00:00:00Six o'clock!
00:00:04Thank you, Daisy.
00:00:06Anna.
00:00:11It's once in my life I'd like to sleep until I woke up natural.
00:00:16Is your fire still in?
00:00:18Yes, Mrs. Batmore.
00:00:19Oh, I'm a horrible one. It's never ceased.
00:00:21Have you laid the service for breakfast?
00:00:23Yes, Mrs. Batmore.
00:00:24I'm finished blocking that stove.
00:00:26Yes, Mrs. Batmore.
00:00:27What about the bedroom fires?
00:00:28Oh, Mrs. Batmore.
00:00:30Right, we'll take your things and get started on the fires on the ground floor.
00:00:34Hey, is everyone here, lad?
00:00:36Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:00:38This is my polished box.
00:01:00No, hurry up.
00:01:22No, hurry up.
00:01:24Any sign of William?
00:01:25No.
00:01:36Where have you been?
00:01:37I'm not late, am I?
00:01:38You're late when I say you're late.
00:01:49Daisy?
00:01:50What ever are you doing there?
00:01:52You're up to you in the dark.
00:01:53You weren't here and I didn't light the social curtains for my dirty hands.
00:01:56I'm quite right to.
00:01:57Why didn't you put the lights on?
00:01:59I dare do.
00:02:00Well, it's electricity, not the devil's handiwork.
00:02:02I'll have to get used to it sooner or later.
00:02:04Skelton Park, you've even got it in the kitchens.
00:02:06What for?
00:02:16Breakfast is ready, Mr Carson.
00:02:18Oh, William, any papers yet?
00:02:19They're late.
00:02:20They certainly are.
00:02:21Well, get the board out so you can do them as soon as they're here.
00:02:29Is the library tidy?
00:02:31Yes, Mrs Wood.
00:02:32Good.
00:02:32I want the dining room given a proper going over today.
00:02:36You can do it when they've finished their breakfast.
00:02:38Oh, heavens, girl.
00:02:40You're building a fire, not inventing it.
00:02:43How many have you done?
00:02:44This is my last till they come downstairs.
00:02:46Very well.
00:02:47Now get back down to the kitchens before anyone sees you.
00:03:05The kitchens before anyone sees you.
00:03:22The man on the roof.
00:03:23No rest for the wicket.
00:03:25Lady Mary, have the tea trays ready?
00:03:27Oh, wait a minute, Mrs Patmore.
00:03:28It's the water's boiled.
00:03:30Would you give us a hand to take the other two up?
00:03:32I've got a ladyship to carry.
00:03:33I'll help.
00:03:34Back door.
00:03:35The papers are last.
00:03:36William?
00:03:38You're late.
00:03:39No, but for what?
00:03:41We'll see.
00:03:48Do the times first.
00:03:50The onion rings out of breakfast.
00:03:51And the sketch for her ladyship.
00:03:53You can manage the others later, if need be.
00:04:02Why are the papers ironed?
00:04:03What's it to you?
00:04:05To dry the ink, silly.
00:04:06We wouldn't want his lordship's hands to be as black as yours.
00:04:12Mr Carson, I think you ought to see this.
00:04:20I can't make myself believe this.
00:04:22Me neither.
00:04:23His lordship's dressed.
00:04:24William?
00:04:25Will you stop talking and take this cadgery off?
00:04:28My minor burners are still lit.
00:04:29Yes, Mrs Patron.
00:04:32They're really true.
00:04:33Afraid so.
00:04:34Nothing in life is sure.
00:04:59Morning, Carson.
00:05:00Morning, my lord.
00:05:02Is it true what they're saying?
00:05:04I believe so, my lord.
00:05:05I'm afraid we'll notice some people on it.
00:05:07I don't suppose there are any lists of survivors yet.
00:05:10I understand most of the ladies were taken off in time.
00:05:13You mean the ladies in first class?
00:05:17God help the poor devils below decks.
00:05:22On their way to a better life.
00:05:26What a tragedy.
00:05:34When Anna told me, I thought she must have dreamt it.
00:05:36Do we know anyone on board?
00:05:38Your mother knows the asters.
00:05:39At least she knows him.
00:05:40We dined with Lady Roth this last month.
00:05:42There are bound to be others.
00:05:43I thought it was supposed to be unsinkable.
00:05:46Every mountain is unclimbable until someone climbs it, so every ship is unsinkable until
00:05:50it sinks.
00:05:52Come on, Papa.
00:05:53Why?
00:05:53What's that?
00:05:54Just arrived.
00:05:56Telegram.
00:06:17Is her ladyship awake?
00:06:18Yes, my lord.
00:06:19I'm just going to take you a breakfast.
00:06:22May I come in?
00:06:26Isn't this terrible?
00:06:29When you think how excited Lucy Roth this was at the prospect, it's too awful for any
00:06:34words.
00:06:36Did J.J. Astor get off?
00:06:38Of course, that new wife of his is bound to have been rescued.
00:06:41I've had a telegram from George Murray.
00:06:43One of his partners is in New York.
00:06:45Yes?
00:06:46It seems James and Patrick were on board.
00:06:49What?
00:06:50They can't have been.
00:06:51They weren't going over until May.
00:06:52And they changed their plans.
00:06:53They're definitely on the passenger list.
00:06:56Thank you, O'Brien.
00:06:57That'll be all for the moment.
00:06:59But surely they were picked up.
00:07:04Doesn't look like it.
00:07:06What?
00:07:10Neither of them.
00:07:12You must tell Mary.
00:07:14She can't hear about it from anyone else.
00:07:27Neither of them were picked up.
00:07:29That's what he said.
00:07:29Mr. Crawley and Mr. Patrick?
00:07:31That's what he said.
00:07:32The ladyship was the colour of this cloth.
00:07:35Well, it's a terrible shame if it's true.
00:07:37It's worse than a shame.
00:07:39It's a complication.
00:07:41What do you mean?
00:07:42What do you think?
00:07:44Mr. Crawley was his lordship's cousin and heir to the title.
00:07:47Well, I thought Lady Mary was the heir.
00:07:49She was a girl, stupid.
00:07:50Girls can't inherit.
00:07:51But now Mr. Crawley's dead.
00:07:53And Mr. Patrick was his only son.
00:07:55So what happens next?
00:07:56It's a dreadful thing.
00:07:59Hello?
00:08:02I've been waiting at the back door.
00:08:04I knocked and no one came.
00:08:05So you pushed in?
00:08:07I'm John Bates, the new valet.
00:08:09The new valet?
00:08:10That's right.
00:08:14You're early.
00:08:15Came on the milk train.
00:08:16Thought I'd use the day to get to know the place.
00:08:18Start tonight.
00:08:20I'm Anna.
00:08:22The head housemaid.
00:08:24How do you do?
00:08:26And I'm Miss O'Brien.
00:08:28The ladyship's maid.
00:08:31You better come along with us.
00:08:42But how can you manage?
00:08:44Don't worry about that.
00:08:45I can manage.
00:08:45Because we've all got our own work to do.
00:08:48I can manage.
00:08:49All right, Mrs. Hughes, I'll take over.
00:08:51Good morning, Mr. Bates.
00:08:53Welcome.
00:08:55I hope your journey was satisfactory.
00:08:57It's fine.
00:08:58I am the butler at Downton.
00:08:59My name is Carson.
00:09:01How do you do, Mr. Carson?
00:09:02This is Thomas, first footman.
00:09:04He's been looking after his lordship since Mr. Watson left.
00:09:07It'll be a relief to get back to normal, won't it, Thomas?
00:09:11I assume that everything is ready for Mr. Bates' arrival.
00:09:14I've put him in Mr. Watson's old room.
00:09:16Though he left it in quite a state, I can tell you.
00:09:18What about all them states?
00:09:20I keep telling you.
00:09:21I can manage.
00:09:23Of course you can.
00:09:24Thomas, take Mr. Bates to his room.
00:09:26Show him where he'll be working.
00:09:34Thank you, everyone.
00:09:36Well, I can't see that lasting long.
00:09:38Thank you, Miss O'Brien.
00:09:40Thank you, Miss O'Brien.
00:10:10Oh, yes.
00:10:16I shall be comfortable here.
00:10:20Does this mean I'll have to go into full mourning?
00:10:24My first cousin and his son are almost suddenly dead.
00:10:32We will all be in mourning.
00:10:34No.
00:10:35I mean with the other thing.
00:10:37After all, it wasn't official.
00:10:40If you're saying you do not wish to mourn Patrick as a fiancée, that is up to you.
00:10:44Well, no one knew about it outside the family.
00:10:46I repeat, it is up to you.
00:10:48Well, that's a relief.
00:11:03There's some cedar-iron cupboards in the attics for things that aren't often worn, travelling clothes and such.
00:11:08Mr. Watson used them to rotate the summer and winter stuff.
00:11:11I'll show you later.
00:11:13I've had studs and links.
00:11:15Do I choose them or does he lay them out unless he asks for something in particular?
00:11:19These for a bowl, these for an ordinary dinner.
00:11:22These only in London.
00:11:23I'll get the hang of it.
00:11:24Yeah, you'll have to.
00:11:30Stuff boxes.
00:11:32He collects them.
00:11:34Beautiful.
00:11:36Funny old job, isn't it?
00:11:38What do you mean?
00:11:41The way we live with all this.
00:11:43Pirate's horde within our reach.
00:11:45But none of it's ours, is it?
00:11:48No, none of it's ours.
00:12:00I can't believe I've been passed over for Long John Silver.
00:12:03You should have spoken up when you had the chance.
00:12:05Don't make the same mistake next time.
00:12:07Who says it'll be next time?
00:12:09Is this a public holiday?
00:12:11No one's told me off.
00:12:18She was certainly reluctant to go into mourning.
00:12:20Well, she'll have to.
00:12:22We all will.
00:12:23O'Brien's sorting out my black now.
00:12:25I told Anna to see what the girls have.
00:12:26It still fits.
00:12:28Of course, this alters everything.
00:12:33You won't try to deny it.
00:12:35You must challenge the end tale now.
00:12:38Sure, can't we at least wait until we know they're dead before we discuss it?
00:12:42Don't talk as if I'm not broken-hearted, because I am.
00:12:46Of course, I've never understood why this estate must go to who never inherits your title.
00:12:51My dear, I don't make the law.
00:12:53What is it?
00:12:54The Dowager Countess is in the drawing room.
00:12:57I'll come now.
00:12:58She asks for Lady Grantham.
00:13:00I wonder what I've done wrong this time.
00:13:03The new valet has arrived, my lord.
00:13:05Has he?
00:13:06Thank you, Carson.
00:13:09What is it?
00:13:10I'm not entirely sure that he'll prove equal to the task.
00:13:14But your lordship will be the judge of that.
00:13:21I'd better go.
00:13:24Tell her about James and Patrick.
00:13:26She won't have heard.
00:13:28Of course I've heard.
00:13:30Why else would I be here?
00:13:31Robert didn't want you to read about it in a newspaper and be upset.
00:13:35He flatters me.
00:13:36I'm tougher than I look.
00:13:38I'm very sorry about poor Patrick, of course.
00:13:41He was a nice boy.
00:13:43We were all so fond of him.
00:13:44But I never cared for James.
00:13:47He was too like his mother and a nastier woman never drew breath.
00:13:53Will you stay for some luncheon?
00:13:56I'll let Carson know.
00:13:56I've already told him.
00:13:58Shall we sit down?
00:14:04Do you know the new heir?
00:14:06Only that there is one.
00:14:08He's Robert's third cousin once removed.
00:14:11I have never, would you my knowledge, set eyes on him.
00:14:13Of course, if your late husband hadn't forced me to sign that absurd act of legal theft.
00:14:18My dear, I didn't come here to fight.
00:14:21Lord Grantham wanted to protect the estate.
00:14:23It never occurred to him that you wouldn't have a son.
00:14:26Well, I didn't.
00:14:27No, you did not.
00:14:30But when Patrick had married Mary and your grandson been hailed as master,
00:14:35honour would have been satisfied.
00:14:38Unfortunately, now...
00:14:40Now, a complete unknown is the right to pocket my money, along with the rest of the swag.
00:14:45The problem is saving your dowry.
00:14:48It would break up the estate.
00:14:50It would be the ruin of everything Robert's given his life to.
00:14:53And he knows this?
00:14:55Well, if he doesn't, he will.
00:14:57Then there's no answer.
00:14:59Yes, there is.
00:15:00And it's a simple one.
00:15:02The entail must be smashed in its entirety.
00:15:07And Mary recognised as heiress of all.
00:15:11There's nothing we can do about the title.
00:15:13No.
00:15:14She can't have the title.
00:15:16But she can have your money.
00:15:19And the estate.
00:15:21I didn't run downtown for thirty years.
00:15:24To see it go, lock, stock and barrel, to a stranger from God knows where.
00:15:31Are we to be friends, then?
00:15:38We are allies, my dear, which can be a good deal more effective.
00:15:43I don't know.
00:15:46Downton is a great house, Mr. Bates, and the Crawleys are a great family.
00:15:50We live by certain standards, and those standards can at first seem daunting.
00:15:55Of course.
00:15:56If you find yourself tongue-tied in the presence of his lordship, I can only assure you that
00:16:01his manners and grace will soon help you to perform your duties to the best of your ability.
00:16:06I know.
00:16:07Bates!
00:16:08My dear fellow, I do apologise.
00:16:11I should have realised you'd all be at lunch.
00:16:13Not at all, my lord.
00:16:13Please, sit, sit, everyone.
00:16:15I just want to say a quick hello to my old comrade-in-arms.
00:16:18Bates, my dear man.
00:16:20Welcome to Downton.
00:16:22Thank you, sir.
00:16:24I'm so sorry to have disturbed you all.
00:16:26Please forgive me.
00:16:36You never asked?
00:16:42Don't let's take that up.
00:16:45Leave it, Daisy.
00:16:46He's a grown man.
00:16:47I suppose he can lift a meat pie.
00:16:49Now, put that apple tart in the lower oven.
00:16:53Oh, and take that away.
00:16:55Mr Lynch shouldn't have left it there.
00:16:57What is it?
00:16:57Salt of sorrow.
00:16:58I asked him for something to clean the brass pot.
00:17:01So, put it somewhere careful.
00:17:03It's poison.
00:17:05Seems like a lot of food.
00:17:06When you think they're all in mourning.
00:17:09Nothing makes you hungrier or more tired than grief.
00:17:13When my sister died, for the rest of her soul,
00:17:16I ate my way through four platefuls of sandwiches at one sitting
00:17:19and slept round the clock.
00:17:21Did it make you feel better?
00:17:22Not much, but it passed the time.
00:17:25Oh, my lord.
00:17:26What was this chopped egg supposed to be sprinkled on?
00:17:28Was it the chicken?
00:17:30It was.
00:17:31Take it upstairs now.
00:17:32I can't go in the dining room.
00:17:33I should think not.
00:17:34Find Thomas or William and tell them what to do.
00:17:37And for heaven's sake, get a move on, girl,
00:17:39before they get back from church.
00:17:41Well, we've given them a memorial in London and a memorial here.
00:17:46I prefer memorials to funerals.
00:17:48They're less dispiriting.
00:17:50They could hardly have held a funeral without the bodies.
00:17:52I gather they're putting up a stone to mark those whose bodies were never found.
00:17:56In fact, I hear the Canadians are making quite a thing at the Titanic cemetery.
00:18:00I'm surprised at the number they found.
00:18:03I think the sea would have taken more of them.
00:18:07So, Murray, what have you to tell me about the lucky Mr. Crawley?
00:18:11Nothing too terrible, I hope.
00:18:13I've only made a few inquiries, but no, there's not much to alarm you.
00:18:17Matthew Crawley is a solicitor, based in Manchester.
00:18:20Manchester.
00:18:21His special field is company law.
00:18:25His mother is alive and he lives with her.
00:18:27His father obviously is not.
00:18:29He was a doctor.
00:18:30I know.
00:18:31It does seem odd that my third cousin should be a doctor.
00:18:35There are worse professions.
00:18:38Indeed.
00:18:47Do me a favor.
00:18:48This is supposed to be sprinkled on the chicken.
00:18:49There's no more to go.
00:18:50Oh, please.
00:18:51It won't take a moment.
00:18:52Come on, mate.
00:18:52Come to you.
00:18:54We ought to talk about the business of the entail.
00:18:57As you know, on your death, the heir to the title inherits everything.
00:19:01Except for the sums set aside for your daughters and your widow.
00:19:05Yes.
00:19:06Owing to the terms of her settlement, this will include the bulk of your wife's fortune.
00:19:12It has been our sole topic of conversation since the day the ship went down.
00:19:15Of course, it must seem horribly unjust to Lady Grantham, but that is how the law stands.
00:19:20Is there really no way to detach her money from the estate?
00:19:23Even to me, it seems absurd.
00:19:25Your father tied the knots pretty tight.
00:19:27I'd say it's unbreakable.
00:19:29I see.
00:19:32Really, Edith.
00:19:33Do you have to put on such an exhibition?
00:19:35She's not.
00:19:37I was supposed to be engaged to him, for heaven's sake.
00:19:38Not you.
00:19:39And I can control myself.
00:19:41Then you should be ashamed.
00:19:44Oh, and don't tell me you've not sent up the egg yet.
00:19:51Oh, God.
00:19:51Help me.
00:19:52Please, God.
00:19:53Help me.
00:19:53What's the matter?
00:19:54Run upstairs to the dining room and find William.
00:19:56I beg you.
00:19:57I can't do that now.
00:19:58You've got to.
00:19:58I'll be hanged if you don't.
00:20:00What?
00:20:00Lady.
00:20:01Is that you?
00:20:02Is it the chicken in the sauce?
00:20:03Or the plain chicken with sliced oranges?
00:20:05Oh, thank you.
00:20:06Blessed and merciful Lord.
00:20:10Is the chicken in the sauce?
00:20:11I'll never do anything sinful again.
00:20:13I swear it.
00:20:14Not till I die.
00:20:18Mr. Murray, how lovely to see you come in.
00:20:22You're very kind, Lady Grantham, but I must get back to London.
00:20:24But she'll stay for lunch, innit?
00:20:26Thank you, but no, I'll eat on the train.
00:20:29In fact, if you'd be so good as to ask for the motor to be brought round.
00:20:33But didn't you want the afternoon to talk things through?
00:20:35I think we've said everything we have to say, haven't we, my lord?
00:20:39For the time being, yes.
00:20:41Thank you, Murray.
00:20:41You've given me a good deal to think about.
00:20:47Mary, try to get everyone into the dining room.
00:20:50Edith, make sure Old Lord Mintern sits down.
00:20:59We've all gone?
00:21:01I have, thank the lord.
00:21:03What about the lawyer?
00:21:04He was the first away.
00:21:06Didn't even stay for the luncheon.
00:21:08I wish they'd make their minds up.
00:21:10Wayne's put clean sheets on the blue room bed.
00:21:12Now she'll just have to strip it again.
00:21:14Can't you leave it for the next guest?
00:21:17Only if you don't tell.
00:21:22So, has it all been settled?
00:21:25No, I don't know if anything's been settled.
00:21:27There's a fellow in Manchester with claims to the title, I gather.
00:21:31It's all a long way from settled.
00:21:34You mustn't take it personally.
00:21:36Oh, I do take it personally, Mrs Hughes.
00:21:38I can't stand by and watch our family,
00:21:40threatened with the loss of all they hold dear.
00:21:43They're not our family.
00:21:44Well, they're all the family I've got.
00:21:57Do you ever wish you'd gone another way?
00:22:06Worked in a shop or a factory?
00:22:09Had a wife and children?
00:22:11Do you?
00:22:14I don't know.
00:22:17Maybe.
00:22:18Sometimes.
00:22:22William's late in the library,
00:22:24but her ladyship hasn't come down.
00:22:26She'll be tired.
00:22:27Take a tree out to her bedroom.
00:22:29Is Thomas back?
00:22:30Not yet, Mr Carson.
00:22:35He asked if he could run down the village.
00:22:37I didn't see why not.
00:23:02It's iniquitous.
00:23:04I can't expect you to sit by silent as your fortune is stolen away.
00:23:08Can't they?
00:23:09His lordship would never let it happen.
00:23:12Our spate's working out.
00:23:15I don't like to say.
00:23:19Only it seems unkind to criticise a man for an affliction, milady.
00:23:24Even if it means he can't do his job.
00:23:33How are you settling in?
00:23:35Very well, I think.
00:23:37Unless your lordship feels differently.
00:23:39No complaints?
00:23:40If I had any, I should take them to Mr Carson, my lord.
00:23:43Not you.
00:23:45You're probably right.
00:23:47And the house hasn't worn you out with the endless stairs and everything.
00:23:51I like the house, my lord.
00:23:53I like it as a place to work.
00:23:56What happened?
00:23:58I was finding the old wound.
00:24:00After I left the army, I had a spot of bother.
00:24:02And just when I got through that about a year ago, my knees started playing up.
00:24:07A shrapnel got left in or something and it moved, but it's fine.
00:24:10It's not a problem.
00:24:12And you'd let me know if you felt it was all too much for you?
00:24:15I would.
00:24:16But it won't be.
00:24:18Thank you, Robert.
00:24:21And where have you been?
00:24:23The village.
00:24:24Send a telegram of you, most of all.
00:24:26Oh, pardon me for a living.
00:24:33Well, Murray didn't stay along.
00:24:39Does her ladyship know how they left it?
00:24:41No.
00:24:42They talked it all through on their way back from the church.
00:24:45If I was still his valet, I'd get it out of him.
00:24:47Bates won't say a word.
00:24:49He will not.
00:24:52I bet your tanner he's a spy in the other direction.
00:24:56I wanted that job.
00:24:58We were all right together, his ladyship and me.
00:25:00Then be sure to get your foot in the door when Bates is gone.
00:25:03Can't get rid of him just because he talks behind our backs.
00:25:07There's more than one way to skin a cat.
00:25:11Perhaps she misunderstood.
00:25:13No, it was quite plain.
00:25:14O'Brien told her Bates can't do the job properly.
00:25:17Why was he taken on?
00:25:18Oh, he was Lord Grantham's Batman when he was fighting the Boers.
00:25:21I know that, but even so...
00:25:23I think it's romantic.
00:25:24I don't.
00:25:25How can a valet do his work if he's lame?
00:25:27He's not very lame.
00:25:29There.
00:25:30Anything else before I go down?
00:25:32No, that's it.
00:25:42Oh, I hate black.
00:25:44It's not for long.
00:25:45My mask says we can go into half-morning next month.
00:25:48I'm back to colours by September.
00:25:50Still seems a lot for a cousin.
00:25:51But not a fiancé.
00:25:56He wasn't really a fiancé.
00:25:59No.
00:26:00I thought that was what you'd call a man you're going to marry.
00:26:03I was only going to marry him if nothing better turned up.
00:26:06Maybe what's a horrid thing to say.
00:26:08Don't worry.
00:26:09You'd have sort of taken him, wouldn't you?
00:26:11Yes.
00:26:12I'd have taken him.
00:26:14If you'd given me the chance, I'd have taken him like a shot.
00:26:19I'd just let you know it's not working, Mr Carson.
00:26:22Do you mean Mr Bates is lazy?
00:26:24Not lazy, exactly.
00:26:26But he just can't carry.
00:26:28He can only manage his large intricacies.
00:26:30You saw how it was when he went up to London for the memorial.
00:26:32He can't help with the guest luggage neither,
00:26:34and as for waiting at table, we can forget that.
00:26:36And what do you want me to do?
00:26:37Well, it's not for me to say.
00:26:39But is it fair and willing to have all the extra work?
00:26:42I don't believe you'd like to think the house was falling below
00:26:45with the way things ought to be.
00:26:47I would not.
00:26:48That's all I'm saying.
00:26:59I'm going down.
00:27:00Coming.
00:27:01In a moment.
00:27:02You go.
00:27:12I know you're sad about Patrick.
00:27:14Whatever you say, I know it.
00:27:17You're a darling.
00:27:21But you see, I'm not as sad as I should be.
00:27:24And that's what makes me sad.
00:27:30I'll do that.
00:27:31No.
00:27:31No, thank you, my lord.
00:27:33I can do it.
00:27:34I'm sure.
00:27:36I hope so, my lord.
00:27:38I hope you are sure.
00:27:39Bates, we have to be sensible.
00:27:41I won't be doing you a favour in the long run if it's too much for you.
00:27:44No matter what we've been through, it's got to work.
00:27:46Of course it has, sir.
00:27:48I mean, my lord.
00:27:50Do you miss the army, Bates?
00:27:52I miss a lot of things, but you have to keep moving, don't you?
00:27:55You do indeed.
00:27:57I'll show you, my lord.
00:27:58I promise.
00:27:59I want that you done.
00:28:00We've managed so far, haven't we?
00:28:04Yes, we have.
00:28:04Of course we have.
00:28:09You look very nice.
00:28:10Thank you, Doug.
00:28:12Did Murray make matters clearer?
00:28:13Yes, I'm afraid he did.
00:28:25By the way, O'Brien says Bates is causing a lot of awkwardness downstairs.
00:28:29We may have to do something about it.
00:28:30But she's always making trouble.
00:28:33Is that fair?
00:28:34And she hasn't mentioned it before now?
00:28:36I don't know why you listen to her.
00:28:38It is quite eccentric, even for you, to have a crippled valet.
00:28:43Please, don't use that word.
00:28:46Did he tell you he couldn't walk when he made his application?
00:28:49Don't exaggerate.
00:28:50Doesn't it strike you as dishonest not to mention it?
00:28:53I knew he'd be wounded.
00:28:54You never said.
00:28:55You know I don't care to talk about all that.
00:28:58Of course, I understand what it must be like to have fought alongside someone in a war.
00:29:02Oh, you understand that, do you?
00:29:03Certainly I do.
00:29:05He must form the most tremendous bonds.
00:29:07Even with a servant.
00:29:08Really?
00:29:10Even with a servant?
00:29:11Oh, Robert, don't catch me out.
00:29:15I'm simply saying I fully see why you want to help him.
00:29:18But?
00:29:20But is this the right way to employ him for a job he can't do?
00:29:23Is it any wonder if the other's noses are put out?
00:29:25I just want to give him a chance.
00:29:33Maman, I'm sorry.
00:29:35No one told me you were here.
00:29:36Oh, damn.
00:29:37Such a blur.
00:29:39I feel as if I were on stage at the gaiety.
00:29:41We're used to it.
00:29:43I do wish you'd let me install it in the dower house.
00:29:45It's very convenient.
00:29:46The man who manages the generator could look after yours as well.
00:29:49Yeah, I couldn't have electricity in the house.
00:29:51I wouldn't sleep a wink.
00:29:53All those vapors seeping about.
00:29:55Even Cora won't have it in the bedroom.
00:29:57She did wonder about the kitchens, but I couldn't see the point.
00:30:00Well, before anyone joins us, I'm glad of this chance for a little talk.
00:30:06I gather Murray was here today?
00:30:08He's travels fast.
00:30:10Yes, I saw him, and he's not optimistic that there's anything we can do.
00:30:14I refuse to believe it.
00:30:16Be that as it may, it's a fact.
00:30:19But to lose Cora's fortune?
00:30:22No, to...
00:30:22Really, Mama, you know as well as I do that Cora's fortune is not Cora's fortune anymore.
00:30:28Thanks to Papa, it is now part of the estate.
00:30:30And the estate is entailed to my heir.
00:30:33That is it.
00:30:33That is all of it.
00:30:36Robert, dear, I didn't mean to sound harsh.
00:30:38You may not mean to, but I bet you will.
00:30:40Twenty-four years ago, you married Cora, against my wishes for her money.
00:30:45Give it away now.
00:30:46What was the point of your peculiar marriage in the first place?
00:30:49If I were to tell you she'd made me very happy, would that stretch belief?
00:30:53It's not why you chose her.
00:30:56Above all those other girls who could have filled my shoes so easily.
00:30:59If you must know, when I think of my motives for pursuing Cora, I'm ashamed.
00:31:04There's no need to remind me of them.
00:31:08Don't you care about Downton?
00:31:11What do you think?
00:31:14I've given my life to Downton.
00:31:17I was born here, and I hope to die here.
00:31:20I claim no career beyond the nurture of this house and the estate.
00:31:23It is my third parent and my fourth child.
00:31:26Do I care about it?
00:31:27Yes, I do care.
00:31:31I hope I don't hear sounds of a disagreement.
00:31:34Oh, it's a set of a day called discussion in New York.
00:31:37Well, I'm glad you're fighting.
00:31:38I'm glad somebody's putting up a fight.
00:31:40You're not really fighting, Granny, are you, Papa?
00:31:42Your grandmother merely wishes to do the right thing, and so do I.
00:31:46Dinner is served, my lady.
00:31:48Does anyone else keep dreaming about the Titanic?
00:31:51I can't get it out of my mind.
00:31:53Not again.
00:31:53Give it a rest.
00:31:54Daisy, it is time to let it go.
00:31:56What are them people, freezing to death in the midnight icy water?
00:32:00Oh, you sound like a penny dreadful.
00:32:02I expect you saw worse things in South Africa, eh, Mr. Bates?
00:32:06Not worse, but pretty bad.
00:32:09Did you enjoy the war?
00:32:10I don't think anyone enjoys war, but there's some good memories, too.
00:32:13I'm sure there are.
00:32:15Mr. Bates, could you hand me that tray?
00:32:20Blast.
00:32:21I'll do it.
00:32:28Ladies are out.
00:32:29We've given them coffee.
00:32:30Lordship's taken his support to the library.
00:32:32Anna, Gwen, I'll go up and help clear away.
00:32:34Er, Daisy, tell Mrs. Patmore we'll leave in 15 minutes.
00:32:49Shh.
00:32:50I keep forgetting.
00:32:51Does this go next door or back to the kitchen?
00:32:53Those go back, but the dessert service and all the glasses stay in the upstairs pantry.
00:32:57Put it on here.
00:33:02What is it?
00:33:02Her ladyship's told him she thinks Mr. Bates ought to go.
00:33:06She said to me, if only his lordship had been content with Thomas.
00:33:10Did she really?
00:33:11What are you doing up here?
00:33:13It's a free country.
00:33:18Well, I'm going for my dinner.
00:33:20You two can stay here plotting.
00:33:34So, the young Duke of Crobra is asking himself to stay.
00:33:38We know why.
00:33:40You hope you know why.
00:33:41That is not at all the same.
00:33:43You realise the Duke thinks Mary's prospects have altered?
00:33:47I suppose so.
00:33:49There's no suppose about it.
00:33:51Of course, this is exactly the sort of opportunity that will come to Mary,
00:33:56if we can only get things settled in her favour.
00:33:59Is Robert coming round?
00:34:01Not yet.
00:34:02To him, the risk is we succeed in saving my money, but not the estate.
00:34:07He feels he'd be betraying his duty if Downton were lost because of him.
00:34:12Well, I'm going to write to Mary.
00:34:14He won't say anything different.
00:34:16We have to start somewhere.
00:34:18Our duty is to Mary.
00:34:22Well, give him a date for when Mary's out of mourning.
00:34:28No one wants to kiss a girl in black.
00:34:34Oh, do stop admiring yourself.
00:34:36He's not marrying you for your looks.
00:34:40That's if he wants to marry you at all.
00:34:43He will.
00:34:44I think you look beautiful.
00:34:46Thank you, Sybil, darling.
00:34:47We should go down.
00:34:49He'll be back from the station at any moment.
00:34:53Let's not gild the lily, dear.
00:34:55And Mary, I'm trying not to be surprised.
00:34:58You all ready?
00:35:01Very well.
00:35:02You should go out to greet them.
00:35:04I'm me, Mr. Carson.
00:35:05No, Daisy, not you.
00:35:07Can you manage Mr. Bates, or would you rather wait here?
00:35:10I want to go, Mr. Carson.
00:35:11There's no obligation for the whole staff to be present.
00:35:13I'd like to be there.
00:35:15Well, it's certainly a great day for downtown
00:35:18to welcome a duke under our roof.
00:35:22Remember to help me with the luggage.
00:35:23Don't go running off.
00:35:24I'll give you a hand.
00:35:25Oh, we couldn't ask that, Mr. Bates.
00:35:26Not in your condition.
00:35:29How long do we have to put up with this, Mr. Carson,
00:35:31just so I know?
00:36:02Welcome to Downton.
00:36:04Lady Grantham, this is so kind of you.
00:36:06Not at all, duke.
00:36:08I'm delighted you could spare the town.
00:36:09You know my daughter Mary, of course.
00:36:11Of course, Lady Mary.
00:36:12But I don't believe you've met my youngest, Sybil.
00:36:15Lady Sybil.
00:36:16How do you do?
00:36:18Come on in.
00:36:19You must be worn out.
00:36:21Oh, Lady Grantham, I have a confession to make,
00:36:23which I hope won't cause too much bother.
00:36:25My man was taken ill just as I was leaving, so I...
00:36:28Oh, that won't be a problem, will you, Carson?
00:36:30Certainly not.
00:36:31I shall look after his grace myself.
00:36:33Oh, no, I wouldn't dream of being such a nuisance.
00:36:34Surely a footman.
00:36:36I remember this man.
00:36:39Didn't you serve me when I dined with Lady Grantham in London?
00:36:41I did, your grace.
00:36:42Ah, there we are.
00:36:43We shall do very well together, won't we?
00:36:46Ah, Thomas, your great Thomas.
00:36:48Good.
00:36:51Hope you had a pleasant journey.
00:36:56Bates, you all right?
00:36:58Perfectly, my lord.
00:36:59I apologise.
00:37:10I apologise.
00:37:11Please, don't feel sorry for me.
00:37:23What shall we do?
00:37:24What would you like to do?
00:37:27I think I'd rather like to go exploring.
00:37:30Certainly.
00:37:31Gardens or house?
00:37:32Oh, house, I think.
00:37:33Gardens are all the same to me.
00:37:36Very well.
00:37:37We can begin in the hall, which is one of the oldest...
00:37:39So, not all those drawing rooms and libraries.
00:37:43What then?
00:37:47I don't know.
00:37:48The secret messages in the attics.
00:37:52It seems a bit odd.
00:37:54Why not?
00:37:56I'll just tell Mama.
00:37:58No, don't tell your Mama.
00:38:00There's nothing wrong in it.
00:38:01No, indeed.
00:38:02I'm only worried the others will want to join us.
00:38:13Mary's settling him in.
00:38:17Cora, don't let Mary make a fool of herself.
00:38:22By the way, I'll be getting up to London next week.
00:38:26Do you want to open the house?
00:38:27No, no, I'll just take Bates and stay at a club.
00:38:29I won't be more than a day or two.
00:38:30I see.
00:38:31Are things progressing?
00:38:34What things?
00:38:38It's just a regimental dinner.
00:38:42Pity Bates spoiled the arrival this afternoon.
00:38:45You didn't spoil anything.
00:38:47You fell over.
00:38:49So undignified.
00:38:50Carson hates that kind of thing.
00:38:52I don't care what Carson thinks.
00:38:54A message from the Dowager Countess, milady.
00:38:57She says she won't come to tea, but she'll join you for dinner.
00:39:02Oh, Carson, I hope you weren't embarrassed this afternoon.
00:39:05I can assure you that you very much appreciated his welcome.
00:39:08I'm glad.
00:39:10Is Bates all right?
00:39:11I think so, my lord.
00:39:13It must be so difficult for you all the same.
00:39:22Don't stir.
00:39:35Do you realise this is the first time we've ever been alone?
00:39:39Then you've forgotten when I pulled you into the conservatory at the Northbrooks.
00:39:43How sad.
00:39:44No, I haven't.
00:39:45It's not quite the same with twenty chaperones hiding behind every fan.
00:39:51And are you pleased to be alone with me, my lady?
00:39:54Dear, if I answer truthfully, you'll think me rather forward.
00:40:04I don't think we should pry.
00:40:06It feels rather disrespectful.
00:40:08Oh, nonsense.
00:40:10It's your father's house, isn't it?
00:40:12You've all right to know what goes on in it.
00:40:14Where does this lead?
00:40:15To the men's quarters, with the lock on the women's side.
00:40:18Only Mrs. Hughes is allowed to turn it.
00:40:20Mrs. Hughes.
00:40:22And you.
00:40:33And here?
00:40:35A footman, I imagine.
00:40:44Should you do that?
00:40:46Why not?
00:40:48I'm making a study on the genus footman.
00:40:51I seem to know the creature's ways.
00:40:54Summer's coming.
00:41:01Can I help you, my lady?
00:41:03We were just exploring.
00:41:08Were you looking for Thomas, your grace?
00:41:11No, as Lady Mary said, we've just been exploring.
00:41:19Would you care to explore my room, my lady?
00:41:21Of course not, Bates.
00:41:22I'm sorry to have bothered you.
00:41:23We were just going down.
00:41:35Why did you apologise to that man?
00:41:36It's not his business what we do.
00:41:38I always apologise when I'm in the wrong.
00:41:40It's a habit of mine.
00:41:43The plain fact is, Mr. Bates, through no fault of his own, is not able to fulfil the extra duties
00:41:48expected of him.
00:41:50He can't lift.
00:41:52He can't serve a table.
00:41:54He's dropping things all over the place.
00:41:56On a night like tonight, he should act as a third footman.
00:42:00As it is, my lord, we may have to have a maid in the dining room.
00:42:05Cheer up, Carson.
00:42:06There are worse things happening in the world.
00:42:08Not worse than a maid serving a duke.
00:42:14So you're quite determined.
00:42:16It's a hard decision, your lordship.
00:42:19A very hard decision.
00:42:21But the honour of Downton is at stake.
00:42:24Don't worry, Carson.
00:42:25I know all about hard decisions when it comes to the honour of Downton.
00:42:30Don't I, boy?
00:42:35William, you mustn't let Thomas take advantage.
00:42:38He's only a footman, same as you.
00:42:41It's all right, Mr. Shoes.
00:42:43I'd like to keep busy.
00:42:45It takes your mind off things.
00:42:46What things have you got to take your mind off?
00:42:50If you're feeling homesick, there's no shame in it.
00:42:54No.
00:42:56Means you come from a happy home.
00:43:00There's plenty of people here who would envy that.
00:43:04Yes, Mrs. Shoes.
00:43:13Will that be all, my lord?
00:43:15Yes.
00:43:17That is, not exactly.
00:43:22Have you recovered from your fall this afternoon?
00:43:24I'm very sorry about that, my lord.
00:43:26I don't know what happened.
00:43:30The thing is, Bates, I said I'd give you a trial, and I have.
00:43:35If it were only up to me.
00:43:38It's this question of a valid sex to duties.
00:43:42You mean waiting a table when there's a large party?
00:43:44That, and carrying things, and...
00:43:50You do see that Carson can't be expected to compromise the efficiency of his staff.
00:43:54I do, my lord, of course I do.
00:43:57Might I make a suggestion?
00:43:59That when an extra footman is required, the cost could come out of my wages?
00:44:03Absolutely not.
00:44:04I couldn't possibly allow that.
00:44:05Because I am very eager to stay, my lord.
00:44:07Very eager indeed.
00:44:10I know you are.
00:44:12And I was eager that this should work.
00:44:17You see, it is unlikely that I should find another position.
00:44:21But surely in a smaller house where less is expected of you, it's not likely.
00:44:26I mean to help until you find something.
00:44:28I couldn't take your money, my lord.
00:44:30I can take wages for a job done, that's all.
00:44:40Break them all.
00:44:41I'll go at once.
00:44:42There's no need to rush out into the night.
00:44:44Take the London train tomorrow, it leaves at nine.
00:44:47We'll have a month's wages too.
00:44:48That, I insist on.
00:44:56It's a bloody business, Fates, but I can't see anywhere around it.
00:45:00That's not quite understandable.
00:45:10I'm afraid we're rather a female party tonight, Duke.
00:45:14But you know what it's like trying to balance numbers in the country.
00:45:18A single man outranks the Holy Grail.
00:45:22No, I'm terribly flattered to be dining on, if I mean.
00:45:26What were you and Mary doing in the attics this afternoon?
00:45:30I expect Mary was just showing the Duke the house.
00:45:32Aren't you?
00:45:36Are you a student of architecture?
00:45:38Absolutely.
00:45:39And I do hope you'll come and inspect my little cottage.
00:45:42It was designed by Wren.
00:45:44For the first old sister.
00:45:46The attics?
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:49Mary took the Duke up to the attics.
00:45:51Whatever for?
00:45:53Where was this due?
00:45:55We were just looking around.
00:45:56Looking around?
00:45:58What is there to look at?
00:45:59It's servants' rooms.
00:46:01What was the real reason?
00:46:03Don't be so too chattered, Foxy.
00:46:05It's...
00:46:07I think we'll go through.
00:46:08I still don't understand.
00:46:10Will you hold your tongue?
00:46:21How long do you think they'll be?
00:46:22I'm starving.
00:46:23Have you settled the ladies?
00:46:24Yes, Mr Castle.
00:46:25Then it won't be long once they go through.
00:46:28Do you think they'll speak out?
00:46:30Do you think we'll have a duchess to wait on?
00:46:32Imagine that.
00:46:33You won't be waiting on her, whatever happens.
00:46:35There is no reason why the eldest daughter and heiress of the Earl of Grantham should not wear a duchess's
00:46:39coronet with honour.
00:46:41Heiress, Mr Carson?
00:46:43Has it been decided?
00:46:44It will be, if there's any justice in the world.
00:46:47Well, we'll know soon enough.
00:46:50What are you doing, Anna?
00:46:51I thought I'd take something up to Mr Bates.
00:46:54Him not being well enough to come down.
00:46:57You don't mind, do you, Mrs Hughes?
00:46:58I don't mind.
00:47:00Not this once.
00:47:01Take him, whatever him I need.
00:47:04Mr Bates is leaving without a stain on his character.
00:47:08I hope you all observe that in the manner of your parting.
00:47:11I don't see why he has to go.
00:47:12I don't mind doing a bit of extra work.
00:47:13It's not up to you.
00:47:16I'll take care of his lordship.
00:47:17Shall I, Mr Carson?
00:47:18Not while you're looking after the Duke, you won't.
00:47:20I'll see to his lordship myself.
00:47:52Mr Bates?
00:47:53Are you there?
00:48:10I've brought something up.
00:48:12In case you're hungry.
00:48:15That's very kind.
00:48:28I'm ever so sorry you're coming.
00:48:30Are we all right?
00:48:33Of course you will.
00:48:35There's always a place for a man like you.
00:48:38Why?
00:48:40Something will turn up.
00:48:44Tell us.
00:48:46When you're fixed.
00:48:48Just.
00:48:49Drop us a line.
00:48:51Else I'll worry.
00:48:53Well.
00:48:55We can't help them.
00:49:15We must go and let the servants get in here.
00:49:17I should be grateful.
00:49:18If we could stay just a minute more, I have something to ask you.
00:49:28I was terribly sorry to hear about your cousins.
00:49:31You said.
00:49:33Did you know them?
00:49:34Not well.
00:49:34I used to see Patrick already at the odd thing.
00:49:39I imagine it will mean some adjustments for you all.
00:49:44To lose two airs in one night is terrible.
00:49:49Indeed, it was terrible.
00:49:51Awful.
00:49:56But then again, it's an ill wind.
00:50:00At least, Lady Mary's prospects must have rather improved.
00:50:04Have they?
00:50:08Have they?
00:50:08Haven't they?
00:50:11I will not be coy and pretend I do not understand your meaning, though you seem very informed
00:50:16on this family's private affairs.
00:50:19But you ought perhaps to know that I do not intend to fight the end tale, not any part
00:50:24of it.
00:50:26You can't be serious.
00:50:29It pains me to say it, but I am.
00:50:36You won't give up your entire estate?
00:50:39Your wife's money entered the bargain to a perfect stranger.
00:50:42You won't even put up a fight.
00:50:44I hope he proves to be perfect, but I rather doubt it.
00:50:48Huh.
00:50:49Very odd thing to joke about.
00:50:51No, odder than this conversation.
00:50:55So, there you have it.
00:50:58But Mary will still have her settlement, which you won't find ungenerous.
00:51:03I'm sorry.
00:51:04I only meant that her portion, when she marries, will be more than respectable.
00:51:10You'll be pleased, I promise you.
00:51:12Oh, heavens.
00:51:13I hope I haven't given the wrong impression.
00:51:15You know very well the impression you do.
00:51:16My dear Lord Grantham, I...
00:51:17Don't, my dear Lord Grantham, me.
00:51:19You knew what you were doing when you came here.
00:51:22You encouraged Mary, all of us, to think...
00:51:25Forgive me, but I came to express my sympathies and my friendship.
00:51:28Nothing more.
00:51:31Lady Mary is a charming person.
00:51:33Whoever marries her will be a lucky man.
00:51:37You will not, however, be me.
00:51:39I see.
00:51:40And what was it you asked me to stay behind to hear?
00:51:47I forget.
00:52:02Aren't you coming into the drawing room?
00:52:05I'm tired.
00:52:06I think I'll just slip away.
00:52:08Please make my excuses.
00:52:10I'm afraid I've worn you out.
00:52:12Tomorrow we can just...
00:52:13I'm leaving in the morning.
00:52:15Good night.
00:52:19Oh, you might tell that footman...
00:52:21Thomas.
00:52:22Thomas, you might tell him I've gone up.
00:52:41So he slipped a hook.
00:52:45At least I'm not fishing with no bait.
00:52:56I don't believe that.
00:52:58Well, believe what you like.
00:53:01He won't break the intel.
00:53:03The unknown cousin gets everything.
00:53:07Mary's inheritance will be the same as it always was.
00:53:10Oh, how was I to know when the lawyer turned up, I thought?
00:53:12You did the right thing to telegraph me.
00:53:15It's just not going to come off.
00:53:16So what now?
00:53:19Well, you know how I'm fixed.
00:53:23I have to have an air rest.
00:53:25If it means going to New York to find one.
00:53:30What about me?
00:53:34You.
00:53:36You will wish me well.
00:53:37Well, you said you'd find me a job if I wanted to leave.
00:53:40Do you?
00:53:42I want to be a valet.
00:53:44I'm sick of being a footman.
00:53:45Thomas, I don't need a valet.
00:53:49I thought you were getting rid of the new one here.
00:53:51Well, I've done it, but I'm not sure Carson's going to let me take over.
00:53:55Well, I want to be with you.
00:54:13I just can't see it working, can you?
00:54:18We don't seem to have the basis of a sudden master relationship, do we?
00:54:21You came here to be with me.
00:54:22Among other reasons.
00:54:27And one swallow doesn't make a summer.
00:54:45You forgot to take something.
00:54:47What?
00:54:50Are you threatening me?
00:54:54Because of your youthful dalliance.
00:54:57A few weeks of madness in a London season, you would know that against me, surely?
00:55:01I would if I have to.
00:55:07And who will leave a greedy footman over the words of a Duke?
00:55:11If you're not careful, you'll end up behind bars.
00:55:15I've got proof.
00:55:20You mean these?
00:55:37You know, my mother's always telling me to never put anything in writing.
00:55:40And now, thanks to you, I never will again.
00:55:43How did you get that?
00:55:45You bastard.
00:55:46Learn to hear about you, Sir Thomas.
00:55:48Go to bed.
00:55:51Unless you want to stay.
00:55:52I don't know.
00:56:23I think I'll turn in.
00:56:25No big announcement, then?
00:56:27All likely to be. He's off on the nine o'clock train.
00:56:31He never is.
00:56:32And when we've had a turkey kill for tomorrow's dinner,
00:56:35I wonder what she did wrong.
00:56:36She did nothing wrong, not from the way his lordship was talking.
00:56:40So his grace turned out to be graceless.
00:56:45Good night, Mrs Hughes.
00:56:47Good night, Mr Carson.
00:56:52If you knew that was your decision, why put Mary through it?
00:56:56But I didn't know it was my decision, my final decision until tonight.
00:56:59But I find I cannot ruin the estate or hollow out the title for the sake of Mary,
00:57:04even with a better man than that.
00:57:06I try to understand. I just can't.
00:57:09Why should you? Downton is in my blood and in my bones. It's not in yours.
00:57:13And I can no more be the cause of its destruction than I could betray my country.
00:57:17Besides, how was I to know he wouldn't take it without the money?
00:57:20Don't pretend to be a child because it's you.
00:57:23Do you think she would have been happy with the fortune hunter?
00:57:25She might have been.
00:57:27I was.
00:57:31Have you been happy?
00:57:33Really, have I made you happy?
00:57:36Yes.
00:57:40That is, since you fell in love with me, which, if I remember correctly, was about a year after we
00:57:45were married.
00:57:46Not a year. Not as long as that.
00:57:49But it wouldn't have happened for Mary.
00:57:51Why not?
00:57:53Because I am so much nicer than you, Fred Brown.
00:57:57I'll be the judge of that.
00:58:02Just don't think I'm going to let it rest, Robert.
00:58:05I haven't given up by any means.
00:58:09I must do what my conscience tells me.
00:58:12So must I.
00:58:15And I don't want you to think I'll let it rest.
00:58:29My lord, would it be acceptable for Bates to ride in front with Taylor?
00:58:34Otherwise, it means getting the other car out.
00:58:36He and His Grace are catching the same train.
00:58:38Perfectly acceptable.
00:58:40And if His Grace doesn't like it, he can lump it.
00:58:56You've been so kind, Lady Grantham. Thank you.
00:58:58Goodbye, Duke.
00:59:00You'll make my farewells to your delightful daughters?
00:59:02They'd have been down if they'd known you were leaving so soon.
00:59:04Alas, something's come up which has taken me quite by surprise.
00:59:08Obviously.
00:59:09Well, Grantham, this has been a highly enjoyable interlude.
00:59:12Has it?
00:59:12I feared it had proved a disappointment.
00:59:14Not at all. Not at all.
00:59:15A short stay in your lovely house has driven away my cares.
00:59:18We ought to go, my lord, if His Grace is to catch the train.
00:59:24Goodbye, Bates.
00:59:25And good luck.
00:59:27Good luck to you, my lord.
00:59:50Get out of Bates.
00:59:52I really mustn't be late.
00:59:55Get back inside.
00:59:57And we'll say no more about it.
01:00:12It wasn't right, Carson.
01:00:15I just didn't think it was right.
01:00:33First post, ma'am.
01:00:35Thank you, Ellen.
01:00:39One for you.
01:00:41Thank you, mother.
01:00:52That's from Lord Grantham.
01:00:53Really?
01:00:55What on earth does he want?
01:00:58He wants to change our lives.
01:01:00Everything was fine.
01:01:00When I came to try...
01:01:00...
01:01:02You
