　　[INT. DOWNTON COTTAGE HOSPITAL, WARD¹ - DAY]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Right. They're here.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　May I stay to settle him in?

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Very well.

　　LADY MARY

　　I want to help, too.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Lady Mary, I appreciate your good intentions, but I'm concerned that Captain Crawley's condition may be very distressing² for you. Might I suggest that you hang back until the nurses have tidied him up a little?

　　LADY MARY

　　I'm not much good at hanging back, I'm afraid. I won't get in your way, I promise. But I will stay. You have volunteers, don't you? Well, that's what I am. A volunteer.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　All right. Everyone to their posts!

　　LADY SYBIL (to Mary)

　　You stand there.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Yes, this gentleman's second in.

　　NURSE

　　Yes, Doctor.

　　[Mary stares at Matthew as they bring him in.]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Number two, Nurse Crawley, here. Yes. Yes, just here. Gently, gently, gently.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Yes, sir. Take him under his feet.

　　[Mary, Sybil, and a stretcher bearer lift Matthew onto the hospital bed.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Cousin Matthew, can you hear me?

　　STRETCHER BEARER

　　He's breathing, but he's not been conscious since we've had him. We filled  him  full of morphine .

　　LADY SYBIL (nods)

　　Thank you.

　　[Mary looks at the card attached to Matthew's shirt.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　What does it say?

　　LADY MARY

　　Probable spinal³ damage.

　　[They exchange a worried look.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　It could mean anything. We'll know more in the morning.

　　[Sybil picks up Matthew's uniform and Mary's stuffed dog falls out.] LADY SYBIL

　　What's this doing here?

　　LADY MARY

　　I gave it to him for luck. He was probably carrying it when he fell.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　If only it had worked.

　　LADY MARY

　　He's alive, isn't he?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I should wash him. This bit can be grim⁴. Sometimes we have to cut off the clothes they've travelled in, and there's bound to be a lot of blood.

　　LADY MARY (nods)

　　How hot should the water be?

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Warm more than hot. And bring some towels.

　　[INT. DOWNTON - DAY]

　　[Daisy peers⁵ through a window at the stretcher bearers carrying William into a bedroom.]

　　[INT. SERVANTS' STAIRCASE⁶ - DAY]

　　THOMAS

　　You should never have told her Bates was here.

　　O'BRIEN

　　Don't I know it. And she was even worse after she'd seen him than before, ranting⁷ on about a scandal⁸ that would bring the roof down on the house of Grantham. Silly .

　　THOMAS

　　What scandal?

　　O'BRIEN

　　I thought she'd just come up and take a bite out of Bates. That's what it sounded like.

　　THOMAS

　　Then you should've asked more questions. You know what they say, the devil is in the detail.

　　O'BRIEN

　　I'm not standing⁹ by while she brings misery¹⁰ and ruin on my lady.

　　THOMAS

　　You started it.

　　O'BRIEN

　　Oh, yes, you're very important, aren't you? Very know-it-all with all of us at your beck and call.

　　THOMAS

　　I'm sorry if you're angry, but don't take it out on me. You did it.

　　[INT. LADY MARY'S BEDROOM - EVENING]

　　LADY MARY

　　Whom is she going to sell it to?

　　ANNA

　　She didn't say. Just that there was nothing we could do to stop her. Mr Bates has given her every last penny to keep her quiet, but she's tricked him, and now he's got nothing left to bargain with.

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, we both know what I must do.

　　ANNA

　　But how can you ask Sir Richard for help without telling him the truth?

　　LADY MARY

　　I'd rather he heard it from my lips that read it over his breakfast.

　　ANNA

　　Suppose he won't do anything? Suppose he throws you over?

　　LADY MARY

　　That's a risk I'll have to take. I'll go up to London tomorrow afternoon. It's a request th at demands to be made in person.

　　ANNA

　　What about Mr Matthew?

　　LADY MARY

　　Miss Swire will be here to keep him company. I think I can take some time off to save my own neck.
