I'm looking forward to this.

5
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,845
You should be at this board meeting.
You're a trustee and the patron.

6
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,128
- Why are they coming here?
- I don't know exactly.

7
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,760
I suppose they have something they want
to tell us, but I don't know what.

8
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,127
- They obviously need more money.
- (CHUCKLES)

- Right, we're off. See you later.

00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,123
Who's that? It's not one of
the farmers' wives, is it?

11
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,884
No, I don't think so.

12
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,883
Do you really like
riding like that?

13
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,042
When a sidesaddle
is so much more graceful.

14
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,929
And so much more dangerous.

15

Is Mama right? You're dodging
the hospital meeting?

16
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,522
Only a little bit. (CHUCKLES)

17
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,760
- May I be of assistance?
- Er, no, thank you.

18
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:10,729
Well, I expect you'll
want to get started.

19
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,201
- Started at what?
- Following the hunt.

20
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,887
If you go with them, they'll show you
where to watch them jump the brook.

21
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,646
I see. Ta very much.

22
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,011
Hmm.

23
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,371
Ooh.

24
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,648
- Can I lick the bowl?
- Yes.

25
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,723
You can both lick the bowl.

26
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,050
ANDY: I enjoyed that.
Was it your first meet?

27
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,567
There's not much hunting
in Bayswater. (CHUCKLES)

28
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,848
Andy, go back and check
that everything's come down.

29
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,571
- I think it has, Mrs Hughes.
- It never hurts to check.

30
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,763
- He's a nice boy.
- THOMAS: He is.

31
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:47,446
And I think I'm showing him the
right way to go about things.

32
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,046
I should let him find
his own way, Mr Barrow.

33
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,044
Can I have a piggy-back?

34
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,443
- All right, then, but not for long.
- Oh... (CHUCKLES)

35
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,525
- I want to go hunting, too.

running smoothly?

(SIGHS) Oh, I suppose so.

41
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,442
But it's harder
with no kitchen maid, you know.

42
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,921
- Have you settled on a date yet?
- Date?

43
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:14,684

00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,889
The button came off my cuff.

49
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,044
I thought I'd mend it
before things got busy.

50
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,171
- Shall we go down?
- Before we do...

51
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,522
...I wish you'd tell
me what's wrong.

52
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,410
Whatever makes you say that?

53
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,291
You'll say I'm being stupid.

54
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,771
Well, maybe you are.

55
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,571
Maybe.

accepted Mr Carson...

57
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,531
(GASPS) You didn't mean it?

58
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,682
- Oh, yes, I did.
- Oh...

59
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:32,241
He's a very, very dear man.

60
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,970
So, what's the problem?

61
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,169
I hadn't fully considered

62
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,609
all the aspects of marriage.

63
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,524
Of what I was getting into.

64
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,921
I don't understand.
What aspects?

65
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,368
You know each other better than
most couples at the start.

66
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,731
Oh, my Lord. You mean...

67
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,291
Yes.

68
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,205
That is precisely what I mean.

69
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,047
Well, there's nothing so
terrible about it, is there?

70
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,806
So they say. I wouldn't
know, of course.

71
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,806
Mrs Patmore, look at me. I'm a
woman in late middle age...

72
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,724
Oh, don't say, "late".

73
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,360
I was not bad-looking as a girl,
if you can believe it.

74
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,841
- Very easily.
- But these days?

75
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,724
I'm not sure I can let
him see me as I am now.

76
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,849
Perhaps you can keep
the lights off.

77
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,810
That is not helpful,
Mrs Patmore.

78
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,122
Well, won't he feel the same?

79
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,729
I mean, no-one's clapped eyes on
him without his togs for years.

Except the doctor.

Good point. Very good point.

82
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,166
Maybe he'd prefer us to leave
that side of things alone.

83
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,449
Sorry? Live like brother
and sister, you mean?

84
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,481

brother and sister.

85
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,971

- Or not doing.
- Yes. Thank you, Mrs Patmore.

92

The trouble is, I don't believe it's a
conversation I can have with him...

93
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,487
Oh, you're not suggesting I try?

94
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,085
Oh, would you?

- ISOBEL: When did you learn about this?
- What do you mean?

131
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,729
Well, you seem to be
in possession of the facts,

132
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,928
when it's the first
time we've heard of it.

133
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,650
What does that matter?

134
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,441
The fact is that the Royal
Yorkshire County Hospital

135
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,683
wants to take over
our little hospital,

136
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,649
which is outrageous.

137
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,324
- But it's not as simple as that.
- Why not?

138
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,721
Oh, because there may be
benefits for the village.

139
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,804
If we form such a partnership,
our patients would have access

140
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,009
to more modern equipment,
to more advanced treatments.

141
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,003
Our fundraising would
be more efficient.

142
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,051
And the price of the fundraising
would be to lose all control,

143
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,091
and to become the tools
of a faceless committee in York.

144
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,447
What matters more?
Health or power?

145
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,321
What matters is to have power over
the maintenance of our own health.

146
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,811
Ladies, ladies, please...

147
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,564
Lady Grantham is right.

148
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,644
Our independence is surely not
something we should just abandon

149
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,325
without a second thought.

150
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,764
How did you find out about this?

151
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,731
They wrote to me.

152
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,441
Who did? I'm the hospital
Almoner. Nobody's written to me.

153
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,207
Ever since you took that position,
you talk as if you run the place.

154
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,691
I do run the place!

155
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,730
Or, at least, I know every
detail of how it's run.

156
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,451
And I ought to be told about
any proposed changes.

157
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,683
- You're being told now.
- If you must know, it was a friend,

00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,810
on the board in York,
who whispered it to me.

159
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,564
They'll write to all of us soon.

160

So, you want to protect your power
at the expense of the patients.

161
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,810
I want to protect the patients
at the expense of my power.

162
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,528
And may the best man win.

163

- Rita Bevan.

Don't you know me, Lady Mary?
'Cause I know you.

174
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:02,201
No. I do not know you.

175
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,607
And I suppose you have forgotten the
Grand Hotel in Liverpool, too, m'lady?

176
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,047
And the nights you spent there
with Viscount Gillingham?

177
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,531
I was a chambermaid.

178
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:13,047
But I suppose we're invisible
to people like you.

Until she caught the
eye of Lady Edith.

201

Now she'll grow up in the bosom
of a great family

202

life accordingly.

we need to discuss

requirements at Downton.

We have cut down
quite a bit, m'lord.

214
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,367
We've only got one hall boy
and two housemaids,

215
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,126
and as the kitchen staff have
left, we've not replaced them.

216

I know, and there's no need
for anything drastic.

The estate's working well, thanks
to Mr Crawley and Mr Branson,

of step with my fellow man.

As a matter of fact,

both the housemaids have
handed in their notice.

I was going to tell you.

222

Oh. Were they unhappy?
I hope not.

223
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,687
No, no, no. One is leaving to get
married, which we knew was coming,

224
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,162
and Madge has found
a job in a shop.

225

Which is better
than working here?

her to be free in the evenings.

- I must ask you to remember, m'lord,

228
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,201
that there were six footmen when I
first came here and five housemaids.

229

Now we've got two of each
and no kitchen maids at all.

its tracks, maybe I would.

But I can't, Carson. Nor you,
nor I can hold back time.

£1,000? Don't be mad.

Nothing, until I have to.

00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,171
Would that be so awful?

312
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,769
Poor Tom. If he was a fish out of
water here, what is he in Boston?

313
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,640
A fish back in water,
I should have thought.

314
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,848
There's a tremendous
Irish community there.

315
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,480
If you ask me, he's
landed on his feet.

316
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,120
How is the search going
for his replacement?

317
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,725
We've hardly started, really.

318
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,724
We haven't started at all.
We don't need a replacement.

319
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,611
- Why not?
- Because I'm his replacement.

320
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,121
- I'm going to be the new agent.
- You're what?

321
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,489
We've worked together since he came
back from Dublin. Why shouldn't I?

322
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,971
Quite right.

323
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:53,645
Yes, but what about
the heavy lifting?

324
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,247
Granny, I think I can lift quite
as much <i>as</i> sad old Mr Jarvis,

325
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,731
before Matthew chased him away.

Brains count for
more than muscles.

Long live women's
rights and all that,

328
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,920
but it's not a good idea to take
on a job that wears you out.

329
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,411
I'm doing it now, aren't I?

330
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,245
Yes. But you'll be dead by the
year's end if there's no let-up.

331
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,847
I suppose we only know what we're
capable of when we test our limits.

And we certainly know
what you're capable of.

Isobel, what's
Granny done wrong?

335

We're going to have a fight about
the running of the hospital...

336

And she began it
by concealing the facts.

COUNTESS: Cora,
don't waste your time on it.

339
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,402
It's a matter between me
and Cousin Isobel.

340
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,882
We can't have the President in a
tug of war against the Almoner.

341
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,610
We can if it's needed.

Clarkson as the rope.

(EXHALING) Erm... Well...

347
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,166
The thing is, I've been speaking
to Mrs Hughes about your marriage.

348
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,891
- Oh, yes?
- And I was wondering about...

349
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,843
Well, at least, we were
both discussing the terms

350
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,729
on which you intend to live.

351
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,644
Good terms, I hope.

352

Are you sure?

Go on, then.

354
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,527
You see, we were talking
of how it will be,

355
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,127
sharing your life
after so many years on your own.

356
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,806
That's the nub of it, I agree.

357
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,405
Because you've got used to
doing things in a certain way.

358
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,050
It's true. I have.

359
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,646
But I like to think
that I'm not too old to change.

No, of course not.

To share your

Doesn't everyone
when they marry?

00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,931
I suppose.

366
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,881
So, what can I do for you?

Nothing. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

You sound like a governess
in fear of dismissal.

You sound like a guilty party, who's
trying to throw me off the scent.

Is something on your mind, Robert?
You seem a bit troubled lately.

Do I? Well, maybe I am.

378
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:28,884
To be honest, I'm
starting to ask myself

379
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,883
how much longer
we can go on with it all.

380
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,930
- Well, go on with what?
- The household. The servants.

381
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,809
You're not in
difficulties, are you?

382
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,291
No.

383
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,809
But a butler, under-butler,
footmen, a valet, ladies' maids...

384

To say nothing of the housemaids, the
kitchen, the laundry, the gardens...

00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,969
Yes, well, you...

386
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:51,250
You think it's a bit
too much in 1925?

387
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,724
The wage bill is three times
what it was before the war.

Soon it will be worse.

And anyway,
who lives as we used to, now?

Out of my flat.

I'm not quite sure what to do.

Should I smarten it up

465
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,569
Thank you, Mrs Hughes.

466
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,690
We mustn't delay you.

467
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,449
Can you send Anna up?

468
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,045
Of course, m'lady.

469
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,051
- How dare you?
- I dare more than you dare.

470
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,328
You could have asked her
to throw me out.

471
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,563
- Why didn't you?
- It would only make things worse.

472
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,843
It'll be a lot worse when you're
sprawled all over the centre pages

473
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,570
<i>of the News of The World.</i>

474
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,210
- You're revolting.
- (SCOFFS)

475
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,241
Can't you see that none of that
stuff works with me?

476
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,927
- What stuff?
- La-di-da, gracious great lady.

477
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,526
You think you're so marvellous,
don't you?

478
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,569
Your lot's finished.

479
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,240
You're going down and
we're coming up.

480
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,004
The working classes
may be coming up,

481
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,969
but I'd be very
surprised if you are.

482
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:26,804
Now, please get out.

483
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,530
- Can I have the money?
- No.

484
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,091
You'd only come back for more.

485
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,690
Suppose I gave you me word?

486
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,200
If I wasn't so disgusted, that
would actually make me laugh.

487
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,571
- (DOOR OPENS)
- I was just on my way up...

488
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,882
This is Miss Bevan,
whom I was telling you about.

489
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,371
How did you get in here?

490
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,931
How do you think? I lied.

491
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,445
Now, you've got one more chance,
and that'll be your last.

492
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,329
You must be a glutton
for punishment.

493
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,486
Now, Anna,
can you make sure she leaves?

494
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,165
Certainly, m'lady.

495
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,847
Mr Molesley's been on at me
about me exams.

496
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,402
Ooh, I don't envy you. I can still
cheer myself up by thinking

497
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,562
at least I don't have to
take any more exams.

498
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,769
But he's right. I must take them,
or what's it all been for?

499
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,641
Ooh, it doesn't look as if she'll
be staying on at the Dower House.

500
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,770
No. I wouldn't have said she was a
long-term prospect, Mrs Patmore.

501
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,251
Not very congenial, you see.

502
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,687
Oh! Hey, I wonder
what was in that message.

503
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,402
I suppose you're surprised to see
me lining up with the Dowager.

504
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,130
Only because I think
you're wrong.

505
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,806
Forgive me, but you have
a touching faith in officialdom.

506
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,530
Once they take
over the hospital,

507
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,889
they will lay down the law, with no
regard for the needs of this area.

508
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,203
I've seen it in war and in
peace, it's always the same.

509
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,884
Do you not care?

510
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,725
I'll tell you what I care about.
It's not complicated.

511
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,042
I care about survival rates.

512
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,090
Mrs Crawley, I'm sure you don't
intend to be offensive...

513
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,527
No, but I intend to be truthful.
I'm the Almoner.

514
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,600
I know the facts
about this place as well as you.

515
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,763
So, this isn't something Lord
Merton has persuaded you into?

516
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,362
- Lord Merton?
- You remember him, surely?

517
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,966
That famous fount
of all medical knowledge.

518
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,241
Well, I wish you luck
with your fellow warrior.

519
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,365
What is it they say?
Rather you than me.

520
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,891
Good day.

521
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,011
(SIGHS)

522
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,888
You've got a visitor.
Sergeant Willis is here.

523
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,441
- What does he want? Search me.
He's in Mr Carson's room.

524
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,250
Mr Bates is there already.

525
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,731
Erm...

526
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,126
But surely, if a woman's confessed,
then that's the end of it?

527
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,966
Not quite. Inspector Vyner thinks
it may be a false confession.

528
00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:54,840
You do get people coming forward
when they had nothing to do with it.

529
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,485
But haven't they
checked her story?

530
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,491
If she's one of his victims, people
must have seen them together.

531
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,927
Well, that's the point.
They can't prove a connection.

532
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,846
She says Mr Green picked her up in a
pub, but no-one can corroborate it.

533
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,082
We can't send her to prison
if she's delusional.

534
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,651
Then why have you
come here today?

535
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,644
Because I thought it was your right
to know that someone had confessed.

536
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,280
How did she know
Mr Green would be in Piccadilly?

537
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,081
Well, it was a spur-of-the-moment
thing. She just saw him standing there.

538
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,846
Did he speak to her,
like the witness said?

539
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,721
He spoke. He belittled her
and he laughed at her.

540
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,963
- Then she pushed him.
- WILLIS: I believe she's telling the truth.

541
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:33,761
And I'm certain it'll come
right. Just keep the faith.

542
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,531
Good day.

543
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,050
How stupid of him.

544
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,929
To come here
before there was any proof.

545
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,128
Don't be harsh. He meant well.

546
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,248
Meaning well is not enough.

547
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,086
A letter from Rose, to us all.

548
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,811
- How does she sound?
- Hectic and happy.

549
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,883
New York seems to suit her.

550
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,409
M'lord, William Mason's father
is downstairs.

551
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,130
Oh? What does he want?

552
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,409
It seems the owners of the estate
where he's a tenant are selling up.

553
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:08,891
What?

554
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,801
The Darnleys are selling Mallerton?
I find that very hard to believe.

555
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,605
So did he, m'lord,
but now there's to be an auction

556
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,888
of the contents of the
house on the 10th.

557
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,407
You astonish me.
But what can I do?

558
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,007
He wonders if you could put in a
word for him to keep his tenancy.

559
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,288
Well, how does he know
that's not what they intend?

560
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,364
- He's had a letter giving notice.
- Oh, it may be a formality.

561
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,204
They have to sell
with vacant possession,

562
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,964
but the new owners
may well keep him on.

563
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,885
He just wonders if you could
find out what his chances are.

564
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,371
Can't he ask them himself?

565
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,488
You'd be more likely to get
a straight answer.

566
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,802
I hope it's not an impertinence.

567
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,328
No. He was William's father.
He's Daisy's father-in-law.

568
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,244
He enjoys privileges
at this house.

569
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,765
That's what I thought, m'lord.

570
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,409
Well, I don't mind telephoning.
Is Mason in the servants' hall?

571
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,606
Give him a cup of something, and I'll
ring down if I can make contact.

572
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,091
Very good, m'lord.

573
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,968
- So, what are you going to say?
- ROBERT: I've heard they're selling.

574
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,122
I might know someone
who's interested,

575
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,725
but I thought I'd check first.

576
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,281
Very ingenious. You would
have made a good courtier.

577
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,569
(SCOFFS) I would not.
Too much standing.

578
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,969
Ah, Mrs Hughes...

579
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,487
You don't think maybe you should
start calling me Elsie?

580
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,406
Not here. Not while
we're working.

581
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,531
Go on, then.

582
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,160
I wish we could settle the date.

583
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,322
There's no rush, is there?

584
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,167
- (INDISTINCT CHATTING)
- (CLEARS THROAT)

585
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,005
Mr Mason.
His Lordship's ringing them now.

586
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,448
- Thank you.
- But they can't just tell you to go.

587
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,444
Not when you and your dad have
put in so many years there.

588
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,888
They've given me notice, and I
shall have some compensation,

589
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,611
but in the end, I'm just
a tenant, aren't I?

590
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,125
That's not how I see it.

591
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,691
Doesn't matter how you see it.

592
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,808
- (DOOR CLOSES)
- That's how it is.

593
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,564
Hello!

594
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,562
Ah, hello.

595
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,849
Hello, Miss Denker.
What's your mission today?

596
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,843
Not stirring any
trouble up, I hope.

597
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,651
Me? Now, why would you say that?

598
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,290
(SCOFFING) I can't imagine!

599
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,408
No, I've come here
to sympathize.

600
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,891
Sympathize? What with?

601
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,601
News that the household here's
to be reduced. I am sorry.

602
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,048
- What? Where did this come from?
- Oh, she never disappoints.

603
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,646
I suppose that's me gone, then.
Last in, first out.

604
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,131
You don't know that.

605
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,602
Oh, I suppose it comes down to
who's useful and who's ornamental.

606
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,364
Wouldn't you agree, Mr Barrow?

607
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,120
If it's all right with
you, Miss Denker,

608
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,168
I'd rather talk to
the organ-grinder.

609
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,563
Oh, dear. I hope I haven't
cast a shadow. (CHUCKLES)

610
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,929
What did you think you were
doing? Sprinkling sunshine?

611
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,004
By the way,
when did that new maid start?

612
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,491
What new maid?

613
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,802
She came here this morning with
a message from Her Ladyship.

614
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,920
- I haven't the first idea who...
- (BELL CHIMING)

615
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,450
Oh, that's the library.

616
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,286
- Mr Mason, you'd better come with me.
- Yeah.

617
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,169
Andrew, what are you
doing down here?

618
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,322
Mr Molesley thought
we might need more milk.

619
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,811
Well, get it, then.

620
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,442
Mr Carson, did you know anything
about staff being laid off?

621
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,125
It's not a subject for
the here and now.

622
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,965
Are you ready, Mr Mason?

623
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,490
Naturally, Sir John is very
upset by the whole thing.

624
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,971
I should think he is.

625
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,647
Unfortunately, they couldn't sell the
estate without vacant possession.

626
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,131
So, it's sold now?

627
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:28,884
Yes. At least, they think so.

628
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,883
And I have to go.

629
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,044
Not necessarily. That would be
the decision of the new owners.

630
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,531
I see.

631
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,251
Well,

632
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,801
thank you very much
for putting in a word, m'lord.

633
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,043
If I hear anything more,
I'll make sure Daisy knows it.

634
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,731
Thank you.

635
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,249
CORA: Poor man.

636
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,885
To have his whole future hanging in
the balance at his time of life.

637
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,883
These are days of uncertainty.

638
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,804
How was John when
you spoke to him?

639
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,291
In a state.

640
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,290
They're throwing in the towel.

there won't be too much left.

00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,771
Poor Marian.

644
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,924
To be separated
from her only son.

645
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,445
She'll hate that.

646
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,845
I said we'd go to the sale.

647
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,331
Do you want to?

648
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,847
Well, John's father and my papa
were as thick as thieves.

649
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,651
It might be nice to find a
memento of the old boy.

I wish you'd stay out of it.

655
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,489
Not least because
she's bound to win.

656
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,165
Nobody ever stops her.

657
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,608
What you mean is,
no-one has stopped her yet.

658
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,770
Can I help you, Miss Denker?

659
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,129
No, I'm just tidying
Her Ladyship's papers.

660
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,648
She'll be down in a minute.

661
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,804
- I'll tell Mrs Potter.
- Oh, how very reassuring.

What are you talking about?

00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,044
No. I don't want to worry you.

665
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,531
Worry me with what?

666
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,650
(SIGHS) Oh, well,
if you must know,

667
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,849
there's going to be a shortening
of the wages bill around here.

668
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,367
But... (SCOFFS) Why
burden ourselves?

What can we do? <i>Que sera, sera.</i>

Are you trying to suggest, in
your usual, maladroit fashion,

671
00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:24,484
that our jobs are in peril?

672
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,086
Well, I hate to sound
smug, Mr Spratt,

673
00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:31,848
but I would suggest that Her Ladyship
will always need to dress and undress.

674
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,209
Oh, while a butler is a luxury?
Is that what you're saying?

675
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,840
My advice, Mr Spratt,
is to live for the moment.

676
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,082
We none of us know

Oh, thank you, Denker.

00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,524
Spratt, I'll have dinner
whenever it's ready.

681
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,489
Would you tell Mrs Potter?

682
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,723
I will, m'lady, although you could
have rung for her yourself.

- SPRATT: Oh...
- I beg your pardon?

I was just thinking
aloud, m'lady. I'm sorry.

Not yet.

Don't be blackmailed, m'lady.

I know it's easy
to say, but don't.

I think I agree. If
I'm strong enough.

Either way, my

Were you a messenger
from Mrs Hughes?

You could say that, yes.

714

You were on a mission for her?

Yes. It's true.

tell me she's changed her mind?

revive our dreams.

No, you won't.

At least, not as happy
as you could have been.

Oh, I'll say.

I'm not embarrassed, exactly.

I do not believe that embarrassment
has much of a part to play

00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,491
yes, I do.

772
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,327
I want a real marriage,
a true marriage,

773
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,563
with everything
that that involves.

774
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,609
And I hope I do not
ask the indelicate

775
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,331
when I send you back
to relay this message.

776
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,244
Oh, don't worry about me.

777
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,086
I love her, Mrs Patmore.

778
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,686
I am happy and tickled

779
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,205
and bursting with pride

780
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,806
that she would agree
to be my wife.

781
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,766
And I want us to live as closely
as two people can

782
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,241
for the time that
remains to us on Earth.

783
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,731
(CHUCKLES)

784
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,406
Well, you couldn't
make it any clearer.

785
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,005
I'll say that for you.

786
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,406
And if she feels that she must

787
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,005
withdraw,

788
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,251
so be it.

789
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,047
But I could never
have lived some

790
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,522
pat-a-cake friendship lie.

791
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,245
No. I didn't think you would.

792
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:40,406
And for what it's worth, I wish
you the best of luck, Mr Carson.

793
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,449
Thank you, Mrs Patmore.

794
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,042
That is worth a great deal.

795
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,081
I'm sorry to disturb
Your Ladyship.

796
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,484
Yes, Spratt. What is it?

797
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,605
I just hope you will be kind enough
to give me sufficient warning.

798
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,411
I'm sorry, what?

799
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,281
So I may find myself alternative
employment, before I am cast out.

800
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:16,930
(CHUCKLING) Oh, Spratt...

801
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,051
You've clearly had a bad dream and
are confusing it with reality.

802
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,846
Your Ladyship's humour
is always a tonic,

803
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,480
but it is a matter
of some importance to me.

804
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,087
I'm sorry... If you were talking in
Urdu, I couldn't understand you less.

805
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:32,004
Miss Denker has broken the news

806
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,165
that the households, here and at
the Abbey, are to be reduced.

807
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,322
- Has she?
- I do not see how you could manage

808
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,484
without a cook,
a housemaid or Miss Denker,

809
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,484
which leaves me as the only
candidate for removal.

810
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,167
Well, I believe many people live
without butlers. So I'm told.

811
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,651
Exactly.

812
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,009
And all I ask is some warning
when my time is up.

813
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,164
Well, leave this to me, Spratt.
I will attend to it.

814
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:57,651
Your Ladyship.

815
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:06,891
(SIGHS)

816
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,168
DAISY: So, can I go
to the auction tomorrow?

817
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,767
Well, why does Mr Mason want to go,
himself? Won't it make him sad?

818
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,129
I think he's quite nostalgic. He's
known the family all his life.

819
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:17,645
Well, it's bound to be upsetting.

820
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,211
Which is why I want to help.

821
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,840
- Oh, I see that.
- And the new owners will be there.

822
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,445
(CHUCKLES) Of course they will.

823
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:24,931
They'll be wanting
to buy a lot of the stuff,

824
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,003
to make it convincing
when they take over.

825
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,970
We'll be back in time for tea,
so I can do my work for dinner.

826
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,327
- But how will you get there?
- I've asked Mr Stark

827
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,608
if I can ride
in the front of one of the cars.

828
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,650
Well, you've got a nerve!
Mr Carson won't like that.

829
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,610
Even Mr Carson can't always
have it his own way.

830
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,091
Ooh.

831
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:43,730
MOLESLEY: Lady Mary's
gone into Thirsk, miss,

832
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,320
and I don't know
when she'll be back.

833
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:46,691
Who shall I say has called?

834
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,410
- I'll wait.
- Er...

835
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,530
(STUTTERS) Lady Mary could be several
hours. There's no point in waiting.

836
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,728
- I will, all the same.
- Thank you, Mr Molesley.

837
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,769
I'll deal with this.

838
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,282
I have no desire to be rude, miss,
but if you wish to see Lady Mary,

839
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,885
I suggest you make
an appointment.

840
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,565
What's going on? Carson?

841
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:04,722
Nothing to concern you, m'lord.

842
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,042
This young lady is leaving.

843
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,400
On the contrary m'lord,
it will concern you quite a lot,

844
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,444
'cause I've waited
for Lady Mary long enough.

845
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,371
Oh, my dear, how exotic!

846
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,521
I expect to find the whole
of the Bloomsbury Set

847
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,520
- curled up in a corner with a book.
- (CHUCKLES)

848
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,562
Michael knew quite a few
of them, actually.

849
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:33,690
I met Virginia Woolf in this
room, and Lytton Strachey,

850
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,205
although he didn't
stay very long.

851
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:36,930
I wish I'd known
your Mr Gregson.

852
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,243
Oh, we smiled at each other
and spoke about the weather,

853
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,291
but we never really talked.

854
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,523
Sometimes I feel I've been given
one little bit of happiness,

855
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,205
and that will have to do.

856
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,569
From now on, my life will
be all of a pattern.

857
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:53,247
Nonsense. You have Marigold.

858
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:54,731
That's true.

859
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,449
So, what do you
think I should do?

860
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:58,931
Would you like a London life?

861
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,082
The fact is, I'd like a life.

862
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:03,049
Well, I won't speak
against London,

863
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,285
but remember, I had no children
to make a country life sensible.

864
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,046
Whereas I have a child
I can't acknowledge.

865
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,441
People aren't <i>so
</i> curious in London.

866
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,602
No. They couldn't care less.

867
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,125
Isn't that a relief?

868
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,441
And then there's the museums
and galleries and theater.

869
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,648
Oh, people always
talk of such things,

870
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,327
but one only ever goes
when friends come to stay.

871
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:28,691
When's your train?

872
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,569
You're right. We should go.

873
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:34,122
But the question remains.
What is your future?

874
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,331
Hanging around Downton,
being sniped at by Mary?

875
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,007
Charity work? Travelling?
Publishing? What?

876
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,841
Well, that's the problem.
I don't know.

877
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:46,370
I just don't know.

878
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,565
I've been watching out for you.

879
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:57,529
Why? What is it?

880
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,526
A young woman of most unappealing
aspect has been asking for you.

881
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,081
- Was her name Bevan?
- I knew she was trouble.

882
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:06,846
She may cause trouble for me, but
only because I've been foolish.

883
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,241
Oh, we can all be
foolish, m'lady.

884
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:10,731
You know, Carson, (SIGHS)

885
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,609
someday there'll be
something I've done

886
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,520
- that even you will condemn me for.
- (SCOFFS)

887
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,170
I doubt that very much.

888
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,687
- Did she say if she'll be back?
- She never left.

889
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,171
I tried to get her to go, but...

890
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,529
- Where is she now?
- In the library, with His Lordship.

891
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,328
Papa, I don't know what
this person has told you...

892
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:33,811
Only the truth.

893
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,760
...but I hope you're not
giving her any money.

894
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:37,485
Not on my account.

895
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,130
Take it and go.

896
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,169
And remember, one word...

897
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,009
Aren't you the lucky one?

898
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,090
But then I suppose
you always are.

899
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:55,451
What did she say?

900
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:56,931
Enough.

901
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,851
(DRAWER CLOSING)

902
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,651
I find I'm most disappointed
in Tony Gillingham.

903
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,131
Don't be.

904
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,968
He wanted us to get married.

905
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,570
Our week in sin was just
part of his plan to persuade me.

906
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,011
Then why did you say no?

907
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,402
Because, when it came to it,
he wasn't right.

908
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:22,930
At least, not for me.

909
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,927
And you didn't think of George?

910
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,886
Of course I did. I
thought of all of you.

911
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,770
I just needed to be sure.

912
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,482
I suppose you were a
widow, after all,

913
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,449
and not a deb in
her first season.

914
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,160
But it's still not the way your
parents would have behaved.

915
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,845
(CHUCKLES) Oh, I don't know...

916
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,480
If you believe what they write
about the Edwardians these days.

917
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,921
What were you planning to do
with Miss Bevan?

918
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,084
I wasn't going to be
blackmailed, I know that.

919
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:53,847
So I suppose I'd have let her
publish and be damned.

920
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,123
Rather tough on Tony and Mabel.

921
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:03,488
Anyway, I'll telephone the bank in
the morning and return your £1,000.

922
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:08,928
I gave her £50, and here's her
signed confession to blackmail.

923
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,209
How did you manage that?

924
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,523
I told her that she could either
have £50, on condition of signing

925
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,011
or leave with nothing

926
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,084
and be reported to the police.

927
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:19,731
But...

928
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,405
How do you know she
won't be back?

929
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,643
I said, if anything were published
or if we ever see her face again,

930
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,441
I'd use it and she'd
be prosecuted.

935
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,447
You're still out of
pocket, 50 quid.

936
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:42,931
I must repay it.

937
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:44,411
No need.

938
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:46,085
It was money well spent.

939
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,611
Why?

940
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,001
To learn that my eldest child
is a child no more

941
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,322
and quite tough enough
to run this estate.

942
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:55,447
Indeed, she could clearly
run the kingdom,

943
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,166
should she be called
upon to do so.

944

Well, I hope you mean that.

I do.

946
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,162

ever to see who, in the future,

947

to your exacting standards.

948
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:11,571
Maybe no-one.

949
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,446

Someone after money.
Usual thing.

953
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,882
- Did you give her any?
- Some.

It was quite a good cause.

- Has Edith telephoned?
- Yes. She'll be home for dinner.

I wonder if she wants to
come to Mallerton tomorrow.

I should think so. So do I.

- I'm sorry I put you through that.
- (SCOFFS)

It was difficult,
I'll not deny it.

967
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,844
You think I should accept
his terms and set the date?

Oh, no, no. That's

moving when he spoke of you.

- He avoided vulgarity, then?
- MRS PATMORE: vulgarity?

Mr Carson wouldn't be vulgar if
they put him on a seaside postcard.

up your nose at the new owners?

No. I just don't think
I'll be in Yorkshire

It's time to go forward.

And I'm unmarried, so
I must do it alone.

we'd know if there was a plan...

Well, he doesn't seem that
bothered, so it can't be that bad.

992
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,328
You and I both know
that the worse it is,

993
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,164
the less he'll want
to seem bothered.

994
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,047
Besides, they all want
to be rid of me anyway.

995
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,721
- I'm sure that's not true.
- Yes. Yes, it is.

996
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,201
You've seen how they warn Andy
to keep away from me.

997
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,010
We got on very well
when he first arrived,

998
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,049
but now he hardly
dares to talk to me.

999
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:30,811
I think this is
all in your head.

1000
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,291
No, it's not.

1001

Oh, good. You're here!

I just took a chance.

I thought you might be
at the auction with the others.

1004
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,285
I don't like auctions,

1005
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,205
especially when I knew the house
in the old days.

Well, you and I differ when it
comes to the importance of things.

Does it ever get cold
on the moral high ground?

1010
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,001
I wanted to come because
I don't want us to fall out

I thought you told Spratt

about the staff being cut

I may have mentioned it.

Oh, well.
As I said, nothing's decided.

00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,966
But Your Ladyship couldn't
manage without a maid.

00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,361
Mrs Crawley does. Don't you?

Indeed I do,

upset poor Denker.

1079
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:51,371
Learn from us.

1080
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,801
Ah, there are the Hendersons.

1081
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:03,009
Is there anything you'd like to
buy, or are we just looking?

1082
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,401
I wanted to see the house
as much as anything.

1083
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,211
I know this hall from
Christmas parties and the like,

1084
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,840
but, er, I've a mind
to poke around.

1085
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,080
That were a wedding present
when Sir John got married.

1086
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:15,730
A gift from the tenants.

1087
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,884
I contributed half a crown to
it. I had no beer for a week.

1088
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,530
Shame to see it sold.

1089
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,330
I don't think it's right.

1090
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,445
That was for Best of Breed
at the county fair.

1091
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,523
Won by a Holstein milker.

1092
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,524
Me dad tended the Holsteins
before he took over our farm.

1093
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,246
It's as if they were selling
your past along with their own.

1094
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:36,451
That's them.

1095
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,086
That's the new owners,
Mr and Mrs Philip Henderson.

1096
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,647
The ones who won't guarantee
that you can stay on?

1097
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,131
Spare me, Daisy.
There's no need to...

1098
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,681
- I'm not having it.
- Daisy! It won't do any good.

1099
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,122
DAISY: I have to say something!
It's not fair!

1100
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,482
MR HENDERSON: Who
is this person?

1101
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,088
She's the daughter-in-law
of one of our tenant farmers.

1102
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,126
- Excuse me, but are you the new owner?
- I am.

1103
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,681
So it's you who insists
on serving notice to men

1104
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,081
- who've given their life to the land?
- Daisy...

1105
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,601
You boot out families who've
been here for generations.

1106
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,091
(VOICE BREAKING) What gives
you the right to do that?

1107
00:56:07,240 --> 00:56:08,571
Mrs Mason, there's really no...

1108
00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:10,404
I'm afraid that I don't think
you're the man to tell me.

1109
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,608
Daisy, pull yourself together.
What do you think you're doing?

1110
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,489
A man who sells his
wedding presents!

1111
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,843
Do you know what it meant for a
farmer to give half a crown?

1112
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,331
- (SIGHS)
- Or don't you care?

1113
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,563
- Daisy, stop this at once!
- I'm sorry, m'lord, but no.

1114
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,083
Mr Mason has given his
whole life to this farm,

1115
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,607
like his father
and grandfather before him,

1116
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,091
but where's the gratitude?

1117
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:32,811
Mr Henderson, I'm sure she doesn't
mean to be rude. I hope...

1118
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,645
You can't imagine that if I do
keep on some of the tenants,

1119
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,440
her father-in-law
would now be among them?

1120
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,841
Now, please don't be hasty.
She's upset for old Mason...

1121
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,571
I'm sorry, Darnley. I don't find
this sort of thing amusing.

1122
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,606
Good day, Mrs Mason.
You have not helped your cause.

1123
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,286
- Look, I'm speaking for myself, not...
- Good day, Mrs Mason.

1124
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,602
Now, will you excuse me?
The auction's starting.

1125
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,131
I'm sure she didn't mean any...

1126
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:53,645
Oh, God. What have I done?

1127
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,450
I daresay he'll cool off.

1128
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,328
ROBERT: I wouldn't
put money on it.

1129
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,403
EDITH: We should
find our chairs.

1130
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:10,727
Good afternoon,
lords, ladies and gentlemen.

1131
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,124
The first lot consists of
a set of sporting prints

1132
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:15,885
from mid-19th century.

1133
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,480
Who would like to
start the bidding?

1134
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,767
£2, anyone? <i>£2</i> to start with.

1135
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,481
We're selling things
we shouldn't have.

1136
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:25,166
But I kept thinking of that poky
little house in Thurloe Square

1137
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:26,970
and I couldn't see
what else to do.

1138
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:28,565
You might have
stored some of it,

1139
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,080
in case one of the children
starts up another house one day.

1140
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,487
That's a dream. Face it.

1141
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,000
In 20 years' time, there won't be a
house of this size still standing

1142
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:38,770
that isn't an institution.

1143
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,241
AUCTIONEER: ...is gonna sell
at £1.17 and six...

1144
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:42,731
And sold!

1145
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,365
(EXHALES) That's it.

1146
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,320
They're in the drawing room,
they've got coffee and we're done.

1147
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:50,811
- How was your day?
- Not very good.

1148
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,248
I'm sure it's not as bad as you
say. Mr Henderson will understand.

1149
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,324
No, he won't. I went to help
and I've made things worse.

1150
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,086
- This was in front of His Lordship?
- In front of all of them!

1151
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,607
- That could prove awkward.
- Thank you, Thomas.

1152
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,570
If they dismiss me, I've got
no-one but myself to blame.

1153
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,131
It won't come to that, Daisy.

1154
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,329
- What will happen to Mr Mason now?
- DAISY: What can he do?

1155
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,403
Try to find another farm
to take on as tenant,

1156
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,927
- but who'll let him at his age?
- It's a good life, though, isn't it?

1157
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:16,684
Are you turning into
a country boy, Andy?

1158
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:18,171
You'll have to let
me show you around.

1159
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,561
(CHUCKLES) I think
Andy can find his own way round.

1160
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,449
He looks sharp enough to me.

1161
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,125
CARSON: No, no.
Come in, come in.

1162

They're here, or they
were a minute ago.

Sergeant Willis
has something to tell you.

I'm sorry it's late, but I
thought you'd want to hear.

1165

That depends what it is.

1166

Shall we go somewhere private?

1167

For God's sake, they've all lived
with this <i>as</i> long as we have.

1168
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,887
They've found a witness
to the meeting in the pub.

1169
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,088
They've tied them together.
Her confession is real.

1170
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,282

I'll go and tell His Lordship.

But you both helped us
when all hope was gone,

We must go down at once.

There's some Veuve Clicquot in a
very cool part of the cellar.

1185
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,926
It's not iced, of course,
but it would be good to drink.

1186
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,289
Fetch it. Fetch three, four
bottles! We must mark this moment.

Do we know any more about the woman
who did it, Sergeant Willis?

Only that she sent a message
to Mrs Bates, m'lady.

That's enough, I promise.

1225
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,166
I know you want it to be true,

1226
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,166
and I love you for it. So much.

1227
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:15,691
And I love you.

1228
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,444
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

1229
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,001
- What are you doing?
- Is this the refrigerator?

1230
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:29,491
It is.

1231
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,530
Mrs Patmore hates it.

1232
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:33,205
Oh, of course she does.

1233
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,848
CORA: Don't eat anything
that's meant for tomorrow.

1234
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,331
ROBERT: Now, this takes me back.

1235
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,723
Did I ever tell you about our cook
when I was a boy, Mrs Yardley?

1236
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,211
CORA: Many times.

1237
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:46,330
She was quite a crosspatch,
but she was always kind to me.

1238
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,881
She used to let me hide down
here when I was in trouble.

1239
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,168
And she kept a box of biscuits
and sweets just for me.

1240
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:52,651
Rosamund was furious.

1241
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,200
- Rosamund was jealous.
- (CHUCKLES)

1242
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:56,211
- Come to bed.
- (CLEARS THROAT)

1243
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:58,729
Sorry, Carson. We
shouldn't be here.

1244
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:00,451
Oh, quite all right, m'lady.

1245
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:05,080
But I did want a private word
on the question of Daisy.

1246
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:07,360
I've heard what happened
at the auction.

1247
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,641
And I don't believe we can
allow it to go unnoticed.

1248
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:13,009
- No, I suppose not.
- It is a dismissible offence.

1249
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:14,571
Oh, isn't that a bit harsh?

1250
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,205
On the day of Bates' good news?

1251
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:17,691
I'm sure she regrets it.

1252
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,288
I daresay Guy Fawkes regretted trying
to blow up Parliament, m'lady,

1253
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,090
but he still had
to pay the price.

1254
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,005
Can't you just tick her off?

1255
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,720
You'll know how to ensure
there's no repetition.

1256
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,087
Very good, m'lady,
if that's what you wish.

1257
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,329
We're going up. Good night.

1258
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,323
Good night, m'lord, m'lady.

1259
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,680
Have you thought about
where the Carsons will live?

1260
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,524
- After they're married.
- Not really.

1261
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,489
I'd rather put it
out of my mind.

1262
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,048
Will we have to call
her Mrs Carson?

1263
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:47,531
I'm not sure I can.

1264
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:49,842
- We have higher mountains to climb.
- (SHUTS FRIDGE)

1265
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,040
Have you come to a decision
about the hospital?

1266
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:55,091
What sort of a decision?

1267
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:59,285
I suppose I hope you can support
Mama's efforts to keep control.

1268
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,408
Or better yet, stay
out of it entirely.

1269
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:04,040
I can't stay out of it, Robert.
It's too important.

1270
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,886
And your mother,
incidentally, is wrong.

1271
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:11,569
(SIGHS) All of which adds up to a
very trying spring and summer ahead.

- (MUSIC CONTINUES)
- (PEOPLE LAUGHING)

1273
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,481
CARSON: I suppose you thought
there'd be no repercussions,

1274
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:28,011
what with Mr Bates' news.

1275
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,766
No. I knew I hadn't
heard the last of it.

1276
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:32,604
I just want to know
how bad it'll be.

1277
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:36,731
Bad enough, I hope, to make you feel
small and foolish and immature,

1278
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,850
and unable to control your
feelings in an adult manner.

1279
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:41,571
I feel all those things already.

1280
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,889
But not bad enough for you
to lose your place.

1281
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,247
If it were up to me,
it might be different.

1282
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,411
But Her Ladyship insisted on
a second chance.

1283
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:51,891
Thank you, Mr Carson.

1284
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:53,530
Don't thank me, thank her.

1285
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,365
Now, get back to the party
before I change my mind.

1286

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

1288
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,365
Right, well, shall we
re-join the others?

1289
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:20,491
Before we do...

1290
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,528
I know I've been
putting you off...

1291
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:30,086
And Mrs Patmore
spoke of your conversation.

1292
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:32,011
I knew she would.

1293
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:34,761
I hope we've not shocked you
between us.

1294
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,050
No, I'm not shocked.

1295
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:39,364
I thought it better
to be honest.

1296
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:41,449
Once you'd raised the matter.

1297
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:43,284
I agree. Much better.

1298
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,881
I wouldn't want you to think
that I'd inveigled you

1299
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:49,487
into an arrangement which was
not what you'd expected.

1300
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:51,571
I would never think that.

1301
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:55,411
Right.

1302
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,089
Well, if you've had
second thoughts,

1303
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,721
I think we should let the
staff know in the morning.

1304
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,570
I won't make a big announcement.

1305
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:06,008
We'll just tell one or two people
and let it come out naturally.

1306
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,962
There'll be a bit of a
nine days' wonder, of course,

1307
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:11,929
but we'll get over it.

1308
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,762
Er... You misunderstand me.

1309
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,846
I was afraid
I'd be a disappointment to you.

1310
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:23,088
That I couldn't hope to
please you as I am now.

1311
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:26,609
But if you're sure...

1312
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,449
I have never been so
sure of anything.

1313
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,608
Well, then, Mr Carson,

1314
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:36,411
"if you want me,"

1315
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,051
"you can have me."
