01:00And that someone is William or one of the maids.
01:02You're making work for yourself, Mr. Carson, and I've no sympathy with that.
01:07I'm not asking for sympathy.
01:11I don't think you should be here.
01:13What?
01:13For heaven's sake, man, if something's wrong, put it right.
01:19I'm sorry, Lang. I don't mean to snap.
01:22Nothing to worry about, my lord.
01:24You've been in the trenches. I have not. I've no right to criticise.
01:28I'm not a soldier now.
01:29I know.
01:31You've been invalided out. That is perfectly honourable.
01:35Is it?
01:37I know people look at me and wonder why I'm not in uniform.
01:42Then you refer them to me, and I'll give them a piece of my mind.
01:47Hmm?
01:52Penny for your farts?
01:54They're worth a great deal more than that. Thank you very much.
01:58What is it?
01:59My papers. They've come. I've been called up.
02:02Oh, you never have.
02:03What does it mean?
02:05I'm to report for my medical next Wednesday,
02:07and once I'm through that, I go to Richmond for training.
02:09And then you go to what?
02:11With any luck. I'll be begging if it's over before I get there.
02:14Well, if they'd listen to me, it'd be over by tea time.
02:17Daisy, I wonder...
02:19Would you give me a picture to take with me?
02:22I haven't got one.
02:23Then I have one taken.
02:24On your afternoon off, please.
02:25That's enough. Let her get on with her work.
02:30That's Thomas coming along.
02:32I wish he could be treated at our hospital here.
02:35Well, it's only for officers.
02:37Of course.
02:38Although, ideally, he'd love to be transferred there to work.
02:42He won't be sent back to the front?
02:44Not with his hand the way it is.
02:46It's such a pity he isn't under Dr Clarkson.
02:49We might have been able to influence him a bit.
02:52I should hope so.
02:54Why? Without this family and all the money you've spent,
02:56his precious hospital wouldn't exist at all.
02:59Perhaps I'll ask his advice. You never know.
03:02I was sure you'd have a good idea of what to do for the best.
03:12Fancy a tour in England, Davies?
03:15I assume you're up with me on, sir.
03:17Not at all.
03:18General Sir Herbert Strutt has asked for my transfer to be his ADC.
03:22He's touring England to boost recruitment,
03:24and he's remembered that I know Manchester and Yorkshire pretty well.
03:26I mean a couple of months at home and a promotion to captain.
03:29I can't object to that.
03:33I've only got a few days before the medical, my lady.
03:36Then go and tell your father.
03:38You don't mind, do you, Carson?
03:40We must manage with no footman at all from next Wednesday.
03:43It'll be no different if we start now.
03:45And you've always got Lang.
03:48We wish you every good fortune, don't we, darling?
03:52We certainly do.
03:54Good luck, William.
03:56Thank you, my lord.
04:02So, both my footmen have gone to the war
04:05while I cut ribbons and make speeches.
04:07And keep people's spirits up,
04:10which is very important.
04:13By God, I envy them there.
04:16I envy their self-respect
04:17and I envy their ability to sleep at night.
04:28Mr. Carson doesn't like the smell of cleaning materials
04:30in the servants' hall, not just before luncheon.
04:33Go on, Miss O'Brien.
04:35We don't want to be unfriendly, do we?
04:37You obviously don't.
04:42Never mind, finish it how you've started,
04:43but don't blame me if Mr. Carson takes a bite out of you.
04:50Hello, Mr. Lang.
04:51Everything all right?
04:53Why'd you say that?
04:55No reason.
04:56I only meant I hope you're enjoying yourself.
04:58I know I would be in your shoes.
05:01You never tried for the job, did you?
05:03I haven't got the chance.
05:04I'd no sooner heard that Mr. Bates was gone than he arrived.
05:09What brings you here, Mr. Morsley?
05:11I was wondering if Anna was anywhere around.
05:15I could find her if you like.
05:17Oh, no, no, no, no.
05:19Just give her this.
05:21We were talking about it the other day
05:23and I came across a copy in Ripon.
05:32Elizabeth and her German garden.
05:35What's ever that's about?
05:37It's about an invitation to talk some more, that's what.
05:40It's not fair.
05:41Goodbye, Dr. Clarkson.
05:46Lady Grantham.
05:50I'd love to help,
05:52but it's not within my power
05:54to hook men from hither and thither as I please.
05:57That's not at all what I was asking.
06:00Forgive me,
06:01but I thought you were saying
06:02that you wanted Corporal Barrow
06:03to come and work here when he's fully recovered.
06:06I think it'd accredit to him
06:07that he wants to continue to serve in this way
06:11after he's been wounded.
06:12Well, that's his maybe,
06:13but it's not for me to decide what happens next.
06:28Mr. Carson, are you quite well?
06:30Oh, leave me alone.
06:35Keep your eye on everything at once.
06:38But after 24 hours,
06:39it just isn't good.
06:40Oh, you're all right, Carson?
06:41Of course.
06:42That is, um, perfectly all right.
06:44Your Ladyship, thank you.
06:46Uh, no.
06:48Cousin Isabel says Matthew's coming home in a fortnight.
06:51He's touring England with some general.
06:54We'll have a dinner when he's here.
06:57I was going to ask Richard Carlisle about then.
07:00It's a Saturday to Monday.
07:02You be careful, Mary.
07:04Sir Richard mustn't think you're after him.
07:06Isn't that the truth?
07:07The truth is neither here nor there.
07:09It's the look of the thing that matters.
07:11Ask Rosamund.
07:13It'll take the edge off it.
07:14Well, that'd be nice.
07:16Like before the war.
07:18How can we manage a great pre-war house party
07:20without a single footman?
07:22My dear, Rosamund is not a house party.
07:25She's blood.
07:28I saw Mrs Drake when I went into the village.
07:31The wife of John Drake,
07:32who has Longfield Farm.
07:34No.
07:35What did she have to say?
07:37Apparently, their final able-bodied farmhand
07:39has been called up.
07:41They need a man to drive the tractor.
07:43Well, hasn't Drake recovered from his illness?
07:45I thought he was better.
07:46No, he is.
07:46He's much, much better.
07:48But he doesn't drive.
07:51So I told her I could do it.
07:53What?
07:54I said I could drive the tractor.
07:57Edith, you are a lady,
07:58not Toad of Toad Hall.
08:00Well, I'm doing it.
08:17Don't look so bewildered.
08:19It's simple.
08:20I will drive the tractor.
08:22Well, can you do that?
08:24Absolutely.
08:25Can you hitch up the plough
08:26or whatever it is I'm dragging?
08:29Of course.
08:31When would you like me to start?
08:34Well, I'd better get you something to wear, then.
08:38Oh, I like a bit of life in the house,
08:40but I just hope Mr Carson
08:42doesn't spontaneously combust.
08:44I had a letter yesterday.
08:46Yes?
08:47It's my sister's boy.
08:49He's with the Lancashire Fusiliers.
08:51Only it has gone missing.
08:54Missing, presumed dead, they call it.
08:57Oh, no.
08:59How did it happen?
09:01Well, that's just it.
09:01They can't find out how it happened,
09:03why it happened,
09:04whether we can be sure it did happen
09:05or he is a lying prisoner somewhere.
09:09Why not ask his lordship?
09:11He'll have friends in the war office.
09:12They can dig something up.
09:14Oh, well, I don't like to bother him.
09:17Why not?
09:18He's got broad shoulders.
09:23That's never so fine, Mr Lange.
09:26However can you make those big hands
09:27do such delicate work,
09:29I expect there's no end
09:31to the things they could manage.
09:33Giving you a slap for a start.
09:40That is good.
09:42Very good.
09:43I like to see a proper skill.
09:46These days, blokes think they can be a valet
09:48if they can smile and tie a shoelace,
09:50but there's an art to it.
09:52And I can tell you've got it.
09:55My mother taught me.
09:57She was a lady's maid like you.
10:00Well, she knew what she was about.
10:03Oh, Mr Lange.
10:04As you know, Sir Richard Carlisle arrives later
10:06and the Crawleys are coming for dinner tonight.
10:09I really can't have maids in the dining room
10:12for such a party,
10:13so I'd be grateful if you'd help me
10:15and play the footman.
10:16Me?
10:17Waited table?
10:19Well, it's not ideal,
10:20but I'm afraid I've no choice.
10:22The footman's liveries are in a cupboard
10:24just past Mrs Hughes' sitting room.
10:26You should find one to fit you.
10:32I'm not sure what I can do,
10:34but I'm happy to try.
10:35What's his name?
10:37Archie.
10:38That is Archibald Philpots.
10:41He was in the Lancashire Fusiliers.
10:43They think he was in northern France.
10:46You realise the most likely outcome
10:48is that he has indeed been killed?
10:50I understand, my lord,
10:52but we'd rather know the worst than wonder.
10:56Hmm.
10:59Oh.
11:00Oh.
11:01Hello, Mr Moseley.
11:02What are you doing here?
11:04I asked inside and they said you were over at the laundry.
11:07Lady Mary wants to read this tonight.
11:09I wasn't sure it was done.
11:10I was really wondering if you'd had a chance to read that book.
11:13You only gave it to me yesterday.
11:15Of course, of course.
11:18But when you have read it,
11:19I hope we can exchange our views.
11:22That'd be nice.
11:23Perhaps we might bring some of the others in.
11:25We could have a sort of reading club.
11:31We could do that.
11:33Or we could talk about it together, just we two.
11:41Heavens.
11:42It's later than I thought.
11:43I must get on.
11:52I'm off to change,
11:53but I wanted you to know I sent a note down to Clarkson
11:55which should do the trick.
11:57What did you say?
11:58Only that I gathered you'd asked a favour,
12:00and given that the estate shoulders the hospital costs,
12:02it did seem a little unfair if we weren't allowed a few perks.
12:05Quite right.
12:07Thank you, darling.
12:13Well done, my lady.
12:23Come on, darling.
12:26Come on, darling.
12:41Oh, ho, ho!
12:43Yeah!
12:49So the victor, the spoils.
12:54Did you plant that tree?
12:56Steady on. It must be 40 years old.
12:59It's not a flattering light.
13:02My father planted it.
13:04You have to be tough with fruit trees, not let them outstay their welcome.
13:08Farming needs a kind of toughness, doesn't it?
13:11There's room for sentiment, but not sentimentality.
13:15Beautifully poet, if I may say so, my lady.
13:17You should be a writer.
13:19Thank you. How are you getting on?
13:21Very well, I think.
13:23And it's not too hard for you, not at all.
13:25She's stronger than she looks.
13:28I've brought you something to eat, my lady.
13:31Though I'm afraid it's not what you're used to.
13:34Hey, it's not for you.
13:44So it is you.
13:49Ethel thought I must have a soldier fancy man.
13:52She the new maid?
13:53Yes.
13:55She's a soppy sort.
13:58So, tell me, was Dr Clarkson thrilled to have your services?
14:03No, it's Major Clarkson now, but yes.
14:06I don't know how you did it.
14:10What about you, Blighty?
14:19My God.
14:20It's not so bad.
14:22And they lived up to its name.
14:25And got me home.
14:29You'd better come inside.
14:32Where's William?
14:33Training for the army.
14:34I thought he might have died, for love of you.
14:36Don't be nasty.
14:37Not as soon as you're back.
14:38Imagine Carson without a footman.
14:41Like a ringmaster without a pony.
14:43We'll have none of your cheek, thank you, Thomas.
14:45I'm very sorry, Mrs Hughes, but I'm not a servant anymore.
14:48I take my orders from Major Clarkson.
14:53Who's this?
14:54Ethel, the new maid, I told you.
14:57When I saw you out there, I didn't realise I was dealing with an ex-footman.
15:01I'm the one that got away.
15:04Gives hope to us all.
15:06Ethel, get ready to help with the luggage, then.
15:08He'll be back with Sir Richard.
15:09We've got a visitor, Mr Carson.
15:12I've seen him.
15:17Where's Mr Bates?
15:19Gone.
15:20Replaced by Mr Lang.
15:22So not all the changes were bad.
15:46Hello.
15:47We're so pleased to have you here, Sir Richard.
15:49Lady Grant's welcome.
15:51I hope the train wasn't too tiring.
15:53Hello, Mayor.
15:54Not a bit, no.
15:54I got a lot done.
15:56Hello, Aunt Rosamund.
15:57Brother, dear.
15:58How are you?
16:00Lovely to see you, Rosamund.
16:07He's nice, isn't he?
16:08To be honest, he spent the entire journey reading his own papers.
16:12But I'm sure I'll love him dearly if he'll ever look up from the page.
16:22Branson, when you've finished unloading, run down to the hospital and remind Lady Sybil that we expect her here for
16:27dinner.
16:28And tell her I mean it.
16:30Really.
16:31They're working her like a pack horse in a mine.
16:34I think she enjoys it, though.
16:38Please tell her to come home in time to change.
16:44I can't possibly come.
16:46Really, Mama is incorrigible.
16:48It's not poor Branson's fault.
16:50What is the point of Mama's soirees?
16:52What are they for?
16:53Well, I'm going up for dinner tonight, and I'm glad.
16:55Is that wrong?
16:58Thomas.
17:00You can cover for Nurse Crawley, can't you?
17:03I can.
17:08So you're back, then.
17:10Safe and sound.
17:11That's not how I put it, with my hand the way it is.
17:14But yes, Major Clarkson's found me a place, and I'm grateful.
17:20Can you give Lieutenant Courtney his pills?
17:22Of course I can.
17:24I'd be glad to.
17:32Is everything under control?
17:34Mr Lang seems a bit nervous.
17:37Stage fright.
17:39But what about you?
17:41Oh, I'm a trooper.
17:44And we can't complain, can we?
17:47Not when you think what's going on in France.
17:50Still, a broken heart can be as painful as a broken limb.
17:55Don't feel sorry for me, Mrs Hughes.
17:58I'm not.
18:00I know what real love is, and there aren't many who can say that.
18:04I'm one of the lucky ones.
18:06If you say so.
18:14So the fashion for cocktails before dinner hasn't reached Yorkshire?
18:17I could get Carson to make you one, but I won't guarantee the result.
18:22Of course.
18:22Mrs Crawley, Captain Crawley, and Miss Swine.
18:26Ah, Isabel.
18:29Well, now.
18:30Still in one piece, thank God.
18:32Touch wood.
18:33I never stopped touching it.
18:34Do you know Sir Richard Carlisle?
18:36My cousin, Captain Crawley.
18:38How do you do?
18:39And his fiancée, Miss Swine.
18:41I know Miss Swine.
18:42Her uncle and I are old friends.
18:44Well, old acquaintances, anyway.
18:49What do you think Mary sees in him?
18:51Besides the money, you mean?
18:53It must be more than that.
18:55For you.
18:56Not necessarily for her.
18:59What's General Strutt like?
19:01Well, you know, rather important.
19:03And brave who got the DSO in South Africa.
19:06Is there any chance it might be permanent that we can count you out of danger?
19:10It would be such a relief.
19:12I wouldn't want that, I'm afraid.
19:15He's promised to get me back to France when he's done with me.
19:17How's your new appointment with the North Ridings working out?
19:20Oh, that.
19:23It seems I won't be going to the front after all.
19:26I made a mistake.
19:29They only wanted a mascot.
19:34Mary tells me you're in newspapers.
19:37Well, I own a few.
19:38Oh, that must be quite a responsibility.
19:42At a time like this, you know, in a war.
19:45When it's so important to keep people's spirits up.
19:48Lady Grantham, my responsibility is to my investors.
19:51I need to keep my readership up.
19:52I leave the public spirits to government propaganda.
19:55So now you've met Granny.
19:57I warn you, she has very strong opinions.
20:00Oh, you'd have no fear where that's concerned, my dear.
20:04We're more than evenly matched.
20:08Where are the spoons for this?
20:10Just here.
20:11Oh, my God, I've forgotten the sauce.
20:13Mr Lang's bringing the sauce and the Melba toast.
20:15Right.
20:16Right, good.
20:17Now, Mr Lang, are you ready?
20:18I think so.
20:19That's always the left, not ladies first.
20:22No.
20:22Just follow Mr Carson.
20:24Start with old Lady Grantham, then his lordship, then just go on round.
20:28You must have done this before.
20:30Not since the war started.
20:31I don't think I ever knew that.
20:34Why ain't it just ladies first?
20:35Wouldn't it be more polite?
20:37That's the way it's done on the continent.
20:38We don't like foreign ways here.
20:44I gather your footman Thomas has returned to the village.
20:48Crikey.
20:49Where did you see him?
20:50At the hospital.
20:52Seems he's working there.
20:54I wonder how he wangled that.
20:57Behind me.
20:58Not as well as I should.
21:03What do you make of our plutocrat?
21:06He's an opportunity.
21:07Mary needs a position, and preferably a powerful one.
21:11He can provide it.
21:13You don't think she'd be happier with a more traditional set-up?
21:16Will she have the option?
21:19Thank you, but I already have some.
21:22Give that to me.
21:26I do apologise, my lady.
21:29Mr. Lang, get a coat.
21:33Carson.
21:34Carson, Mr. Manning.
21:36Now, Carson, it's all right.
21:37Everything will be fine.
21:40Edith.
21:40Go with Branson and fetch Major Clarkson.
21:43I'll telephone and explain what's happened.
21:44What about my dress?
21:46Edith will get you a coat.
21:48Come.
21:48Sibyl will know what to do until the doctor comes.
21:51You'll find there's never a dull moment in this house.
21:54Lady Sibyl and I will take him upstairs.
21:56Mrs. Hughes will show us the way, please.
21:58I can help.
21:59No, let me.
22:00I know what I'm doing.
22:00Yeah, I'm sure that's not necessary, my lady.
22:03It's not my lady now, Carson.
22:05Mr. Lang.
22:06That's cruel.
22:07Mr. Lang.
22:08Come on.
22:10Anna and Edith.
22:12I must trust the dinner to you.
22:14I'd say the first course is a thing of the past.
22:16Sorry about that.
22:17Then clear and lay the hot plates.
22:19Daisy, you fetch the beef and the rest of it,
22:21and Anna, you'll have to serve the wine.
22:25Mr. Lang, you can clear up the mess.
22:28I'll do that.
22:29There's no need.
22:30I don't mind.
22:31I thank you.
22:33Mr. Lang, you'd better go downstairs.
22:39Well, Clarkson's seen him.
22:41It's definitely not a hard attack, but he does need rest.
22:43He's working much too hard.
22:46For a start, he's just got to let the maid serve in the dining room.
22:50Quite right.
22:51There is a war.
22:53Even Carson has to make sacrifices.
22:56Poor Lang.
22:57He looks like a rabbit in front of a snake.
23:01I don't understand it.
23:03He seemed so solid when I met him.
23:05Even taciturn.
23:06Now he's a bundle of nerves.
23:08I heard what you said to Matthew about the regiment.
23:12Everyone else knows what a fool I made of myself.
23:14Why shouldn't he?
23:15I don't think you're a fool.
23:17Isn't that enough?
23:18No.
23:20Maybe it should be, but it isn't.
23:33You all right, Mr. Lang?
23:39You're not, are you?
23:46I've seen shell shot before, you know.
23:50I had a brother with it.
23:54My favourite brother, as it happens.
23:57And I was his favourite too.
24:01They sent him back and he's dead now.
24:07They won't send me back.
24:12I'm a goner as far as they're concerned.
24:14You shouldn't be working yet.
24:16I must work.
24:19I don't know what to do else.
24:23I have to work.
24:25Mr. Lang, I thought you'd gone up.
24:29You wanted to hang up the livery before it got creased.
24:32Well, we can discuss the dinner another time.
24:37I'll say goodnight.
24:38Goodnight, Mrs. Hughes.
24:40Goodnight.
24:41Goodnight.
25:00May I come in?
25:01Oh, that's very kind of you, my lady, but do you think you should?
25:05Let's hope my reputation will survive it.
25:08And rest easy, please.
25:13I gather it isn't too serious.
25:16Oh, I've been very stupid, my lady.
25:18I let myself get flustered.
25:20I regard that as highly unprofessional.
25:23It won't happen again.
25:23You mustn't be too hard on yourself.
25:26I was particularly sorry to spoil things for Sir Richard,
25:29knowing he was a guest of yours.
25:31Don't be.
25:32I think he found it all quite exciting.
25:36Will we be seeing a lot of him?
25:39I don't know.
25:41Maybe.
25:43And Captain Crawley,
25:46is he happy with the changes, so to speak?
25:57May I give you one piece of advice, my lady?
26:02Tell him what's in your heart.
26:04If you still love him, let him know.
26:07And even if he's killed, and he may be,
26:10you won't be sorry.
26:12But if you don't tell him,
26:14you could regret it all your life long.
26:17And what about Miss Swire?
26:19Oh, Miss Swire.
26:22As if any man in his right mind
26:24could prefer Miss Swire to you.
26:31Oh, I'm so sorry, my lady.
26:33I didn't know you were in here.
26:35I was just going.
26:36Carson's been boosting my confidence.
26:47That's something I'd never have thought
26:49she was short of.
26:53What about you, sir?
26:56What did you do before the war started?
27:00I was up at Oxford.
27:03But I only have a plan to farm.
27:07Farm.
27:07And shoot.
27:09And hunt.
27:10And fish.
27:14And everything I'll never do again.
27:17You don't know that, sir.
27:18We've had cases of gas blindness wearing off.
27:20Rare cases.
27:22And much sooner than this.
27:24It doesn't help me to be lied to, you know.
27:27I'm finished.
27:30And I'd rather face it than dodge it.
27:35I'd better go.
27:40Where's Rosamund?
27:41She's with your mama.
27:43Trying to talk around the idea of Sir Richard.
27:47You don't sound very enthusiastic.
27:50Are you?
27:52Can we stop for a minute?
27:55Don't tell me you're tired.
27:56I'm not tired, I'm hot.
27:57But this tweed is too thick.
28:00It looks more suited to shooting than walking.
28:03I had it made for the weekend.
28:05I didn't know there was a difference.
28:07It doesn't matter.
28:08That's like the rich who say that money doesn't matter.
28:11It matters enough when you haven't got it.
28:13I know you don't care about our silly rules.
28:16You're always very clear on that score.
28:19You make me sound rude.
28:20And I hope I'm not that.
28:23I mean to learn how to do things properly.
28:25And I'm sure you could help me a lot.
28:28But I'm not ashamed of being what they call a self-made man.
28:32I'm proud of it.
28:34Is the point of all this to test me in some way?
28:37Maybe.
28:39Are you shocked by my bold and modern values?
28:44Oh, Sir Richard, you flatter yourself.
28:46It takes a good deal more than that to shock me.
29:01But, Mama, who do you imagine is out there with more to offer?
29:05I'm not a romantic.
29:06I should hope not.
29:07But even I will concede that the heart does not exist solely for the purpose of pumping blood.
29:12That is charming.
29:14Especially from you.
29:16But Mary seems to have blotted her copybook in some way.
29:25So she needs a suitable marriage that will mend her fences.
29:29Well, how do we know Carlisle is suitable?
29:32I mean, who is he?
29:33Who'd ever heard of him before the war?
29:35Sir Richard is powerful and rich.
29:37And well on the way to a peerage.
29:39Of course, he may not be all that one would wish.
29:41But Mary can soon smooth off the rough edges.
29:45Well, you should know.
29:47What do you mean by that?
29:49Mama Duke was a gentleman.
29:51Mama Duke was the grandson of a manufacturer.
29:54His mother was the daughter of a baronet.
29:56Maybe.
29:57But there were no great threat to the Plantagenets.
30:02The point is, I made up for any social deficiencies.
30:06And he provided me with a position.
30:08It was a good exchange and it worked well.
30:11How can Matthew have chosen that little blonde piece?
30:14You speak so eloquently of the human heart, Mama.
30:17You must be aware of its vagaries.
30:22Things cannot be as they were.
30:23And whatever you might think, Jack has your best interests at heart.
30:27Stop.
30:29Who's Jack?
30:32My younger brother.
30:36He means to replace me.
30:40It's what he's always wanted.
30:46Yeah, well...
30:49I'm sorry.
30:52I mustn't bore you.
30:55Don't let Mark all over you.
30:58You've got to fight your con.
31:02What with?
31:04Your brain.
31:06You're not a victim.
31:07Don't let them make you into one.
31:10You know, when you talk like that...
31:14I almost believe you.
31:16But you should believe me.
31:19Well, my life, they've...
31:24Pushed me around.
31:25Just because I'm different.
31:30How?
31:31Why are you different?
31:35Never mind.
31:39Look.
31:41Look, I don't...
31:42I don't know if you're going to see again or not.
31:47Well, I do know you have to fight back.
32:01How dare you threaten me?
32:03How dare I?
32:04Oh, I assure you, I dare a great deal more than that.
32:06But you can't.
32:07You wouldn't.
32:08I didn't say I would.
32:09I was merely reminding you it was in my power.
32:17Lady Painsbury.
32:18Lady Rosamund.
32:19I'm sorry.
32:20I'll get these things sorted out before too long.
32:23It's not important.
32:26Miss Soire and I were just talking about old times.
32:30Happy old times, I hope.
32:32Will you forgive me?
32:34I want to write some letters before dinner.
32:38I'll give you a moment.
32:43Let's have a rest.
32:44We've earned it.
32:49Oh, I should have gone in for a glass.
32:51I don't suppose you can drink out of a bottle, can you, m'lady?
32:53I wish you'd call me Edith.
32:56And of course I can drink from the bottle.
33:03Would you like me to teach you to drive?
33:07Not much.
33:09Then you wouldn't come here no more.
33:12Although that wouldn't matter to you.
33:14Why do you say that?
33:18You're pretty and clever and fine.
33:21You're from a different world.
33:25Something wrong?
33:26No.
33:27Just having a break.
33:29Because you want to get into town to fetch the bone meal.
33:31And be back in town to feed the cows before it's dark.
33:35They could always have a midnight feast.
33:43That's it.
33:44That's right, sir.
33:45If you move the stick fast enough, you don't have to slacken your pace.
33:48And check the width of the space as well as any possible obstruction.
33:52Lieutenant Courtney.
33:54Well done.
33:55You're making good progress.
33:57Thanks to my saviours, sir.
34:00So you'll be pleased to hear that we're all agreed that it's time for you to continue your treatment elsewhere.
34:05What?
34:06At Farley Hall.
34:08You're not ill anymore.
34:09All you need is time to adjust to your condition.
34:12And the staff at Farley can help with that.
34:14But, sir, these two are helping me here.
34:19Nurse Crawley and Corporal Barrow are not trained in specialist care.
34:23Please, don't send me away.
34:27Not yet.
34:30Sir, surely we...
34:35Lieutenant.
34:36You must know that every one of our beds is needed for the injured and dying from Arras.
34:42Hmm?
34:47Corporal, I'll see you in my office.
34:52Sir, I only meant to say that Lieutenant Courtney is depressed.
34:55I will not leave wounded soldiers freezing or sweating under canvas because one junior officer is depressed.
35:02Yes!
35:04I thought you may want to know what I think.
35:05Oh, why should I?
35:08Nurse Crawley, I may not be your social superior in a Mayfair ballroom, but in this hospital I have the
35:14deciding voice.
35:18Please help him prepare his belongings.
35:20He leaves first thing in the morning.
35:24Anna and Ethel will wait at the table and I will supervise.
35:27What's wrong with that?
35:27Nothing, except that it's how a chartered accountant would have his dinner served.
35:32I can think of worse insults.
35:35If you say so.
35:36But I don't want Lange allowed anywhere near it.
35:41Oh, Mr Bates, where are you when we need you?
35:45Can you bring me the wine, Ledgers, and I'll make a selection?
35:48His Lordship's already done that.
35:50Just try to rest.
35:52To rest?
35:53Or to feel redundant?
35:55Both.
35:55If it'll slow you down for a minute and a half, the world does not turn on the style of
36:01a dinner.
36:02My world does.
36:06How does he know Miss Swire?
36:09What?
36:10Miss Swire.
36:11They were in the garden when I came back from Mama's.
36:14I suppose they met in London.
36:19Would you like me to come back later, milady?
36:21No, come in.
36:22I was just leaving.
36:31How's Carson getting on?
36:33Oh, much better, milady.
36:34Mrs Hughes is having a job, keeping him in bed.
36:39He gave me some advice last night.
36:42Oh, yes?
36:44Was it good advice?
36:47It was about honesty.
36:49He thinks I should say what I really feel.
36:53Sounds a bit wild for Mr Carson.
36:58Do you think he's right?
37:01Well, they do say honesty is the best policy.
37:05And I think he'll regret being honest less often than you'll regret telling lies.
37:09Oh, my goodness.
37:09Melissa?
37:10There we go.
37:10And he'll go.
37:22He'll be a man.
37:23Oh, my God.
37:26Oh, my goodness.
37:32Whoa, come on!
37:32See you guys.
37:32Bye.
37:33Bye.
37:35Bye.
37:36See you, please.
37:36Bye.
37:40he must have smuggled a razor into his bed
37:43there was nothing to be done
37:46it's because we ordered him to go
37:48we don't know that
37:50this is a tragedy I don't deny it
37:53but I cannot see where the course was open to me
37:56we have no room for men to convalesce here
37:59and Farley is the nearest house I can send them to
38:03there is a solution and it's staring us in the face
38:07Downton Abbey
38:08would they ever allow it
38:13or even consider it
38:14I think they would
38:18after this I think they can be made to
38:29but Sir Richard you don't have to
38:31Richard please
38:36you see I want you to marry me
38:39why
38:41because I think very highly of you
38:44very highly
38:45goodness
38:47I mean it
38:48I think we do well together
38:51we could be a good team
38:53now that sounds better
38:56but I can't help thinking
38:58that tradition demands
39:01a literal mention of love
39:03oh I can talk about love and moon and june and all the rest of it if you wish
39:08but we're more than that
39:10we're strong and sharp
39:12and we can build something worth having you and I
39:15if you'll let us
39:17your proposal is improving by leaps and bounds
39:24you must give me some time
39:25but I promise to think about it
39:28properly
39:30I'm counting on it
39:45you must make them
39:45alright
39:48let's just put inside down
39:50let's just go
39:50look in front
39:52MOM
39:55let's play
39:55he need me to go
39:59he's just got to
40:00let me
40:06The Ladyship had Mrs. Patmore make this up for you, so you could eat something during the day.
40:11Oh, I'm having time.
40:16Oh, Matthew. I'm afraid I'm very busy, as you can see.
40:21Yes, I just want to help.
40:22It's right over there.
40:30Is it what you thought it would be?
40:32No.
40:34No, it's more savage and more cool than I could have imagined, but I feel useful for the first time
40:39in my life, and that must be a good thing.
40:42Matthew, are you busy?
40:43No, of course not.
40:46Just go on for a bit.
40:50Quite safe.
40:52So you wouldn't go back to your life before the war?
40:56No.
40:58No, I can never go back to that again.
41:14Lavinia?
41:20What's the matter?
41:22Are you looking for Matthew?
41:24I was, but it's not important.
41:31Tell me what it is, please.
41:36He has to go a day early.
41:37Tomorrow morning, in fact.
41:40Only to meet his general, surely.
41:42Not back to France.
41:44But he must go back one day.
41:48And I can't stop thinking about what I'd do if anything happened to him.
41:52I know he'll be all right.
41:55No, you don't.
41:57None of us do.
42:00We say that sort of thing, but we don't know.
42:04If he died, I don't think I could go on living.
42:14What's doing?
42:16Excuse me.
42:25Lavinia's a bit upset.
42:28She's awfully cut up that I have to go early.
42:30But it's only to Coventry.
42:33Which doesn't sound too dangerous.
42:35If you're looking for Mother, she's at the hospital.
42:37I've just come from there.
42:40Actually, it's you I came to see.
42:42Oh?
42:42How can I help?
42:45Mary, can you stay for luncheon?
42:49I can't.
42:51But thank you.
42:57So, what was your mission?
42:59Just to say.
43:04We hope you're still coming for dinner tonight.
43:07Certainly we are.
43:08Why wouldn't we?
43:10Sure.
43:10It'll be your last evening.
43:13Why?
43:14Don't you want me?
43:15Of course I want you.
43:17Very much.
43:18I'm sorry you've had a wasted journey.
43:20Not at all.
43:22I needed an excuse for a walk.
43:26I'll see you at eight.
43:38Ethel said you wanted me.
43:39No, no.
43:40I just need a word with you.
43:43If it's about that book, I'm afraid...
43:44No, no, no.
43:45It's not about the book.
43:47What is it, then?
43:50I understand that Mr Bates is gone for good.
43:55Yes.
43:56I believe that's true.
43:59So, I was hoping we might be able to see a little more of each other.
44:07Mr Moseley, I take this as a real compliment.
44:15But it's not going to happen.
44:17No.
44:20You see, if you had a child and that child was taken from you,
44:29if the child was sent to the moon,
44:32there'd never be one day when they were out of your thoughts.
44:36Nor one moment when you weren't praying for their welfare,
44:39even if you knew you'd never see them again.
44:43Well, that's you and Mr Bates.
44:47That's me, Mr Bates.
44:51But thank you.
45:06I've kept you too long.
45:07You'd better get back or they'll come looking for you.
45:10We've done a lot, haven't we?
45:11We have.
45:13I'll be forced to invent some tasks.
45:15There'll be no need for you to come much more.
45:17Then start inventing, please.
45:20I will.
45:22Because I'd hate it if you were to stay away.
45:25So would I.
45:28I'd absolutely hate it.
45:43I can't believe I've done that.
45:45I'm awfully glad you did.
45:48You'd have me thrown in the towel.
45:50Only if they give me the key.
45:52Fold it in.
45:54Don't slap it.
45:55You're making a cake, not beating a carpet.
46:00Oh, sorry, Lordship.
46:01I didn't see you there.
46:02It's quite all right, Mrs Patmore.
46:04I wonder, is there somewhere we could have a word?
46:06Er, er, why not go into my sitting room?
46:14Please sit.
46:19I do have some news of your nephew.
46:22I telephoned the war office and they've just come back to me.
46:24But I'm afraid it's not good news.
46:26I knew he was dead all along.
46:28I said so to my sister.
46:30I said, Kate.
46:30I said, he's gone and you'll have to face.
46:32Mrs Patmore, it's worse than that.
46:35But what can be worse than being dead?
46:40Private Philpott's was shot for cowardice on the 17th of February.
46:45Oh, my God.
46:47This explains why the regiment was reluctant to supply information.
46:58Mrs Hughes, could you come in, please?
47:10Mrs Patmore has had some bad news.
47:12Her nephew has been killed.
47:14Why, he never has.
47:15And that's not all.
47:17It is all, Mrs Patmore.
47:19Let us make sure it is all.
47:22Your sister needs to know no more than this.
47:25We cannot know the truth.
47:27We should not judge.
47:33I think it's a ridiculous idea.
47:36Why?
47:37Because this is a house, not a hospital.
47:40But, Granny, a convalescent home is where people rest and recuperate.
47:43But if there are relapses, what then?
47:46Amputation in the dining room?
47:48Resuscitation in the pantry?
47:50It would certainly be the most tremendous disturbance
47:52if you knew how chaotic things are as it is.
47:55But when there's so much good can be done...
47:58I forbid it
48:01to have strange men prodding and prying around the house
48:05to say nothing of pocketing the spoons.
48:09It's out of the question.
48:10I hesitate to remind you, but this is my house now.
48:13Robert's and mine, and we will make the decision.
48:22Oh, I see.
48:24So now I'm an outsider who need not be consulted.
48:29Since you put it like that, yes.
48:34What was it like at the hospital today?
48:39At the front.
48:42The men pray to be spared, of course.
48:52They pray for a bullet that kills them cleanly.
49:01Too many of them today, that prayer had not been answered.
49:08We'll eat in about 20 minutes.
49:10Good.
49:11Would you have any to spare for a poor traveller?
49:15William, I don't believe it.
49:17Pinch me.
49:17I am your dream come true.
49:19You're like a real soldier.
49:21I am a real soldier, thank you very much.
49:23Now, come and give me a kiss.
49:24Oh, we'll have none of that.
49:27Won't you let a Tommy kiss his sweetheart, Mrs Patmore,
49:29when he's off to fight the hun?
49:31Have you finished your training?
49:32Not yet, but he won't be long now.
49:34On the eve of departure, we'll see.
49:36But right now, put her down.
49:40Shirley.
49:41What do you think?
49:42There.
49:43Smart, ain't it?
49:49William.
49:51What a treat to see you.
49:53And how smart you look.
49:56Welcome.
49:57Thanks.
49:58Supper won't be long.
50:00I'm just going up to clear the dining room.
50:01Shall I help?
50:02Of course not.
50:04You're in the army now.
50:08So, still full of the joys of warfare?
50:11Well, I'm not sorry to be part of it, Mr Lang,
50:13and I can't pretend I am.
50:14Oh, yes, you're part of it.
50:17Like a metal cog is part of a factory,
50:19and a grain of sand is part of the beach.
50:21It's all right, Mr Lang, I understand.
50:24And I'm not saying I'm important or out like that.
50:28But I believe in this war.
50:30I believe in what we're fighting for,
50:32and I want to do my bit.
50:36Thank God help you.
50:52Edith seems jolly tonight.
50:54She's found her metier.
50:56Farm laboring.
50:58Don't be so tough on her.
51:00That's like asking the fox to spare the chicken.
51:05What about you?
51:07Last time you told me good news was imminent.
51:10Would you be happy if it were?
51:11Of course.
51:13I've found someone now.
51:16And I want you to do the same.
51:21If you'd taken another minute to make up your mindset,
51:23we'd all have marched over the cliff.
51:25And I'll tell you something else as well.
51:28William's got more to say than a parliamentary candidate.
51:33What's the matter?
51:34I know it's my fault.
51:36But I wish I hadn't let him think
51:38that we're like sweethearts.
51:40Because we're not.
51:41Not by my reckoning, anyway.
51:43Too late for second thoughts now, missy.
51:47You don't have to marry him when it comes to it.
51:50But you can't let him go to war with a broken heart.
51:53Or he won't come back.
51:55I'm sorry, he was getting ready and ready for the tears.
51:58What a time we've had.
52:01Poor Sir Richard must have thought he'd come to a madhouse.
52:05I don't expect it'll put him off.
52:13I'm going to accept him.
52:18Do you think I should?
52:21That's not for me to say.
52:27If you love him more than anyone in the world,
52:30then of course you should.
52:33It's not as simple as that.
52:34Oh?
52:36It is for me.
52:39But then I'm not your ladyship.
52:44Did you love Bates more than anyone else in the world?
52:49I did.
52:51I do.
52:54I'll never love again like I love him.
52:57Never.
53:00Well, there you are then.
53:03One day you'll meet someone else and you'll marry.
53:09Perhaps it'll be second best,
53:11but it doesn't mean you can't have a life.
53:18I think it does, for me.
53:25Are you sure you should be doing this, Carson?
53:27We've managed very well with Mrs Hughes.
53:30Quite sure, my lord.
53:31And breakfast is not a taxing assignment.
53:36Edith, this is a message for you.
53:38Mrs Drake writes that they've decided to hire a man,
53:40so they won't be needing you any more.
53:43Is that all she says?
53:44Oh, well, she's very grateful.
53:47Here we are.
53:47She says she and Drake send their thanks to you
53:50for giving up so much of your valuable time.
53:53I expect it's rather a relief.
53:56Oh, I wouldn't say that.
53:59Not entirely.
54:00Has Lady Sybil gone already?
54:02She had a tray at half past six.
54:04She would.
54:05Carson, have they told you we're to be turned into a hospital?
54:07A convalescent home.
54:10I'm afraid we've all bullied you into the whole thing.
54:13I hope you're not dreading it too much.
54:15Not dreading it exactly,
54:17but it's a brave new world we're headed for,
54:19no doubt about that.
54:20We must try to meet it with as much grace as we can muster.
54:25I'm afraid I may have a life yet.
54:30I'll be back to it.
54:30I'll be back to it.
54:45Thank you, sir.
