00:28I don't want to disturb
00:29you. Don't be silly, you couldn't disturb me.
00:32Thank you, Baxter.
00:38I wouldn't have bothered you.
00:39You should stop talking like that and move back
00:41in. I only came to tell you, Edith's
00:43about to receive some very bad news.
00:45What? How do you know? Hereditor's on his way to
00:47see her this afternoon. I'm afraid it's what we've been
00:49waiting for. However much you
00:51expect it. It's still painful when it arrives.
00:57And you don't think it's good news?
00:59If it were, he'd have telephoned.
01:01When you see Madge, you'd better warn her.
01:03Are you all set for tomorrow? What is?
01:05I'm going to see the cottage again. After that,
01:07I've got to make up my mind. Mrs Hughes
01:09is coming with me. I'll leave you to it.
01:13What's it like, this cottage?
01:15I don't know. You can ask
01:17me after tomorrow.
01:19Unless you want to come with us.
01:21She wouldn't want me.
01:22You know that's not true. It'd be good
01:25to bury the memorial business.
01:27See what she says, but don't
01:29force her.
01:31Well, of course it's terrible.
01:32But what did she think he was doing?
01:34Living in a tree?
01:35You mustn't make jokes, my lady.
01:37Only in here.
01:38I'll be as solemn as a church when I go down.
01:41No, I am sorry. Truly.
01:43He was a nice man.
01:44Though what he saw in Edith...
01:48Goodness.
01:49The York and Aynstie are holding a point-to-point
01:50at Canningford Grange on Saturday.
01:53And Mr Blake has persuaded Lord Gillingham
01:55they should ride in it.
01:56I thought you had to follow the hunt to be eligible.
01:58They've both been out with the York and Aynstie.
02:00I'm sure they've wangled it.
02:01I might join them.
02:02The lady's allowed to race with the gentleman.
02:04They changed it just before the war.
02:06Papa thinks it terribly fast.
02:08Do they want to stay at Downton?
02:09Mr Blake and Lord Gillingham?
02:11They want to meet at Canningford
02:12and then come here that night.
02:14Golly.
02:15Why would his lordship come to Downton
02:16after you've broken it off?
02:18Because he still won't accept that I know my own mind.
02:21Anna, do you think I'm looking rather frumpy?
02:24Certainly not, my lady.
02:26I'm tempted to remind them of what they're missing.
02:29You'd never be that heartless.
02:33Well, Shrimpy says he's narrowing the list of possibilities
02:37and he thinks he'll track her down before long.
02:40Are you going to tell the prince?
02:42I think I should, don't you?
02:44Would you like me to come?
02:46No, I'll go alone this time.
02:50Oh, I'm ever so sorry, my lady.
02:53I didn't know you had company.
02:55This is Mrs Crawley, my cousin.
02:57You'll find she's a frequent visitor.
02:59Good day, madam.
03:00Hello.
03:01Denker is my new maid.
03:02She's trying to find her way around.
03:04Did you have a question, Denker?
03:06It can wait, my lady.
03:08Well, I was going to ask you about the luggage and which cases you prefer when you travel.
03:13Why, I don't travel much these days.
03:16Why don't you ask Spratt?
03:17He'll help you.
03:18Oh, he'll help me, will he?
03:20That's good to know.
03:22If you'll excuse me.
03:27Honestly, Mr Barrow, you should take some time off and have a rest.
03:30You look dreadful.
03:31I'm perfectly fine, thank you.
03:33I've never felt better.
03:34You've never looked worse.
03:35Since you are indifferent to my opinions, Mr Bates, it's only fitting I am indifferent to yours.
03:39I'll just nip into the cottage.
03:41I've left my button box there.
03:42Oh, that's Lady Miriana.
03:44She must want something before lunch.
03:46You go on.
03:47I'll fetch it.
03:48Would you?
03:55Do we know when he'll get here?
03:57Lady this afternoon.
04:01I should have some drawings for you all to look at before too long.
04:04What sort of drawings?
04:05Ideas for how we could renovate the rundown houses in the village.
04:08Well, why is there such a building, Spratt?
04:10Because the war showed how half the population were very badly housed.
04:13They were shocked by how unhealthy some of the new recruits were.
04:16You cannot expect to get an A1 population out of C3 homes.
04:20Who said that?
04:21I think it was on a poster.
04:23I heard from Charles today.
04:25He and Tony are competing in the point-to-point at Canningford on Saturday.
04:28Atticus was talking about that.
04:29Atticus?
04:30Atticus Aldridge, the chap I met in York.
04:32Has he become a friend?
04:34Yes, he has, rather.
04:36His parents, the Cinderbees, have bought Canningford Grange.
04:38And now they're wooing the county.
04:39Lord Cinderbees is rich, isn't he?
04:41Who'd take it on if they weren't?
04:42Well, why don't we all go and make a day of it?
04:44Yes, we could ask Granny and Isabel and take the children.
04:48Shall I tell Charles they can stay here?
04:50Of course, if you want them to.
04:56When this fellow arrives, it would be nice if you could leave Edith and me to see him on our
04:59own.
05:31This must be it.
05:34Really, my lady, you do surprise me.
05:38I hope your standards are not so high as to prevent you remaining in my employment, Dinka.
05:44No, not at all.
05:46Not as high as that, my lady.
05:49Where's the...
05:51Where's the knopper?
05:58You stay here.
06:14I've shown him into the drawing room, but I'm afraid it is as we feared.
06:19Oh, I am sorry.
06:20His lordship's with them now.
06:22He's here then?
06:23Yes, and it's not looking hopeful.
06:26Oh, dear.
06:27Mrs. Hughes says you want to come with us tomorrow.
06:30Only if you wouldn't mind.
06:31This is the olive branch, I suppose.
06:33If it's too much trouble...
06:35No.
06:36You can buy the tea.
06:42Mr. Carson wants to see the cottage.
06:45He wants you to forgive him.
06:47Why don't you come, too?
06:48I've got work to do.
06:49You seem to be working harder than when Miss Bunting was around.
06:53I am working harder.
06:54I'm determined not to let her down.
06:58Some tea?
07:00I can just about make tea.
07:04How did you find me?
07:07Rose gave me your address.
07:08And you came alone to this part of the city?
07:11I was accompanied by my maid.
07:13She's waiting outside.
07:15How wonderful to be back in the world.
07:18Where ladies are accompanied by their maids.
07:24Why didn't your son provide you with a car?
07:26Oh, he would have done.
07:28I just didn't choose to tell him where I was going.
07:32It is not our first secret designation.
07:37I always feel more comfortable leaving the past in the past.
07:44Then why have you come?
07:46Because Rose's father, Lord Flincher,
07:49thinks he's close to finding the princess.
07:54She's alive then?
07:55She was alive when she left Russia, that they know.
07:59They think she was put on a boat headed for Hong Kong.
08:02You'll know more soon.
08:14I wanted you for the moment I first saw you.
08:19More than mortal men have a wanted woman.
08:22That is an historical detail.
08:25Nonsense.
08:27If Irina were dead,
08:29I would ask you to run away with me now.
08:31You can't run away.
08:33When there's no one left to run away from.
08:37I loved you more than I loved her.
08:41Even today.
08:48Not.
08:49If it's true.
08:51Because you make it sound as if we were both unhappy.
08:54And I don't believe you were, and I certainly was not.
08:58You wouldn't admit it if it were true.
09:01You think to be unhappy in a marriage is ill-bred.
09:09You do know me, Igor.
09:13That I must concede.
09:17Yes.
09:24Who was that?
09:25Sergeant Willis.
09:29He wants to come back with that man from Scotland Yard.
09:32I don't like the sound of it.
09:34Is it to see Mr Bates again?
09:35That's the funny thing.
09:36He wants to see Miss Baxter this time.
09:39Miss Baxter?
09:40What's she got to say about it?
09:42Search me.
09:43When are they coming?
09:44Tomorrow morning.
09:46I hope they don't stay all day, or we'll miss our appointment.
09:55He's gone.
09:56Didn't you want some tea?
09:57I offered him tea, dinner, and a bed for the night, but he had to get back.
10:01Gregson's dead, I'm afraid.
10:05How terrible that is to hear.
10:08And was it this Herr Hitler?
10:10Apparently.
10:11Or at least, his gang of thugs.
10:14During the so-called beer-killer putsch in Munich.
10:17It took days for the police to get the city back under control, and by then, any trace
10:21of Gregson was buried.
10:22They found him now, of course.
10:24Or what's left of him.
10:25It's too horrible to think about.
10:28At least they've locked Hitler up for five long years.
10:30Coombs says he won't serve five years, or anything like it.
10:35There's another thing.
10:38Edith inherits Gregson's publishing company.
10:41I think I expected that.
10:42I hope somehow it helps her get through this.
10:44It was very generous of him.
10:46I suppose they loved each other.
10:48Oh, poor Edith.
10:50How is she taking it?
10:51Hard to say.
10:53It wasn't a surprise, of course.
10:55But there's always a shred of hope, isn't there?
10:57Should I go and see her?
10:57She's gone for a walk.
11:00She wanted to be on her own.
11:12I'm sorry, my lady.
11:13I'm afraid it's not convenient just now.
11:15I only want a moment.
11:16As I said, it's not convenient.
11:18What's left?
11:19I don't want her to come in.
11:20Well, there's no need to be rude.
11:22Of course not.
11:23Well, she's not coming in, and that's flat.
11:29I'm trying to bring her around, but I wish she hadn't jumped the gun.
11:32I know, but I had some bad news today, and I needed to see her.
11:37You mean you were right about Marigold's father?
11:42I'm very sorry to hear it, but if you could just give me some time.
11:45I don't have time, Mr. Drew.
11:49Of course.
11:50I'm sorry, but let's face it, he's been dead for over a year.
11:54That's when he went missing.
11:55Yes, but he didn't die for Lady Edith until this afternoon.
11:58That's what matters, isn't it?
11:59I suppose so.
12:01What are you studying now, Daisy?
12:02The War of the Spanish Succession.
12:05Oh!
12:06As a matter of fact, I'm very...
12:09Very what, Mr. Molesley?
12:13Oh, never mind.
12:20I'm sorry to disturb you, Ladyship.
12:22What is it, Sprout?
12:23We are having rather a problem with Miss Denker.
12:26She does not seem to grasp the laundry arrangements here.
12:29She wants it all to go to the big house, even the smaller items.
12:34You're losing your sense of the appropriate, Sprout.
12:37You're losing your sense of occasion.
12:38But she's back there in the kitchen now, shouting at the top of her voice.
12:42I'm refusing to wash your...
12:44Dins!
12:45Well, I'm sure this is all very interesting to Mrs. Crawley.
12:49I'm sorry, milady, but I can't help it.
12:51May I send her in?
12:54I do apologise.
12:56Oh, don't.
12:56I'm enjoying it immensely.
12:57Oh, that's what I was afraid of.
12:59Are you going to the picnic at Canningford Grange on Saturday?
13:03Well, I think I might.
13:04Oh, I'm glad, because...
13:06No, never mind.
13:07What were you going to say?
13:09Only that I've asked Lord Merton to tea tomorrow.
13:12Have you decided at last?
13:15Yes, I think so.
13:16But please don't pester me.
13:18I'll let you know on Saturday.
13:21I'm having rather a problem with Mr. Sprout, milady.
13:24I do not know if Miss Collins pandered to him,
13:27but he seems to have no knowledge of the proper role of a lady's maid.
13:31Well, we all pander to Sprout in this house, Dinker.
13:35He rules us with a rod of iron.
13:37All except me, milady.
13:38But I see you have company, so we'll discuss this at some other time.
13:44And you wonder why I have neither lady's maid nor butler.
13:53When I've done these, I might go back to the cottage and read until our dinner.
13:57Mad says Lady Edith is dreadfully cut up,
14:00and it's extra hard because he was killed so long ago.
14:04I suppose she can't expect the whole household to go into mourning
14:07when he was no relation and he's been dead for so long.
14:13Will you please tell me what is the matter?
14:16I couldn't find your button box.
14:18I'd forgotten all about it.
14:19Oh, well, never mind. It'll turn up.
14:21I did look.
14:23I'm sure you did.
14:24I looked in all the cupboards, and I found some other things.
14:27Oh, yes?
14:28Yes.
14:29I found a book by Mary Stokes.
14:32And a box containing a cunning piece of equipment
14:36to ensure there would be no baby bits.
14:40And I'm supposed to applaud your poking around in my things, am I?
14:43Now, just a minute.
14:43Dad, it is not for you to be angry with me.
14:46It is for me to be angry with you.
14:47How do you make that out?
14:48You tell me you are longing for a child.
14:52That it's in the hands of God.
14:54But you seem to have put it in the very practiced hands of Miss Stopes.
14:58You're wrong.
14:59It's not like that.
15:00Then what is it like?
15:01Come in, Lily.
15:03I'll leave these on the table for you.
15:07Oh, Daisy, there you are.
15:08I wondered if you'd like to borrow this.
15:10What is it?
15:11The fifth volume of the Cambridge Modern History.
15:13My dad gave me the whole set for my 40th birthday.
15:16I don't know.
15:16I've got so many books already.
15:18Don't be churlish, Daisy.
15:19Mr Mosey's offering to lend you one of his prized possessions.
15:22There's a good chapter on the war and politics and Queen Anne's reign.
15:26Of course, if it's not interesting to you, I'd quite understand.
15:29No, I will look at it.
15:35He's very kind, you know.
15:36We should always be polite to people who are kind.
15:40There's not much of it about...
15:46What have you told Bates?
15:48Nothing.
15:49And he hasn't asked why you're sleeping in here?
15:51Certainly not.
15:52I wondered if he might like to change your mind and come back.
15:58You heard Mr Brecker say he was not in my room by my invitation.
16:02How do I know that wasn't just his gallantry?
16:04Because I'm telling you.
16:06Nothing happened.
16:08I'll tell you what did happen.
16:10You allowed him into your private life.
16:12A man who thought he could step into my place just like that.
16:15He thought it.
16:17And he was mistaken.
16:20And...
16:24Very well.
16:26If you can honestly say you have never let a flirtation get out of hand since we married.
16:30If you have never given a woman the wrong impression, then by all means, stay away.
16:34Otherwise, I expect you back in my room tonight.
16:55But why me?
16:56What have I got to do with it?
16:57So I wasn't even working here when Mr Green first came.
16:59That's right.
17:00She only came...
17:00Thank you, Mrs Hughes.
17:02Even so, we understand you have some information concerning Mr and Mrs Bates.
17:06What information?
17:07That's what we hope you'll tell us.
17:09I want to talk about your past, Miss Baxter.
17:11Would you prefer we were alone?
17:12I don't think I can allow you to question a maid in this house without my being present.
17:16Miss Baxter?
17:18Let her stay.
17:20Very well.
17:21When you served your prison sentence for theft...
17:23What?
17:24They released you after three years, leaving the remaining two years to lie on the books.
17:27Yes.
17:28You know that if you break the terms of your release, we can return you to prison without a trial.
17:32That seems very...
17:33Mrs Hughes, one more interruption, and I will ask you to leave.
17:37You think I know more than I do.
17:39I believe there was an incident when Mr Green was staying here.
17:44And there may have been a journey to London that no one knew about, but I couldn't swear to any
17:49of it.
17:50Not even whether it was Mr Bates who made the journey.
17:53Not even that.
17:56Thanks for your help, Miss Baxter.
17:59Who told you I knew anything?
18:02We had a letter.
18:03From whom?
18:04Good day, Mrs Hughes.
18:08I am going to ask one question.
18:14Does her ladyship know your story?
18:16Yes.
18:18She knows everything.
18:21Then we'll say no more about it.
18:28Come and see these.
18:30Oh, yes.
18:31This is just the kind of work we're looking for, isn't it?
18:33I knew you'd say that.
18:35Why?
18:35They'd cost the most.
18:36What about these designs?
18:37They'd be much cheaper.
18:38Much nastier.
18:40But a lot of the renovated cottages would be occupied by lifetime tenants.
18:43We'd have no real income from them for 20 years.
18:45So instead of Mr Wavell's horrid houses, we'll make our own?
18:47Tom's just trying to protect the estate.
18:49What's the matter, darling?
18:51She's terribly listless.
18:52I wonder if she's picked up a germ.
18:54Oh, she'd have eaten a dead squirrel or something equally fell.
18:57She's quite fat.
18:58Perhaps she's pregnant.
18:59No, she can't be.
19:00So what do we say about these drawings?
19:02I suppose we should go for the cheaper option, but it's a shame.
19:06Anyway, I must fly.
19:07I've got an appointment in New York in an hour.
19:10Mrs Hughes, have you seen Miss Baxter?
19:12It's not like you to seek Miss Baxter's company.
19:14I'm serious, Mrs Hughes.
19:16It's all right.
19:16I heard.
19:17Can I talk with you, please?
19:26Come in here.
19:46I'm sorry about this.
19:49Go on.
19:50I can take it.
19:55God in heaven.
19:58I thought it would pass, but it just keeps getting worse.
20:02Go to sleep.
20:03I'm not surprised.
20:05Help me.
20:08You're always asking if I need help.
20:10Well, now's your chance.
20:13I don't know what to do.
20:15We're going to the doctor.
20:17Now.
20:18And we'll show him the syringe and the liquid you've injected, all the pills you've been taking, all of it.
20:24Follow me down in five minutes and we'll meet by the back door and bring everything with you.
20:29Do you understand?
20:35I've done something that I shouldn't have.
20:38And if you knew what it was, you wouldn't want to be part of this.
20:41I know what it was.
20:44I'll come down in five minutes.
20:54It is wonderful on you, my lady.
20:56I hope so.
20:58My father will explode.
21:00Me.
21:00Super.
21:06You've made me feel very strong.
21:09Does this cover it?
21:11My lady is very generous.
21:18At least you can carry it off.
21:20Most of them look like bald monkeys.
21:26Hold on.
21:28And it won't trouble him further?
21:31As long as he stops poisoning himself.
21:33You've had a look at the things he brought then?
21:37You've been injecting yourself with a solution of saline.
21:41That's not harmful though, is it?
21:42Obviously wasn't sterilised.
21:44Repeated injections would cause fever and abscesses at the site.
21:49I assume this is a course of treatment you've spent money on?
21:52Yes.
21:53A lot of money.
21:54I went to London for what they call electrotherapy.
21:57And the pills and injections were supposed to continue the process.
22:02The purpose of which was?
22:08To change me.
22:11To make me more like other people.
22:15Other men.
22:18I'll not be coy and pretend I don't understand.
22:21Nor do I blame you.
22:23But there is no drug, no electric shock, that will achieve what you want.
22:28You may not have been taken for a mug.
22:31My advice to you, Tonus, would be to accept the burden that chances seem fit to lay upon you.
22:37And to fashion as good a life as you're able.
22:39Remember, harsh reality is always better than false hope.
22:46Well, that'll give you a good laugh.
22:48It won't.
22:51And I don't expect you to understand, but I think it shows you to be a very brave person.
22:58What?
23:05What would you do in this world, if you just set your mind to it?
23:11You're daft, you know that.
23:17I must have known Atticus to warn him that we're all coming.
23:20Why don't you ask him for dinner tonight, if he's free?
23:22Could I?
23:23I mean, just as a friend.
23:24Oh, just as a friend, absolutely.
23:29I wish Isis would perk up.
23:32I might ask Stapley to have a look at her.
23:35It can't hurt.
23:40I think it's very nice, very solid.
23:43I hope it is solid at this price.
23:45What's the kitchen like?
23:46Oh, not quite the scale you're used to.
23:49Well, I wouldn't mind.
23:50It'd be my own.
23:52I could live here later when I stopped working.
23:55There's only one flight of stairs, so I'm sure I could manage that no matter how old I get.
23:59Oh, and outside privacy, that'll bring back memories.
24:03Well, Lord knows I've seen one of them before.
