　　[INT. KITCHENS - DAY]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Don't worry. The old lady'll sort something out now she's got the bit between her teeth.

　　DAISY

　　I'm not worried. Not in that way. I feel sorry for William, that's all.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Well, of course you do. We all do. I expect you're glad now that you let him have his little daydream¹.

　　DAISY

　　No, I'm not glad. I feel I've led him up the garden path with all that nonsense, and I'm ashamed. I'm so ashamed.

　　[Daisy starts to cry.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Oh. Shh.

　　[Vera Bates enters.]

　　VERA BATES

　　Hello.

　　MRS PATMORE

　　Mrs Bates, isn't it? Well, what do you want?

　　VERA BATES

　　Don't sound inhospitable, Mrs Patmore, when I've only ever known a welcome in this house.

　　[INT. OUTER HALL - DAY]

　　[Violet shouts awkwardly² into the telephone.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Yes! Ye-- the minister! Do-- Well, how many Marcuses of Flincher³ are there? Y-- Wha-- (aside to Edith) Is this an instrument of communication or torture? (into the phone) Well-- Hello? D-- Shrimpy? Y-- It's Aunt Violet! Y-- Very well, very-- Y-- And Susan? Y-- Oh, well g-- good. Good--   I won't beat about the bush, dear. Who might we know on the board of Leeds General Infirmary?

　　[INT. MRS HUGHES'S SITTING ROOM - DAY]

　　VERA BATES

　　Excuse me! It is not settled. It wasn't settled by me that you'd come back here and take up with your floozy again. As far as I recall, that was never settled.

　　ANNA

　　How did you find out he was here?

　　VERA BATES

　　Wouldn't you like to know.

　　MR BATES

　　What does it matter? Just say what you want. Spit it out.

　　VERA BATES

　　You thought you got the better of me, but you were wrong.

　　MR BATES

　　I never th--

　　VERA BATES

　　I'm going to sell my story anyway about Lady Mary, about the Turkish gentleman, about Miss Smith here.

　　ANNA

　　That's got nothing to do with me

　　VERA BATES

　　Well, that's not what I heard.

　　MR BATES

　　You gave your word. I gave you the money and you gave me your word.

　　VERA BATES

　　Well, guess what? I was lying.

　　MR BATES

　　If I hadn't come back to Downton, back to Anna, would you have stuck to our agreement?

　　VERA BATES

　　Well, we'll never know now, will we?

　　MR BATES

　　You're angry because I'm happy.

　　VERA BATES

　　Maybe. But you won't be happy long. [Vera leaves.]

　　[EXT. DOWNTON GARAGE - DAY]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Can you drive me to the hospital?

　　BRANSON

　　Aren't you needed here? I've already taken Lady Mary down.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I know. I want to be with her when Captain Crawley arrives. They can manage without me here for a while.

　　BRANSON

　　Is she still in love with him?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I don't want to talk about it.

　　BRANSON

　　Why? Because I'm the chauffeur⁴?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　No, because she's my sister.

　　BRANSON

　　You're good at hiding your feelings, aren't you? All of you. Much better than we are.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Perhaps. But we do have feelings and don't make the mistake of thinking we don't.

　　[Sybil steps into the car angry and closes the door.]

　　[INT. LEEDS GENERAL INFIRMARY - DAY]

　　[Mr Mason sits by his son's bedside.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　And has Lord Flincher's order been acted on?

　　DOCTOR

　　It has. There's an ambulance waiting. Although, no one quite knows how you managed it.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What exactly is the matter with him?

　　DOCTOR

　　His body's sustained⁵ too much damage. He cannot recover.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　But he looks so normal.

　　DOCTOR

　　Appearances can be cruelly deceptive⁶. The force of the blast⁷ has fatally injured his lungs.

　　LADY EDITH

　　But if he's lived this long...

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Would it make any difference if he stayed here? Or are you just making him as comfortable as can be?

　　DOCTOR

　　That's it. There's nothing more we can do for him.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　So, you agree with our plan.

　　DOCTOR

　　I don't know about you, but I'd rather die in a familiar place surrounded by familiar faces.

　　[Mr Mason approaches.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　There you are, Mr Mason.

　　[Mason salutes⁸ her.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　It seems we have everything settled. We'll be away before long.

　　MR MASON

　　He'll be forced to do better, if we can just get him back to where he knows. I feel sure of it.

　　DOCTOR

　　I shouldn't--

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Shouldn't worry too much. We'll know much more when he's rested.

　　MR MASON

　　I'm very grateful, milady. To both of you.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Let's get him ready.

　　[Edith and Mr Mason walk over to William. The doctor looks at Violet.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　See, sometimes we must let the blow fall by degrees. Give him time to find the strength to face

　　it.
