May 1914

SPEAKER

Last June saw Emily Davison crushed碾压 to death beneath the hooves蹄 of the king’s horse! Will the summer of 1914 prove as fatal致命的 for the hopes of women? It cannot! This historic by-election递补选举 can be the first step of the journey to women’s equality!

WOMAN

If you’re so keen on women’s rights, let a woman speak!

MAN

But why stop there? Let’s get the dogs up and listen to them bark!

SPEAKER

Women! Women...are thrown out of jail...!

BRANSON

Are you all right, milady?

LADY SYBIL

Isn’t it exciting?

SPEAKER

Only to be dragged back inside!

MAN

You’re an idiot!

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

Sybil, I think it’s time for Branson to take you home!

LADY SYBIL

Not yet.

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

I think so. I applaud 赞同your spirit in coming, and I will applaud your discretion 明智之举when you leave!

LADY SYBIL

But you agree with everything he says?

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

I do, my dear, but I also know if anything happens to you, Branson will lose his place.

BRANSON

Better safe than sorry,凡事要谨顺 milady.

SPEAKER

...is an act of mercy. I disagree.

BRANSON

The car is just here.

LADY SYBIL

Women must get the vote, mustn’t they, Branson? Why does the prime minister 首相resist the inevitable?势不可当，不可避免

BRANSON

Politicians can’t often recognise the changes that are inevitable.

LADY SYBIL

I hope you do go into参与 politics. It’s a fine ambition.

BRANSON

Ambition or dream? If I do, it’s not all about women and the vote for me, nor even freedom for Ireland. It’s the gap between the aristocracy 贵族and the poor and...

LADY SYBIL

And what?

BRANSON

I’m sorry. I don’t mean to speak against指责 His Lordship.

LADY SYBIL

Why not? You obviously don’t approve of him.

BRANSON

Not as a representative of an oppressive class. But he’s a good man, and decent employer.

LADY SYBIL

Spoken like a true politician.

LADY SYBIL

What do I look like? Could you sneak me around the back? I should hate for Papa to see me like this.

MRS PATMORE

Where? I’m not a mind reader!会读心术

MRS HUGHES

Mrs Patmore is very cruel to that poor girl.

MR CARSON

Mrs Patmore is frightened.

MRS HUGHES

Is she right to be?

MR CARSON

Well, Dr Clarkson has confirmed she has cataracts.白内障

MRS HUGHES

What can be done about it?

MR CARSON

There are treatments, but even the best are uncertain. She doesn't want to risk losing what sight she still has.

MRS HUGHES

I don't blame her, but it can't go on forever.

MR CARSON

No.

MRS HUGHES

Oh, dear. Have you had bad news? I shouldn't have bothered you.

MR CARSON

You weren't to know.

LADY SYBIL

Oh!

WILLIAM

Excuse me, milady.

LADY SYBIL

William, will you find Anna and tell her I've gone upstairs?

WILLIAM

Very good, milady.

THOMAS

You clumsy clodhopper.乡下佬

WILLIAM

Sorry.

THOMAS

You will be sorry when I've finished you. Look at this!

MR BATES

Leave him alone.

WILLIAM

Anna, Lady Sybil's back from Ripon. She's gone up to her room.

ANNA

Thank you.

MISS O'BRIEN

Why does she waste her precious time on politics?

THOMAS

Hear, hear.

MR BATES

Oh, don't you believe in rights for women, Thomas?

THOMAS

What's it to you?

MR BATES

Well, I know you don't believe in rights of property所有权. I think some people might find that interesting.

THOMAS

Who's going to tell them? You?

MRS HUGHES

Mr Carson, are you all right?

MR CARSON

Why shouldn't I be?

MRS HUGHES

You've never rung the dressing gong, and Mrs Patmore's doing a soufflé蛋奶酥 for the first course.主菜

MR CARSON

Oh, my God.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Rather unlike Carson. We'd better go straight in to dinner.

MR BATES

I shall tell Miss O'Brien and Anna.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Any more news of the by-election? Mr Crawley was here earlier. He said his mother had gone to the Liberal rally示威游行 in Ripon.

MR BATES

I heard it was quite lively.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

I daresay the Townies will make the usual stink 反对when the Tory candidate's returned.

MR BATES

I'm not sure. I heard the Liberal 自由党was given a hard time today. Mr Branson said it was getting out of hand失控 when they left.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Typical Branson to be there. I hope he squared it with Carson. Who went with him?

MR BATES

Er...I'm not sure anyone went with him, my lord.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

You just said "they". Who was with him?

MR BATES

I'd rather not say.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Bates, who was with him?

MR BATES

Lady Sybil.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Lady Sybil? Why?

MR BATES

I should never have mentioned it, my lord. I thought you knew.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

No, I did not know.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

I gather you went to hear the Liberal candidate today?

LADY SYBIL

There were several speakers, actually. He was the last.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Did he speak well?

LADY SYBIL

I thought so.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

But there was quite a brouhaha.吵闹

LADY SYBIL

You know what these things can be like.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

I do.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Which is why I am astonished you should not feel it necessary to ask my permission to attend!

I assume this was Branson's scheme.

LADY SYBIL

No.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

I confess, I was amused at the idea of an Irish radical 激进分子for a chauffeur, but I see now I have been naïve天真的.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

I told Branson to take Sybil.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

What are you saying?!

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Sybil needed to go to Ripon. I asked Branson to drive her. I thought it would be sensible, in case there was trouble.

LADY SYBIL

I want to do some canvassing拉票活动. The by-election isn't far off.近在眼前

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Canvassing?

LADY SYBIL

Oh, it's quite safe. You're in a group and you knock on doors.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Yes, I know what canvassing is.

LADY MARY

I think that Sybil is--

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

What? Are you canvassing, too? Or would you rather take in washing?

LADY MARY

I was only going to say that Sybil is entitled to her opinions.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

No! She isn't until she is married. Then her husband will tell her what her opinions are.

LADY MARY

Oh, Granny!

LADY SYBIL

I knew you wouldn't approve.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Which presumably推测起来，想必 is why you all hid your plans from me.

THOMAS

Her Ladyship will have a smacked bottom if she's not careful.

MR CARSON

Hurry up. I don't want anything else to go wrong tonight. Where's the sauce? Doesn't this have Hollandaise?荷兰酱

DAISY

I'll get it. I won't be a jiffy.一会儿

THOMAS

Would you do that for me?

DAISY

I'd do anything for you.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Does this mean you won't be presented next month?

LADY SYBIL

Certainly not. Why should it?

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Well, I doubt I'd expect to curtsey to Their Majesties in June, when I'd been arrested at a riot暴乱 in May. But them I'm old. Things may be different now.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

She hasn't been arrested, and it wasn't a riot.

LADY EDITH

But it might be next time.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

There will not be a next time.

ANNA

Her Ladyship's not best pleased at being told off in public. William said she was looking daggers.两眼冒火

MR BATES

I'm sorry I started all this.

BRANSON

Ah, it's not your fault. Anyway, he ought to be glad he's got a daughter who cares.

THOMAS

Her Ladyship's ready to leave.

BRANSON

I'll bring the car around.

THOMAS

Are you pleased with yourself?

ANNA

Silly chump.

MR BATES

He's nervous. He thinks I'm planning to tell Mr Carson about the wine.

ANNA

Well, he shouldn't have stolen it then, should he?

MR BATES

No. But I don't want anyone to lose their job because of me.

ANNA

Even Thomas? Even after what they tried to do to you?

MR BATES

Even then.

MR CARSON

Your Ladyship, do you have a moment?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Of course.

MR CARSON

I have received a letter, my lady, from a friend of mine. He's valet to the Marquess of Flintshire.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

I don't envy him.

MR CARSON

Lord Flintshire is a minister at the Foreign Office.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

As you know, Lady Flintshire is His Lordship's cousin.

MR CARSON

Oh, of course, of course. The point is, he has dealing打交道 with the Turkish ambassador. It seems His Excellency has made him privy 知情to a scurrilous 下流的story concerning Lady Mary and the late...

MR CARSON

Mr Pamuk.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

May I read this letter?

MR CARSON

Is there anything you want me to do about it?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

No, thank you. Sometimes even to deny these things is only to throw paraffin 石蜡onto the flames.

MR CARSON

I did try to inform His Lordship--

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

What?

MR CARSON

But I...couldn't seem to find the right moment.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Quite right. Please leave His Lordship to me.

MISS O'BRIEN

I'm sorry. The only sure way to get rid of a servant is to have him or her suspected of stealing.

THOMAS

Aren't you forgetting we've tried that and it didn't work.

MISS O'BRIEN

But last time we invented a theft. What we need to do is to make him a suspect when something's really been stolen.

THOMAS

How do we know anything's been stolen?

MISS O'BRIEN

Because you stole it, you noodle.笨蛋

THOMAS

Oh, you mean the wine.

MISS O'BRIEN

Yeah, the wine.

THOMAS

But that's the whole point; Bates knows I took it. He was threatening to tell Mr Carson.

MISS O'BRIEN

Well, he can't, can he? Not if we get in first.

MR CARSON

Are you telling me you saw him take the cellar 酒窖key?

THOMAS

Not exactly, but I saw him in here and I thought the key was swinging on its hook. I just wondered if you'd noticed if any of the wine was missing.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

I think I owe you an apology, after the way I spoke at含沙射影 dinner.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Next time you want to treat me like a naughty schoolgirl, you might do it in private, not in front of the servants.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

You're right. I'm sorry.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Of course, it gave your mother her best evening since Christmas.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Hm. Even so, we must try to keep control of Sybil.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Robert, believe me, Sybil is not your problem. We've got to support Mary this year. When we get to London.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

But it's Sybil's first season.做某事的的时段 We can't have Mary stealing her thunder.抢风头

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Sybil will do well enough. It's time Mary was settled. High time.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Poor old Edith. We never seem to talk about her.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

I'm afraid Edith will be the one to care for us in our old age.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

What a ghastly prospect愿景.

LADY MARY

Mama? Anna said you wanted me.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Look who's paid us a visit.

LADY MARY

Sir Anthony! How nice. We all thought we'd driven you away with that horrible salty pudding.

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

No, indeed. But I have been away.

LADY EDITH

He's been in Austria and Germany.

LADY MARY

How interesting.

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

Interesting...and worrying.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Sir Anthony's here to show you his new car.

LADY MARY

Oh.

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

I've--I've rather taken to driving myself, and I have to keep finding destinations to justify it.

LADY MARY

What kind of car is it?

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

It's an open Rolls Royce劳斯莱斯, and I wondered if you might like a spin 兜风in it.

LADY MARY

Oh, how kind. But alas, not today. I've had Diamond saddled and he's waiting for me.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

You could ride this afternoon.

LADY MARY

But it's arranged now. But thank you, Sir Anthony. Do ask me again.

LADY EDITH

I...don't suppose you'd take me?

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

Of course. I should be delighted.

MR BATES

What is it that I'm accused of?

MR CARSON

Oh, nobody's "accusing" you of anything, but there has been a suggestion that you were handling the cellar key, and before I take it any further, I want to find if there's a simple explanation.

MR BATES

Because some wine is missing?

MR CARSON

How do you know that?

MR CARSON

Right. Well, we'll leave it there for now.

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

The Kaiser is such a mercurial 不可捉摸的figure - one minute the warlord军阀, the next a lovelorn 多情的poet.

LADY EDITH

But a poet in need of an empire.

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

That's very good. "A poet in need of an empire," yes. My late wife used to say that...

LADY EDITH

What did Lady Strallan used to say?

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

Oh, never mind.

LADY EDITH

But I should like to hear it.

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

Really?

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

Would you really? She used to say that Kaiser Bill loved uniforms and medals, but he never really connected them with fighting.

LADY EDITH

What was she like?

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

Maud? Oh, she was awfully funny. Some people couldn't see it, but she was.

LADY MARY

Is Lynch anywhere about在附近的?

WILLIAM

Oh, I haven't seen him, milady.

LADY MARY

My horse is lame.

WILLIAM

Oh, I could have a look at him.

LADY MARY

Do you know about horses?

WILLIAM

I looked after the horses on my father's farm. It was the best job in the world.

LADY MARY

Then why did you leave it?

WILLIAM

Me mother wanted me to have a chance of bettering myself.

LADY MARY

As a second footman?

WILLIAM

It's a good place for me, milady.

LADY MARY

Of course it is. I'm sorry.

WILLIAM

She hopes, one day, that I might be first footman, or even get to be...

LADY MARY

Carson had better watch out.

WILLIAM

Stranger things happen at sea.

MISS O'BRIEN

I've seen Mr Bates with a bottle from time to time. I must have thought he was helping you.

MR CARSON

Why would I order a valet to help with the wine?

MISS O'BRIEN

Well, when you put表达 it like that, of course you wouldn't.

MR CARSON

So, Mr Bates is taking wine. And why would this be? To drink it?

THOMAS

It's not to clean his boots.

MR CARSON

Thank you, Thomas. Daisy? Thomas says you have something to add to this.

DAISY

Well...

MR CARSON

You're not in any trouble or any danger of trouble.

THOMAS

You remember what you saw.

DAISY

I may have seen him coming out of the cellar.

MR CARSON

"May"? Did you or didn't you?

MISS O'BRIEN

It's very hard for the girl, Mr Carson. You're frightening her.

MR CARSON

I'm sorry. Thank you. You may go.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Thank you, O'Brien. How is everything downstairs?

MISS O'BRIEN

All right, I think, milady. Though, Mr Carson's a bit cast down.沮丧

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Oh? Why? What's the matter with him?

MISS O'BRIEN

He's found out something about...well, a person he admires, and it isn't very nice.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Has he said who this person is...who's proved a disappointment?

MISS O'BRIEN

I don't like to say, milady.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Please do, if you know.

MISS O'BRIEN

Oh, I know. It's Mr Bates.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Oh. Bates? Why? What's he done?

MISS O'BRIEN

You should ask Mr Carson, milady. It's not my place to tell.

LADY SYBIL

Papa... Can Branson drive me into Ripon on Friday evening?

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

I don't think so, no. Not after the last time.

LADY SYBIL

Oh, please. There's a meeting of my borstal青少年管教所 charity. I've missed two, and I simply必须 must be there.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

You'd have to take Mary or Edith with you.

LADY SYBIL

Don't make me. Those meetings are deadly at the best of times, and you know what they're like when they're bored.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Why are all your causes so steeped in沉浸于steeped in沉浸于?

LADY SYBIL

Because it's the gloomy things that need our help. If everything in the garden's sunny, why meddle管闲事?

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Well, I agree with that. Talking of sunny, are you looking forward to your coming Season?

LADY SYBIL

I am, rather.

LADY MARY

Hello.

LADY MARY

What are you doing here?

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

I'm in search of your father. Carson thought he was outside.

LADY MARY

He's in the library.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

Oh.

LADY MARY

What is it?

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

Nothing much. I've had an inquiry about one of the farms.

LADY MARY

Ah.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

So...what's new at the big house?

LADY MARY

Sybil, mainly. She's discovered politics, which of course makes Papa see red.勃然大怒

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

I admire Sybil's passion, though.

LADY MARY

Of course. But then, I like a good argument. Papa does not.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

If you really like an argument...

LADY MARY

Yes?

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

We should see more of each other.

LADY SYBIL

So, it's all right? I can go?

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Will you be late?

LADY SYBIL

I think I'll miss dinner.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Well, remember to tell Branson to take a sandwich for himself.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

But who's it from?

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Susan Flintshire.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

What does she say?

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Well, prepare yourself for the worst. Not the first page. My poor niece never uses one word when twenty will do. Start there. "I'm sorry..."

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

"I am sorry to have to tell you that Hugh has heard a vile卑鄙的 story about your granddaughter Mary..."

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

"Sorry"? She's thrilled. Now, first I must ask - and I want you to think carefully before you answer - is any of this true?

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

I see. Some of it is true.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

How much?

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Oh, dear.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

She didn't drag him.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

I wondered about that. I mean, obviously Susan's forgotten the distance between the girls' rooms and the bachelors' corridor.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

She couldn't manage it alone.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

So how did she do it?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

I helped her. She woke me up and I helped her.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Well...I always thought this family might be approaching dissolution分崩离析. I didn't know dissolution was already upon us. Does Robert know?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

No. And he isn't going to.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Oh...

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Of course it was terribly wrong. It was all terribly wrong, but I didn't see what else--

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Please.

VIOLET, DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

I can't listen to your attempts to try and justify yourself.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

I know this is hard for you to hear. God knows it was hard for me to live through熬过. But if you expect me to disown脱离关系 my daughter, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Good day.

ANNA

I thought you must be out here.

MR BATES

And you'd be right.

ANNA

I know you're upset.

MR BATES

Yes, I'm upset. I've been working here two years and yet Mr Carson has no difficulty believing the worst of me.

ANNA

I think he has a great deal of difficulty, which is why he hasn't told His Lordship yet. Can't you just explain about Thomas?

MR BATES

Not now. It would sound like a false accusation.诬告

ANNA

You can't take it lying down不做反抗, because you're not guilty of any wrong, and before it's over, I'm going to tell the world.公然于世

MR BATES

Are you? I'm not sure the world is listening.

GWEN

Sorry, I'm a bit late tonight.

LADY SYBIL

Not to worry. How are you?

GWEN

Bearing up.还行

LADY SYBIL

This isn't the end. You mustn't give up. We'll get there.

GWEN

Forgive me, my lady, but you don't get it. You're brought up to think it's all within your grasp, that if you want something enough it will come to you. Well, we're not like that. We don't think our dreams are bound to come true, because...because they almost never do.

LADY SYBIL

Then that's why we must stick together. Your dream is my dream now, and I'll make it come true.

THOMAS

Why hasn't he done anything? He's had the story and the witnesses.

MISS O'BRIEN

"The witnesses"? What do you think this is, a murder mystery?

THOMAS

Well, Mr Bates can't accuse me now. It'll sound as if he's trying to get his own back.以牙还牙

MISS O'BRIEN

If I lose my job over this, I swear to God I'll swing for you.

WILLIAM

Is there any stale 变质的bread you're throwing out?扔掉 And some salt.

DAISY

Why?

WILLIAM

Well, I thought I'd make a last hot poultice 膏状药or Diamond. It'll give him a better night.

DAISY

You big softie心肠柔软的人. What'll Mr Lynch say?

WILLIAM

Well, he doesn't mind. He says I've got the touch本领，技能. He thinks I should pack this in停止，放弃 and be a groom.

DAISY

Why don't you?

WILLIAM

My mum. She was so excited when I came here. They're proud of me, and I'd hate to spoil that.

DAISY

Do you miss them?

DAISY

I never had that in my childhood. Someone you could always trust.

WILLIAM

I trust them, they trust me. There are no lies in our house.

WILLIAM

Thanks, that's enough.

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

I'm glad to catch you. We have a conundrum 难题at the hospital, and I would value your opinion.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

'Course.

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

We've been treating the mother of you footman, William Mason.

LADY MARY

What's the matter with her?

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

Heart, I'm afraid. She's forbidden us to say anything to her son.

LADY MARY

That's ridiculous.

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

She's gone home now, but she's still very ill. Clearly, the boy should go and see her, and I assume you would have no objections.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Of course not.

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

So... do we break a patient's confidence秘密 and disobey her orders, or not?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

We can't, if she's forbidden it.

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

I must say I agree with you.

LADY MARY

Well, I'll tell him.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

No, you will not. She has rights, too, and there are rules.

LADY MARY

I don't care a fig毫不介意 about rules.

BRANSON

Where to from here, milady?

LADY SYBIL

What do you mean? We've arrived.

BRANSON

The meeting's in one of these buildings here?

LADY SYBIL

This is the meeting. We're here for the counting of the votes.

BRANSON

I don't understand. I thought that...

LADY SYBIL

Don't be silly, Branson. You didn't think I'd miss my very first by-election?

BRANSON

I don't think His Lordship would approve.

LADY SYBIL

Let me worry about him.

BRANSON

I have to park the car. Don't move. Stay where you are!

LADY SYBIL

Really, Branson, I thought I gave the orders.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Well, I said to...

THOMAS

Sir Anthony Strallan.

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

Sir Anthony?

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

Don't worry, Lady Grantham. I haven't got the date wrong.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

What a relief. I could hear Cora wondering if dinner would stretch.足够来……

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

No, I'm not really here at all, but I was driving past your gates on the way to the

Callender-Becketts, and I thought I'd take a chance. You see, the thing is, I've got two tickets for a concert in York next Friday.

LADY MARY

How nice. Although, I--I can't--

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

No, I was hoping that Lady Edith might like to accompany me.

LADY EDITH

But I'd love to.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

Shouldn't you ask what sort of concert it is?

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

Just Hungry Hundreds stuff mostly, you know. Bellini, Puccini, Rossini. I'm not up to anything complicated.

LADY EDITH

I--I'd like that very much.

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

Excellent. Well, it's quite a hike 很长的距离, so I'll pick you up around 6:00? Lady Jervas has asked us for a bite to eat afterwards, if that's all right with your mother?

CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

By all means.当然

SIR ANTHONY STRALLAN

Well, I must run. I hope I haven't spoilt your dinner.

ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

We may have to hire a nurse after all.

MRS PATMORE

Oh, for heaven's sake, hold it steady if you don't want to start again from the beginning.

DAISY

Do these biscuits go up?

MRS PATMORE

No, I put them out for the fairies.

DAISY

Oh.

MRS PATMORE

Of course they're going up. What's wrong with you? You're always dozy昏倦的, but tonight you'd make Sleeping Beauty look alert.

DAISY

MRS PATMORE

DAISY

I was just thinking.

MRS PATMORE

Blimey, batten down the hatches.要做好心理准备。

DAISY

I think I've let myself down.

MRS PATMORE

It can't be a new sensation.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

What on earth are you doing here?

LADY SYBIL

I couldn't miss this.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

Couldn't you? I could.

BRANSON

I don't like the look of this, milady.

BRANSON

Look, look, I'm on your side. Don't cause any trouble; you have to believe me.

MAN

What's your problem, then, Mr La-di-da?

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

My problem is you.

MAN

Oh, aye?

BRANSON

Oh, no. Oh, please God, no.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

This way.

GWEN

I've fetched a coat.

LADY MARY

Why? What do I need a coat for?

BRANSON

I've come to fetch you, my lady. We've taken Lady Sybil to Crawley House in the village.

LADY MARY

What's happened?

BRANSON

I took her to Ripon for the count. She got injured in a fight.

LADY MARY

Take me there at once.

LADY MARY

My God. Oh, my darling...

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

I didn't know what to do, so I had Branson bring her here.

LADY MARY

Quite right. Mama would have fainted if she'd seen her like this. As for Papa...

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

This will sting刺痛 a bit, but it's stopped bleeding. Did you know she was planning this?

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

Of course not.

ISOBEL CRAWLEY

Well, what were you doing there? I was working late. I'd forgotten it was election night or I wouldn't have stayed.

LADY SYBIL

I'm so grateful you did.

LADY MARY

I could wring拧Branson's neck.

MATTHEW CRAWLEY

What was he thinking? I'm afraid it'll cost him his job.
