　　[INT. DOWNTON COTTAGE HOSPITAL - DAY]

　　[Thomas reads Lt. Courtenay's post to him.]

　　THOMAS

　　"Things cannot be as they were and, whatever you might think, Jack¹ has your best interest at heart."

　　LT. COURTENAY

　　Stop.

　　THOMAS

　　Who's Jack?

　　LT. COURTENAY

　　My younger brother. He means to replace me. It's what he's always wanted.

　　THOMAS

　　Yeah, well...

　　LT. COURTENAY

　　I'm sorry. I mustn't bore you.

　　THOMAS

　　Don't let him walk all over you. Go fight your [?].

　　LT. COURTENAY

　　What with?

　　THOMAS

　　Your brain. You're not a victim, don't let them make you into one.

　　LT. COURTENAY

　　You know, when you talk like that, I almost believe you.

　　THOMAS

　　You should believe me. All my life they've pushed me around...just 'cause I'm different.

　　LT. COURTENAY

　　How? Why are you different?

　　THOMAS

　　Nevermind. Look. Look, I d-- I don't know if you're going to see again or not, but I do know you have to fight back.

　　[Courtenay pat's Thomas's knee in thanks. Thomas grasps his hand back.]

　　[EXT. DOWNTON ABBEY, GROUNDS - DAY]

　　[Rosamund pauses on her walk when she hears Lavinia.]

　　LAVINIA

　　How dare you threaten me.

　　[Carlisle has a hold on Lavinia's wrists.]

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　How dare I? Oh, I assure² you, I dare a great deal more than that.

　　LAVINIA

　　You can't. You wouldn't.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　I didn't say I would. I was merely reminding you it was in my power.

　　[Rosamund lingers³ on her walk and Lavinia and Carlisle catch sight of her.]

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Lady Painswick.

　　LADY ROSAMUND

　　Lady Rosamund.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　I'm sorry. I'll get these things sorted out before too long.

　　LADY ROSAMUND

　　It's not important.

　　SIR RICHARD CARLISLE

　　Miss Swire and I were just talking about old times.

　　LAVINIA

　　Happy old times, I hope. Will you forgive me? I want to write some letters before dinner.

　　[EXT. LONG FIELD FARM - DAY]

　　[Edith continues to help out on the farm.]

　　JOHN DRAKE

　　Let's have a rest. We've earned it. [Drake fetches a couple of beers.]

　　JOHN DRAKE

　　I should've gone in for a glass. I don't suppose you can drink out of a bottle, can you milady?

　　LADY EDITH

　　I wish you'd call me Edith. And of course I can drink from the bottle.

　　[They drink.]

　　LADY EDITH

　　Would you like me to teach you to drive? JOHN DRAKE

　　Not much. Then you wouldn't come here no more.

　　[Edith smiles.]

　　JOHN DRAKE

　　Although, that wouldn't matter to you.

　　LADY EDITH

　　Why do you say that?

　　JOHN DRAKE (sigh)

　　You're pretty and clever and fine. You're from a different world.

　　[Mrs Drake comes around the cart with a couple of pails⁴ and a sour expression.]

　　MRS DRAKE

　　Is something wrong?

　　JOHN DRAKE

　　No. Just having a break.

　　MRS DRAKE

　　Because you want to get into town to fetch the bone meal. And be back in time to feed the cows before it's dark.

　　LADY EDITH

　　They could always have a midnight feast⁵.

　　[Drake and Edith laugh. Mrs Drake nods and glares⁶ at her husband.]
