00:07Wait one moment.
00:15She can decide whether or not she wants to throw these away.
00:18Quite right.
00:33But how would it be funded?
00:35There's quite a lot in the kitty and we'd have another campaign.
00:39I'm sure there'd be plenty of volunteers to keep up standards.
00:41Are you? For how long? And what about the cricket?
00:44We'd have to recite the pitch, my lord.
00:46Of course it would take work, but we've got until the summer.
00:49And think what we're gaining.
00:50A beautiful garden of remembrance, a proud memorial at its heart.
00:53Where people can walk and sit and think about their loved ones.
00:57They can come here from all around and spend an hour with their sacred memories, in peace and at rest.
01:02But this pitch has been prepared over many years and with a great deal of work for the cricket.
01:06I suppose that field below Peckham Wood could be made into a pitch.
01:08Surely the right place is in the centre of the village where people will pass it every day.
01:12Will it be peaceful and quiet there, my lord? A fit place for mourning.
01:15Well, that's what they're doing in Sowerby and I'm certain it's where most of them will be.
01:19And is our memorial to be no better than most of them?
01:23It comes down to priorities, Lord Grantham.
01:25And which is more important, the game of cricket or the loss of a son in the course of his
01:29duty?
01:40Well, this is it then.
01:42Is there something I want to say?
01:45I'm sorry I put you through all that trouble.
01:47Forget it.
01:48It's in the past.
01:49You've been a good friend to me, Thomas.
01:51If anyone had told me that I'd have been friends with a man like you, I'd have not believed them.
01:59But we have been friends.
02:02And I'm sad to see the back of you.
02:04I am.
02:06You can always write.
02:08I'm not much of letter writing.
02:10I'll do my best.
02:12But in case we don't meet again, I hope you find some happiness.
02:19I do, truly.
02:21Well, the same for you, too, too.
02:23I'll be dandy.
02:26I'd best be off.
02:51I'm sorry, Jimmy's gone.
02:53Oh, no.
02:53It was nice having a bonny face about the house.
02:56We'll have to make do with Mr. Bowlesley.
02:59How are your studies going?
03:00Slowly.
03:02It's bound to be hard when you've not been at school for a while.
03:04It's not hard.
03:05It's impossible.
03:06But what's the answer?
03:08Is the pudding ready to go up?
03:11Mrs. Patmore, the pudding.
03:12Sorry, I was miles away.
03:14Now, there's a sauce to go with that.
03:15Shall I put it on one tray or will Mr. Barrow lend a hand?
03:18All on one tray, please.
03:19I can't be bothered to fight it out with him.
03:21Jimmy, where are you when we need you?
03:29Oh, Mr. Carson.
03:30What is it now?
03:31Now that Jimmy, er, James has gone, do I take it that I am now first footman?
03:37Since you are the only footman, you are first, second, third and last.
03:42Make what you will of it.
03:44Mr. Moseley, we're nearly at the end of those distinctions.
03:47There will come a time when a householder's lucky to boast any footman.
03:50Now, get that up to the dining room.
03:54Did it not go well this morning?
03:55I was disappointed, if you must know.
03:57But it's early days.
04:00George is coming on so fast.
04:02It's wonderful how they seem to change week by week at his age.
04:06He's rather sweet, isn't he?
04:08How are you getting on with repairing the fire damage?
04:10Oh, they're all being marvellous, but I do feel such an idiot.
04:13Maybe because you behave like an idiot.
04:15Well, the good thing is they'll have sorted it out in a day or two.
04:18Did I tell you I got this letter from Charles Blake?
04:20What does he want?
04:21An art historian he knows is writing a book on Della Francesca.
04:25He wasn't aware we had one of his paintings at Downton.
04:27Apparently he's desperate to see it.
04:29I assume it's just an excuse so Charles can pay court to marry.
04:33He doesn't say he wants to come.
04:34He only wrote to introduce his friend, Simon Bricker.
04:37I can invite Charles if you like.
04:38I don't mind either way.
04:40I think I will ask him.
04:41We don't know this Mr. Bricker.
04:42It might be easier if Charles is here.
04:44Well, if you want me to, don't forget I'm away from Tuesday.
04:46I wish I knew where you were going.
04:48I haven't a clue.
04:48I expect we'll drive around for a few days and stop and sketch when we see a view we like.
04:54Who's this with?
04:55Annabelle Portsmouth.
04:56It'll be fun.
04:57How was your morning, Papa?
04:58Have you decided where to put the memorial?
05:00No.
05:01Carson?
05:02Not yet, my lady.
05:05It's difficult to please everyone.
05:08Bella Davis telephoned this morning.
05:09She was talking about her work with the Russian refugees in York.
05:12Are there many Russian refugees in York?
05:14I'm afraid so.
05:14They're scattered all over Europe, poor devils.
05:17Trying to establish communities to save what's left of their culture after the ravages of revolution.
05:22Ghastly for them, eh, Tom?
05:24I feel sorry for anyone exiled from their own country.
05:26The exiles are the lucky ones.
05:28I pity those who stayed behind only to be tortured and murdered in their thousands.
05:31Leave him alone, Papa.
05:33I was at the hospital today, and Mrs. Henderson has done the most generous thing.
05:38And given a wireless to the ward, so that they can listen to music, and the news, and sometimes even
05:43a play.
05:43I can't tell you how it brightens things up.
05:45I'm told that they're far more efficient now, and much easier to tune.
05:49No.
05:50I haven't asked anything.
05:51No.
05:53Shall we go through and let the servants get in here?
06:05Follow Blade.
06:09Look who it is.
06:10Come in, my lady.
06:12Hello, Mrs. Drew.
06:13I hope I'm not being a nuisance.
06:17Hello, darling.
06:20Hello.
06:21How are you?
06:23Why don't you sit there, my lady?
06:24Have they started cleaning up after the fire?
06:26They're doing it now.
06:28I think, Kevin, it was only my room.
06:29God, I was stupid.
06:31It's wonderful, the interest you take in her, my lady.
06:34Perhaps you'll keep an eye on her as she grows.
06:40I'm sure I will.
06:41It'd be a blessing if you would.
06:43After all, she's almost a foundling.
06:45No parents of her own, no family, no one to turn to.
06:48Tim, what are you saying?
06:50We're a family now.
06:52I know, but there's a limit to what we can do with three of our own.
06:55I don't understand you.
06:57Marigold is one of our own.
06:59Oh, very nearly.
07:00All I'm saying is her ladyship could prove to be a real blessing.
07:03She'll only take an interest.
07:05She seems a bright little thing to me.
07:14Well, I'd have to think about it.
07:16Of course you will.
07:17Because if people get used to seeing it together, you can't just duck out.
07:22That's why I must think carefully and only take it on if I'm sure.
07:26You could be a sort of godmother.
07:29That's it.
07:30Yes, I could be Marigold's godmother.
07:32She's got a godmother.
07:34We had her christened in my sister.
07:35Talk it over with his lordship, why don't you?
07:38See what he thinks.
07:39Maybe I could take her up to the house to visit my niece and nephew.
07:43My eye.
07:44How lucky would she be?
07:46This is all very good of you, milady, I'm sure.
07:48Give it a thought.
07:49Then we'll see.
07:56Sorry.
07:58Dr Clarkson has just been telling me about the latest report of the drug insulin.
08:02Oh.
08:02It's going to make a great difference to many lives.
08:05I'm quite sure of that.
08:06I agree.
08:07We're at Blackwater here, but heaven knows of our share of diabetes.
08:10Just think, a diagnosis will no longer be a death sentence.
08:14I'm glad to see your over-interests are reasserting themselves.
08:18Why do you say that?
08:18Mrs Crawley's been distracted lately.
08:21With Lord Merton frisking around her skirts and getting in the way.
08:25You make too much of it.
08:27Do I?
08:28We've been invited to tea with Lord Merton at Cavernham.
08:32I opened the letter this morning.
08:34Maybe you're the real quarry, and he's only hunting me to throw you off the scent.
08:37I may be older than I was, but I can still tell when a man is interested.
08:42I believe Cavernham Park has some beautiful gardens.
08:45Though it's the wrong time of year to see them.
08:46The promise of the gardens in summer will be the final worm on the hook.
08:50Honestly, I'm as good at being teased as the next man, but even my sense of humour has its limits.
09:00Off you go, Miss Goody Two-Shoes.
09:02You can play the Holy Mother all you like.
09:04You still nearly got me sacked.
09:06Leave her alone.
09:08Oh, gallant Mr Moseley.
09:10She's never told you, though, has she?
09:12Miss Baxter has had troubles in the past, which you try to use against her,
09:15until her ladyship put a stop to it.
09:17That is all I need to know.
09:18I knew she hadn't told you.
09:21Barrow.
09:23Could you please tell Mrs Patmore I'm here?
09:25Very good, my lady.
09:31A delicious dinner, Mrs Patmore.
09:34Thank you very much.
09:35Madge said you wanted a word.
09:37Well, only if it's convenient, my lady.
09:39But you know that your woman who works for the school?
09:42Miss Bunting, Mr Branson's friend.
09:44Yes.
09:45I didn't like to ask him in case he found it awkward,
09:47but I was wondering if she might be prepared to take on some extra work.
09:52But suppose they telephone, Lady Portsmouth.
09:55She's promised she'll cover for me.
09:56I feel quite nervous, and I'm not even going.
09:59We must use the clothes carefully,
10:01so you can take them on and off without my help.
10:03Well, I'll have his help.
10:05Honestly, my lady, you better hope I never write my memoirs.
10:08There is one thing I've got to ask you.
10:10I'm really sorry, but I must.
10:12Go on.
10:15I have to be sure there aren't any consequences.
10:19What sort of consequences?
10:20Well, you know.
10:22No, I don't.
10:24Oh, my God.
10:27I mean, I beg your pardon, my lady.
10:29But you see, I can't just go into a shop and buy something.
10:33What if I were recognised?
10:35But I wouldn't know what to buy.
10:37I've thought of that.
10:40I have a copy of Marie Stopes' book.
10:43Tells you everything.
10:45Well, won't he take care of it?
10:47I don't think one should rely on a man in that department, do you?
10:52I suppose I'm recognised.
10:53But you won't be.
10:55And even if you are, you're married.
10:57With a living husband.
10:58Why shouldn't you buy one?
11:05Is it true that Lady Rose wants his lordship to buy a wireless?
11:08She wants him to, but whether he will or not is another matter.
11:10I like the idea of a wireless.
11:12To hear people talking and singing in London and all sorts.
11:15What's so good about that when you go to the music hall in York?
11:18I'd rather hear a live singer, mate.
11:20If you're looking for Miss Baxter, she's still upstairs.
11:23Why just to make everything sound so nasty all the time?
11:25I'm nasty about Miss Baxter because she came here to help and support me and she's broken her word.
11:30I doubt that's how she'd put it.
11:33Do you think with her past she'd come near a house like this?
11:36She'd be lucky to get work in a public laundry.
11:38I'm sure she's grateful.
11:40Then she's a funny way of showing it.
11:43You do know she's a thief.
11:49Stole her mistress's jewels.
11:51There must be more to it than that.
11:53No, she sneaked up to the bedroom, snatched up the pieces, pearl necklaces, diamond bracelets, put them in her pockets.
12:00Then tried to make it look as if someone had broken it.
12:03Well, she was obviously unsuccessful.
12:05Oh, they gave her five years, but she only served three.
12:08Came out a few months before I brought her up here, so don't say she doesn't owe me.
12:12Has Mrs Bates come down yet?
12:14Not yet.
12:15We were just discussing your friend, Miss Baxter.
12:18Is she my friend, particularly?
12:20She seems to think so.
12:22I know you mean to lead me into further inquiry, but I couldn't care less what you think, Thomas.
12:27On that subject or any other.
12:28I agree.
12:30No, you don't.
12:32Because you listened to the story, didn't you?
12:41What was that about?
12:44Oh, nothing.
12:51Must remember to organise a car to meet Charles Blake and his friend.
12:54They'll be here at tea time.
12:56Do people think we're some sort of hotel that never presents a bill?
12:59You've already made that joke.
13:01There you are.
13:02I need your advice.
13:04How flattering.
13:05What is it?
13:06Should I go?
13:07No, no, it's not a secret.
13:09I've been talking to Mr Drew.
13:11Did you know they've taken in a child, the daughter of a friend who died?
13:15How kind of them.
13:17Anyway, the girl is very endearing, and I think I'd like to be involved in her future, to help her
13:22in some way.
13:22Maybe with school fees or something.
13:25I've money from my articles and Grandpapa's trust.
13:28Has Drew put you up to this?
13:30No.
13:31But I'd like to take an active interest.
13:34It'll be good for me.
13:36It's your money.
13:37Do what you like with it.
13:39But you can't just give the child up when you get bored.
13:42I won't get bored.
13:44Couser Robert, did you see this article about how wirelessly are getting cheaper and more reliable?
13:50No.
13:51I just thought it was interesting.
13:54No.
13:57What's Mr Branson's power doing down here?
14:00Why, don't you approve?
14:01Last time she came, she gave them all an earful.
14:04I cannot solve the mystery.
14:06How are you getting on with the memorial?
14:08His lordship is resisting the idea of the garden.
14:13You don't agree with him?
14:14Well, as it happens, I do.
14:17What?
14:17I don't believe in your garden of remembrance.
14:21In a town, maybe.
14:23But the Yorkshire scenery is our garden of remembrance.
14:26I'd prefer to see a memorial at the heart of village life so we'd pass it on the way to
14:30church or the shop
14:32and give a thought to the boys who fell.
14:35You surprised me, Mrs Hughes.
14:36I was disappointed in his lordship, but I'm more disappointed in you.
14:41Every relationship has its ups and downs.
14:49Yes, Miss?
14:51Um.
14:54Is there a lady I could deal with?
14:59Very good, madam.
15:00If you'll just wait there.
15:08I've not quite made up my mind.
15:09Why not serve the gentleman first?
15:11That's kind of you.
15:12Packet of safety razor blades, please.
15:17That's sixpins, sir.
15:23If we keep this up, we'll have another customer along soon.
15:27Yes.
15:28Um.
15:30I would like to buy...
15:33one of these.
15:37I can see you're married.
15:39I am married, yes.
15:40But you don't wish for any more children?
15:42That's it.
15:42That's right.
15:43There is always abstinence.
15:47Of course there is, but...
15:49I don't want to take any risks because of my health.
15:52Oh, I see.
15:53Well, that does put a slightly different colour on it.
15:58Three and eleven.
16:03Keep the change.
16:05What about the instructions?
16:07They can be very difficult to manage.
16:08I'm sure it's perfect.
16:13I'll take half a crown a lesson.
16:16That's five shillings a week.
16:17You can use my sitting room if you need somewhere private.
16:20I'll see you after school.
16:21Goodbye.
16:22Well, wait a minute.
16:23That is Daisy's busiest time.
16:25I can't come any earlier.
16:26Oh, well then.
16:27Perhaps I'm excited.
16:29But I'll pay.
16:30It's not right that you should waste your money on me.
16:32No, I want to pay.
16:34That's a nice thing you're doing.
16:35Is it?
16:36Well, I think I've been a damn fool and doubled my workload.
16:40I wondered who was in here.
16:41We're just sorting out some things for Rose's refugees.
16:45Poor Rose.
16:46Why are you so against getting a wireless?
16:48In a way, I wish you'd just say it.
16:50Cousin Robert, please buy a wireless for Downton.
16:52I wouldn't mind.
16:53That's because you're American, but I'm not.
16:55And I find the whole idea a kind of thief of life.
16:57That people should waste hours huddled around a wooden box,
17:01listening to someone talking at them,
17:02burbling in nanities from somewhere else.
17:04But surely now, with the latest news and everything,
17:06and it must be a boon for the old.
17:07What do you think, Bates?
17:08I can't see the dowager with a wireless, my lady.
17:11It's a fad.
17:12It won't last.
17:13Oh, no, not that one.
17:26This is nice.
17:27Lord Grantham said it was the coldest house in Yorkshire.
17:31Oh, you're here.
17:32I'm so pleased.
17:33How charming it is.
17:34Now we do our best.
17:36I know it's the wrong time of year,
17:37but I would love to see the gardens.
17:39We shouldn't be allowed Lord Merchant
17:41to tell us how he's planned our visit.
17:43Of course.
17:44It is his house.
17:45Yes.
17:46I know that.
17:48Good morning.
17:53You've been very quiet all day.
17:55Have I?
17:56I wish you'd tell me what it is.
18:00Very well.
18:05Last night, Mr. Barrow chose to give me an account of your history.
18:09He was bound to, sooner or later.
18:11His version is a bleak one, which will not surprise you.
18:14What did he say?
18:15Well, for a start, he seemed to suggest that you were in some sort of privileged position.
18:21I was a trusted senior lady's maid to a good woman in a rich and respectable household.
18:27But then he said that you just took your employer's jewels,
18:34snatched them up and pushed them into your pocket.
18:37I stole a pearl necklace with a ruby clasp,
18:40two diamond bracelets and four rings.
18:42Did he tell you I tried to pretend it was a burglary?
18:46Well then, I think you have all the relevant information.
18:51There must be something more.
18:53There must have been a cause, a reason for you to do such a thing.
18:55What sort of cause?
18:57Well, I don't know.
18:59You know, someone that you cared for needed money for an emergency and you were desperate to help.
19:05I was a common thief, Mr. Molesley.
19:07A convicted criminal, a jailbird.
19:10I don't believe you.
19:11Because you don't want to.
19:13I would only say that I am not that person now.
19:27When you finish your tea, we can walk the terraces if you like.
19:30That sounds ideal.
19:32As a matter of fact, I recently read a book on the science of quarantine and I've been looking forward
19:36to discussing it with you.
19:38We mustn't bore Lady Grantham.
19:40Oh, you're right.
19:41You see, I need your guiding hand to keep me in check.
19:44Mrs. Crawley is never happier than when she has a chance to use her guiding hand.
19:49Are you, dear?
19:52How pretty this room is.
19:54Mama readied all these rooms in the 80s.
19:56She had good taste, I think.
19:58Is one allowed to brag about one's mother?
20:00So the late Lady Merton didn't change it?
20:03Ada, no.
20:04She didn't use it much.
20:05She thought it was rather drafty, being so near the front door.
20:07I suppose she had a point.
20:10If you don't like being quite so near the front door.
20:14Well, I think it's enchanting.
20:16It's a woman's room, though.
20:18Of course.
20:19The library and the dining room are masculine.
20:22The drawing rooms and the music room are feminine, or so I was taught.
20:25I didn't mean that exactly.
20:27More that it needs a woman's presence to make sense of it.
20:30When I'm on my own in here, I feel like a bull in a china shop.
20:37Why aren't you going with her?
20:38What?
20:39With Lady Mary.
20:40She'll be away for almost a week.
20:42Yes, but they're driving round.
20:44They don't know where they'll stay or anything.
20:46She and Lady Portsmouth?
20:47Yes.
20:48It doesn't sound much like Lady Mary.
20:49It sounds a bit bohemian.
20:51Well, I suppose she's allowed to get away from Miss Hall if she wants to.
20:55Like anyone.
20:55Yes, I suppose she is.
20:59What do you make of Edith's burst of generosity for the Drew girl?
21:02I don't begrudge it.
21:03In all probability, her beloved Gregson is dead,
21:06and she has to sit and watch her sister's children play.
21:08She wants someone to love.
21:10It's as simple as that.
21:11Of course, the problem will come when she has a child of her own to distract her.
21:15Let's cross that bridge when we come to it.
21:17And let's hope the Drews don't get sick of her in the meantime.
21:23Was it ghastly?
21:24I didn't know where to look.
21:26But when I thought about it afterwards, it seemed unfair to punish me like that.
21:29Suppose I was a working woman with eight children and I didn't want any more.
21:33Wouldn't I have the right?
21:34I agree completely.
21:35I feel like going back tomorrow and ordering a baker's dozen.
21:37One's enough for now.
21:41Mr. Bricker.
21:43This is wonderfully kind of you.
21:44You can see the painting now or after dinner or wait until tomorrow.
21:48It's entirely up to you.
21:49I think I'd like a glimpse of it later this evening.
21:51Then I can take a proper look in the daylight when I have my wits about it.
21:54You look as if you've spent the winter away from these shores.
21:57I've been in Alexandria.
21:58Really?
21:58I don't envy you.
22:00I'm not very good at abroad.
22:02She's in the kitchen.
22:02I can't swear to what room she's in, but she was giving a lesson to Daisy and she's still here.
22:08Well, shouldn't we invite her to dinner if she's your friend?
22:11I don't think Lord Grantham would like it.
22:13Not after last time.
22:15It seems terribly grand and unfriendly not to.
22:18I'll ask Cora.
22:21How are you?
22:22I haven't seen you for ages.
22:24Have I neglected you?
22:25I'm sorry.
22:27No need to apologise.
22:28Although I think you might perhaps have told me I was not the lucky winner.
22:31Why would you say that?
22:32Because it's perfectly obvious.
22:34Well, I don't seem to have broken your heart.
22:37You sound disappointed.
22:40Who is this fellow, anyway?
22:42Simon Bricker.
22:43Just a chap I know.
22:45He was talking about his book in Boodles.
22:46I mentioned the painting here and that was it.
22:48He's very brown.
22:49Lucky chap.
22:53Charles, I'm sorry if I've hurt you.
22:56It's just only lately that I've started to come out of the mist.
23:00And the mist is clearing around the lithe and supple figure of Tony Gillingham.
23:04Maybe.
23:07Well, good luck to you both.
23:09I mean it.
23:11That's why I came here.
23:12So I could wish you luck in person.
23:15Of course, I think you're absolutely right.
23:17We should give her the option.
23:18If you're certain.
23:19I don't want to feel like I'm imposing.
23:21Don't be silly.
23:21This is your home.
23:25Where's Tom going?
23:26Miss Bunting is downstairs.
23:27What?
23:28She's been teaching one of the mates in the kitchen.
23:30Tom's going to ask if she'd like some dinner.
23:32God in heaven, you're not serious.
23:33She's the first friend Tom's made that has nothing to do with us, and we must respect that.
23:37So every time we entertain, we must invite this tinpot Rosa Luxemburg.
23:41Who's she?
23:43A German communist who was shot and thrown in the canal.
23:45We wouldn't wish that on Miss Bunting.
23:48Hmm.
23:50I must have been mad.
23:50I didn't see the time.
23:51I've left Mrs. Patmore cooking dinner for everyone.
23:53You can tell her from me.
23:54You'll prove a talented mathematician.
23:59Whose idea was it to ask me?
24:01Yours?
24:01No, it was Rose.
24:03Although it's a new sensation for me, not to be alone in my opinions at the table.
24:06If I've encouraged you to stand your ground, I'm glad.
24:09But I don't feel like putting either myself or Lord Grantham through another test of strength tonight.
24:15Please thank them and say goodnight for me.
24:20I don't need a car.
24:21I'm perfectly happy to walk.
24:23When in Rome?
24:25But you ever think you might have been in Rome too long?
24:27Why do you say that?
24:29Well, you needn't always do as the Romans do.
24:31There's more in you than that.
24:33I wonder.
24:35You could do anything you want if you put your mind to it.
24:40I can't deny it.
24:42It's good to hear you talk as if I had a real future.
24:44You do have a future, but not here.
24:47Not with these people.
24:48Of course you're linked to them, Miss Sybil, but from the way you talk, I think she was unique in
24:52this family.
24:53Free of prejudice.
24:54Free from narrow thinking.
24:55That's true enough.
24:56She was unique.
24:58All I'm asking is for you to remember that you were the man who tempted her over the park wall
25:02to run away to freedom.
25:04I was that man.
25:06But I'm not sure I can be that man again.
25:08You can be.
25:09I know it.
25:11Good night.
25:17Good night.
25:23Where's your friend?
25:24She couldn't stay.
25:25She had to get home.
25:26What a relief.
25:31What were you doing in Alexandria?
25:34Escaping in winter and looking at beautiful things.
25:37Beautiful and very ancient things.
25:39I don't agree.
25:40So you're collecting clothes for the Russian refugees?
25:43I said no at first because, well, it didn't feel terribly me.
25:46But then I thought about them leading their lives before the fall.
25:50Doing everything you would do.
25:51Exactly.
25:52Dancing and shopping and seeing their friends.
25:54And then suddenly being thrown out to fend for themselves in the jungle.
25:58When I thought I had to help if I could.
26:00It's lucky Miss Bunting refused our invitation.
26:03Or she'd give us a lecture on how they're aristocrats and so they deserve it.
26:06She believes the old regime in Russia was an unjust one.
26:09She hopes the new system will be an improvement.
26:11Does that make her a firebrand?
26:12Because I agree with her.
26:13And you don't think certain acts of savagery forfeit any sympathy for the perpetrators?
26:17It was terrible, of course.
26:20But the English killed King Charles I to create a balance between the throne and Parliament.
26:24I didn't kill him personally.
26:26I didn't shoot the Imperial family.
26:29Goodness.
26:30Is this what they call a lively exchange of views?
26:33It's about now that Pa usually fetches his gun.
26:36Larry, don't tease Mr. Bricker.
26:38He's come north to see a painting and he finds himself caught in the middle of the Civil War.
26:42I don't think we'll split tonight.
26:43We'll only fight if we do.
26:45Mr. Bricker wants to see the picture and I'm sure any delay is torment.
26:47You read my mind.
26:51Carson, how are we to move forward with the memorial?
26:54I suppose your position has not changed.
26:56I can see that I am losing.
26:58I would rather be convinced than defeat it, my lord, and I am not yet convinced.
27:04Cousin Robert, did you see that the King is going to speak on the wireless?
27:08It was in the paper today.
27:09Don't be silly.
27:09No, it's true.
27:11For the opening of the British Empire exhibition.
27:12It's being broadcast on the 23rd.
27:15I just thought you'd like to know.
27:16Is this true, Carson?
27:17I believe so, my lord.
27:19Talking about the Empire, too.
27:20I wonder.
27:22If the King wants to use the wireless to speak to his people, maybe we have to listen.
27:26I wouldn't say that, my lord.
27:28Is it not a case of the King being forced into accepting a humiliating assignment by his ministers?
27:33Are you saying the King is a weak man, Carson?
27:35Never that, my lord.
27:36But even kings must bow to pressure sometimes.
27:40And should we not support him in his hour of endurance?
27:43Oh, cheer up.
27:44We can always hire one.
27:46Surely we won't be corrupted if it's only in the house for a day.
27:57They said you were out here.
28:01I thought I'd get some air before we have our dinner.
28:04I've let you down, haven't I?
28:07No, I wouldn't say so.
28:10You are who you are.
28:13You made choices and you've paid the price for them.
28:16Still, I'm not who you thought me.
28:19It is not for me to pass sentence.
28:22You've had enough of that.
28:24I've changed.
28:25I'm different now.
28:28I wish you could believe me.
28:30But you won't tell me why you did it.
28:32Because I am not persuaded you can have acted on your own.
28:37Maybe not.
28:39But I don't want to talk about that.
28:41Because alone or not, in the end, I made the choice to steal.
28:47There's no point trying to pass the sin along.
28:50And you won't allow me an opinion?
28:52You see, you wouldn't have done it, no matter who asked you to.
28:55No matter what the provocation.
28:58I don't claim that.
29:00If a man must watch his loved one starve, who's to say what he'll do?
29:04But I wasn't starving, was I?
29:07Believe me.
29:12I'd give a limb to rewrite that whole chapter of my life.
29:17But I can't, Mr. Molesley.
29:21Even for you.
29:25I can't.
29:36Do you have a clear record of how it came to be here?
29:38The second earl was our collector.
29:41He bought it when he was quite a young man and on his grand tour.
29:44Which was when?
29:451789.
29:47We have a letter from his mother.
29:48She's just heard about the fall of the Bastille and her son was on his way through France.
29:51She was so desperate to get him home, she sent it by a special messenger.
29:55Mothers.
29:55Some things never change.
29:58Lots of things never change.
30:03Tomorrow I can show you some of the other pictures he brought back if you've time before you go.
30:07I have all the time in the world.
30:08I should enjoy it very much.
30:10There's coffee in the drawing room.
30:13We'll be right in.
30:15Isis, come here, girl.
30:19I can't believe it.
30:21When she explained it to me, how it all worked, I could see it at once.
30:24Well, this is our lady of the numbers.
30:26If I'd had a teacher like her when I were at school, things might have turned out very different.
30:30Well, they've not turned out so badly, have they?
30:32I'm glad to see some smiles at the end of a long day.
30:35Daisy's singing the praises of Miss Bunting and her teaching.
30:39I should keep it to yourself.
30:40She's not a favourite with Mr Carson.
30:42Why? What's she done?
30:43It's not what she's done.
30:44It's what he calls her dangerous ideas.
30:47Dangerous or not, I'm sure they're good ideas.
30:49Careful, he'll think you've been infected.
30:51What's this?
30:53Daisy's worried she's been infected with a cold from the delivery boy.
31:00Oh, here's Lordship and I walking down to the village tomorrow to look at possible sites.
31:07Um, I don't like it when we're not on the same side.
31:12We're different people, Mr Carson.
31:14We can't always agree.
31:15I know.
31:17But I don't like it.
31:23I can't make a decision, Baxter, until you tell me the whole truth.
31:27I have, my lady.
31:28I don't mean you've tried to shield yourself quite the contrary, but I haven't yet heard the whole story.
31:34To be honest, Baxter, I don't know why I haven't dismissed you out of hand.
31:37I employ a jewel thief to look after my jewels. It doesn't make any sense.
31:41I don't know what else to say.
31:42And if I don't sack you for your criminal record, I should sack you for concealing it.
31:46Should I take this as my dismissal?
31:48I don't know. I don't know why not. But I don't know.
31:56What was the matter with Tom?
31:57Papa will blame his friend, Miss Bunting, for filling his ears with poison.
32:01But I'm not sure.
32:02He has so little life away from us.
32:04He's had no life since...
32:10Is that a bad thing?
32:11For us, maybe. But not for him.
32:14I'm going up.
32:15Good night, you two.
32:18Do you think there's any chance Cousin Robert really might get a wireless?
32:21Well, if you won't get one for the king, your cause is hopeless.
32:25That's true.
32:29I loved Rose's definition of ordinary life. Dancing and shopping and seeing one's friends.
32:36I'm going to bed, too. I'm worn out.
32:40But I hope you'll be happy for me, if it is Tony in the end.
32:49Nothing will make me happier than seeing you happy.
32:52But please be absolutely sure before you decide.
32:55Why do you say that?
32:56Because you're cleverer than he is.
32:58That might have worked in the last century, when ladies had to hide their brains behind good manners and good
33:02breeding.
33:02But not now.
33:03I don't agree. I think Tony is quite as clever as I am.
33:07Then one of us is right.
33:09Then one is wrong.
33:10You're not being fair.
33:11I'm not some overheated housemaid drooling over a photograph of Douglas Fairbanks.
33:16Plantagenets are as susceptible as housemaids when it comes to sex.
33:20Are we talking about sex? Or love?
33:22That is a question that mankind has been wrestling with since the dawn of time.
33:26Good night.
33:32Poor Tom.
33:33He's nothing more than a ventriloquist dummy for that terrible woman's ideas to come spewing out of his mouth.
33:39Maybe she's given him confidence to say what he really thinks.
33:42Not to sit there in silence listening to a thousand things he disagrees with.
33:45She'll steal him away from us. I can feel it. She's pulling him back to the other side.
33:48I hope not.
33:50But if he feels he has to go, that's what he must do.
33:53Well, he's not taking Sibby.
33:54Don't be silly.
33:56I mean it.
33:57I am not having Sibyl's only child snatched from everyone she loves to be brought up by some harpy in
34:03an American sewer.
34:04If the time comes, then we will talk to Tom.
34:07And I suggest we try to be a little more calm about it.
34:10For heaven's sake.
34:11Can't I be angry when our eldest grandchild is about to be stolen from us forever?
34:17And tell your friend Bricker to stop flirting with Isis.
34:20There is nothing more ill-bred than trying to steal the affections of someone else's dog.
34:25Very well, I'll tell him.
34:27To start flirting.
34:31I think I've put everything in.
34:33Your packet's here, milady.
34:36I don't think there's anything too difficult to fasten.
34:39Lord Gillingham can always help.
34:42For the last time, are you certain you know what you're doing?
34:44I believe so.
34:50Anna, the way things are going, life will be lived in much closer quarters in future.
34:56My grandparents lived in vast rooms, surrounded by staff.
35:00If they disagreed, they'd hardly have known it.
35:03But it won't be like that for us.
35:06I must be sure I'm right to want this man.
35:09As my friend, as my lover, as my husband.
35:16Well, I think it's a big risk.
35:18Please.
35:19I can't be lectured twice in one evening.
35:22I've already had a ticking off from Mr Blake.
35:24You didn't tell him.
35:25Only that I thought Lord Gillingham was the one.
35:29The point is, I want to marry again.
35:31And I absolutely don't want to divorce.
35:36Well, I wish you luck, my lady.
35:46There you are.
35:52I'm afraid it's the person...
35:57And we'll remember them with a stone cross for women to stop by and gossip.
36:01I prefer to say that as people go about their business, we remind them of the men who died.
36:06They gave their lives for our freedom and we'll remember them with a convenient step to sit for a moment
36:12and tie up your shoelace.
36:15Afternoon, my lord.
36:17Hello, Mrs Elkiff.
36:18What are you up to?
36:19I'm just waiting for our Robbie.
36:21He likes to say hello to his father sometimes after school.
36:24It's good of you to make a special journey.
36:26Oh, no.
36:27He comes with me when I'm on the way to the shop or the post office and takes a chance
36:31to visit the grave then.
36:33My Bob was a lovely man and a wonderful dad and I don't want our Robbie to forget him.
36:38Not if I can help it.
36:40No.
36:41No, of course you don't.
36:43Thank you, Mrs Elkiff.
36:44Your words have made quite an impression on me.
36:47Don't you agree, Carson?
36:48I do, yes.
36:50Quite an impression.
36:53My lord.
37:01Why is it called a wireless when there's so many wires?
37:05I don't know.
37:18Nothing's happening.
37:19It's just warming up, my lady.
37:27All set.
37:28Wait a minute.
37:29Is that Jack Hilton?
37:32Oh, God, he's thrilling.
37:36What's this I see?
37:37Servants loitering in the hall with her ladyship due at any moment?
37:41Look at that.
37:42If I touch it, will I get a shock?
37:44You'll only get a shock if you listen to it.
37:47I think it's exciting.
37:48We're catching up, Mr Carson.
37:50Whether you like it or not, Downton is catching up with the times we live in.
37:53That is exactly what I am afraid of.
38:08Oh, hello.
38:14But before I go, I hope we're all united in the plan.
38:17It's very kind of you, milady, isn't it, Margie?
38:20Very kind.
38:22I just want every opportunity for little Marigold.
38:25As I say, it's very generous.
38:26And you won't mind my being part of her life.
38:30She needs a chance to dream.
38:32You must be careful not to fill her head with too many dreams, milady.
38:36This is a wonderful opportunity you're offering, thank you.
38:39I'll see you soon.
38:44Bye-bye.
38:46Bye.
38:48Bye.
38:54What's the matter?
38:55Why should anything be the matter?
38:57You could have been more gracious.
38:59I don't want this place to be a doll's house.
39:01A Marigold, her doll.
39:02To be kissed and petted, then cast aside when she loses interest.
39:06You won't lose interest.
39:07How can you be sure?
39:07I am sure.
39:10I'll be in the yard.
39:12Tell me when the food's ready.
39:13Hands, hands, please.
39:14It gives me the greatest pleasure and satisfaction
39:19to come here today with the Queen
39:23for the purpose of opening the British Empire Exhibition.
39:28I suppose he can't aim us.
39:31No, it doesn't work like that.
39:32The Board of Management
39:42Miss Mary Crawley.
39:45Welcome to Liverpool, Miss Crawley.
39:47I hope you enjoy your stay.
39:48I'm sure I will.
40:12Well, you have heard the voice of His Majesty King George V.
40:16What do you think, Carson?
40:17Mrs. Hughes, the king on the wireless.
40:20I prefer to think of him on his throne, my lord.
40:23To me, it's a good thing
40:24to make him less of a myth, more of a man.
40:26Well, I hope you've all taken something of value from it.
40:31Mrs. Hughes is right.
40:33The radio somehow makes the king more real.
40:37Well, is it a good thing?
40:39The monarchy has thrived on magic and mystery.
40:42Strip them away and people may think
40:44the royal family is just like us.
40:46What would that be so wrong?
40:48Well, only if they want to stay at Buckingham Palace.
40:52I can't believe it's right here in the room with us.
40:58Cheers, Mr. Barrow.
41:03Weren't you pleased to hear the king?
41:07I expect it's difficult for you with Jimmy gone.
41:10We all need a special friend from time to time.
41:13I wasn't special to him.
41:14Not truly.
41:16I don't agree.
41:17I think he liked you.
41:19Maybe.
41:20A little.
41:21I don't think I'm very likeable to people here.
41:24Do you want to be?
41:25There are times when I'd like to belong.
41:30Does that sound funny?
41:32Not to me.
41:33Not at all.
41:46Shall I have it collected in the morning, my lord?
41:49Must he?
41:49Do we need to get rid of it in quite such a hurry now it's here?
41:52Put it in the small library.
41:54Thank you for changing your mind.
41:55I wasn't aware I'd decided against it.
41:58Well, you can do.
42:00It's such a pity Mary had to miss it for a boring sketching trip.
42:20It's mad not to give a false name.
42:22Always make a lie as truthful as possible.
42:26If you're seen, you have the right name, you're alone in your room.
42:29Why shouldn't you be in Liverpool?
42:34How did you manage to get the rooms connected?
42:37Well, I'm not a complete half-win.
42:40Nor, happily, is the manager.
42:44So, what's the plan?
42:46It's a simple one.
42:48We'll go down to Church Street for a scrumptious dinner.
42:51After which, we'll come back.
42:54And make love.
42:56Exactly.
42:58We'll make love all night.
42:59And, in fact, for as long as either of us has any stamina left.
43:04And who can say fairer than that?
43:14I meant to ask how you got on this morning.
43:17Oh, we've settled it.
43:19It's going to be in the village.
43:21I hope you're not too upset.
43:24I only ask to be convinced.
43:26My walk through the village convinced me.
43:29And there's a bonus.
43:31What's that?
43:32It puts us back in agreement, Mrs Hughes.
43:35I'm not comfortable when you and I are not in agreement.
43:40You're very flattering.
43:41You talk like that, you make me want to check the looking glass to see that my hair's tidy.
43:45Get away with you.
43:47You know what I mean?
43:51There's a policeman to see you, Mr Carson.
43:54A policeman?
43:54It's just Sergeant Willis, Mr Carson.
43:57Hello, Mr Willis.
43:59Thank you, Mr Barrow.
44:00Your scaremongering has not succeeded.
44:02That will be all.
44:04Sit down, Mr Willis.
44:05Have a cup of tea.
44:07How can I help you?
44:09Well, it's an odd business, but we may as well get down to it.
44:13A man stayed here last year.
44:15A Mr Alex Green.
44:16Worked for Lord Gillingham.
44:17I remember him well.
44:19Why wouldn't I when he died so very tragically not long after?
44:22Oh, that's all I need.
44:23I've just been told to check that you remember him.
44:25Oh, thank you.
44:26And to give warning that we might need to ask some questions.
44:30I don't understand.
44:31Well, something's turned up.
44:34And before they take it further, they're trying to establish its significance.
44:37But what is that?
44:40What's turned up?
44:41A witness.
44:43A witness.
44:43A witness.
44:46A witness.
44:48A witness.
44:49A witness.
