00:28To be continued...
00:30...in the Hamptons for the summer.
00:31Ah, I think she could be pregnant.
00:33Golly, why do you say that?
00:35She says I might be back in August, but it's a bit early to say.
00:38As usual, you add two and two and make fifty-three.
00:41Busy day.
00:42Granny's asked me to look in later.
00:43It'll be about the hospital business. Have you told Mama?
00:46To be honest, Granny said not to.
00:48You're mad if you don't. She's a trustee. She belongs there.
00:51Not all the trustees can be at every meeting.
00:54And I want to see if there's some way to sort it out before there's blood on the carpet.
00:58What is it?
00:58There's a man downstairs, my lady. Mr. Finch is here to see the agent.
01:02I'll see him.
01:03I suggested that, but he said he doesn't want to bother you or his lordship.
01:06Just the agent.
01:08Wait ten minutes and show him into the library.
01:10Very good, my lady.
01:11You'll have to manage him.
01:12I've got some errands to run, and I promised I'd meet Granny at eleven.
01:16I want to be left to manage him. It's my job.
01:20How are preparations for the wedding coming along?
01:22Slowly but surely, my lord.
01:24We've settled a date with Mr. Travis, and now we have to decide where to hold the reception.
01:29What there is of one.
01:30Well, here, of course.
01:31Absolutely.
01:32We can decorate the servants' hall and make it look really special.
01:36That's kind, my lord.
01:37As I say, we haven't yet made the decision.
01:40Don't forget poor Mr. Finch.
01:45Honestly, Papa, we'll decorate the servants' hall.
01:48Surely we can do a little better than that.
01:50What do you mean?
01:51I don't want to discuss it now in a rush.
01:53We'll have a proper conversation later.
02:01I know it's cheating, but I think I might get a jar of horseradish.
02:04It really isn't bad now.
02:06It's not like you.
02:07True.
02:07Well, we could use it in sandwiches and such without having to go through the whole palaver.
02:11Can I borrow some soda, Mrs. Patmore?
02:13Borrow?
02:13So you'll give it back?
02:16Any more news on Mr. Mason?
02:18Not only that he's losing home and livelihood, and it's all my fault.
02:21I'm sure that's not true.
02:22Yes, it is.
02:22I caused it.
02:23If it weren't for my big mouth, he might have had a reprieve.
02:26That's not what Miss Baxter says.
02:27She wasn't there.
02:28Have you finished your order list?
02:29I'll send them out this afternoon.
02:31I'll take a walk for Mr. Bakewell, if you like.
02:32We're going into the village later when I'm free.
02:34That's kind.
02:35I think I'll walk down to the home farm myself.
02:38I'll join you.
02:40We'll be back by 12.
02:42Right you are.
02:45I'm sorry I'm a letdown, Mr. Finch.
02:48Not a letdown, milady.
02:49I wouldn't say that.
02:50Only, I need to discuss the estate's entries this year in the fat stock show at Moulton.
02:54You won't want to be bothered with it.
02:56I thought all the fat stock shows took place before Christmas.
02:58They do, usually.
03:00This is an experiment.
03:01And you've come to discuss it with Mr. Branson?
03:03I know that's not possible, milady, but if you could just tell me who's replaced him.
03:07Hold on to your hat, Mr. Finch, but I'm afraid I have.
03:12I see.
03:13I've been working with Mr. Branson for some years, and now I intend to manage myself with
03:17his lordship.
03:18Well, it's a changing world.
03:20It certainly is.
03:22We're anxious the show shouldn't be a letdown, milady, so we're really hoping for a decent
03:25entry from the abbey.
03:26We did well with the pigs in the other fat stock shows, so let me discuss it with our
03:30pig man.
03:31You see, these shows don't have the buzz of a county show, but a decent turnout from the
03:35surviving estates means they're taken seriously.
03:38The key word being surviving.
03:42Decorate the servants' hall.
03:44I'm not sure how enticing that sounds.
03:46It was men kindly.
03:47I dare say.
03:49What would you like us to do?
03:51If I'm honest, I'd like to get away for the day.
03:54Find somewhere local, where we can throw our own party instead of a gathering by courtesy
03:59of the Crawley family.
04:00You do mean to invite them?
04:02Of course I do.
04:03Why, did you think you would have to get married without Lady Mary to witness it?
04:08She's an important figure in my life, Mrs. Hughes.
04:10I won't apologise.
04:11Nor do you have to.
04:13I just don't want to be a servant on my wedding day.
04:16Is that so wrong?
04:18What should I tell his lordship?
04:20Tell him thank you, but no.
04:27This seems very formal.
04:29The Royal Yorkshire has written to all our financial donors to canvass their support for
04:33the takeover.
04:34Which you'll agree is very sneaky.
04:37I think it's sensible.
04:38The principal benefit of the new arrangement will be to make our money-raising activities
04:42more coherent and logical.
04:44Well, there's no government funding available, either to them or to us.
04:47Which means we'll become a ward of the larger establishment.
04:50While the local community forfeit any claims to being treated in their own village.
04:55Well, that depends on how we divide the new departments.
04:57In the end, surely, it comes down to how many lives we'll be saved.
05:01Precisely.
05:02Lord Grantham, are you saying we don't save lives?
05:03Of course not.
05:04If you can't say anything helpful, Robert, please be silent.
05:07Helpful to whom?
05:08And why isn't Cora here?
05:09It doesn't concern her.
05:10I am the president, you are the almoner, Dr Clarkson runs the hospital, and Robert is
05:15the patron.
05:16And his father gave the land on which the hospital is built.
05:19The four of us constitute a quorum.
05:21I disagree.
05:23Tell her about this meeting, and when you do, say that Cousin Violet would have kept
05:27the rest of us away if she could.
05:29Don't give me ideas.
05:30I suppose you've settled into the routine by this time.
05:33I think so.
05:34I like it here.
05:34It's quite a change from Bayswater.
05:36It's a change that suits me.
05:38In fact, I've been getting to know the estate when I got a bit of time off.
05:40I thought I'd have a look at the woods north of the lake, Nick.
05:42I'll come with you, if you like.
05:44No, you're all right.
05:45I like to walk on my own, if I'm honest.
05:47I agree with you, Andy.
05:48It's very liberating.
05:49If you say so.
05:52Mr Carson, I don't suppose there's any more news on when you'll be serving notice?
05:56Nobody is going to be flung into the road, I can assure you.
05:59No.
06:00But I mean, should I start looking for another job?
06:03How could it hurt?
06:10At least you know you won't be asked to leave until you've got somewhere to go.
06:13I don't know anything of the sort.
06:14But you heard him.
06:15No, what I heard is that I'm for the chop, and they won't wait forever to make it come true.
06:30Mr Dawes.
06:31Mr Morsley.
06:32Might have a word.
06:34There's no point in shouting at me, Mr Skinner.
06:36I want what you want.
06:38A magazine people like to read.
06:41I don't understand why you're so angry.
06:44I'm simply making suggestions.
06:47Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.
06:49I will be up tomorrow so we can talk about it then.
06:52But please, try and keep calm until I get there.
06:55Goodbye.
06:59We should finish up.
07:00The children will be here in a minute.
07:02Who was it?
07:03Mr Skinner.
07:04In his usual form.
07:06He hates my ideas for the editorial.
07:08He hates my suggestions for interviews.
07:10And he hates the new photographs we've commissioned.
07:12Sounds as if he hates running your magazine.
07:14He hates me.
07:15Let's leave it at that.
07:16I'll have to go up to London, which is a nuisance.
07:19There you are.
07:20How did the meeting go?
07:21Dr Clarkson wants to win your mother over to Granite's team.
07:24And will he?
07:25I don't believe so.
07:26I suppose he likes being his own boss.
07:28And who can blame him?
07:29Is that fair?
07:30It's always been a huge plus that we have our own hospital.
07:33And he wants to retain it.
07:34So, whose side are you on?
07:36I wish I didn't have to decide.
07:39Ah, look who's there.
07:41Who's there?
07:42How was your day?
07:43I never asked what that man was here for this morning.
07:46Moulton is holding a late fat stock show this year.
07:48That seems rather small beer.
07:50Is it worth the bother?
07:51I think so.
07:52Two of the pigs are proven winners after all.
07:54I'm going to look at them tomorrow.
07:56Can we come?
07:57I don't see why not.
07:58I'll tell Nanny.
08:00You want to take them to the Drew's farm?
08:02You can come with us if you like.
08:05But is it a good idea?
08:07Is it safe?
08:08Don't be such a ninny.
08:09I've said you can come if you want.
08:11It'll be nice for them to see Marigold.
08:13But I have to be in London now.
08:16I'll go.
08:18I'm sure it'll be fine.
08:19We'll all look at the pigs.
08:20Then we'll come home.
08:30Are you on your own?
08:31Looks like it.
08:33I've got something for you.
08:35Oh yes, what's that then?
08:37You know, I went into the village earlier.
08:38I looked in at the school while I was there.
08:40Go on.
08:41Spoke to the headmaster about your examination.
08:43Well, about examinations in general, really.
08:46Anyway, he suggested, before we fix a date,
08:51you might like to go at some old papers from the last few years.
08:55You mean real exams at people, sir?
08:59That was kind of you.
09:01Oh, don't thank me.
09:02You took me through them.
09:03In fact, it was really rather interesting.
09:07I just wish Mr Mason was settled.
09:09Well, if you pass your exams, you'll be in a better place to help him.
09:12Maybe.
09:12Well, first I've got to make them listen.
09:15A ladyship was there, and she tried to calm the new owner down,
09:18so she must be sympathetic.
09:20Daisy, we're servants.
09:21I have to do something.
09:27Is anything the matter?
09:29No?
09:32I mean, you're free.
09:35Bates is free.
09:36The threat's gone away.
09:37I'd expect you to be wreathed in smiles,
09:40but instead you seem rather cast down.
09:43Life's never simple, is it, milady?
09:45You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
09:49It's almost funny, really,
09:51given the service I once performed for you.
09:55You know, Mr Bates and I have always wanted children.
09:58And you'll have some now, I'm sure.
10:02No, I won't.
10:05It seems I can't.
10:07Anna,
10:09no woman living has been put through more of an emotional wringer than you.
10:14It doesn't surprise me in the least that you haven't got pregnant before now.
10:17But that's the point.
10:18I can get pregnant.
10:19I just can't keep it.
10:21And how many times has this happened?
10:24Two, maybe three.
10:26Well, I still say your life has been so filled with stress and worry.
10:30It's all right, milady.
10:32I'm used to the idea.
10:34Some women can't have children, and I'm one of them.
10:38Now, if that will be all.
10:41Yes, thank you.
10:57Hello.
10:58Do you post your own letters?
11:00Ha!
11:01It was vital it went off today,
11:03and I'm not a very good at delegation.
11:06As a matter of fact,
11:07if I'm glad to see you,
11:08I'd value your advice.
11:11I've had a letter from the Royal Yorkshire Hospital
11:13asking if I'd head the new board of charitable donors.
11:16We'd be working alongside.
11:18Well, that's if I stay the arm in a...
11:20once we've amalgamated.
11:21Well, of course you would.
11:23When we combine,
11:24we'll avoid duplicating our efforts.
11:25The whole thing would work a lot more efficiently than it does now.
11:28So you don't disagree with the plan?
11:30Well, don't you see what it could mean?
11:32How old is our X-ray machine?
11:35Does Clarkson really know how to use it?
11:37What advanced surgery do we offer?
11:39None.
11:40If the family at the Abbey has a cut finger,
11:42they go to London.
11:43But what about everyone else?
11:45I bet you'd go to London, too.
11:47I probably would.
11:48But I shouldn't have to.
11:50And what about people who don't have that option?
11:52So the battle lines are drawn,
11:54and now we must fight it out.
11:55Well, I'm glad we're to be allies.
11:58I must be going.
12:00I assume old Lady Grantham is still bitterly opposed?
12:03Of course.
12:04So there'll be wigs on the green before we're done.
12:07So be it.
12:08Wigs on the green it is.
12:16Four days is in a terrible state about Mr. Mason losing his farm.
12:20Don't blame her.
12:21It's a beautiful place, and he's a lovely man.
12:23She seems to think that her ladyship might want to help.
12:26I don't see how.
12:27I mean, they like Mr. Mason, but what can they do?
12:29The way she talks, they didn't much take to the new owners.
12:35But do you think you could ask?
12:37I'll tell her Daisy's worried, but I can't do more than that.
12:41Better get on.
12:45I shouldn't get involved.
12:46No.
12:47Then you don't like to get involved in helping others, do you?
12:50I'm trying to help you.
12:53Anything interesting?
12:54Is this interesting?
12:56Assistant butler, varied duties start at once.
12:59Then there's a Rippon number.
13:00Oh, would be nice if you didn't have to move too far away.
13:03Nice for whom?
13:05You won't let me be fond of you, will you?
13:07No matter what I do.
13:08Did I leave a tin of oil in here?
13:09I put it on the mantelpiece.
13:12Mr. Carson wants me to wind the clocks.
13:15I have an idea the one in the tapestry room needs a bit of extra love and care.
13:18I used to wind the clocks.
13:19Do you want some help?
13:20Don't worry, Mr. Barrow.
13:22I looked after the clocks in my last place.
13:28What's an assistant butler when it's at home, anyway?
13:30That's what I'd like to know.
13:39Well, they're big enough.
13:41They're good animals, my lady.
13:42They've done well, and they will again at Moulton.
13:45Hey, Miss Marigold.
13:47Does Lady Edith know you're here?
13:49She would have come herself, but she's in London.
13:52So, you're happy to enter them for the show?
13:54Very happy.
13:56Where's Mrs. Drew?
13:57She's gone into town, but she'll be back soon.
13:59We should probably get home.
14:01Well, there's no great rush.
14:02Won't Mrs. Drew want to see Marigold?
14:03Well, er...
14:04Yes, I would.
14:06That's kind of you, my lady.
14:09I'd love to look at her.
14:11Hello.
14:15You remember me?
14:16Of course she remembers you.
14:17Don't you, darling?
14:18It's been so nice, but I think we ought to get them back for their luncheon.
14:22Back to the big house for luncheon.
14:28Let her go, Marjorie.
14:32We mustn't hold them up.
14:36That's it, my love.
14:37You come with me.
14:38Back to your auntie.
14:39Good.
14:40Well, I'll send a note to Mr. Finch in the afternoon.
14:44Thank you, Mr. Drew.
14:47I hope that's the last time anyone calls me auntie.
14:52Right.
14:53Back to work.
14:58Mr. Carson.
15:00I wonder if I could have some time off this afternoon.
15:04For an interview.
15:05Interview?
15:05What?
15:06For a job?
15:07Yes.
15:08It's quite local.
15:09Rothley Manor, near Ripon.
15:10I telephoned, and they said to look in today.
15:13You don't let the grass grow, I must say.
15:16So I can go?
15:17Be my guest.
15:19Thank you, Mr. Carson.
15:24Good luck.
15:25If I was lucky, I wouldn't be leaving.
15:29Did the children like the pigs?
15:30They loved them.
15:31Drew was as proud as punch showing them off.
15:34Was Mrs. Drew there?
15:35She came just before we left, and she enjoyed seeing Marigold, didn't she, Mama?
15:39She was quite overcome.
15:41Yes.
15:41I think she was very pleased.
15:43Is that luncheon?
15:45Carson.
15:47When Papa offered to decorate the servants' hall, he wasn't really thinking.
15:51If you'd like your reception to be here, we can hold it in the hall, or whichever room you choose.
15:56That's very kind of you, my lady.
15:58Not a bit.
15:59We'd be delighted, wouldn't we, Papa?
16:01But you must feel free to refuse.
16:03There's not much chance of that.
16:05Speak to Mrs. Hughes.
16:06She may feel differently.
16:07Why should she?
16:07She just may.
16:08That's always her wedding.
16:10Shall we go in?
16:13Of course, I'd have been very happy in the servants' hall, my lord.
16:17Don't worry, Carson.
16:18There's no point even pretending that we can argue with Lady Mary.
16:22Either of us.
16:31This isn't right.
16:33Give me a moment.
16:34Are we fine?
16:35I mean, it's not right for you to cry alone.
16:38You're married, and that means you never have to cry alone again.
16:44I told Lady Mary last night.
16:47She was kind, of course, but it just brought it all back.
16:52Have you ever thought about adoption?
16:58Yes, but I don't believe it would work for you.
17:02You're tribal, Mr. Bates.
17:04And the tribe doesn't have a lot of members.
17:07You want your own child.
17:09No substitute will do.
17:10But what do you want?
17:13See?
17:15You gave yourself away by not denying it.
17:19We must learn to be content as we are.
17:22Which is easy for me.
17:24But it's my fault, not yours, that I can't give you what you need.
17:28To me, we are one person.
17:30And that person can't have children.
17:37I love you.
17:40I love you.
17:52Are you sure that you think I have such difficulty hearing what I am saying?
17:57It's drier than they said it would be in the newspapers.
17:59Yes.
17:59It's brightening up, isn't it?
18:03Let's go.
18:04We'll have lunch, and then you can come back.
18:06There's no point.
18:10What a terrible man.
18:11He didn't sound very conciliatory.
18:13The truth is, I've come up to London to have my nose bitten off.
18:16And that's not all.
18:18On our telephone.
18:19Mary took Marigold to the Drew's farm today.
18:21I knew she was planning it.
18:23Well, why didn't you stop her?
18:24Well, how?
18:25George was aching to see the pigs, and what possible reason could I give for stopping Marigold?
18:30Well, you could have said it would upset Mrs. Drew.
18:32But wouldn't Mary have wondered why I was making such a thing of it?
18:35You're going to have to tell her one day.
18:36I don't see why.
18:40How's Granny?
18:41Embarking on a civil war.
18:42They want to change the way they run the local hospital.
18:45Change?
18:46Mama won't like that.
18:47She's in one camp with Dr. Clarkson, who isn't a fan either, and Isabel's in the other.
18:51And your parents?
18:53Mama agrees with Isabel.
18:54Papa doesn't want to take sides.
18:56Well, if I know Granny, he'll have to.
19:11So, you're under butler at Downton Abbey.
19:14Yes, I've been there for a long time.
19:16I first arrived as a junior footman about 15 years ago.
19:19Another world.
19:20So it seems.
19:21Of course, I was away at the war in the middle of that.
19:23And why are you leaving now?
19:25It seems like the right time for a move.
19:27Does it?
19:28Does it indeed?
19:30Tell me, Mr. Moore, what exactly is an assistant butler?
19:34I'm not familiar with the term.
19:36No, well, we made it up.
19:37Ah, so the duties of an assistant butler are not the same as an under butler.
19:41I think you have to climb down from that high horse, Mr. Barrow.
19:44This is 1925.
19:46We'd need you to combine the duties of a footman, when needed, and a chauffeur.
19:51There's no chauffeur.
19:51Well, they drive themselves most of the time, but should they need a chauffeur for evening
19:55parties and the like, that'd be you.
19:58I see.
19:59Well, I can drive, just about.
20:02Is that all?
20:03And you know how to valet?
20:04Goodness, this is a job for a one-man band.
20:07You're a delicate-looking fellow, aren't you?
20:10I wouldn't say that.
20:12Are you married?
20:13No.
20:13Why would that be?
20:14Did the right girl never come along?
20:16I think you know that.
20:18Not many footmen or butlers are married.
20:20Oh, well, they didn't used to be.
20:22But I am.
20:24All right, Mr. Barrow, I've got enough.
20:27We'll let you know.
20:31How did the visit go?
20:32Well, George wants to be a pig farmer when he grows up.
20:35And Mr. Drew's well?
20:37He's so proud of his animals.
20:40Was Mrs. Drew there?
20:41You're full of questions.
20:44To be honest, she was quite upset at seeing Marigold again.
20:48I thought it would be a nice gesture, but perhaps I was being insensitive.
20:52When a woman loves a child, it must stay with her.
20:55I suppose so.
20:58That reminds me.
21:01You know what you told me last night?
21:03Yes.
21:06I want you to let me help.
21:09That's so nice, milady, thank you.
21:12But there's nothing to be done.
21:13That's not true.
21:14Well, that's not necessarily true.
21:16I think you've forgotten that when I was first married, I couldn't get pregnant either.
21:21Yes, but you see, I can...
21:22Listen.
21:22So I went to a Dr. Ryder in Harley Street.
21:25He found I needed a tiny operation.
21:27I had it, and George is the result.
21:29I don't think there's any point...
21:30There's no point in thinking.
21:32You don't know.
21:33Now, I'm going to take you up to London.
21:35We'll meet Dr. Ryder and listen to what he has to say.
21:37Then we'll see.
21:38But what would that cost?
21:40I couldn't accept it from you.
21:42Don't be silly.
21:42You've earned it fair and square.
21:44Keeping my secrets.
21:45Hiding that fearful Dutch thingamajig.
21:48Carrying poor Mr. Pamuk down the gallery at the dead of night.
21:53We have had our moments, haven't we, milady?
21:55We certainly have.
21:57And this is our next moment.
21:59I'll telephone and make an appointment.
22:03I do appreciate it.
22:05It won't work, but that's not the point.
22:09Nobody in my whole life has been kinder to me than you have.
22:11Except for Mr. Bates.
22:14Except for Mr. Bates.
22:16I'm glad that's settled.
22:18Will you tell him?
22:19Not yet.
22:21He'd help too much.
22:22But later, if anything comes of it.
22:27But how?
22:28I'd be surprised if Mr. Henderson was particularly anxious to renew our acquaintance.
22:33Can Sir John Downey put in a word?
22:34I'm sure, but the new owners won't take orders from him.
22:38Madderton is theirs now.
22:39They'll do as they think fit.
22:41So I'll tell Daisy not to speak to you about it.
22:43I don't like anyone to feel they can't approach me if they want to.
22:46But I'm not convinced I can help.
22:49Whom can't you help?
22:50Mr. Mason.
22:51I don't think I can.
22:53No.
22:58What were you not saying about your visit to the Drews?
23:02Only that Mrs. Drew has definitely not cut over Marigold.
23:05No?
23:06No.
23:06She looked as if she wanted to swallow her whole.
23:09How clever was it to take the child there in the first place?
23:11Mary made the plan.
23:13There was no way to cancel it.
23:15I wish Edith would just tell her.
23:17Oh, she thinks Mary would use it as a weapon and she may be right.
23:23If only the Drews would move away and find a tenancy elsewhere.
23:26Why would they?
23:27They've been at Utrey for more than a century.
23:29That woman will not forget Marigold while the girl is under her nose.
23:32I don't mind talking to Drew, but I doubt it'll do much good.
23:42Did the interview go well?
23:43Not very.
23:46Never mind.
23:47Something will turn up.
23:48But not this one.
23:49They wanted me to be a chauffeur, a footman and a valet.
23:53Combined.
23:54For all I know, I'd have to cook and do the gardening to the bargain.
23:57I suppose none of that was reflected in the money.
23:59What's it, Decker's like?
24:00They pay for one serving and you want a whole bleeding household thrown in.
24:06I don't understand why you bother with him.
24:08I know you don't.
24:10So I can't speak to her ladyship?
24:12She didn't say that.
24:13She just said she didn't think she could help.
24:14I'd like to hear it from her lips, otherwise I'll feel I've done nothing except make things worse.
24:19Well then ask her.
24:20But don't be angry with her.
24:21It's not her ladyship's fault.
24:23Maybe not, but it's the system's fault.
24:25That's what makes me angry.
24:27The system and she's part of it.
24:37I do not understand why any form of compromise is beyond him.
24:41You wanted a strong editor.
24:42But I didn't want to find myself in a ball ring with a tiller the hun.
24:47Thank you, William.
24:55Oh!
24:56Mary's coming tomorrow.
24:58What does she want?
24:58She has an appointment in Harley Street and she needs some clothes.
25:01I ought to do some shopping while I'm here.
25:03I haven't had anything new in ages.
25:05Why not go shopping together?
25:06With Mary?
25:08Not likely.
25:09That was a delicious dinner.
25:11Oh, I have a new cook.
25:12She won't stay.
25:13The good ones never do.
25:14But we shall eat well until she goes.
25:18What have you decided to do about your flat?
25:20I think I'm going to keep it empty and see if I get any use out of it.
25:24Why aren't you there now?
25:25I should be.
25:25I suppose the truth is I've never lived alone and I'm not convinced I'll be much good at it.
25:31The wearer of being too good at it.
25:33That's the danger of living alone.
25:36It can be very hard to give up.
25:38It's not that I'm ungrateful.
25:40I am grateful.
25:41I think it's very kind.
25:43But you don't want to accept.
25:45This is a beautiful house.
25:47And whether we're in the great hall or the drawing room or whatever, it would all be very splendid.
25:53So what's the problem?
25:54It's not us.
25:56It's not who we are.
25:58It may be where we work, but it is not who we are.
26:01Well, being in the schoolhouse would be.
26:03It doesn't have to be the schoolhouse if you don't like it.
26:06But yes, if we take a neutral place and decorate it the way we want and put in the flowers
26:13we like, it would be about us.
26:15In a way, the great hall of Downton Abbey never can be.
26:20And I have to tell his lordship.
26:22I will, if you don't want to.
26:24No, no, no, I'll do it.
26:26It should be me.
26:32Do you know when you'll be back?
26:33Tomorrow or the next day, I expect.
26:35What does she have planned?
26:37Oh, you know, some shopping.
26:39One at her appointments.
26:41Well, try and put your feet up.
26:44Yes, I'll be putting my feet up.
26:47I think a bit of a break will do you good.
26:50And give my regards to Mr. Mead.
26:53You're right.
26:54It may do me good.
26:55It won't do any harm, anyway.
27:08So what do we owe this honour?
27:10I must look in at the church.
27:13And I'm seeing Dr. Clarkson and my ma at the hospital later on.
27:16I've mentioned it to Isabel, so I hope she's there, too.
27:19Is that wise?
27:20I think so.
27:21At least she's an ally I can rely on.
27:24Even if I can't rely on you.
27:25I didn't tell you about the meeting.
27:27What time's your train?
27:28Half past nine.
27:29Bags of time.
27:30Carson, have you broken the news to Mrs. Hughes?
27:32What news is this?
27:34Where they're having the wedding reception.
27:35I hope she's pleased.
27:37To be honest, my lady, she's a little hesitant.
27:40She's not quite convinced that it would be appropriate.
27:42Why not?
27:43She feels we would be making a claim to which we have no right.
27:47Carson, you've worked in this house man and boy for half a century.
27:50If you've no right to be married from here, then who does?
27:53Mrs. Hughes sees it differently.
27:54You leave Mrs. Hughes to me.
27:55Don't worry, Carson.
27:56Your reception will be in the Great Hall if it's the last thing I do.
28:00How reassuring, my lady.
28:02How very reassuring.
28:05We wanted you to see the ward.
28:07Now it's been repainted.
28:09Much brighter, isn't it?
28:10Very nice.
28:11Doctor.
28:13He's done this with me, my dear.
28:15Now you'll be paraded past every element of treatment.
28:19Surgical, palliative, you name it.
28:20Oh.
28:21And what are you trying to add?
28:22I don't want Cousin Cora to feel outnumbered.
28:24It is friendly, you know, to stir her up into opposition.
28:27It's not very friendly to squash her into submission either.
28:30Excuse me, but I don't need to be stirred or squashed.
28:33The facts speak for themselves.
28:34Your facts are mine.
28:35What's the difference?
28:36Mine are the true facts.
28:38Should we continue this in my office?
28:47I wish we could persuade you to help us stem the tide of change.
28:51I'm just not convinced it's the right way forward, to go backward.
28:54I do not understand you, my dear.
28:57Are you saying Dr. Clarkson is a bad doctor?
28:59Certainly not.
29:00And the other doctors that use our hospital, are they no good either?
29:03I'm sure everyone does their very best, but there are new methods now, new treatments,
29:07new machines.
29:08Great advances have been made since the war.
29:11Can't we share in them?
29:12Hear, hear.
29:12Of course.
29:13I intend that we should.
29:14But we haven't got the money.
29:16I see I'm not needed to lend you strength.
29:18You're fully in command of the argument.
29:19Have you no pride in what we have achieved with our hospital?
29:23I don't think pride comes into it.
29:25Well, I warn you, Dr. Clarkson, and I will fight to the last ditch.
29:28I just want what's best for the village.
29:30Well, at least we have that in common.
29:32I must go.
29:34Mama, Isabel.
29:35I'll come with you.
29:37We must give them time to lash their teeth alone.
29:43I can't deny it.
29:45Lady Granson would have made a powerful ally.
29:47I hope you're not implying she would be more powerful than I.
29:51Oh, no, indeed.
29:52Oh.
29:54Are you ordering me to leave?
29:55Of course not.
29:56But the fact remains, this is a difficult situation.
29:59Why did they bring her here?
30:00Why didn't Lady Edith stop it?
30:02She couldn't.
30:03She was away.
30:05Where's Mrs. Drew now?
30:07She's collecting the children from school.
30:09We're all right.
30:12I wish we were all right.
30:14Nobody wishes it more than I do.
30:16But her ladyship worries that Mrs. Drew simply cannot stand being so near the child.
30:23Don't push us out, my lord.
30:26We've been here since before Waterloo.
30:28I'm not pushing anyone anywhere.
30:32I want Lady Edith to be happy.
30:34I want Miss Marigold to be happy.
30:36And as a matter of fact, I would like your wife to be happy, too.
30:39I can manage her.
30:41I promise.
30:42Very well.
30:43If you're sure you can.
30:45I am sure.
30:46Then we'll leave it at that.
31:02Did you manage to raise the subject?
31:05His lordship brought it up.
31:06How did he take it when you refused?
31:11You didn't refuse, did you?
31:13It was difficult.
31:15Lady Mary feels that it's only right that my marriage is celebrated in the house.
31:20And heaven forfend, we lowly folks should do anything to contradict the blessed Lady Mary.
31:26That's not like you.
31:27It is very like me.
31:29I want my own wedding to be done in my own way.
31:32Is that so outlandish?
31:34It's my wedding, too.
31:35But I am the bride.
31:36We'll be doing it your way for the next thirty years.
31:39I know that well enough.
31:40But the wedding day is mine.
31:55What is it?
31:56Your ladyship.
31:56Might Daisy have a word with you?
31:58No.
31:59She's just outside.
32:01Very well.
32:06Thank you for seeing me, Milady.
32:08I'm happy to, Daisy.
32:09But I must tell you right off, there's nothing more I can do.
32:13I just can't bear it.
32:15For our William's dad to be thrown out of his farm when it's all my fault.
32:19To start with, I don't think it is your fault.
32:21Mr. Henderson was angry, but he wouldn't change his plans for that.
32:24And the truth is, they are taking a lot of the estate in hand.
32:28But Mr. Mason's not young, and it needs someone that knows him.
32:32I'm sure he has a fine reputation, and Sir John Darnley will help.
32:35He's got all the dead stock with everything in top shape.
32:37Any estate will be lucky to have him.
32:40And he'd be happy to start anew.
32:42It's a big undertaking.
32:43Why?
32:45Have you thought of something?
32:47You've had an idea, haven't you?
32:48Probably not.
32:50Or maybe.
32:51I'll let you know if anything comes of it.
32:53Thank you, Your Ladyship.
33:00It's no mystery, Mrs. Bates.
33:02You suffer from cervical incompetence.
33:04To put it plainly, the neck of the womb is weak,
33:06and as the fetus reaches three or four months,
33:08it becomes too heavy to be supported.
33:09So it's not unusual?
33:10It's bad luck, but not unusual.
33:13And you can treat it?
33:14Certainly.
33:15The procedure is called cervical circlage.
33:16It's been in use for more than 20 years.
33:18Go on.
33:19I would insert a stitch, quite a large one, in the neck of the womb.
33:23Is it painful?
33:24It's quite quick.
33:25But it works.
33:26I'm afraid I can't make a blanket promise.
33:28It works in many cases.
33:30And when would you do it?
33:32At about 12 weeks.
33:33I'd normally come to your house and perform it there.
33:35Then you can rest afterwards without the nuisance of travel.
33:38I wouldn't go to hospital.
33:39Oh, no.
33:40No, it's not worth it.
33:43Well, you've given me a lot to think about, Doctor.
33:47When do you return north?
33:48In the morning.
33:49Then I leave it to you to get in touch,
33:51if and when you next become pregnant, Mrs. Bates.
33:55I'm afraid Drew won't leave.
33:57I can't pretend I really blame him.
33:59But I don't believe the problem will go away, either.
34:02Edith telephoned before I came up.
34:04It seems her editor continues to be a nightmare, too.
34:07What did she say when she's coming back?
34:09She and Mary are catching the same train tomorrow, 11 o'clock.
34:12Travelling together.
34:13Heavens to Betsy.
34:16But I'm glad Mary's coming straight back.
34:18As it is, she'll only have two days to get the pigs ready for the show.
34:21Well, don't worry.
34:22It's only a fat stock show, and they're pretty low-key.
34:25Two days is more than enough.
34:27Still, I'm glad she's doing it.
34:28These things remind the farming community that we're all on the same side.
34:32I wish we could remind your mother that we're on the same side.
34:35I don't think the rule applies to Mama.
34:37She's a Lauren to herself.
34:39Don't we know it.
34:43I will do.
34:46Right.
34:47As you're all aware, this is the day of the Molten show.
34:49There'll be no upstairs luncheon, and you're all free to visit the show if you wish.
34:55The Waggoners will leave from the stable yard at ten.
34:57Is there a lunch we're serving at?
34:58No, they're guests of Lord Mextra.
35:00Then I don't think I'll bother.
35:01It's only a muddy little affair.
35:03Oh, no, you should come.
35:04I think it'll be fun.
35:11You're full of the joys of spring.
35:12Am I?
35:13I was right about London.
35:14You've been very bouncy since you got back.
35:16It did you good?
35:17It did.
35:18Now let me get on.
35:19I'll see you down here just before ten.
35:20How long can we stay there?
35:21Good question.
35:22I must have staff to serve tea in case they want it.
35:25I could do that.
35:26I don't think so.
35:27Andrew, Mr Molesley, make sure you're here by a quarter bus four.
35:30Then when do you need me, Mr Carson?
35:31Well, indeed.
36:03You made it, then.
36:05Did you think I wouldn't?
36:06No.
36:11Well, they're all here, then.
36:13You knew they would be.
36:14Come on.
36:20Never mind.
36:21You want to come and see Lady Mary showing off her pigs?
36:23In a minute.
36:27Here, let me show you.
36:29Don't worry, Mr Barrow.
36:30It's not my game.
36:31I'd better go.
36:32Don't worry, miss those pigs.
36:35You're not a quick learner, are you?
36:37I don't know what you mean, Mrs Patmore.
36:39I'm only thinking of you.
36:41Just be sensible, for heaven's sake.
36:43Does it ever occur to you that just this once you might be wrong?
36:51Well done, my lady.
36:52You look as if you're born to it.
36:54Not a compliment to everyone's taste, Mr Finch, but it is to mine.
36:57It's funny to see Lady Mary in there with the pigs.
37:00No, I think it does her proud.
37:02I agree.
37:02People might think she's a pretend farmer, but she's not.
37:05I hope things are beginning to settle down for you, Mr Mason.
37:08Settle down?
37:08You're beginning to break apart, more like.
37:10Don't say it.
37:11Only poor Daisy can hardly work.
37:13She's been so worried about you.
37:14Nay, Daisy, you can't let Woody put you off your work.
37:17You're back with me, and I am.
37:19That is.
37:20That is.
37:21That is.
37:24Oh, my God.
37:30Bravo.
37:31You look very convincing.
37:32My goddaughter, the pig breeder.
37:34So good of you to come.
37:35One of my tenants has an entry.
37:36I came to support him.
37:37So you're a bonus, my dear.
37:40Mama says you're on her side for the battle of the hospitals.
37:43Well, I believe in the changes, yes.
37:45Naturally, Granny blames Isabel for drawing you over to the dark side.
37:48Oh, no, no, no.
37:50I was on the dark side anyway.
37:51No, I was rather hoping it might be the first signs of a thaw.
37:55How I wish that were true.
37:57But I'm afraid her mind remains made up.
37:59A woman can always change her mind.
38:00It's what we're known for.
38:02Ah.
38:07Hello, Mrs Drew.
38:08Everyone well?
38:09Very well, thank you, my lord.
38:10Would have left the children with my neighbour.
38:12Tim thought I should have a day off.
38:14To enjoy myself.
38:15Quite right, too.
38:19Nice to see you.
38:21What else would you like to do?
38:22If you're asking, could we get this business sorted for good and all?
38:27I don't mean to sound stubborn, but surely it is sorted.
38:30It means a lot to Lady Mary and the family that we're married in the house,
38:34and I can't see why we shouldn't be.
38:35You can't?
38:36No, I can't.
38:37If we had family nearby or a place that meant something special, it'd be different.
38:41But we don't.
38:43And Downton Abbey means much more to me than the school.
38:46I'm sorry, but it does.
38:49Lord, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the announcement for Best in Show.
38:53Ah.
38:53First prize goes to Golden Empress of Downton Abbey.
38:56Oh.
38:57Owned by the Earl of Grantham and Lady Mary Crawley.
38:59Goodman, Mr. Timothy Drew.
39:01Well done, my lord.
39:03Yes, well done us.
39:05Where's Miss Marigold, my lady?
39:07She was...
39:08Who's got Marigold?
39:09She was here just...
39:11No, she's gone.
39:12I gather we've won.
39:13Yes, but Miss Marigold's missing.
39:15What?
39:16Oh, my God.
39:17Don't worry.
39:17She's just wandered off.
39:18She's fine.
39:18She'll be perfectly fine.
39:19You'll see.
39:21What is it?
39:22Marigold's gone.
39:23I was talking to your wife, and Marigold was just in front of us.
39:26How could I possibly have lost sight of her?
39:28Sleep with your mother.
39:29Everyone's spread out.
39:30Carson.
39:31I'm coming with you.
39:32Marigold, come with me.
39:44What is it, my lady?
39:45We're missing Miss Marigold.
39:47Don't say that word.
39:48Don't be silly.
39:49She's missing now, and soon she'll be found.
40:04Have you got a car here, my lady?
40:07What?
40:08No, I came with my parents.
40:09Why?
40:10I know where we'll find her.
40:11Where?
40:11I just realised Marigold's gone too, and she's taken the truck.
40:14Do you mean she...
40:14I'm afraid so, my lady.
40:16But don't worry.
40:16She won't hurt her.
40:17Whatever she does, she won't hurt her.
40:18Now calm them down, and let's go.
40:22It's all right.
40:24We've had a message.
40:25Mrs. Drew found her and has taken her home to be out of harm's way.
40:28Would you take me there now, to collect her?
40:29Of course.
40:30I'll get the car.
40:38What's going on?
40:40Honey Corby, my lady.
40:42Miss Marigold's at Utreet Farm with Mrs. Drew.
40:44They've just gone to fetch her now.
40:45At the farm with Mrs. Drew?
40:47Why?
40:47She took her there for safety.
40:49It was good of her, really.
40:50How will we get back?
41:19Please, let me go on along.
41:21Welcome.
41:21No, I don't want to frighten her.
41:23Let him.
41:23He knows what he's doing.
41:51She was bored.
41:55They were paying her no attention.
41:57None at all.
41:59So you brought her here?
42:02Where else would I bring her?
42:04This is her home.
42:07And no one was looking after her.
42:08Not one of them.
42:10Give her to me now.
42:12You're not angry, are you, Tim?
42:15Surely you can't be angry when...
42:18I only want to hold her close.
42:20And love her as much as I can.
42:29No, my darling.
42:31I'm not angry at all.
42:36But give it to me.
42:39Please.
42:40Please.
42:43No.
42:50Oh, my God.
43:16Let's get you back in the car
43:21I'll start looking for another tenancy in the morning
43:23I am sorry, Drew
43:25I want to help as much as I can, please
43:28Just tell me if there's anything you need from me
43:30That's very kind of you, my lord
43:32It's not kind, it's a poor return for what you and Mrs. Drew have done for us
43:37I know how much Lady Edith
43:39Know how much all of us owe to you and your wife
43:42Don't feel badly
43:43We made a plan, Lady Edith and I
43:46But we forgot about emotion
43:50And emotion is what can trip you up every time
43:54God bless you, Drew
43:55God bless you and your family
43:56The same to you, my lord
43:59The very same to you
44:12He's agreed
44:13It seems very unfair, but I've thought and thought about it
44:16And I don't see what else we can do
44:18I think it's for the best
44:20I know it's for the best
44:21I know it's for the best
44:32I know it's for the best
44:32I know it's for the best
