　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　You shouldn't do that in here.

　　WILLIAM

　　I don't like being in the pantry all alone. Mr Carson won't mind. He's gone into the village.

　　THOMAS

　　He'll mind if I tell him.

　　DAISY

　　That's ridiculous.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Do you think so' She wants it put onto a new shirt, but it's a bit old fashioned to my taste.

　　DAISY

　　Oh, no, it's lovely.

　　ANNA

　　Have you recovered, Daisy?

　　MR BATES

　　What from'

　　ANNA

　　She had a bit of a turn when we were in Lady Mary's room, didn't you?

　　DAISY

　　I'm fine, thank you.

　　THOMAS

　　What sort of a turn? Did you see a ghost?

　　WILLIAM

　　Will you leave her alone if she doesn't want to talk about it?

　　THOMAS

　　I've often wondered if this place is haunted¹. It ought to be.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Of the spirits of maids and footmen who died in slavery?

　　MR BATES

　　But not, in Thomas's case, from overwork.

　　THOMAS

　　Come on, Daisy, what was it?

　　DAISY

　　I don't know. I was thinking, first we had the Titanic²

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Don't keep harping³ back to that.

　　DAISY

　　I know it was a while ago, but we knew him. I think of how we laid the fires for Mr Patrick, but he drowned in them icy waters.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　For God's sake.

　　DAISY

　　And then there's the Turkish gentleman. It just seems there's been too much death in the house.

　　WILLIAM

　　What's that got to do with Lady Mary's bedroom?

　　DAISY

　　Nothing. Nothing at all.

　　[INT. VILLAGE HALL - DAY]

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Afternoon, ma'am.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　When do you put that magnificent display of prizes on show?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Not till the day itself.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　I remember a superb⁴ cup from last year.

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　The Grantham Cup. It was donated by the late Lord Grantham for the best bloom in the village.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　And who won it?

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I did.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Well done. And the year before?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Her Ladyship won that one, too.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Heaven's, how thrilling. And before that?

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　You've met my father.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Good afternoon, Mr Molesley. What are you showing this year?

　　MR WILLIAM MOLESLEY

　　Oh, this and that.

　　MR MOLESLEY

　　Only the finest roses in the village.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Really? What an achievement.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　It's a wonderful area for roses. We're very lucky. We'll see some beautiful examples right across the show, won't we, Mr Molesley?

　　MR WILLIAM MOLESLEY

　　If you say so, Your Ladyship.

　　[INT. CORRIDOR/SERVANTS' STAIRCASE⁵ - DAY]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　What's up with you?

　　THOMAS

　　Nothing.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　His Lordship's blaming Mr Napier for spreading gossip⁶ about Lady Mary, but it was you, wasn't it?

　　THOMAS

　　Why do you say that?

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Because Napier wasn't in on it. Only four people knew he was in her room that night. You, me, Lady Mary, and possibly Daisy, and I haven't said nothing to nobody.

　　THOMAS

　　Well, I didn't tell about Pamuk, I just wrote that Lady Mary was no better than she ought to be.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Who did you write it to?

　　THOMAS

　　Only a friend of mine, valet to Lord Savident.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　You know what they say about Old Savident. “Not so much an open mind as an open mouth.” No wonder it's all 'round London.

　　THOMAS

　　You won't tell, will you? I'm in enough trouble as it is.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Why, what's happened?

　　THOMAS

　　Mr Bates saw me nicking a bottle of wine.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Has he told Mr Carson?

　　THOMAS

　　Not yet, but he will when he's feeling spiteful. I wish we could be shot of him.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Then think of something quick. Turn the tables on him before he has a chance to nail you.

　　[INT. GREAT HALL - NIGHT]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I thought you went to bed hours ago.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I was writing a note for Lynch. I need the governess cart tomorrow.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I'm going to Moulton.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, don't risk the traffic in Moulton, not now every Tom, Dick, and Harry⁷ seems to have a motor.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Hardly.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Last time I was there, there were five cars parked in the marketplace and another three drove past while I was waiting. Get Branson to take you in the car. Neither of us are using it.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I thought I'd pop in on old Mrs Steward⁸. Will you tell Mama if I forget?

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - MORNING]

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　You're late this morning.

　　DAISY

　　The library grate needed a real going over. Are any of them down yet?

　　THOMAS

　　Lady Sybil's in the dining room.

　　DAISY

　　I'll start with her room, then.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　Daisy, you know when you were talking about the feeling of death in the house...

　　DAISY

　　I was just being silly.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　I  found myself  wondering  about  the  connection  between  the  poor  Turkish  gentleman,  Mr Pamuk, and Lady Mary's room. Only, you were saying how you felt so uncomfortable in there.

　　DAISY

　　Well, I've...I've got to get on. I'm late enough as it is.
