　　[INT. LADY MARY'S BEDROOM - EVENING]

　　LADY MARY

　　I still don't see why you didn't tell me first.

　　ANNA

　　I'm sorry milady, but I didn't want to add to your troubles.

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, you have done, whether you wanted to or not.

　　[Anna is upset by Mary's reprimand.]

　　[INT. LIBRARY - EVENING]

　　[Lavinia wheels Matthew into the library.]

　　MATTHEW

　　Nobody's down yet.

　　LAVINIA

　　They won't be long. Oh, look. They‘ve cleared the tea, but forgotten to take that tray.

　　MATTHEW

　　Ring the bell.

　　LAVINIA

　　I‘ll do it. They‘ll be busy getting dinner ready.

　　MATTHEW

　　It‘s too heavy for you.

　　LAVINIA

　　No, it‘s not.

　　[Lavinia trips over a footstool.]

　　MATTHEW

　　Look out!

　　[Matthew stands up, trying to catch Lavinia, but she drops the tray and falls against the mantel.]

　　LAVINIA

　　Heavens, that was a near thing.

　　[Matthew takes her arm and they both realize he‘s standing¹.]

　　LAVINIA

　　My God.

　　[Robert and Lavinia rush down the corridor, collecting the family.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Mary! Girls! Cora, come at once.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Robert, wait.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Everyone come at once!

　　LADY MARY

　　What is it? What‘s happened?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Come and see this!

　　[They rush into the library.]

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Is it true? Is it true what Lavinia says?

　　[Lavinia goes to Matthew and he takes her hand to help himself stand up. The family is stunned² with joy.]

　　LADY MARY

　　I can‘t believe it!

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　It‘s so wonderful!

　　LADY SYBIL

　　It is, but don‘t tire yourself out. Sit down now and we‘ll send for Dr Clarkson.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　She‘s right. Edith, go with Branson. Ge--get Clarkson, but fetch Mama and Cousin Isobel as well. I don‘t care what they‘re doing. Tell them to come now. My dear chap, I cannot begin to tell you what this means to me.

　　MATTHEW

　　Well, it‘s pretty good news for me, too.

　　[Robert laughs in relief.]

　　[INT. LIBRARY - EVENING]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　There is only one possible explanation. It starts with my own mistake. Every indication told me that the spine³ was transected, which would have been incurable⁴.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　But when Sir John Coats came to see Matthew, he agreed with you.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Well, he didn‘t, not entirely⁵. He thought that it could conceivably be a case of spinal⁶ shock. That is, erm, intense bruising⁷, which was sufficiently⁸ severe to impede⁹ the leg mechanism¹⁰.

　　LADY MARY

　　But which would heal.

　　LAVINIA

　　Why didn‘t you tell us?

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Because I didn‘t agree with him, and I didn‘t want to raise Captain Crawley‘s hopes to no purpose.

　　MATTHEW

　　I understand. And I don‘t blame you.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　You must take it slowly. Rome wasn‘t built in a day.

　　MATTHEW

　　I know.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　And I‘m afraid you will carry a bruise¹¹ on your spine for the rest of your life.

　　MATTHEW

　　But I will have a life.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Yes. I think we can say that you will have a normal life, and it won‘t be long in coming.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　My darling boy. My darling boy.

　　[Isobel gets up to kiss him.]

　　MR CARSON

　　Excuse me, my lord, but Mrs Hughes was wondering what she should do about dinner.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Er, you'll all stay for dinner, won't you?

　　DR CLARKSON

　　I'm afraid I'm not dressed.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, nevermind that. Who cares about that? What about you, Mama?

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, certainly. All this unbridled joy has given me quite an appetite.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' CORRIDOR - EVENING]

　　ANNA

　　There you are. I wondered what had happened to you. It's wonderful news, isn't it?

　　MR BATES

　　Wonderful. Are you busy?

　　ANNA

　　I'm just going up to help in the dining room. Why?

　　MR BATES

　　It'll keep.

　　ANNA

　　No, tell me. I've got time.

　　MR BATES

　　It's just, something His Lordship said recently I can't get out of my mind. How Vera must have...bought the poison and taken it home with her.

　　ANNA

　　Yes, I suppose she must, and it's...it's just such a terrible thing to think of.

　　MR BATES

　　But she didn't. I did.

　　ANNA

　　What?

　　MR BATES

　　Months ago, before I left, Vera said we needed rat poison, and I bought it. It was arsenic¹², and I've been thinking that's what she must've taken.

　　ANNA

　　Have you told the police?

　　MR BATES

　　No.

　　ANNA

　　Tell them. If you don't, when they find out, it'll look bad.

　　MR BATES

　　But wouldn't I be asking for trouble?

　　ANNA

　　You're asking for trouble if you stay silent.

　　MR CARSON

　　Anna, we're starting.

　　ANNA

　　Sorry, Mr Carson.

　　[Anna follows Carson upstairs.]
