[EXT. COURTYARD - NIGHT]

　　[Anna follows Bates out into the courtyard and puts a hand on his arm to stop him.]

　　ANNA

　　I don't believe it! You say my life is over and your wife will collect you first thing, and that's it? Have you mentioned this to anyone else?

　　MR BATES

　　Only Mr Carson and Mrs Hughes. The others can find out when I've gone.

　　ANNA

　　I know you've not told me the real reason.

　　MR BATES

　　You're wrong. Vera has reminded me that I'm a married man, that I must give my vows another chance. I had no right to involve you in my life.

　　ANNA

　　Yes, you see, but that's just what I don't agree with. You had every right. I know you. You're doing something gallant here, making a sacrifice for my honour, but I don't want you to. I don't care! Don't you understand? I don't care what people say. I'd live in sin with you. If she's threatening to ruin me, then let her. It's nothing to me. The only ruin that I recognize is to be without you.

　　MR BATES

　　Forget me and be happy, please.

　　ANNA

　　I couldn't. Not ever.

　　MR BATES

　　You should. And you must. I am nothing. [Anna sobs as Bates leaves.]

　　[INT. KITCHENS - NIGHT]

　　[William sits in the dark kitchen. Daisy enters.]

　　DAISY

　　William?

　　[Daisy turns on the light.]

　　DAISY

　　I thought everyone had gone up. I'm just looking for that magazine I Ethel were reading. I hope you noticed I'm not scared of electricity anymore.

　　[She sits down at the table next to William.]

　　DAISY

　　Well, not much. I couldn't touch a switch when it were only upstairs, but I've got used to it now.

　　[William continues to stare at the table.]

　　DAISY

　　I hate to see you like this.

　　[He looks at her.]

　　WILLIAM

　　Even though I'm a dirty coward?

　　DAISY

　　You're not. Not to me.

　　WILLIAM

　　Well, why don't I enlist? I could. I know I promised my dad, but he's not my owner. He's not the law. Am I frightened? Is that it. Honestly.

　　DAISY

　　Don't be so hard on yourself. No one wants to go to war. Agh, I wish you'd cheer up. Please. I'd do anything to cheer you up.

　　WILLIAM

　　Like what?

　　[Daisy checks the corridor, then smiles mischievously.]

　　DAISY

　　Like this.

　　[She kisses him. He sits up straight, surprised, then checks the corridor to see if anyone saw. He looks back at Daisy, and then sinks back into his dull mood.]

　　WILLIAM

　　You just feel sorry for me.

　　DAISY

　　William, I've kissed you. You've wanted me to long enough. Well, now I have. Enjoy it.

　　WILLIAM

　　Does this mean you'll be my girl? Daisy, 'cause if you were my girl, I know I could tackle anything.

　　[Daisy stares at William.]

　　[EXT. BATTLEFRONT TRENCHES - MORNING]

　　[Bombs explode nearby. Matthew and his manservant are in the bunker.]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　We were supposed to be at rest for ten days at least.

　　MEDICAL OFFICER

　　Orders arrived this morning, sir. [?] were hit bad, so they're out and we're in.

　　[Matthew puts Mary's good luck charm on the table.]

　　MEDICAL OFFICER

　　And it's [?] in the trench since we got here.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Anybody hurt?

　　MEDICAL OFFICER

　　[Rankin?]'s dead and Kent. And Corporal Wright was hit. Thank God the stretch bearers were there.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Let me see what the damage is now.

　　MEDICAL OFFICER

　　Sir.

　　[The soldier straightens in solute and exits. Matthew is about to follow, but goes back for Mary's lucky charm. Out in the trenches, Matthew ducks and covers as a bomb explodes, then continues.]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　All right?

　　SOLDIER

　　Morning, sir.

　　[Matthew continues, then ducks and covers again. When he looks up, he sees Thomas Barrow, the former First Footman.]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Thomas? It is Thomas, isn't it?

　　THOMAS

　　Corporal Barrow now, Mr Crawley.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　You'll never guess where I've just been.

　　[EXT. DOWNTON - MORNING]

　　[Bates takes one last look at Downton Abbey before the open carriage takes off with him and his wife. Anna cries as she watches from the house.]

　　[INT. LADY SYBIL'S BEDROOM - MORNING]

　　[The ladies help Sybil pack.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Where's Anna?

　　MRS HUGHES

　　She's not feeling very well today, Your Ladyship. I've taken over for the time being.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Oh, that's so kind of you. Just make sure Lady Sybil packs things she can get in and out of without a maid.

　　[Edith starts to pack an evening gown.]

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Oh, I don't need that. I'd never wear it.

　　LADY EDITH

　　But you must have something decent. Suppose you're invited to dinner.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I know this is hard for you to grasp, but I'm not there to go out to dinner. I'm there to learn.

　　LADY MARY

　　Take one, just in case.

　　[Mary hands Sybil a gown.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　We'll miss you.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Don't be silly. It's only two months. And I'll come home if I can.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Why don't I drive you?

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　She's taking enough chance with her life as it is.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Oh, Granny.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What is this driving mania?

　　LADY EDITH

　　It'll be useful. They won't let a healthy man drive us around for much longer. And if Sybil can be a nurse, why can't I be a chauffeur?

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Well, I shall leave you. I have been summoned by Cousin Isobel for tea. Goodbye Sybil.

　　[Violet holds out her arms for a hug, and Sybil embraces her with a smile.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　And good luck with it all.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　Thank you for being such a sport.

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　It's a big step you're taking, dear. But war deals out strange tasks. Remember your Great Aunt Roberta.

　　[Violet goes to leave.]

　　LADY MARY

　　What about her?

　　[Violet pauses at the door.]

　　VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　She loaded the guns at Lucknow.

　　[Mary and Sybil raise their eyebrows at each other.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　I'll come with you. I'll tell William to fetch the bags.

　　[Cora pauses at the door on her way out.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　The first one to leave the nest.

　　[Cora exits.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　Poor Mama. She always feels these things so dreadfully.

　　LADY MARY

　　That's her American blood.

　　LADY SYBIL

　　I'm so glad we've settled everything with Cousin Matthew. Aren't you, Mary?

　　LADY MARY

　　Oh, please stop treading on eggshells. I've other fish to fry.

　　[Edith scoffs.]

　　[EXT. DOWNTON - DAY]

　　[Sybil waves to her mother and sisters from the car. She begins to cry as they drive away.]
