00:00:35Hurry up, girls. Come on.
00:00:42Come on. Come on. You should be done here.
00:00:45They'll be back from the station any second now.
00:00:54I haven't had a chance to ask. How was London?
00:00:57Oh, much as usual. Dirty, noisy and quite enjoyable.
00:01:01There was no need for you to come back a day early.
00:01:04I'm perfectly capable of getting the house ready.
00:01:06Of course you are, but I like to have the heavy luggage back and unpacked before they get here.
00:01:10I suppose.
00:01:12Steady, William. This isn't a race.
00:01:17Poor lad.
00:01:19But he did see her.
00:01:20I was worried when I took him to King's Cross.
00:01:23Yes, he had time to say goodbye.
00:01:25How is he now?
00:01:27Well, you've only got one mother, haven't you?
00:01:31Now, here, Mrs Hughes.
00:01:44Hello, William. It's good to have you back.
00:01:47What a relief to be home.
00:01:49Don't listen when his loyalty pretends not to enjoy the season.
00:01:53When in Rome?
00:01:54Will Lady Mary be back soon?
00:01:56She's staying on with my sister for a couple of weeks.
00:01:58It's old Grantham house is closed.
00:02:00It will be by the end of this week.
00:02:02Dear Mrs Hughes, I hope you've had some time to yourself while we've been away.
00:02:07I've tackled a few jobs that get forgotten about when the house is full.
00:02:12Any local news?
00:02:13The main topic here is the murder of the Austrian Archduke.
00:02:17Here and everywhere else.
00:02:18I'm afraid we haven't heard the last of that.
00:02:21How is William?
00:02:22Bearing up.
00:02:24Poor chap. He has our sympathies.
00:02:27I think I'll wash the train off before dinner.
00:02:29Very good, my lord. I can unpack while you're bathing.
00:02:31I'll see you up there.
00:02:33Oh, Mrs Hughes, have you had any thoughts about the garden party for the hospital?
00:02:36I've started on it, but there are things we need to talk about.
00:02:39Oh, dear, that sounds like trouble.
00:02:42I'll take my hat off.
00:02:46Sybil, you were a great success in London, darling.
00:02:49Well done.
00:02:52You never say that to me, don't I?
00:02:55You were very helpful, dear.
00:02:59I hate to spoil our ladyship's homecoming, but what are we going to do about Mrs Padman?
00:03:06She's worse than when you left.
00:03:08Much worse.
00:03:10Oh, and I meant to ask, is there a decision about Mr Bates leaving?
00:03:16Oh, not yet.
00:03:17His lordship wants the facts, and Mr Bates won't give them.
00:03:21So what are you going to say to her ladyship about Mrs Patmore?
00:03:26I'm not sure.
00:03:28I don't want the poor woman sacked, but things cannot go on as they are.
00:03:38There's nothing like an English summer, is there?
00:03:40Except an English winter.
00:03:44I'm sorry you haven't received more invitations.
00:03:47But then after four seasons, one is less a debutante than a survivor.
00:03:52My dear, is there anything you're not telling me?
00:03:56No.
00:03:57Only one hears stories.
00:03:59There's nothing, Aunt Rosamund.
00:04:04So, have you decided whether or not to marry Cousin Matthew?
00:04:09Oh, there's no secret Cora can keep for more than a month.
00:04:12You'd be surprised.
00:04:15I've told him I'll give him my answer the day I get back.
00:04:19Well, it will be very tidy.
00:04:21At least we can say that.
00:04:32Fancy a smoke?
00:04:34Don't mind in the day.
00:04:37There they go.
00:04:38Guy Fawkes and his assistant.
00:04:40Which is which?
00:04:41Here you are.
00:04:46Surely, if his lordship hasn't done anything until now, it means he doesn't want to take it any further.
00:04:53Anna's made me an armband, Mr Carson.
00:04:55For my mother.
00:04:57Can I wear it?
00:04:58I dare say.
00:04:59Not when we're entertaining, but otherwise.
00:05:13Hello, Doctor.
00:05:14I didn't know you were here.
00:05:15No.
00:05:16Lady Grantham sent a message.
00:05:18Why?
00:05:18She's not ill, is she?
00:05:19Not ill, exactly.
00:05:23Would you mind waiting in the library?
00:05:30Pregnant?
00:05:32You need me quite so shocked.
00:05:34Give me a moment.
00:05:37You haven't been pregnant for 18 years.
00:05:40And I'm pregnant now.
00:05:42I don't understand what we've done differently.
00:05:44Stop right there.
00:05:45If you want to know more, go down and offer the doctor some whiskey.
00:05:47I can't take it in.
00:05:50But you pleased?
00:05:54Of course.
00:05:57Of course I'm pleased.
00:06:08I didn't think she'd do it.
00:06:10I told you she would.
00:06:12I could see she was interested, and I was speaking as one lady's maid to another.
00:06:17That means something, you know.
00:06:18Of course we thought we had him before, but he's a slippery devil.
00:06:29It's unusual, obviously.
00:06:31Unusual?
00:06:32It's biblical.
00:06:34Not quite.
00:06:36You understand that women go through a certain change.
00:06:42I know quite as much as I need to about all that.
00:06:44Well, sometimes it can result in a surge of fertility, for want of a better word.
00:06:51But the child will be healthy.
00:06:53Oh, there's no reason why not.
00:06:55How long has she...
00:06:57Hard to be precise.
00:06:58Things have become irregular.
00:07:00But, er...
00:07:01Please.
00:07:02I'd say she's about four months gone.
00:07:04It'll begin to show soon.
00:07:07And I don't suppose there's any way of knowing if it's a...
00:07:14I do beg your pardon, my lord.
00:07:15I thought you were alone.
00:07:17No, please come in, Mrs Hughes.
00:07:19I'm just leaving.
00:07:20William?
00:07:21Well, thank you, doctor.
00:07:23I'd better start writing some letters.
00:07:25Show Dr Clarkson out.
00:07:33I didn't want to bother her ladyship if she's not well.
00:07:36She's resting, but tell me anyway.
00:07:39It's Mrs Patmore, my lord.
00:07:41The time has come when we really have to make a decision.
00:07:47Hmm.
00:07:54Now, do you believe me?
00:07:56Careful, Thomas.
00:07:57Your position is not a strong one.
00:07:59Don't punish us, Mr Carson.
00:08:01It's Mr Bates who's wanting here.
00:08:03Tell me, Mr Carson, do you think it right a man like that should live and work at Downton?
00:08:27Mr Napier, my lady.
00:08:30What a surprise.
00:08:32I'm afraid you've just missed my aunt.
00:08:34I know.
00:08:36I watched her leave.
00:08:39How are your wedding plans going?
00:08:41Not very well.
00:08:43In fact, we've decided to call it off.
00:08:46Really?
00:08:47Oh, it seemed quite fixed at Sybil's Ball.
00:08:51What a shame.
00:08:53Please.
00:08:57It'll be better in the long run.
00:08:59Perhaps.
00:09:01I know what high hopes you have of the institution.
00:09:06The thing is, Lady Mary, I'm here today because I needed to tell you something face to face before you
00:09:11went to the country.
00:09:12Face to face?
00:09:15Gracious me.
00:09:16I've recently heard gossip about the time when I came to Downton with Kamal Pamuk.
00:09:21Gossip that I believe has made life difficult for you.
00:09:26I've also heard it said that I am the source of these stories.
00:09:32It is very important to me that you should know that I am not.
00:09:36From that day to this, I have never spoken one word on the matter.
00:09:40Then who did?
00:09:43It seems to have come from the Turkish embassy.
00:09:46From the ambassador himself, in fact, and his wife.
00:09:50But who told them, if not you?
00:09:54This is the hard part.
00:09:57When I discovered the answer, I debated whether I should relay it.
00:10:00But in the end, I feel you ought to know.
00:10:02The suspense is killing me.
00:10:06It was your sister, Lady Edith, who wrote The Ambassador.
00:10:10That is why people accept the story.
00:10:15Edith.
00:10:16It is very hard to believe.
00:10:21Harder for you than for me.
00:10:29I love the thought of a baby in the house, but if it's a boy...
00:10:32It'll be very hard on Mr Crawley.
00:10:35I know.
00:10:36I was no great champion when he first arrived.
00:10:39It seems to me he's tried his best and has done the decent thing.
00:10:44I can't see that coming off.
00:10:46You don't mean the engagement.
00:10:49But it's not an engagement yet, is it?
00:10:52She'd never throw him over.
00:10:55Mr Carson, Lady Mary Crawley does not deserve you.
00:11:08And she's not been in touch with Cousin Matthew?
00:11:11Not that I've heard.
00:11:14Wonderful news, of course.
00:11:16You must look after yourself.
00:11:18Don't worry, O'Brien has been wrapped in silken feathers.
00:11:22You're lucky.
00:11:24I have a horrible feeling Simmons is about to hand in her notice.
00:11:28She's looking very fidgety lately.
00:11:32And I saw her hurrying to meet the postman.
00:11:35Oh, you poor thing.
00:11:37Is there anything worse than losing one's maid?
00:11:41I mean, why would you want to leave me?
00:11:43I've been as gentle as a lamb.
00:11:48Most of the time.
00:11:50I'm...
00:11:56I want to say I'll make provision for you
00:11:58if it's a boy and you get pushed out.
00:12:00Don't worry.
00:12:01I know you can't.
00:12:04If any man living understands the strength of the entail,
00:12:06it's me.
00:12:08I can give you Crawley House for life if it's a help.
00:12:13Have you heard from Mary?
00:12:14No.
00:12:15Have you?
00:12:18By the way, I want to ask a favour.
00:12:19What's the name of your cook?
00:12:21The one you brought with you from Manchester?
00:12:24Mrs Bird.
00:12:28I'll get it, Mrs Patmore.
00:12:29Oh, don't fuss me.
00:12:31Is that everything?
00:12:32Yeah.
00:12:34How are you feeling?
00:12:36Well, most people's parents die before them.
00:12:38Oh, give it a rest.
00:12:40Your mother knew how to drag it out.
00:12:41I'll say that for her.
00:12:42What?
00:12:43Thomas.
00:12:44Now, I'll...
00:12:45Get up to the servery.
00:12:46Dad!
00:12:47You gave me the wrong clock!
00:12:49Oh, sit down, Mrs Patten.
00:12:51I can't sit down when I've got the luncheon to finish.
00:12:53It was not a suggestion.
00:12:55Sit.
00:12:57Daisy and I will finish the luncheon.
00:13:08So he'll give us this house for life, will he?
00:13:10How generous.
00:13:11It is generous.
00:13:13He doesn't have to.
00:13:16But it's made me think.
00:13:19You must stay here if you want.
00:13:21But I wonder if it mightn't be better all round
00:13:23if I went back to Manchester.
00:13:27It may not be a boy.
00:13:29Really, mother?
00:13:30You never approved of it all in the first place.
00:13:32If it is a boy, you should see it as a release,
00:13:35not a disappointment.
00:13:38What does Mary say?
00:13:42Nothing yet.
00:13:46You wanted to see Mrs Bird, sir?
00:13:48Yes, Mrs Bird.
00:13:50Lord Grantham has rather a favour to ask of you.
00:13:55I'm surprised Lord Grantham knows that I exist, sir.
00:14:10I'm sorry to disturb you.
00:14:12Quite all right.
00:14:14Mr Bates, it's about your somewhat startling confession.
00:14:19As you'll have surmised,
00:14:21his lordship has yet to come to a decision.
00:14:23His delay is generous.
00:14:25However,
00:14:26it will be no surprise to you
00:14:29that Miss O'Brien
00:14:30has been unwilling to let things drop.
00:14:34It seems that when we were in London,
00:14:36she made a new friend.
00:14:38A lady's maid
00:14:39in the house of a colonel
00:14:41in your former regiment.
00:14:50Please tell me that this account is false,
00:14:53at least in part.
00:14:56I wish I could.
00:15:00We'll have to show this to his lordship.
00:15:02Of course you will.
00:15:04I do not like to play the part of Pontius Pilate,
00:15:07but I'm afraid I must.
00:15:09Lord Grantham will decide what's to be done.
00:15:16Mr Bates,
00:15:19I hope you do not feel
00:15:20that I've treated you unjustly.
00:15:22On the contrary, Mr Carson.
00:15:25I am astonished at your kindness.
00:15:39Of all of you,
00:15:41Sybil might find joy in a cottage,
00:15:43but not you.
00:15:44We don't know it'll be a boy.
00:15:46Exactly.
00:15:47So ask Matthew to wait until the child is born.
00:15:49If it's a girl,
00:15:50you can wed him happily
00:15:51and all be as it was before.
00:15:52But if I delay,
00:15:53won't he think I'm only after him
00:15:55for his position?
00:15:57Besides,
00:15:58I'm not sure I want to put him off,
00:16:00even without the title.
00:16:02We get on so well, you know,
00:16:04and he's terribly clever.
00:16:06He might end up Lord Chancellor.
00:16:08And he might not.
00:16:10Oh, come along, Mary,
00:16:11be sensible.
00:16:12Can you really see yourself
00:16:14dawdling your life away
00:16:15as the wife of a country solicitor?
00:16:25But why would we ever want
00:16:26to telephone at Downton, my lord?
00:16:28Well, they have their uses.
00:16:30You could speak to the housekeeper in London.
00:16:32That'd be helpful, surely.
00:16:33I hope I have not failed
00:16:35in my management of the recent move.
00:16:37Not at all.
00:16:38But the telephone is here now.
00:16:40And the girls got used to it
00:16:42when we were in London.
00:16:43Besides,
00:16:44none of us know
00:16:45what the next few months will bring.
00:16:46Because of the Archduke's death.
00:16:49Austria won't get
00:16:49what it wants from Serbia.
00:16:51And now Russia's starting to rumble.
00:16:53Well, there's not much
00:16:54we can do about that.
00:16:56So, will you take care
00:16:57of the telephone man?
00:16:58Hmm.
00:16:59Oh, about Mr. Bates, my lord.
00:17:02I expect you've had time
00:17:03to consider the contents
00:17:05of that letter.
00:17:06Yes.
00:17:07But I find it very odd.
00:17:09Regimental silver.
00:17:11I could more easily see Bates
00:17:12as an assassin
00:17:13than a petty pulverer.
00:17:14I agree.
00:17:15And while the letter
00:17:16is hard to argue with,
00:17:18I wouldn't put anything
00:17:19past Thomas
00:17:20or Miss O'Brien.
00:17:26So,
00:17:27what do we miss?
00:17:29Nothing much.
00:17:30Although you'd have had
00:17:31more invitations than I did.
00:17:32Have you thought
00:17:33about Matthew?
00:17:34Of course.
00:17:35But Aunt Rosalind...
00:17:36No, sir.
00:17:37She's written to me
00:17:38I should pay no attention.
00:17:39But Granny,
00:17:40she has got a point.
00:17:41Mary can't be completely naive.
00:17:42I don't need your help.
00:17:44Mary, listen to me.
00:17:46If you take Matthew now
00:17:48when his whole future
00:17:49is at risk,
00:17:50he will love you
00:17:51to the end of his days.
00:17:53Why, Granny,
00:17:54you're a romantic.
00:17:55I've been called
00:17:56many things
00:17:57but never that.
00:17:58And what happens
00:17:58if the baby's a boy
00:17:59and Matthew loses everything?
00:18:01Mary can always
00:18:01change her mind.
00:18:03But I can't do that
00:18:03to Matthew.
00:18:04It's not how we are together.
00:18:05Oh.
00:18:06Now I'm going upstairs
00:18:07to help Hannah unpack.
00:18:08I'll come with you.
00:18:14Edith,
00:18:15why don't you go too?
00:18:20Sir Anthony Strallon
00:18:22was at Lady Wren's party.
00:18:24He asked after you.
00:18:34Is she really serious
00:18:35about him?
00:18:37Any port in the storm?
00:18:39Oh, by the way,
00:18:41I was right about my maid.
00:18:43She's leaving
00:18:43to get married.
00:18:46How could you be so selfish?
00:18:48I do sympathise.
00:18:50Robert's always wanting me
00:18:51to get rid of O'Brien
00:18:52but I can't face it.
00:18:53Anyway, she's so fond of me.
00:18:55Well, I thought Simmons
00:18:55was fond of me.
00:18:58What am I to do?
00:19:00Why don't I put
00:19:01an advertisement in the lady?
00:19:02It's always the best place
00:19:03to start.
00:19:04Oh, that's so kind.
00:19:07I really must be going.
00:19:10Now, don't let Mary
00:19:12wait for the baby
00:19:13before she gives Matthew
00:19:15her answer.
00:19:16I'm sure it's another girl.
00:19:18I know those men
00:19:19of the moral high ground.
00:19:22If she won't say yes
00:19:24when he might be poor,
00:19:26he won't want her
00:19:27when he will be rich.
00:19:31Maybe we should knit something.
00:19:33Oh, yes.
00:19:33I'm sure they'd love
00:19:34a pair of booties
00:19:35knitted by you.
00:19:36Or what about
00:19:37a christening mug?
00:19:38They can buy
00:19:38their own silver.
00:19:39Anything in the pair
00:19:40for Thomas?
00:19:41They've arrested
00:19:41this prince at fellow
00:19:42on his gang.
00:19:43All Serbian
00:19:44and members
00:19:44of the Black Hand.
00:19:46The Black Hand?
00:19:47Oh, I don't like
00:19:47the sound of that.
00:19:48I don't like the sound
00:19:49of any of it.
00:19:50War is on the way.
00:19:51Then we'll have to face it
00:19:52as bravely as we can.
00:19:54Thank you,
00:19:54Mr Cannon, father.
00:19:56Don't you think
00:19:56a war's coming?
00:19:57Oh, there'll be a war,
00:19:58all right.
00:19:59It's time to prepare for it.
00:20:01A country, do you mean?
00:20:02No, me.
00:20:04You never disappoint.
00:20:06Daisy?
00:20:08Run and find
00:20:08Mrs Patmore.
00:20:09His lordship
00:20:10wants to see her
00:20:10in the library.
00:20:12His lordship
00:20:12wants Mrs Patmore
00:20:13to go up to the library?
00:20:14That is what I said.
00:20:17And Anna,
00:20:17you're to come too.
00:20:22We thought
00:20:23the assassination
00:20:23of an archduke
00:20:24was a surprise.
00:20:30Mrs Patmore,
00:20:31my lord.
00:20:38Your lordship,
00:20:40I know things
00:20:41haven't been quite right
00:20:42for a while,
00:20:43but I can assure you...
00:20:43Come in, Mrs Patmore.
00:20:47I promise you,
00:20:48my lord,
00:20:49if I could just be
00:20:50allowed a bit more time...
00:20:51Mrs Patmore,
00:20:52I've not asked you here
00:20:53to give you your notice.
00:20:55Haven't you?
00:20:56No.
00:20:56I understand
00:20:57you've had some trouble
00:20:58with your sight.
00:20:59That's just it.
00:21:00I know I could manage better
00:21:01if I...
00:21:01Please.
00:21:02Mrs Patmore.
00:21:02Let him speak.
00:21:05Beg pardon, my lord.
00:21:06Don't apologise.
00:21:07Now,
00:21:07on Dr Clarkson's recommendation,
00:21:09I'm sending you up to London
00:21:10to see an eye specialist
00:21:11at Moorfields.
00:21:13Anna will go with you
00:21:14and you'll stay
00:21:14with my sister Rosamund
00:21:16in her new house
00:21:16in Belgrave Square.
00:21:19I'm afraid
00:21:19I'm going to have to sit
00:21:20in your presence, my lord.
00:21:22Of course.
00:21:26But how will you
00:21:28get on here?
00:21:30Well,
00:21:31Mrs Crawley
00:21:32is lending us
00:21:33her cook,
00:21:34Mrs Bird.
00:21:35She's coming over tomorrow.
00:21:36You'll be good enough
00:21:37to show her how things work.
00:21:38Are the Crawleys
00:21:40to starve
00:21:40while I'm away?
00:21:42They'll eat here
00:21:42every evening.
00:21:44Now,
00:21:44my sister's butler
00:21:45will look after you.
00:21:46He's very nice.
00:21:48Anna,
00:21:48you won't mind
00:21:48a visit to London?
00:21:49No, my lord.
00:21:52It'll be an adventure.
00:21:53One with a happy ending,
00:21:55I hope.
00:22:06Let me get this clear.
00:22:07At Sybil's ball,
00:22:08you said you'd give me
00:22:08your answer the day
00:22:09you got back
00:22:09and now you say
00:22:10you will not.
00:22:10Why do we have to
00:22:11rush into it?
00:22:12I need to be sure,
00:22:13that's all.
00:22:14But you were sure.
00:22:16Shall I tell you
00:22:17what I think has altered you?
00:22:18My prospects,
00:22:18because nothing else has changed.
00:22:19No.
00:22:20Yes.
00:22:21If your mother's child
00:22:21is a boy,
00:22:22then he's the heir
00:22:23and I go back
00:22:24to living on my wits
00:22:24and you'd rather
00:22:25not follow me.
00:22:26Oh, Matthew,
00:22:26you always make everything
00:22:27so black and white.
00:22:29I think this is black and white.
00:22:31Do you love me enough
00:22:32to spend your life with me?
00:22:34If you don't,
00:22:35then say no.
00:22:37If you do,
00:22:38then say yes.
00:22:38I want to...
00:22:41Granny told me
00:22:41I should say yes now,
00:22:43then withdraw
00:22:44if you lost everything.
00:22:48To make that work,
00:22:49you'd have to be
00:22:49a good liar.
00:22:52Are you a good liar?
00:22:54Well, not good enough
00:22:55to try it, apparently.
00:23:01How could you not
00:23:02have realised
00:23:02they'd discover
00:23:03the loss at once
00:23:05and to keep them
00:23:06in your house?
00:23:09But you only served
00:23:10two years.
00:23:11That's right, my lord.
00:23:12So,
00:23:13clearly the judge
00:23:14thought there was
00:23:15some mitigating factor.
00:23:17I just want to know
00:23:18the truth.
00:23:20I cannot speak of it,
00:23:22Maud.
00:23:23You must decide
00:23:24whether I stay
00:23:24or go on the basis
00:23:25of the evidence
00:23:26before you.
00:23:28I will respect that.
00:23:35I'm sorry.
00:23:37I don't believe it.
00:23:38How can you say that?
00:23:40Well, I've confessed
00:23:41to the crime.
00:23:43Well, his lordship
00:23:44obviously doesn't think
00:23:44that's all there is to it.
00:23:46And I don't either.
00:23:48Anna,
00:23:49are you set
00:23:50for the nine o'clock
00:23:51train tomorrow?
00:23:51All packed and ready.
00:23:53You'll be met
00:23:53at King's Cross
00:23:54by Lady Rosamund's
00:23:55chauffeur,
00:23:56which I think is generous,
00:23:57but after that
00:23:58you're on your own.
00:23:59Right,
00:24:00I must get on.
00:24:01I'm acting referee
00:24:02for Mrs Patmore
00:24:03and Mrs Bird.
00:24:04Best of luck.
00:24:12Will you miss me?
00:24:15Try not to miss me.
00:24:17It'll be good practice.
00:24:23I expect it'll be hard
00:24:25adjusting to this kitchen
00:24:27after the one you're used to.
00:24:29Not to worry.
00:24:30I'm sure I can have it
00:24:32cleaned up in no time.
00:24:34Cleaned up?
00:24:35I'm not criticising.
00:24:37With your eyesight,
00:24:38it's a wonder
00:24:39you could see the pots at all.
00:24:41You have met Daisy
00:24:43and the others?
00:24:44I have.
00:24:45So what they all find to do
00:24:46is a mystery to me.
00:24:47Are you not used to
00:24:49managing staff,
00:24:50Mrs Bird?
00:24:51I'm used to getting it done
00:24:52with one kitchen maid,
00:24:54Mrs Patmore.
00:24:55But I suppose
00:24:56in a house like this,
00:24:58you expect to take it easy.
00:25:02Do you think we should
00:25:03erect a ring
00:25:04and let them fight it out?
00:25:06She's all right,
00:25:07Mrs Bird.
00:25:08She's more of a general
00:25:09than a trooper,
00:25:10but you need that
00:25:11in a cook.
00:25:13Mrs Patmore's
00:25:14the generalissimo.
00:25:23Well, I'm very sad.
00:25:26I thought Mary
00:25:27was made of better stuff.
00:25:29Don't speak against her.
00:25:32Of course,
00:25:32she's taken advice
00:25:33from someone
00:25:33with false and greedy values.
00:25:35Oh, Mother.
00:25:36And we don't have to go
00:25:36too far to know who that is.
00:25:38I've a good mind to...
00:25:39not to go near
00:25:39Cousin Violet.
00:25:40That is an order.
00:25:43Something's not right
00:25:44about it.
00:25:45I agree.
00:25:47Having a silver thief
00:25:48in the house
00:25:48does not seem right at all,
00:25:49even if he could walk.
00:25:52But Carson isn't keen
00:25:53to get rid of him either,
00:25:54and he normally comes down
00:25:55on this sort of thing
00:25:56like a ton of bricks.
00:25:57What's his reasoning?
00:25:59He blames Thomas
00:26:00and O'Brien.
00:26:01He says they've been
00:26:02working against Bates
00:26:03since he got here.
00:26:04So I should
00:26:05sack O'Brien instead?
00:26:06You'll hear no argument
00:26:07from me.
00:26:08This should do
00:26:09the trick, my lady.
00:26:15Ten years of my life,
00:26:17that's what I've given her.
00:26:18Ten bloody years.
00:26:19But did she say
00:26:19she'd sack you?
00:26:20It's obviously
00:26:21what he wants.
00:26:22So when will they tell you?
00:26:24When they've found
00:26:24a replacement.
00:26:26Heaven for fence,
00:26:26she should have to put
00:26:27a comb through her own hair.
00:26:29And if I'm going,
00:26:30you won't be far behind.
00:26:31Oh, so what?
00:26:33Sodom.
00:26:33There's a war coming
00:26:34and war means change.
00:26:36We should be making plans.
00:26:38What are you talking about?
00:26:39Well, put it like this.
00:26:41I don't want to be
00:26:41a footman anymore,
00:26:42but I don't intend
00:26:43to be killed in battle,
00:26:43neither.
00:26:52I'm not saying poison them.
00:26:55Just make sure
00:26:56they don't find her food
00:26:57all that agreeable.
00:26:59By poisoning her,
00:26:59will you stop that?
00:27:01You don't want it to taste like.
00:27:04I want them to be glad
00:27:06when I get back.
00:27:07That's all.
00:27:12This will be for the family
00:27:14and the one in my pantry
00:27:15is for the staff,
00:27:16or more precisely,
00:27:18me.
00:27:18We don't normally provide two.
00:27:20Then perhaps we should
00:27:21find another supplier.
00:27:23Oh, hold your horses.
00:27:25Right.
00:27:26Where do you see
00:27:26this other telephone?
00:27:28Here,
00:27:29in the outer hall.
00:27:30Oh.
00:27:34Good afternoon, Carson.
00:27:35Is Lady Edith in?
00:27:36I am.
00:27:37I most certainly am.
00:27:39I was just driving past.
00:27:41Yes.
00:27:41And I thought you might
00:27:42like to come for a spin,
00:27:43if you're not too busy.
00:27:44Wait till I get my coat.
00:27:46Is it all right
00:27:46if I make some notes?
00:27:48I'm so sorry,
00:27:49Mr.
00:27:50This is Mr. Bromage,
00:27:52my lady.
00:27:52He's here about the telephone.
00:27:54Oh,
00:27:55please make your notes
00:27:56to Mr. Bromage.
00:27:57We're so looking forward to it.
00:27:58What an exciting business
00:27:59to be in.
00:28:00You must be expanding
00:28:01every day.
00:28:02Oh, we are, sir.
00:28:03But that brings its problems,
00:28:05training up men
00:28:06for the work
00:28:07when many have no aptitude.
00:28:09I can't even find a secretary
00:28:10who can keep pace
00:28:11at the moment.
00:28:12What?
00:28:13It's hard with a new concept.
00:28:15Too old,
00:28:16they can't change.
00:28:17Too young,
00:28:18and they've no experience.
00:28:19But have you filled
00:28:19the post yet?
00:28:20Because I know just the woman.
00:28:22Well, she must hurry up.
00:28:23We'll close the list
00:28:24tomorrow night.
00:28:25You'll have her application.
00:28:26I promise.
00:28:43This isn't bad at all,
00:28:44is it?
00:28:45Well,
00:28:45I don't know.
00:28:46No one told me
00:28:47there'd be an actual operation.
00:28:49And what did you think?
00:28:51They were just going
00:28:51to make magic passes
00:28:52over your eyes?
00:28:55All right.
00:28:56Mrs. Hatmore?
00:28:58She'll be fine.
00:29:01You've been sent to us
00:29:03by the Earl of Grantham.
00:29:04That's right.
00:29:05Very good.
00:29:07You can leave her now.
00:29:08We'll keep her in for a week.
00:29:10You can collect her
00:29:10next Friday.
00:29:15I'll be in to visit
00:29:17every day.
00:29:18What about the rest
00:29:18of the time?
00:29:20Don't worry.
00:29:33You'll be fine.
00:30:03You'll be fine.
00:30:15Bates, you say?
00:30:17John Bates.
00:30:19He must have left the army
00:30:20about eight years ago.
00:30:23Wait here, please.
00:30:37Have you finished the soup?
00:30:38I think so, Mrs. Bird.
00:30:41And the sauce for the fish?
00:30:43Yes, Mrs. Bird.
00:30:44Well, then put them
00:30:44in the warmer.
00:30:46What?
00:31:13I think so, Mrs. Bird.
00:31:14Ta-da.
00:31:14I think so.
00:31:15I think so.
00:31:16You don't mean John Bates, who went to prison for theft?
00:31:20That's correct.
00:31:22Well, I know who he is, right enough.
00:31:24It's an odd business.
00:31:26Why odd?
00:31:29Never mind.
00:31:30So you're his cousin, and you'd like to be in touch?
00:31:35Very forgiving.
00:31:37Well, I've got no address for him or his wife.
00:31:39But I've got one for his mother, which should still be good.
00:31:43I've written it down for you.
00:31:47Thank you for your trouble.
00:32:02Is it true you wrote to the Turkish ambassador about Kamal?
00:32:06Who told you?
00:32:07Someone who knows that you did.
00:32:10Then why are you asking?
00:32:12Because I wanted to give you one last chance to deny it.
00:32:16Then what if I did?
00:32:18He had a right to know how his countryman died.
00:32:21In the arms of a slut.
00:32:28How's that advertisement getting on for the new maid?
00:32:30Well, it's only just come out.
00:32:34William and I can manage here now.
00:32:36Go and tell Mrs Bird we'll have our dinner in 20 minutes.
00:32:39Carson, be sure to say to Mrs Bird the dinner was really delicious.
00:32:47Oh, thank you.
00:32:51So, how was the drive?
00:32:53It was lovely.
00:32:55They are now.
00:32:56Only...
00:32:57When they're in London, at least.
00:32:58Yes?
00:32:59I suspect this is going to be the coming thing.
00:33:01Well, he said he had a question for me.
00:33:05He told me he'd ask it at the garden party and he hopes I'll say yes.
00:33:11Yes, I could.
00:33:12Carson's very wary.
00:33:13You must think very carefully what your answer will be.
00:33:17Yes, I should think very carefully about a lot of things.
00:33:22Do your neighbours have one?
00:33:24Yes, they do.
00:33:25In London, anyway.
00:33:26Well, it seems very wise to get a telephone now.
00:33:27If there is a war, it may be very hard to have one installed in a private house.
00:33:30Well, let me show you where we're going to put it.
00:33:32Oh.
00:33:33First, electricity in our telephones.
00:33:36Sometimes I feel as if I were living in an HG Wells novel.
00:33:42But the young are all so calm about change, aren't they?
00:33:46Look at Matthew.
00:33:48I do admire him.
00:33:51Do you?
00:33:55What have I done wrong now?
00:33:56Oh, please.
00:33:58Don't pretend Mary's sudden reluctance can't be traced back to you.
00:34:02Well, I shall pretend it.
00:34:04I told her to take him.
00:34:06Your quarrel is with my daughter, Rosamond, not me.
00:34:10So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
00:34:14Hm.
00:34:22Mr Mowesley.
00:34:24What are you after?
00:34:26I wanted to work with Mr Carson.
00:34:27I'm here to have my dinner.
00:34:29You don't want much, do you?
00:34:30What are you doing?
00:34:33Mr Carson dropped his wallet in the passage.
00:34:35I was replacing it.
00:34:45But everything seems so settled between you at Sybil's Ball.
00:34:50Things have changed since then.
00:34:52Not necessarily.
00:34:55I don't seem to be much good at making boys.
00:34:58any more than I'm much good at building my life on shifting sands.
00:35:04You do know I should be very proud to have you as my son-in-law,
00:35:08whatever your prospects.
00:35:11Unfortunately, sir,
00:35:13your daughter is more practical than you.
00:35:19Will you join us, Mrs Bird?
00:35:21I don't mind if I do.
00:35:23I'm not sure Mrs Patmore would like that, Mr Carson.
00:35:26Cook always eats separate, that's what she says.
00:35:28Not in our house.
00:35:30There's only the four of us.
00:35:32And you're going any minute.
00:35:33She's advertised for your replacement.
00:35:35That filthy, ungrateful cow.
00:35:39Let the kitchen maids have theirs on their own.
00:35:42You stay with us.
00:35:43A ladyship said to tell you that the dinner was delicious.
00:35:47Curve.
00:35:48Daisy?
00:35:49Does that surprise you?
00:36:09What have you done with this, you little beggar?
00:36:10I knew it.
00:36:12That's why I said it was for upstairs.
00:36:15Come on!
00:36:16Tell us what's in it.
00:36:19Just water and a bit of soap.
00:36:26And you've put something in the fish sauce as well?
00:36:31Only mustard and anise.
00:36:34Why, Daisy?
00:36:35Why would you do such a thing?
00:36:37Because Mrs Patmore was worried that they'd prefer Mrs Bird's cooking
00:36:43and they wouldn't want her to come back.
00:36:45Is that likely?
00:36:46When they've taken such trouble to get a well?
00:36:49I'm sorry.
00:36:57There, there.
00:37:00There are worse crimes on earth than loyalty.
00:37:02Dry your eyes.
00:37:04And fetch the beef stew I was making for tomorrow.
00:37:08You've not had a chance to spoil that, I suppose.
00:37:12I was gonna mix in some syrup of figs, but I've not done it yet.
00:37:18Well, at least it would have all been regular.
00:37:23Carson said you were here.
00:37:25Just checking that everything's been done right, my lady.
00:37:28Only we never heard back.
00:37:30That is, Miss Dawson never heard back from you.
00:37:32About an interview?
00:37:34Ah, yes.
00:37:35We got the young lady's letter, but the trouble is,
00:37:38she didn't have any experience of hard work that I could tell, so...
00:37:41But she's a very hard worker.
00:37:43Well, I couldn't find any proof of it.
00:37:45And she gave you as a reference when, er,
00:37:47you don't run a business, my lady.
00:37:49Well, not that I'm aware of.
00:37:52Lily?
00:37:53Can you find Gwen and tell her to come to the hall now?
00:37:56Yes, my lady.
00:37:57The reason Gwen didn't give any more details
00:37:59is because she works here as a housemaid.
00:38:03Ah, and you thought that would put me off.
00:38:06But she's taken a postal course and has good speeds in typing,
00:38:09and Pittman Shorttown tests her.
00:38:11Oh, well, if I like the look of her.
00:38:14Ah, so, young lady,
00:38:16you thought I'd turn up my nose at a housemaid.
00:38:19Why, I did, sir.
00:38:20Well, my mother was a housemaid.
00:38:23I've got nothing against housemaids.
00:38:25They know about hard work and long hours, that's for sure.
00:38:28Well, I believe so, sir.
00:38:30Right, well, is there somewhere we could talk?
00:38:33Gwen, take Mr. Bourridge to the library.
00:38:35I'll see no-one disturbs you.
00:38:48Sorry, Papa, you can't go in there.
00:38:51Why on earth not?
00:38:52Gwen's in there with Mr. Bourridge.
00:38:54She's being interviewed.
00:38:56I cannot use my library,
00:38:58because one of the housemaids is in there applying for another job.
00:39:02It's about the size of it.
00:39:13So, what is it you want to know?
00:39:17I want to know the truth about the case against him.
00:39:22I want to know why the sergeant thought it was odd.
00:39:26I want to know what Mr. Bates isn't saying.
00:39:29Because you don't believe him to be guilty?
00:39:31No.
00:39:32I don't.
00:39:34I know he's not.
00:39:37Well.
00:39:39You're right, of course.
00:39:43Then who was it?
00:39:45Who was the thief?
00:39:48His wife.
00:39:50Vera.
00:39:53Who do you call?
00:39:54No one you know has got one.
00:39:57Well, he will have.
00:39:58You'll see.
00:39:58Might I inquire why my pantry has become a common room?
00:40:03Sorry, Mr. Carson.
00:40:05But...
00:40:06Do you know how it works?
00:40:08Of course I do.
00:40:10Will you show us?
00:40:11Certainly not.
00:40:12A telephone is not a toy, but a useful and valuable tool.
00:40:16Now, get back to your work.
00:40:42She worked at the barrack sometimes, helping at big dinners and so on.
00:40:47That night, her opportunity came and she took it.
00:40:51They knew it was her.
00:40:53Someone even saw her with a big carry-on.
00:40:56But why did he confess?
00:41:00Well...
00:41:01Jan wasn't the same man in those days.
00:41:04The African war had shaken him up and made him angry.
00:41:08He'd been wounded.
00:41:10And he drank a lot more than was good for him.
00:41:15Was he violent?
00:41:17No.
00:41:19No, not violent.
00:41:21Well, he could be hard at times, with a tongue like a razor.
00:41:25He felt he'd ruined Vera's life, Miss Smith.
00:41:30Do you agree with him?
00:41:31No.
00:41:32No.
00:41:33I thought she was a nasty piece of work.
00:41:35But that's why he took the blame.
00:41:41Surely, if everyone knew he was innocent...
00:41:44But he confessed.
00:41:46There was nothing anybody could do once he confessed.
00:41:55Could I ask you something, sir?
00:41:57Only, I get the feeling that a war's on the way.
00:42:00I'm afraid we all do.
00:42:02And when it comes, I want to be really useful to my country.
00:42:05How heartening.
00:42:06So, I've been thinking what could be more useful than what you do?
00:42:09Bringing people back to health.
00:42:10Back to life.
00:42:12I see.
00:42:14Well, um...
00:42:15We are looking for volunteers to train for the Territorial Force Hospitals,
00:42:18if that's what you mean.
00:42:20It's exactly what I mean.
00:42:21Will you not be missed here?
00:42:23Maybe.
00:42:23Well, I'll be going, won't we?
00:42:25The younger men, anyway.
00:42:27As you wish.
00:42:29I'll make inquiries.
00:42:30Thank you very much, Doctor.
00:42:35Mr. Molesley walked in and there he was, as bold as brass,
00:42:39taking my wallet out of my change coat.
00:42:42Mr. Molesley would have no reason to make it up, my lord.
00:42:45He doesn't know Thomas.
00:42:47Why would he lie?
00:42:49So, Thomas has been caught red-handed.
00:42:51Well, we knew he was a thief, didn't we?
00:42:53And now we have unimpeachable proof.
00:42:56I'm afraid he has to go.
00:42:58Oh, I hate this sort of thing.
00:43:00With Lady Grantham's condition and everything.
00:43:02Can we at least wait until after the garden party?
00:43:05Very well, my lord.
00:43:06But then, I think we must act.
00:43:13How long will you wear them?
00:43:15A week or so.
00:43:16But I can see much better already, even with them on.
00:43:19Thank heaven.
00:43:21Now, we need to talk about the garden party.
00:43:23Mrs. Bird and I have made some lists.
00:43:26What? Mrs. Bird?
00:43:27Oh, I think we can manage without any help from Mrs. Bird.
00:43:31Can you?
00:43:32Well, if you want your garden party to be run by a blind pew,
00:43:35that's your business.
00:43:38Mrs. Patmore, there's a lot to be done
00:43:40and you're only just up on your feet.
00:43:42We really cannot manage without Mrs. Bird.
00:43:45If you say so.
00:43:46Now, I've been checking the stores
00:43:48and I've ordered what you'll need for the baking.
00:43:51That's very kind, Mrs. Hughes,
00:43:53but I believe we should check the stores when it's convenient.
00:43:58Mrs. Bird, at Downton Abbey, the housekeeper manages the store cupboard.
00:44:02But I think you'll find...
00:44:03I've never not run my own store cupboard in my life.
00:44:07Separate the cook from the store cupboard.
00:44:09Where's the sense in that?
00:44:10How long have I been saying this, oh, Lord?
00:44:14We're the ones who cook it.
00:44:16We should be the ones to order it.
00:44:18Mrs. Bird, I shall be very happy with your help with the garden party.
00:44:23I'm sure we can manage it easily.
00:44:25Between the two of us.
00:44:41Hello.
00:44:43This is Downton Abbey.
00:44:45Carson the butler speaking.
00:44:55Hello.
00:44:56This is Mr. Carson the butler of Downton Abbey.
00:45:00To whom am I speaking?
00:45:05I'm not shouting!
00:45:07Well, who are you?
00:45:09Mrs. Gaunt.
00:45:09Oh, Mrs. Gaunt.
00:45:10What number do you want?
00:45:11No, I don't want to place a call.
00:45:15I was practising my answer.
00:45:18Well, I dare say a lot of the things you do sound stupid to other people.
00:45:23I've written to your mother.
00:45:24She's very anxious.
00:45:27Naturally.
00:45:28She suggested coming over.
00:45:30Oh, God.
00:45:31Well, that's what I thought.
00:45:32So I put her off.
00:45:33Told her to come and admire the baby.
00:45:37I'll just go and run your ladyship's bath.
00:45:39Thank you, O'Brien.
00:45:40Oh, have you had any answers about the position?
00:45:43Quite a few.
00:45:49So what do they sound like?
00:45:51There's one I think has real possibilities.
00:45:54She looked at her here in Paris while she was working for the ambassadress.
00:45:57Oh.
00:45:58Oh, that sounds promising.
00:46:04Carson, I've been meaning...
00:46:05You lordship?
00:46:06Oh.
00:46:07Anna, you're back safely then?
00:46:08Yes.
00:46:10Thank you, my lord.
00:46:11And Mrs Patmore's fighting fit again.
00:46:14Fighting fits, the phrase.
00:46:17Is something the matter?
00:46:19I wanted to see your lordship because...
00:46:21Please.
00:46:25While I was in London, I learned something about Mr Bates.
00:46:31Not bad, I hope.
00:46:33No.
00:46:33Not bad at all.
00:46:35I'd have told Mr Carson, but...
00:46:37I thought you might like to hear it from me first.
00:46:40Go on.
00:46:42You see, I went to call on Mr Bates' mother.
00:46:50Oh, Brian.
00:46:52How long do you think it takes a lady's maid to settle in?
00:46:57Depends on the maiden lady.
00:47:00Of course it does.
00:47:03Oops.
00:47:04Sorry.
00:47:17The other half's under the bath.
00:47:19Never mind.
00:47:22I'll just go and sew.
00:47:23Take your clothes one minute.
00:47:25OK.
00:47:25Come on.
00:47:41Sarah O'Brien, this is not who you are.
00:47:46My lady, if you could just wait.
00:47:57The doctor's gone, your lordship, but he's coming back after dinner.
00:48:01Lady Mary's with her now.
00:48:06I don't suppose you'll want to change.
00:48:08But is there anything else I can do to be useful?
00:48:13It was a boy.
00:48:20I'm sorry, I don't mean to embarrass you.
00:48:23I'm not embarrassed.
00:48:26I just wish you could have been spared this.
00:48:28I know you do.
00:48:34By the way, Anna's told me what she learned in London.
00:48:37Has she?
00:48:39She's not told me.
00:48:41Oh.
00:48:43Well, the good news is you won't be leaving Downton.
00:48:48And I need some good news today.
00:49:03That poor wee babe.
00:49:07How's the lady shit doing?
00:49:09I'll take her up a tree in a minute, but I dare say she won't touch a bite.
00:49:14What about you, Miss O'Brien?
00:49:17What about me?
00:49:19Well, it must have been quite a shock.
00:49:21Yes.
00:49:22Yes, it was.
00:49:24I think you'd better dine with us, Mr Branson.
00:49:26We can't know if you might be needed later.
00:49:29Well, I'm to go for the doctor at ten.
00:49:34What a long-faced lot.
00:49:37Kindly show some respect.
00:49:39Come on, Mr Carson, she'll get over it.
00:49:41They're no bigger than a hamster at that stage.
00:49:44Will you shut up?
00:49:45I agree.
00:49:46What is the matter with you, Thomas?
00:49:48I don't know.
00:49:49I suppose all this makes me feel claustrophobic.
00:49:53I mean, I'm sorry.
00:49:54Of course I am.
00:49:54But why must we live through them?
00:49:56They're just our employers.
00:49:58They're not our flesh and blood.
00:49:59Thomas, don't be so all kind.
00:50:01Is there nothing left on earth that you respect?
00:50:05Look at him.
00:50:07Blimey, if he carries on like this for the unborn baby of a woman who scarcely knows his name.
00:50:11No wonder he fell to pieces when his old mum snuffed it.
00:50:17William!
00:50:18William!
00:50:21Thomas!
00:50:22William!
00:50:23Stop that! That is enough!
00:50:34Calm down!
00:50:47I just wanna have a pillow.
00:50:48Have I coming?
00:50:49I have a drink.
00:50:56I have a drink.
00:51:04I have a drink.
00:51:09I have a drink.
00:51:11I have a drink.
00:51:14I have a drink.
00:51:21Oh, Thomas.
00:51:26I've done as I promised.
00:51:28General Burton is commanding the division at Richmond.
00:51:31I think I may have a police there for you.
00:51:33And Colonel Cartwright, these are the papers.
00:51:37When you're ready, report to the local recruiting office,
00:51:40and they'll take it from there.
00:51:42As a matter of fact, I'm being drafted back in as a captain,
00:51:45so I'll try to keep an eye on you.
00:51:48That's very kind of you, Doctor.
00:51:49If there's any luck, there may be some advantage
00:51:51in your having volunteered so early.
00:51:56Oh, hang on a minute.
00:51:58Now give me yours and take this one at the same time.
00:52:00William, I'm sorry I've been so unkind to you lately.
00:52:02Oh, that's all right.
00:52:02No, it's not all right. I don't know why I said those things.
00:52:04Well, you're under an evil spell.
00:52:05I'm not under it any more.
00:52:06I'm glad.
00:52:07Friends?
00:52:08Always friends.
00:52:14I think we should start the ices now.
00:52:16If you agree, Mrs Patmore.
00:52:18Certainly, Mrs Bird.
00:52:20Oh, my Lord, listen to that.
00:52:23It's like the cry of a banshee.
00:52:26Mr Carson's telephone was ringing.
00:52:30But isn't someone going to answer it?
00:52:31I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten-foot pole.
00:52:34Well, I will then.
00:52:42No, Mr Carson's busy.
00:52:44But can I take a message?
00:52:49I wish ours was.
00:52:52I've got news, m'lady.
00:53:02Mr Bromwich has rung.
00:53:04You've done it, Gwen.
00:53:04You've got the job.
00:53:06You've got the ticket.
00:53:10Something to celebrate?
00:53:11Well, I've got the job, Mrs Hughes.
00:53:13But I'm a secretary.
00:53:15I'm for good.
00:53:15I'm very happy for you, Gwen.
00:53:17And we'll celebrate after we finish today's work.
00:53:20Of course, Mrs Hughes.
00:53:23I don't suppose that...
00:53:25Lady Sibyl.
00:53:27Her ladyship was asking after you.
00:53:37Be careful, my lad.
00:53:39Or you'll end up with no job and a broken heart.
00:53:42What do you mean?
00:53:51I don't seem to be able to find your sister.
00:53:53I wonder where she is.
00:53:55Of course, she may have been cornered.
00:53:57I know there was some old boar she was trying to dodge.
00:54:00Who was that?
00:54:01I'm not sure.
00:54:02He's simply ghastly, apparently.
00:54:04But he's promised to propose today.
00:54:06I can't tell you how funny she was when she acted it out.
00:54:09She ought to go on the stage.
00:54:10Really?
00:54:12Oh, how amusing.
00:54:16Well done, Mrs Hughes.
00:54:18Beautifully executed, as always.
00:54:20The key is in the planning.
00:54:22Mr Carson, this probably isn't the moment,
00:54:24but I've just heard from Dr Clarkson
00:54:26and I've been accepted for a training scheme
00:54:28for the Army Medical Corps.
00:54:29Have you indeed?
00:54:31Yes, and I want to do it,
00:54:32so I'll be handing in my notice.
00:54:33I'll serve out the month, of course.
00:54:35Thank you, Thomas.
00:54:36We can talk about it later.
00:54:41And you couldn't have planned that any better, either.
00:54:48You can't be leaving yet.
00:54:50I'm afraid I must.
00:54:52Please, make my excuses to your mother.
00:54:55But I...
00:55:26I wish you'd come inside, m'lady.
00:55:29No.
00:55:32People mustn't think I'm really ill.
00:55:36I don't want to cast a dampener on the party.
00:55:40Very well.
00:55:42But are you sure you have everything you need, m'lady?
00:55:50Dear O'Brien.
00:55:54How sweet you are.
00:56:03O'Brien.
00:56:04O'Brien.
00:56:06Can I have a word?
00:56:07I need a favour
00:56:08and I don't want to bother Lady Grantham with it.
00:56:10Certainly, m'lady.
00:56:12She's been helping me find a new maid
00:56:14and we've had quite a few answers from her advertisement.
00:56:17Can you find where she's put them
00:56:18and get Branson to bring them to the Dowerhouse?
00:56:21Her ladyship was helping you find a new lady's maid?
00:56:23Yes.
00:56:24We should have asked you, really.
00:56:27You might take a look at the letters if you have a minute.
00:56:30There's one we like the sound of
00:56:32who'd been trained in Paris.
00:56:36Do you know where she might have put them?
00:56:39The answers?
00:56:41Oh, yes, m'lady.
00:56:43There are only two or three places they could be.
00:56:45Oh.
00:56:46Thank you, O'Brien.
00:56:47You're a treasure.
00:56:54I didn't know a garden party was a spectator sport.
00:56:58Pretty, though, isn't it?
00:57:00Hard to believe the clouds are gathering on a summer's day like this.
00:57:04Mr Bates,
00:57:06I know you think I was wrong to call on your mother.
00:57:09I don't think that.
00:57:12She likes you, by the way.
00:57:15I had to find out the truth.
00:57:17But you see, you don't know the whole truth.
00:57:19Not even now.
00:57:20You know my mother's truth.
00:57:21But not your wife's.
00:57:25Where is she now?
00:57:27I couldn't tell you.
00:57:32I'd better get back.
00:57:39You here, Mr Molesy?
00:57:40I didn't know that.
00:57:41Just helping out.
00:57:44Nice girl, that Anna.
00:57:46Do you know if she's got anyone special in her life?
00:57:49I'd like to say she hasn't.
00:57:51I would, truly, but I'm afraid there is someone.
00:57:54Do you think he's keen on her, or is it worth a go?
00:57:57Well, he keeps himself to himself.
00:58:00It's very hard to read at times, but I'd say he's keen.
00:58:05I'd say he's very keen indeed.
00:58:10Daisy!
00:58:11I said ices, not iced cakes.
00:58:14Now unclog your ears and get these to William before they turn into soup.
00:58:21But I don't understand.
00:58:22Nothing's changed.
00:58:23Everything's changed.
00:58:25You can't be sure I was going to refuse you, even if it had been a boy.
00:58:28Because I'm not.
00:58:29That's the point.
00:58:30I can't be sure of you, or of anything, it seems.
00:58:34The last few weeks have taught me that.
00:58:36But you can't leave Downton.
00:58:38I can't stay.
00:58:39Not now.
00:58:41What will you tell Papa?
00:58:43That I'm grateful for what he's trying to do.
00:58:46That the experiment is at an end.
00:58:49I'm not a puppet.
00:58:50I must take charge of my own life again.
00:58:53Would you have stayed, if I'd accepted you?
00:58:59Of course.
00:59:02So I've ruined everything.
00:59:05You've shown me I've been living in a dream.
00:59:08And it's time to return to real life.
00:59:12Wish me luck with it, Mary.
00:59:13Mary, God knows I wish the best for you.
00:59:31Well, Rosamund, I'm afraid your meddling has cost Mary the only decent offer she'll ever get.
00:59:38I'm sorry, Mama, but you know me.
00:59:40I have to say what I think.
00:59:42Why?
00:59:44Nobody else does.
00:59:56Are you quite well, my lady?
00:59:58Of course.
01:00:00You know me, Carson.
01:00:03I'm never down for long.
01:00:12I know you have spirit, my lady.
01:00:15That's what counts.
01:00:17It's all that counts in the end.
01:00:23There, there.
01:00:26So Mary is to be denied her countess's coronet, after all.
01:00:31Don't crow at me.
01:00:32I think she was very foolish not to take him when she could.
01:00:35But I told her so.
01:00:37Well, if I'm perfectly honest, I wonder if Matthew isn't making the same mistake right now.
01:00:47Are you warm enough?
01:00:50I am when you're holding my hand.
01:00:53Your lordship, this has just arrived for you.
01:00:57Oh, and I'm happy to tell you that Thomas has just handed in his notice.
01:01:01So we'll be spared any unpleasantness on that score.
01:01:04What a relief.
01:01:20Please, would you stop, please?
01:01:22My lords, ladies and gentlemen.
01:01:25Can I ask for silence?
01:01:30Because I very much regret to announce that we are at war with Germany.
