00:12Are you annoyed we've given you tree farm to Mr. Mason?
00:15I'm annoyed you fixed it while I was in London.
00:17But no, he's a good man, and I hear pigs are his speciality.
00:21No wonder you were convinced.
00:23So now that you've settled in, have you decided what your next task will be?
00:26You haven't done much of the repair shop while I was away, so I'll start with that.
00:30I had an idea to put it on the edge of the estate with access to the village.
00:34Passing trade?
00:35Why not?
00:36Is Papa ready for that?
00:38Hmm, you must be gentle with him.
00:41When does Mr. Mason move in?
00:43His equipment's already there, and the Drews leave on Wednesday, so there's no point in waiting.
00:47And what about his old farm?
00:48Mr. Henderson's taking over the land.
00:51He's going to move his uncle into the house. Much good may it do him.
00:53Nay, there's no need for bitterness now. Things have worked out well.
00:57You're right.
00:58Oh, I'll tell you what. Why don't we go over on the day? We'll take a picnic tea and lend
01:02him a hand.
01:03I could come too. Another pair of hands?
01:05I'm very welcome, I have no doubt.
01:09Good news?
01:11Oh, it's just a friend who's going to be in London. He wants to meet up.
01:14He?
01:15It's nothing like that. It's Bertie Pelham, the agent from Brankester Castle.
01:19I remember him. He shot with us.
01:22And he helped get the magazine out during my night of terror.
01:25The Dowager Countess.
01:27Hello, Granny. What are you doing here?
01:29My dear, I am in need of a favour.
01:33Is Cora about?
01:35No, she's got some charity thing in the village.
01:37Oh, good.
01:38Why don't I like the sound of that?
01:40I'll leave you.
01:42The Minister of Health is paying us a visit.
01:45Mr Chamberlain? I don't think so.
01:47Now, listen. He's on an inspection tour of the North.
01:51He wants to see what's been happening since the war.
01:53Seems very sensible.
01:54I want him to come here.
01:56I want him to listen to our arguments against the York Hospital's plans.
02:01Mamar, what is the point?
02:02Don't be sure, and you know very well, one word from Westminster and the scheme will be abandoned.
02:08But why would he say the word? And why would he ever come to Downton?
02:12Neville Chamberlain's wife was born Anne de Vere Coel.
02:18Guess who was her godfather?
02:19You guess for me.
02:21Your late papa, the sixth Earl of Grantham.
02:25He and her father served in the Crimea together when they were young.
02:29I have known her since she was born.
02:30I admit I'm quite interested, but when it comes to getting him here,
02:34I would say you have no more chance than a cat in hell without claws.
02:38We'll see.
02:43Mr Carson suggested we might have dinner in our cottage tonight,
02:46so I thought I'd ask your advice.
02:49Is this going to be a regular thing?
02:50I don't think so. Once in a while.
02:53Pass your leftover and some chops, I'll make up a basket.
02:56Would you?
02:56Oh, that would be so kind.
02:58When did you last cook?
02:59I've done the odd thing.
03:01Oh, well, of course.
03:02As we all know, anyone can cook.
03:04Don't be like that.
03:05It's not my idea, but it might be nice.
03:08Mrs Patmar's just jealous.
03:09I'm sure she's not, but I would be grateful for the basket.
03:15Well, maybe I am.
03:18Nearly forgot. That chap, Henry...
03:20Torbett?
03:20Exactly, as he telephoned while you were out.
03:23He's going to be in Yorkshire on Wednesday to look at a car,
03:25and he wants you to watch him doing it.
03:28To watch him looking at a car?
03:30Well, not quite. He's driving it round some track nearby.
03:33A cataract.
03:33Testing it. Seen how it handles.
03:35I could take you, if you like.
03:36Would you?
03:37Well, I'd like to see us.
03:38How about you?
03:39I'll be in London on Wednesday.
03:41Edith has a date.
03:42No, I don't.
03:43Of course not.
03:44What do you mean, of course not?
03:45Dr Clarkson seems to be coming round.
03:46Isabel's bringing him for a drink tonight with Dickie Merton.
03:49That's why Mama paid her visit.
03:51When? What did she want?
03:53Neville Chamberlain is coming north.
03:55She wants him to dine here so she can convince him to support her.
03:58If he's on a tour, it'll be far too late to alter his schedule.
04:01That's what I said.
04:02But she seems to think she can persuade him.
04:05Is it wrong to hope she's mistaken?
04:10Anything interesting?
04:13It's Sergeant Willis saying he'll collect me on Wednesday at nine
04:16to go to York for the trial.
04:19Would you like me to come too?
04:21Could you get the time off?
04:22Well, I could ask.
04:23You shouldn't have to go to the trial alone.
04:25What trial?
04:26Mrs Baxter's been called to be a witness on Wednesday.
04:29I want to go along and keep her company.
04:31I think you should.
04:32Mr Carson will understand.
04:33I'm only a character witness.
04:35Character witnesses can make all the difference.
04:37Why do they want you to testify?
04:38There's a man being tried for theft and I...
04:41I knew him once.
04:42Will your words affect the outcome?
04:45Possibly.
04:45You must think about it carefully.
04:46She has thought about it, Mr Bates.
04:48Very carefully.
04:50Where were you?
04:50Oh, I'm sorry, Mr Barrow.
04:52It was only coffee for the family,
04:53so I thought Andy could manage it.
04:54He could, but it's for me to say, not you.
05:01I'm going into the village in a while.
05:02Do you want to come?
05:03Thanks, but no thanks.
05:04I thought you needed some things.
05:06Nothing urgent.
05:07Right.
05:07Is that it?
05:09Yes.
05:12I'm glad to see you here again, Dickie.
05:14Well, it's very good to be here, but it's only about the Ra, I'm afraid.
05:16Well, never mind that.
05:17We brought Dr Clarkson with us because there's something that you, or at any rate Cora, will want to hear.
05:22Do I detect that you're changing sides?
05:24Uh, maybe.
05:25Have you told my mother?
05:27Poor man.
05:28He's changing his mind.
05:29Don't let's put him off.
05:30Oh, that reminds me.
05:31I have a message from her.
05:32She says that the health minister is happy to dine here this Friday.
05:35What?
05:36How did she manage that?
05:37She must have found a way to blackmail him.
05:39You don't mean that.
05:40I wouldn't put it past her.
05:41If she's convinced him to come here, she can make him condemn the scheme.
05:45Well, she mustn't.
05:46And I want the three of you here to support me.
05:49Aye, aye, Captain.
05:56Mr Barrow getting on your nerves?
05:58Only earlier you seem to...
05:59No.
06:00It's not that.
06:01He only means to be friendly.
06:03I know.
06:03He was good to me when I first arrived.
06:05So what is it then?
06:09Well, since I've come, I've got to know a bit more about him.
06:12I don't like to say with a lady present.
06:15We both know Mr Barrow pretty well.
06:17The point is, I wouldn't want to give him any wrong ideas.
06:20I'm not sure that's fair.
06:21Fair or not, I think it's better if he knows what's what.
06:23I bear him no ill will, mind.
06:24We are what we are.
06:26Isn't that the truth?
06:30My compliments to the chef.
06:32Who is Mrs Patmore, not me.
06:35What was Mr Moseley asking?
06:36He wants to accompany Miss Baxter into York on Wednesday morning.
06:41Apparently you've said she can go.
06:42I have, yes.
06:44Will you let him?
06:45I don't see why not.
06:46What's it for?
06:47Sergeant Willis needs her help.
06:49Sergeant Willis again.
06:50Do other butlers have to contend with the police arriving every ten minutes?
06:54Not often.
06:55Now, are you ready?
06:58Oh.
07:02Are these done enough?
07:04Yes.
07:05Shall I fetch the vegetables?
07:07This plate's cold, which is a pity.
07:15Ah, what's this?
07:16What do you think?
07:18Bubble and squeak.
07:19As a vegetable with lamb.
07:21I like it with lamb.
07:24Well, we mustn't let it get cold.
07:31This knife could do with sharpening.
07:43All settled in for the night?
07:45She is, but she won't sleep a wink.
07:47She's too annoyed and I don't blame her.
07:49What's happened now?
07:50She says Dr Clarkson has only planned to throw her over for Mrs Crawley.
07:54She's seen it coming.
07:55What do you mean?
07:56He doesn't want to support her ladyship anymore.
07:59What cheek?
08:00Don't go working yourself up.
08:02Who does he think he is?
08:05Jumped up to the sore bones.
08:07I should steer clear.
08:09No doubt.
08:11But you and I don't think alike, do we, Mr Spratt?
08:14On this or any other subject.
08:16I wish you goodnight.
08:25When's your train?
08:26Nine.
08:27Is this another magazine crisis?
08:29No, but I am interviewing possible editors.
08:31Women?
08:31Women.
08:32Well, I approve.
08:33Good luck with that.
08:34But then who's the date with?
08:35It's not a date.
08:36It's just a friend, as I keep saying.
08:39What are you up to today?
08:40Haven't you got some plan with a racing car?
08:42Later.
08:43We're looking for a site for the repair shop this morning, then we'll go over to Catechra after lunch.
08:46I want to look in on Mason before we do.
08:48He's moving in today.
08:49As long as the pigs are settled.
08:51You joke, but I am concerned.
08:53I've asked him to take over, but pig keeping needs physical strength, now I think of it.
08:56You're right, of course.
08:57They're strong and can be dangerous.
08:59Ask him if he's up to it.
09:00I think I must.
09:01Day of racing cars and pigs.
09:02Who could better that?
09:04Who's dining at home this time?
09:07Nobody.
09:08It's the welcome days as Mr Mason.
09:09He's moving in today.
09:11Wish him well from me.
09:12And I hope he gets more fun out of his hamper than Mr Carson did.
09:16Why?
09:16What was the matter with it?
09:17Nothing was the matter with it.
09:19Except for the fact that I don't seem to cook like his mother.
09:23Oh, I think the correct response is to say, men and sigh.
09:28What's this?
09:29Don't mind us.
09:31How can I help?
09:32Miss Baxter is expecting me.
09:34Daisy, run and fetch her.
09:36Look after Miss Baxter, Sergeant.
09:38She's in a very frail frame of mind.
09:40I'll do me best, but we're after catching a nasty fish and he's bound to thresh about a bit.
09:44Then we'll get caught in the spray.
09:46Good luck, love.
09:53If we put the gate here, we'd be on a lane that links with the main road.
09:57We'd get power and plumbing from the supply of King's Barrow.
10:00Why don't we put the repair shed there?
10:02King's Barrow's a working farm.
10:03There isn't a spare farm.
10:04There aren't half as accessible as here.
10:06We ought to look at costs.
10:09It's good of you to come with me today.
10:10Glad to.
10:11But he won't want me there.
10:13Nonsense.
10:14You're far more in common with him than I do.
10:17Is it serious?
10:18He's attractive and nice.
10:20Yes, and it's good to remember I'm a youngish woman again.
10:23But that's all.
10:25Youngish.
10:27I don't mean to sound snobbish, but I won't marry down.
10:32Was Mr. Matthew Crawley so very special in that way?
10:34Matthew was the heir to the Earldom and estate.
10:37I don't want to be grander than my husband, or richer.
10:41It may surprise you that I agree it's important to be balanced.
10:44That one should not be far stronger than the other.
10:47I just don't think it has much to do with money or position.
10:50Is that how you felt about Sibyl?
10:53To all of you, she had everything and I had nothing.
10:55She was a great lady, and I the man who drove the cars.
10:59But that wasn't true for us.
11:01We were evenly matched, Sibyl and I.
11:04She was strong in her beliefs, so was I.
11:07We were a marriage of equals.
11:09We were very happy.
11:11I think we see that now.
11:13The family, I mean.
11:15Not at first, you're right.
11:17But now.
11:26Good day to you.
11:27Good day.
11:28I wonder you've got the nerve to speak to me.
11:31I beg your pardon?
11:32Throw it over, my lady.
11:34Which has been running this village since you were eating porridge in the Glen with your mummy.
11:38I don't believe I'm required to justify my actions to you.
11:40Because you can't.
11:42Tell me.
11:43What would you call it?
11:45Gratitude?
11:46Because I'd call it treason.
11:48Would you?
11:49Well, I call it impertinence, to a degree that is not acceptable.
11:53And I'm afraid you hadn't heard the last of this.
11:59You look fairly chirpy.
12:01I think we'll have fun.
12:02Besides, I've had some news.
12:03They've nearly finished the work on my house.
12:06That was quick.
12:07Was it?
12:07It doesn't feel very quick.
12:09But it's almost done.
12:10Now you just have to find some customers.
12:12But it's exciting, isn't it?
12:21Did you hear?
12:22That he changed his plea, yes.
12:24I was in court.
12:24I've only just come out.
12:25I expect when he heard that you'd turned off, he must have known it was pointless.
12:29So I've been spared.
12:32How do you feel?
12:33In one way, I feel relieved, of course.
12:35The newspapers won't find me and there'll be no repercussions.
12:39But?
12:40I suppose I'd worked myself up and defacing him across the courtroom.
12:43This man had ruined my life and now it feels a bit anticlimactic.
12:50Shall I go back in and ask him to plead not guilty after all?
12:53No, thank you.
12:57We should leave Sergeant Willis's fetching the car.
13:08It does me good to see a friendly woman bustling about a kitchen.
13:12I've got tea for all of us and a snack for you later on.
13:15You're an angel of mercy.
13:16Are we interrupting?
13:17Not a bit of it, milady.
13:19You're very welcome here.
13:20We just wanted to look in to see how you were doing.
13:23Daisy can tell you where to find our office.
13:25Daisy will be a great help to me.
13:27We wanted to discuss the pigs.
13:30Shall we go outside?
13:31We can talk here, milady.
13:32There's nothing private about it.
13:34Very well.
13:35Of course I understand you have a lot of experience.
13:38A great deal.
13:38I'm top at pigs.
13:40But Lady Mary is a little worried about the physical side of it.
13:43Pricing a bore off a sow or taking the piglets from their mother.
13:46Is this because I'm older than I was?
13:49Of course, you may have already chosen a farmhunt to help you.
13:54We've discussed it, Mr. Mason and I.
13:57He'll give me warning when there's any chance of a bit of strong arm and I'll walk down from the
14:00house.
14:01So you'll be there for the servicing and the separating and the rest of it?
14:03We'll plan it round when Mr. Carson can release me.
14:06It's not every day.
14:07That's very good of you, Andrew.
14:08I want to train in the care of pigs, milady.
14:10I want to learn as much as I can about farming.
14:12Oh, I see.
14:14Well, good.
14:15That seems to settle it.
14:17We must go.
14:18We're on our way to Catterick and we're late.
14:21We hope you'll be very happy.
14:30Well, I do want to train.
14:32I do want to learn.
14:34It was no word of a lie.
14:38Why does Lord Hexham spend so much time in Tangiers?
14:41I suppose he likes it there.
14:42If I had Brankester Castle, I'm not sure I'd ever want to leave.
14:45I agree.
14:46He's not really a country type.
14:48More arty than the sport is, you know what I mean?
14:50He doesn't hunt or shoot.
14:52Hardly.
14:53He paints.
14:54What does he paint?
14:56The young men of Tangiers, mainly.
14:58You know, scenes of local life.
15:01And he's never wanted to marry.
15:03I wouldn't quite say that.
15:05It's always been sort of understood that he and his cousin Adela Graham will marry eventually.
15:09Understood by whom?
15:10On the two sets of parents.
15:13How romantic.
15:13How romantic.
15:15But you like him.
15:17You wouldn't ever want to find something else to do.
15:19I'd hate to leave Brankester.
15:21And I'm very fond of Cousin Peter, even if he isn't a countryman.
15:24He isn't a nasty bone in his body.
15:27What are we doing this evening?
15:29Well, not your evening, too.
15:31Come to my flat for a drink.
15:32I'll show it to you.
15:33Then we can go somewhere else.
15:34You choose.
15:35A racy plan.
15:36Not as racy as all that was that.
15:39But I'd like your opinion.
15:41You shall have it.
16:04Charlie's going to beat him again.
16:05It infuriates him.
16:06Mr. Rogers is a good driver.
16:08I know, but they take such risks.
16:10I hate it.
16:11I just hate it.
16:12There's no such thing as slow motor racing.
16:14Even so.
16:15And there's no such thing as safe love.
16:17Real love means giving someone the power to hurt you.
16:19Which I won't concede easily.
16:48She went well.
16:49She's perfect, Giles.
16:51Don't change a thing.
16:51Thanks, sir.
16:53I think I started after you.
16:55And you're a bad loser.
16:57Well?
16:58How fast?
16:59That is the general idea.
17:00It looks like she handles well.
17:02Will you take her to Brooklyn's?
17:03Brooklyn's and other tracks.
17:04I think I found my new car.
17:05What do you say, Charlie?
17:07Well, she must be good to beat me if you did.
17:09Oh, I did and I will again.
17:10Then we must celebrate.
17:12Oh, as a pub at Catery.
17:14Not for me, I'm afraid.
17:15I have to get home.
17:16Oh, let's go anyway.
17:17Okay.
17:18Just let me get a chance.
17:20Help them to enjoy us.
17:22You don't have to marry them.
17:23But you do have to let them enjoy this moment.
17:27You're not nervous, because I would be.
17:29No, I'm looking forward to it.
17:31No, we'll make a pig man of you yet.
17:33I'll lend you some books when we go inside.
17:35Books on pig breeding and care.
17:36You need to know the theory of it.
17:38You'll be glad of the knowledge.
17:39Makes the work more logical.
17:42Now then.
17:48How many more?
17:49Just one.
17:50Miss Edmonds.
17:51Send her in.
17:53If you'd like to go in now.
17:55Please sit down.
17:57I've been reading about your many achievements.
18:00Oh, I see you were born in 92.
18:02I know I might seem too young to be an editor, but I do have experience.
18:05I was just going to say we're born in the same year.
18:08Have you seen a copy of our latest edition?
18:11I produced it, actually.
18:13Our editor had left, so it was down to me and the rest of the office.
18:16And during one horror-filled night, we did it.
18:19Then are you sure you need me?
18:20Oh, I am.
18:21But I have at least proved you're old enough to be an editor.
18:24Because I was.
18:261892 seems a million years ago now.
18:28Another time.
18:29Another age.
18:31That might be worth exploring.
18:32Victorian babies grown into modern women.
18:35And the price they've paid.
18:37Ah, thank you, Audrey.
18:41This is something like it.
18:43I think you'll do well here.
18:45So do I.
18:46And you know what I wish?
18:47That our Daisy would live here.
18:49You can still work at the big house, but make a home with me.
18:52I don't know.
18:53What is it?
18:5420-minute walk.
18:55What's that?
18:56I'll have to think about it.
18:57Well, I wouldn't have to think long.
18:58This place is like heaven to me.
19:00You never set foot up for pavement for 18 years.
19:03And now it's all harvests and pig farming.
19:06Well, not everyone's right for what they're born to.
19:08Very true.
19:09These are the books I spoke of.
19:11You'll learn most from the work, I know.
19:14But they'll give you a grounding, if you're serious.
19:17I am.
19:17Now, what else can I give you?
19:19Another cup of tea?
19:21Why not?
19:22Don't mind if I do.
19:27I'm afraid Mummy and Daddy and Aunt Edith are all away.
19:30So you must make do with Granny and Donk.
19:33Is Granny Violet a red Indian?
19:35Why on earth do you say that?
19:37Daddy said she was on the warpath.
19:40Come and look at these books I've put out for you.
19:44These are some of the places Donk and I have visited.
19:49Chamberlain's office rang to confirm that he is dining here on Friday.
19:53I wish he weren't.
19:54But you'll line up the opposition.
19:56Certainly.
19:57I already have.
19:58What a nuisance it is.
19:59Mama is not a good loser.
20:01She's had so little experience.
20:02You couldn't just back off and let the cards fall as they may.
20:06Robert, for 30 years I've striven to let your mother have her own way.
20:09But this is too important.
20:11I appreciate that her motives are honorable.
20:12But that's not enough when she's damaging people's lives.
20:15This one's my favorite.
20:17You can cancel if I'm allowed to say you're ill.
20:19I'm not ill enough and she'd only rearrange it.
20:22She can obviously get Chamberlain to do whatever she wants.
20:24Though heaven knows why.
20:26What's this?
20:27That's the Sphinx, darling, in Egypt.
20:29What?
20:30The Sphinx.
20:31A creature of secrets that she never reveals.
20:35Rather like Granny Violet.
20:39What time will you get there?
20:41On Friday?
20:42Well, not much before eight.
20:44I want to be in possession of the room by the time Mr Chamberlain arrives.
20:50Oh, dear.
20:51Bad news?
20:52Oh, dear.
20:54I wouldn't have brought it if I'd known.
20:56Spratt, would you ask Denker to come up here, please?
20:59Of course, my lady.
21:00You're quite agitated.
21:02Denker has disgraced herself.
21:04Well, how distressing for you.
21:05She's not fat so much.
21:07It means I shall have to find a new maid.
21:10Yes, I see.
21:11A real punishment.
21:14Lady?
21:15Is it true you call Dr Clarkson a traitor?
21:17What?
21:18Surely not.
21:19Denker?
21:20I just thought he'd behave very badly towards your ladyship.
21:24It is not your place even to have opinions of my acquaintance, let alone express them.
21:28He can't claim your friendship now.
21:31Not when he's turned against you.
21:33If I withdrew my friendship from everyone who had spoken ill of me, my address book would be empty.
21:39Yes, but surely...
21:40For a lady's maid to insult a physician in the open street.
21:44You've read too many novels, Denker.
21:46You've seen too many moving pictures.
21:47I was sticking up for you.
21:49And for that, I will write a tepid character, which may enable you to find employment elsewhere.
21:54But from this house, you must go forthwith.
21:56But my lady...
21:57You may stay tonight, but you must go tomorrow.
22:03Are you sure?
22:04I can't believe Dr Clarkson could wish her to lose her position.
22:08Then you shouldn't have sent it.
22:09When we unleash the dogs of war, we must go where they take us.
22:20Sorry about that.
22:21It's rather acute.
22:22It's popular.
22:23That's a good sign.
22:24Oh, you don't know the place?
22:25You'll laugh at me, but I've hardly ever been in a public house.
22:28Matthew wasn't really a pub man, and Papa goes into the Grantham Arms about once a year to have a
22:32drink with the tenants.
22:33Well, I'm afraid my life is an altogether rougher affair.
22:36Consider me warned.
22:39So the car is a success.
22:41Well, I wasn't convinced it would be, but it is.
22:43You must have a go sometime.
22:44I hope that's a real offer.
22:45Do you know I didn't realize you were so keen, Tom?
22:47Blast!
22:48You could have driven her today.
22:49You know I came to Denton as a chauffeur.
22:51Oh, Mary told me.
22:52But then, not every chauffeur has a real love for cars.
22:54That's true enough.
22:55Oh, I tell you, he was talking about you the other day.
22:57Evelyn Napier.
22:58Oh, how is he?
22:59He's well.
23:00Still single, of course.
23:02And, I suspect, still pining for you.
23:04He will pine in vain, but I'm very fond of him.
23:07La belle dame, sans merci.
23:08What does that mean?
23:10It means Lady Mary knows what she's about.
23:14I tell you what, next time you're down south, why don't we all have dinner?
23:17I'd love that.
23:18You are funny.
23:20What do you mean?
23:21The way you have to keep making reasons for why you'll meet.
23:23You to watch him drive cars, you to have dinner with a friend.
23:26Why can't you just say, I'd love to spend more time with you?
23:29When can we do it?
23:30You see, he may have assimilated in some ways, but he still fights playing by the rules.
23:43What are those?
23:44I didn't hear you come in.
23:48Mr. Mason's lent me some books on pig rearing and farming generally.
23:52I'm going to help with the pigs.
23:53Ah, I see.
23:55Which will you start with?
23:57The red one, I think.
23:59The red one?
24:00Who's it by?
24:06F.J. Connell.
24:08Does that mean anything to you?
24:09Not a lot.
24:21This must be the most sophisticated room I've ever been in.
24:23The taste is all Michael's.
24:25He was very artistic and very clever.
24:27So are you going to live here?
24:29I think I'll live here more.
24:31I'd like a life away from Downton.
24:33Because you like London?
24:35Well, the house, the estate, they're all Mary's now, more than Papa realises.
24:41It's time for me to strike out in my own direction, not just dawdle and Mary's wake.
24:47When do you go home this time?
24:49Tomorrow.
24:50My work is done here.
24:51I've found my new editor, and we've got a government minister coming for dinner on Friday.
24:55So we're all on parade.
24:57That's very swanky.
24:58Is your father political?
25:00Not at all.
25:00It's my grandmother who's invited him.
25:02How impressive.
25:03She is, rather.
25:05Shall we go?
25:10I love the Café de Paris.
25:12How did you know to choose it?
25:13I knew we'd love the same things.
25:27God, what a relief.
25:29I thought I might be pushing my luck.
25:31Oh, no.
25:33I suppose you've guessed how much I like you.
25:36You don't know me.
25:37I know you enough to think about you all the time when we're apart.
25:40That's very sweet.
25:43Of course, I haven't much to offer.
25:45You've a great deal to offer.
25:48And I'm not sure I'm worthy of it.
25:51But for now, let's just enjoy a good dinner and some dancing.
25:56No arguments here.
26:04So it was a good day?
26:05Oh, yes.
26:06A happy ending to a trying time for the poor man.
26:10Daisy fought well in his cause.
26:11If not always very sensibly.
26:13No, he's a lovely chap, though.
26:15Kind and considerate.
26:16Oh, he wants Daisy to live there.
26:18I suppose that's understandable.
26:19He must be lonely.
26:20He's not lonely.
26:21He's lived on his own for years.
26:22He's used to it.
26:23He enjoyed a bit of company today.
26:25He was just being polite.
26:26I expect he was longing for us to go.
26:33You mustn't mind when Mr Mason makes new friends, Daisy, now that he's here among us.
26:38Of course I don't mind.
26:39I just think he's fine as he is.
26:41I'm ready to walk up to the cottage if you are.
26:43Of course.
26:44Oh, Mrs Patmore.
26:45I haven't thanked you for our supper the other night.
26:47Always happy to help.
26:48I'm very grateful.
26:50But another time, I wonder if you might go through the cooking of it with Mrs Hughes.
26:53Oh, yes.
26:54It's been a while since she's played with her patty pans and she's got some catching up to do.
26:59You'd be glad of the help, wouldn't you?
27:01Very glad and very grateful.
27:04And now I must fetch my coat.
27:11I'm sorry, Miss Dunker.
27:12I simply don't see I have a role to play.
27:15So you're just going to sit there and let me be dismissed?
27:18How did it happen?
27:19Were you drunk?
27:20No, I was not drunk.
27:22I was shocked.
27:24Shocked at the short memory of a doctor who's failed his patroness.
27:28I doubt he sees it in that light.
27:30Well, that's the way I saw it and I acted accordingly.
27:32Am I to blame if I have a very passionate nature?
27:36I need more of that talk and I won't be able to sleep.
27:38You won't sleep a wink if I am still sacked when we go upstairs.
27:42That's a risk I'll have to take.
27:55I'm dreading this dinner on Friday.
27:59So are we all, but we have to get through it.
28:01I'm afraid Mama seems to see this argument as the last battle, the last big fight of
28:05her life.
28:06If she loses, there'll be hell to pay.
28:09Then there'll be hell to pay.
28:11Added to which, I'm feeling pretty rough.
28:14I'm sure it's only indigestion, but whether it is or not, I'll be glad of a chance to put
28:18my feet up.
28:19It's too late to cancel, but I'd be happy to manage the evening without you if you're
28:22really ill.
28:22Mama would only say I'd rat it on her.
28:25No, as you say, I'll get through it and then take things quietly for a few days.
28:31You're just sick!
28:40How did that happen?
28:41I threw a book and it caught it.
28:43Oh yes, the red one.
28:45Why did you throw it?
28:52Why did you throw the book, Andy?
28:58You can't read, can you?
28:59No, I can't bloody read!
29:01Go on, have a good laugh about it!
29:03I'm not laughing.
29:04You've been good at hiding it, I must say that.
29:07Flicking through your magazines.
29:09I only look at the pictures.
29:13Why did you not learn at school?
29:15Fooled around until it was too late.
29:17I learned how to sign my name, which was all I needed in service.
29:20But now you want to be a farmer.
29:22Yeah, I could be a farm labourer, but I want more than that.
29:26And if I can't read, then it won't be possible, so another dream goes west.
29:30It doesn't have to.
29:32No, I'll teach you to read.
29:34And write too, if you want.
29:36I must be too stupid.
29:39I've never picked it up so far, and I would have if I had half a brain.
29:42That's not true, you're a clever lad.
29:45You will get the hang of it, trust me.
29:48What would the others say?
29:49We won't tell them.
29:51We'll talk about it in the morning, alright?
29:57Mr Barrow.
29:59I've not behaved well towards you.
30:02And I'm sorry for it.
30:05I've known worse.
30:08Good night, Andy.
30:18Oh, you're a pearly.
30:20I suppose you have quite a day ahead.
30:22Are you packed?
30:23No, I have not packed.
30:26I shouldn't leave it too long.
30:27You should take up a breakfast and dresser,
30:29to be sure of your reference.
30:31And then, uh, head off.
30:33Is that all you've got to say?
30:34Well, don't look at me.
30:36It's not my fault.
30:37There's nothing I can do.
30:41Did they catch your nephew?
30:43What?
30:44Your nephew.
30:44The one who's on the run from the police.
30:46The one you sheltered here.
30:48Did they catch him?
30:50I don't believe so.
30:52No.
30:53I wonder if that was because he was allowed to rest here.
30:57I think maybe it was.
30:59Septimus Spratt, if I am sacked, I am taking you down with me.
31:03And my sin is not a criminal offence.
31:09What can I do?
31:10I can't talk to her before she's dressed.
31:13No, well, while you're waiting, you can think of what you're going to say.
31:15Unless you want to find yourself sewing mailbags.
31:19I'm not promising anything.
31:21I mean, I suppose she doesn't listen to me.
31:22You'd better hope she does, Mr Spratt.
31:26You'd better hope she does.
31:31I think she likes him, yes, but I don't believe she's serious.
31:34Why not?
31:35Lady Mary has quite a sense of her own importance, and I doubt he's enough for her.
31:39Besides, what would he do here?
31:41Hang about with testing his cars on the drive?
31:43He could always get a job.
31:45Doing what?
31:46I'm not convinced there's a big demand for racing drivers in Thirsk.
31:50So, Lady Mary does not believe that love conquers all.
31:54It mustn't be hard on her.
31:56She is what she is, but I'd say she'll want someone who brings just as much to the table.
32:00Maybe I'm wrong.
32:01I hope so.
32:02I'd like her to be happy.
32:04I'm happy.
32:05I want everyone to be happy.
32:07Are you really happy?
32:09I'm happier than I've ever been.
32:11Happy, impatient, excited.
32:14Don't say too much.
32:16It frightens me.
32:17We've still got months.
32:19Nothing won't go wrong.
32:20Bad harvest, bad harvest.
32:22What does that mean?
32:24In the old days, when the crop was good, the farmers used to shout, bad harvest, so the gods wouldn't
32:29grow jealous of their luck and destroy them.
32:32Bad harvest!
32:35Not what to do with it.
32:36Let's hope so.
32:38I bet there we are.
32:39We'll be late for breakfast.
32:42Well?
32:43She wants you in the drawing room.
32:44What did she say?
32:45What did you say?
32:47I told her your crime was an excess of loyalty, that your devotion to her had made you blind.
32:53It was the smugness of the doctor that got my goat.
32:57That I did not say.
32:58No, no.
32:59The point is, did it work?
33:01I reminded her how hard it is to find properly trained staff now.
33:06And did it work?
33:07I asked her how long it had taken to break you, and...
33:09Less of that talk.
33:11I just want to know, did it work?
33:14She's going to give you one more chance.
33:18Hallelujah.
33:19But mind you, I'd surprised when she tells you.
33:21I will rival St. Paul in my astonishment.
33:25Right.
33:26Well, you'd better get upstairs.
33:28Oh, and Miss Denker, I don't want to hear another mention of my unfortunate nephew.
33:35Oh, well, that rather depends.
33:37On what?
33:38On whether or not I need to mention him again.
33:49He's not arrived, then.
33:51Not yet.
33:52But what we want to know is by what power you made him come here.
33:56Well, power of personality.
33:58I'm not sure it would have worked for me.
33:59Works for me?
34:00You quite well.
34:02I will be all right as long as no one asks me how I am.
34:05You heard your note nearly proved fatal to poor Denker.
34:08Well, I only intended that she'd be ticked off, not beheaded.
34:11I gather it was Spratt who saved her, which is a surprise in any number of ways.
34:15Mama, what are you doing?
34:17Carsten, Carsten, can you change these place cards in the dining room?
34:21I'm not sure her lady should...
34:23Robert.
34:24Just do it.
34:25Very well, my lord.
34:26You'll be in a very junior seat.
34:31I found my editor.
34:32And had some fun, too, I hope.
34:33I went dancing at the Café de Paris, which felt very young and gay.
34:36And we saw Henry Talbot try out a racing car.
34:39So now we're all members of the Bright Young Things.
34:41I don't know about Bright.
34:42The Right Honourable Neville Chamberlain, Minister for Health.
34:45Lord Grantham.
34:47Lady Grantham.
34:48Minister, how kind of you to find time for us in your busy schedule.
34:51We're very grateful.
34:53I wouldn't have the courage to refuse your mother-in-law.
34:55There you are.
34:56Oh, how is dear Anne?
34:59She sends her greetings.
35:00Oh, how grown up you all are.
35:03You know, I remember so well when you and she were young and carefree,
35:08looking for fun wherever you could find it.
35:11I know you do.
35:12Yes, well, I always say, let the past stay in the past.
35:17I always say that, too.
35:20Where have you met my cousin, Mrs. Crawley?
35:23No, indeed, it's a great honour.
35:25I gather you're here to discuss the new plans for managing our health.
35:29Well, I know I'm here to discuss a topic Lady Grantham's interested in.
35:33Excuse me, would you care for one of these?
35:38I thought you needed a rescuing.
35:40Our own scrapes are bad enough for their being dragged into other people's.
35:43How well you understand me.
35:44I'm afraid you're in for some rigorous debate.
35:46I wish I weren't.
35:47Shall we go in?
35:49We don't want to wear the minister out before he's even had a chance to sit down.
35:55She can't protect him in the dining room.
35:58You'll stop at nothing to get your own way, isn't that the truth?
36:01Indeed.
36:02It is a quality I shall with Marlborough, Wellington and my late mother.
36:08I was trained in a hard school and I fight accordingly.
36:14No, he's a coming man.
36:16I read he may be Prime Minister one day.
36:18He's no friend of the unions.
36:20For which he is to be congratulated.
36:22Is the consomme ready, Mrs Patmore?
36:24We should get out of your way.
36:27He never said how the trial went.
36:30I didn't have to testify in the end.
36:31He looked at the list of witnesses and changed his plea.
36:34He must have a sense of unfinished business.
36:37That's clever of you.
36:38I won't ask what it was, but I hope you can leave it behind.
36:42I'm not sure, but thank you.
36:44Mr Moseley says the dowager's got the bit between her teeth.
36:47And I don't give much for Mr Chamberlain's chances.
36:50Nor me.
36:50But surely, if it's important to the area, he'll want to listen.
36:54He'll just want to get out alive.
36:57The system has worked well here for a hundred years.
37:01Why must we destroy everything in our path simply for the sake of change?
37:05I'm not sure that's a true representation of the case.
37:08Exactly. There are many benefits to be had from the plan.
37:11But benefits for whom?
37:12Goodness.
37:13I thought I was here to be lectured by a united group, not to witness a battle royal.
37:18Oh, don't you enjoy a good fight?
37:20I'm not sure I do, really.
37:21My mother-in-law has a certain myopia when it comes to anyone else's point of view.
37:25On the contrary, I have a clarity of vision that allows me to resist a housemaid's trap of sentimentality.
37:32Your enthusiasm is getting the better of your manners.
37:34Can't we stop this beastly row?
37:35How I wish we could.
37:37Because I... I... I'm so sorry. I...
37:47Thomas, on his left side.
37:49Give me the lapkins.
37:50I'll call the ambulance.
37:52Keep him warm. Take my coat.
37:53What is it?
37:54His ulcer has burned.
37:55What? Will he be all right?
37:56We must get into hospital as quickly as we can.
37:59I'm here, darling. Don't worry, I'm here.
38:01If this is it, just know I have loved you very, very much.
38:05This isn't it, darling. We won't let this be yet.
38:07Here's some water.
38:08No. No water.
38:10Just keep him steady until the ambulance arrives.
38:14All right.
38:15All right.
38:22Is he very bad?
38:24I'll run for the ambulance. It'll be here at any moment.
38:26Miss Baxter, Anna, fetch their leadership's coats. Don't forget Lady Edith.
38:30What about me, Mr Carson?
38:31You might put together some things that could be useful, but hurry.
38:34There's no time to lose.
38:35I can't believe it.
38:38Life is short.
38:40Death is sure.
38:41That is all we know.
38:45There is a man who's been shaken to the roots of his soul.
38:48Everything he based his life on has proved mortal after all.
38:51We've no time for philosophy, Mrs Patmore.
38:54What can we do to help?
38:55Let's send up some coffee.
39:05Lady Grantham, I'm not sure how much use I can be here.
39:08Of course you should go.
39:10I will consider the new plan.
39:11Don't. That is, let it stand.
39:13I believe the change will work well for both establishments.
39:17Very well.
39:18Lady Grantham.
39:19Give my love to dear Annie.
39:20I will.
39:22The ambulance is here.
39:24Don't represent me, Mama.
39:26I think the new system will be better, and I haven't got time to be diplomatic.
39:29Don't you think I have enough things to worry about?
39:32It's better we should be honest.
39:33There have been too many secrets.
39:34Let's have no more of them.
39:36If you mean Marigold, that's settled, and you know I am sorry now.
39:40Let us concentrate on Robert.
39:42They're ready.
39:42They want to take him now.
39:45Girls.
39:46Mary.
39:46Edith.
39:47We must go.
39:48Well.
39:53Edith, dear, telephone with any news.
39:56No matter how late.
39:57I will.
39:59I'll take you home in my car, and Lady Grantham.
40:02In a moment.
40:04You're quite pale.
40:06We'll go together.
40:07You've had a shock.
40:09I think I've had a few shocks this evening.
40:17I think I've had a few shocks this evening.
40:21They're bringing your car around.
40:23I'll let the ambulance get away.
40:28There's a dinner that delivered more than you bargained for.
40:30Are you going to follow them?
40:32I don't want to crowd them.
40:33But they'll ring when they have news.
40:35Can you let my office know?
40:36Of course.
40:38If you'll do me a favor and answer one question.
40:41Why did you come here tonight?
40:43Your grandmother-in-law can be very persuasive.
40:45I'd love to know how she did it.
40:48My wife has a brother called Horace de Vere Col.
40:50You may have heard of him.
40:51The prankster?
40:53Didn't he board a warship pretending to be the leader of a Turkish delegation?
40:56Abyssinian, but yes.
40:58He was always doing that sort of thing.
41:00Some years ago, he and a few friends dug a trench across Piccadilly.
41:04And London was thrown into total chaos.
41:07But what is...
41:07I was one of the chaps responsible.
41:10We dressed as workmen, and no one stopped us.
41:12And by the time we'd finished, every road was jammed from the East End to Belgrade Square.
41:16And old Lady Grantham threatened to give you away.
41:18Well, it was long ago now.
41:20But the papers would be sure to make it look as bad as possible.
41:24And a dinner seemed a price worth paying to avert it.
41:27Now there's my car.
41:30So, I'd better be off.
42:13Thank you, my lady.
42:22That was Lady Mary.
42:24His lordship's had his operation, and now he's resting.
42:28Wow.
42:28Her ladyship is staying overnight, but Lady Mary and Lady Edith will come home.
42:32What was the operation?
42:33They performed a gastrectomy.
42:36What's that?
42:37No business of ours.
42:39Will he be all right?
42:41It sounds as if he has a good chance.
42:43Oh, thank God.
42:45I'll find out if there's anything he needs in the morning.
42:47I'll walk down there now with some things for her ladyship.
42:49Well, come with you.
42:51I'm quite relieved.
42:52Of course you are.
42:53I didn't think I'd mind one way or the other, to be honest.
42:57Must be getting soft in my old age.
43:00Well, don't let the other animals find out.
43:01They'll pounce.
43:02Leave him alone.
43:03Now we should go.
43:06We can take it in turns tomorrow, so Mama can have some rest.
43:09Very well.
43:10I'll go first.
43:12Stark can take me there and bring Mama back.
43:14What a terrifying reminder.
43:16In one second, your whole life can change.
43:18Yes.
43:19It only takes a moment for everything to feel quite different.
43:23I'm going to check on my children.
43:25Of course you are.
43:27Good night.
43:30How is he?
43:32He'll be all right, but it's not the stuffing out of him.
43:34We'll have to make sure the load is lightened when he comes home.
43:37To be more precise, Tom, from now on, you and I need to take full responsibility for the estate.
43:42We'll involve him in the big decisions, of course, but he mustn't have any more worry.
43:47It's why he got the ulcer in the first place.
43:49So long live our own Queen Mary.
43:52Good night.
43:54Good night.
44:01Mr. Carson told us his lordship is going to recover.
44:04You seem to think so.
44:06Everyone was very happy to hear it.
44:08Can I fetch you anything?
44:09I just want to go to bed.
44:11You must be absolutely exhausted.
44:16Anna, could I ask you something?
44:19Is there any talk in the servants' hall about Miss Marigold?
44:23What sort of talk, milady?
44:26Well, everyone thinks she's a lucky little girl being taken in by the family, but they would think that.
44:34And that's all you want to say?
44:37Why, what else should I say?
44:39Never mind.
44:41I'm too tired to talk any more tonight.
44:55I'm too tired to talk any more tonight.
