What a melody.

My god, what a melody.

Betty, what?

Can I borrow some lippy?

Again?

You're terrible.

Bring it back.

No, they gave me one about last time.

Excuse me, could I?

Ah, hello, Barrow.

You've got our note.

I hope we're not being a douche.

It's not at all, my lord.

Mr. Dexter.

Hello.

How about a glass of champagne?

You mustn't let us hold you up.

It's so thrilling to be backstage.

Bittersweet seems to be a big hit.

We're living in the age of Noel Coward.

Exactly.

Although I don't suppose Noel would put it quite like that.

How would I put it?

We were just saying how your star shines more brightly with every new show.

Do you know Lord and Lady Grantham, Lord and Lady Hexam?

This show is marvellous.

Yes.

Although we're not qualified to judge, of course.

Everyone is qualified to say something nice, Lady Grantham.

Mr. Dexter's dressing used to work for us, so we thought we'd look in.

Guy made that picture at your house, didn't he?

I so enjoyed it.

I hope you'll return one day to the scene of your triumph.

Oh, we'd like that very much, my lady.

And we better round.

We're dining at the new ivy on West Street.

My favourite haunt, if it weren't for the prices.

The last time I dined there, I asked for a bill and a pistol.

How much was it?

Ten pounds.

For three of us.

Ten pounds for three people?

Well, I suppose we don't have to do that.

Yes, we do.

We must get a wiggle on if we don't want to lose our table.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

They're very hearty with each other, aren't they?

Dexter and Barrow.

They must travel a lot together.

That's right.

Of course.

How long did he work for them?

Quite a few years.

And were you happy?

Not as happy as I am now.

What a lovely meet-up.

The London season's always good fun.

And back we go to Downton.

Oh, is that up?

There you are.

How was it?

It was a lovely night.

So we walked back along Pick and Dilly then down through the Green Park.

Oh, we saw what they felt to replace Devonshire House.

You mustn't do too much, not in your condition.

I feel fine, honestly.

It's good to be out in the air.

Looks as if the new grove in a house hotel is open at last.

I'm impressed.

It's sad to think of London being stripped of its private palaces.

It had to happen, Charlie.

What were these new taxes?

No-one can afford them any more.

Look at that view this time of night.

Well, tell us more about Mr Dexter, sure.

There's one song which keeps going round in my head.

I'll see you again.

Thank you, Mr Dexter.

Don't let her put you off.

Oh, who was that?

Something fool asking him infinite questions about his family.

I shall adore of him.

It is odd to think tomorrow's your last day.

What will we do when you're no longer here to protect us?

Andrew, I should say, Mr Parker will look after you instead.

How do you feel about your imminent promotion, Andy?

I feel ready.

I've served my years before the most.

I only hope you're right.

John.

The Satipo Lady Pavia.

Oh, there's going to be some interest.

After our little exchange, she won't trouble us again.

Lord knows what I'm born tonight if it wasn't ready.

You will be a sensation.

Did I hear that one of the Petersfield's daughters is engaged?

Grandelon.

You've just announced it.

Someone nice.

Lord Belsie.

Very suitable.

London Fives has been handed down to us.

London Fives is a flower that's greased.

Oh, liza, the seeds becomes the barrels, the

veggies become so narrow that the fruits pile fire.

Oh, liza, little London Sarrow, the carbon

garden's not yet where the sun's turned fire.

Cosmere feet mark the beat of history, every street in the memory barn.

Nothing ever can find a way to replace.

That's the place of my mama's power.

You are good to stay in London, front of Harold.

Do you think he's finally made sense of Grand Mama's estate?

It seems unfair that both Papa and Mama should

lose their mothers in such quick succession.

At least Papa was there for Granny.

He's been much harder for Mama to be the grieving

and dutiful daughter from across the ocean.

All the more reason to hope Pound has settled things.

We've already spent half the money.

That dressing could help.

Hello, Mary, Edith.

Mrs Fenwick, how are you?

Very well.

I saw your parents at the new Lady Roseberry's party, as full of energy as ever.

Yes, they're holding up.

Hello, Henry and Bertie.

We're all pretty good, I think.

So Henry's home from his travels?

Uh, yes.

Yes, he is.

I'm afraid we have to run, but we'll give him all your love.

Thanks for that.

Happy to help.

Don't worry.

I don't mind admitting it.

After tonight, I'll be ready to go back to Downton.

The London season's endless.

I'm worn out.

You enjoy the season, you know it.

I used to, but now the girls are out.

I'm not sure I see the point anymore.

This has just been so nice of me to be able to stay on for my cousin's bash tonight.

An invitation to Peter's Peterhouse feels like quite a hot ticket.

I'm glad they've held onto their HQ.

Not for much longer.

Oh, you know, the Petersfield Ball has been an institution all my life.

You can't blame them for not wanting to run a fully starved house the size of

Selfridges in order to give one party a year.

I suppose not.

It's been a while since we've seen Mr. Levinson.

He's been busy settling my late grandmother's affairs.

He and Mamar are both executors, but with the estate being in America,

it's really fallen to him.

I'm sure he and her ladyship can manage things between them.

You must tell me when it's too much for you.

I can always share a Baxter with Mamar until the baby's born.

It's time yet.

And anyway, I've done it before.

Right.

I think that's everything, my lady.

Last day with Carson in charge.

And Mrs. Patmore leaves in a few weeks.

But I think Parker will do well enough, even if it will feel strange without Carson.

Things change, my lord, and somehow we must change with them.

Very true.

Did you see they're pulling down Dorchester House?

We used to go there a lot when the Reeds had it.

But plenty of families are throwing in the towel.

My whole Grantham house is in no danger.

How long has it been in the family?

We bought it in about 1760, and my grandfather rebuilt it in 1854.

Quite a time.

You're right.

Quite a time.

And that means something to me.

Would you, Titus?

Diving?

How nice you look.

But I wish you were coming home with us tomorrow.

Someone needs to be here to welcome Uncle Harold when his ship gets in.

I'll give him dinner and bring him north for the weekend.

The weekend?

I'm glad Mama isn't alive to hear you say that word.

The car's outside, my lord.

Why do they all want a picture of Mary?

Because she's so pretty of course.

I think Mr Carson's last night in service.

I couldn't let that parcel notice.

Well, you will be far behind then.

Which I'm sure your husband is very glad about.

Mr Mason has been very patient.

You've seen the crawlies through some testing times, Mr Carson.

They've been good to me too.

Not everyone would have taken in a former song and dance man, not back then.

He doesn't even talk about that.

And he's not going to know.

At the end of a career you look back more than you did.

And think about all the changes you've witnessed.

Shall we raise a glass to Mr Carson?

Yes.

I'm not going far.

But we will miss seeing you each day.

I would like to thank you, Mr Carson.

You've taught me so much and I hope one day I'll be a worthy successor.

Mr Carson.

Mr Carson.

Be quiet.

Excuse me.

Of course.

The mum.

What's going on?

Are you all right?

I'm so sorry, but a rather tricky situation has arisen.

Why?

What's happened?

My rangers told me.

You may just told you what?

That Lady Mary is...

deforced.

She said it was illegal.

This is nonsense.

It's not nonsense.

I got the decree in eyesight today.

Well, that explains the photographers.

You mean it's true.

I'm sorry to say that it is.

Well, then I'm afraid you can't stay.

Prince and Princess Arthur of Cornwall to run their way.

And the princess simply can't be in the same room as a divorced woman.

I do apologise, but Lady Mary must go now.

Sarah, is this real?

No, I really must insist.

You're chucking my daughter out of your house.

At most reluctantly, I sure will you.

But her own highnesses would be badly compromised if anyone found out.

I've never heard anything so ridiculous about her.

Oh, it's all right.

I'll go.

I'm very sorry, Lady Peter's field.

I shouldn't have come.

Wait.

There's going to be hard for her.

Very hard, I'm afraid.

The young crowd may be all right, but you have to remember, my mother

wouldn't have a divorced woman in her house.

I do thank you for your kind understanding.

I've also put him to bring your coat.

Ah, there he is.

Ah, thank you.

I am sorry.

Well, so you keep saying.

Oh, it's quickly.

Hide, hide.

Your royal highnesses.

What a splendid evening you've laid on for us, Lady Peter's field.

Your presence is what lends its splendor, ma'am.

Let me take you out to the ballroom.

What an absurd woman.

There's no need to sound so indignant.

You knew Henry and I were getting a divorce.

But not that it had come true.

Well, it has.

You never got to tell her.

Swell on her, it's not.

Because I'm a fool.

And I suppose I thought I could have one last night before the sky fell in.

Of course, it's all ludicrous.

Ludicrous or not, it's time for me to leave.

More little fuss is possible.

Well, today we're coming with you.

Don't try and talk me out of it.

Ah, you know perfectly well you can't leave before Prince and Princess.

Go back up and come home when they've left.

I mean it.

What will you do?

I'll take a taxi.

If I can find one that will carry a divorced woman.

It was stupid.

I don't blame anyone but me.

Essie's logic was furious.

Yes, but it wasn't fair.

Lady Peterseal did what she had to.

I'm divorced and not wanted in respectable company.

Don't say such a thing.

Why not if it's true?

What do the servants know?

They knew it was coming and tonight they know it's happened.

It was in the evening news.

So I gather.

Was it bad?

No.

No, not too bad.

Just how Mr Tolbert's gone and you run down to him with his lordship.

Which is all true, I suppose.

But now the other people will pick it up.

I'm sorry if the newspapers made you unhappy, My Lady.

Divorce has made me unhappy.

Mama, if you've left the party... The royals left before us.

They went early, thank God.

But I've decided I won't visit anywhere.

You're not welcome.

Will that be all, My Lady?

No, you can hear this.

And sit down.

Mama, I forbid it.

The power would be in a hopeless situation.

You'd make the whole thing much worse than it is.

But what can I do then?

If you want to please me, you'll behave completely normally.

How?

I don't know.

Some friends will be happy to break the rules.

But the rest, you'll go without me.

I couldn't.

We'll just have to get used to it.

Good night, my darling.

Try and sleep.

Well, now we know what I'm up against.

I admire you, Lady Mary.

You're very brave.

Good morning.

Is it?

I haven't slept a wink.

We knew it was coming, Charlie.

We've known as much for months.

It'll change our lives, though.

Now it's out in the oven.

How's Lady Mary taking it?

She's not happy.

I can say that.

Well, I'm just glad the old lady didn't live to see it.

He forced her into it.

Mr. Toppert, with his airs and greases and his fast cars, I don't think.

He pushed her and tricked her and brought a scandal on this once great family.

We don't know everything.

I know enough to recognise a bully and a feckless playboy when I see one.

I don't know, Mama.

The more he drove, the more he toured the world, the less he cared about me.

What else can I say?

It still annoys me that Henry's girlfriend wasn't

named in the court and he hired that tartanster.

You know the rules.

The husband names a paid trollop, not his real mistress.

It's all very proper in its prim dishonesty.

I still blame Mrs. Barron.

She wasn't the problem.

Henry had made up his mind and that's all there is to it.

That is what's happened.

Now he must just get on with it.

Thus speak the English name?

I am English and I thank God for it.

We know.

Think heaven will simply help.

Oh, sweetheart.

Don't you miss me?

Of course.

Where's Mrs. Patmarvie left her behind?

She stayed in London with Lady Mary.

They'll be back on Friday, but you'll have to cook until then.

I don't mind.

It's not one time takeover.

So this is the start of our time.

Hello, Andy.

Can we go and see Mr. Mason's pigs?

Good idea, Master George.

Good idea.

Is the what?

Man overboard.

It startled everyone.

I'm so sorry.

It must have been terribly upsetting for me.

How much does George know?

I'm not sure, but I think we should leave it to Beth to tell them.

I keep thinking about Mary.

Will she be treated that way up here?

Not if I can help it.

She won't find it easy being an outcast.

She was always the belle of the ball.

What's happened since we've been away?

Mainly, Isabelle organizing the county show.

You don't mind being made her, President?

Are you joking?

She's my saviour.

Mamar enjoyed it.

She always complained, of course.

The hardest task is hauling Sir Hector Moreland over to her side.

Good luck with that.

Mamar couldn't stand him.

Easy.

Easy.

Hello, Mr Wellesley.

What have you got there?

Natures can't be pictured or has an article on my new film.

I bought some copies for the house.

How exciting.

It's quite a responsibility, too.

What is?

Being famous in the film world.

Always remember, an actor is nothing without a good script.

If audiences like them, it's only because of all we tell them to say.

You don't think that when you're sitting in the stars?

No.

Cheerio.

In many ways, the writers are the real stars of cinema.

What do you mean a tribute?

Will the late Lady Grantham approve by disrupting

the established traditions of the county shows?

Perhaps we can establish a new tradition in her honour.

I need to be convinced.

Here are the entrants in the farming categories they confirmed.

Thank you.

That'll be their help.

And this is my list of prize-givers.

Including the present Lady Grantham?

She can say something nice about her mother-in-law that will give you what she want.

Even if I didn't find old Lady Grantham very easy, she could be so sentimental.

Why that sentimental?

She wanted children's prizes for everything.

And since she was president and I was any chairman, there wasn't much I could do.

Thankfully, I could have stopped all that the year before last.

Well, I hope it won't annoy you, but I do have some ideas of my own.

Really?

If you take my advice...

I shall be so grateful for your advice, Sir Hector.

When I ask for it.

Uncle Harold.

Do my eyes deceive me, or is this vision the great Lady Mary Tumpeth?

I'm so pleased to see you.

We are eager for your news.

Well, please introduce us, Harold.

Oh, may I present Gus Sandbrooke?

Oh, have you come to see my uncle, Mr. Sandbrooke?

I've come with your uncle.

Didn't you warn him, Harold?

Well, I meant to.

I must have forgotten.

Is the house not big enough?

Oh, you mean you want to stay here?

Is that a terrible nuisance?

No.

Thank you.

I went to make some old fashions.

There's one for you.

You should have run the bell.

I did, but no one knew how to make them.

Mr. Sandbrooke will be staying with us.

Mr. Levinson said, my lady.

I've put him in the bird room.

Very good.

Gus wasn't sure he could come until just before the boat sailed.

And why did you come?

Oh, he knows all about business.

He can help me explain things to Cora.

Well, it's a long way to travel for that.

I've also got a horse running in the gold cup and asking.

Oh, this is very strong.

No, I should run.

I'm having dinner with the Savoy and I'm late.

I suppose the night watchman will let me in?

The night watchman is a thing of the past, but I've got a key for you.

I'll see you later.

Here you are.

So let me guess.

Robert is furious and Cora is sympathetic.

Papa's miserable as much as angry.

Now, Cora's a yank.

She knows society can learn to live with divorce.

It'll be true here before too long.

But it's not true yet.

Still, Downton keeps me busy.

What are you up to there?

Mainly renovating the cottages and doing up the old smoking room.

I thought a music room would be a wonderful memorial for both my grandmothers.

It's a nice idea.

Even if my mother was more Gershwin than Rachmaninoff.

It's a lot to get done.

That's where you come in.

I really gotta go.

Enjoy your dinner.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Can I do anything to help?

Everything's under control.

And I've enjoyed myself.

It's been a while since I cooked for the family.

And that was when Mrs. Patmore in charge.

You'd better get used to it.

I think they'll be pleased.

I'm sure we will.

Lady Marilyn, what can we do for you?

It's daisy I've come to see.

Me?

Yes.

It's a straightforward request, but it will require some of your time.

As you may know, every president of the county show is supported by a committee.

And I want you to be a member.

But why me?

The show has always been run by a rather narrow group of people.

I want to bring it more up to date.

And I would value some fresh eyes to help me.

A wise choice, if I may say so, my lady.

Please, do think about it.

She will.

You've paid her great conflict.

Not in a month of Sunday.

Why would any of them listen to me?

For your experience here and on the farm.

But suppose Lady Merton disagrees with me.

It's a good sign you already know you'll be arguing.

Why didn't you join Harold?

So I could have dinner with you.

Do you have many horses?

A few, but I've never had one in the Gold Cup before.

We should get up a party.

Although I suppose it's finished for me.

If you can come, it would reward me for my efforts on Harold's behalf.

Can I ask about those efforts?

Are you a sort of business advisor?

I kept him out of some trouble a while back.

But really, we're friends.

Can I top you up?

No, I shouldn't.

I've had more than enough.

Go on then.

Hello.

I didn't expect you back in front of us.

My lady sent me home early so we could have dinner together.

How was London?

Busy, for them anyway.

I've been busy too, working on the script of Hell to Ransom.

Are you pleased with it?

It's taken a bit longer than the last one.

I've worked too hard, Esau.

No, I can't.

This is my moment.

After years of being in the background, I'm changing lives.

You were changing lives when you were a teacher, weren't you?

Yeah, you're right, but it's different.

Well, it's... I've got to crack on.

Some of us went to see Mr Dexter's new play.

Mr Coward's new play, I think you mean.

Howard would have loved to have seen that.

Do you think Mr Dexter relaunched his career at Downton?

I wonder if he'll be back.

This place will be a desert for him.

Without anyone to talk to.

Well, he's got Mr Barrow.

And Mr Barrow's a servant.

I'm a servant.

Well, I've told you.

You can give it up.

And I've told you I don't want to.

Anyway, Mr Barrow's not a servant anymore.

Yeah, well, the fact remains, Mr Dexter and I...

we understand each other in the way that none of the rest of them can.

Sounds like Isabelle may regret taking on the county show.

She's got her work cut out with that stuck-out fool more than...

She was shocked when I told her about Lady Petersfield.

Don't think she'd quite taken in what a divorce was gonna mean.

Well, that's her reaction.

Imagine what everyone else will think.

Henry's decision has made Mary an outcast.

Somehow, we will have to live with that.

Isabelle included.

Thank you.

I won't be surprised if people start avoiding down to the incase Mary's yet.

Then we must challenge them and change their minds, mustn't we?

As a guess, can I offer you a drink?

I really think we should stop.

Oh, nonsense.

You said yourself you've lost your position.

Let's celebrate.

Is there any of that wine we had at dinner?

My Lady?

Just bring some champagne.

Carson would have left a bottle in the icebox.

I thought you might like... Liz?

You're right.

I have lost my position.

Have you ever been thrown out of the house?

It's quite the experience.

I hear the Prince of Wales has taken with my

compatriot Lady Furness, and she's divorced.

The Prince's interests will not enhance her standing in society.

There's nothing wrong with finding someone attractive.

You can't blame them for that.

Or me either.

Meaning what exactly?

Meaning this.

Just put it there.

We'll look after ourselves.

You can go to bed.

If you're sure, Lady?

I'm quite sure.

Daisy Parker.

She works in the kitchens at the Abbey.

Sir Hector's will go to like that.

Next, I'll ask Carson.

He's well thought of in the area, so he'll be very helpful.

So you really mean to bait Sir Hector?

I mean to bait him very much indeed.

My God.

Good morning.

Don't say good morning as if everything's fine.

Is it?

No.

This is not who I am.

It's absolutely not how I behave.

I suppose we're both quite a drop.

I had a marvelous time.

Well, I didn't.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that exactly.

But I do not jump into bed with strangers at the drop

of a house, and I don't approve of people who do.

Have you never done anything you don't approve of?

That's not the point.

Well, you just got your divorce and some old hag, and so did you, surely.

You're entitled to drink to your webs and have some fun with me.

No one would blame me.

I would blame me.

And so would everyone else.

I'll get my children before my maid arrives.

I was hoping for a second round.

I won't do what you've done.

Just go.

Please.

All right.

But I'll go with a song in my heart.

I hope you slept well, my lady.

Could you find me some aspirin, rather a headache?

I thought you might have, my lady.

You'll find two on your tray.

What's your plan for the day?

I've got my first meeting with Lady Merton's committee this afternoon.

Oh, yes.

It's flattering of her to ask you.

Quite the compliment.

If I can be helpful in some way, then I'll be pleased.

I'm sure you'll be very helpful.

I'll come to the house for lunch.

Oh, Charlie, there's no need.

You'll only tire yourself.

If you mean that I look worn out, you're right.

London finished me off.

Then rest.

Enjoy your freedom.

And heavens for his cottage.

Did you worry Lady Mary might turn us out?

She'd never do that.

I just hope Mr Talbot doesn't want to make trouble.

He might.

No-one knows how to behave any more.

That's harsh.

If it wasn't for him, Lady Mary would never have gone for a divorce.

Plenty of the gentry lived with husbands and wives who were difficult or boring or

just plain nasty.

And what do you think they did?

They put it in their kit bag and they kept on marching.

How are you getting on?

Pretty well, I think, nearly there.

You are good.

At least the things Mama loved are safe now.

It made me nervous knowing the Dower House was full

of her possessions when no-one was living here.

What will you do?

Find a tenant?

I suppose.

Any suggestions?

Maybe.

Let me think about it.

Let's go home before we meet Mary and Harold, and the mysterious Mr Sam Broke.

How could Harold have landed us with him?

And why is he here?

It's not very English behaviour.

Well, we're not English, my brother and I, which I know takes some getting used to.

Goodbye, Mama.

Still so glamorous, I say.

If you say so, my brother.

Hello, Mary.

Mama.

And you must be Mr Sam Broke.

Welcome to Downton.

But I hope you won't be bored.

Harold and I have a lot to talk about.

You can talk in front of guys.

Come in and have some tea.

We thought the funeral was splendid.

Mother would have been very touched.

Pity, you couldn't stay on in New York for a bit longer.

We would have if I'd known the time it would take to sell things.

Robert, how are you getting on with Mary's plan to plumb the cottages?

Not Mary's plan, our plan.

If it was sensible, remains to be seen.

Seems sensible to me.

Does it?

I must get you to go through our accounts while you're here.

Perhaps you can tell me how we're going to pay for it.

But, Paul, it's the matter with you.

The Mars and Harrison's will cuff up any work.

I just don't see why everything... Never mind.

I'm going for a walk.

Where's Theo?

Often in post-relation.

Thank you.

Why don't you all go?

Oh, good idea.

Not you, Harold.

People like to talk about you and I.

I'll go.

He's so touchy lately.

I suppose we've got the divorce to thank for that.

The divorce and the realisation that his days

as king of the castle are coming to an end.

Oh, then why is something the matter?

I thought a dinner might help restore Mary's faith in humanity,

so I wrote to some neighbours and everyone has refused.

All of them?

Golly, even Anne Manville has said no.

She's always been so fond of you girls.

We can't just give in.

Are you coming?

Or what?

We're coming.

Sorry you've arrived when tensions are a little high.

I've got something for you.

My goodness.

I had this made for her when she lost the brooch.

She'd worn it at her wedding.

She wanted you to have it.

Maybe we should go for a walk as well, because the news is bad, isn't it?

How could you tell?

I know you since you were born.

A ghost should come with us.

He can help me explain everything.

Well, I'd be happy to.

Is she coming?

She'll be here any moment.

You look nice.

You've met Mr Carson.

Not really.

Of course, I've seen him when we've dined at the Abbey.

Now, I still want to get going.

Sorry I'm late.

I had to finish luncheon.

Come in.

This is Mrs Parker, Lady Manville, Mr Saunders, Miss Bell, Mrs Doolish,

and our chairman, Sir Hector Morland.

Welcome.

Hello, Mr Carson.

Daisy.

What is it?

Mrs Parker.

Lady Merton believes our new members will give us a different perspective.

We don't want to disrupt anything.

Thought we might have something to say.

Oh, I hope you do.

We shall see.

So now, finally, we can start.

What I don't understand is, since we survived the crash, where's the money gone?

Gus cooked everything out of the market before the crash.

If it wasn't for him, our mother's money would have been lost.

You mean it would have been lost sooner?

Gus, please explain.

Well, Harold has been unlucky.

It's true.

But he wasn't alone in his suffering.

I lost quite a bit myself as it happens.

And now you like to sell the property that's

left, and for that you need my permission?

We'll help him to recoup and rebuild.

Harold, you lost the capital I left in your care.

How do I know you won't lose the rest of the money?

I want a chance to make the money back.

I have to live, and I have to repay Gus.

He's been bankrolling me until now, but he can't go on.

No.

We'll work out a plan to repay Mr. Sandbrook, but that doesn't involve

putting what's left at risk.

So, item six.

On the day itself, we've settled that last year's

arrangements will, for the most part, stand.

Yes, absolutely.

Is that a good idea?

Mr. Carson?

What?

Well, to be honest, last year was chaotic.

The livestock were hardly supervised.

I don't think anyone else would agree with you there.

Mr. Carson, remember what you said.

Is it?

What does she mean?

Go, please.

I have no wish to be rude to Sir Hector or Lady Merton.

Oh, please enlighten us.

What did you say?

Only that...

She's right.

Things were pretty hopeless.

They were running around all over the place, but I'm sure

that Sir Hector would soon have got things under control.

Are you?

You see what you've done?

You bring in people like this.

People like what?

Surely we can let them speak.

So the livestock were badly managed.

And there was no provisions for lost children, either.

No one to help find them, no safe place for them to go.

We can't be held responsible for every child in the county.

But aren't we responsible?

For every child that is a guest at our shuttle?

Restain yourself, I beg you.

I'm sure Sir Hector will be glad to know where he got things wrong.

I beg your pardon.

Shall we stick to the agenda?

Well, I can't see that it would hurt to consider these points.

Please.

I only must insist.

So, item seven.

Lectures and demonstrations on beekeeping and

bottling fruit at intervals during the day.

Oh, is it, Anna, that you're taught to not go well?

A great deal of my mother's fortune has been lost.

What?

And now we need a new plan to protect what remains.

What happened?

What part did you play in all this?

None of it is Gus's fault.

Without him, things could be a lot worse.

I made the decision.

Why didn't you share them with me?

And why didn't you tell me we're not so all going wrong?

You put me in charge, God's sake, Harold.

Don't you see what this means for Downton?

Is it really as bad as you say?

Has everything gone?

There's some property, including the house in Newport.

Which Harold hopes to sell.

But what does that mean for the work going on here?

I'm afraid we spent money we don't have on a project we haven't finished.

But I won't allow a fire sale when what's left would not be enough to sell things at

Downton and cover what we owe Mr. Sandbrooke.

My God.

Is this the time to think of selling Grantham House?

What?

Where did that come from?

We must be realistic, Papa.

Keeping a London house is a huge drain on our resources.

It would give us the capital we need.

Sell Grantham House?

What absolute bloody nonsense!

I'm going to change.

By the other side of cuddly Lord Grantham, I don't think I've ever seen it before.

Well, you're the one who made him angry.

We seem to be living under rather a dark shadow at the moment.

If not Grantham House, what other options do we have?

It's a good thing that dinner didn't work out.

What dinner?

Only there ain't loads of nuggles for dinner and they couldn't come.

Because of me?

Golly.

The house full of yanks and I'm the one keeping people away.

Just when I thought I couldn't sink any lower, darn I go again.

Maybe you should be grateful for the yanks.

We're going to check.

Come with that.

I'm so sorry.

Maybe now would be a good time for me to show Gus the dollar Francesca.

Don't present it as a way to raise capital.

Papa's not being fair.

You must know that at least.

Don't you think he's entitled to be a little unfair?

With Granny's death, your divorce and Harold's foolishness?

Harold's made a real mess of things, hasn't he?

It's my fault, really.

It's like putting a drunk in charge of a bar.

You go ahead and we get to have a good call.

Well,

it's not over yet.

I'm not by a lotion.

I couldn't help wondering how it's happened.

We were supposed to double my mother's fortune.

Now most of it's gone.

But it's coming back with interest, I promise.

It's a new market.

I understand it better.

But I have to have a free hand.

They're changing for dinner.

They'll assemble in the library at 8 o 'clock.

Thank you very much.

So you didn't see him leaving my room?

I'd never have mentioned it, lady.

You've never forgotten it either.

Thank you, Anna.

I hope Papa didn't upset you.

Not as much as you did with the dinner that never was.

You shouldn't have said anything.

By the way, Tom Wren, he's coming to stay.

I know.

He's meeting Henry in York.

I finally sold the car business.

Let's hope he can soothe your father's spirits.

I'm not trying to push Papa into anything, you know.

What?

Oh, I think you are.

I suspect you're trying to push him into quite a lot.

But I believe you have good reasons.

We should go.

I'll wait for your father.

I'll be the first.

Looks like it.

I know you like Chevy.

Don't remind me.

You should try America, you know.

We don't care about divorce over there.

I think Downton needs me.

What will Harold do now, do you think?

Your mum won't change her mind.

I wonder.

Don't wonder.

She won't.

I love my uncle, but he's hardly proved to be a titan of business.

But unlike your uncle, I know how to get the money back.

Won't you help me?

Sit me, darling.

You've come too.

I'm lovely.

I want you dead.

Go and say hello to the others.

Welcome back to Dallas, sir.

Thank you, Barker.

Leave it.

Tom, don't go in yet.

I want to bring you up to date.

How's Mary getting on?

Divorce is damaged so badly, as we knew it would.

I wanted to help her rebuild while she ran down to take her mind off things.

What?

Socially, it's more difficult than we expected.

And with the estate, the bar's reluctant to give her the power she needs.

We'd love you to talk into letting Mary take the reins properly.

Of course.

Those Harold being here mean at least Mrs. Levinson's estate has finally settled.

I'm afraid not.

He's made a complete wish of things.

How's Lucy?

Well, I hope.

We're all well.

And it was a relief to sell the business.

Money's coming in for a change.

So you made the full journey from revolutionary to capitalist.

I'd prefer to call it being sensible.

Tom's here.

He's gone to his room.

You should know, I telephone Guy Dexter.

His play's over and he's coming to stay.

And he's bringing Noel Coward.

How exciting!

He'll cheer Mary up.

And, of course, they couldn't care less that she's divorced.

I also thought it might tempt the county back into the house.

Clever girl.

If we can find a way to let them know.

Have you told the kitchen?

I'm going down now.

Eden.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mr Carson, can I help?

Yeah, I've been thinking about these lambery candlesticks.

His lordship likes to see them on the table.

We often use them.

And you clean them with soap and water, not

those awful creams they keep coming up with now.

Everything is done as you would have it, Mr Carson.

Then I shall sleep more easily.

Well, that sounds like Lady Hexon.

And don't forget, it's a secret from Lady Mary.

Of course, my lady.

Well, Lady Hexon...

She just came down to tell us there's to be

a dinner the night before the county shore.

Mr Dexter, Mr Barrow and Mr Norr Coward are coming down from London.

And don't you list Mr Barrow between Mr Dexter and Mr Coward?

Will he attend the dinner, too?

I shouldn't think so, Charlie.

But please don't be unkind about him.

I hope Mr Mosey doesn't get too excited that Mr Coward is coming.

Let's not mention it.

Your last dinner?

Yes.

But should we make it the first dinner where Daisy's in charge?

Well, I'll be here, of course, but I'd like to see her in action before I go.

Are you looking forward to leaving?

I don't know the answer.

I'll have destination, so I won't be lonely.

None of you can stay away.

Oh, Mr Mosey.

How nice to see you.

I thought I'd look in to say a lot.

We wait about your latest film.

We're all so proud of you.

Oh, well... We're just talking about plans for Daisy's first big dinner.

Mr Dexter and Mr Barrow are coming.

And Mr Coward, too.

Noel, Coward, A Downton... You just sleeped out.

Come on, of course.

They won't invite us.

You can't expect a ladyship to ask for a ladysmated dinner.

This isn't Russia, Mr Mosely, and we're not Bolsheviks.

Well, I've had an idea.

You haven't got a footman now.

So why can't I be a footman for the night?

You're not a servant now, Joseph.

You've left all that behind.

No, no, but I see.

I'll come in with the first dish.

And when I get to Mr Dexter, he'll recognize me and introduce me to Mr Coward.

Even if he doesn't, I could use some extra help in the dining room.

No, he will, he will.

And it'll be fun.

See, this is what writers do.

We make things up to entertain people.

They'll be telling this story for years to come.

You've a horse running at Aska.

Which day?

We'll be there on the Thursday.

My horse is in the going cup, so you'll be able to cheer it on.

No, not me.

I'm no racing man, I'm afraid.

That's a bell not jeered me for good.

If only it had.

All right.

If we're talking about it, I'd like you all to hear Gus on how to deal with the losses.

You mean, your losses.

Discussing money over dinner.

Fanny would not have approved.

Pay no attention.

Go on, Gus.

Well, I'm sure you know, the crash changed everything.

Fortunes were lost, the men killed themselves.

It was a terrible time, and we're still living with that.

But Cora's money was not lost in the crash.

Thanks to Gus, maybe.

But things changed, and we had to deal with that change.

You have a house in Newport, which is not as sought after as it was before the war.

So Harold should sell it before its value sinks further.

You could recover some of the losses and use part of it for the work going on here.

And repay you, I imagine.

But if we're speaking openly, Harold has not done

well since Lady Grantham asked him to manage things.

He was extremely unlucky.

If you want big gains, you have to be bold.

But the market is not safe, even now.

I'd stay and break some water.

I agree.

Lady Mary, what do you think?

I think Mumma knows what she's doing, and I'd back her instincts.

I'm sorry, Lady Ship.

Lady Mary's not come up yet.

Oh, no, it was you I wanted to see.

Did you know that her Lady Ship planned the dinner for Lady Mary before Mr Coward

was invited, but that all of our local friends refused?

Miss Baxter didn't mention it.

My plan, if Mr Coward and Mr Dexter agreed to come, is that they'd changed their mind.

But now that I've managed it, I'm not sure how to tell them.

Can you leave this with me, my Lady?

Thank you, Anna.

Are you interested in art?

I'm interested in a lot of things.

Good night.

I was a little sad that she didn't stick up for me at dinner.

I'm sure you don't need my help.

Maybe not, but I thought we were friends.

What would happen if I told them we were lovers on the day that we met?

That would put a cat among the pigeons.

Are you threatening me?

Just the English are so easily shocked, they thought

of their expressions of which blurted it out.

It's tempting.

And it's a temptation you must resist, Mr Sandbrook.

I wish I understood Sandbrook's part in all this.

I suppose he's making sure he gets his cash back.

But Tom's going to look into it.

I didn't like him fishing for Mary's support.

How's she doing?

Well, you know Mary.

She likes to look in control, whether she is or not.

Don't tell her, but we're giving her rather

a special party to take her mind off things.

Will anyone come?

Oh, they'll come.

Mary may have lost her footing lately, but I haven't.

There she is.

Hello, Miss Grant.

How are you?

Oh, you are Mrs Bates.

You're a man of Miss Grant, Lady Osborne's maid.

Of course.

I'm sorry she isn't able to come to a ladyship's dinner.

They were sorry, too.

But I'm sure I don't have to explain.

But it is a pity.

They'll miss meeting Noel Coward.

Noel Coward's going to Downton.

And the film star, Guy Dexter.

So, it'll be fun for us anyway.

It certainly will be.

I should get a move on.

Goodbye.

Bye.

I'd say Lady Osborne will have telethoned by the time we get home.

I don't know.

He looks more like a funter than a county show.

Well done, Mrs Parker.

I hope you'll be here early on the day.

I'll do my best.

I've got a big dinner the night before.

Oh, that's still happening, is it?

Certainly is.

We've got Noel Coward in all sorts, can we?

Noel Coward would be at the dinner.

Tell me the whole thing looks wrong.

I hate to contradict you, Sir Hector, but I'll be giving them a proper day out.

Good for you.

We've got food and rides for the children to enjoy.

These people work hard.

Don't they deserve it?

You see, Carson, we'll make a socialist of you yet.

You will not, my lady.

We're turning them into a circus.

It may come as a surprise, Sir Hector, but we want our visitors to have a good time.

Lady Manville was on the telephone, and Lady Osborne, in lance of the others,

said things had changed and they can come after them all.

Well, you know the reason.

Mr. Levinson telephoned the lady.

He said he and Mr. Sandbroke wouldn't be back in time for dinner.

Thank you, Parker.

We'd like to see if Peek's funny.

Hello, Charlie.

How was the meeting?

Fine, but I noticed in the dining room that dinner has been laid with the serf

for service, so I'd ask for the maison instead.

It's all right, Mabel.

Lead the serf as it is.

I have no wish to undercut you, Mr. Parker, but you may not understand.

The serf is a soft-paste porcelain, much more fragile than the hard-paste maison.

I understand perfectly, Mr. Carson.

A ladyship asked for the serf.

Thank you, Mabel.

I let him do his job.

So mean.

It's nice to have a night off from the watchful eyes of Mr. Sandbroke.

He's very competent, isn't he?

Rather a contrast to Harold.

Let's be nice.

We'll cheer him on at Ascot, then we'll go home.

We've got a crossword being spoken.

Robert, you were asking about the sale.

It seems to have gone through very smoothly.

Henry's not been at all difficult.

He asked about Downton, if you were farming more cattle.

That doesn't sound like Henry.

He's not usually interested in anything that doesn't run on petrol.

I told him I didn't know the answer.

There is no answer.

I have yet to decide what the answer will be.

I know what this is.

What's your whole thinking?

I bet you don't.

Have you put them up to this, Mary?

So you can have it your way.

Oh, really, Papa?

You told me I was captain of the ship now.

Or has the divorce somehow ruled me out?

Robert, you've worked hard for this family for many years.

It's time to put your feet up.

Leave the heavy lifting to Mary.

And what am I to do?

What is my job?

To walk around in my tweeds, smiling hello at the tenant so that when I'm dead,

everyone can say what a nice chap I was.

As long as they do.

Speak up, Bertie.

You're nodding away.

Thank you, Parker.

I got Brancaster when I was young enough to make changes.

I'd say the place and the people who live there are better off as a result.

When you took charges, there were emperors in Moscow, Vienna and Berlin.

And your parents were king and queen of this part of the county.

Well, that world is gone now.

It's a different place.

So everyone keeps saying.

And it's not different because we can get to

Cape Town in a few days instead of half a year.

We're changing too.

The way we talk, the way we dress, the way we deal with each other.

This is Mary's time.

She's in step with how to run this estate in the 30s, the 40s and the 50s.

And I'm not.

You know this system doesn't work if people hold on too long.

I'm pleasantly surprised you think the system works at all.

I have something to add.

The missing detail in this is that we all, every one of us, loves you.

Very much.

They're all coming, her ladyships told me.

Well, thank you, thank you.

And some are angling for invitations.

Wouldn't they well ask in the first place?

And well done to us.

Sad done.

They were happy to throw over Lady Mary, they'll have known her all her life.

Now they'll do anything to have dinner with a famous face.

That's the way the world is these days.

There's not a lot of pointing and objecting to it.

Mr Branson was really giving it to his lordship at dinner.

It's funny to think he used to clean their cars.

I'm sorry for his lordship.

He's always done his best.

Oh, Mr Mason, come in.

These are happy times and getting your wife back.

Oh, it is.

But she'll miss all of you.

It could be odd to cook for two instead of twenty-two.

And in silence rather than a running commentary.

Are we back soon?

So many changes.

And we do need a new footman, you know.

And he can't do everything.

I'm not sure Lady Mary would agree.

She's looking to economise whatever she can when she takes over.

It won't be easy for her.

And that can roast round her neck.

Well, then, we must all show that we support her.

Where we can.

Here we are.

Oh, thank you, Daisy.

This looks delicious.

To Mrs Patmore.

To Mrs Mason.

Mrs Mason.

Now, are you quite set to Mr Cowell's dinner when my time ends and yours begins?

Does that make you feel sad?

I'd be hit, but I don't fight it.

Our lives are lived in chapters, and nothing's

wrong when a chapter is done and a new one begins.

It's your time now, and I'm prouder of that than anything.

You're the daughter I never had.

How trash are those words?

I will.

My lady, telephone call, lady farmers.

I see they get a car you can make from here.

Edith, can I grab you for a moment?

If you'd like.

Am I in for another pummeling?

No more pummeling.

But I know how things are.

And I wonder if the money from the sale of the business might help tide you over.

Oh, Tom.

My dear chap, don't think of it.

I'm serious.

You and all of Sybil's family have given me everything.

Isn't that worth something?

It's worth a great deal, but not money.

Now, help yourself as important.

Pass it on before you burst into tears.

You went to bed with a stranger.

Well, of course it sounds terrible when you put it like that.

How should I put it?

He's not Turkish, is he?

I found him attractive.

I still do.

But I think he feels he has a hold over me.

He wants me to help him convince Mamar, which of course I won't.

Why are you telling me this?

I'm not sure.

The truth is, I'm in a fix.

And a great lady like you might have an opinion worth hearing.

Don't patronise me.

I wouldn't dare.

But what do you think?

Should I try to placate Sam Brook or just ignore him?

Can I ask Bertie about it?

Must you?

I think I must.

If he gives me funny looks for the rest of my life, I shall blame you.

Tom offered us the money from his sale.

Of course I said no, but I was touched.

And it's made me think.

What about?

Mary is right.

We have no option but to sell Grant the Mouse.

It's time to move on.

Does she know you've seen the light?

Not yet.

And what about her running down, Tom?

What about it?

I don't wear a sack over my head.

I see how you treat her.

Don't you want her in command?

No, I do.

I've said so.

But now the moment's come.

You can't bear to relinquish the crown.

I hope it won't overload you.

And you have the show the next day.

Lady Vernon, let me make a real difference.

If you're clear about your arguments, you can make things happen.

Even with this serene highness, Sir Hector Moreland.

I knew you would more than hold your own.

No wonder you say you won't always be in service.

Well, I won't, but I don't have that many ways at the time here.

This is a great honor, my lord.

I don't know about that, but the truth is I...

I need your advice.

Um... How?

About what?

Oh, deuces.

We were young men when you first came to Downton.

We were by my side when I inherited, and here we still are, however many years later.

I've enjoyed a good life in your service, my lord.

I hope so.

You've run the house well, of course.

Well, I believe you've made it a happy place, too.

That's important to me.

We were well suited to each other, my lord.

Which was our good fortune.

Have you come to discuss Lady Mary?

You're ahead of me, as usual.

And you'll know Lady Mary thinks it's time that I hand over.

A ladyship agrees, and so I suspect there's Lady Hexum.

More surprising me.

Maybe I do, too.

But do you?

Really?

You think I'm foolish to drag my feet?

I'd never say that, my lord, never.

But I do believe that you could enjoy a calmer time from now on.

Free from worry.

But I do worry.

I worry the divorce has changed things.

Can she play her role in the county as a social pariah?

Or should I stay on for a few years until things settle down?

Lady Mary will be a kind and reliable landlord, so

her place in the county will soon be secure again.

You think she could manage?

I know she could manage very well, my lord, and so do you.

I'd like to grab that one on the end.

Pickering papers, sir.

Ooh.

Excuse me.

Really?

I think you did ask it would be good for herself.

Not for me.

The gates of the royal enclosure will be firmly shut.

But you must come.

Tell her about it.

I'm going to arrange lunch for us in White's

tent, so you won't have to go near the enclosure.

I'll keep your company.

The enclosure holds no delight for me.

What about you, Mrs. Everett?

Do you enjoy these odd English rituals?

I do.

Very much.

Edith will line up plenty of royal highlaces to add to the fun.

I am feeling rather jealous, but not jealous enough to raise two anyhow.

I'm going to stay here and peruse Mr. Charles Dickens.

I can't wait

to see if there's a steward's inquiry.

He's going at second last.

So we can go to the royal enclosure?

Don't make him wait any longer, Bertie.

He's panting for it.

I would like to see it.

And go, all of you.

We'll stay here.

You sure?

I am.

Tom Branson.

You're dancing as I nearly breathe.

I thought you were sitting in New York.

Well, so I was till about a month ago.

Tell me, that man you were with earlier, does he still call himself Gus Sambrook?

Well, do you know him?

I'm very sorry to say I do.

Can I give you a card in case you're ever in New York?

If we'd known you were coming, Nick would have given you all lunch on.

Don't worry, Your Royal Highness.

We were happy in White's tent with my father-in-law.

Is your Grantham here?

He's with Lady Hex and Sister.

I'm afraid Lady Mary is having a rather difficult time.

We shouldn't talk about that in front of Lady Peter's field.

I did what I had to do.

Lady Mary will be just fine.

Of course she will.

But those are the rules we know, aye?

Cora.

Tom, where have you been?

What's wrong?

I have some news for all of you.

It's about Sambrook.

He's a confidence trickster of the worst sort.

He looks like Harold has been his target and his latest victim.

Why hasn't he been prosecuted?

He was.

Some sharp lawyer's got him off on a technicality.

But he's a crook all the same.

He should have done ten years.

He kept Harold out of the crash to gain his trust.

Then stole the money.

And now he's trying to get more from us.

Oh, sure, of all this.

Quite sure.

Everyone's a witness at the trial.

I'm going to speak to Mr. Sambrook.

What formidable daughters we have.

Have you only just noticed?

Tom, let's get you a drink.

You earned it.

Were you surprised Sambrook's turned out to be a badan?

I can't decide.

I feel sorry for Uncle Harold.

Sambrook could probably have fooled any of us.

He's certainly nearly fooled me.

I know you're not going back to Downton tonight with Mama.

She said you want a second look at a house you've found for us all.

Not a house.

A flat.

I might stay and come with you.

Would you like that?

Very much.

But please be open-minded.

You can be when you try.

I will try.

Very hard.

You have a horse in the next race?

That's right.

There she is.

I do hope you enjoy today.

But please enlighten me.

I'm told you not only stole the money Harold entrusted to you,

but that you now plan to steal what's left from our estate.

And it's not the first time, is it?

I'm told you used the chaos after the crash to cheat your way into a fortium.

I'm sure you know how preposterous that is.

Furthermore, according to Sun, you were nearly

convicted of theft and fraud in New York.

I was not convicted.

I was found not guilty.

On a technicality.

Now Mary says you slept with her at London, and you're threatening to tell the world.

She doesn't care, of course.

Classic Mary, but I care.

I didn't threaten.

I was joking.

She must have misunderstood.

I know you think we're all much stupider than you.

I've never suggested that.

But I'm sure you realize Lord Hexo and I have a little social power.

Maybe in a perfect world we wouldn't, but we do.

What do you say?

Only that if I hear of any threat from you, to my mother, to my uncle,

to my sister, to anyone, in fact.

I promise Lord Hexo will make you untouchable.

You wouldn't do that.

What if he tries?

Then you have to find another place for your playground.

England will be dead to you.

So the new contacts you've been making all day will avail you to nothing.

Have I made myself clear?

Oh, dear.

It's not your lucky day, is it, Mr. Sandbrooke?

Your race is about to begin.

Maybe your horse will turn things around for you.

Which

one are you, Mr. Sandbrooke?

The guy in the spots.

Good luck next time.

I'm glad I found you.

I'm leaving.

And you're the only one I wanted to say goodbye to.

Do you know what sounds me?

You probably don't even remember the names of

the men and women whose lives you've ruined.

Well, I hope I haven't ruined yours.

Goodbye, Mr. Sandbrooke.

Goodbye, Mr. Sandbrooke.

I could say the Pickworth papers is too short.

No, sir.

Is there a murder mystery I could read?

I could have a Christie, something like that.

There might be something in the nursery.

They're catching the last train, so they don't want dinner.

Just sandwiches and a glass of wine.

So what's Mrs. Levinson going to do with all this?

I should think you'll make late work of it.

This one over here.

Please come here.

Thank you.

So this is how the world ends.

Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

What's that?

I don't know.

The family upstairs.

The family upstairs?

What about downstairs?

Is a family there too?

I don't know if it's a family.

How peculiar.

A sort of layer cake of strangers.

And what about when I want to go up to bed?

You don't go up.

You go along.

Extraordinary.

Isn't it odd to live in a building full of strangers?

You sleep in a house of strangers at every shooting party.

I know you think I've been holding you back.

You're right.

So is Tom.

I did encourage you to take control, but it's hard to accept that it's time to go.

Families like ours must keep moving to survive.

One day, George will say it's time for me to go.

I won't be spared either.

You're not very sentimental, are you?

The hereditary system can't afford to be sentimental.

But now it's time to think of things for you and Mamata and Joy.

More travel, more London.

No, more Downton.

Nonsense.

You'll be the Eminence Grease.

The power behind the throne.

No, I won't.

You'll be the power on the throne.

Thank you.

We'll let you know.

If you can sail Grantham House, we'll take it.

Very good, by the way.

If Lady Mary does take over, will she want her parents to move now?

You'll have to ask her.

You mean you're not going to tell her?

But isn't that right?

Should wives have secrets from her husband?

Definitely.

But not the other way round.

If they do go, why would that leave us?

Would you work for Lady Mary and be with his launcher?

Whatever happens, we'll find a way to make it work.

After all, we'll soon have a new life to think of.

Very true, Mrs. Bates.

There they are.

We need to decide who'll present the final cup for the local hero.

Have you a candidate in mind?

I thought perhaps this year I might present it.

Oh, no.

We couldn't possibly ask you.

Not with everything else you have to do.

No, I thought I would ask Lady Mary Talbot.

Definitely not.

She is known for her interest in the future of fun.

She is also a divorcee and a figure of scandal.

I should think her very presence of the show

would make most decent women feel uneasy.

Decent women are tougher than you think, and marriage has failed.

The best society.

Ask her with the eighth.

I see.

So we're living in a moral cesspit now, are we?

Lady Mary Talbot is a responsible, intelligent and generous woman.

We would be lucky to have her.

Don't you agree, Mrs. Barker?

Well, I work in the kitchen, so I don't know her as Mr. Carson does.

But I haven't got any complaints.

I am not interested in the opinions of a

toady in kitchen mail or a bootlegging butler.

And it will be a cold air held before Lady Merton's

divorced ex-daughter-in-law gives away our prizes.

Please, say what you really think.

I doubt you're ready for that.

Never leave me alone with him.

I'm not much help.

He hates me.

But you're a great help.

You should have rung, my lady.

I wanted to ask if everything's ready for Mr. Coward's dinner.

If Daisy cooked blindfold for the king in his palace, she'd not let anyone down.

I praise them you, Mrs. Patmore.

Only, it's our first party since Lady Mary's

troubles, and I do want it to be a success.

But she didn't come back with you.

She's showing his lordship a flat.

That sounds like a big stamp.

It is.

Might we have tea on the terrace, do you think?

Of course, my lady.

Hello.

It's a big step for me, you know.

Retiring after 50 years and going to live in your cottage with Mr.

Mace Nash, you think so?

No, that's not what I meant.

What did you mean?

Were you right?

I've never lived with Mr. Mason.

Not properly.

Not yet.

Oh, I see.

And I wondered, since you sent me to Mr. Carson all that time ago...

I'm not going to question Mr. Mason.

Sorry, I'm nervous.

If he should want us to... you know, and from what he said, I think he might.

You mustn't be nervous.

Why not?

Because I'll tell you one thing.

It's terrific fun.

Are you sure?

Tom knows what he's talking about.

If Sandra isn't a convicted felon, he should be.

How did he convince you to part with so much?

It was the artinian currency.

Gus said the exchange rates from gold to paper are offered by the Banco de Cordoba.

..

Were yielding far higher profits than anything on the stock market.

You took his word for it.

He was very convincing, so I gave him the

money to put into the company making the deal.

But shortly afterwards he told me the company

had collapsed and all the money was gone.

Who knows if there was a company.

But we can't be sure that the money made its way into Mr. Sandbrook's pockets.

Why didn't you bring him to England?

Well, he had his horse, as you know, and he said

if we persuaded Cora to give us what was left...

he doubled the amount I'd lost.

Can we take him to law?

Prosecution in this sort of case is notoriously hard.

After all, Harold agreed to everything.

I'm afraid it's gone.

I can't believe I was so naive.

Here they are now.

We must be worn out after your journey.

I am.

Are you all right, Harold?

I don't want to open as big a fool as a man can be.

He's rather a shock to us all.

We'll find a way to cheer you up.

Some neighbours are coming for dinner before the show.

They take one look at me and run for the hills.

I see.

How beautiful they stand.

Where are you going?

In this house, my place is in the kitchen.

Well, then we'll all go together.

Oh, Mr Dexter.

Hello.

Mr Coward, this is a great honour.

Not at all.

We have to meet Thomas as part of some crowd.

Mr Coward, this is a great honour.

You should say hello to Lord and Lady Granth.

Did you work at Thomas?

I did.

Mr Parker has just stopped.

Who's the butler?

So you've retired now, Mr Carson.

Well, you wouldn't think it from the time he spends here.

At least you're still around, Mrs Patmore.

Oh, only until now.

Daisy's cooking dinner tonight.

And by tomorrow morning, I'll have retired as well.

So bring your complaints to me.

What America round?

Daisy, you look very familiar.

I'm sorry, Tom.

Yes, you do.

Very familiar indeed.

You should go on.

You're staying down here.

Well, we can't change how England works in one afternoon.

We'll see about that.

Nobody in the music room needs.

I'll let Mr Dexter not.

Can I just... Are they all right?

Mr Mosley, you're in good time.

You've just missed them.

Mr Dexter remembered me.

Well, I look forward to him introducing me to more coward.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I must have missed Coward.

I thought this was my wrong.

I don't believe so.

Unless they're planning a cozy night for us both.

Oh, Mr Coward.

You know, it's good of you to come all this way.

It'll make a real difference.

Oh, to Mary's rebirth.

Was she punished for her divorce?

It hasn't been easy, but you're about to make it a whole lot easier.

That's my room.

To spread sunshine whenever I get up.

It if tells me no one can refuse the chance of meeting you.

The spread to catch the mackerel.

The mackerel to catch the sprats.

See you dinner.

Hello.

What are these?

I wanted ideas for the Jawa House.

Really?

You may want to sit down.

If you like.

But I'm not going to fight you.

And what?

I'm moving into the Jawa House.

There is a surprise.

Why?

It's a good idea.

When will it be ready?

It's ready now.

I've had it cleaned and put all the things back.

You have been busy.

I have.

And your understanding makes things a great deal easier.

I'd say my favourite is Madeleine Carroll.

She's never let the spardan go to her head.

I saw her in American Prisoner.

We talk about England whenever we're together.

The three of us.

And Miss Darkly, is she well?

Yes, but she doesn't mingle with the English much.

She has been reborn as an American.

Do you dine with these people?

Of course I do, Mr Carson.

It's a bit unconventional, Mr Barry.

You'll have Mr Carson there.

I suppose actors and servants are not so very far removed.

Mr Barrow isn't a servant now.

Well, I'm still the organiser.

I make sure things run smoothly.

What would you call that?

I've got a few suggestions.

Exactly.

I better get back to the doc.

Good.

You look just right.

Why are you checking before I go down?

Maybe.

I don't want any trace of sackcloth and ashes.

You mean you're trying to relaunch me as socially desirable?

Why are you always in a contest for who wins the prize?

You're much tougher than you used to be.

He's being a great lady, giving you armour.

So you could force Sambrook not to cheat Marmar.

I almost feel sorry for him.

Almost.

You can't be grateful, can you?

Ooh, are we going to have a fight?

There's no point fighting you.

You never admit when you've lost.

I'll admit it now.

I've been very lost for a while.

But I think I'm coming out of it at last.

Thank God for that.

A perfect might be made by filling a glass with gin,

and then waving it in the general direction of Italy.

Mr Davidson.

Oh, no, these things really are delicious.

Never do early for cocktail.

What's Morsley doing here?

Isn't he making films these days?

Search me.

Who knows?

Lady Mary.

Come and meet Nome.

I thought it was just a few locals.

It's so good of you to come all this way.

It's wonderful to be back here and to see you looking so well.

I was talking earlier to your uncle about your divorce.

What happened?

Well, I doubt I'll be asked that again tonight.

Or is it research for a play?

Maybe.

But don't worry if you'd rather not serve.

No, I'll say.

We fought like cats.

He wanted to be kingpin, but I was the heiress.

And he was just the husband.

He hated that.

How intriguing.

Mr Coward must be used to being served the best food in England.

Maybe, but Mr Morsley read him pitch ago that his favourite is fine as a munch.

Well, tonight he's getting cocky and sunjacked

and dressing him up any better like it.

Yeah.

Mr Coward, can you say what's next?

I have an idea for a sort of spectacle with music.

With a Titanic on stage.

And the world in the grip of the war.

Oh, I like the sound of that.

Two of my cousins died on the Titanic, so I may find it hard to sing along.

But we all lost people we loved in the war,

and yet wonderful plays have come out of it.

And I'm sure you'll have a long run.

No, no, no hates long runs.

Only if I'm in them.

Three months, then on to the next thing.

That's my way.

Excuse me.

I suppose this is all you're doing.

My and Anna Miles.

And Anna helped you.

All to bring me in from the cold.

To show you still have a life in Yorkshire.

And with patience, you can have one in London again too.

I am very grateful.

Don't be.

You're my sister.

Thanks a lot.

Here we are.

Yes, Mrs. Parker.

There's lots to do.

And we like you.

Now, walk to the melon.

Right away, they won't beat it.

I hope your presence here means you have happy memories of Downton.

Very.

Downton changed my life.

I don't get it.

He's playing with me.

He's pretending not to know me.

I don't approve of long speeches.

You'll be happy to hear, but I couldn't at this evening pass.

Without some thanks to you all for coming.

Mary has been through some testing times lately.

And your friendship has never meant more to her, to all of us, than it does now.

You should know that from now on, she will be the mistress of Downton.

You may even be glad, since he will no longer be dealing with me.

Cora and I have decided to move into the Dower House, while Mary presides here.

She knows this estate better than I do, and loves it quite as much.

I can promise with all my heart that she is more than

worthy of the position that she has been called to.

You've been good neighbours to Cora and me, and I hope you still will be.

But the future of Downton Abbey is now in Mary's and later George's hands.

May God bless them.

I give you Mary and George.

That was marvelous.

Well done, Margaret.

Now let's go through together.

All this Queen Mary talk kind of makes you forget her grandfather was of dry goods.

Can I help you with anything more, sir?

Haven't we all finished?

I expect you're possible to see me.

Joseph Lonsley.

I wrote the film.

Oh, of course.

But you're a footman again now.

Never mind, old chap.

It's a fickle business.

What guy?

Go and invite Barrow to join us.

What upstairs?

He doesn't work here anymore.

And for you, he's clearly more a friend than a servant.

You're right.

The old divisions don't seem to mean as much as they did.

I'm not convinced they ever meant much to you.

Can I come with you?

Why?

Well, he wants to see their faces when you make the suggestion.

This way, though.

All I wanted was to meet Mr Coward.

And now he thinks I'm a footman.

Don't get up.

Thomas.

Lady Mary wonders if you'd like some coffee or a drink.

Lady Mary wants Mr Barrow to join them upstairs.

Well, he doesn't work here.

And he's in the house now as a pal of mine.

That's true.

This really is the night that shook the world.

I suppose you think Lady Mary's lost her moral compass, Mr Carson.

Perhaps we should all have a different compass these days.

Well, are you coming?

Do you think I should?

I certainly do.

Right.

Cheer up, Mr Moseley.

You look at marriage.

You're a successful screenwriter.

Isn't that something?

Wait a minute, sir.

You wrote The Gambler.

I did, yes.

Well, you're lucky with God.

Writers can wait years before they get a cast that shows them at their best.

I do know that.

And I know there is an honor to have you here, Mr Coward.

I don't understand.

If you're a writer, then why are you a footman now?

It's a long story.

I hope you've enjoyed your stay at Downton.

Certainly.

And Lady Mary's given me an idea.

What do you mean?

Well, she was talking about her divorce.

And I can see the play in my head.

Oh, but is it right?

To use what people can find about their private lives.

Private lives?

Very good.

Thank you, Mr Moseley.

I'm grateful.

Until the next time.

It shows if you've made a good life for us, a

lovely life, won't you please let us be happy?

I will try.

I promise.

That's all I ask.

Are you all right?

I wish I was in the right clothes.

They look perfectly right to me.

Thank you.

Is that the barrow?

Yes, and you're not to make a thing of it.

Thank you.

We're very informal.

I suppose that comes with living in America.

We're all looking forward to the show.

Oh, I hope it's one that Violet would have been proud of.

I feel it's the last thing I could do for her.

She terrified the daylights out of me.

Maybe, but in truth, she was kinder, funnier, wiser than most people knew.

Quite irreplaceable.

Oh, I don't agree.

I think Mary will replace her if she hasn't already.

I do wish she'd sing for us, No.

I never need to be asked twice.

Wonderful.

Should we gather around?

No one's going to sing something.

Good to see you.

Thank you.

Is this funny?

Or impertinent?

Finding funny leads.

Hey!

Mary, you're the best account for Mary.

Oh, baby, you're lonely.

And maybe someday soon you'll know.

The tears you are tasting are years you are wasting.

Life's a bit of a fool.

Poor little rich girl, you're a bit rich girl.

You're about to take care of me.

I think you're danger, but you're stranger.

But don't beware.

You're weaving love into a mad jazz baton.

Who am I regarding to tell you?

Drop a stitch, twos.

We should be off, too, after a very lovely evening.

But first, I want to apologize.

Apologize?

And what for?

When you first asked, we hung back.

It was cowardly.

Convention makes cowards of us all.

Lady Osbourne said her maid told her Mr Coward was coming.

But how did she know?

Our servants always know more about us than we do about them.

Mary's overcome her trials, and I'm glad.

I hope she'll thrive from now on.

I'm not sure I'm cut out to be the prodigal daughter.

I want my virtues to be celebrated, not my sins forgiven.

I should take what you can get.

You're leaving before the show.

Yeah, all I've left by the time you get home.

Dinner at Southampton, then on board the Leviathan next morning.

Oh, Harold, I hope I haven't let you down.

Don't be silly.

I'm the one who's let everyone down.

You trusted me, and I wasn't worthy of that trust.

You're worthy of my love, and that won't change.

But you weren't so far away.

Perhaps I'll move here.

I'm sure I'd be more English than Robert didn't trust.

Let's stay more in touch in future, and we'll see.

The theatre is a wonderful investment.

If you'd like a bit of a gamble.

What's the name of your new show with the Titanic and the war?

I think I'll call it... Cattle Cade.

Why am I trying my luck as an angel?

I'm very glad you found someone to take over from Mrs Patmore, but...

isn't the time coming when we cook for ourselves, at least in London?

Certainly not.

One day in the 20th century, we'll catch up with

you married, swallow you whole in a single bite.

What if I see it coming?

Er... here's the surprise for you.

I'd like to persuade Cora we should invest in Mr Cowardsman play.

I hope you don't value your shirt.

Nonsense, Guy.

Haven't you heard?

I'm a genius.

It's been a productive visit.

In fact, Lady Mary's given me an idea for the comedy.

No, I can't think how.

It's about a divorced couple who are still in love, but they drive each other mad.

What do you think?

I think I'm not still in love, and I'm not quite ready to find divorce hilarious.

No, I'm going to miss down on it when I go.

But you love America.

Oh, yes.

And we're always being told that Europe is yesterday and America is tomorrow.

But, I don't know.

Sometimes I feel like the past is a more comfortable place than the future.

How proud your father would be.

I hope that's true.

Shouldn't you be at the show?

I came to ask my son for luck before I go.

Coming to you, lift.

That would be kind.

Thank you.

Mr Dexter must have been so grateful to you for writing the film.

The best playwright in the world is nothing without good actors.

Although not much, at least.

Here we go.

Yorkshire County show, 1930.

We hope you all have

a... You were right.

I look a bit shaken.

Mostly drove me.

And on behalf of our new president, Lady Merton,

we hope you're all enjoying within your additions.

The fairground I see is moving very quickly.

Thank you.

Nothing has changed here since 1850.

Well, you can see William's ankles now.

No, it's not much use to us.

Thank you for your help with the dinner.

It was everyone, really, my lady.

William, please, thank you all.

I must answer any well.

Good day.

In the main arena now, the judging of the Highland cattle.

And in the lost children's tent, there's a young girl that doesn't win a beer.

She's too shy to tell us her real name.

The

priority people take place at the end of the show at 4.30 precisely in the marquee.

Take your seat, sir.

Thank you.

Cora, Mary, follow me.

Are you sure?

Shouldn't I just hover in the shadows?

Oh, of course not.

Lady Merton, there you are.

Lady Merton.

Lady Mary, I didn't know you were coming.

Let me find you a seat.

Lady Mary is sitting in the front row with the family.

Are you sure?

Because you have plenty of pieces.

I'm quite sure.

Ah, Lord Grantham, we have a place reserved for you.

How kind, Sir Hector.

How was your dinner last night?

It was just a supper, really.

I know all about it.

Hell hath no fury like a spouse.

Go on.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

And now, our final prize today for our local hero.

But first, as a tribute to my predecessor,

we have renamed this the Violet Grantham Cup.

Once I've decided...

And I would like to invite Lady Mary to present it.

What?

Quite right.

Go on.

Firstly, I can't explain how much your support today means to me.

But I want you to know that you are, all of you, more important to me than I can say.

Now, this prize is for someone who's made a real difference.

A farmer for 60 years until his retirement.

It gives me great pleasure to present the cup to Mr Albert Mason.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

So...

Thanks to you all for this great honour.

And thanks to Lady Mary, the new mistress of Downton Abbey.

Like all of us, I wish her well.

Well, everyone seems very happy, Sir Hector.

And when standards are learned as far as is

usually the case, we just had to be patient.

And while that finished, my Lady, Mr and Mrs Bates will

go ahead and it should all be ready when you arrive.

You're kind to have allowed this.

Not really.

You know Mrs Bates well and, of course, I'm glad to work for Lady Mary.

She'll need all the support she can get.

She'll not be disappointed.

Not if I can help it.

Thank you.

That's true.

So, off we go for our next adventure.

I'm looking forward to it, my lord.

I'm honoured to be Dubliners' ballad and butler.

I won't let you down.

Do you ever think of where it all began, Bates?

That day at Tagayla Heights, under General Buller, waiting to march on Lady Smith.

To be honest, my lord, I didn't think we'd get out of that alive.

I wouldn't have done without you.

I don't know.

I do.

I know it very well.

You took a bullet for me and I think about it often.

I wanted to catch you before you left.

I was just coming up to say goodbye.

We'll see a lot of each other, even if your new duties keep you busy.

I'll look forward to that, my Lady.

But I do have one thing I'd like to ask if I may.

Of course.

What is it?

When the baby's born, might you consider being the godmother?

I should be honoured.

That means so much to me, my Lady.

So much.

Now, I think I've told Miss Baxter all she needs to know.

I'm sure you have.

But I'll still depend on you.

You know that.

I think we all depend on each other, my Lady.

The way people should.

I'll say goodbye now.

I promise Lucy we won't be back too late.

You've been so helpful, Tom.

With all of it.

You know I'll never be off the telephone asking advice.

No, I can offer what you don't know already.

I'll always be happy to help.

Goodbye, darling.

Sybil will be so proud of you.

Bye, Aunt Mary.

Dear Sylvia.

I had good news in the post.

Good news for you, anyway.

An offer on Grantham House.

Didn't her things have gone that far?

You were right.

It was time.

We should go.

They're all waiting.

We've decided to walk.

Come along, George.

Goodness.

Thank you.

Like the old days.

The kitchen staff weren't included in the old days.

That was them, Mrs. Now.

I'm glad to see you, Mrs. Cloutmore.

I heard you were going, my Lady.

I wanted to say goodbye.

Please thank Mr. Mason for what he said at the show.

I will, my Lady.

It was very kind of his lordship to land his car.

I think you've earned it.

Would you like a visit to the Darhouset to help you settle in?

Give us a few days and we'll love it.

You ready?

I am.

Back to work.

Mr. Russell.

Please say you're not sorry to leave.

I'm not.

We've done our duty.

I've given half my life to Delta.

And I'm glad I have some left to give to you.

I think we'll be happy living in the Darhouset.

Sharing with my miles of ghosts.

She's part of our story.

And it's all part of our story.

And I love you.

That's what makes it all worthwhile.

Give my love to your brother.

Are you sure you won't stay?

You ought to get going.

And I'm eager to see Peter.

And you're pleased with the way things have worked out.

Every time a place like this passes to the next generation, it's a victory in itself.

Long live Downton Abbey.

I'll mend that.
