[EXT. COURTYARD - NIGHT]

　　[Bates sits on a bench. Anna joins him.]

　　ANNA

　　I thought you must be out here.

　　MR BATES

　　And you'd be right.

　　ANNA

　　I know you're upset.

　　MR BATES

　　Yes, I'm upset. I've been working here two years and yet Mr Carson has no difficulty believing the worst of me.

　　ANNA

　　I think he has a great deal of difficulty, which is why he hasn't told His Lordship yet. Can't you just explain about Thomas?

　　MR BATES

　　Not now. It would sound like a false accusation.

　　ANNA

　　You can't take it lying down, because you're not guilty of any wrong, and before it's over, I'm going to tell the world.

　　MR BATES

　　Are you? I'm not sure the world is listening.

　　[INT. LADY SYBIL'S BEDROOM - NIGHT]

　　[Gwen is finishing the bed when Sybil enters.]

　　GWEN

　　Sorry, I'm a bit late tonight.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Not to worry. How are you?

　　GWEN

　　Bearing up.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　This isn't the end. You mustn't give up. We'll get there.

　　GWEN

　　Forgive me, my lady, but you don't get it. You're brought up to think it's all within your grasp, that if you want something enough it will come to you. Well, we're not like that. We don't think our dreams are bound to come true, because...because they almost never do.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Then that's why we must stick together. Your dream is my dream now, and I'll make it come true.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' CORRIDOR - NIGHT]

　　[Thomas talks with O'Brien as he takes a smoke break by the door.]

　　THOMAS

　　Why hasn't he done anything? He's had the story and the witnesses.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　\"The witnesses\"? What do you think this is, a murder mystery?

　　THOMAS

　　Well, Mr Bates can't accuse me now. It'll sound as if he's trying to get his own back.

　　MISS O'BRIEN

　　If I lose my job over this, I swear to God I'll swing for you.

　　[They look nervously as William passes through the corridor.]

　　[INT. KITCHENS - NIGHT]

　　[William enters as Daisy is cleaning up.]

　　WILLIAM

　　Is there any stale bread you're throwing out? And some salt.

　　DAISY

　　Why?

　　WILLIAM

　　Well, I thought I'd make a last hot poultice or Diamond. It'll give him a better night.

　　DAISY

　　You big softie. What'll Mr Lynch say?

　　[Daisy fetches a bowl.]

　　WILLIAM

　　Well, he doesn't mind. He says I've got the touch. He thinks I should pack this in and be a groom.

　　DAISY

　　Why don't you?

　　WILLIAM

　　My mum. She was so excited when I came here. They're proud of me, and I'd hate to spoil that.

　　DAISY

　　Do you miss them?

　　[William nods.]

　　DAISY

　　I never had that in my childhood. Someone you could always trust.

　　WILLIAM

　　I trust them, they trust me. There are no lies in our house.

　　[Daisy stops pouring water into the bowl as she looks up anxiously.]

　　WILLIAM

　　Thanks, that's enough.

　　[William leaves with the bowl and a pestle as Daisy considers his words.]

　　[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, GROUNDS - DAY]

　　[Isobel approaches Mary and Cora on their walk.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　I'm glad to catch you. We have a conundrum at the hospital, and I would value your opinion.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　'Course.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　We've been treating the mother of you footman, William Mason.

　　LADY MARY

　　What's the matter with her?

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Heart, I'm afraid. She's forbidden us to say anything to her son.

　　LADY MARY

　　That's ridiculous.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　She's gone home now, but she's still very ill. Clearly, the boy should go and see her, and I assume you would have no objections.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Of course not.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　So... do we break a patient's confidence and disobey her orders, or not?

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　We can't, if she's forbidden it.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　I must say I agree with you.

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, I'll tell him.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　No, you will not. She has rights, too, and there are rules.

　　LADY MARY

　　I don't care a fig about rules.
