[INT. DOWNTON COTTAGE HOSPITAL, WARD - DAY]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　She's better off in London.

　　LADY MARY

　　If you say so.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Do you know why I sent her away?

　　LADY MARY

　　I think so.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Then you'll know I couldn't marry her. Not now. I couldn't marry any woman.

　　LADY MARY

　　And if they should just want to be with you? On any terms?

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　No one sane would want to be with me as I am now. Including me. Oh, God. I think I'm going to be sick.

　　[Mary picks up the sick bowl and helps Matthew sit up.]

　　LADY MARY

　　It's all right.

　　[Mary rubs his back as Matthew vomits into the bowl.]

　　LADY MARY

　　It's perfectly all right.

　　[Matthew lies back down and starts to chuckle as Mary wipes his mouth clean.]

　　LADY MARY

　　What is it?

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I was just thinking it seems such a short time ago since I turned you down, and now look at me. Impotent, cripple, stinking of sick. What a reversal. You have to admit, it's quite funny.

　　[Isobel enters and watches Mary sitting with Matthew.]

　　LADY MARY

　　All I'll admit is that you're here and you've survived the war. That's enough for now.

　　[Mary gets up and takes the sick bowl with her. She meets Isobel.]

　　LADY MARY

　　You're back. He'll be so pleased.

　　[Isobel looks at the sick bowl.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　You've become quite a nurse since I last saw you.

　　LADY MARY

　　No, no. It's nothing. Sybil's the nurse in this family.

　　[Mary leaves and Isobel walks to Matthew's bedside.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　It's the very opposite of nothing.

　　[Matthew sees Isobel and starts breathing hard with relief and tears.]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Mother.

　　[INT. DOWNTON - DAY]

　　[Mary walks up the steps, upset.]

　　LADY MARY

　　Bates. What's happened? How's William?

　　MR BATES

　　He's nearly there, my lady.

　　LADY MARY

　　I'm so sorry. Actually, Bates, I'm glad I've caught you. Sir Richard Carlisle telephoned me earlier. He says he's paid Mrs Bates for her story. She cannot speak of it now without risking prison.

　　MR BATES

　　She won't do that.

　　LADY MARY

　　So, I hope we can all forget it.

　　MR BATES

　　It's forgotten already, milady.

　　LADY MARY

　　Thank you.

　　[Mr Bates turns to go.]

　　LADY MARY

　　I'm afraid she was very angry when she knew she had been silenced.

　　MR BATES

　　I can imagine. He says she made threats against you. "If I go down, I'll take him with me," that sort of thing.

　　LADY MARY

　　I'm sure she didn't mean it.

　　MR BATES

　　Are you, milady?

　　LADY MARY

　　Well, you'd know better than I.

　　[They go their separate ways. Anna meets Bates in the hall with a tray.]

　　ANNA

　　Lady Mary's back.

　　MR BATES

　　I've just seen her. She says it's worked. Sir Richard has put a gag on Vera.

　　ANNA

　　Thank God. So everything in our garden is rosy again?

　　MR BATES

　　I hope so. I certainly hope so.

　　[They smile at each other and Anna continues down the hall with the tray.]

　　[INT. GUEST BEDROOM - DAY]

　　[Mrs Patmore enters. Daisy is sitting on the bed and Mr Mason on the chair next to it. Mrs Patmore takes Daisy's hands.]

　　MRS PATMORE

　　You must be so tired, my love. Why not let me take over for a while and go and lie down.

　　DAISY MASON

　　No thank you, Mrs Patmore. I'll stay with him. I won't leave him now, not while he needs me.

　　MR MASON

　　He doesn't need you no more, Daisy.

　　[William has just stopped breathing.]

　　MR MASON

　　He doesn't need none of us no more.

　　[Mr Mason takes Daisy's hand.]
