[INT. DOWNTON ABBEY, WARD - DAY]

　　LADY EDITH

　　As soon as I've done this, I'll take your orders for books.

　　OFFICER 1

　　Thank you.

　　OFFICER 2

　　Nurse?

　　NURSE

　　Do you need help with [?]?

　　OFFICER 2

　　No, I'm fine.

　　[Mary distributes the carafes in the room.]

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I hadn't cast you as Florence Nightingale.

　　LADY MARY

　　We can't leave all the moral high ground to Sybil. She might get lonely there. How are you? I--I know I mustn't ask you what you're doing.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　You can ask what I'm doing in Downton. We've finished in the Midlands, and tomorrow we start in the camps in the northern counties.

　　LADY MARY

　　Ah. Will we see something of you?

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　I think my general ought to come here. It's exactly the sort of thing people like to read about.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Sybil, come, Edith can do that.

　　MATTHEW CRAWLEY

　　Dear Mother. She does love a bit of authority. I suppose she's driving Cousin Cora mad.

　　LADY MARY

　　No names, no pack drill.

　　[Mary puts a finger over her lips and they both smile.]

　　[INT. DOWNTON COTTAGE HOSPITAL, WARD - DAY]

　　DOCTOR

　　Breathe in.

　　[The doctor holds a stethoscope to Branson's chest as he breathes in.]

　　DOCTOR

　　And out.

　　[Branson exhales. The doctor takes off the stethoscope and fills out the medical form.]

　　DOCTOR

　　I'm surprised they didn't get you before now.

　　BRANSON

　　Some people have all the luck, sir.

　　DOCTOR

　　You can get dressed.

　　[Branson buttons up his shirt.]

　　BRANSON

　　Shall I report for duty in Richmond?

　　DOCTOR

　　You'll be told what to do.

　　[INT. SERVANTS' HALL - DAY]

　　THOMAS

　　But I must supervise the medical staff.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Overseen by me. And Carson, I'm relying on you to make that that is--

　　[Cora enters with Mrs Hughes behind her.]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What's going on?

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　I was arranging the household duties where they overlap with the duties of the nursing staff.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Shall we continue this upstairs?

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Well, I've made some charts and--

　　[Cora gives her a severe look.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Of course.

　　[Isobel and Cora leave.]

　　ETHEL

　　Did you say you were the manager or the referee?

　　O'BRIEN

　　You can see what we're up against.

　　THOMAS

　　Don't worry, we'll find a solution.

　　[INT. LIBRARY - DAY]

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　You take over every room in the house, you bark at me like a sergeant major, and you give orders to my servants.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Cora, I'm sure Cousin--

　　[Mary enters.]

　　LADY MARY

　　I'm sorry, are you in the middle of something?

　　DR CLARKSON

　　We're discussing the arrangements.

　　LADY MARY

　　Oh, good, because we've had a letter from Evelyn Napier. He's in a hospital in Middlesbrough and he's heard that we're a convalescent home now, and wonders if he can come here once he's released.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　Of course he can come here.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Well, now, just a minute.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　There's no question of him coming here.

　　CORA, COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM

　　What?

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　The  Middlesbrough  General  will  have  their  own  arrangements  for  where  their  patients convalesce.

　　DR CLARKSON

　　I'm afraid Mrs Crawley is right. Downton must function as part of the official system, or it cannot function at all.

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　Now, I think, perhaps, I should make one thing clear. Downton is our house and our home, and we will welcome in it any friends or any relations we choose. And if you do not care to accept that condition, then I suggest you give orders for the nurses, and the patients, and the beds, and the rest of it, to be packed up and shipped out at once!

　　[Cora holds in a smile.]

　　DR CLARKSON

　　Thank you, Lord Grantham, for making your position so clear.

　　[Clarkson clears his throat and starts to leave.]

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Oh, just one more thing. The dog. What should we do to stop Isis getting into the patients' rooms?

　　ROBERT, EARL OF GRANTHAM

　　I can answer that. Absolutely nothing.

　　ISOBEL CRAWLEY

　　Ah.
