:09How very good of you.
00:27:11Go on.
00:27:12Tell them why
00:27:13they sent you up
00:27:13to the dining room.
00:27:16I know where she is, ma'am.
00:27:18Your mate downstairs
00:27:19said you might like to hear.
00:27:20And she was right.
00:27:22Where did she go?
00:27:23First to Warwick Square
00:27:26to pick up a friend.
00:27:28And then you took her
00:27:30on somewhere?
00:27:31Eventually.
00:27:32I was set outside
00:27:33for the best part
00:27:34of two hours.
00:27:38How very expensive.
00:27:40When they came out,
00:27:42they said they wanted
00:27:43to go to a club
00:27:44The Blue Dragon
00:27:45on Great Street.
00:27:47And what sort of club
00:27:48is that?
00:27:50Well,
00:27:52you're not.
00:27:53That's the point.
00:27:55I don't.
00:28:08I don't.
00:28:15I don't.
00:28:16I don't.
00:28:19I don't.
00:28:31I don't.
00:28:33I don't.
00:28:33I don't.
00:28:34I don't.
00:28:35I don't.
00:28:35I don't.
00:28:37I don't.
00:28:38I don't.
00:28:39I don't.
00:28:40I don't.
00:28:40I don't.
00:28:41I don't.
00:28:42I don't.
00:28:42I don't.
00:28:43I don't.
00:28:43I don't.
00:28:43I don't.
00:28:43I don't.
00:28:44This is like the Outer Circle from Dante's Inferno.
00:28:46The Outer Circle.
00:28:49There she is.
00:28:51Heavens, what a transformation.
00:28:56And that, presumably, is the friend she spent two hours with in Warwick Square.
00:29:01Let's not start down that track.
00:29:25How on earth did you find me?
00:29:27How do you do?
00:29:27I'm a cousin of Rose's mother.
00:29:29Lady Rosamund Painswick.
00:29:31Miss Terence Margodale.
00:29:33How do you do?
00:29:33Please sit down.
00:29:35Can you bring some more glasses?
00:29:38Tell me, where is Mrs. Margodale?
00:29:40She's in the country, at the...
00:29:46Terence used to work for Daddy, so he's more of a family friend, really.
00:29:50Oh, so Cousin Shrimpy will be pleased to hear about him, will he?
00:29:53No, please...
00:29:53Why don't we dance?
00:29:56Ladies and gentlemen, we're strong for the hell for our lives.
00:30:07Now, look, I think I can just about get Rosamund and Edith to keep their mouths shut,
00:30:10if you come back with us now and have nothing more to do with this man.
00:30:13At least, not until you're out of our charge.
00:30:16But, you know, he's...
00:30:17He's...
00:30:17He's terribly unhappy.
00:30:18And it's not his fault at all.
00:30:19His wife is absolutely horrid.
00:30:21Married men who wish to seduce young women always have horrid wives.
00:30:24I suggest you meet Mrs. Margodale before you come to any final conclusions.
00:30:28You're wrong.
00:30:28He's in love with me.
00:30:29He wants to marry me just as soon as he can get a divorce.
00:30:32And when will that be?
00:30:34Well, you see, it's terribly difficult.
00:30:36Yes, I thought it might be.
00:30:37Now, are you going to accept my conditions?
00:30:39Or do I throw you to Lady Rosamund?
00:30:42Why are you helping me?
00:30:44I'm on the side of the downtrodden.
00:30:50Excuse me.
00:30:55I rather like Warwick Square.
00:30:57A sort of Belgravia without the bustle.
00:30:59We haven't been there very long.
00:31:01Rose is feeling rather tired, so we're leaving.
00:31:04But we do need to stay for a...
00:31:10Well, no, no, I'm...
00:31:11I'm glad she's staying.
00:31:13But one forgets about parenthood.
00:31:16The on and onness of it.
00:31:18Were you a very involved mother with Robert and Rosamund?
00:31:21Does it surprise you?
00:31:23A bit.
00:31:24I'd imagine them surrounded by nannies and governesses being starched and ironed to spend an hour with you after tea.
00:31:31Yes, but it was an hour every day.
00:31:36I see, yes.
00:31:38How tiring.
00:31:41After the money turned up from Mr Swire, things went back to normal.
00:31:50Mr Carson, may I have a word?
00:31:52I'll leave you.
00:31:56Well?
00:32:00When's Mr Barrow leaving?
00:32:02I'm not sure.
00:32:04He's lost his job.
00:32:05Why can't he just go?
00:32:06I find it very awkward.
00:32:08He made a mistake.
00:32:09You're still in one piece.
00:32:11Why do you have to be such a big girl's blouse about it?
00:32:15I'm sorry, Mr Carson, but I won't change my mind.
00:32:21I suppose you know who's put him up to this, Mr Carson.
00:32:25Mr Bates is gobbly, isn't he?
00:32:27Why do you say that?
00:32:29Well, everyone used to talk about him as if he could walk on water.
00:32:32He's got a mouth in him.
00:32:33What did he say?
00:32:34He was sticking up for Mr Barrow.
00:32:37Is this because of Mr Carson not giving him a reference?
00:32:40I don't think it's right, do you?
00:32:41Yes, I bloody well do think it's right.
00:32:47You know nothing about it.
00:32:52What's happened?
00:32:55What did I say?
00:32:56What did I say?
00:32:57I shouldn't get involved, dear.
00:32:58If you'll take my advice, I should stay out of it.
00:33:07Tell me, has there been any progress with Ethel?
00:33:10No.
00:33:11I'm sorry to disappoint you, but she doesn't want to go.
00:33:14Not one of them is right.
00:33:15One?
00:33:16A Mrs Watson.
00:33:18But the house was near where the Bryants live.
00:33:21And to be honest, I suspect that was the reason.
00:33:23A chance to see little Charlie from time to time.
00:33:26Well, I can't blame her for that.
00:33:28Of course not.
00:33:29But the Bryants would be bound to find out.
00:33:31Which would only lead to more heartbreak.
00:33:39I'll write to you as soon as I hear.
00:33:41But it's extremely unlikely there is anything wrong at all.
00:33:45This may prove an expensive journey for you.
00:33:48May I ask you a question, Dr Ryder?
00:33:52Has my wife been to see you?
00:33:55I'm not aware of treating a Mrs Crawley,
00:33:57but even if I had, I could not possibly comment on it.
00:33:59Of course.
00:34:01It's only...
00:34:03I can't bear to think of her being worried
00:34:04when I know very well that if anyone's to blame, it's me.
00:34:08I'm not sure blame's a very useful concept in this area.
00:34:13Please believe me that probability and logic
00:34:16indicate a Crawley baby yowling in its crib before too long.
00:34:24Goodbye.
00:34:25Goodbye.
00:34:31I don't know.
00:34:33It's well done.
00:34:39I won't...
00:34:40Mrs. Levinson for Dr. Ryder.
00:34:48I should buck you up
00:34:55Why did you go without saying
00:34:57When I knew all along it was me
00:34:59You know nothing of the sort
00:35:02In fact
00:35:04It was me
00:35:06What do you mean
00:35:09There was something wrong
00:35:11With
00:35:14Actually I can't talk about this sort of thing
00:35:16Even to you
00:35:17You sound like Robert
00:35:18Well I am his daughter
00:35:22The fact is
00:35:24It meant a small operation
00:35:26What?
00:35:28It's alright
00:35:29It was weeks ago
00:35:30That's why I've been keeping you at arm's length
00:35:35I thought you'd gone off me
00:35:38Anyway
00:35:40Today was just to see if all is well
00:35:42And he says it is
00:35:44He says I'm to get in touch with him in six months time
00:35:47But that I'll be pregnant before then
00:35:53So
00:35:55Now we can start making babies
00:36:01I feel very guilty
00:36:02Not telling Susan about last night
00:36:05Mummy wouldn't understand
00:36:06Nor do I
00:36:07What were you thinking?
00:36:09A respectable well-born young woman
00:36:11Going out with a married man
00:36:12Rose knows that it all depends on her behaviour
00:36:15For the rest of her stay
00:36:16One false step
00:36:17And I shall personally telephone Lady Flinshire
00:36:20Very well
00:36:22But I don't approve
00:36:46Rose you've obviously read too many novels
00:36:49About young women admired for their feistiness
00:36:54Do you think they will keep quiet?
00:36:56I expect so
00:36:57As long as you stick to your side of the bargain
00:37:00Even Cousin Rosamond
00:37:01She didn't like being made to keep the secret
00:37:04Probably because she knows that Granny would be furious
00:37:14And
00:37:16You see
00:37:17How I turn it
00:37:18First this way
00:37:20And now that
00:37:26Alfred what's the matter?
00:37:27That's not easy about this business with Mr Bower
00:37:30Well why not take a turn with Mr Moseley's bat
00:37:32I'd like to put a smile on your face
00:37:37Is Mr Carson really not giving Mr Bower a reference?
00:37:40What will he do if he hasn't got a reference?
00:37:42Well he could always go abroad
00:37:44He might do well in America Mr Bower
00:37:47Seems a bit drastic
00:37:48Why should he go abroad?
00:37:49Keep your nose out of it
00:37:54Why won't someone tell us what's going on?
00:37:56Because you wouldn't understand it
00:37:59I very much hope
00:38:02Why didn't Carson tell me?
00:38:03He's the one who's being undermined
00:38:05It's a very difficult subject for him to discuss
00:38:07I can imagine
00:38:09But it's not as if we didn't all know about Barrow
00:38:12That's what I said to Mrs Hughes
00:38:14I mean if I shouted blue murder
00:38:16Every time someone tried to kiss me at Eton
00:38:17I'd have gone hoarse in a month
00:38:20What a tiresome fellow
00:38:22It's not the boy's fault my lord
00:38:23He's been whipped up
00:38:25Told if he doesn't see it through
00:38:27We'd all suspect him of batting for the same team
00:38:30Crikey
00:38:30But who'd do that?
00:38:32Who's got it in for Barrow?
00:38:34Miss O'Brien
00:38:35O'Brien?
00:38:36I thought they were as thick as thieves
00:38:39Not now my lord
00:38:43Now
00:38:45I've spoken to your mother
00:38:46She has a new plan for when you leave here
00:38:48Why aren't I going back to London?
00:38:50Oh no, no
00:38:51It's so horrid and dusty
00:38:54What is mummy's plan?
00:38:56They're opening Dunneagle early
00:38:58You ought to go there
00:38:59On my own?
00:39:01No
00:39:01Your aunt Agatha will keep you company
00:39:05Alone in Scotland with aunt Agatha?
00:39:07She can't be serious
00:39:09I know, I know
00:39:10Lady Agatha isn't much of a party person
00:39:12I admit
00:39:13This is all because I went up to London
00:39:15To see Terence, isn't it?
00:39:17How did she find out who gave me away?
00:39:20I don't know who Terence is
00:39:23Of course, it's not your fault, Aunt Violet
00:39:25But they promised
00:39:26Don't shoot the messenger, my dear
00:39:28I'm only relaying your mother's orders
00:39:29You ought to stay for the cricket match
00:39:31And head north the next day
00:39:35Perhaps I'll run away
00:39:36Not this time
00:39:38My maid will travel with you
00:39:40So you have someone to talk to on the journey
00:39:42I won't be held a prisoner forever
00:39:44No, one day you'll be older
00:39:46And out of our power
00:39:49But not yet
00:39:56Prison's changed you
00:39:59There was a time when nothing was too bad for me
00:40:01As far as you were concerned
00:40:03Prison has changed me
00:40:05You do know Miss O'Brien is behind it
00:40:07I knew someone was
00:40:10Jimmy would never think of it for himself
00:40:12Does it bother you that you'll get away with it?
00:40:15Not really
00:40:17Without a reference
00:40:19After ten years here
00:40:22You'll never work again
00:40:24Not in England
00:40:26But elsewhere maybe
00:40:29Cousin in Bombay
00:40:30Might go there
00:40:32I like the sun
00:40:34There must be something you know about Miss O'Brien you can use against them
00:40:37You've heard of the phrase
00:40:39To know when you're beaten
00:40:42Well I'm beaten, Mr. Bates
00:40:45I'm well and truly beaten
00:40:47Then give me the weapon and I'll do the work
00:40:50What can I say that will make her change your mind?
00:40:59It is not how we do things
00:41:01Many of the farmers' families have been at Downton for as long as we have
00:41:04But we need to see more profits from the farms
00:41:06Here we go
00:41:07Profit, profit, profit
00:41:08We cannot go forward with no income
00:41:10But why not tackle it gradually?
00:41:12Perhaps buy some time by investing your capital
00:41:15I hear of schemes every day that'll double whatever's put into them
00:41:19Or treble it or more
00:41:20Many schemes offer high rewards
00:41:21Very few deliver them
00:41:22There's a chap in America
00:41:23What's his name?
00:41:24Charles Ponzi
00:41:25Who offers a huge return after 90 days
00:41:27Now Harry Stoke has gone in with a bun
00:41:29Then Harry Stoke, whoever he is, is a fool
00:41:32But if I could find out
00:41:33Robert, the last time you took an interest in investment
00:41:34You ruined the family
00:41:35Now look here
00:41:37Robert's been the captain of this ship long enough to be entitled to some respect
00:41:40He didn't mean to be disrespectful
00:41:42He does a marvellous impression of it
00:41:43We're giving the farmers a choice
00:41:45That's all
00:41:46If they want to sell
00:41:47The larger units will let us meet the challenges of the modern world
00:41:49We need to build something that will last, Papa
00:41:52Not stand by and watch it crumble into dust
00:41:54What about the tenants?
00:41:56What about the men and women who put their trust in us?
00:41:59Is this fair to them?
00:42:01I don't believe so
00:42:02But isn't the most important thing for them or us to maintain Downton as a source of employment?
00:42:09So you're against me too?
00:42:13It seems to me your plan adds up to carrying on as if nothing's changed
00:42:18To spend Matthew's money keeping up the illusion
00:42:20Then when we've fallen into a bottomless pit of debt, we'll sell up and go
00:42:24So yes, I believe Matthew is right
00:42:27I see
00:42:30You seem to be agreed there's no place for me in all this
00:42:35So obviously it's time for me to take a back seat
00:42:47Hello, is that the Daily Telegraph Information Desk?
00:42:52I want to find out about a London editor
00:42:55Michael Gregson of The Sketch
00:42:59Just some general stuff
00:43:01His education, what he's done since then
00:43:06And a little about his private life
00:43:19But why here?
00:43:21I don't like the idea of her being our first visitor
00:43:23I want to be away from the others
00:43:25I don't know why you're doing this
00:43:27You don't even like Thomas
00:43:30Because I know what it is to feel powerless
00:43:34To see your life slide away
00:43:36And there's nothing you can do to stop it
00:43:40Quite the orator
00:43:43Have you thought about standing for Parliament?
00:43:58Oh yes
00:44:00Very nice
00:44:02It'll be even better with a bit of money spent on it
00:44:05Can I get you some tea?
00:44:07If I'm staying long enough
00:44:09I don't know what it is Mr Bates wants to see me about
00:44:12You'll have time for tea
00:44:22Will that be all ma'am?
00:44:24There is one thing
00:44:26There was a letter delivered by hand this afternoon
00:44:29It's from the dowager
00:44:30She wants us to call on her in the morning
00:44:33But why would she want me?
00:44:34No doubt we'll find out in the morning
00:44:39Well, I am surprised to find that you're a fan of Mr Oscar Wilde
00:44:44You've known about Mr Barrow all along
00:44:45So what's changed now?
00:44:47Perhaps I've come to my senses
00:44:49You mean you've found a way to be even nastier than usual
00:44:51Oh, get back in the knife box, Miss Sharp
00:44:54I want you to persuade Jimmy to let Mr Barrow have a reference
00:44:58So when he leaves here, he can start again
00:45:01Why would Jimmy listen to me?
00:45:04I won't do it
00:45:06I think you will
00:45:20I'm going
00:45:20I'll throw it out by this evening
00:45:22Or?
00:45:23Or you'll find your secret is no longer safe with me
00:45:32I'm just saying I think you've made your point
00:45:35To let it go now would be the gentlemanly thing to do
00:45:38You said that if I let it go
00:45:40They'd think I was up to the same thing
00:45:42I wasn't a proper man
00:45:45If you'd done nothing, yes
00:45:48But this way, you'll come across as
00:45:51Merciful
00:45:52And not vindictive, do you see?
00:45:56I never wanted to push you this far
00:45:57Then you'll be glad to stop it
00:46:01You sure I won't be made to look a fool?
00:46:04Far from it
00:46:05I think they'll hold you higher in their estimation
00:46:09Ah, James
00:46:10Upstairs, please
00:46:11May I have a word with you, please, Mr Carson
00:46:13Before we go up
00:46:25But why, London, you've only just got back
00:46:27I've had some bad news, that's all
00:46:29What sort of bad news?
00:46:31Never mind
00:46:31It's not our business
00:46:33How's the cricket team coming along?
00:46:35We're still too short
00:46:37And you're still determined not to play?
00:46:39It's not that I won't play
00:46:40I can't play, I don't know how
00:46:42Stop twisting his arm
00:46:44Any news on the move, Tom?
00:46:46We're going to miss you both so much
00:46:47You told Matthew not to twist his arm
00:46:49Now you're doing exactly the same thing
00:46:51We just think children are happier in families
00:46:53I'm sorry, but I do
00:46:57Well, I'm glad that's settled
00:46:59But I suppose
00:47:01Barrow will have to go
00:47:03My lord?
00:47:05He's so good at cricket
00:47:07I know we were soundly beaten last year
00:47:09But he did get most of our runs
00:47:11I thought we just wanted him to have a reference
00:47:13So he could find work when he leaves
00:47:16I know, but now that I think about it
00:47:17Carson ought to insist that he stays on
00:47:20He needs to re-establish his authority over James
00:47:23Couldn't Mr Barrow just stay till after the match, my lord?
00:47:26And then go?
00:47:27That seems rather unkind
00:47:28Wouldn't we be using him?
00:47:32He might not want to stay, my lord
00:47:34After the unpleasantness?
00:47:35I think he will
00:47:37But don't forget the cricket
00:47:39I want one
00:47:45See? Hammer grip
00:47:47Is firm, but tender
00:47:49Cherish the ball
00:47:51Don't crush it
00:47:53Right, Gabriel
00:47:54Have a chance
00:47:55Is it true you've given in?
00:47:57And let Mr Barrow get away with it?
00:47:59He was dragging on and on
00:48:00At least this way will be redivian
00:48:02He heard his lordship wants him to stay for the cricket match
00:48:04And even if he does
00:48:05It won't be for much longer
00:48:06Then he'll get his reference and go
00:48:09Good riddance
00:48:19I'm going over to Wimmel Farm
00:48:21To see what we can do with the outbuildings
00:48:24Would you like to come with me?
00:48:26I'm sure you can manage on your own
00:48:34Aren't you going?
00:48:36I'll meet him there later
00:48:39He's putting a good face on it
00:48:41But you know he wants you with him on this
00:48:43More than anything
00:48:45I should not serve him well
00:48:46I don't have the instincts for what he wants to do
00:48:49You mean you're not a tradesman?
00:48:51Your word, not mine
00:48:54Shall I tell you how I look at it?
00:48:57Every man or woman who marries into this house
00:48:59Every child born into it
00:49:00Has to put their gifts at the family's disposal
00:49:04I'm a hard worker
00:49:05And have some knowledge of the land
00:49:06Matthew knows the law and the nature of business
00:49:09Which I do not
00:49:11You understand the responsibilities we owe to the people round here
00:49:14Those who work for the estate and those that don't
00:49:17It seems to me if we could manage to pool all of that
00:49:20If we each do what we can do
00:49:23Then Downton has a real chance
00:49:26You're very eloquent
00:49:28You're a good spokesman for Matthew's vision
00:49:32Better than he has been recently
00:49:34So you'll give us your backing?
00:49:39I'll think about it
00:49:43On one condition
00:49:46You play cricket for the house
00:49:50You said it yourself
00:49:51We all have to do what we can do
00:49:57For God's sake
00:49:59If it means that much to you
00:50:10Oh
00:50:10You didn't expect to find me here
00:50:14No
00:50:15I thought the only person who could tell us with any accuracy
00:50:18The Bryants' response to Ethel's working nearby
00:50:21Were the Bryants themselves
00:50:23Lady Grantham wrote to me
00:50:26Well
00:50:26It was only that Mrs Watson had answered the advertisement
00:50:29I know the circumstances
00:50:32Just as I know that you would like to see how Charlie's getting on
00:50:36As it happens
00:50:37I've been uncomfortable
00:50:38About keeping a mother from her son
00:50:40And although I would not want to confuse him
00:50:43Until he's much older
00:50:44If then
00:50:44You wouldn't have to confuse him
00:50:45I've already worked it out
00:50:47I'm his old nanny
00:50:48Who was employed by you when he was first born
00:50:50But what about when he talks about you to Mr Bryant?
00:50:52You will please leave Mr Bryant to me
00:50:55Now Ethel
00:50:57You must write to Mrs Watson today
00:50:59And get it settled
00:51:00And I'll be able to see Charlie
00:51:04It won't be easy
00:51:05It'll be easier than not seeing him
00:51:11Very much easier
00:51:15And if Mr Barrow is to stay on
00:51:18What would he be?
00:51:19My valet?
00:51:21You can make him under Butler
00:51:23Then your dinners will be grand enough for Chu Chin Chow
00:51:26And he can apply to be a butler when he does leave
00:51:28But that would make him my superior
00:51:30I don't know
00:51:31Under Butler, head valet
00:51:33There's not much in it
00:51:34The question remains
00:51:36How do we convince James?
00:51:39Well
00:51:41It's his lordship who wants Mr Barrow to stay on
00:51:45So I think his lordship can bring it about
00:51:53Is this worth it?
00:51:56I've no time to learn anything
00:51:58Shouldn't I just trust a beginner's luck?
00:52:00Certainly not
00:52:02I want you to profit from my skills in gratitude for bringing Robert round
00:52:06Not completely
00:52:07Not yet
00:52:10Elbow up
00:52:13You won't make a gentleman of me, you know
00:52:15You could teach me to fish, to ride, to shoot
00:52:17But I'd still be an Irish mick in my heart
00:52:19So I should hope
00:52:24There
00:52:25See?
00:52:26Getting the hang of it
00:52:30I'm sorry if this is inconvenient
00:52:33It's unexpected
00:52:34Not inconvenient
00:52:35I suppose I'd better just say it
00:52:39Please do
00:52:43I had the impression on my last visit that you were flirting
00:52:48Giving signs that you found me attractive
00:52:52If I'm wrong, then I apologise
00:52:53You're not wrong
00:52:58But since then I have discovered that you are in fact married
00:53:03Yes
00:53:05I'm afraid I find the idea of a married man flirting with me, wholly repugnant
00:53:11So you'll see, I must hand in my resignation at once
00:53:13No, it's true, I am married, but I hope you'll allow me to explain
00:53:17Explain what?
00:53:18I am familiar with the institution of marriage
00:53:21Yes
00:53:22Not with this one
00:53:25My wife is in an asylum
00:53:26And she has been for some years
00:53:28Lizzie was a wonderful person, though I loved her very much
00:53:30It took me a long time to accept that the woman I knew was gone
00:53:36And wouldn't be coming back
00:53:38Then why haven't you got a divorce?
00:53:40I can't
00:53:41A lunatic is not deemed responsible
00:53:43She's neither the guilty nor the innocent party
00:53:49It means that I'm tied for the rest of my life to a mad woman
00:53:59Who doesn't even know me
00:54:01I can't begin to tell you how much it cheers me to read your column
00:54:03And to meet
00:54:07When we do
00:54:08I hope very much you'll consider
00:54:11Staying on
00:54:23That's
00:54:27Yes, ma'am
00:54:34Yes, ma'am
00:54:42Settled with Ethel
00:54:42But I trust you can find another cook without too much difficulty
00:54:46Preferably one with a blameless record
00:54:48So my house ceases to be a topic of gossip
00:54:52Which is really what this is all about
00:54:54If Ethel wants to be part of her son's life
00:54:57Even a little part
00:54:58Who are we to stand in her way?
00:54:59Of course, if you had had to sell Charlie to the butcher
00:55:01To be chopped up as stew
00:55:02To achieve the same ends
00:55:04You would have done so
00:55:05Well, happily, it was not needed
00:55:17Thank you
00:55:52I thought I was helping him get out of our lives for good.
00:55:55Now he ranks higher than I do.
00:55:57I've been a damned fool.
00:56:01By the way, what was that phrase he gave you to say to Miss O'Brien?
00:56:05You can tell me now, surely.
00:56:07If you keep it under your hands.
00:56:10It was her ladyship's soap.
00:56:12What?
00:56:13I can't make any sense of it either, but that's what he said.
00:56:16Her ladyship's soap.
00:56:19And it worked.
00:56:23It's down to you, Molesley.
00:56:25Last man in.
00:56:26We're in good shape, thanks to Barrow.
00:56:28But we could do with a bonus.
00:56:30Don't worry about me, my lord. I'll show them a thing or two.
00:56:32That's the spirit.
00:56:33Well done, Papa.
00:56:34Well, I did my best. I'll just have to hope it's enough.
00:56:36Anna says we are to expect great things of Molesley.
00:56:39Oh.
00:56:46Oh, balls.
00:56:55As usual, our expectations are disappointed.
00:56:58Let's have some tea.
00:57:01Who gave me away?
00:57:03Was it you?
00:57:04Certainly not.
00:57:05Because in case you don't know, I'm being sent north tomorrow with a monster for a jailer.
00:57:11Well, what did she expect carrying on with a married man as if her home were in a tree?
00:57:16Granny, who told you?
00:57:18How could you have done that?
00:57:20After you promised?
00:57:21But Mama said you told her.
00:57:22I just filled in the details.
00:57:24I never said a word.
00:57:25Have you tricked me, Mama?
00:57:26Tricked? I'm not a conjurer.
00:57:28I only did what was necessary to preserve the honour of the family.
00:57:31In other words, you tricked me.
00:57:35James, you put up a very good show out there.
00:57:38Well done.
00:57:39Thank you, my lord.
00:57:40As a matter of fact, I wanted to thank you for your generosity with Barrow.
00:57:44Letting him stay on shows a real largeness of spirit.
00:57:47Stay on?
00:57:48Mr. Barrow is staying on?
00:57:50As under Butler.
00:57:51I was given the impression you'd allowed it.
00:57:53I allowed him to have a decent reference for when he left.
00:57:56But you won't mind too much, will you?
00:57:59Oh, and by the way, congratulations on your appointment as first footman.
00:58:05Thank you, my lord.
00:58:06Very much.
00:58:24Lord Grantham, I believe.
00:58:25The same?
00:58:26Looking for a Mr. Alfred Nugent, my lord.
00:58:29And you are?
00:58:31Inspector Stanford and Sergeant Brand, York Police.
00:58:35Alfred can't have got into trouble with the police.
00:58:37That's not possible.
00:58:38He's made a complaint concerning a Mr. Thomas Barrow,
00:58:42making an assault of a criminal nature on another of your employees.
00:58:46That is a very serious allegation.
00:58:49It is, my lord.
00:58:49Serious enough to bring us here to interrupt your cricket match.
00:58:52You'd like to point out the young gentleman?
00:58:54He's over.
00:58:54I'll fetch him.
00:58:56Oh, well, God.
00:58:56I think it's better if you leave it to his lordship.
00:58:59I'm sure he can get to the bottom of it.
00:59:03But I know what I saw, my lord, and it weren't right.
00:59:06I'm not asking you to abandon your beliefs, Alfred.
00:59:09Just to introduce a little kindness into the equation.
00:59:11Am I not to stand up against evil?
00:59:13Evil?
00:59:15Well, Thomas does not choose to be the way he is.
00:59:17And what harm was done, really, that his life should be destroyed for it?
00:59:22Well, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
00:59:25Are you without sin, Alfred?
00:59:26For I am certainly not.
00:59:31Sorry about your son, Mr. Molson.
00:59:33Don't be.
00:59:34He talks such a lovely game.
00:59:36He could always talk a good game of cricket.
00:59:39He just couldn't play it.
00:59:42Just as I thought, there's been a mix-up.
00:59:45Alfred here witnessed some roughhousing between two of the staff and misinterpreted it.
00:59:49Why did you make the telephone call without checking your facts?
00:59:54I'm very much afraid to say he was a bit squiffy.
00:59:57Weren't you, Alfred?
01:00:01I made the call before I knew what I was doing.
01:00:04I'd been at the cider.
01:00:06You what?
01:00:07Oh, I think we can overlook it this once.
01:00:09Don't you, Carson?
01:00:14So, you see, I'm afraid there's really nothing to investigate.
01:00:16I'm terribly sorry to have wasted your time.
01:00:18Would you care to have some tea?
01:00:21Well, thank you, Lord Grantham.
01:00:22I think we've got the measure of it.
01:00:24Good luck with your match.
01:00:47Where is Nanny?
01:00:50Gone to get some baby paraphernalia.
01:00:53Shall I tell her you're looking for her?
01:00:56No.
01:00:58No, I'll be here anyway.
01:01:10You're very good to play.
01:01:18Can I ask you something?
01:01:20Of course.
01:01:23If I were to say I'd live with you while Sibby's little, and that we wouldn't move out until she's
01:01:28older, would you mind?
01:01:31I should be delighted.
01:01:34And I know it's what Sibyl would want.
01:01:37I think you're right.
01:01:44Tom says Robert's ready to get behind the plan.
01:01:47I'm glad.
01:01:49So we'll be building a new kingdom while we make our little prince.
01:01:53I'm looking forward to both enormously.
01:01:56All right, gentlemen.
01:01:57Time's up.
01:01:59I'm about to start again.
01:02:01I hope I can count on you not to laugh when I drop the ball.
01:02:04You can always count on me.
01:02:06I know that.
01:02:08I don't think it was possible to laugh as much as I love you.
01:02:12That's you.
01:02:12Hurry up.
01:02:13I'm keeping everyone waiting.
01:02:14I've got to go.
01:02:16Of course you have.
01:02:33Tom seems to think he might be coming round.
01:02:36Well, he's brought me round more like, but yes.
01:02:39All right.
01:02:41Let's give it a go and see what the future brings.
01:03:02Catch it!
01:03:05Catch it!
01:03:11Catch it!
01:03:12Catch it!
01:03:14Catch it!
01:03:15Catch it!
01:03:15Catch it!
01:03:15Catch it!
01:03:15Catch it!
01:03:16Catch it!
