　　[INT. LADY GRANTHAM'S BEDROOM - NIGHT]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　I suppose Mr Napier will have to manage everything.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I suppose he will.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　We all thought him a very nice gentleman.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Yes, he is nice.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Will we be seeing a lot of him?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I don't expect so, no.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Because we rather hope Lady Mary might have taken a shine to him.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Seems not.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Oh, well. There are plenty more fish in the sea than ever came out of it.

　　[INT. BACHELOR'S CORRIDOR¹/GUEST BEDROOM - NIGHT]

　　[Carson enters to check the room. Mary is sitting on a chair in a corner.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Are you looking for something?

　　[Carson is startled².]

　　MR CARSON

　　Lady Mary?

　　[Mary stands.]

　　MR CARSON

　　I just wanted to make sure the room had been tidied up after the...after the people had left.

　　LADY MARY

　　Life can be terribly unfair, can't it?

　　MR CARSON

　　It certainly can.

　　LADY MARY

　　Everything seems so golden one minute, then turns to ashes the next. Can I ask you a question, Carson? Have you ever felt your

　　life was somehow...slipping away? And there was nothing you could do to stop it?

　　MR CARSON

　　I think everyone feels that at one time or another.

　　LADY MARY

　　The odd³ thing is, I feel...for the first time, really...I understand what it is to be happy. It's just that I know that I won't

　　be.

　　MR CARSON

　　Don't say that, my lady. Don't raise the white flag quite yet. You will still be mistress⁴ of Downton. Old Lady Grantham hasn't

　　given up the fight, not by a long shot.

　　LADY MARY

　　Oh, that. I wasn't even thinking about that.

　　MR CARSON

　　And if I may say so, my lady, you're still very young.

　　LADY MARY

　　Am I? I don't feel it.

　　MR CARSON

　　We're all behind you, my lady. The staff. We're all on your side.

　　[Mary smiles.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Thank you, Carson. You've always been so kind to me. Always. From when I was quite a little girl. Why is that?

　　MR CARSON

　　Even a butler has his favourites, my lady.

　　[Mary smiles.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Does he? I'm glad.

　　ANNA

　　Lady Mary?

　　[Mary stands and dries her eyes.]

　　ANNA

　　Oh, milady, I thought--

　　[Anna sees Carson.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Carson and I were just making sure that everything was shipshape in Bristol fashion. And it is.

　　[Mary walks to the door and Anna exits.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Goodnight, Carson.

　　MR CARSON

　　Goodnight, my lady.

　　[They exit.]

　　[INT. LORD⁵ GRANTHAM'S DRESSING⁶ ROOM - MORNING]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Of all the men on earth. I mean, he looked so fit. Dr Clarkson said it was a heart attack. Did you see any signs?

　　MR BATES

　　I didn't have much of a chance to study the gentleman.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　You don't suppose there's anything sinister⁷ in it, do you? Every day the papers warn us of German spies, and they did say his

　　presence⁸ was essential for peace in Albania.

　　MR BATES

　　I doubt it, my lord. Anyone wanting to poison his food would have to get past Mrs Patmore.

　　[Robert chuckles⁹.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Blimey, that's a thought. Unless, of course, she's a spy herself.

　　[Bates cringes in pain. Robert is concerned.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I wish you'd tell me what's wrong, Bates. You'll be in no trouble. I only want to help.

　　MR BATES

　　I know that, Your Lordship, and I am grateful, truly, but there is nothing I need help with.

　　[Robert nods and lets it go.]

　　[INT. CORRIDOR - MORNING]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Good morning, Mrs Hughes.

　　MRS HUGHES

　　Good morning, milord.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I wonder if you...

　　[Robert looks back at his room where he left Bates.]
