00:30Last dune saw Emily Davison crushed to death beneath the hooves and the king's horse.
00:39Will the summer of 1914 prove as fatal for the hopes of women? It cannot!
00:47This historic by-election can be the first step of the journey to women's equality.
00:54If you're so keen on women's rights, let a woman speak.
00:58All right, stop there. Let's get the dogs up and listen to them bark.
01:05Women! Women!
01:07Are thrown and come down!
01:09You all right, Malene?
01:11A little exciting.
01:18I think it's time for Branson to take you home.
01:20Not yet.
01:21I think so. I applaud your spirit in coming and I will applaud your discretion when you leave.
01:27But you agree with everything he says.
01:28I do, my dear, but I also know if anything happens to you, Branson will lose his place.
01:34Better safe than sorry, m'lady.
01:36Oh, it's an act of policy. I disagree.
01:41But the car's just here.
01:43Women must get the vote, mustn't they, Branson?
01:46Why does the Prime Minister resist the inevitable?
01:49Politicians can't often recognise the changes that are inevitable.
01:55I hope you do go into politics.
01:57It's a fine ambition.
02:00Ambition or dream?
02:02If I do, it's not all about women and the vote for me.
02:06Nor even freedom for Ireland.
02:08It's the gap between the aristocracy and the poor and...
02:11And what?
02:14Sorry.
02:15I don't mean to speak against his lordship.
02:17Why not? You obviously don't approve of him.
02:19Not as a representative of an oppressive class.
02:23But he's a good man.
02:25And a decent employer.
02:28Spoken like a true politician.
02:33What do I look like?
02:35Could you sneak me round the back?
02:37I should hate for Papa to see me like this.
02:44Where? I'm not alive, Wiener.
02:52I'm not alive, Wiener.
02:52Mrs. Patmore is very cruel to that poor girl.
02:56Mrs. Patmore is frightened.
02:58Is she right to be?
03:00Well, Dr. Clarkson has confirmed she has catilacts.
03:04What can be done about it?
03:06There are treatments, but even the best are uncertain.
03:09She doesn't want to risk losing what sight she still has.
03:11I don't blame her.
03:14But it can't go on forever.
03:17No.
03:19Oh, dear.
03:21Have you had bad news?
03:23I shouldn't have bothered you.
03:25No, you won't, no.
03:31Oh, come on.
03:37Excuse me, m'lady.
03:38William, will you find Anna and tell her I've gone upstairs?
03:41Very good, m'lady.
03:43Oh, you clumsy clad, Harper.
03:46Sorry.
03:47You will be sorry when I finish.
03:48You look at this.
03:49Leave him alone.
03:50Anna, Lady Sybil's back from ripping.
03:51She's gone up to her room.
03:54Why does she waste her precious time on politics?
03:57Hear, hear.
03:57Now, don't you believe in rights for women, Thomas?
04:00What's it to you?
04:01Well, I know you don't believe in rights of property.
04:04I think some people might find that interesting.
04:07Who's going to tell them?
04:08You?
04:09You?
04:17Mr. Carson, are you all right?
04:20Why shouldn't I be?
04:21You've never rung the dressing gong, and Mrs. Patmore's doing a souffle for the first course.
04:25Oh, my God.
04:29Rather unlike Carson.
04:30We'd better go straight in to dinner.
04:33I shall tell Mr. Brian and Anna.
04:36Any more news of the by-election?
04:38Mr. Crawley was here earlier.
04:40He said his mother had gone to the Liberal rally in Ripon.
04:42I heard it was quite lively.
04:45I dare say the Tawneries will make the usual stink when the Tory candidates return.
04:49I'm not sure.
04:50I heard the Liberal was given a hard time today.
04:53Mr. Branson said it was getting out of hand when they left.
04:56Typical Branson to be there.
04:57I hope he squared it with Carson.
05:00Who went with him?
05:04Er, not sure anyone went with him, my lord.
05:07You just said they.
05:07Who was with him?
05:10I'd rather not say.
05:12Bates?
05:13Who was with him?
05:16Lady Sybil.
05:18Lady Sybil?
05:20Why?
05:21I should never have mentioned it, my lord.
05:22I thought you knew.
05:26No.
05:26I did not know.
05:29I gather you went to hear the Liberal candidate today.
05:32There were several speakers, actually.
05:34He was the last.
05:37Did he speak well?
05:39I thought so.
05:41But there was quite a brouhaha.
05:43You know what these things can be like.
05:45I do.
05:46Which is why I am astonished you should not feel it necessary to ask my permission to attend.
05:51I assume this was Branson's scheme.
05:53No.
05:54I confess I was amused at the idea of an Irish radical for a chauffeur, but I see now I've
05:58been naive.
05:59I told Branson to take Sybil.
06:01What are you saying?
06:02Sybil needed to go to Ripon.
06:04I asked Branson to drive her.
06:06I thought it would be sensible.
06:07In case there was trouble.
06:09I want to do some canvassing.
06:10The by-election isn't far off.
06:12Canvassing?
06:13I was quite safe.
06:14You're in a group and you knock on doors.
06:16Yes, I know what canvassing is.
06:19I think that Sybil is...
06:20What?
06:21Are you canvassing too?
06:22Or would you rather take in washing?
06:24I was only going to say that Sybil is entitled to her opinions.
06:27No.
06:28She isn't until she is married.
06:30Then her husband will tell her what her opinions are.
06:34Oh, cranny.
06:35I knew you weren't to prove.
06:36Which presumably is why you all hid your plans from me.
06:43The ladyship will have a smack bottom if she's not careful.
06:46Hurry up.
06:47I don't want anything else to go wrong tonight.
06:49Where's the sauce?
06:50Doesn't this have hollandaise?
06:51I'll get it.
06:52It won't be a different.
06:53Would you do that for me?
06:54I'd do anything for you.
07:01Does this mean you won't be presented next month?
07:04Certainly not.
07:05Why should it?
07:07Well, I doubt I'd expect to curtsy to their majesties in June
07:10when I'd been arrested as a riot in May.
07:13But then I'm old.
07:15Things may be different now.
07:16She hasn't been arrested and it wasn't a riot.
07:19But it might be next time.
07:20There will not be a next time.
07:27The ladyship's not best pleased at being told off in public.
07:30William said she was looking daggers.
07:31I'm sorry I started all this.
07:33Oh, it's not your fault.
07:34Anyway, you ought to be glad he's got a daughter who cares.
07:37The ladyship's ready to leave.
07:40We're in the car room.
07:44You're pleased with yourself?
07:50Silly chum.
07:53He's nervous.
07:54Thomas, he thinks I'm planning to tell Mr Carson about the wine.
07:58Well, he shouldn't have stolen it then, should he?
08:01No.
08:03But I don't want anyone to lose that job because of me.
08:05Even Thomas?
08:07Even after what they tried to do to you?
08:11Even then?
08:15Your ladyship, do you have a moment?
08:17Of course.
08:19I've received a letter, my lady, from a friend of mine.
08:23He's valet to the Marcus of Flincher.
08:25I don't envy him.
08:26Lord Flincher is a minister at the Foreign Office.
08:29As you know, Lady Flincher is his lordship's cousin.
08:32Oh, of course, of course.
08:33The point is, he has dealings with the Turkish ambassador.
08:38It seems His Excellency has made him privy to a scurrilous story concerning Lady Mary and the late Mr. Pamuk.
08:47May I read this letter?
09:00Is there anything you want me to do about it?
09:05No, thank you.
09:10Sometimes even to deny these things is only to throw a paraffin onto the flames.
09:14I did try to inform His Lordship.
09:17What?
09:18But I couldn't seem to find the right moment.
09:22Quite right.
09:24Please leave His Lordship to me.
09:28I'm sorry.
09:29The only sure way to get rid of a servant is to have him or her suspected of stealing.
09:33I didn't forget we've tried that and it didn't work.
09:35But last time we invented a theft.
09:37What we need to do is to make him a suspect when something's really been stolen.
09:41How do we know anything's been stolen?
09:43Because you stole it, your noodle.
09:45Oh, you mean the wine?
09:47Yeah, the wine.
09:47But that's the whole point.
09:48Bates knows I took it.
09:49He was threatening to tell Mr. Carson.
09:51Well, he can't, can he?
09:52Not if we get him first.
09:57Are you telling me you saw him take the cellar key?
10:00Not exactly, but I saw him in here and I thought the key was swinging on its hook.
10:05I just wondered if you'd notice if any of the wine was missing.
10:15I think I owe you an apology after the way I spoke at dinner.
10:20Next time you want to treat me like an oldie schoolgirl, you might do it in private, not in front
10:25of the servants.
10:26You're right.
10:26I'm sorry.
10:27Of course, I gave your mother a best evening since Christmas.
10:31Even so, we must try to keep control of Sybil.
10:35Robert, believe me, Sybil is not your problem.
10:40We've got to support Mary this year when we get to London.
10:44But it's Sybil's first season.
10:46We can't have Mary stealing her thunder.
10:48Sybil will do well enough.
10:50It's time Mary was settled.
10:53High time.
10:56Poor old Edith.
10:57We never seem to talk about her.
11:00I'm afraid Edith will be the one to care for us in our old age.
11:04What a ghastly prospect.
11:08Mama, Anna said you wanted me.
11:11Look who's paid us a visit.
11:12Sir Anthony.
11:14How nice.
11:15We all thought we'd driven you away with that horrible salty pudding.
11:19No, indeed.
11:21But I have been away.
11:22He's been in Austria and Germany.
11:25How interesting.
11:27Interesting and worrying.
11:30Sir Anthony's here to show you his new car.
11:33Oh.
11:33I've rather taken to driving myself, and I have to keep finding destinations to justify it.
11:39What kind of car is it?
11:40It's an open Rolls Royce.
11:42And I wondered if you might like a spin in it.
11:45Oh, how kind.
11:46But alas, not today.
11:48I've had Diamond saddled, and he's waiting for me.
11:51You could ride this afternoon.
11:52But it's arranged now.
11:55Thank you, Sir Anthony.
11:58Do ask me again.
12:05I don't suppose you'd take me?
12:10Of course.
12:11I should be delighted.
12:16What is it that I'm accused of?
12:18Oh, well, nobody's accusing you of anything.
12:21But there has been a suggestion that you were handling the cellar key.
12:27And before I take it any further, I want to find if there's a simple explanation.
12:32Because some wine is missing.
12:35How do you know that?
12:41Right.
12:43Well, we'll leave it there for now.
12:54The Kaiser is such a mercurial figure.
12:57One minute, the warlord.
12:59The next, a lovelorn poet.
13:02But a poet in need of an empire.
13:05That's very good.
13:07Poet in need of an empire.
13:09Yeah.
13:11My late wife used to say that...
13:14What did Lady Strallon used to say?
13:16I don't mind.
13:18That I should like to hear it.
13:19Really?
13:21Would you really?
13:23She used to say that Kaiser Bill loved uniforms and medals.
13:28But he never really connected them with sighting.
13:34What was she like?
13:35Maud?
13:37She was awfully funny.
13:39Some people couldn't see it, but she was.
13:56Is Lynch anywhere about?
13:57I haven't seen him, Lady.
13:59My horse is lame.
14:01I could have a look at him.
14:03Do you know about horses?
14:04I looked after the horses on me father's farm.
14:07It was the best job in the world.
14:08Then why did you leave it?
14:10Me mother wanted me to have a chance of bettering myself.
14:13As a second footman?
14:14It's a good place for me, m'lady.
14:17Of course it is.
14:18I'm sorry.
14:21She hopes, one day, that I might be first footman.
14:25Or even get to be...
14:26Carson, had better watch out.
14:28Stranger things happen at sea.
14:32I've seen Mr. Bates with a bottle from time to time.
14:35I must have thought he was helping you.
14:37Why would I order a valet to help with the wine?
14:40Well, when you put it like that, of course you wouldn't.
14:43So, Mr. Bates is taking wine.
14:46And why would this be?
14:48To drink it?
14:50It's not to clean his boots.
14:52Thank you, Thomas.
14:56Daisy.
14:57Thomas says you have something to add to this.
15:00Well...
15:01You're not in any trouble or any danger of trouble.
15:05You remember what you saw?
15:08I may have seen him coming out of the cellar.
15:11May.
15:13Did you or didn't you?
15:16It's very hard for the girl, Mr. Carson.
15:19You're frightening her.
15:22I'm sorry.
15:26You may go.
15:39Thank you, O'Brien.
15:42How is everything downstairs?
15:44All right, I think, my lady.
15:46Though Mr. Carson's a bit cast down.
15:48Oh, why?
15:49What's the matter with him?
15:50He's found out something about...
15:53Well, a person he admires.
15:56And it isn't very nice.
15:59Has he said who this person is?
16:03Who's proved a disappointment?
16:05I don't like to say, my lady.
16:08Please do, if you know.
16:09Oh, I know.
16:12It's Mr. Bates.
16:14Oh, Bates.
16:15Why, what's he done?
16:17You should ask Mr. Carson, my lady.
16:18It's not my place to tell.
16:25Pa.
16:29Can Branson drive me into Rippon on Friday evening?
16:33I don't think so, no.
16:35Not after the last time.
16:38Oh, please.
16:39There's a meeting in my Borsdal charity.
16:41I've missed two, and I simply must be there.
16:45You'd have to take Mary or Edith with you.
16:49Don't make me.
16:50Those meetings are deadly at the best of times.
16:53And you know what they're like when they're bored.
16:55Why are all your causes so steeped in gloom?
16:59Because it's the gloomy things that need our help.
17:02If everything in the garden's sunny, why metal?
17:06Well, I agree with that.
17:08Talking of sunny, are you looking forward to your coming season?
17:10I am, rather.
17:16Hello.
17:17What are you doing here?
17:19I'm in search of your father.
17:20Carson thought he was outside.
17:22He's in the library.
17:28What is it?
17:30Nothing much.
17:31I've had an inquiry about one of the farms.
17:32Oh.
17:42So, what's new at the big house?
17:45Sybil, mainly.
17:47She's discovered politics, which of course makes Papa see red.
17:51I admire Sybil's passion, then.
17:54Of course.
17:57But then I like a good argument.
17:59Papa does not.
18:02If you really like an argument...
18:05Yes?
18:06We should see more of each other.
18:15So it's all right?
18:16I can go?
18:20Will you be late?
18:21I think I'll miss dinner.
18:22Well, remember to tell Branson to take a sandwich for himself.
18:35But who's it from?
18:36Susan Flincher.
18:38What does she say?
18:40Prepare yourself for the worst.
18:42Not the first page.
18:43My poor niece never uses one word when 20 will do.
18:47Start there.
18:48I'm sorry.
18:49I'm sorry to have to tell you that Hugh has heard a vile story about your granddaughter,
18:55Mary.
18:57Sorry.
18:59She's thrilled.
19:02Now, first I must ask, and I want you to think carefully before you answer.
19:09Is any of this true?
19:15I see some of it is true.
19:21How much?
19:24Oh, dear.
19:27She didn't drag him.
19:29I wondered about that.
19:30I mean, obviously Susan's forgotten the distance between the girls' rooms and the bachelor's corridor.
19:36She couldn't manage it alone.
19:38So how did she do it?
19:41I helped her.
19:43She woke me up and I helped her.
19:50Well, I always thought this family might be approaching dissolution.
19:56I didn't know dissolution was already upon us.
20:01Does Robert know?
20:03No, and he isn't going to.
20:07Oh.
20:09Of course, it was terribly wrong.
20:10It was all terribly wrong.
20:11But I didn't see what else...
20:13Please.
20:14I can't listen to your attempts to try and justify yourself.
20:19I know this is hard for you to hear.
20:22God knows it was hard for me to live through.
20:26But if you expect me to disown my daughter,
20:29I'm afraid you will be disappointed.
20:45I thought you must be out here.
20:47And you'll be right.
20:52I know you're upset.
20:54Yes, I'm upset.
20:56I've been working here two years.
20:58And yet Mr Carson has no difficulty believing the worst of me.
21:01I think he has a great deal of difficulty.
21:04Which is why he hasn't told his lordship yet.
21:08Can't you just explain about Thomas?
21:10No, no.
21:11It would sound like a false accusation.
21:14You can't take it lying down.
21:17Because you're not guilty of any wrong.
21:19And before it's over, I'm going to tell the world.
21:23I mean...
21:25I'm not sure the world is listening.
21:30Sorry.
21:31I'm a bit late tonight.
21:33Not to worry.
21:34How are you?
21:37Pairing up?
21:38This isn't the end.
21:40You mustn't give up.
21:42We'll get there.
21:43Forgive me, my lady, but...
21:45If you don't get it...
21:48You're brought up to think it's all within your grasp
21:50that if you want something enough, it will come to you.
21:54But we're not like that.
21:57We don't think our dreams are bound to come true because...
22:01Because they almost never do.
22:04And that's why we must stick together.
22:07Your dream is my dream now.
22:09And I make it come true.
22:17Why hasn't he done anything?
22:18He's had the story on the witnesses.
22:21The witnesses?
22:22What do you think this is?
22:23A murder mystery?
22:26Well, Mr Bates can't accuse me now.
22:28He'll sound as if he's trying to get his own back.
22:30If I lose my job over this, I swear to God, I'll swing for you.
22:42Is there any stale bread you're throwing out?
22:44And some salt?
22:45Why?
22:46Well, I thought I'd make a last hot poultice for Diamond.
22:49It'll give him a better night.
22:50You're big, softy.
22:52What'll Mr Lynch say?
22:53Well, he doesn't mind.
22:55He says I've got the touch.
22:58He thinks I should pack this in and be a groom.
23:00Why don't you?
23:03My mum.
23:04She was so excited when I came here.
23:07They're proud of me, and I'd hate to spoil that.
23:11Do you miss him?
23:15I never had that in my childhood.
23:18Someone you could always trust.
23:21I trust them, they trust me.
23:23There are no lies in our house.
23:26Thanks.
23:27That's enough.
23:36I'm glad to catch you.
23:38We have a conundrum at the hospital, and I would value your opinion.
23:42Of course.
23:43We've been treating the mother of your footman, William Mason.
23:46What's the matter with her?
23:48Heart, I'm afraid.
23:50She's forbidden us to say anything to her son.
23:52That's ridiculous.
23:54She's gone home now, but she's still very ill.
23:56Clearly, the boy should go and see her.
23:58And I assume you would have no objections?
24:00Of course not.
24:03So, do we break a patient's confidence and disobey her orders, or not?
24:09We can't, if she's forbidden it.
24:12I must say, I agree with you.
24:14Well, I'll tell him.
24:15No, you will not.
24:17She has rights, too, and there are rules.
24:19I don't care a thing about rules.
24:25Where to from here, milady?
24:27What do you mean?
24:28We've arrived.
24:29The meeting's in one of these buildings here.
24:30This is the meeting.
24:31We're here for the counting of the votes.
24:33I don't understand it.
24:35I thought that...
24:35Don't be silly, Branson.
24:37You didn't think I'd miss my very first fire election?
24:39I don't think his lordship would approve.
24:40Let me worry about him.
24:42I have to park the car.
24:43Don't move.
24:43Stay where you are.
24:44Really, Branson.
24:45I thought I gave the orders.
24:49Well, I said to Sir Anthony Strallon.
24:52Sir Anthony?
24:52Don't worry, Lady Grantham.
24:53I haven't got the date wrong.
24:55What a relief.
24:55I could hear Cora wondering if dinner would spread.
24:59Now, I'm not really here at all,
25:00but I was driving past your gates on the way to the Calendar Beckett's
25:03and I thought I'd take a chance.
25:04See, the thing is, I've got two tickets for a concert in York next Friday.
25:09How nice.
25:11Although, I can't...
25:12No, I was hoping that Lady Edith might like to accompany me.
25:16But I'd love to.
25:18Shouldn't you ask what sort of concert it is?
25:20Oh, just Hungry Hundred stuff mostly, you know.
25:22Bellini, Puccini, Rossini.
25:24I'm not up to anything complicated.
25:26I'd like that very much.
25:28Excellent.
25:29Well, it's quite a hike, so I'll pick you up around six.
25:32Lady Jervis has asked us for a bite to eat afterwards,
25:34if that's all right with your mother.
25:35By all means.
25:37Well, I must run.
25:38I hope I haven't spoiled your dinner.
25:40We may have to hire a nurse after all.
25:47Oh, for heaven's sake, hold it steady
25:49if you don't want to start again from the beginning.
25:54Do these biscuits go up?
25:55No, I put them out for the fairies.
25:57Oh.
25:58Of course they go in up.
26:00What's wrong with you?
26:02You're always dozy,
26:03but tonight you'd make Sleeping Beauty look alert.
26:06I was just thinking.
26:07Oh, blimey, button down the hatches.
26:10I think I've let myself down.
26:12It won't be a new sensation.
26:32No, no!
26:36No!
26:36It's James Gillen, the Socialist Party, 2,741 votes.
26:43Call it a day, m'lady.
26:45Don't be silly. This is the moment we've come for.
26:48Trevor Andrews Morgan, the Liberal Party.
26:52This is not our interest in politics. It's a spoiler for a fight.
26:545,894 votes. I hereby declare that the House of the House of Lords...
27:07Come on. How will you get, lads?
27:10We'll soon wipe the smile of the door in one of these races.
27:15Julie Alexey is Julie Alexey to serve as Member of Parliament.
27:21Member of Parliament for the Ripper Constituency.
27:25What on earth are you doing here? I couldn't miss this. Couldn't you? I could.
27:29I don't like the look of this, m'lady.
27:34Look, look, I'm on your side. Don't cause any trouble. You have to believe me.
27:38What's your problem then, Mr. Lardy-Jar?
27:40My problem is you.
27:41Oh, I?
27:52Oh, no. Oh, please, God, no.
27:59This way.
28:08I've fetched a coat. Why? What do I need a coat for?
28:11I've come to fetch her, m'lady.
28:13We've taken Lady Sybil to Crawley House in the village.
28:15What's happened?
28:17I took her to Ripon for the count.
28:19She got injured in a fight.
28:21Take me there at once.
28:33My God.
28:35Oh, my God.
28:36I didn't know what to do, so I had Branson bring her here.
28:39Quite right.
28:40Mama would have fainted if she'd seen her like this.
28:42That's for Papa.
28:43Oh, this will sting a bit.
28:45But it stopped bleeding.
28:49Did you know she was planning this?
28:52Of course not.
28:53Well, what were you doing there?
28:55I was working late.
28:56I'd forgotten it was election night, or I wouldn't have stayed.
28:59I'm so grateful you did.
29:00Oh, I could wring Branson's neck.
29:02What was he thinking?
29:04I'm afraid it'll cost him his job.
29:05No.
29:06I told him he was taking me to a committing meeting.
29:09When he realised what it was, he wanted to come straight back.
29:12You'll have to stick up for him, because Papa will skin him alive.
29:16Are you feeling strong enough to go home?
29:18I think so.
29:20He'll take me.
29:30Here.
29:31Wear my coat to cover the blood.
29:33You'll look more normal.
29:36Lean on me.
29:44Thank you so much for this.
29:49By the way, what happened to William's mother?
29:52Not good, I'm afraid.
29:54She's home, but she's still very weak.
29:56Another attack should finish her.
29:58And he still doesn't know?
29:59She's adamant.
30:01I've tried to explain how hard it'll be on him, but she won't have him disturbed.
30:05To hear her talk, you'd think he was a cabinet minister.
30:09He's made her proud.
30:11There are plenty of children in grander circumstances who'd love to say the same.
30:22I wish you'd tell me what's troubling you.
30:26If it's this business with Mr. Bates...
30:28Well, it's not that.
30:30I'll get to the bottom of that.
30:31Well, I hope you'll do it soon.
30:33There's one thing I hate.
30:35It's an atmosphere.
30:36And we've got a real atmosphere going now.
30:40It's an unfair rumour which needs to be scotched.
30:43It's very hard to hear the names of people you love dragged in the mud.
30:49You feel so powerless.
30:51Well, I respect Mr. Bates, but I'm not sure that I love him.
30:56I wasn't thinking of Mr. Bates.
31:00Mr. Carson, have you got a minute?
31:01What is it, Daisy?
31:02Mr. Carson's a very busy man.
31:04I know he is, but I think he'll want to hear this.
31:08I told you something that wasn't true.
31:11Why would you do that?
31:13I did it as a favour for a friend.
31:16But I know now he was wrong to ask it of me.
31:31She's not badly hurt, is she?
31:33I don't think so, no.
31:36Thank God.
31:39Better be prepared.
31:41I'm afraid Lord Grantham will hit the roof.
31:44I never would have taken her there.
31:47I may be a socialist, but I'm not a lunatic.
31:50I'm not sure Papa knows the difference.
31:54You let me know how she gets on.
31:59Please.
32:02If you wish.
32:13How dare you.
32:14How dare you disobey me in this way.
32:17Robert, I'm sure...
32:18Are you so knowledgeable about the great world?
32:20My instructions are going to be said there's nothing!
32:23Papa, I'm sorry I disobeyed you.
32:26But I'm interested.
32:27I'm political.
32:27I have opinions.
32:28Of course I blame Branson.
32:30I don't think that's fair.
32:31We had none of this.
32:32None of it!
32:33Until he set foot in our house.
32:34I suppose I should give thanks he hasn't burnt the place down over our heads.
32:37Branson didn't know anything about it until we arrived there.
32:40He leaves tonight.
32:42If you punish Branson, I'll never speak to you again.
32:45Never!
32:45I don't believe this is Branson's fault, truly, Papa.
32:48Blame me!
32:49I do blame you!
32:50Robert, can we do this in the morning?
32:52Sybil needs rest.
32:54But if I find tomorrow that Branson is missing, I'll run away.
32:57I warn you.
32:58Oh!
32:59And where would you go?
33:01Well, I can't think now.
33:03But I will go.
33:04And you'll be sorry.
33:08I should be sorry.
33:10Very sorry indeed.
33:15How is she?
33:16She'll be perfectly fine.
33:18I gather you're the shining knight in all this.
33:20Not really.
33:21I'm glad I was there.
33:22So am I, by heaven.
33:23If you'd have been left to that bloody fool, Branson.
33:26You should see what he reads.
33:27It's all Marks and Ruskin and John Stuart Mill, I ask you.
33:31Papa prefers the servants to read the Bible and letters from home.
33:35There are sandwiches for Mr. Crawley in the dining room, Lady Mary.
33:38Thank you, Mrs. Hughes.
33:41We couldn't let you starve.
33:42You really didn't have to.
33:43Mary, you look after Matthew.
33:44I'll go up and revive your mother.
33:50Do you stand by your story?
33:52I don't have a story.
33:53You saw Mr. Bates in here alone, hanging up the cellar key.
33:56To me, that is a story.
33:58I only said I might have seen him.
34:00I suppose I was wrong.
34:01Miss O'Brien, were you then wrong when you thought you saw Mr. Bates carrying a bottle?
34:06You wicked creature.
34:07Anna, you are here to watch, not to participate.
34:11I don't think I was wrong, no.
34:14What do you say to that, Mr. Bates?
34:16I know this to be untrue because I have no need of it.
34:20Since I arrived at Downton, you have never seen me drink one drop of alcohol.
34:25Let us say then that Miss O'Brien was mistaken.
34:29Mistaken, my eye.
34:30And Daisy, we all know the value of your contribution.
34:33Yes, Mr. Carson.
34:35But I must ask one thing, Mr. Bates.
34:38How did you know the wine had been taken?
34:43I'm afraid I cannot answer that.
34:47We can drink to Sybil's safe return.
34:49Why not?
34:50I'll ring for a glass.
34:52Never mind.
34:53Here.
34:57You're not very fastidious about doing things properly, are you?
35:01Are you?
35:02Less than you might think.
35:11Are you at all political?
35:14Yes.
35:16With a hung parliament, it's hard to get excited about a by-election.
35:20You know, nothing will change.
35:22Whoever gets in.
35:28If I might keep you for a minute more, Mr. Carson.
35:31If you'd like me to leave.
35:32No, I would like you to stay, please, Mrs. Hughes.
35:35And you, Anna.
35:37You have decided not to take action over the allegations Thomas has made against me
35:43because you believe them to be untrue.
35:45That is correct.
35:46And you are right.
35:47There is no truth in them.
35:50But if you were to proceed with the matter, you would find them to be proven.
35:56Thomas has tried to convince you that I am a drunkard and a thief.
35:59Which we never believed.
36:01Because you know no different.
36:04Until a couple of years ago, I was a drunkard.
36:09And I was imprisoned as a thief.
36:16I have repaid your kindness very poorly.
36:22I masqueraded as a man of honor and integrity.
36:27But by any moral code, I am disgraced.
36:33That can't be the whole story.
36:37Perhaps not.
36:38But it's enough of it to demand my resignation.
36:44Do you want to leave, Mr. Baines?
36:46No.
36:48But I feel I have no choice.
36:50You owe me a say in the matter, surely?
36:53If you wish.
36:55Then I will consider the case and give you my decision when I have discussed it with his lordship.
37:00Until then, I hope you will remain in your post.
37:11Thank you for coming to Sybil's rescue.
37:14You were very brave.
37:16She told me you knocked a man down.
37:19I hope I did my duty.
37:22Are you a creature of duty?
37:25Not entirely.
37:28When you laugh with me or flirt with me, is that a duty?
37:33Are you conforming to the fitness of things?
37:36Doing what's expected?
37:41Don't play with me.
37:44I don't deserve it.
37:45Not from you.
37:49You must be careful not to break Sybil's heart.
37:52I think she has a crush on you.
37:55Well, that's something no one could accuse you of.
37:57Oh, I don't know.
38:01I assume you speak in a spirit of mockery.
38:04You should have more faith.
38:09Shall I remind you of some of the choicest remarks you made about me when I arrived here?
38:15Because they live in my memory as fresh as the day they were spoken.
38:21Oh, Matthew, what am I always telling you?
38:25You must pay no attention to the things I say.
38:47Mr. Bates?
38:49Anna?
38:52Will you really leave?
38:55I doubt his lordship wants a thief in the house.
39:01I've got to sleep.
39:02I dream of a better man.
39:04I can't.
39:07Because there isn't one.
39:34Is Matthew gone?
39:36Yes?
39:37Thank the lord he was there.
39:43I hope you thank Matthew properly.
39:46I got them to make him some sandwiches.
39:49That's not quite what I meant.
39:53And he asked me to marry him.
39:55Heavens, what did they put in them?
39:57I'm serious.
39:59He proposed to me.
40:02Oh, my dear.
40:06Have you given him an answer?
40:09Only that I'd think about it.
40:12Well, that's an advance on what it would have been a year ago.
40:17Do you want to marry him?
40:19I know you want me to marry him.
40:21What we want doesn't matter.
40:25At least it's not all that matters.
40:31Do you love Matthew?
40:35Yes.
40:38I think perhaps I do.
40:41I think I may have loved him for much longer than I knew.
40:44Oh, my darling.
40:48Let's not pretend this isn't the answer to every one of our prayers.
40:54I'd have to tell him.
40:57Oh.
41:00Well, is it absolutely necessary?
41:02If I didn't, I'd feel as if I'd caught him with a lie.
41:09I hope you know that really smart people sleep in separate rooms.
41:12I always keep the bed made up in the dressing room,
41:15so at least I pretend we sleep apart.
41:16Isn't that enough?
41:17No.
41:18Never mind.
41:20Good night.
41:26Haven't you gone up yet?
41:28Blow this out.
41:29You're the last.
41:31Good night.
41:32Good night.
41:33Good night.
41:37When I bloody get him, I don't care what you say.
41:40What would I say?
41:41Everything comes to him who waits.
41:43Well, I've waited long enough.
41:50Does Carson know you're here?
41:52I heard you were going out and I wanted to see how he was walking.
41:54Lynch is happy for me to ride him.
41:56Oh, yes, he's better.
41:58But I'll wait and see what he's like when you're up.
42:02William, are you planning to go home soon?
42:05Well, it's a bit far from a half day.
42:07But I can maybe get the time to go in July when the family's in London.
42:11As if I don't go with you, of course.
42:14I think you should take a few days off and go now.
42:16I'll fix it.
42:18I'll speak to father and to Carson.
42:19No one will mind.
42:21But why, milady?
42:23Your mother's not been well.
42:27How do you know?
42:28I heard someone mention it in the village.
42:30I forget who.
42:33I had a letter and she never said.
42:34I'm sure it's nothing.
42:36I know it will cheer her to see you.
42:39Well, if you wouldn't be a bother.
42:42It won't.
42:43I'll arrange it as soon as I get back.
42:46Thank you very much, milady.
42:49She ought to spend some time with the people she loves.
42:58The Dowager Countess, milady.
43:02Good afternoon, my dear.
43:05Good afternoon.
43:07There's no need to be so prim.
43:08I come in peace.
43:11Do you want to sit here?
43:18Now, I've been thinking.
43:20I confess.
43:21I do not know if I would have had strength, mentally or physically,
43:26to carry a corpse the length of this house.
43:32But I hope I would have done.
43:37You were quite right.
43:38When something bad happens,
43:40there's no point in wishing it had not happened.
43:43The only option is to minimise the damage.
43:48Or try to.
43:50But if the flinchers have gone home...
43:53I've written to Susan.
43:55I said it was a story
43:56made up by Mr. Pamuk's enemies
43:59to discredit him.
44:02Even if she doesn't believe me,
44:04she won't tell in case it reflects badly on her.
44:08The ambassador is dangerous.
44:11But then,
44:12how many people really go to the Turkish embassy?
44:15It only takes one.
44:17Well,
44:18I mean,
44:19it just can't be helped.
44:21We can't have him assassinated.
44:24I suppose.
44:26Robert still doesn't suspect.
44:28Oh,
44:29I should hope not.
44:30No,
44:30our only way forward
44:32is to get Mary settled as soon as possible.
44:35I have news on that score.
44:37Matthew has proposed.
44:39My,
44:40my.
44:40Have she said yes?
44:42She hasn't said anything yet,
44:43except that she's going to have to tell him about Pamuk.
44:46For heaven's sake.
44:48Why?
44:49She thinks to keep it secret would be dishonorable.
44:52She reads too many novels.
44:54I mean,
44:55one way or another,
44:56everyone goes down the aisle with half the story hidden.
45:00The question is,
45:02will she accept Matthew?
45:04I'm not sure.
45:07What if she doesn't,
45:09we'll just have to take her abroad.
45:11In these moments,
45:13you can normally find an Italian
45:15who isn't too picky.
45:18We'll give her to the start of the grouse.
45:21Very well.
45:22If she turns Matthew down,
45:24we'll take her to Rome in the autumn.
45:26It's official.
45:29Thank you for not turning against her.
45:32I know that you have rules,
45:33and when people break them,
45:34you find it hard to forgive.
45:36I understand that,
45:38and I respect it.
45:41In this case,
45:43Mary has the trump card.
45:44What?
45:46Mary is family.
46:05Mary lives.
46:10I trust you.
46:16Mary lives.
46:18Mary lives.
46:21Mary lives.
46:23Mary lives.
46:27Anyway,
46:29let's pray too.
46:37You
